A Cevrt Of Fine Manners,

At the court of Marie Antoinette all
emotions and passions were yelled by q
mask OF politeness Even the children
were taught to speak with wit and tact
and courtesy and to bear pain in 81
lence The little Duo d Angouleme,
eight years old, when the old Sanbrun
entered his presence Unexpectedly,
said. touching the book in his hand;
"Ah. monsieur. | am in the company
of Plutarch's men. You could not
come at moment more apropos. The
Count de Pallance, beheaded in his
tenth year. stood erect and calm in the
cart until he reached the guillotine.
The headsman lifted his long curls.
Monsieur" said the boy with bow
and a smile. The next moment his
head rolled in dust The man or wo-
man who showed any signs of preten-
ton or self conceit was not received at
court. Profound Difference was shown
to women and to the aged. Well bred
men heard of their own ruin with a
bonnet and went out to fight each
other TO the death with such grace and
courtesy that the duel seemed a sacra-
ment of friendship.

The great perfumers OF the midd

The great perfumers OF the middle
ages were. 1t appears, the Arabs. The
fashion Of using perfumery came Into
west Europe through the crusades.
Italians were the great dealers In 1t
and often sold disguised subtle poisons
in their perfumes. Catherine de- Medi
ci like many of her ancestors, gained
her private and public ends through
poisonous perfumes. Cardinal Richie
lieu first saw what a business could be
created by diStilling the field and or
ange grove flowers of Provence. Anne
of Austria, the wife of Louis MIL,
could not go moment without her
scent bottle and liked to have her linen
scented. Noltaire spoke of the per
fumed bath as the luxury of luxuries.
The sunny hills OF the Var became a
mine of wealth and remain so to this
day, for the scent distilled from flow
ers has a subtle delicacy which still
gives 1t the primacy. The Empress
Josephine gave another great stimulus
TO the scent industry. She constantly
held before her mouth dainty lace Dor
dered lawn pocket handkerchiefs. on
which she had sprinkled some delicious
perfume.-London News.

Of San Luis Obispo. there is situated
one Of the most remarkable prehistoric
monuments known TO the archaeolo-
glsts. From distance 1t looks like an
immense rock rising from the plains Of
Carissa, but upon nearer approach it
ID seen to be temple of extraordinary
dimensions aud of unknown antiquity.
The inner court has level floor o25
feet long and l25 feet wide, and the
ceiling Is from 80 to 100 feet high. ac-
cording to situation. The building was
evidently used by prehistoric man. but
for what purpose and how long since
no one knows 1t has been suggested,
however, that il was either a temple of
worship or the capitol of some ancient
government The walls and portions
of the ceiling are beautifully decorated
with paintings in colors red. white and
black, many OF them supposed to have
some symbolic meaning.

entists as Megascoides australs. Al
though it is a monster, from four to
six feet In length and from one TO one
and three-quarter inches in diameter. it
is as harmless as our common angle
worm. which it much resembles both in
color and bodily structure. Like our
common angleworm. it can only be re-
moved from its burrows with great
difficulty. II portion OF the creatures

Coins of Enormous size.

When the area aud square inches OF
surface are taken into consideration,
the largest coins ever issued by any
government on the globe were those put
into circulation by Sweden during the
sixteenth century These mammoth
pieces are neither round, square, oval
nor octagon in shape, but are great ir'
regular slabs of copper described as
resembling pieces Of boiler after an
explosion The smallest piece issued
under the law which authorized this gi-
gantic coinage was an irregular rectan-
gular slab of about twelve square inch
es of surface and about half an inch
thick. 1t was worth 80 cents. The lar
gest of the same series was about a
foot square and had face value of 81.
Each of these copper slabs Is stamped
in several places on the face. the vari-
Gus inscriptions giving the date. demon
nation, etc The four dollar piece men
toned last above is nearly an inch in
thickness and weighs four pounds, lack
ing a fraction.
