Beau RrummeI.

Brummel went to prison for debt
but came out again to resume his fop-
peries His friends made him a small
allowance of f120 per annum, equal at
Caen to E3O0, but he could not be ex-
pected to live on such a pittance
When he had not 4 francs In the
world he would order boot polish at
francs a bottle from Paris and call
the tradesman who supplied 1t "a
scOundrep' for venturing to ask for his
money. In the end his intellect gave
way. He lost his memory and much
of his little mind. He grew slovenly
and careless, yet to the last clung to
his eau de cologne and some other
luxuries. Finally, his mind all gone,
he was removed to charity hospital,
being now reduced to the utmost i'm
poverishment and content to change
his linen once a month instead of three
times a day, as of old. Here he died
under the care Of sisters Of charity
on March 30, 1910. Thus ended the
striking career of perhaps the most
worthless fop whom history records,
his death being fitting termination
to his useless life.

comes genuine old he hen, and will
hover about the nest while the lady is
away for worms for her young. He
