THEY GAVE THE BALLS.
And the People Danced to Pay the
Debts of Louis XIV,


In 1712 Louis XIV. favored the
opera, then established in the first
sale of the Palais Royal (there have
been two), with special mansion for
the better accommodation of its ad-
ministration, archives and rehearsals.
This hotel is situated in the Rue
Nicaise. The building was generally
designated under the name of Maga-
sia, whence the term Files du Maga-
sin mot de magasin), which was applied
not only TO the female choristers and
supers, but to the female dancers them
selves. 1t SO happened that the king
forgot to pay his architects and work
men. In order to satisfy them the
Chevalicr de Bouillon conceived the
idea of giving balls in the opera
house, for which idea he received an
annual pension of 6,OOO francs. He
was paid, but the kings debtors were
not, for, although the letters patent
were granted somewhere about the
beginning of 1713, not a single ball
had been given when the most mag
nificent of the Bourbon sovereigns de-
sccnded to his grave

answer. "Those. people must be paid,

stone Throwing,

A propensity to throw stones regard

fined to their proper and legitimate
uses.

this Vicious and execrable habit looms
up into serious proportions when the

its excessive use increases the risks OF

arrangements OF that organ. These

hung on a nail by the chimney, but this
is exactly what many people expect Of
their lungs, which are really only the
bellows given US by which to keep the
fire OF life burning bright and clear

1t is not too much to assert that lungs
properly used in a comparatively close
room will do more good than lazy lungs
in an open Geld. This trick of lazy
lungs is habit, like any other, and
may be overcome by persistent effort
Many persons. for example, are afl.ict-

breath unconsoiously. These are the
people who. in spite of plenty Of time
spent out OF doors, yet catch cold east
ly, digest poorly and are always more

heaps again or fetch fresh ammunition

comes, the two bodies meet, fierce rush

knives and clubs are freely used. The
clash Of weapons. the screams of the
