WHY SILHOUETTE.
A Curious Bit CT History Wrapped
Up In the Word


Up In the Word.
The making of Silhouettes can hard
Iy be cIassed among the lost arts, since
there Is so little art about them. The
best of them represent the human pro
file In a crude way, and they were re-
garded as rather a cheap kind of pic
lures even in the days when they were
most popular Indeed, the very word
silhouette means something poor and
cheap, and it had its origin III a spirit
of ridicule. 1t is taken from Etienne
de Silhouette, who was Il French cab
met minister in the year 1859, when
the treasury of France was very low
because of costly wars with Britain
and Prussia and by the eXtravagances
of the government When Etienne de
Silhouette became minister of finance
he set about making great reforms In
the public expenditures. He was by
nature very 'clOse" man, and he
went to such extremes in keeping
down the public expenses that he
brought great ridicule upon himself,
and finally anything that was cheap
and poor was referred to as Ia Sill.
houette.
A very crude picture vas popular at
that time. 1t was made by tracing the
shadow or profile of n face projected
by the light Of a candle on a sheet OF
white paper and the outline defined
with a pencil. This was such a very
poor and cheap sort of picture that
It was at once called a silhouette IN
further derision Of the very saving
French minister. and the name has
"stuck." 1t is an instance Of the curl
Gus derivation of some words in COM
mon use, and this unkind slur on
man who was really trying to intro
duce needed reforms in the spending
of the public money has long been ac
cepted as n good and proper word. In
deed, there is no other word used for
pictures of this kind, although there
were such pictures long before NJ. Ell
enne de Silhouette had his name at

Not a Hundred Persons Affected by
Change of Administration.
"All told, the government of Eng
land consists Of only forty-slx persons,
and the transfer Of political control
from one party TO another directly af-
fects only these forty-six persons and
q few great functionaries Of state
whose duties are purely ornamental"
saws A. Maurice Low In Appleton's.
ain all not 100 persons are concerned
by a change of administration. Post
masters, government employees Of eY-
cry class, from messengers to amDas-
sadors and colonial administrators, are
not disturbed by the transfer of power.
Clearly no political party in England
can count upon patronage as politi-
cal asset.
"The principle on which the parlia-
mentary system Of England Is found
ed is the rule of the majority, and the
majority elects to surrender its power
to one man-the premier. The power
Of the majority is SO strictly recog-
nIzed that the rules Of the house Of
commons deprive the minority Of all
power to initiate or shape legislation.
When a majority of the electorate of
the kingdom has sanctioned a policy
represented by a political party that
party is given free hand to put Its pol
Icy into operation. In all, legislatures
the power of the majority Is the con-
troll which it exercises to tax the peo-
pie and spend their money. See, then,

SHELLS THAT SWIM.
These Peculiar Fish Are Mostly Con-

The idea of shells being found any
where else except upon the Seabeach

Yet the naturalist who purSues his

does collect shells by the thousand at

fish are mostly very small. In the In

Almost all are most brilliant in color
and their shells far Trailer and more

Origin of the French Title as Applied
to a Fine Cook.

The Order Of the ST Esprit was Gre
ated in 1887, was suppressed by the
revolution and was revived by Louis
XVIII in 1914. To speak rightly, Louis
XVIII considered that the order had
never ceased to exist, for he had given
two collars during his exile, In 1910,
the one to Fpncis L., king Of the two
Sicilies, and the other to his brother,
the Prince of Salerno the father of his
brothers wife, the Duchess d'Aumale.
The ribbon of this order was II light
blue color. 1t was worn around the
neck in the reigns of Henry III. and

NV, when il was worn across the
