THE BASTILLE.
Men and Methods In the Famous Old
French Prison.

Men and Methods In the Famous Old
French Prison.
The Bastille as prison was appar-
emily better kept and cleaner than
either Bicetre or the Chatelet, and i'm
prisonment within its walls did not, it
would seem, dishonor the prisoner or
his family. A great many prisoners
were charged as mad. and under this
elastic term the violent maniac, the
ambitious mailman, the young spend
thrift, the megalomaniac, the reacher
for the philosophers stone or the Sc
cret of perpetual motion - all these
tiresome persons might be and were
included.
How, then. did these prisoners live?
In the underground cells or dungeons,
as in the cells in the towers, the prison
ers were on bread and water. as rule,
In the other rooms in the main build
ing three meals were served day, with
drinkable wine-"vin potable" In GER
tain cases, according to the quality
and distinction of the prisoner, he
might supplement the meager furni-
ture Of his prison and get a provision
of books. Very favored persons were
allowed their own servant If he would
consent voluntarily to undergo con-
finement. Voltaire began to write the
''Henriade" as prisoner in the Bastille;
Able Morellet of the Encyclopedia
speaks of the great fortress as the
cradle Of his fame, but we must re-
member that it was perhaps not ad-
vfsable to say much about the Bastille
when you were still living within its
walls and that, as NJ. NOUN has re-
minded US, "the old Spartans offered
sacrifices to fear Prisoners, more
over, had to sign on their release an
elaborate declaration by which they
swore never to divulge, directly or in
directly, anything they might have
learned as prisoners concerning the
Bastille.-Mrs. Frederic Harrison in
Nineteenth Century.

HUMBLED THE PRINCESS.
Fall Of a Dusky Beauty From the
South Sea Islands.

All OF q OuSky peGutJ from inc
South Sea Islands.
One night John Sharp Williams,
while a student at Heidelberg, Ger
many, was IN attendance upon a swell
function at which the guest of honor
was a dark skinned princess alleged
to hail from one of the south sea is
lands. This princess was magnificent
ly bedecked and bejeweled, and her
warm olive complexion, set off by
mass of black, kinky hair, full red
lips, snow white teeth and black,
sparkling eyes, made her the center
of the function. The masculine-like
Germans swarmed about her like bees
around a honeysuckle vine, and even
Dutch femininity could not discount
the charm of her manner or the beauty
of her person.
John Sharp was introduced, of
course, and Immediately upon obtain
ing a near view of the princess (?) his
southern instincts rose to the surface
and his southern blood began to boil
Watching his opportunity, he managed
to get to the beauty's elbow. Then. re-
ducing his voice to low, but perfect
ly audible key, he sent into her star
tied ears this alarming query:
Look here, niger, where did you
come from?
Panic stricken and with all her self
possession scattered, the alleged prin-
cess turned upon her interrogation as
she heard the familiar intonation of
the southerner and looked into his I'M
relenting face. Then she stammered:
FUN South Caroliny. boss, but for
de Lawd's sake don't tell it,
Whether John Sharp respected the
pitiful plea of southern negress in
faraway land and permitted her to
continue her bold imposition upon the
credulous Germans the story does not
tell. But the fact remains that the
princess" realized that she was in the
presence Of one who. from intimate
knowledge of her race, had OWNED
her African origin, and she could only
throw herself on his mercy.-Biloxi

Various Things to Remember.

When selecting the goods for your
business or street shirt waist, remem-
Der that 1t is the color note that is the
novelty. The colored stripe, both in
linen and lawn, is extremely fashion
able, especially when the stripe is of
brown, porcelain or navy blue and Law
ender. Remember when planning your
waists that simple styles are the smart
est. Even the lingerie waist that
reached the height of elaborateness is
now seen in the plain tailored style.
The one side frill is a favorite form of
trimming and is made so that it can
be buttoned into the waist.
