A Wise Critic.

Francisque Sarcey was for forty
years a figure of great prominence in
French literary life. AS a critic of the
drama he was looked upon as one hay
ing authority, and praise from him
meant success to the struggling play
wright.
His criticisms were honest. fearless
and Independent, and it is remembered
of him that he refused the honor Of
belonging to the French academy lest
he should como under obligation to ia
vor the plays written by other mem
bers,
Sarcey's good sense was often put to
the test. One day a friend came rush
ing into his room waving u paper.

critic.
Here's some one" cried the other,
who has been calling you an 'imbe-
Gle in print. Are you going to chal-
lengc him?'
Sarcey smiled. Certainly not" he
replied. Il owe hirl my thanks. The
public will Don forget the word i'm
beetle and will only remember having
read my name"

How His Place Was Filled.

A well known divine whose theolog-
ical discourses draw crowded houses
in all the principal cities accepted an
invitation to lecture in a small provin-
cial town, but discovered afterward
that he had Il prior engagement on the
same date. lie accordingly apologized
and offered to make good any loss the
society might incur through his delin-
quency.
\ few days later he received a letter
from the secretary assuring him that
no harm was done and inclosing a
handful which the divine is never
tired of reading to his amused friends.
"As the Rev. Mr.. - is unable to
give his advertised lecture on Con
science" announced the bill. -four
members of the B minstrel troupe
have kindly volunteered to perform in
stead a ~screamingly laughable farce
entitled - Any person who has
bought a ticket for the other enter
tainment may have it transferred to

His Good Eye.

It is a curious fact that the loss of
any one of the five senses is atoned for
TO a considerable extent by a pro-
nounced increase in the efficiency OF
the other senses. The result is some
times astonishing.
4. man who had lost the sight OF
both eyes trained his hearing until he
could tell by the sound of his footsteps
on the sidewalks as he made his way
about town whether he was in the
middle of the walk or at one side,
whether he was walking past a brick
or a frame house or a fence or open
ground.
He knew in what part of the town
he was not only by his memory or
sense of general direction, but by the
difference in the tones" of his foot
steps, and he walked about freely, sell
dom running into anything or any
body.
Some one in his presence once called
in question his total blindness.
(Which eye do you think l can see
with?" he asked the skeptic.
"The left one, of course" was the
reply. 81 can see that the right one is
blind"
In reply the blind man merely
opened his penknife and tapped the
left eye with the little blade.

She c.,nouered the Germans.

In the Franco-German war the
French hospital at Vendome was in
charge of Nine. Coralie Cahen, one of
the most noted nurses of the time.
There. aided by two nurses and seven
Christian Sisters of Mercy, she re
ceived thousands of French and Ger
man soldiers. When the Prussians oc-
cupied VepacG2e they wished to hold
the hospital and plant on it the Ger
man flag. But, warned of the enemy's
intentions, Nine. Cahen early one Jan
uary morning visited the Prussian gen
eral, who, surrounded by his staff. was
about to seize the building.
Sir" she exclaimed, 1--WE have re-
ceived your wounded and nursed them
as though they We're u own. We will
continue to do so, but we will remain
in a French hospital. We will not have
1t converted into Il German hospital"
Madame was the reply, Eve are
masters"
In the town it may be; here, mop
was the answer. 1--WE are protected by
the Red Cross and the French flag.
You have no right to touch either the
Il or the other"
She conquered, and from that day
the utmost admiration was openly
evinced for her by the Germans.

When Exclusives Explode.

A popular notion that explosives viii
go off" by any simple method is
wrong. Many of the most powerful
explosives imaginable may be kicked
about, may be set on fire or may be
shot out of a gun, and unless the prop
er agency for exploding them is m
ployed they will not $50 off, and will
do no damage. The reason for this
may be explained by an Illustration.
Consider a grateful Of coal. There is
there enough of what we may call eX-
plosive energy to throw a LOCO pound
weight through a foot of solid steel
if only it could be liberated. But there
can be no explosion without oxygen,
and the coal in the CRATE will not burn
faster than the supply of oxygen in the
air which reaches it will permit. If
the coal could be furnished all at once
with enough air to cause it's complete
burning, it would explode with as great
violence as if it We're so much dyna-
mite.-St. Nicholas.
