Halevy and the Due de Morny.

It may not be generally known in
what circumstances Halevy owed his
advancement in the French civil serv-
ice to the Due de Morny. The duke, an
amateur Of the arts, had begun to write
the libretto Of a comic opera Of which
Ofenbach was to provide the music.
He found that he had not the time--or
perhaps that he had not the talent--to
finish it. He, sought a collaboration and
Halevy came to the rescue and kept
his secret. When. therefore, the Office
OF the ministry Of Algeria, which he
held, was suppressed he had no hesita.
ton in asking his august patron for the
post which he sought on the Journal
OfacieI. s4The very thingr' exclaimed
the duke. There is six months vaca
ton when the chamber Is not sitting
so that you will have plenty of time
to write for the STAGE And he gave
him note to the head OF the depart
ment, consisting Of the simple words
make arrangements to give the bearer
the post for which he win ask you."-

Mature and the Rarnaels.

In the barnacle we have a unique
and wonderful case of creature that
can afford as age comes on to dispense
with the eyesight that was so useful
in youth. For the young and old
barnacle are as different one from the
other as fishes from seaweed. In the
heyday Of life the barnaele swims
about the sea, seeking Its food with the
aid OF Its eyes and generally leading q
roaming existence. Later in life, how.
ever, it grows tired of this aimless
wandering and settles down to worry
ships captains by attaching itself t.
the keel of their craft and defying the
much advertised powers Of various pre-
ventive paints. Once, then, the barna.
Gle has become fixture, whether or
ships or sharks, its eyesight Is Of nc
more use. 1t cannot seek its food, and
it cannot shun its foes, for 1t never
more will move. Therefore its eyes
become superfuous and, according tt
natures invariable rule in such cases
disappear.

! Eatina Test For Cooks.

In a certain employment agency ten
cooks out Of a job waited one after
noon last week for a situation to turn
up. Presently well gowned woman
who was short Of servants applied at
the desk for the desired help. The
manager referred her to the ten cooks
The woman interviewed each of them
in turn with unsatisfactory results.
mot one of them" she explained to
the manager of the agency, "likes te
eat the things that we like" -
But what difference does that
maker asked the manager. "They are
no doubt good girls for all that"
yet they wouldn't suit me-" the wo
man replied decisively. my family
have very pronounced tastes in cook
cry, and my experience has taught me
that only cook who likes the same
dishes that we like can prepare then
satisfactorily. That is a matter of sim
pie common sense. It stands to reason
that any dish cook likes will tur1
out better than one she doesn't like
consequently 1 will do the work my
self till find a girl whose tastes agre'
with ours. "-Philadelphia Ledger.

His Old coIIeae churs.

A conductor sent new brakeman to
put some tramps off the train. They
were riding in box car. The brake
man dropped into the car and said,
where are you fellows going?' ''To
Atchison." "Well, you can't go to
Atchison on this train, so get off,"
"You get" came the reply, and as the
brakeman was looking into the bust
ness end of a gun he took the advice
given him and got" He went back to
the caboose, and the conductor asked
him If he had put the fellows off.
NO" he answered, 81 did not have
the heart to put them off. They want
to go to Atchison, and. besides, they
are old schoolmates of nine" The
conductor used some very strong Ian
guage and then said he would put
them off himself. He went over to the
car and met with the same experience
as the brakeman. When he got back to
the caboose, the brakeman said, 'Well,
did you put them off ?'' "Naw, they're

How Could She Do it2

The homely forms Of speech used by
the country people with whom little
Edith and her mother boarded last
summer were frequently very puzzling
to the child.
One evening the farmers wife, in
talking for few minutes with Edith's
mother, remarked that, as she was
very tired that night, she would ''go to
roost with the chickens
When Edith's bedtime arrived a lit,
tie later the youngster was nowhere to
be found. After considerable search
she was discovered sitting ON a large
stone near the chicken house, quietly
watching the fowl as they came in one
by one.
Edith" called her mother, "whaI
are you doing there? I've been look
ing for you everywhere; it's time to &c
to bed"
II know, mother" was the reply
"but they're nearly all in now, 80 shell
be here soon, guess"
"Who are in and who will be there:
What on earth are you talking about
child?" asked the mystified mother.
why" explained Edith, rather i'm
patiently, you know Mrs. 49, said she
was going to roost with the chickens
tonight, and I'm waiting to see how
she does it."

Lived to Eiaht Another Day.

Frederick the Great simply lost his
head at Molwitz, his first battle. Had
he not been a king it is safe to say
that he would have, been shot at the
next sunrise. In the heat of the
carnage he got an idea that the army
under his command was being over
whelmed, SO he put the spurs to his
horse and dashed headlorg among his
soldiers. He rode many miles before
he stopped in his wild flight Late al
night he was discovered hiding in an
old mill, awaiting, as he thought, cap
ture by the enemy. Then he discov'
cred that the. army he deserted had
won the battle. AS Frederick was q
prince, everybody tried to forget the
incident just as quickly as possible
and after that, when the king went tt
war, he was just as brave as any 9th
er soldier .y fs...l.-,...

SHE WAS CARELESS.

And So the Careful Husband Decided
to Teach His Wife Lesson.
''My wife has disagreeable habit Of
leaving her pocketbook in exposed
Places" said the man who was telling
the story. Il had cautioned her more
than once that she would lose it If she
wasn't more careful.
81 came downtown with her the other
morning and the first thing she did
after boarding the car was to deposit
her purse upon the car seat, while she
relieved herself Of the terrible sus-
picion that her hat wasn't on straight
A movement Of her arms knocked the
purse on the floor, where it remained
until picked it up.
II rescued that purse no less than
dozen times before we reached the
bargain counter that was the goal Of
my wife's ambition.
"Events around bargain counter
occur with Kaleidoscope swiftness, and
l soon found myself the sole guardian
of my wife's purse. which lay before
me on the counter where 1t had been
deserted by her In mad rush for the
| other end Of the counter. II
| ''To teach her lesson emptied the
contents of the purse in my pocket and
retreated to the edge Of the crowd to
await developments.
ut wasn't long before my wife
crowded her way out, triumphantly
holding aloft a twenty-five cent cream
jug that she had succeeded in buying
| for 40 cents.
"T didn't know that they charged
things here I began feebly. #r
