SUCCESSOR TO cooUELIN.
How Lucien Guitry Has Become the
Leader of French Actors.


(H. t, Parker in Boston Transcript)
With the death of the elder Coquelin
the French stage has no actor of the
international celebrity that he won,
and none that is familiar to Americans
at home. 1t is ten years since Mounet-
Sully visited few American cities,
and recollection of him has nearly
vanished. De Max, puissant and vivid
actor as he is, was only Bernhardt's
leading man" when she came last to-
America. Her audiences were concen-
trated upon her; in a measure they
appreciated the general excellence of
the whole performance, but they hard
ly separated De Max's share from the
rest, except at the moments, as in
Fedora" when the violence of his
style impressed them. America aside,
French actors of wide and clear note
outside their own country are few,
in spite of his years, which are now
considerable, Mounet-Sully still makes
occasional visits to the cities of the
provinces or to continental capitals.
LIE Bargy and Feraudy, for comedians,
play now and then outside Paris, and
F'eraudy only last summer went as far

other comedian of rank, has made his
tours, but to no resounding result

the Odeon, he has ceased to act; he

IPittsburg Dispatch.D
One of the oldest Quaker meeting
houses in New Hampshire stands in
Unity township. a remembrance of the
little colony of Friends who lived at
West Unity in the early part of the
last century.
The building, with its single story
and low attic, is as simple and severe
in its architecture as the Quaker
meeting" itself in its form of wor-
ship.
A few years ago there were yet a
number of old Friends who still wor-
shipped twice every week in the little
edifice, taking their pews each time
according to their goodness and
waiting in the solemn silence after
the manner of the orthodox Quaker till
the spirit moved to prayer or exhor-
tation.
Since that time these few remaining
members of the faith have died. To-

Poisons Iona In Use.

Some poisons have been known for
ages. Prussic acid, then called "the
poison of the peach" was used by the
Egyptians before the pyramids were
built. They were the first to distill
the poison from peach pits. Corrosive
sublimate was one Of the favorite
poisons of Charles TX. of France. He
offered large prize for any one who
would find an antidote for 1t. A physi.
clan came to him one day to claim the
reward. The king sent for his cook,
who had burned the meat that day,
and made him take fatal dose of cor
rosive sublimate The antidote was
administered Immediately. but the
cook died, Notwithstanding. The king
had the doctor taken out and hanged.
SO his spirit followed the cooks in
less than quarter Of an hour.

FIRST HAT WORN IN EUROPE
History, Records That II Adorned the
Head Of Charles VII. on His
Entry Into Rouen.

Charles VII. on his triumphal entry
into Rouen in the year 1449, we are
told, astonished the whole city by
appearing in a hat lined with red silk
and surmounted by plume Of feath-
ers. 1t was the first time the citizens
had ever seen a hat
From this entry of Charles into
Rouen the beginning Of the custom of
wearing hats in Europe is dated. 1t
was all very well for the rich citizen
to follow the example Of royalty, but
when the clergy began to sigh for
similar splendor 1t was regarded as a
falling away from grace. Priests or
religious persons were at last forbid
den to appear abroad in anything ex-
cept "chaperons, made of black cloth
with decent coronets."
still more striking development
took place in the sixteenth century.
By the statute of 13 Elizabeth every per
son above the age of seven years, and
under a certain degree, was obliged
on Sundays and holidays to wear a
woollen cap-made in England-and
finished by some Of the fraternity sap

PRISON DOORS NEVER LOCKED
0dd Place for "corfinement" on eark,
One Of the Beautiful Chan
mel Islands.

Sark, the loveliest Of the channel
islands. possesses a quaint old prison
of two cells. more as a matter of form
than Of necessity: for serious crime is
almost unknown in the island, which
has no paid police. but simply an
elected constable. 1t is some years
since the prison was called into requi-
sition, and on the last occasion the
bolt was found to be SO rusty that
it had to be broken before the door
could be opened. The prisoner was
then put in, left all night with the
door open, and made no attempt to
escape.
On another occasion a young English
servant, who had stolen some clothes,
was sentenced to three days impris-
onment. The prospect SO terrified her
that the authorities took pity on her
loneliness and considerably left the
cell open. The little maid sat in the
doorway and was consoled by kind
hearted Sark women, who came to
keep her company.
A still more curious incident is told
of a man who was convicted for
,Rglecting his wife and children. He
8 ordered to betake himself to the
Eson and there wait for the arrival
of the constable. This he did, sitting
outside until the door was opened to
let him in.

The "Mscarcni,"

The "macaroni" were exquisites or fops who in England and France led the fashions from 11S0 to 17S5 and were distinguished by an immense knot of artificial hair worn on the top of their heads. A small cooked hat which perched ridiculously on their topknot. satin or brocade coats and small clothes fitting tightly to the body and silk stockings with ribbon garters composed the costume of these fash ionable gentlemen who invariably car ried a long walking stick with tassels attached and frequently a bouquet tied to the handle and encouraged a mine ing and affected gait and manner. There was during the war for inde- pendence body of Maryland soldiers who on account of their showy uni forms were called "Elacaroni."

THE MILITARY SQUARE.
A Formation Borrowed by Wallace
 From the Jennings.

The greatest of all Scottish annivcr- saries is that of Baunockburn. fought in the year 1314. Apart from it's bear ing on the independence of Scotland. the battle will always have an excep- tional interest from the military point of view, as Bannockburn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. Proud Edwards" army mainly consisted of cavalry, while that of the Scots. on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear, and these Bruce threw into "Schi- troms," or oblong squares, a formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem ings. who had employed it with sue the English cavalry.
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad Knight had carried everything before him. but Courtray and Bannockhurn proved that he was poweress to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in "Schiltrom." or hedgehog. forma- lion. and these two battles revolution ized the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Proftng by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockbnrn. the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crccy and still moro at Agincourt As it was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Bannockburn, so it was they again who at Ralaklava were the first to discard it with their "thin red line and now. owing to our changed conditions of warfare. it is discarded altogether London Chron. if.lp
