which distinguishes the initiated and

have some bisque tortoni, a sultana

The waiter gasped. He started to

ices, boiled potatoes and a piece of
cheese. But she ate it as if she had
been used to that sort of diet all her

Rough Riding.
From the Boston Herald.


In the early days of travelling by stage
coach across the Rocky mountains the
trip was likely to be relieved Of monotony
by incidents of no ordinary occurrence.
But the fatigue of the journey was apt
to wear upon the nerves of the weak and
the timid. Sometimes the passengers be-
came SO worn out as to lead to a sus-
picion of their sanity. The Rt Rev. d.
s. futile, in his "Reminiscences of a Mis-
sionary Bishop describes an instance in
point.
One forenoon the coach rolled into Den
yer and the six horses came prancing up
to the office of Wells, Fargo & Com
pany. A large crowd was assembled, as
the incoming and the outgoing Of the
daily coaches were the great events for
the town.
At the top. the only passenger quickly
threw open the coach door. leaped to the
ground, ran hurriedly across the street,
and, turning a handspring, stood on his
head with his heels up against sup
porting wall.
Several men followed him, quite sure
that here was another passenger crazed
by the long. sleepless ride. One said to
him, IN a tone of sympathy, why, cap'n.
what's the matter?"
Slowly coming to a right side-up pos
ture, the man answered, We'll, nv
friend. I'll tell You what it is. This
standing on my head is the only position
which ] haven't been in during the last
twenty-four hours IN yonder coach, and
wanted to make the thing harmonious
and complete all around.

FORBIDS SHELLAC COATING.
Cannot Be Used in the Manufactur,
of Chocolates.

After considering the plea for the use
Of shellac as a coating for chocolates
made by the chocolate manufacturers.
the board Of food and drug inspection of
the Department OF Agriculture has is
sued decision prohibiting the use of
shellac as chocolate coating.
The board held a session on the SUBJ
ject several weeks ago, at which there
appeared large number Of chocolate
manufacturers. who presented evidence
which, they said, showed the chemical
composition of shellac was entirely
harmless. and that it's use in chocolate
making was necessary.
The board. in it's decision issued yes
terday, says the use of shellac conceals
inferiOrity, and tends to the longer
keeping OF chocolate, which is not de-
Sfrable. 1t says also that the use of
shellac incorporates with the chocolate
a certain amount of alcohol, which is
directly prohibited by law.

Shakespeare's French Lodgings.

Henry K. Pioneer, In the Athenaeum.
Prof. Wallace's article on Shakespeare
in the current number of Harper's has
probably set a good many people wonuer-
ing how Shakespeare, typical Englishman
as he was. came to settle in London with
French family. Yet, SO far from being
an extraordinary incident to those who
know his history, 1t was the most natural
thing for him to do. In all probability
he took UP his residence with the Mount
joys when he first came to London; uut
to go no further back than the evidence
warrants. he had known them for thir-
teen yearS-that Is, since 1891.
At that time Shakespeare numbered
among his friends in London his fellow
tOwnsman Richard Field, the printer, who
in 1879 had left Standardization and
coming to London had put himself ap-
prentice to Thomas Vautrolier, printer
In Blackfriars, to learn the art of print
ing. Thomas Fautrollier and his wife,
ike Christopher Mountjoy and his wife,
were French HuEuenOt refugees. and we
may well believe that the members of the
French colony within the walls of the
city at that time were more or less ac-
quainted with one another. Their COM
mon meeting place was the Dutch
Church in Austin Friars, and there Is
little doubt that the Vautrolliers were ac-
Quainted with the family in Silver street
Thomas Vautrollier died about the lat
ter end Of the year 1856 or the beginning
of 1887. and Richard Field, then newly
made a freeman of the StatiOners Com
pany. taking his fortune in both hands,
within a few months married widow,
and thus at one stroke became a master
printer and the pOssessor of good BUSH
ness. Shakespeare and Field being old
acquaintance, what is more natural than
that Shakespeare should mention to Field
his desire to find new lodgings, and that
Field in his turn should talk the matter
over with his wife, and that she. knowing
that the Mountjoys had rooms to let,
should have been the means of intro
ducing Shakespeare to them?
In the absence of actual proof of what
took place, l venture to offer this theory
as to how Shakespeare comes to be
found living in the house of a French
HuguenOt refugee.
