0 OF HIS FAME.

When a man succeeds in making
a name there is one class that re-
ceives the news with delight, min
gled with no feeling of envy, and
that is his old school fellows. This
is the case with NJ. Jean Aicard, the
eminent writer. His classmates at
the Lycee de Toulon have presented
him with his sword for his reception
among the immortals. The sword is
inclosed in a green sheath of Russia
leather. It rs ornamented with the
"cigale provencale." One ornaments
the pommel, another the guard and
the ccinture Of Russia leather is
-clasped with the same device. Upon
the nacre are the initials of the new
academician and on the sword blade
the flowers of the Midi are depicted
NJ. Poincare, the famous lawyer, was
the recipient Of a sword in similar
circumstances recently. 1t seems
that NJ. Aicard's sword was not of
regulation design, but the academy,
taking the will of the alumni Of
Toulon into consideration, over
looked the mistake.-London Globe.

SEEK SMILES AND DIMPLEs
Women Of To-Day Acquire Thorn by
Means Of Earnest Training
Of Muscles.

In the days Of David Copperfeld's
Dora smiles and dimples were not
regarded as an indication Of great
strength of mind, but under the
rule Of the beauty professor of to-
day the prevailing ideas on this sub
ject must be quite different. Now,
the woman who possesses these
charms may have acquired them
only by the exercise Of a determi-
nation and perseverance worthy Of
the martyrs. The end is not
achieved by passively submitting to
the treatment Of the expert in the
cultivation of feminine beauty, al
though this is an important part Of
the process. To train refractory
muscles to act with unfailing ease
and precision is no light task, but
this is what a woman must under
take If she wishes to acquire dimples,
for they can only be coa1ed into be-
ing, when nature has not supplied
them, by persistent practice before a
mirror under o skilled instructor.
A satisfactory smile may be the re-
suit OF purely mechanical means,
too, but serenity of soul, say the au-
thorities, makes it easier.

RATHER INDEFINITE
Young Englishman In Philadelphia
Had Not the FaIntest Idea Of
His Destination.

A young Englishman, just arrived
in Philadelphia, was taken to see
the sights Of the city by q LADY rela-
tive. Late in the afternoon at the
crossing Of two thoroughfares the
lady, feeling a little undecided as to
the best route to take to a certain
point Of interest, asked the young
man to go and inquire Of one Of the
policemen who regulated the traffic
at this intersection whether the 49,
street cars transferred with the -
avenue cars.
Confused, he pushed through the
crowd and accosted the policeman !:
NO. said the guardian Of the
peace in reply to the young mans
inquiry, and looking down from his
superior height upon n whom he
deemed to be q stranger, alone and
possibly lost in Philadelphia, "the
- street cars don't transfer with
the - avenue, but I guess | can
tell you some other line of arr to
take. Where do you want to go?"
ooh, ah," said the Englishman,
deprecatingly, Il really have not the
faintest idea"
