expresses wonder that the women are
so rarely burned to death.

composed Of four or FIVE layers OF
dried leaves and strips OF bast and are
so roluminous and distended that they
stand out all around the body, outriVai'

when Sitting down the women are sur
rounded by mound Of veritable tin
der. In the second place, they are for
ever striking matches to light their
cigarettes; nay, worse even, they carry
about with them, for the sake OF econ

and neither to matches nor husk DO
they give the slightest heed, striking

Use Short Words.

Literary aspirants should religiously
cschew polysyllabic photography. The
philosophical and pathological substitute
turc of this principle is ineluctable.
Excessively atsenuated verbal SYM
boIs inevitably induce unnecessary
complexity and consequently exaGges-
ate the obfuScation OF the mentality OF
the pcruScr Conversely, expressions
which are reduced to the Furthermore
minimum of simpllfcation and COM
pactness. besides contributing realistic
ycrisimilItude, constitute much less
onerous handicap to the readers per-
spIcacity.
Observe, for instance, the unmlstak-
able and lLescapable expressiveness or
onomatopoctic. interiectional. mono-
syllable uttcrsnces, especially when
motivated under strenuous emotional
circumstances. How much more ap-
healing is their euphonious pulchritude
than the preposterous and pretentious
pomposity OF elongated verbiage.-Life.

Tho Assembly Of Notables.

The assembly Of the notables at YER
sailies. Nov. 5. 1TSS, will ever stand
as one of the great landmarks in hu-
man progress, not on account Of itself,
but in consequence OF what 1t led to.
Louis XVI, being In great financial
straits, had already called together the
big men OF his realm, but it IS with
this second meeting Of the great ones
that history will ever be the most pro-
foundly concerned The "notables,"
made up Of the nobility and aristoc-
racy Of the realm. listened to their own
voices aud displayed their gold lace
and vanity for something over q
month and adjourned without doing
anything either for the king or the peo-
ple. Disguised with the stupidity and
Indifference Of the notables, Louis con.
yoked the states general. which was
composed OF representatives of the no.
bility, clergy and third estate, or plain
peoplc. Maddened by the contenptu-
GUS treatment they received 1T the
hands Of mobiles, the delegates OF the
third estate organized themselves into
The national assembly, which in turn
organized the revolution.-NeW York

book Il Myself" He was az dinner
one night with IN N. T., whose VIE

pet. "You are quite right" he said,
blithely getting up; sit is bad car
net, and Will order my firm to SEND
you another In It's place" And then
he calmly resumed his political con-
versation, and the dinner went on.

Louis XVIII. When he was minister
OF foreign affairs courier came to
him one evening bearing unpleasant
news, and he therefore postponed the
communication Of it TO the king till
next morning, when he explained that
he was afraid the tidings might have

king replied: Nothing disturbs my
sleep. rs you may see from this In
stance. The most dreadful blow or
my life was my brothers. death. The

news arrived at s o'clock in the even

4 playwright in an interview in New

could rarely be attained.

this grand virtue OF attention to de-
