Avisnon, the City Of Exlled Popes.

cottage Of John Stuart MIL 1t was at
Avignon that the philosopher so
journed after his defeat at the polls
at Westminster. II was there that he
did much Of the writing which has
made his name immortal. There he
spent the happiest seven years OF
his life after his marriage to Mrs.
Taylor, and there he died. The French
people delight to honor true greatness,
and the people Of Avignon are proud
of their city's association with the ser
Of the philosophic historian of India,
the author of 'Utilitarianism."
After Mrs. Mills death Miss Helen
Taylor, her stepdaughter, was Mills
constant companion at Avignon. There
the philosopher wrote to his friends

PoLITENEss OUT OF PLACE
Old Lawyer Did Not Want His Client
to Think He Could Get
Free Advice.

Politeness is politeness, but bust
ness is just business. One of the
clerks of the supreme court tried to
combine the two the other day, but
hereafter he is going to attend strict
ly to business. He was anxious Ito
destroy the common belief of many
persons who visit the New York coun-
ty courthouse that little courtesy is
shown by the attaches to those seek
ing information. The clerk was stand
ing in the corridor on the second floor
when two men came along, one of
them gray haired. The younger one
asked the elder the way out of the
building The clerk heard the query
and at once told the questioner sew
eral ways he could get out The older
man turned on the clerk with the in
junction to mind his own business,
adding that he had been in the build
ing before the clerk was born and
could himself answer his companion.
A little later the old man looked up
the clerk and apologized, explaining
that the man who wanted to know
how to get out of the building was
his client and that he did not want
him to get, the idea that he could re-
ceive free advice. IF he gets that
notion" said the old practitioner. I'm

Merchant Told Of the Strong Attach
ment Of King Edward for
John Bright.

An interesting account is given for
the first time of an incident which
began the friendship that existed be-
tween John Bright and King Edward
VII. The story was told by Mr.. Bright
In the hearing of Mr. Connah, mer-
chant In Manchester Mr. Bright, it
seems, had, at meeting in st. James
nall, rebuked those people who we're
criticising Queen Victoria for her rare
appearances at public functions after
the passing away of the prince con-
sort. On the following morning the
private secretary of King Edward
(then Prince of Wales) called upon
Mr.. Bright with special request from
the prince to call upon him at MARI
borough house. Mr.. Bright at first
demurred, but yielding to the pleading
OF the messenger, he went, and he
was received in the most friendly
manner by the prince and introduced
to the family circle. The prince took
Mr.. Bright aside and as a son thanked
him for his kindly words on behalf
OF the mourning queen, and asked to
be granted the privilege Of beng
counted among the tribune's friends.
Whatever may be my personal opin-
ion Of kings and princes" Bright said,
concluding his narration of the incl
dent, the man before me was a son
making an appeal on behalf of his
mother. and could not resist it. We
shook hands, and have been close
friends ever since. Christian Sci

japanese Fruit Trees.

Among the many ways of their own
that the Japanese have for doing is
their system of pruning and training
fruit trees The system is called
"tana." and consists in training the
branches overhead on trellis work
made Of bamboo or wire supported on
wooden posts about FIVE and a half
feet high.
This offers advantages In gathering
the fruit. and not only serves to pro-
tect the trees against wind and
storms. but is said to increase pro-

done. and that usually In the winter

time In 35 years, Jesse Pomeroy,

the Iron Mask has spoken to any
one from the outside world, save his
keeper and his aged mother. Calmly
and with no touch of rancor this man,
doomed to spend his life In the
strictest solitary confinement. told
members of the first legislative COM
mittee that ever visited him, that he
has at last become resigned to his
fate.
According to the committee mem
bers, Pomeroy seemed both physical
ly and mentally healthy, and spoke
as man of education and refinement,
giving no hint of the impulse that
caused him when IA years old to
butcher a playmate. Ground glass
windows prevent Pomeroy from gaz-
ing on the outer world.
Asked II he minded the solitude,
Pomeroy said:
"Yes, but appreciate the little
liberty I have. The bright spots in
my life are the visits of my mother.
She Is the only person I am permit
ted to see, you know. The prison has
become my life and have become
used to II. l feel have recovered

dangerous, and would be glad IL the
legislature would make 1t possible for
me to have q little more freedom In

II am sorry, but the legislature
cannot aid you," said the chairman of
the committee.
The shutter in the cell door was
dropped and with a sigh of resigna.
ton, Pomeroy dropped back into the
solitude from which he will probab-
ly never again emerge.
