FRENCH LOVE OF DRAMATIC
National Trait illustrated by Story Of
Soldier Who Was Carrying
the Pard ON.

When Marshal MacMahon was
president of the French republic. an
incident occurred which aDtly lius-
trates the French love Of what u
dramatic.
A French soldier sat on the summit
of a hill overlooking a garrison town;
his horse was picketed close by: the
man was smoking leisurely, and from
time to time he glanced from the
esplanade to big official - ..ope he
held IN his hand
A comrade passing by ask What
are you doing here?''
II am bearing the presidents par
don for our friend Flichmann, who Ia
to be shot this morning" replied the
smoker, calmly, without changing his
comfortable attitude.
We'll, then, you should hurry along
with your pardon" admontshed his
comrade,
All, mol" exclaimed the other, IN
some indignation. See, there is hard
ly a soul yet ON the esplanade. and
the firing platoon has not even been
formed. You surely would not have
me rob my appearance Of all dramatic
effect, my friend!"

EASY ONE FOR PROPHET
Congressman Coined Epigram and
Stated Absolute Fact In One
Brief Word.

Congressman Homer Bulb of Ne
vada was famed in his day at Wash.
ington as raconteur and epigram-
nnatist. Whenever he sat down in the
lobby Of the Dingle house, his head,
quarters at the capital, he was sure
to gather about him In no time d group
Of friends and acauaintances and to
convulse them over and over again
with his sallies.
One Of these, the butt of which was
Senator Montgomery Twell. is par
ticularly we'll remembered by the
Dingle's Old Guard.
The senator entered the hotel one
evening, looked long and solemnly at
the skies, which were cloudy, and then
remarked TO Congressman Bulb In a
tone of railery:
Well, Bulb. l know you pride your
self on being a prophet What sort
of day do you think well have to-
morrow"
Wednesday" replied Congressman
Bulb.
Among those who heard him was
Col. Anthony Batherswyck, the civil
war veteran. who lost no time In tell.

OUT OF SCRAPS
Thackeray's Personases Were Patch
works, Seldom to Be Recognized as
Portraits OF Actual Persons.

Thackeray rarely drew an out and
out portrait, though he sometimes ven
tured on recognizable caricature OF
people he detested. In Roundabout
Paper" called DE Finibus" he asserts
that he creates his personages out OF
scraps, heel-taps, odds and ends OF
characters" Lady Anne Thackeray
Richie corroborates this. my father"
she writes In answer to a private re-
quest for information, scarcely ever
put real characters into his books,
though he, of course, found sugges'
tons among the people with whom ne
was thrown. have always thought
there was something of himself as
Warrington. Perhaps the serious part
of his nature was vaguely drawn In
that character. There was also little
likeness to his friend, Edward Fitz-
gerald, who always lived very soil
tary life"
Warrington, indeed, may be taken
as typical instance Of how Thackeray
made up his own personages out OF
"odds and ends Of characters. In the
circumstances of his life Fitzgerald
was the closest of all prototypes that
have been suggested. Like Warning
ton, he had married beneath him.
though not so far beneath as Warning
ton; he had found bis wife utterly I'M
congenial and had left her in comfort
| able circumstances to make his own
way In London In poverty and OBJ
security. To add the final touch OF
pathos, Thackeray painted Warning
| toms abandoned wife as bad woman.
which Mrs. Fitzgerald was not, but
only very foolish and snobbish one.
Besides the originals already sug-
gested, James T. Field hints at q
fourth in Barry Cornwall, and Gen.
James Grant Wilson says Thackeray
told a Philadelphia that Warrington
was an English professor of Latin
William s. Walsh, in Columbian.

HOW PAPER CAME TO BE
A WASH In a Garden Was Inspiration
to Nipponese who Could Grasp
Opportunity.

Long years a-o q Japanese walked
through his pretty garden to his home'
mis- hands were clasped behind his
back and he was thinking as he cross
ed the bridge to pluck fresh wiste-
ria blossom that hung just over his
head. This little gentleman had .
great many parcels to send out rom
his shop every week. and he had al
ways wrapped them In silk: but this
was expensive material and he need
ed something cheaper for his purpose
All at once a wasp came fitting to
ward him, but he thrust 1t away that
1t might not nip his nose, and 10!
there at his hand was q wasp's nest!
It was made of thin wood pulp. soft
ened into thin paste by the jaws OF
the insect. then formed and lett
to dry.
why can't do that same thfng?'
thought the japanese merchant. Get
certain wood, form 1t into q pulp by
means of water from the river and
make something like this wasp's nest
in consistency to wrap about my pack
ages, So this was the way paper was
first discovered: A wasp few across

Mechanical Lightning Calculator.
The clerical STATS of many Of thu
big insurance companies have Of late
years been considerably reduced by
the employment Of mechanical calcu-
iators.
One of these, the invention of a Ger
man, is a compact little affair resemb-
ling a music box. 1t may be made to
perform almost instantaneously the
most portentous sums in addition
subtraction, multiplication by one or
two factors, division, gquaring and
cubing. It is required. for instance, to
multiply 531, 975 by 924. The first
factor Is set by touching little knobs
representing 531,S75.
To multiply by the other factor you
turn a handle four times, push a long
slide one place and turn the handle
twice, then push the slide another
place onward and turn the handle nine
times. The long multiplication is now
done without the possibility Of error
SO far as the machine is concerned
