HISTORIC NoTRE DAME.
checkered Career of the Wonderful
Partisan Cathedral.


Some account of the history and
vicissitudes of Notre Dame appears in
the London Strand Magazine. The
first cathedral was erected in the year
52S by ChiIdebert and afterwam de
moiished, the same site being used for
the present building, which was begun
in 1853 and finished in 1851.
Alexander III. laid the foundation
stone, the first mass being celebrated
by the patriarch HeracIius. The grand
old building has been sorely beset by
many dangers and has witnessed many
strange and stirring scenes.
The reign of terror in 1893 led to
such disgraceful orgies within the pre-
cincts Of the cathedral that it was
closed to the public as place of di-
vine worship in 1894, but was reopen
ed in 1902 by Napoleon. The interior
has suffered severely at times at the
hands of the mob and individuals
The worst offender was perhaps Louis
XIV, who. carrying out his fathers
VOW, caused the destruction of the
fourteenth century stalls, the high al
tar embeIlished with gold and silver
statnettes, the cloisters, tombs and
unique stained glasswork. In 1876
restoration was necessary in many
parts of the building, the work being
successfully undertaken by Lassus.
Violet lie Due and Boeswillwald.
In 1871, also during the commune,
Notre Dame was menaced with grave
dangers owing to the fury of the
communists, who, having effected an
entrance, collected all the available
chairs and other combustible material
and, piling them in bonfire, drench-
ed with oil in the center of the choir,
attempted to destroy the cathedral
by fire The evil designs of the. in
cendiaries were, however, happily
frustrated by the arrival of the ma

A CURIOUS LOVE SCENE.

Rochefort Sprang a Surprise on the
Troubled Couple.
Rochefort could be very democratic
on occasions. l remember an amusing
incident which occurred when Roche
fort was in London. His French cham
bermaid fell in love with his English
coachman, and they were engaged to
be married. John, who never spoke Of
Rochefort otherwise than as the mar
quee," gloomily informed Charlotte
that their project must be kept pro-
found secret, for it was custom in
aristocratic houses in London that
when servants in the same household
became engaged to be married they
were promptly dismissed. Charlotte
could hardly believe this, but John as
sured her that it was so.
At last Charlotte took her courage in
two hands and, dragging the trem bling
John behind her, advanced into the
awesome presence of ''the marquee"
while he was taking coffee after lunch
I was present and witnessed the scene.

Splendid Outlook
For Good Crops

The present outlook for good crop
during the approaching season is
very encouring to the farmers OF
Carson Valley. The snow fall thus
is believed to be sufficient to furnish
an ample supply of water for next
summers use. The heavy wind
that followed the storm, drifted the
snow in the canyons to great depth
and placed it where it will do the
greatest amount of good.
The sheepmen and stocklnen are
of the opinion that the mountain
ranges will be rich with feed this
summer and are jubilant over the
prospects of an unusually good year.
More storms are to come during
February, according to the pre-
dictions of the best weather sharps,
and the uneasiness felt by the farm
ers some weeks ago, has been turn
ed Ia a feeling of assurance of a
most successful season.
