The passing away of Honore Cham Dion has recalled the days when for several weeks this we1l-known book seller entertained unawares the Elm press of Russia Day by day he showed her majesty the libraries and
 museums of Paris, calling her Made n1ofse1Ee Hesse. She concealed her Identity from her guide until the last. planning however to surprise him when the oppertune moment came.
 M- Champion was one of the last Representatives of the old school of French bocksel1ers. He began his career ait a time when the seller of books, instead of being in maze of wholesale and retail discounts, de luxe editions fine binding, and eagerness to bring out 8 ''best-sellers" was to a great degree the collaborator and friend of his clients, and it was almost as a colleague that Champion wes treated by the ph11o1og1sts and mem bers of the Academy of Inscriptions and Bellies Lettres, who met every F'ri-. day after the session of the Academy in his store on the Qua1 Malaquais The late Duke a d'Aunale in particular had a very high opinion of the knowl- edge and character of Honore Cham pfon. and never missed an opportun- ity of showing his esteem. One day he sent for him and said:
 Champion a young lady of very high family is coming to Paris short ly. and she wishes to have someone guide her to the museums, libraries and collections. Her name is Made

 Champion readily agreed, and he ptloted tho mysterious young woman for several weeks until she left after thanking him very warmly.

NEWTOWN

Newtown, May 1o-The sad intelli- gence of the death of Charles Howard Husband, the son of Mrs. Harriet Beers Husband, which occurred Thurs day at their home in New York, cast a gloom over the village of Sandy Hook, as the young man spent his in- fancy and youth there, and has many relatives and friends who cherish his memory.

Your Friend, the Mirror
BY BLANCHE BEACON

Next to her mother a mirror is a woman's best friend.
 It will tell her the truth always and will help her to rectify any faults in her appearance if she will only heed it's advice
 am quite sure that only about four out of every ten women ask their mir TOTS if their back hair is properly com bed and you can pick out these four immediately whenever you are in 8 crowd of women.
 A woman will powder her face care fully and even brush her eyebrows, as we'll as her teeth, but will forget to use her hand-g1ass and look to see the back of her hair, and the conse- quence is that her hair is often scrag- g1ey and sometimes worse than this. her neck shows soil and her collar is badly pinned together.
 Her friend, the mirror. would have told her all this and she could have made herself clean. sweet and pre- sentab1e before braving the scrutiny the question of it.
 Did you ever notice that when you look in the glass, no matter how sor- rowful and tired is your reflection at first glance, it immediately smiles at you? You do this unconsciously, simply because you want to look your best and a smiling face is the best looking face always. Here again your mirror is your best friend. for the mere physical act of smiling will change your thoughts and you cannot help but be happier. The joy and smile rule can be worked both ways A great many people will say to you that if you are happy youE can't help smiling, but I have a theory that if you smile you are on the road to happiness.

VAST AMusEn1ENT RECEIPTS.

Statistics just published show that in the year 1912 the receipts of the various places of amusement in Paris amounted to over $13,0Oo, 900 az against $11,5Oo,ooo for 1911
 The constant opening up of new ways to spend money for relaxation seems to have no effect on the in crease of receipts. The moving pie ture theatres evidence this To-day they are counted by the hundreds in Paris. and one of them shows total receipts for the year amounting to $500. O00
 The largest receipts of any place are taken by the Opera. $s0O, ,000 This is explained by the fact that more for eign visitors go to the Opera than any other theatre, so that 1t maintains a fairly average audience at all seasons of the year.

Paris. May 10.-With the death of Jean Constans, formerly am nbassador of France at Constantinoples a pie turesQue figure disappears from the political and diplomatic world
 He is perhaps best remembered as the minister whose uncompromising g attitude had so much to do with fore ing General BouIanger to flee from Paris early in 1889 and spent the re- mai uder of his life in exile. M. Con stang strong personality stood out in bold relief against the elegant siIhou- sites of his attaches, but under his ~sxouS exterior Iurked a refined and aCuSe mind. He was Minister of the Interior throughout the troublous BouIanger epoch. coming in for a large share of the obIoquy heaped on the Government by the inpassioned supporters of the General. This, however. left him quite unperturbed, and he accepted his successes with the same spirit of calm On the Hateful 2Sth of January General Boulanger had hardly finished buckling his valise when a zealous detective rushed breathless to the Ministry of the In terdor. Although 1t was one o'clock in the morning, the official insisted on the minister being awakened and, when he appeared, blurted out breath 1essly:
