To Pull Down Prison.

The prison of St. LaZare is going to
be pulled down and rebuilt, and with
it will disappear curious little relic
of old Paris, tiny shop in which the
last public letter writer in France
piled his trade. In olden times, be-
fore education had become general
the public letter writer did thriving
trade and the one just outside st.
Lazare had many customers Of note.
Among them was, If rumor and the
present proprietor of the little shop
may be believed, the world famous
Manon Lascaut, who dictated her love
letters to Des Grieux there, where the
only customers now are illiterate ser
want girls, who write home to their
friends in Brittany. So rare has the
necessity for vicarious letter writing
become that the present proprietor Of
the place has added another more
profitable trade to his program and
acts as an informal lawyer and man
of business to many of the prisoners
in St. LaZare.-Paris correspondence

FOUND A USE FOR THE STOVE
French Physician Probably Made Pres
ent of "Pernicious Object to His
Mother-in-laW.

A French physician called on one
of his patients-a lady-Who was com
planning of headache and general
prostration.
III tell you what's the matter
with you, madam" he said, promptly;
its that stove you have over there.
Those coal burning stoves are reser-
voirs of poison-the deadliest things
in the world
But that stove cost me one hun
dred francs!" protested the lady.
Never mind that Better lose any
amount of money than your life. I'll
tell you what II do; Ill give you
twenty-five francs for it, and find
some way of getting rid of the PERM
cious object"
The lady consented, and the doctor
removed the stove.
A few days later, the patient, who
thought of changing her residence,
went out to inspect suite of rooms,
and the first thing that met her gaze
was the stove.
who lives here?" she asked of the
servant who was showing her over
the rooms.
Madame A., madame" said the ser
want pectfully-"Doctor BIS moth

Troubles.

The family had not had their phone
very long and took a great interest in
it. On the outside of the telephone
directory they had seen the words,
Trouble, Call No. 4217." 1t had been
hard morning and everything had
gone wrong when the lady of the
house happened to think of the tele-
phone, and called 4217 and asked:
rs this where you report trouble?"
Yes"
We'll, l only wanted to report that
our cat got drowned in the cistern
this morning; the baby is cutting a
new tooth; the cook left suddenly;
we are all out of sugar and starch;
the stove pipe fell down; the milkman
left only pint instead of a quart to-
day; the bread won't raise; my oldest
child is coming down with the meas
les; the plumbing in the cellar leaks;
we have only enough coal to last
through tomorrow; | ran out of paint
when l got only half over the dining
room floor; the handspring Of the
clock is broken; my husbands three
sisters are coming to visit us tomor-
row; the man has not called for the
garbage for two weeks; our dog has
got fleas; the looking glass fell off the
wall today and broke all to pieces, and
l think my husband is taking consid-
cradle notice of widow lady that
lives next door. That's all today, and
if ANYTHING else happens I'll call you
up later"

Priscilla, it seemed, had decreed
that he was to appear as the Knave

After awhile, when conversation Ian

Neal shook his head. mo, let us

she came to be selling sugar hearts

He Whirled her away in an enchant-

But the sugar hearts had served
their humble purpose-that of making
two people happy.

Citv of PHILOSOPHERS.

Lichfield, which has just lost her
bishop, never possessed more pa
triotic son than that stalWart church

London Westminster Gazette. He de-
clared that his fellow citizens spoke
the purest English, brewed the best
beer, baked the finest oat cakes, and

Candle Tricks,

Children and even grownups enjoy
-after-dinner tricks and l give these
inst as they came to me. They are all
to be performed with candles. l have
not had time to try them. Perhaps
some of you will be kind enough to
write me if they are any good. You
could use them as an adjunct to
bazar, performing them in a separate
booth with curtains hung at the door
to give an air of mystery, and charge
a penny to get in. Of course, this is
all to be done by young people, as it
is within their possibilities.
Put a nail in the end of a candle and
set it ali in a glass filled with water.
The nail will steady the candle, which
will burn until nothing remains, al
WAYS rising above the surface of the
water by reason of the decrease in
weight.
Take small picture cut from a pa
per or book, and wrap it tightly
around candle. Light a match or
another candle and hold the flame
near until the paper becomes trans
parent. Unwrap the paper, and every
one will be astonished to find the pic
ture printed on the candle.
Put a candle unlighted in a basin
of water. Let several try to take it
out with their mouths, not touching
the candle with their hands. Every
one will fail. Then you put your face
in the water, and, when your mouth is
near the end of the candle, draw in a
deep breath, and the suction of the
water will draw the candle into your
mouth.
Allow some drops from a lighted
candle to fall into a basin of cold Wa
ter. This grease will form flowers.
String these on q wire with green
leaves made from paper, and an in
teresting plant will be the result.
Heat piece of wire and stick it
crosswise through the middle Of a
candle. Make a wick at both ends.
Balance the candle on two tumblers.
Light the wicks, and the dropping
of the candle grease will make the
candle see-saw, faster and faster as
the flame grows hotter. This is
pretty experiment.

Pen Pictures Of Mothers Love.

You know what it would be to
spend one of your winter evenings In
a chamber without fire on the hearth
or a carpet on the floor; even though
the furniture were costly and the
friends congenial, nothing could Inn
part the lacking comfort or diffuse the
wonted radiance. And in this wintry
world, your mothers love and care are
the carpet on the floor, and the blaze
on the evening hearth. To life's lat
est moment they mingle In every pic
ture of preeminent happiness.-Dr. J.
Hamilton.

They left one night, and BaChercau

where they would be able to dig for

they could escape from the colony al

Pastimes For Outdoor Parties.

Did you every try Blowing the
Gomez" The youngsters will love it.
Make a large cone of stiff paper and
slip it on q string stretched between
two trees about three feet from the
ground.
Give each child try to see il by
blowing into the large end Of the
cone they can. send it across the
string. The art is to see who can
send it over with the fewest 'fblcws."
Another very good amusement is to
tie knot in clothes line and stretch
it conveniently high between two
trees or posts, blindfoid each child in
turn and give him three clothes pins.
Then see who can come the nearest
the knot Each pin is marked with
the players number; for instance,
three will be marked "I,'' three z, ;"
etc. This gives each one three trials.
If the party is large one it will be
best to let each child have just one
pin and instead of numbering the
clothespins could have colored ribbons
tied to them, each child to remember
his or her color.
