an appeal to all architects,

Profans Dancing.

Harriet Beecher Stowe records that
In her girlhood she and her friends
used to dance jig entitled Go to the
Devil and Shake Yourself" This dance
must have enjoyed long spell Of pop

ham and Chandos was indignant when
deigning to attend an assembly ball
at Airesford. his request for dance
addressed to local rector's wife. met
with the reply. "Go to the Devil and
Shake Yourself" He complained t.
the rector. and It then transpired that
the lady. who was somewhat deaf
thought his grace had asked her what
dance was then being played. This
incident occurred in 1905. and twenty

NAPOLEON and the Balloon.

When Napoleon was II young cadet
he went on one occasion to witness
the ascent Of IL balloon in the Champs
de Mars. he entered, unperceived. the
Enclosure which contained the balloon,
which was then very nearly full and
about to ascend, and requested the
aeronaut to allow him to enter the
car. The request, however, was re-
fused, tile reason given being that the
feelings Of the boy might embarrass
the aeronaut.
Though I nm young, 1 fear neither
the powers Of earth nor OF the air!
Bonaparte is reported to have ex'
claimed.
On being requested to retire, the lit
tie cadet, enraged at the refusal, drew
his sword and, Sitting the balloon In
several places, destroyed the apparatus
which had been constructed with inf
mite labor and ingenuity.
Such was Napoleon's first and last
attempt to ascend IN u balloon.

In one Of the old Greek cities there
stood long ago a statue. Every trace
Of Il has vanished now. But there Is
still In existence an epigram which
gives Us an excellent description Of 1t,
and as we read the words We can sure
ly discover the lesson which those wise
old Greeks meant that the statue
should teach to every passerby.
The epigram Is In the form OF a con-
versation between a traveller and the
statue:
"What is thy name, o statueT
II am called Opportunity"
"Who made theef"
"Lysippus."
"Why art thou upon thy toes"
ITO show that stay but moment"
"Why hast thou wings upon thy
feet?"
ITO show how quickly pass by"
"But why is thy hair 30 long on thy
forehead"
"That men may seize me as they
meet me-"
"why, then. is thy head so bald be-
hindu?

Politics In France.

Americans generally know as little
about French politics as Frenchmen
know about ours. Issues, methods
and parties in the two countries are
radically different. In France parties
are so many in number and so small
in membership that they are usually
designated as groups rather than as
parties. 1t is always necessary to COM
bine the forces Of three or more OF
them to constitute a majority in the
chamber of deputies, and that can be
done only by giving each group rep
resentation In the cabinet. The parlia-
mentary system Of France resembles
that of Great Britain In this: When
the chamber gives vote adverse to
the ministry. the ministry resigns. But
that means only that new alliance Is
formed that includes groups other than
those represented in the retiring min
istry. AS consequence 1t usually
happens that sOme members Of the de-
feated cabinet are retained in the cab
met that succeeds it.-Y0uth's Com
panion.
