Stories Old and New.

Some men are born story tellers,
some achieve the story telling faculty.
while others-who constitute the
great majority-can only sit in amaze
ment and listen to the man who can
glibly reel them off, one after another,
as if they were all new, fresh and
original. You can recognize good
story by the number of times you
meet it, for the good story is picked
up and repeated, interchanged, en-
larged, improvised and spread, until
it is liable to reappear, as natural.
or in disguise, at the four corners
of the earth, and at widely separated
periods of time That's what makes
the modern story teller such a delight,
because until he finishes you cannot
know whether you are about to meet
an old friend or be initiated into
novel mysteries The redeeming fea-
ture of it is that every year another
crop Of listeners grows to maturity for
whom the old ones are always new,
and who, in consequence, must be
the perpetual inspiration and the liV-
ing encouragement to the story teller.

CITY OF MONUMENTS
French Capital Very interesting
in This Respect.
Every Highway and Garden Appears
But the Background for Work Of
Arc-Tomb OF Napoleon In
sPiPes Patriotic Feeling.

Paris.-Paris is 80 full Of interesting
monuments that it Is a never-ending
delight TO wander aimlessly about the
town in order to be surprised by some
graceful nymph in bronze OF some
handsome god In stone. Every high
way and garden appears but the back
ground for a work of art designed TO
please the eye sensitive to beauty.
Whatever be the nature Of the Paris
monument, 1t seldom fails to inspire
some emotion. One cannot visit the
Impressive tomb of Napoleon at the
lnyalides without a feeling of patriot
ism. The lovely fountain of Carpeaux,
In the Luxembourg gardens, is an in
spiration for the poet and dreamer;
and the Ghapelle Expiatoire, in the
Rue des Mathurins. one of the least
known monuments of Paris, calls forth
tears of pity. II is hardly possible
10 enter Chapelle Expiatoire without

of Destiny, the fascinating Madame
Deficit. the execrated Madame Veto Of
the pamphleteers.
The edifice, which, unfortunately, Is
not as beautiful as it might be, is the
work OF the architects Percier and
Fontaine, and was erected shortly
after the Restoration on the site Of
the old burial ground of the Made
leine, where the victims of the insa-
table guillotine found their final rest
ing place. Here we're the graves Of the
noble Swiss Guards, of beautiful Char
lotte Corday, Of Philippe Egalite,
Madame Roland, Madame Dubarry,
Camille Desmoulins, Danton, Bailly
and many others, and here, too, the
bodies of Louis XVI and Marie An
toinette we're hastily inferred in open
cofins filed with 'quicklime.
Had it not been for the loyalty OF
a few royalists the actual grave Of the
king and queen might easily have been
lost in oblivion. AS it happened. the
SPOT was carefully noted and pur-
chased in 1896 by one Desclozeaux. In
1915, when the horrors of the revolu-
ton had passed like an evil dream, the
remains were disinterred, the skulls,
a few bones and the elastic metal gar
ters worn by the ill-fated Autrichienne
at the time Of her execution were re-
inferred at st. Denis with the respect
which had been denied them by the
Republic One and Indivisible; and the
original collins, worth six francs each,
containing the dust Of the king and
queen, were placed in the vault illus
trated above. In the chapelle also are

Kept Alive By EIectrleIty.

The attention of surgeons at the
General hospital, Birmingham, Eng
land, has been occupied by the most
remarkable case of lad eleven years
of age. He was admitted to the insti-
tuition suffering from a tumor on the
brain, the removal of which necessi-
tated a most serious operation.
While the surgeons were at work
the patient stopped breathing and arti-
fetal respiration was resorted to. Dur
ing the course of the operation large
portion of the skull was removed, and
when the pressure from the brain was
lightened the lad began to breathe
again. An electric battery was ap-
piled to the chest, and the muscles be-
ing thus affected the breathing motion
produced proved sufficient to keep the
lad alive.

There is a heavenly terrace, fianked
