They shouted to the crowd mid police that I was drunk. And another 'tough,' who said he was my friend, helped them hustle me to and held the door until they dashed away.

The Mystery of the Missing Arms of the Famous Statue. Through the publication of some quaint manuscripts which have never before been printed .lean Alcard, the Children Cry for Fletcher's French academician and man of let ters, produces evidence that tbe arms of the Venus de Mllo were broken off In a fight between French and Turkish forces for possession of the figure. Both arms, according to tbe manu scripts, were In place when the statue was first discovered tn 1820 Tbe right arm descended a little below tbe bins, where It held tip the draperies, while the left arm was raised above tbe bend and grasped In tbe band a small sphere. Tbe documents published by M. Al card claim that French naval officers, who were the first Europeans to see the Venus and who were authorised by tbelr government to buy It at an cost, obtained the prise only at the cost of a sharp scrimmage with the crew of q Turkish brig, the commander of which had been Instructed by n Greek priuce at Constantinople to bring the statue to him.

MEADOWS MEAL I To the King's Taste. King Leopold of Belgium frequented a certain cafe in Paris when he was In tbe city. He had private apartments on tbe second floor, where be had his meals served for him. One night he went to bis cafe, but was met by the manager, who told him In great trepidation that be could not have bis private dining room that night. Leopold raised a frightful rumpus. He was king of the Belgians, and he demanded to know who could keep him out of tbe room. Presently a voice came from behind tbe door, "Who Is that making such a row out there?" The manager explained. "Oh." said tbe voice, "let blm come in if he likes." King Leopold went in and found the person who had his fa vorite dining room was the king of England, Edward VU then Prince of Wales, who knew a good thing him self.

The first person to screw a glass In his eye was. according to Sir Horace Kumbnld. a Dutch exquisite, Jolikheer Rreele. whose mono. le star tled the diplomats assembled fur the congress of Vienna. The fashion spread rupltlly. In Dr. Kltchlner's "Economy of the Eves." published nine years after the congress, lie deplores the fact that ii "single glass set In a smart ring Is often used by trinket functor merely fur fashion's sake These folk have not the least defect in their sight and are nut aware of the mischievous ron sequences of such irritation."-New York Sun.
