M'.';,.,"":'. inn, , .,, -.j; ...... l; Why an Amrlan Showman Coutf Not 0t It rr HI Mumuri. 1 When tb eminent French writer Kerdlnand B rune tie re visited tbe Unit- f ed SUtee aome years ago, lecturing at Harvard and other leading nnlrersl ties, h had ao amusing experience, which he described In the recollections of bis American tour which he after ward published. The great litterateur devoted much attention to the life and works of Bossuet, who was often styled the "Eagle of Meaux," on account per haps bf his lofty 'flights of eloquence, This fact, with others pertaining to his literary career, was mentioned by acme dally papers during his stay in this country. It caught tbe eyes of a shrewd American showman, who. how erer... got somewhat mixed over the meaning of the allusion. He wrote tbe following letter to the Freucb author: Sir I have just heard that a certain Meaux eagle, very celebrated. It appears. In your country, has become your ex clu8lve property. Now, I am the man ager of a museum In one of the largest cities In the States. This Meaux eagle, whose reputation has been enhanced by your eloquence, would certainly not fall to excite the curiosity of my public, if you will let me have. the rare bird and tell me how to feed It, you can quote your own figure, v , - Brunetiere politely explained that the "rare bird" had been dead for nearly 200 years. C0H00N BLEU. Origin of the French Title as Applied to a Fine Cook. The Order of the St. Esprit was cre ated In 1587. was suppressed by the revolution and was revived by Louis S VIH. lu 1814. To speak rightly, Louis XVIII. considered that tbe order had never ceased to exist, for be had given twa collars during bis exile, in 1810, the one to Frauds I., king of the two Sicilies, and the other to his brother, tbe Prince" of Salerno, tbe father of his brother's wife, tbe Duchess d'Aumale. The ribbjn of this order was a light blue color. It was worn around tbe neck In tbe reigus of, Henry ill. and Henry IV., but was changed by Louis XI when it was worn across tbe chet. Tbe Chevaliers of the St. Esprit were always known under tbe name of Les Cordon Bleu, and this was tbe su preme honor during the monarchy o. France. It waa from .this that the title or coraon oieu- was given to a nrst class cook. A gentleman one day de clared after a good meal that be wbo had cooked the dinner had proved him self a "cordon bleu" among cooks la other words, tbe master of his art. The title became), quite the rage and is now always used to designate a good cook without tbe persons wbo use it know ing what It means or still less the ori gin of the title. ; : FOREISN HOTELS. They Differ In Many Ways From These of Our Own Country. Hot water is not "laid on" (piped) at foreign hotels, says the Travel Maga due. 1 If you hear a gentle tan on the door hi tbe morning, you may Inter pret It as meaning that a copper ewer of hot water hat Just been set down outside for your personal use. If you order a bath, It will be pre pared for yon accordingly, and a sweet voiced maid will give you notice when it is ready. Ton. are not expected to operate tbe water valves at alL and It la doubtful if yon would succeed If you tried. i. From a variety of vacant rooms at a hotel shown you you select the one yon prefer,, with a definite agreement as to price. - You are not required to accept humbly and thankfully, in blind faith, whatever room tbe clerk delgus to assign to yon. as in America. It Is expected, however, that, you will order your breakfasts at tbe hotel, being free to get your other meals elsewhere If you prefer. , , Electric light switches are not com monly turnVd on by a push button or a flat key, as In our buildings, but by a small brass lever. ; Many of tbe best hotels, have -a reading .light in the headboard of each bedstead. -'-"A The" Last Beeort. A man went into an oculist's the other day and, complaining of falling sight, got fitted with a pair of spec tacles. , "Is tlifs the weakest glass for my eye?" he asked. . . 'Yes," replied the oculist. . 1 "Supposing I can't see with It after a few monthsf" ;' v A ;" J "Get a stronger then." v "And if I still can't seer . v . : "Get a still stronger."-.. "And If the stroupest glass falls?" :, fin Hint cose I think if I were yon I should buy a small. Intelligent dog and couple of yards of string-. . He. d -Lot Storlea." When a man has passed through tbe cycle of emotions called love be has had bis adventures; other people's cease to bare a personal bearing, and be "anticipates nothing further from them. , ).,.. It is not so with tbe young man and woman who, as the proverb says of the young bear, hare all their troubles before them. The world of lore, so full of' mystery for them, has become to tbe maturer man translated Into the concrete terms of domestic life, and tbe relations of man and woman pass into the domain of fact that can be tested by experience. Yet novelists do not seem to under stand this psychology of tbe mature man, and they continue to make the love story their chief staple, so that they are read chiefly by young men and women as callow as their own heroes and heroines. Pecuniarily they are of course catering for a larger market The number of the Immature by age and the Immature by nature are always the larger part of man kind. London Saturday Review. No Coat For Nineteen Years. During the journey from Victoria falls to KImlerley a bl,'. sun browned man boarded tbe Zamlvezl express ml nusilils coat, with Ills shirt sleeves rolled up. He took a seat at dinner, and the chief steward remarked to him that as there were ladies pre.-sout perhaps be would have no objection to putting on his coat. "Great Scott," tbe man replied," "I haven't worn a coat for nineteen years. You will have to wait, ruy friend, until I can buy one at Klm berley." South African Railway Mag azine. Polite. Robecchl asked a friend tu dinner and then returned home furious. "What Is the matter?" said his wife. "Do not speak to me! It is a shame! I always thought a politeness produced one in return, so I asked Dobelll to lunch." "And has he refused?" "Refused! I should think not He baa accepted." Carlcaturlsta. Would Improve Mankind.

"Two jresn nprs, twenty-six pea nuts, one and a half ; cucumbers and four mince pies." "UmP' said the professor. "A package of starch, sixty-seven cakes of yeast and the skins of seven bananas. Got that down?' "Yes," answered' Dr. Byerly. "How does It taste?" asked the stu dent Boston Herald. Close Qaeatlonlaar In recalling Incidents connected wltb Virginia politics some years ago a prominent Virginian recently related to a Washington man en account of an investigation of election frauds in the lower section of the state.. In tbe course of the proceedings It developed that the ballots in an important pre cinct had not been sealed after the final count thereby being exposed to fraudulent practices. The chairman , of the Investigating committee closely nd gave proof of his vast literary at questioned the election Judge as to j talnnients.' Some of his poems have why the prescribed duty of carefully securing the ballots had been neglected. 'Could you not obtain any mucilage In the town?" "No. sir." . "Could yon not procure some sealing wax some shoemaker's wax, Jf noth ing else?" " "No, sir." - - ' ' "Well. then, sir, why didn't yon go out Into the woods and get some resin?

The Schema to Blow Up Napoleon III. With Gunpowder. An Interesting story la that of a frus trated plot against Napoleon III. which has never gut Into the history book, but which is one of the favorite stories of M. Yft'torien Sardou. In 1UO0, when the frontage of the Theatre Francals was rebuilt after the disastrous tire In which one of tbe most charming actresses of tbe Malsou de Moliere losfher life, several shops disappeared, among them being that of the famous Restaurant Chevet It wan not properly speaking a restaurant. Chevet used to sell liqueurs, groceries, smoked meats, etc., and in a couple of low ceillnged rooms on the first floor be would serve a meal or two to cou noisseurs. Oue day In 1865 or 18i0 two young men of fashion, Russians both of tbem, came in and called for dinner in one of the little rooms which were above tbe shop. They asked for caviare, but when they got It they pro tested loudly that tbe caviare was of Inferior quality and called for the own er of Jhe shop. lie came, apologized and was met wltb tbe remark, tender ed laughingly by one of the diners, that next time they came tbey would bring their own caviare. They came again and brought it in a little white wooden barrel, and when they left they had It put on one side for tbem. From time to time the two young Russians came and dined cliez Chevet, dined In variably In the same room and always began their dinuer with their own ca viare. One day they finished the bar rel, and a few days later, In tbe after noon, oue of tbem brought another one. "Put it In the little cupboard In the room we always dine In," he said to the waiter, "and do not let anybody touch It until we come to dine." The waiter took It, but on his way upstairs soniething peculiar struck him. "Look at this barrel," he said to tbe restaurant keeper. "There is some thing queer about it" "That Is no business of ours," said the master of tbe establishment, ''and I am not going to look at It, anyhow. What will "bur customers say if they find we have opened It?" "Oh," said the waiter, "we cap open It and close it again, and they will nev er know. It Is certainly different from the last barrel. It is heavier, to begin with." , i .,: His Insistence prevailed,. and the bar: rel was opened. Tbe restaurant keep er and the waiter started back; in fright There was no cavalre, but gun powder in that little barrel, which waa an Infernal machine. Tbe little dining room was exactly underneath tbe impe rial box, and there Is little doubt that tbe emperor's next visit to the Comedle Francaise would have been bis last had tbe carefully laid plot not been discov ered. The plotters never were caught. although the secret of the plot waa I carefully guarded and traps were laid restaurant or ?ral days.-St James' Osteite. Turkish Political Prisoners. When a Turkish political prisoner Is sentenced to be deported to Tripoli Or to tbe Euphrates, his friends bid blm. farewell. Tbey know that they will never see him again alive and In all probability- nearer hear of him again unless enormous sums are forthcoming to bribe scores of different officials. .In fact the only difference between.- a death sentence in Turkey and one of transportation Is that tbe former Is more rapid and more merciful. Tbe government' prefers the latter because It Is less public. Now and then, how ever, news leaks through.
