2‘ AN OLD. LADY’S CUNNING:
Near "the small’itovvn'OI Declsefin N-iver- r‘
nois, France, the family of La Brienne had
, resided , for many generations. After the
" ”revolution ’they were greatly reduced, but
lived, inthe old chateau, positively refusing
' to cast‘of! their pride and engage in any oc-
cupatiou that might yield emolument. »
Marguerite, one of the daughters, alienated
her family from her forever by marrying a
clerk in a mercantile house, and lier‘nanie
was never mentioned by any member of the
family. saint, Marguerite’shcsband rose step
:‘ byctepun he became. a'partncr in thc'firm.
" " did then puma himself in Paris, where be
rapidly acquired an immense fortune. ln
, - ’ ‘ 41865 he retired- from business, and he and his
wife—all their children having died—went to
. reside incur Reims. In 1882 M. Trevoux
, died» and his widow came into possession of all
" hiauitate, valued at many millions‘of francs.
. . .Ahconsuitatiou washeld among the rela-
tives of Mme. Tre'voux as to the ' best course
to pursue so atto secure for themselves her
wealth at hcr’death. It was finally arranged
that Charles St. Dinan should go to Cham-
« .. pegusandseehow the landlay. He waste
. take every means! to preserve his ‘ incognito, .
and to ' return as scones possible with a full ‘
and accurate account of all things pertaining
to the widow, who was now verging on 80._
and in the ordinary course of nature could
not last long.
When Charles reached Balms he learned
that jshe was pvaricious and grasping and
that her only desire was to hoard money and
to live as long as pomible. She lived in good
style, but kept no company, and was seldom
visited by any one except her lawyer. Her
’ property,” for ascould be ascertained, was
chiefly in rents and stocks, though the estate
‘fion which she" :lived was worth probably 250,-
000 francs. . , _ ' . . .
‘ Here he began to practice his profession as
a physician. He called'on M. Jugon, Mme.
Trevoux’s lawyer, and consulted him as to a
small property belonging to Mme. Trevoux
' i, which he thought.Of?buying, and in which, of
” cent-so, the "lawyer'Wss interested. He spoke
to the lawyer as though he had a large sum of
money at his command. ~ '
“I shall stay here if there is any likelihood.
of my succeeding,” he said, “and if ‘ I resolve '
to stay I will buy this property.”
Now, the lawyer had asked three times as
much for the house and land asthey were
worth, and Charles St. Dinan well knew it;
but he was playing a boldxgamepand the
lawyer’s good offices were necessary to his
success. ‘ .
“If I could secure three or four wealthy
patients,”. saidCharles, “that would go a very
amt Wei. Ward mums “0 mo pros, .
verity? .
The lawyer acquiesced in this sentiment,
and it didn’t surprise Charles when, in the
course of a week, he was summoned to pre-
scribe for Mme. Trevoux. This was what he
wasaiming stall along. Hewasvery suc-
cessful in building up the old lady, who
. gives-in utter ignorance of his relationship to
hefielf. . , . -
“Madam,” said be, “you have a splendid
constitution, and if you follow good medical
advice you may live for many. many years. .
I have no hesitation in saying that I can in-
sure twenty more years of life for a cer-
tainty, though, of coursc, you may live much
longer.” . 2 ' t.
‘The old lady was greatly pleased with this
kind of talk. and the result was that Dr. 'St.
Dinan was a daily visitor at her residence,
and, .being able to furnish, her ,with many
antidotes to; growing feeble'ness which were
; a'ot'lmowntothe old-fashioned doctor who .
had previously attended her, he soon ob-
tained greatlinfluence over her. .
If the remarkable incidents which ., follow ‘
hadnot been brought folightinacourt of
justice they would have been incredible.
St. Dinan soon spent most of his time at the
chateau, and was freely consulted by Mme.
Trevoux en tbusinem and other matters
besidd her health, She was'a wonderfully
able and a'cu’te woman, and somewhat
astonished St. Dinan with her ready wit and
, cunning. .- He handled her with; great judg— _
. merit. however, and in due time began to put .
Vin Operation'those plans which he had long
before formed. . .. . _. ..
Her valuables were stowed away in a large
eldest in her bed room, and this 'she always
kept locked. St. Dinan .ruolved to posses
' himself, as a first step, of some jewelry which
he:knew she Messed. First of all. he- in-
dueed hat to remove her'bed into an edjbinL
ing room, 'as it had better ventilation, at the
. sometime showing her that the connecting
dooreould be open, and that all her property
‘ would be as safe as though in the room where
she slept.
One day he brought a small portmanteau
intoher 'parlor and begged the use of her
keys, ashe said he had lost the one to the
portmanteau. He managed .to takevan-im-
pre-ion in wax of the key to the outer door of
the room which she had formerly slept in,
and of the key of the closet.“
_ On the morning preceding his 'intended
- . raid on the closet he putan ingredient in the‘
" 61d l'ady's’medicineto make'her sleep soundly.
' Insteadof leaving the chateau, he, secreted
himself. in the library, and, when all was still,
wentup stairs and listened at the old lady’s
bed room door. He unlocked the door of the
adjacent room with the duplicate, key, and
' entered. A faint light was burning in the
bed room, sufilcient to make him see what he
was about.
While he was standing in the middle of the
‘ room in a listening attitude he heard _a noise
which indicated that Mme. Trovoux was
' frombed. Hehastilyhid himselfbe~
bind the‘ window curtains. ' The next mo-
ment ‘Mm‘en Trevoux, in her night dress,
stalked into the room-with a bunch of keys in
1her hand. She went ~qtraight to the closet,
:opened it and .rummaged about. Then she
brought forth a large leathern case. Laying
it on the floor she relocked the door and, lift-
ing the case, returned to her room. St. Dinan
hard her get into bed, and all was silent.
After waiting for about ten minutes St.
‘ Dinah stepped cautiously toward the bed and
peered at the occupant. There was no doubt
that she was asleep, and by her side lay the
luthern case. St. Dinan was than satisfied
that she had walked in her sleep and was still
under the effects of the powerful soporific
‘, which he had given her.
- He quitted the room and left the chateau
by a private door which led into the gardens.
When'he reached home he opened the case,
which was simply clasped, and found it
empty! Next day, on visiting Mme. Tre-
voux, he found her in a state of great ner-
vous prostration. She told him that the pre-
vious night she had dreamed that some one
. .was rubbing: her and that she . must have
I ; prism- in her sleep and procureda‘ certain
' lather case in which she had a large sum of
‘ money and notes. When she awoke in the
looming she found the bundle of notes lying
in the bed besideher. but? the case was gone.
On examining the place where she usually
kept it, it was not there. ,
St. Dinah exprcmad great surprise. but a‘d-
vludher to my' nothing to any one about it.
14! he was :afraid of her mentioning it to
hwycr Jugon, whose suspicions might be
aroused. '
Almosta month passed before St. Dinan
vmtured on another attempt at robbery. It
“I Mme. Trevoux‘s custom to keep her
duping apartment and dressing room under
bek and key all the time and never to let
I domestic enter except in her presence.
During the day she spent her time in a small
suite of parlors" on the ground floor over-
looking the front, garden, which was arranged
in terraces. along which she occasionally
strolled. St. Dinan, afraid of another ex-
perience similar to the former, and fearful of
using a drug to stupefy the old lady, resolved
to attempt to get at the valuable contents of
the closet by daylight. While the domestics
were at dinner he reached the room in safety.
,He ransacked the closet-and stowed away in
his pockets several valuable jewels and a
largeroll of notes of the bank of France.
He relocked the closet and was ready to
quit the room, when he heard ‘a click. 'Turn-
inghastily hesawe panel lathe \vainscoted

' Both men were Tor a moment paralysed
with astonishment. and both grew first pale,
then red. St. Dinan recovered himself first.
“What means this!" he asked, looking at
the lawyer sternly.
“I came to watch you," was the answer,
but the lawyer’s lips were very dry, and he
found it hard to munciate.
“You came hither by a secret door,” said
St. Dinau. ' -
“And, 'how did you
asked.
St. Dinan could say nothing, and the two
men looked at each other. The lawyer. who
was the more accomplished villain, was the
first to understand the situation.
“I think," said be, “we are both on the same
mission. Let us work together.”
“In what way?" asked St“ Dinall, rapidly
losing; his assumed dignity.
“In making all we can out of Mme. Tre-
voux," was the reply.
“Agreed," said St. Dinan; “here is my hand
upon it."
And the rogues shook hands upon their no-
farious bargain. '
‘_‘What have you got?" asked the lawyer.
“Let us get away from here," said St. Dinan;
“we may be discovered or overheard.”
“Follow me, then,” said J ugon. and they
passed through the open panel, which Jugon
closed. They descended a stair in the wall
and soon reached an underground passage, at
the entrance to which stood a lamp. Taking
' the lamp J ugon led the way, and in a few
minutes they reached a floor. On touching a
spring the door opened and they entered a
small chamber of solid masonry. , n
“Seeflf said J ugon, as the door closed; “you
could not tell it from one of ~3the huge blocks
which form the wall. This is the ice house,
, endpour way out is through that door.”
He pointed to a thick wooden door, which
he opened with a brass key, and they passed
into a small coppice. ,
“You have no but,” said J ugon.
“That is true,” replied St. Dinan. “How for
an I fromthechateaul" ‘ ,
' “Go up t'o‘the ‘end of the \coppice, climb a
low wall, and you will be in the garden,” said
J ugon. “No One will think it strange for you
who in the gardenhatles. Then get aha
and come and join me.” .
It is not necdful to recount all the conver-
sation between these two rascals. Jugon
recommended the return of what St. Dinan
had stolen, as the loss might be discovered.
He disclosed to St. Dinan how he had become
. thoroughly acquainted with the secrets of
, the chateau when a boy, as he was the son of
the former steward, and how he had recently
‘ ascertained where Mme. Trevoax kept her
valuable papers, etc. H6 had procured a
duplicate key to the closet, and had within
three months removed stocks of great value
and replaced them with papers of no value.
Now he thought it was nearly time to clean
out what was left, then they could quit
come?” the lawyer
, the country before the theft was discovered.
' Ever since the circumstance of themissing
leather case the mind of Mme. Trevoux had
been .on the rack. She had searched her
closet andrhad discOveredthe fact that the
stocks had been abstracted and worthlem
papers substituted. Some one, she knew,
who had her confidence was robbing her, and
her suspicions fell upon the doctor. If she
- disclosed her mistrust in any way, how easy
for him to poison her. True, shehad never
taken his medicine since that night, but then
there might be many ways known to a physi-
cian of introducing poison into the human
system of which she was ignorant. So she re-
solved to disarm all suspicion on the doctor‘s
,part by. treating him with the utmost ap-
parent confidence.
Then she secretly dispatched a letter to
, Ceylon, to a M. Leconte. who had formerly.
been a clerk in her husband’s employment.
M. Leconte obeyed the urgent summons, and
in due time secretly reached Reims.
When he was informed of the circumstances
of the robbery he quietly waited on the chief
of police and arranged with him to be at the
chateau at a. certain hour. When St. Dinau
arrived-as usual, Mme. Trevoux received him
graciously, Then entered Leconte and the
chief. The business was brief. 0
“M. St. Dinan," said Leconte, “I am Mme.
Trevoux’s friend. This is the chief of police;
' Mme. Trevoux has been robbed of valuable
property. and we have reason to suspect you.
What have you to say?”
St. Dinan had nothing to say. He pleaded
that he was Mme. Trevoux’s nephew, and
confessed his association with Jugon in the
crime. J ugon was speedily captured and
most of the stocks were recovered. Mme. '
Trevoux’s nephew told the story in court as
it is told here, and he and Jugon were sent to
prison for 10 years each.
Why Advertising Pays.
All see the advantage in advertising in
starting a business and its helpfulness in
getting a new enterprise well on its feet.
Not all, however, remarks a contempor-
ary, understand just why it should not be
dropped, or, at any rate, why its proper-
tiOns cannot be greatly reduced after trade
once gets moving to a proprietor’s doors.
One reason why he must keep on making
.hil usual nnnouncements is drawn from
the conditions of commerce in our day.
There was a time when. perhaps, a man's
sign over his door suficiently called atten-
tion to his business, and in connection
with is lecal reputation in the mouth of
his neighborhood, placed him prominently
in the public eye. ‘ Such a time could only
be when nobody did 'more than that—
wheo, that was the course pursued by
dealers generally. To day, however. at-
tention is called when it is compelled, so
before the public gaze that he will never
be’. seen if he 'does not get in line with
them. And this is why he cannot stop
advertising. Others will keep all forcing
the public to notice them, and no attention
will be paid if he is content to be modest
and let the pushers rush their headlines in
front of the public. In crowding times
“like these he will be hustled to the rear.
Out of sight, if he does not crowd, too.
This is why he cannot well stop spending
money for advertising, even after he is
well-known. The other well-known fel-
"lows, and‘ the new concerns who hope to
become, well-known,~ will not stop also.
'If he once enters the race he cannot hope
to win if he does not run to the finish—
.and there is no finish until he retires from
. the business. Another reason for continu-
ing to hang his banner on the outer wall
is fOund in the fact that people exhibit a
tendency to trade with a prosperous con-
...cern, 4 and that persistent, never-failing
“advertising is takcn‘us a sign'of prosperity.
When a man stops advertising his name
and business, it is interpreted that his
stock-in-trade is of such a nature as not
to‘ attract and hold a business suflcient to
enable him to afford to pay advertising
expenses. It is taken as a sign of his
decadence if it is perceived that the. col-
umn which once knew his name knows it
no more.—Stondard.

One of UncleRcmus’ friends met him on
the street the other day. The old man’s
face wore a troubled expression as he
paused to return the greeting.
“I tell you what, boss," he exclaimed,
“I ain't feelin’ so mighty tollerbul well,

.“Why, I thought." said the gentleman
who had stopped Uncle Remus, “that
your Mars John laid in a good supply of
liquors when prohibition went into ef-
fect." _
“Dat zackly what he done, boss." said
the old man. brightening up a little. “He

the old man stopped him.
"Boss." he said, “sposen Ifind Mars

“Yes,” said the gentleman, “the pro-

The gentleman and Uncle Remus went
their several ways. but it chanced that
they met again about an hour afterwards.
The old negro was laughing and talking
to himself, and appeared to be immensely
pleased over something or other.

gentleman.

This place, which has come into popular
favor as a retreat where the tired devotees
of fashion can recuperate during Lent,
and also as a sanitorium for invalids, is
some forty-four miles south of New York,
and 'ten miles or so from the sea. The
place was originally known as the Bergen
Iron Works, later it became Bricksburg,
in honor of its projector, Joseph Brick,
.but whether his patronymic was a misno-
mer or not history fails to narrate. Now,
however, the place bears the name of
Lakewood, which it will probably retain. ‘
Owing tO’the sandy soil and environments
of pine forests the air of this place is
singularly dry and salubrious; and as the
land company, which is said to own all
the village, and 19,000 acres, of the sub-
urbs, have put in water works, a very
elaborate system of sewerage, plankwalks
and electric lights, one has here a sort of

cumference, and is surrounded by an ex-
cellent road, and in part by a foot path,
while paths and drives lead in every di-
rection' through the pine forests. The
village is laid out upon a liberal and regu-
lar scale, and has quite a resident popula-
tion; three churches, Presbyterian. Epis-
copal and Baptist; 9. public library, good
public schools, stores, a local paper, the
Times-Journal, which, in addition to its
other virtues, is not a mugwump, its
republicanism being of the most uncom-
promising type. The place is ’ mainly
sought by those who have or are appre-
- hensive of lung troubles, and, but for the
low temperature, it has all the advantages
of Florida, certainly drier air if nothing
more, and, as the hotels and boarding
houses are supplied from New York, the
cuisine is excellent. Of course there is
no fountain of youth in the place, and
people have been known to die there, or
at least they have a local cemetery associ.
ution, which, probably, was not organized
for fun,but those who need a rest and
dry air can find home comforts and an
organized community, and at the same
time be accessible to friends and kindred.

The very handsome gift of a valuable
farm to the Hartford olty hospital and
Old People’s home, by Hon. David Clark,
is a practical charity which will be of es.
timable value to these two great benefi-
ceut institutions. The income from the
farm, in addition to the vegetables, milk
and butter, will be for the benefit of the
inmates, who will be made more comfort.
able thereby. The impulse which ledto
this gift is in accord with the well known
generosity of Mr. Clark.-.—-Hartford Post.
The genius of Connecticut advertising
was present at the Oxford-Cambridge bout
race on the Thames, Saturday. A well-
known Waterbury firm engaged in the
manufacture of pocket time-pieces char-
tcred eleven steamers, each with a band
of music, and the condition of a sail up
the course was the wearing of one of its
timepieces. It also sent up a thousand
toy balloons, each carrying a con on glv.

The educational committee has pre-
sented a bill to the house, which provides
for town, instead of district management
for schools. The provisions of the bill
are such that no school will be disturbed
from its present location, and no town in
which there is a city to be affected.
There is no doubt but that the bill, if it
should pass, will "even udp" the schools
in the towns of the state, an place some of
the very poor schools in much better con.
dition while it will not necessarily detract
from the efficiency of the good ones. It
would certainly be an advantage to the
children who are almost as badly off as if
they attended no school at all.—Eartford
oat.
The Popular Science Monthly returns to
the consideration of the education of
children. It holds that “one of the great-
est mistakes made in our present system
of educating children is that they are
iven too many subjects to study at once.
he powar of dissociation—that is, of
keeping one subject entirely clear of an-
other subject—is not great in the made of
children. They, therefore, have a mass
of confused ideas when they have got
through with their daily tasks. whlch it
is always difilcult, and sometimes Impos.
sible for them to separate one from the
other. It is true that some children are.
from the beginning, able to concentrate
the attentioufirst on one sub1ect then on
another, but these are quite exceptional
instances, and the brain is very likely to
be strained in the effort.”
Oyster planting is to-day one of the/
greatest of Connecticut industries. Where
growers escape the ravages of star-fish it
is profitable, but that danger is only occa-
sional, just as canker worms in the _apple
trees, or the potato rot. The delicious
qualities of Long Island Sound oysters,
grown under the best system of cultiva-
tion, and in the pure waters of our inland
sea, are not only welcomed by Amerlcau
slates, but are fast winning favor in
Europe, where waters cannot,_ or ct least
do not, yield oysters equal 1!! size and
flavor to those of American growth.
Thousands of barrels are shipped to Eu-
rope every month by the fast steamers,
and at prices which pa veryhandsomely.
Mr. Rowe, of Fair even, ‘has been a
large shipper for years, and recently we
notice that Bridgeport, Stratford and
Milford planters are securing a share of
the business. The stock is selected, care-
fully pscked, and, for the English trade,
small round opsters are preferred, some-
what of the size which grow in English
waters, but far s erior in flavor. The
English oyster usually has a coppery and,
to Americans, a very disagreeable flavor.

What It Costs to Smoke.
Last year tax was paid upon 2,510,898,-

or one that retails at five cents. On that
basis there annually oes up in smoke

I know Hop Bitters will bear recom-
mendation honestly. All who use them
confer upon them the highest encomiums
and give them credit for making cures—all
the proprietors claim for them. I have
kept them since they were first ofiered to
the public. They took high rank from
the first, and maintained it, and are more
called for than all others combined. So
long as they keep up their high reputation
for purity and usefulness -I shall continue
to recommendthcm—something I have
never done before with any patent media

The above is from a very rcliablefarmer,
whose daughter was in poor health for
seven or eight yeals, and could obtain no
relief until she used Hop Bitters. She is

they are making remarkable cures.

Story of the Discriminate of a Peril
Duelist-"Not a Bad Idea."
J eat at this moment there seems to be a
lull in the demand for pistols for two and
codes for one, but. to supply the omission,
we are new regaled with stories of famous
duelists under the restoration—a periodwhen
Paris was infested by crowds of well dressed
bullies who went about seeking to fasten
quarrels on peaceablu people. The adventures
of one of these gentry is amusing.
He was in the habit of frequenting a res~
taurant, where he became a daily terror to
the non-dueling patrons. On a certain occa-
sion he espied a worthy “bourgeois" gentle-
mansunning himself on the terrace, sip i
his mocha, which did not seem to suit hing. “I
The bully approached the table, and, with a
twirl of hisbellicose moustache, said:
“You don’t seem to be satisfied, sir?”
“No, monsieur, this. mocha is not at all
today.”
The bully then executed his grand “tour de
force" by sticking the end of his cane into the
gentleman’s cup and vigorously stirring the
contents, while he assumed the ferocious air
of one who was being'insulted.
“Perhaps it’s better now," he remarked when
he had finished the maneuver. '
The ‘bourgeois,’ not a little astonished,
tastedued the improved mocha and politely re-
p :
“Not a bad idea, monsieur; not a bad idea!
How drolll It is really better.”
And deliberately repeating . the operation
with his own cane he kept saying, as he took
little sips or the mixture:
“Not a bad idea; it’s ever somuch better-
decidedly improved. Thank you, monsieur;
thank you."
The mild mannered man had won. The
other guests laughed heartily at the discom-
fited duelist, who slunk away, and thenceforth
left the habituea of that particular testament
to enjoy their meals in peace—Paris Cor.

The Omnipotenee of Wealth.
Washington swarms with these curious
social freaks—these queer crosses between
cowboys and grand dukes. mining camp
roughs and howling swells, Kickapoo squaws
and prime donnas of fashion, barmaids and
princesses royal. California, Nevada and
Colorado have made the senate chamber fa.
miliar with their astonishing manners and
vernacular. The bonanza mines, the spout-
ing oil wells, the gigantic railroad rings, the
huge stock gambling corners, and all the
shoddy fortune mills and boodle factories of
forty-seven states and territories have poured
in their plutocratic quotas. Add thousands
of government clerks and clerkesses, young
army and navy ofiicers, attaches of foreign
legations, provincial politicians, office seekers,
rustic belles, and real or pretended authors
gathering material for books, essays, or dia-
tribes; and you have the great body of the
busy, restless, scheming gossiping rout that
calls itself society in’ Washington.
Its whole life is an endless round of card
poking anderee lunching. Calls and visiting
cards fill up the mornings. Calls, receptions
and visiting cards crowd the afternoons.
Calls, receptions and visiting. cards jam the
evenings and the nights until next morning
of every day. If every day were forty-eight
hours long, and every week held fourteen
days. there would still not be time enough for
all the calls, receptions and [visiting cards,
breakfasts, luncheons, dinners arid teas, that
constitute one’s entire emsten' cc, aim and oc-
cupation here. But amid all this mobocratic
maelstrom, amid all this madwhirl of the
odds and ends of creation, one meets more
genuine celebrities, more deservedly famous
men and women, more renowned statesmen,
soldiers, craters and scholars; more rightful
society queens, old and young; more people
worth knowing and remembering, than in
any other city, or all other cities combined,
in the new world—Washington Cor. Globe-
Domocrat._
STATESMEN’S AUTOGRAPHS.
Pocket Money for the Pages of the Capl-
tol—A Division of Profits.
For years it has been the privilege of the
pages in the Capitol to make quitealot of
pocket money each session collecting auto-
graphs. Tho pages of the senate, for instance,
will collect the signatures of all the senators
in an album, turn the book over to some
youngster in'the house, who gets the congress-
men’s names, then to one of the pages in the
supreme court for the autographs of the jus-
tices, and finally to the riding pages of the
senate, who are constantly going between the
Capitol, the White House, the several depart-
ments and bureaus of the government. The
latter gets the names of the president, the
cabinet and other prominent Ofiicials.
For such a collection the boywho starts the
book has received whatever he could get out
of his customer, trustln' g to his own sharp-
ness and the latter-’s generosity. When he
gets his money—and $10 is the usual price—
he settles with the other pages who have as-
sisted himon such terms as they are willing
to make. The ordinary terms of settlement
have been 85 to the contractor, 82 to the
house page, 82 to the boy who gets the presi-
dent and cabinet. and 81 to the youth in the
supreme court. But the example of the
trade unions has reached the Capitol, and an
equal division of profits is now demanded by
the boys. A young man said yesterday:
“I took an album which had been sent me
from the west to one of the senate pages the
other day and asked him to get the auto-
graphs of the statesmen for me, as he had
done before. I had formerly paid him $10
for such a job, but he informed me that the
boys had organized a union and had ad-
vanced prices to $15. He said that the ‘kids’
in the house kicked because the senate boys
were making more money than they, and had
struck, so it became necessar‘ytoorganize and
have a stated card of rates. ‘Don’t you see,’
he said, ‘that people who want autographs
somehow always come to the senate first, and
us fellows have been having a soft thing. We
have got 85 for getting names of twenty-six
senators, and have given the kids in the house
only$2for getting 325 names. When they
happen to catch on to a job they get the $5,
of course, and give us 82 for the senators'
autographs, but for every one book they get
we get a dozen, and they kicked about it. So
we had to agree to .pay them as much as we
got ourselves. They won’t touch a book for
less than 85. There wasa kid in the house
who out under them and got some names not
long ago for 83, but when the other boys
found it out they got hold of the book and
tore out the leaves. They boycotted him,
don‘t you seei"—Washington Cor. New York

' Do Brena the Explorer.
I have had occasion to meet Stanley's
"French'rival, Savorgnan de Brazen, and have
been struck by the extraordinary contrast
which the two men offer in their general
bearing. Not only is De Brazza as tall and
slim as Stanley is short and broad, not only
is one as dark as the other is now gray, but
the difierence‘in their deportment and char-
acters is so great that it is really worth point
ing out. No man in the world could welcome
a journalist more courteously than De Brazza.
There is a perpetual smile in his eyes, which
seem as a reflection of those Italian skies under
which, I believe, he was born. His tall,
supple frame bends condescendingly on the
appearance of an interviewer. He is ready
at once not only to reply to any amount
of questions, but even to suggest: them, and
his answers are always given in a soft, musical
tone, which caresses the ear as awarrn, south-
erly breeze.
Strange to say, however, as soon as Mr.
Reporter has vanished, quite charmed, from
De Brazza’s presence, he finds out that the
French, or rather Italian, explorer has with-
held from him all information of real inter-
est, it having happened that the wily gentle-
man was desperately chewing his cigarette,
and thereby mufih'ng his words, each time he
was letting some cat out of the b. g .for Mr.
Reporter’s benefit. Stanley, after a short
moment of apparent coldness and stiffness,
lays his pipe down and opens his mind with
an absolutely American frankness, fesrlms-
no. and sincerity. The whole difference lies
there. De Brazza, unlike the hero of Lafon-
taine's fable, resembles a sheet of iron paint-
ed green, like a reed, on the surface; whereas
Stanley is the reed which seems unbending at
firstsight because it is painted over in iron
hose—Brussels Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean.
