It may not be generally known in what clrcumstances Halevy owed his advancement in the French civil sery- {ce to the Duc de Morny. The duke, an amateur of the arts, had begun to write the libretto of a comlc opera of which Offenbach was to provide the musie.| He found that he had not the time—or perhaps that he had not the talent—to finish it. He sought a collaborator, and Halevy came to the rescue and kept his secret. When, therefore, the office of the ministry of Algeria, which he held, was suppressed he had no hesita- tion in asking his august patron for the post which he sought on the Journal Officlel. “The very thing!” exclaimed the duke. “There is six months’ vaca. tlon when the chamber is not sitting, 80 that you will have plenty of time to write for the stage.”” And he gave him a note to the head of the depart- ment, consisting of the simple words, “Make arrangements to give the bearer the post for which he will ask you.”’— ‘Westminster Gazette. Nor a Hospital- Either. “Talking of our British cousins?” in- quired the tax attorney of the South- ern Pacific. “Well, I heard one the other day. Big fat Britisher shoved into one of those compartments at the last moment. There was an American in there reading his newspaper. " “‘It's sixty miles to my station,’ re- marked the Englishman, ‘and, I say, old chap, I'm treating myself for a ‘wounded foot, and I say, if you don’t mind, I'll put some of this fodoform on my ankle. Beastly smelling stuff!” “‘Go ahead,’ sald the American. But when he got the full odor of it he shoved up a window and pulled out a cigar and lighted It and began puffing away vigorously. “‘Here, here, my good fellow,’ pro- tested the Englishman, ‘this is mno| smoking compartment! ”—San Fran- clsco Chronicle. T Precious Stones ‘and “Paste.” Glass, or “paste,” as It is ealled, 1s made which. cannot when new be dis- tinguished from dlamonds by any one but an expert armed with the neces- sary tests. And the same s true as to paste imi- tations of all precious stones excepting the emerald (whose beautiful green tint cannot be exactly obtained), the cat's eye, which has a pecullar fibrous | structure, and the opal. The real value and quallty of precious stones as com- pared with glass depend on their dura- bility, their bardness, their resistance to scratching and “dulling” of face and edge. Even our Anglo-Saxon ancestors made gems of glass and paste. It is only in modern times that the art of making artificial “precious stones” has reached a degree of perfection which, so far ao decorative purposes are con- cerned, leaves the natural stones no claim to superiority.—London Tele- graph. Official Precedence. The Chicago Inter Ocenn tells of the daughter of a well known representa- tive who on her tenth birthday had a party, and one of the guests was the daughter of a senator. The birthday cake shone gloriously with ten candles. A few weeks later the senator's daughter reached her eighth milestone, and a party was in order. Just before the guests arrived the small celebrant betook herself to the dining room to take a look at the festal board. High. on lts pedestal of crystal stood the { birthday cake, und circling its- snowy clreumference were eight tiny candles, one for each year. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven —eight!” ejaculated the small hostess. | “Mamma, mamma, please come here | quick.
