P The Salon. The Frerich academy- was' originally: & junction of the drawing rooms of the Marquise de Rambbuiliet and: her’ duughter, Julle d'Angennes, Duchesse @e Montausier. The salon as a meet- ing place for conversation and the pro- duction of beaux esprits and writers hardly existed before these ladies opened that of the Hotel de Rambouil let. Prior to this social event women of tiptop quality and rich bourgeoises received their company in their bed- rooms. There was nothing answering to the English parlér or the Italian ball of conversation. The bed, as in the sleeping room of Louis XIV., was surrounded by a balustrade; outside of which gentlemen who had dropped in_ to visit remained standing. It would have been shockingly unmannerly of them to step over the barrier. The lady of the house, dressed i her best dishabille, sat on the edge of the bed. Ladies calling’ went within the balus- trade and sat on folding stools, or has- socks, according to rank and age. Mme. de Lafayette painted from life in describing In “La Princesse de Cleves” a conversation on love, in which the dauphiness took the lead, reclining on her bed.—London Truth. Guilty Anyway. The most striking instance of a van- ished man coming again to light to take part in legal proceedings is that which occurred in a case where Dan- iel O’Connell was defending a man in- dicted for murder. The case for the prosecution seemed as clear as pos- sible, and O’Connell contented himself with fewer questions than were to have been expected of so eminént a cross examiner. When the case for the crown had closed he announced that he had but one witness ‘to call, but that witness was important to the case. He was the murdered man, very much alive. There was no doubting the man’s identity—everybody: knew it. The judge therefore turned to the jury and directed them to acquit the prisoner. To his amazement, however, they returned a verdict of gullty. Asked for an explanation, the foreman observed that they had no doubt that the priSoner was innocent of the mur- der. “But,” he added, “we find him guilty of sthealing my ould gray mare three weeks ago.” Who He Was. The “cub” reporter is the greenest reporter on the staff of a newspaper. ‘When anything particularly stupid happens on the paper he is the one first to be accused, and he is usually rightly accused: The only salvation for him is to improve, which he does in nine cases out of a dozen. The Bos- ton Journal told recently of an amus- ing “break” of a wholly innocent na- ture which a certain cub made. The reporter had been sent to a sub- urb to report a sermon. He arrived late, near the close of the service and took a seat near the door. When the last hymn was over he asked his neigh- bor, an elderly gentleman: “What was the text of the sermon?”’ “‘Who art thou?” answered the parishioner. “Boston reporter,” replied the other. The man smiled. Subsequently he told the preacher, who next Sunday told the congregation—at the cub’s ex- pense. Jewelry Store Romances. A wedding ring whose scratched and dulled surface bespoke years of hard service at washtub and dishpan lay on the jeweler’s work table. “Why has it been laid up for re- pairs?”’ a visitor asked. “Has marriage proved a failure?” “On the contrary, it has turned out a great success, and the ring has been brought back to bear witness,” said the jeweler. *“See this new inscrip- tion, ‘Ten years of fidelity and love’ That sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? No failure there. Five or ten years from now, if they are both alive, some- body will probably add another post- script, and so on at regular intervals to the end of the chapter. Jewelers meet more of these little romances than the unsentimental person would dream of.”—New York Sun. No Right to Live. Beggar—Won’t you give me some money, professor? My money Is all gone, and I can’t live. Professor—How old are you? " Beggar—Forty years, sir. Professor—Forty yéars! Don’t you know that according to the latest mor- tality tables the average age of the male population of Europe reaches only thirty-four years and five months? Statistically you have no right to live any longer anywayl—Meggendorfer Blatter. ! Two Faults. | “You hunt too much,” said Louis XV. to the archbishop of Narbonne. “How can you prohibit your curates from hunting if you pass your life in setting them such ‘an’example?” “Sire,” said Dillon, “for my curates the chase is a fault; for myself it is the fault of my ancestors.” | Politeness. | Politeness is a‘sort of guard which covers the rough edges of our character and prevents them from wounding oth- ers. We should never throw it off even in our conflicts with coarse peo- oL | Capacity Diminishing. | Mrs. Guzzler—Aren’t you ashamed to ,come home in this condition? Mr. Guzzler—Mortifled to death, my dear. 1 find my capacity 'isn’t what it used to be.—Philadelphia Record. Mirth is too often but melancholy in " @isgulse.—Leigh Hunt, Ready Demonstration. A “Do you think you ‘can make my daughter happy?’ asked Miss Thirsty- smith’s father gravely. “Why, 1 have already. haven’t I?" replied Spooner. “I've asked her ‘to marry me.”—Smart Set. His Lost Leg. A mendicant approached a man on the cars the-other day and said, “Dear sir, 1 hdve' lost'my teg,” ‘to which the man replied, as he hurried away, “My dear friend, 1 am very sorry, but I have not seen anything of 1t Sy 3 — e ...
