Paris has forgotten the time when it used to go in terror ofthe wolyes which carried off women and children from the streets and even raided the graveyards. At one time they became so mad with desire for human flesh that in a single week they -devoured fourteen persons, all between Mont- martre and the gate of St. Antoine. On the vigil of St. Martin (says Grace James in-“Joan of Arc”) there was hunted and taken a horrible wolf, “which it was sdid had done more, and more’ cruelly, than many others put together. That day he was killed. He had no tail, and from that he was called Courtaut. There was as much talk about him as if he had been an outlaw of the woods or a cruel cap- tain, and when he lived folk said to one another as they went forth to la- bor in the fields, ‘Look out for Cour- taut.’. And on this day he was taken through Paris in a cart, dead, with his great jaws open, and all the peo- ple went to see, and they made holi- day and rejoiced, because Courtaut could trouble them no more.” Rented Wedding Cakes. There was something wrong with the cake, the baker said. It looked all right, and it-smelled all right, but his artistic sense told him it would not taste all right. “Then fix it up with an extra coat of icing and we will keep it for a renter,” said the proprietor. “Who in the world would rent a cake?” some one asked. “Wedding parties,” said he. “They want a big cake in the center of the table for show, but a cake of that size good enough for a wedding would cost more than they can afford to pay, so they order fine cake put up in individ- ual boxes for the guests and use the bride’s-cake just as an ornament. They don’t buy it; they rent it. Sometimes a cake is rented a dozen different times. After each wedding it is fresh- ened up with 3 new coat of icing and looks as good as new for the next oc- casion. A good renter fetches about $3 a wedding.”—New York Press. Sarcastic Cabby. A certain nobleman, who may be called Lord X., bhears the reputation of being somewhat stingy in money matters. On a wet afternoon he hired a cab to take him to Victoria station. Arrived at the station, he handed the cabman a shilling and of course was met by the inevitable demand for an extra sixpence. “Certainly not,” said the other promptly. “You came the longest way as an excuse to extort money. Why didn’t you go through St. James’ park?” The cabman saw he had no chance and said sneeringly: “Cos St. James’ That's why.” “Nonsense,” said the other sternly. “It’s right, though,” was the grave reply. “They say that Lord X. dropped a shilling coming across the park last evening, and the gates are closed until they find it.”—London Tit-Bits. park. is closed. Shut Her Up. A young wife was continnonels =-— & FOuRE Tiotner-fitaw about the way she was bringing up her firstborn babe. The young wife was intelligent and capable, and she was really doing very well with the baby. From her mother-in-law, however, she got noth- ing but sour advice, warnings and veil- ed abuse. One day the mother-in-law, looking fixedly at the mother with her baby on her lap, said angrily: “A woman has no right to have a child if she doesn’t know how to hold it.” “No, nor a tongue either,” was the quiet reply.—Detroit Free Press. Berlin. “Berle,” from which Berlin has caught her name, means uncultivated land. Slavonian Wends, the earliest settlers on the sandy plain, could make but little out of the soil. The popula- tion in 1832 was only 250,000. Less than forty years later it was 800,000, and now it runs into 2,000,000, The man who gave to Berlin its present form was Frederick IIL, but Frederick the Great and the Great Elector started the noble hobby of beautifying the wonderful city. . The Mantle of Charity. The lady was making some remarks about the kind of clothing some other ladies at church had on. “The finefit garment a woman can wear,” said her husband, “is the man- tle of charity.” “Yes,” she snapped, “and it is about the only dress, judging by the fuss they make over the bills, that some husbands want their wives to wear.” Sweden’s “Church Boat.” The “church boat” is a popular insti- tution in Sweden. It brings families to service from the farms around Lake Siljan to Leksand. The water route is the nearest and most convenient, and 80 the big boat goes from farm to farm along the shore picking up the church- goers, who later return by the same route.—Wide World Magazine. , Counting the Cost. “What's: the cost of a marriage li- cense?”’ asked a youth whose ta.ucy had lightly turned to thoughts of con- nubial felicity, “Well" answered his friend, “30 shil- Jings down and your entire salary each ‘week for the rest of your life!”—Lon- i| don Telegraph. Where Time Doesn’t Count. A party of En,st Ixidian natives were .found 'sitting in 'a ‘row. on the plat: form of o station after the ‘train haj left, and, being asked the reason, one of the men replied, “Oh, sahib, we are waiting till the tickets are cheaper.” | during his entire life and his amaze- /man, isn’t he?” ST Kingsley’s stlmmorlng. ‘Charles Kingsley loved talking, had an enormous deal to say on' every con- ceivable subject and longed to say it. But his stammer was always checking him. He gurgled and gaspéd and made faces and would sometimes break off in a conversation or a:meal, rush out-into the open air and liber- ate his suppressed emotions by rapid exercise or physical exertion.” Yet, as has often been observed in - similar cases, when he had to preach the stammer subsided. and, though there was some facial contortion, the .flow of the discourse was never interrupt- ed. He said to his friend Tom Hugfes: “I could be as great a talker as any man iu England but for my stammering.. When I am speaking for God in the pulpit or paying by bed- sides I never stammer. My stammer is a blessed thing for me. It keeps me from talking in company and from going out as much as I should do but for it.”—G. W. 'E. Russell in Winches- ter Guardian. Lisbon In Pepys’ Times. Pepys’ Diary gives an unflattering picture of the Lisbon court in his: day. On Oct. 17, 1661, he talked with Cap- tain Lambert, fresh from- “Portugall,” who told him it was ‘“a very poor, dirty place—I mean the city and court of Lisbon; * * * that there are no glass windows, nor will they have any; * % * that the king has his meat sent up by a dozen of lazy guards and in pipkins sometimes to his own table and sometimes nothing but fruits and now and then half a hen. And now that the infanta is become our queen she is come to have a whole hen or goose to her table, which is not ordi- nary.” Some few months later, when some ‘‘Portugall ladys” had come to London, Pepys found them *“not hand- some and their farthingales a strange dress. * * * [ find nothing in them that is pleasing, and I see they have learnt to kiss and look freely up and down already and I do believe will soon forget the recluse practice of their own country.” Opportunity. There is a story of a sculptor who once showed a visitor his studio, which was full of gods, some of them very curious. The face of one was entirely concealed by the hair, and there were wings on each foot. The visitor asked this statue’s name: “QOpportunity,” was the.reply. “And why is his face hidden?” “Because men seldom know him when he comes to them.” “Why, has he wings on his feet?” “Because he is soon gone and once gone can never be overtaken,” was the reply. We all know the story of the man who sold the old farm which he had barely been able to get a living from ment and chagrin when the new own- | er discovered gold upen the land thel first week of his ownership. A great many of us are in that very condition || with regard to our opportunities if we: did but know it.—Washington Star. Do ervd CUPS, f The dog doctor was making out a bill for the month’s expenses of a Japa- || nese spaniel. The items were room-{ rent, board. medical attendance and || electric light. “Blectric light?” exclaimed- his sec- retary. “What on earth does a dog need with electric light?" ‘“‘He doesn't need it at all,” said the doctor, “but his owner has ordered it, and he has been supplied with two eight-candle power lights every even-! ing he has been in the hospital. He is: one of those spoiled pups who were» put to bed in a light room in their in-: fancy, and now he cannot sleep in the dark. We always have two or three of that kind on hand. They occupy & || special ward where the lights burn all.|] night long.”—New York Sun. Collar as a Verb. The verb *collar” has long been used:|] transitively, meaning to *‘seize or take || hold of a person by the collar; more loosely, to capture.” The verb was || thus employed early in the seventeenth | century. Steele in the Guardian, No. 84, wrote, “If you advised him not to collar any man.” Other instances are Gentleman’s Magazine, 1762, “His lord- ship collared the footman who threw it,”” and Marryat's sentence in ‘*‘Peter Simple,” “He' was collared by two French soldiers.” A Tenant For Life. “Have you boarded long at this house?” inquired the new boarder of the sour, dejected man sitting next to him. “About ten years.” “I don’t see how you can stand it. Why haven’t you left long ago?” ' “No other place to go,” said the other dismally. “The landlady’s my wife.” i The Family Scrap Book.

FENNEL. = It Is to the Italians Somewhat as Cel- . ery ls to Ul. “"Disn't often that anItalian 'table d’hote furnishes anything that takes me back to my grandmother's time,” said a New York man, *‘but that was wy experience last night. The first nibble 0f sowething I’d supposed was celery sent my mind wandering back fifty years to an old New England vil- lage. ,*“‘Fennel ? 1 asked the Italian waiter. He nodded and smiled and gave me the Italian form of the .word, which I carefully wrote down on a scrap of paper, ‘Fennocchi.’ I suppose it showed my ignorance, but never before did I know that fennel is to the Italians | what celery is to us. Evidently. the large bases of the leafstalks are bleached in similar fashion. and from the way it was served 1 could see it was intended to be dipped in salt, as we eat celery. My obliging waiter told me that it was delicious as a salad and when boiled and served with cream sauce 1t made a popular Italian dish. . “But affer all what did those culi- nary details matter? What really counted was that strange. penetrating flavor which took me back to my child- hood. As 1 thoughtfully nlbblqd my fennel stalks the last fifty years seemed a blank. 1 was a child again, picking big ‘lusters of yellow. aromatic fqnnel seeds in.mmy grandinather’s gar- den.”—New York Sun.
