Commenting on the new illustrated edition of the Innocents Abroad,” the Pall Mall Gazette says ‘The issue of this convenient and freely illus- trated edition of what is perhaps Mark Twain’ best known, if not his best, book seems to demand a word or two of notice. We have seen Mark Twain called the ‘moderna Rabeiais,’ and the expression is a curious instance of the reck- lessness, not to say the ignorance, of eriticism now-a-days. Mark Twainis doubtlessan amu writer, and his book is an amusing book, but ‘modern Rabelais’ is, as his countrymen would say, a large order. This book is about a dozen years old. and already it will hardly bear a second, much less a third, reading. its burlesque is seen to be forced and conventional: its jok mere newspaper cliches, dependent at the best of times on temporary vogue for any piquancy they can have possessed.and forthe most part as duil tasay as yesterday's soda-water. Every point is labored and worried till it will bear no more. Contrast. this with the unquenchable flow of Rabelaisian humor; the ever-new wealth of it flung out as trom a king’s treasury and thought no more about; the abiding charm which hi: outlasted three centuries; the solid wisdom un- derlying the jest; the unlabored fantasy, the graye naturalness of its extravazance. “There are two points of parallel between Rabelais and Mark Twain.and no more. The one is that both use deliberate exaggeration, and, so to spea! multiplication, as a source of humor; and the other that both occasionally drop the mask and speak for a few minutes from the heart. pthing can be farther from our h than to speak disrespectfully of Mr. Clemens. His thorough healthiness of tone, the absence of humbug about him, the outspoken condemna- tion of what he thinks wrong or absurd in his own countrymen, the vigorous common sense of much that he writes, and occasionally the real fun of his extravagance, makes one forgive | a good deal of strained and stale joking—nay, eyen the hideous vulgarity of such things as his version of ‘The Seven Sleepers.’ But Mr. Clemens should pray to be saved from his friends.” Prince Krapotkine’s Escape. Prince Krapotkine, who has recently arrived in London from Switzerland, and who has ac- quired no little notoriety as one of the cham- years Prince Krapotkine was, after he had en- dured terrible sufferings, removed to the in- aera above ground.

The Empress Eugenie, says a London corre- | Spondent, occupies a furnished house, No. 28 Prince’s gate, Hyde park, until such time as her beautiful country chateau at Farnsborough shall be read, A la bonne heure? Here is a house in which everyone is very much alive, indeed. The imperial coat-of-arms, in all its pristine splendor, emblazoned on an elegant landau, which stands waiting to take the mistress for her dri hand- some cabs, rattling up with Lusy gentlemen every other minute; an arriving victoria, drawn by two splendid bays, carryinz two English girls, who leave cards; Gen. . seated at an upper window, writing away for dear life ap- parently lost in the mazes of English house- Keeping accounts. The first day of the em- press’ installation the Prince of Wales called on her, and stayed quite a hal/ hour, a long time for amorning call. The house has no special arel tectural features, being merely one or a group of tall, five-story gray stone residences, But the | outlook is charming, The whole of Hyde park like a garden beneath the front win- mild November days the windows are open, as in summer, and the breath of autumn verdure flats jupon the misty. air, an — atmosphere | beautiful in it like a richly-tinted opal. | And, oh, housek ! You should just haye | a look at Eugenie’s parlor curtains, and, indeed, | those which adorn ail the front windows of this house, which she has made her temporary home. ; Such lace! To have one curtain for a ball dress | would be to be attired like a princess of fairy | lace-looms. You get tie practical housekeep- | ing side of being an empress when you see such costly curtains hung from basement to garret of the abode wherein she resides. Eugenie’s household is still. conducted with considerable state. Besides the gentlemen and ladies who | surround her and form asort of remnant of a court, she has thirteen house servants, and | many others for the grounds and stables when in her country homes. I understand she still talks of removing “ther dead” from Chiselhurst, and erecting imperial monuments to them at. Farnborough. Her objection to the place of their repose at Chiselhurst is based on the | Catholic dislike of a northern exposure for the dead, and her inability to purchase a southern lot from an obstinate land-owner, who refused to dispose of his ground to “an idolator, would not even allow the queen to shake anti-Romanist objections, has been the e his real T have met her several times driving in the park. Poor Eugenie! She is still a splendid looking woman, and bears herself as if yet every inch a queen, though her throne has crumbled into dust, and all her nearest and dearest have vanished to the Cimmerian shades. ‘The Glasgow Industrial Schoo! Scandal. In regard to the alleged ill-treatment of little girls in the industrial schools of Glasgow the Scotsman says: ‘The evidence taken by the directors has not yet been made public, but some details which have been published reveal cases of shocking ill-treatment.

The girl was taken into the laundry with ouly her under- othes on, and held by the assistant inatron and agirl while the matron flogged Park with the awse. The girl's garments got twisted in the struggle, and, it is stated, came off, leaving her naked during most of the time the punish- ment was being inflicted. After the flogging the girl was put under the spray bath ‘to cool her down and revive her.’ Miss Wallace, the matron, on being questioned as to this af- fair, said the girl after this was put upon a mat- and placed in the surgery, being unable to state how many days she was kept there.

She taught the girl a little Prayer, and then prayed with her.

Thereafter France saw beard: all sorts—long, short, round, pointed, square, braided, woven with gold thread, spangled with | pearis—until the era of shaven chins was closed by Francis I. and the iniluence of the | Renaissance.

Under Henry IV. square beards ruled, and Louis XIII. fayored a small imperial, with curled moustaches. The mouche was in | fashion under Louis XIV., but little or no beard, | and the razor was used relentlessly under the | next two kings, the republie, the directory and | the restoration. Charles V. followed Pope j Julius's lead into the ranks of beard-wearers, while Philip V., being unable to raise a beard | himself, discouraged the wearing of beards by | his courtiers, who lamented that with their beards had goue their souls. “‘All the gold in the world,” said the brave Portuguese admiral, Juan de Castro, to the mayor of Goa, “cannot | equal this natural ornament of my valor,” and he pointed to one of his luxuriant whiskers, and the mayor was so deeply impressed that he lent | him a thousand pistoles on the pledge thereof. | England generally followed the fashion set by | France. Though one of the poets has celebrated the beard of Henry VIII. and declared that “ 4 well-thatched face is comely grace, And a shelter from the coli.” that monarch published an edict against beards, ;and Elizabeth ordained that every beard of | above a fortnight’s growth should pay an annual tax of three-and-four-pence, a feature borrowed by Peter the Great. who taxed the beards ot his | peasant subjects a copeck a year and charged | wealthier ones a hundred roubles, say #70. On | the Continent. magistrates, grave burghers and | other wor folk had long made a practice of wearing “beards of formal cut” opposed to the regnant court fashion, whatever that happened to be, and when the civil war broke out under | Charles I. the hair became the distinguishing i-mark of the factions. The beard of the period was worn sharply peaked ina triangular form, | and pastel cases were employed to cover | them during sleep; a man of fashion gave more | time to his beard than one does nowadays to | his hair, and even had his reader to beguile the | tedium ‘of arranging it. Taylor, the Water Poet, gives it roundly to the “ereat vanity” of beards in that tune. when a barber exultantly jeried, as he finished off the court preacher, There!
