in vogue in the state courts, but tho short

f;f English origin. The former lire still
worn by her iiinJii.tyV Judges on slain ou
Uixlous, hiiIiiIh' days, coronation days, thn
niircn'h birthday, eto.; thn latter nro usiil
during tho conduct of regular legal liusl
ness. Illnck gowns, Indeed, are little
morn than the court weeds of a former
((cncratlnn, "The lx-ncli and bar went Into
mourning nt the death of Queen Anne, and
have mourned ever since." Tho bauds
nro tho only slgnlllcanL things about the
dress. They are supposed to Iki emblem
atic of thn two tables of thu law.
Just now thu legal fraternity of (Jreat
llrltaln Is trying tocoinpel achaiige. They
want to go out of mourning and don on
work ilajs the bright garments reserved
for public celebrations. They sigh for thn
coloring that made gorgeous thu tribunals
of thu sixth Henry. Then thu Judges held
court in scarlet. The gowns of thu masters
in chancery were mustard colored, of the
sergeants blue and green, ami of tho bar
risters green and light blue.
At present, also, there is a movement on
foot hostile to tho Is-ard, Thu no called
"reformers" declare that no self respecting
Judge or advocate, should appear lu court
with hair on his face. It Is lo Imi ho'ictl
that this sort of opinion may not spread to
tho United States, for possibly, under Its
Influence, Mr. Justice Fuller might deem
It necessary to sacrifice the white miifttai.lio
which Is tho glory of his upper lip. Just
why an agitation of this sort has begun It
Is not easy to determine. Throughout tho
ages the Ward has licoii the symbol of wis
dom and of matured manhood, It is hard
to Imagine a patriarch or prophet uolng
about with a smooth chin and a razor in
the folds of his gown, and far Iwyond the
bounds of fancy to picture Plato or Socra
tes in a barlier's chnlr.

spoke of tho 'bearded ones,' their ancestors,
with a peculiar reverence." Tho dude of
those days was called n "mere shaver,"
nnd subjected to derisive queries lis to
whether "nature In his case had nuE'nndo
u mistake and turned out a man Ins'fend of
a woman." The clean Jawed Normans on
landing In Knglaud were described to his
fellows by a wandering Saxon spy.ns nu
"army of monks." Afterward thu con
quered race induced the invaders to grow
beards, and by Elizabeth's day the train
ing of whiskers had become a lino art of
barberdom, ns witness tho following ex
tract from the writings of a contempo
raneous Kjet:
Bomo llko a spade, soaio llko a forkd, somo

It may meet a set back lu tho whirl of
changes Incident to western civilization,
but that can bo only temporary. At any
rate, even If English law and court olllcers
elect to wear motley, big wigs and smooth
faces, thu probability is small that this
curious cyclone of "reform" will reach
America and sweep tho hair from Mr. Jus
tice Fuller's Up, or substitute aught wore
striking for the customary suits of solemn
black in which ho and his associates sit to
hear, to weigh and to decide momentous
questions of fact and Justice.

Among tho fentures for tho World's fair

enterprise itself, will lie calculated to mako

1'alley rand, the great French politician
and ftatcsmau, whose memoirs are Just be
ing published, sixty years after his death,
established a reputation ns the wit pre
eminent of France, whoso bon mots am
popularly quoted for their sharpness, and
Ids maxims for their Intrinsic value and
beauty. y birth lie wits the Cointo do
I'crlgonl, but on account of an accident lu
youth that lamed
I1I111 for life it was)
decided In family
council to convey
the 1 1 1 1 u to a
younger brother,
so the lawful hulr
was consecrated to
thu church, and In
duo time liccaino
aiinblie. It was to
ward the closu of
the relun of Ixiitls
TAM.KYHANI). XV that the gay,
witty nnd prolllgato young nblw was In
troduced into higher Parisian society. He
said Ids first recollection of the king was
seeing him seated nt table between a bishop
ami a courtesan,
Thu llrst witticism of which tliero Is
record Is perhaps tho liest play on words of
any credited to him, Iu a controversy
with a young Norman ofllccrtho latter told
him he had yet many things to learn, add
ing, "Perhaps you have not yet been to
school." To which Talleyrand replied, "I
havo been to school and have learned my
letters, and know that mi ablio (A II) Is
not mado to codur (0 D), and 'tis not your
epeo (K P) can mako mo otcr (O T)," thus
making a most skillful play on eight let
ters of the alphalsit.
It was this 'retort, reported to Mine, dtt
Deffaud, thu blind but brilliant queen of
tho salons, that won for Talleyrand a sum
mons to her presence, and when he had
bowed before her, that sho might pass her
hand over his face mid so fix his features
Iu her mind, sho said: "Arise, young man.
Nature tins been lavish of her gifts, nnd
your own foresight will render you Inile
IH'iideiit of thosu of fortune."
Once Talleyrand was talking with Mine,
dtt Harry, the favorite of thu king, and
she urged him to relate some adventure of
gallantry. "Ah, inadatne," ho said, with
affected seriousness, "Paris is a placo
where It is easier to succeed in gallantry
than to get a benefice." This truth pleased
the madame, and through her Inlluenco
tho king bestowed on Talleyrand tho rev
enues of two abln-ys.
One day he was seated between the
brilliant Mine, do Stael and thu lsiautlful
Mine. Hecamier. The former pressed him
to say which ho would save if both were
drowning. JIo could not evade tho ques
tion, aud at last replied, "Ah. madame,
you know how to swim."
Another day another gentleman was sit
ting between the same ladles. "Here am
I," ho said, addressing Talleyrand, "be
tween Intellect and beauty." "Yes," snid
Talleyrand, "and without possessing
either."
To a friend who annoyed him by persist
ent praises of a lady at one of the salons,
who was dressed in tlio extreme of the
fashion of those lllieral days, he said: "Yes,
sho Is very beautiful, but as for her dress,
It begins too late and ends '.oo soon."
H was Talleyrand who, having remon
strated in vain with Napoleon against his
invasion of Spain, when thu emperor said,
"The war with Spain will only Iks a break
fast for me," retorted, "I fear your majesty
will bo long at table."
On another occasion, when they had had
a sharp controversy over a political ques
tion, and Napoleon had been more than
usually abusive, Talleyrand exclaimed.
"What a pity that so great a man should
havo been so 111 brought upl" a most skill
ful mingling of flattery and rebuko. He
Ing vexed by a cross eyed man with severnl
Importunate questious concerning his own
lame leg he replied, "It Is quite crooked,
as you see."
At another time an English nobleman
who had addressed him frequent requests
for his autograph received it In tho follow
ing manner: "Dear Sir Will you oblige
me with your company to dinner Wednes
day nt 8 o'clock. I havo Invited a number
of exceedingly clever persons, and do not
llko to bo tho only fool among them."
Napoleon once said rather Irreverently
of his father-in-law, the emperor of Aus
tria, "Francis is an old granny." Mario
Louise turned to Talleyrand, "Monsieur
Talluyrnnd, wlmt does thnt mean, an old
granny?" The cunning diplomatist an
swered seriously, "It means, madame, n
venerable sage."
It was almut tho time thnt tho celebrity
of Chateaubriand began to wane that the
famous man grew deaf. This Infirmity
being ulluded to, Talleyrand said, "I un
derstand; since thoy havo ceased talking
about Chateaubriand he thinks himself
deaf."
"I have turned many a woman's head,"
boasted a conceited young French noble
man. "Yes," replied Talleyrand, "awny from
you."
To a bald aud antiquated French beau
who wished to purchase somo rare gift for
a lady, ho said, "Give her one of the hairs
of your head."
When Madamo do Stael published her
celebrated novel, "Delphlne," shu is sup
posed to havo painted herself in tlio person
of the heroine aud Talleyrand In that of
an elderly lady, ono of the principal char
acters. "They tell mo," said he to her,
"that we are tho only two persons in your
romance who nro disguised us females."
