A Famous K itchiv ""It was our gwod fortune to see at feast ooe thins in Paris which th -tourist knows nothing about," writes a American woman from that city. "Every one kaows about the Tuileries and sees what is left of the historic pile, but not many find their way to the kitchen from which the elect of the third empire were served, as we 1KL It lies under the Pavlllou de Klora. its high arched ceiling resting o massive eolunis.

The prominent citizen and favorite son sat at his desk, deeply Immersed la the cares of his wide affairs. A ie legation of party leaders was ushered in. """Sir." said the spokesman, "you have Ibecn unanimously chosen as tbe party's candidate for governor of the state. Under present conditions a nomination a tantamount to election, and we urge 7ur acceptance. The office seeks the Gentleuieu. said the favorite son. "1 am profoundly impressed by the fconor done me. but before I accept 1 ust consult my wife. 1 never take a efcclsive step without consulting my wife." The committee bowed and withdrew. At home the favorite son confided tbe circumstances to his wife, who lis tened with fond pride and wifely ad miration. 'And now, he said In conclusion. what would you advise me to do?" ""John." she said, "you must get your trimmed." Savannah News. Unci Sam's Eagie. The eagle is the kiug of birds, the sard of the sky. the lravest. noblest anil most independent of the feathered tribe, and protabiy that is tbe reason why he was adopted as our national bird. Ills Image holds its place uou w national coat of arms by silver lit and not merely from empty -sentiment. Tbe nolrie bird, loving liberty, scorning confinement, at home and at his best only when invested erilh the wide freedom of tbe glorious Ikeavens. is the fit emblem of tbe "spirit of 7J" and of the government that that spirit wou :nd established -a the earth. Other peoples entertain tbe same high upiutou of tbe eagle, since from the time of the institution af the Rouian staudard straight down to the present day he has apeared as a conspicuous figure u the heraldry of natious. New York Auienean. Too Pretty a Lake For That. "China gave me many a shock." said tbe returned traveler, "hut tbe oae that early carried me off was aduiiu;stered in tbe Kociau district. Out iu the country I came across a beautiful little take drained by a beautiful little river. Tbe sceuerj was marred somewhat, aowever. by signs stuck up every few .yards at the edge of the lake.

I b England ayd in the United States j a woman loses her identity in mar ! riage. In Belgium and Spain the hus 1 band adds the name of his wife to his own. In tbe United States women s sometimes retain the family name, as ' Mrs. Harriet (Reeeben Stowe. In the Channel islands the woman never tosm her maiden name. Iu Spain the ;-2iHdren write the names of hntn : parents, as Llarena y Xionteverde. In "' "Don Quixote" is the following: ' "Casajo was my father's name, and 1. fcr being the wife of Sancho Panza. ; a ci called Teresa Pauza. but by good r!ght they ought to call me Teresa Casajo. In Scotland both names are I preserved, and the vruman is always ' known by her maiden name. In Wales i it is the custom to describe the woman by her maiden name. The fact that a woman on becoming the wife of a man loses her identity is apparent in many portions of the Bible, when under tbe ancient custom man. on taking a wife, declared that sbe be came "flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood." thereby establishing the old time saying that man and wife are one. Richmond Times-Dispatch. Tyranny of tho Tip. There have always been those who have revolted against the tyranny of the tip. So long ago as October. 1793. we find that ubiquitous personage. "Constant Reader. venting his griev ances in the columns of tbe London Times. "If a man who has a horse puts up at an inn." be complains, "be sides the usual bill he must at least j give Is. to the waiter. Cd. to the ebnm- fcermaid. Gd. to the hostler and lid. to the jackboot, making together 2s. ed. ' At breakfast you must give at least (id. between the waiter and hostler. If i the traveler only puts up to have a refreshment, besides paying for his i horses standing he must give 3d. to tbe hostler; at dinner !d. to the waiter and j$d. to the hostler: at tea 6d. between j them; so that be gives away in the day i 2s. 6d which, added to the 2s. 6d. I for the night, makes 5s. per day on an : average to the servants." They did 1 the thing pretty thoroughly In those ' days. J A Millionaire, j The term "millionaire" is of inter j national use. but it does not mean the j same thing in the mouths of different j nations. To. every one it means the possession of a million, but not neces I Barfly a million dollars. In Great j Britain a millionaire has a million pounds, or nearly So.OuO.000. while tn France they count francs, so ! that there a millionaire is a conipara ! tively poor individual with but $200.- 000 to bless himself with. Million- aires are quite common in Prussia. but a million marks don't mean j much these days, amounting to a trifle I of $250,000 in our money. For mil- Monaires of real class it is necessary : to go back to old Babylon. Tbe Baby , Ionian millionaire had 1 .000.000 talents ! and would not be regarded as a poor . man even by a Wall street office boy. A talent was about $2,000. and a mil lion of them would be $2,000,000,000. A Triple Play. It was at the end of the ninth In ning. Yet. though the home team was two runs to the good, things looked black for them. The visitors were at bat. There were no outs, and three men were on bases; also Terrible Terry Tomkins was up. and Terry's batting average reached the clouds. Terry hunched his shoulders and waited confidently, and a groan went up from the bleachers. The ball flew in three pieces, and the pieces Hew in three directions. One was caught by the pitcher, one was pulled out of the air by the shortstop, and ooe landed in tbe first baseman's mitt. A triple play: The game was the home team's. The bleachers went wild. lhiladel phia Times. Breaking It Gently. "I have called, sir. to see the photo of the lady with $25,000 who wants a husband."

The game was carried on in great mystery and absorbed all the interest and at tention of the players. They had an enemy who was to be "done for." aad whoever lost the game was to "do" him. Whfn the game was over the loser acci-pted the result without dis cussion. Not long afterward a work man was stabbed fatally as he was coming out of a dance hall. The man who had stabbed him quickly disap peared, and the workman was placed in a cab and driven to an address which he had given. . This was in a certain street where a sister of his was living. The man was barely able to get out of the cab and to explain that he had been stabbed. His case was so serious that he was conveyed to a hospital and died a few hours later. The police then made an inquiry and learned how the murder was delib erately decided upon and savagely executed. The workman himself did not know that his life was staked on a game of billiards. Paris Cor. Lon don Telegraph. Scotch Accent Too Much For Him. The only real blot on my visit to Glasgow, says a writer in the London Sketch, is my total inability to speak with a Scottish accent. I rather pride myself, as most people d jk on my vocal imitative faculties, but confess to all the world here and now that I can not imitate the Scottish accent. My Irish is beautiful; it would make all Dublin weep. My American is quite good: I could nearly always get any thing that I wanted in the shops if 1 had the money. Anybody can talk Welsh who cares to substitute "p" for "b" and "f" for "ra." But the Scot tish accent eludes me. Sometimes I speak a little Scottish, tentatively, to the policeman or the tram conductors or the shopkeepers. The policemen draw their staves, the tram conductors stop their trams, and the shopkeepers put up their shutters. I am not quite sure, but I rather think that I shall abandon the unequal struggle. She Was Persistent. A huge package once reached Sir Walter Scott from a young lady in America for which he had to pay $25 expressage. It contained a manuscript play and a letter from the fair author requesting Scott to read and correct her work, write a prologue and an epilogue, arrange for its production at Drury Lane and negotiate with a pub lisher for the copyright. That was bad enough, but worse was to follow. About a fortnight later arrived another mighty packet, charged with a similar postage. Scott; who had not grown wiser by experience, paid the charges and opened the parcel. Out came a dupli cate copy of the play and a second letter from the authoress, stating that as the weather had been, stormy and she feared something might have hap pened to her former manuscript she had thought it prudent to send him a duplicate. How Centipedes Walk. An eminent authority has investigat ed the peculiar wavy motion of centi pedes and millepedes to determine the manner in which these animals man age to use their superabundant pedal extremities so gracefully and harmo niously. It has been found that the legs move iu groups or waves, each wave including a definite number of legs. The number of waves included tn the length of the body is constant for each species. In millepedes the waves of each side are synchronous. In centipedes they are symmetically alternate, giving rise to beautifully ac cordant movements. The difference may be explained by suggesting that the millepede moves like a pacing horse, the centipede like a trotter. Chicago Reeord-Herald- A Pleasant Surprise. A young man in Indianapolis felt his heart sink as he pulled from his mail box a letter of the wedding in vitation type. That was the fifth he had received this season, and he had begun to wonder whether he had any friends left in the single state. "Another five dollar bill busted to smash." he mourned. Then he opened the envelope. But it was only the announcement of a wed ding that had taken place the week before. And he found in th same cover a check for Sa lt was theu that he recalled a bet made with a friend years before. The conditSous were that the one first mar ried should pay the other Indian apolis News. And Upside Down at That.

Among the engravings that adorned the walls of a Toledo woman's home was one big one of the leaning tower of Pisa. One morning, shortly after the advent of a new maid, the mis tress of the house noticed that tha picture of the tower . hung crooked She straightened tt and said nothing of the matter to the new servant, who had evidently shifted it while dusting. The next day the picture was again crooked; the same thing happened the next day and the next. Finally, one morning, chancing to be In the room where the picture was. the mistress said to the maid as she dusted: "Mary, you've hung that picture of the tower crooked. Just look at i." "That's what I say. mum." returned the domestic "look at it! The only way I can git that blamed tower :o hang straight Is to bang the .ir crooked.- Upplncott'a. Country With Only One Bank.

Moody's Maga- Gem of Ancient Architecture. The Oratory of Gallerus, situated n the Dingle promontory in Kerry, is probably the oldest place of Chris tian worship in the United Kingdom. It is unique in Its architecture, for It was built without mortar, and the arch was formed direct from the ground level by the peculiar placing of the stones. In the east gable is the only window in the building, while inbjie west is the small doorway. The building, which is now one of the na tional monuments of the Emerald isle, has recently been restored to perfect condition. International Marriages.
