SALVE FOR THE SLAP
A Box on the Eur nnd a Box With n
Diamond Ornament
The following anecdote was written
autoblographlcally by Mine Feuillet
wife of the famous French writer At
the time of the incident she was a
young girl of seventeen living with
her parents in a provincial town of
which her father was mayor One
day news came that Louis Napoleon
Intended passing through and would
spend one night hi the town As may
or Mine Feuillets father had to ar
range the details of the reception and
festivals to be given In the emperors
honor while it- was agreed that his
daughter must present him with a bou
quet at the ball to be given in the even
ing
Father and daughter were pleased
enough but one person in the mayors
household suffered acutely Mme Feuil
lets mother was an ardent royalist
and to her the new imperial dynasty
appeared an intolerable usurpation
According to her daughter the ar
rangements for Napoleons arrival
pulled her two ways She was pleased
that her daughter should have been
chosen for prominence anxious that
her ball dress should be the most be
coming possible proud in her maternal
Instincts and at the same time exas
perated reluctant furious a royal re
ception should be given at all to a Jtnan
she considered an upstart and an ad
venturer The day came and the fu
ture Mme Feuillet with a string of
other young girls dressed in white was
placed along the line of procession
When it passed everybody shouted and
cheered and the girl carried away by
the excitement on every side of her
did the same Suddenly she felt a
burning stinging sensation upon one
cheek and before she could realize
what had happened she was being
dragged back out of the crowd by her
mother whose face was crimson and
whose eyes were blazing with anger
Then the girl understood Unable to
bear her own daughter joining the en
emy and crying out Long live Napo
leon she had publicly and furiously
boxed her ears and was now dragging
her ignominiously home like a child in
disgrace
The girl spent tho afternoon on her
bed sobbing with Hie shock and the
shame of what had happened The
great big bouquet for the evening
stood in a jug and perfumed her little
bedroom her snowy ball dress lay
spread over a chair She dressed final
ly feeling the savor gone out of life
but when from under an arch of flow
ers in the ball room she made her little
speech and presented her bouquet ex
citement returned to her Louis Napo
leon took them she thought somewhat
coldly and being very pretty as well
as seventeen the girl felt chilled and a
little inclined to go over to the political
views of her mother But the next
morning as Louis Napoleon was step
ping into his carriage to leave he asked
that she might be sent for When she
came he thanked her again for the
beautiful bouquet of bright flowers she
had given him the evening before
though they had not been more bright
than the lovely eyes above them and
in return he begged her to accept a
small remembrance of his pleasure and
gratitude The carriage left and the
girl opened the little case he had put
in her hands A beautiful diamond or
nament lay on a surface of white vel

The Story of a Hymn
The following is the story of how
the fapious missionary hymn From
Greenlands Icy Mountains came to
be written as related by LTebers biog
rapher George Smith It was Whit
sunday in the year 1S19 His father-in-law
the dean of St Asaph was
vicar of Wrexham and arranged to
preach the missionary sermon on the
day appointed On the Saturday
when preparing for the services the
dean asked his son-in-law to write
something for them to sing in the
morning The almost immediate result
was the composition as if by an in
spiration of what is still the greatest
hymn in the chief missionary language
of the race Retiring to a corner of
the room Heber at once wrote down
the first three verses beginning From
Greenlands icy mountains when the
dean called out What have you writ
ten Heber read over the lines when
the dean exclaimed There there that
will do very well No replied tho
poet the sense is not complete and
added the fourth verse He would
have gone on with a fifth but the
dean was inexorable to his request
Let me add another oh let me add
another And the hymn was sung
next morning in Wrexham church
Hidden Jewels
The quantity of turquoises that lie
hidden in jewelry combined with oth
er stones and with gold or by them
selves is so extensive in the cities of
eastern Europe that it is believed that
more of them are bought by gem mer
chants in this way than are at present
secured from the principal mines
This is not strange however for not
only turquoises but other precious
stones are known to exist in remark
ably large collections in Constantinople
as well as in cities in Turkestan Per
sia and communities of southeastern
Europe They are hidden away in gin
ger jars rugs old boxes and other re
ceptacles of the household where the
owner believes there is little prospect
of search being made for them Gem
collectors who have searched for stones
in this part of the world say that no
one can tell how many and what valu
able specimens are thus hidden away
only to be brought to light when the
owner Is absolutely forced to part with
them through dire necessity Undoubt
edly many a gem brought from the fa
mous mines of India Egypt and Per
slam has been thus secreted Peoples

Nurses Sometimes Show
Yes shes a good nurse doctor
Bald the patient rather reluctant-
You dont mean that was the an

matter with her Come tell me
Nothing began the faint contradic

could see it plainly yesterday when sho
sat between me and the wludow
The doctor did not speak for a mo
ment He did not even look surprised
Such a nice nurse too went on tho
patient Why should she do such a
foolish thing
It was then that she learned from the
doctor that dyed hair Is not nearly so
uncommon In the case of trained
nurses as might be supposed Sick peo
ple like to have young nurses about
them Even physicians have a weak
ness for the young nurses They be
lieve that their interest and enthusiasm
are greater
The nurses term of usefulness Is
short enough as it is this physician
said for the work Is so exhaustive that
they must soon succumb Some of
them are compelled to give up after
ten years Few are ever able to keep
up until they have put In twenty years
If they feel that gray hairs coming
perhaps a little earlier than they are
due are going to make the term of
their best days even briefer they are
driven to hiding those traces of time
and overwork by the use of hair dye
and the number that do make use of it
is very much larger than anybody sup

MAHOGANY
The Way This Beantirnl Wood Wan
Bronglit Into Fashion
Every one knows how effective and
handsome mahogany is when used for
good furniture but few of us know
how Its value was first discovered
In the latter part of the seventeenth
century a London physician had a
brother engaged in trade with the
West Indies who on one occasion
brought home several logs of mahoga
ny as ballast The doctor was building
a house and his brother suggested that
the logs would serve for ceiling beams
Acting on the proposal the doctor gave
orders to the workmen to make use of
the mahogany but their tools were not
equal to the task of cutting the hard
wood and the logs were put out of tho
way in a corner in the garden
Some time afterward the head car
penter tried to make a box from the
wood but was unsuccessful with ordi
nary tools He told the doctor who
was interested in the baffling timber
and ordered heavier tools to be made
to work it with says Home Notes
When this was done and a box at last
made and polished it was so handsome
that a bureau was made from another
of the despised logs and this was de
clared by experts to be so superior to
other furniture making woods that tho
craze for mahogany set in and furni
ture made from it became highly popu
lar the then Duchess of Buckingham
fostering the craze in the fashionable
world
A Sea Serpent Identified
Some forty years ago when out with
a boating party for seagull shooting I
espied a monster fish basking on the
surface of the water with its head well
up in the air The creature allowed us
to get within thirty yards when I sent
two charges of shot Into its head with
the result that it rolled over on its
back and our boat soon came up to it
It proved to be a large angel shark I
thought I would make quite sure it
was dead and sent two more charges
into its upturned belly I must have
unfortunately burst its air bladder for
it began slowly to sink Had I not
killed it at first and had it reared its
head and flapped its wings we should
probably have added one more story

Skirt and Shirt
Skirt is etymologically the same
word as shirt though it has come
over another linguistic route and prop
erly means a short garment In fact
skirt shirt short shear kir
tle and curt are in all probability
near relations But skirt has got it
self specialized to a lower garment
with special reference to the lower
edge thereof the boundary where the
garment is cut short whence the verb
to skirt
