HIS DISTINGUISHED VISITOR. A l v oi ipoua Reception That Amused President Grevy. M. Severiaro th* Heredia, the minister of public works in the Bouvier cabinet during the presidency of M. Grevy, belonged to the famous naturalized Cuban family, of which another member, the Comte de Heredia, is one of the immortal 40 of the French academy. Most of the family have dark spins, suspiciously mulatto, and other negro characteristics. This has. however, in nowise interfered with their standing in Paris, where several of the family have long been prominent. The former minister had also been president of the municipal council of Paris and a deputy from a Paris arrondissement. His dark skin led to a curious mistake at the Ely see the day after he Lad been appointed a member of the Rouvier cabinet. According to immemorial custom the new ministers called singly on President Grevy to pay their respects. On the same day, as It happened, an official visit was expected from the president of the republic of Haiti, who was to present his letters to the president. When M. de Heredia arrived in the court of the palace, the minor officials stationed there, who were not familiar with the new minister’s features, judged from his complexion that he was the Haitian dignitary. The courtyard became very animated with guards hurrying to ami fro to their places, while one of the officers of the president's military household went to inform M. Grevy of the distinguished visitor’s arrival. M. de Heredia received all this with dignified composure, for, never having been a minister before this, he thought this ceremonial was probably the usual one. Finally, with the beating of drums, he was ushered into the reception room, where the chief executive stood ready to receive him. “What.” cried he, “It's only you. Heredia!” “Why, yes, M. le President,” replied the puzzled minister. Grevy began to laugh. “Well,” he cried, "you have been minister only 24 hours and have succeeded In turning my house upside down. What will you do later on?"— Chicago Herald. CHASED THE SUPER. The Hxcltlna H«<*« Between Kean anti the Stage Hund. Some strange tales have been told by old timers in the stage business about the Keans, both the elder and the Inst to be seen on the American stage. Some have said that hard study made them a little wrong at times, and some of the things they did certainly looked queer. It Is told by an old New Orleans horseman, who is here from the Crescent City, that when Kean the younger was playing there he nearly scared a super to death and came near "pinking" him.

It was in "Richard HI,” in the scene where he sees the ghosts. The stage manager was a bit the worse for drink and determined to have some fun. He did not like Kean, as he was a hard man behind the scenes. Among the supers was a raw Irish lad who had never seen a stage before. The manager told this fellow that if he would run across the stage when he gave him the tip he would stand to earn $2. The poor fellow was broke, and a two spot looked to him like a national bank. He agreed, and the stage manager gave him a gaudy oilcloth banner bearing these words, “Smoke General Jackson Cigars.” It was nearly a panic that this Irish lad started. He ran across the stage, and when Kean saw him he was furious. He made a lunge nt the unfortunate super with his sword, and. as the “rag" came whizzing down to a hurry call, ho chased the poor standard bearer off the stage, down the passage and to the street. For two blocks he followed him in* his Richard costume, and finally the super escaped down a dark alley. What effect it bad upon the show the turfman does not say, but certainly It ivas only the super’s agility of foot that saved him.—Cincinnati Enquirer. Wrote Sermons In Hie Sleep. Narrating “Some Remarkable (’ases of Double Personality,” Dr. R. Osgood Mason cites in The Ladles’ Home Journal the case of a "young ecclesiastic In the seminary with the Archbishop of Bordeaux. France, who was in the habit of getting up at night in a condition of somnambulism, going to his study and composing and writing his sermons In the dark. When he had finished one page, he read it over and properly corrected It. A broad piece of cardboard interposed between his eyes, and his writing made no difference to him. He wrote, read and corrected just the same as If there had been no obstruction. Having completed his work to his satisfaction, he returned to bed, and In the morning he had not the slightest idea of what he had done In the night and had no knowledge of It until he saw the manuscript in bls own handwriting.” A Philosopher. Wife—There's a burglar down cellar, Henry. Husband—Well, my dear, we ought to be thankful that we are up stairs. Wife—Rut he'll come up here. Husband—Then we’ll go down cellar, my dear. Surely a ten room house ought to be big enough to hold three people without crowding.—Detroit.Free Misplaced Ability. The young collegian snapped bls watch lid down with a sigh of relief. “Preached 47 minutes,” he announced to bls neighbor. “We ought to get a man with wind like that on our track team.”—Exchange.

JAPAN IN WINTER. (oiler In Houses of the Rich Man Than lif Open Sunshine. “I suppose that the American people, and the Russians are the only western i races that really keep warm in winter. I Still those who dwell in other countries ’ admit that they have the same ideal by ! their inefficient effort to attain to it,” writes Annr N. Benjamin In Ainslee's. | "The Japanese winter is most trying on account of its continual dampness, but the Japanese are content to remain cold. They make almost no effort to overcome it. The old ‘bushido’ (chlval-, rousl idea of the ‘samurai’ (knights) i was that it was effeminate to feel cold, and such Is their severe training that they do not really feel it as we do. The wearing of some extra 'kimonos' and the use of a ‘htbachi,’ or brazier, in which are a few tiny sticks of lighted charcoal, are the only concessions to winter weather. With the ‘hibachi’ they never pretend to heat more than their finger tips, which they hold over the coals. It is used when the house is entirely open. “The houses, ns every one knows, are built of thin, light wood, and the sliding panels which serve for doors and windows have paper panes. They are as apt to be open as closed during the day. When I took my first jinrikisha ride through the streets of Nagasaki, I forgot my own sufferings in my sympathy for this unhappy nation, which as surely as the cold came endured such misery from it. The coolies wear thin blue cotton clothes and are always paddling through the mud. The storekeepers sit out in their open laioths, and the women go bareheaded about the streets. In the houses of the rich the still cold behind the closed panels is often more intense than that outside in the sunshine, where the air Is stirring. The schools and public buildings are equally frigid. “It seemed to me that the only warm things In Japan were the babies, who looked like bundles of gnyly colored crape, their round beads covered by knit caps. They slumber peacefully tucked down their mothers' backs. The attempt to keep warm in winter Is not entirely a‘modern improvement.'though it goes with western civilization. The Koreans do It very thoroughly, the Chinese to a certain extent. The Japanese, as a race, continue to scorn It as they always have done, and t>is Is merely one of a hundred examples which prove that the Japanese are still true to their traditions in their dally life and as yet little affected in the ordering of their homes by the ideas adopted from the west ” Not For Ills lleallli. < Hubbubs Why uro you moving from your suburban home?
