Duprez. the great but ill favored French tenor, was once walking fron. the Grand Opera House In Paris with the baritone Baroilhet, who was not an Apollo either. They happened to meet Perrot. the dancer, a man of very great ability, but short and thin and so ugly that a manager once said be could never engage Perrot unless for the Jardin des Plantes (zoological gardensi. as be engaged no monkeys. Perrot told them the story, and. when Duprez laughed at him. Perret said: “Why. surely you need not laugh. If I am ugly. I am certainly not so ugly as either of you.” "You monkey." said Duprez. "this difference shall soon be settled." And. seeing n stranger pass who appeared to be a gentleman. "Monsieur." said be. "will you be so good as to arbitrate in a little difference of opinion between us?" “With pleasure,” said the stranger, “if I can." “Well.” said Duprez, "just look at us and say whom you consider to be the ugliest of the three." The gentleman looked for some time from one to the other and then said “Gentlemen, 1 give it up. I cannot possibly decide.” and went away roaring with laughter. Value of Frenh Air. Sleeping in the open air lias passed the life limit of a fad and assumed the proportionsofa habit It is. moreover. a growing habit, the motto of which is "with nothing between you and the sky."

FRENCH VIEW OF IT Discission of the Attitude of the Powers Pending the Recent War With Spain. ANOTHER INTERESTING STORY In This It Is Seen That England Was Net the Dominant Factor and That Russia Held and Properly Played the Trump Card at Critical Time. Paris, Feb. 6.—Concerning the interesting protestations just now emanating from Berlin and London in regard to the attitude of these respective governments toward the United States pending the declaration ot hostilities in the Spanish-American war. the following statement is made by an official who held a very high position during the early days of that war. and it is undoubtedly anthemic: The Spanish government believed that Queen Victoria would support any step taken with a view to preventing the war and coining to the aid of the queen regent. It attributed at that time, perhaps, too great an importance to the interv< ntion of the queen in the council of the British It was net ignorant of the fact that Mr. Chamberlain was in agreement with Lord Salisbury in the desire to endeavor to render the United States a signal service, but information of a very confidential character which reached it conveyed to the Madrid government the idea that any mission of pacification would be well received by England. English society entertained the mojt hostile spiri* toward the United States. It had not been able to forget the Venezuelan affair, and in London it was tnought the proper thing to support the Spaniards. “Thus the principal diplomatic efforts of Spain were brought to bear on the central European powers and more particularly Russia. It was not thought that England would take the initiative in its favor, but being convinced. and as it appears, justly so, that England would not care to stand aloof from a common action undertaken by Europe to bring about peace, Spain thought before everything else to win over Russia to her cause. Toward the end of March. 1898. one of the leading diplomats of Spain who took an intimate part in the negotiations then proceeding, said: ‘The key to the success of our negotiations appears to be now at St. Petersburg. We shall concentrate our efforts there.’ The Austrian emperor for family motives had taken the initiative in proposing to the various powers an intervention tending to induce Spain to gr;’*.t concessions and by averting war to strengthen the dynasty. France and Germany were at first well disposed to the Austrian proposal and an accord of the continental powers would undoubtedly have been possible had Russia given her support. The Spanish diplomats of whom I have already spoken told mo that at Madrid those who were in touch with the negotiations anxiously awaited the upshot of the conversation that the Spanish ambassador at St. Petersburg was to have with Count Muraviet’. When the result became known the disillusion was all the more bitter because hope had been so high. The step taken by the emperor of Austria appeared to be utterly unknown to the Russian minister of foreign affairs. When he was made cognizant of it. he did not seem to attribute any great efficacy to it. ‘lf such a step,’ said Count Muravieff. ‘ls confined to a simple council, it will have no result, and if it implies anything resembling a threat the result obtained would be contrary to that desired.’ This reply quickly undermined the friendly disposition that France and Germany had at first shown toward Spain and the pacific action of the powers instead of being exercised collectively and of great moral authority reduced itself to individual advice, counselling Spain to make concessions. "England was not therefore called upon to declare herself. The sympathy ot certain statesmen in the conservative cabinet was certainly for the United States, but they were not lequire i to display them. They afterward insinuated that their role had been to hold Europe in cheek to the advantage of the United States. As lb seen from the foiegoing, they did . nothing of the kind."

Au Important Alteration, Apropos of the report that some : American modistes clothe fashionable patrons gratis in return for the adver--1 tiseinents rs their wares the London - Chronicle declares that D'Orsay. "Hie last of the dandies." was much sought 1 after t:> advertise the goods of the -1. udon tailors of h.s day. L Mrs. I‘itt Dvrne also says in her ; somewhat malicious ”G ssip of the Century:" "Such was the counts pres- ' tige that tailor to the Comte d'Orsay j was a far more privileged title than | tailor to bis majesty. It was said, i ; moreover, that the client whose cus- • t un was so profitable did not disdain to share its advantages. By a de!: ate | , arrangement, each time the integu- i meats of the exquisite were sent home ; ' he was to find a bank note of a certain | amount in the p ckets. One day the tailor sent In a suit pur et simple, with nothing but its own merits to recommend it. D’Cu say’s surprise was ex- : treme on discovering this departure fr m the established custom, but be was equal to the occasion. Calling his valet, be told him to have Mr. Stultz’s ' parcel returned to him for alteration, with a message to the effect that he bad forgotten to line the pockets.’ ” Tradition of Scotland's Thistle. Queen S-otin had led her troops in a I well fought battle, and when the day was won retired to the rear to rest from her toils. She threw herself upon . the ground where, as ill luck would have it. a bristly thistle grew. Whether j the fair amazon fought in the national costume of Scotland or not the tradition fails to say. but at any rate the spines of the offending plant were sufficiently powerful to penetrate the skin in a very painful manner. A proverbial philosopher has said that "he that sitteth upon nettles risetb quickly,” and the same remark holds good with thistles. Queen Scotia sprang to her feet and tore the thistle out by the roots. She was about to cast it aside when it struck her that the prickly herb would henceforth be ever associated in her mind with the glorious victory which she had just gained. Her Intention I was changed. She placed the thistle In her cask, and it became the badge j of her dynasty. The Little Girl Paid. I heard on interesting anecdote of Jacob Grimm the other day. One of his prettiest tales ends with the words “whoever refuses to believe this story owes me a thaler.” One winter morning a little Jewish girl rang the doorbell and asked the servant if Herr Professor Jacob Grinim was at home. When informed that be was not. she said politely: "Will you please hand him this thaler when he returns?" The servant took the coin, glanced at it curiously and inquired who sent it and what it was for. “I owe him the money myself," said the little girl. “Why? What for?” “Because 1 don’t believe the story about the wolf.”-Berlin Letter in Chicago Record-Herald. A Translator** Story. An interesting little story attaches to the volume of Swedish fairy tales which Mr. 11. L. Braekstad has translated. Years ago a Swedish friend gave Mr. Braekstad a book, saying, "Here is something you will like.” He turned over the pages with the remark. "It Isn’t Swedish, is it. for I know Swedish?" "Not Swedish.” was the reply, "but Swedish dialect.” "Ab." said Mr. Braekstad. "can 1 manage to read it?” He tried several times, not very successfully. But one day he began to read the dialect aloud, and then be understood it at once. It resembled the dialect of a part of bis own country, Denmark, and had been taken down phonetically.—Loudon Chronicle. A Queer Provialon In a Will. The following will, though not especially curious in itself, throws a curious light ou the streets of London in the seventeenth century. John Cooke, among other bequests, left £1 "for the maintenance of a lantern and candle, to be eight in the pound at least, to be kept and hanged out at the corner of St. Michael s lane, next Thames street, from Michaelmas day to lutdy day. between the hours of U and 10 o'clock at night until the hours of 4 or j in the morning, for affording light to passengers going through Thames street or St. Michael’s lane.”-AII the Year Round.

"No,” Mr Goidrock said gently. “I have not the slightest objection to your asking my daughter in marriage.” "Thank you. sir.” said the young , man with a title, but no cash.
