FRENCH CHURCH LOOT

$1,000,000 Shortage of M. Duez Causes a Sensation. The arrest of M. Duez at Parla, France, following his confession that he had misappropriated about $1,000,000 of the funds derived from the sale of church property, of which he was the liquidator, has created a tremendous sensation. Intimations are freely made that other liquidators In the employ of the government are similarly Involved. Duez was what is known as an “official receiver,” which Is a sort of a branch of the magistracy. In addition to his shortage in the congregation accounts the liquidator admits that he is short $200,000 in connection with other affairs confided to his charge.

Dishonest Substitution.

A thousund evils necessarily spring from the protection fraud, but not one is more Insidious or more dangerous to the moral tone of trade than the evil of substitution. Old established firms which for years had taken a pride in seeing that everything which went out with their brand was of the highest grade suddenly find themselves confronted with an iucrease in their raw material cost which makes It impossible to produce at the former price. Soibecompetitor will manufacture in article which looks as well as theirs for less mouey which can be sold at the old price, and only the most stubbornly virtuous resist the temptation to “meet the market.’’ which is u way of sayiug deceive the consumer. Tills form of deceit has permeated our whole business life and Is responsible for much of our political decomposition—and the tariff gives it the chief impetus.

Improving Poultry Breads.

There are uow more thuu 100 standard breeds of poultry, aud yet the breeders and fauciers are striving to Improve on what we have. Some breed for beauty in plumage, others for size and shape; then again by the nse of trap nests strains are being bred to Increase the egg production. “The scrub must go.” whether It be the scrub cow, the scrub pig or the scrub chicken. Very few persons realize that If the fanciers of pure bred fowls were to quit Improving their birds altogether they would eventual* ly revert to their first progenitors, the wild jungle fowl of India. 80 wlthotft the help of the fancier, who by selection and elimination breeds up the varieties, our fowls would soon deteriorate and become almost worthless; hence the value of the pure bred fowl to the termer and everybody who uses them or their products.—Housestead.

MARI ANN'S CAREER

By CLARA MORRIS. It was before I came to New York that I -one night saw a really fine performance almost ruined by a single interruption. It was a domestic tragedy of English rural life, and one act began with a tableau copied exactly from a popular painting called “Waiting For the Verdict," which was also the title of the play. The scene gave an exterior view of the building within which the husband and father was being tried for bis life on a charge of murder. The trembling old grandsire leaned heavily on his staff. The devoted wife sat wearily by tbe closed iron gate, with a babe on her breast, tired, but vigilant A faithful dog stretched himself at her feet, while his shaggy shoulders pillowed the head of the sleeping child who was the accused man’s darling. The curtain rose on this picture, which was always heartily greeted,and often, so well it told Its pathetic story, a second and third round of applause greeted It even before tbe dialogue began. The manager’s little daughter, who did the sleeping child, contracted a cold and was advised not to venture out of the house for a fortnight, so a substitute had to be found. And a fine lot of trouble the stage manager had. He declared half the children of Columbus had been through the sieve. And there was tbe trouble—they all went through. There was no one left to act as substitute. But at last he found two promising little girls—sisters they were and very poor—but the mother vowed her children must be In bed at 9, theater or no theater. Yes, she would like to have the money, but she’d do without it rather than have a child out of lied at all hours. At first she held out for 9 o’clock, but at last yielded the additional half hour, and. to the great disappointment of the younger child, the elder one was accepted for the odd reason that she looked so much younger than her sister. The company had come down from Cleveland, and there were the usual slight delays attendant on a first night, but the “house” was goojl, the “star," Mr. Buchanan, was making a fine Impression, and the play was evidently a “go.” The big picture was looked forward to eagerly, and when It was arranged we had to admit that the pale, pinched little face of the strange child was more effective as It rested on the dog’s shoulder than had been the plump, smiling face of tbe manager’s little one.

The curtain went up, and applause followed. Those behind the scenes crowded to the “wings" to look on. No one noted that the hands of the dock stood at 9:40 nor heard through the second burst of applause the slam of the stage door behind the very small person who entered and, silently peering this way and that, found her stern, avenging way to the stage and that too favored sister basking in the sunlight of public approval. The grandsire bad just lifted his head and was about to deliver his beautiful speech of trust and hope when he was strlckeu helpless by the entrance upon the stage of a boldly advancing small person of most amazing appearance. Her thin little legs emerged from the shortest of skirts. Vbile her small body was well pinned up lu a great blanket shawl, the point of which trailed fully a quarter of a yard on the floor behind her. She wore a woman’s hood on her head, and from its cavernous depth, wf»ere there gleamed a pale, malignant wmall face, a voice issued, the high, farreacbing voice of a child that triumphantly commanded:

“You, Mary Ann, you’re ten get up out of that au’ come home straightaway, an’ you're ter go ter bed too. Mother says so!” And the small Nemesis turned on her heel and trailed off the stage, followed by laughter that seemed fairly to shake the whole building. Nor was that all. No boouer had Mary Ann grasped the full meaning of this dread message than she turned over on her face. and. scrambling up by all fours, she eluded the restraining hands of the actress mother and made a hasty exit to perfect shrieks of laughter and storms of applause< while the climax was reached only when the dog. trained to lie still so long as the pressure of the child’s head was upon his shoulder, finding himself free. rose, shook himself violently aud trotted off. waving bis tall pleasantly as he went. That finished 1L The curtain bad to fall. A short overture was played, and the Curtain rose again without the complete tableau, and the action of the play was resumed. But several times the laughter was renewed. It was only necessary for some one person to titter over the ludicrous recollection and instantly the house was laughing with that person. The next night the manager’s child, swathed in flannel, with a mouthful of cough drops, held the well trained dog In bis place -until the proper moment for him to rise, and the play continued smoothly on Its way. i And Just to show how long lasting Is the association of Ideas I will state that years—many years—afterward I met a gentleman who had been in the auditorium that night, and be told me be had never since seeu a blanket shawl, whether in a store for sale or on some broad back, that be bad not Instantly laughed outright, always seeing poor Mary Ann’s obedient exit after that vengeful small slater with her trailing shawl.—Critic.
