Montaigne went toward marriage with the quality of cheerful alacrity which would have inspired a journey to the whipping post. "Might I have had my own will," he tells us, "I would not have married Wisdom herself, if she would have had me." No quainter piece of polite literature can be found than the letter which our philosopher addressed to his wife as a kind of necessary compliment on the occasion of the death of an only daughter. And the alacrity with" which he relegates to Plutarch the task of consoling her In her affliction testifies to the entire consistency of his habitual claim that the dignity of marriage is best subserved when a husband refrains from becoming too fond of his wife. Even in view of this consideration, however, such a brief and refrigerated epistle suggests an amazing degree of reticence in a writer who needs only the turning of a faucet to enable him to pour forth a quenchless stream of ideas on any and every subject from thumbs to immortality. Martha Baker Dunn in Atlantic. A Strange Feast. A curious feast is observed by the Mohammedan inhabitants of India, In which the origin of the custom known as painting the town red may possibly be traced. It is called the Iloli and consists chiefly In the plentiful sprinkling upon all and sundry of a certain red preparation called holi powder. It stains the white clothes of the natives with an ugly, dirty looking red that conjures up before timid eyes dread visions of bloody fights and ghastly mutinies. The powder Is made in two shades the one vermilion, the other rose red and both are used impartially by the observers of the ceremony, who delight in bedaubing their faces with the powders until they look like strange and hideous denizens of hades come up, still glowing with the fires of that region. Among the better classes this festival is falling into disfavor, for it leads to many unpleasant excesses and had its origin in some decidedly dissipated scene in ancient heathen history. Gladstone as n. "Snpe." v A reference to "The Corsican Brothers" recalls an amusing story of Mr. Gladstone's visit to the Lyceum when Irving was playing in this drama, Mr. Gladstone at the time was not burdened by the cares of office, and one evening he dropped in at the Lyceum, where he was occasionally accommo dated with a chair at the "wings." On this night, however, when the stage was set for the opera ball in "The Corsican Brothers" his curiosity led him Into one of the boxes for spectators in the scene. Up went the curtain: Mr, Gladstone was at once descried by the pit and greeted with shouts of joy which caused him hastily to withdraw. '"mis," says Mr. Austin, "was his first and only appearance in the drama out Eiae of the dear old 'legitimate'- at Westminster." Westminster Gazette. The Wife's Reproach. In an address to a temperance society a lecturer told how drink had onco caused the downfall of a brave soldier. In the course of the sad story he said: "Sometimes, after a debauch, the man would be repentant, humble. He would promise his wife to do better. But, alas, the years taught her the barrenness of all such promises. And one night, when he was getting to be an old man, a prematurely old man, thin limbed, stoop shouldered, with red rimmed eyes, he said to his wife sadly: "'You're a clever woman, Jenny, a courarwus, active, good woman. You should have married a better man than I am, dear.' "She looked at hiru, and, thinking of what he had once been, she answered in a quiet voice: " 'I did, James.

CHICAGO GANDALIZED Gossip Rife About Reasons for Dr. Hoagland's Resignation. TEMPEST 18 A TEAPOT Clergyman Deuie Jealouay of Wife m Part of Woman l'urlnioners CnitNfd Withdrawal. The story to the effect that Rev. D. D. Hoagland. pastor of the East Chicago Methodist Church, offered his resignation on account of petty jealousy on the part of the women in his congregation toward his wife, has been scandalizing the people of that town for the last day or two. It had been reported that the clergyman discov ered his wife In tears recently, over some gossip she had heard about her self, and that to prove his loyalty to her and his contempt for those who had indulged in the back biting, he had promptly handed in his resignation The alleged gossip, so far as learned, consisted in remarks about the manner in which Mrs. Hoagland dressed, and that it was not right for the wife of the pastor of a church to hold herself aloof from the congregation and the latter's social doings, and other things equally important if true. It was given out that Mrs. Hoagland's life had been made miserable for the past year by the women members of her husband's flock who were evidently jealous of her position as the wife of the pastor. Dr. Hoagland married his wife about a year ago after he had been pastor for some time of his present church. According to the stories, a great many mothers in his flock had designs upon the young preacher, but he chose to ignore their wiles and married a young woman, who, while she attended his church, was a 'Tank" outsider from the standpoint of the designing mothers. Mr. Hoaglaud Interviewed. Speaking to the Times' representa tive this morning Mr. Hoagland denied the whole story flatly and showed a prepared statement for the newspapers in which he says among, other things that the people of his church have been uniformly kind. The report is current-that a call is awaiting him near Lafayette, which he may accept. He has already announc ed to his congregation that he was preparing to resign- and though it was Impressed to him by many of his fol lowers how necessary it would be for him to stay be remained obdurate. The stories in the papers have set the tongue wagging in East Chicago and even the few who found fault with the minister or his wife are ready to stand by them now. Mr. Hoagland, however, says that al the ado is uncalled fonas his resig nation has no connection whatever with his private affairs. He said this morning, "if there was any scheming on the part or some anxious motner to prevent me from marrying my present wife I was not aware of it. Of course, the minister and his wife are at all times liable to discussions in woman's clubs and at sewing circles, but in the present case the people of East Chicago have been misrepresented. No successor to the Rev. D. D. Hoagland is yet in sight. It is a hard place as the congregation is only in its infancy. A good man is needed there at all times but it has been found hard to induce a good man to come. A Missing: Five Franc Piece. Fully half the grownup people of France believe the old story that Napoleon Bonaparte put a check for 100,00) francs in a silver five franc piece and that the coin is yet in circulation. They say that the people did not want the five franc piece and that In order to create a demand for it Napoleon resorted to the device mentioned. The check or treasury order, It Is said, was written upon asbestus paper and Inclosed In the metal at the time the coin was made. Thousands of five franc pieces are annually broken open and have been so Inspected since the story of the check was first circulated. Right of Way In !Cew York. Most people in New York think Uncle Sam's mail wagons are supreme. They are not. The hospital ambulance comes first Life is more sacred than mall, and when the ambulance gong gong9 clear the track. Next In Importance Is the fire engine. Property Is more Important than mail, and when the engine toot3 and the bells ring clear the way. Then the mail wagons, which have precedence over everything but the ambulance and fire engine. ; This is settled by city ordinance. New York Press. Tvfo Witnesses. In order to test a Chinese witness' qualification for taking the oath an English magistrate asked him the other day where he expected to go when he died. He replied, "Peking," and was disqualified. One in another English court, a little girl, in answer to that question said, "I don't know." The horrified counsel called the judge's attention to the answer. "Oh, I don't know, either," said the judge. "Swear the witness." San Worshipers. One of the best friends the tailor has is a spell of warm, bright sunshine.
