Augusta Rodin, the French sculptor, had a groat struggle With poverty and adverse criticism iu his youth. Of an episode of this early period a writer says: "With that inflexible will and singleness of purpose that never failed him throughout his career the youug sculptor set himself to express in elay, marble or brouze his conception of life and art. He used his leisure in work­ ing at nighttime, In a deserted stable he had transformed Into a studio, at his wonderful mask of 'The Man With the Broken Nose.' After eighteen months of hard and patient labor he finished this mask and sent It to the salon. It took the hanging committee fourteen years to discover any merit in the work, for It was rejected in 1864 and finally accepted only in 1878."

Usually in the villages (for there are no farms as we under­ stand the term and every one lives in a hamlet or a city) the men own the property in common with the rest of the family. When a girl marries she goes to her husband's home to live, and when her children become old enough they take their turn iu tilling the fields and marketing the produce. Agricul­ ture is the main occupation every­ where, and it is of the simplest form. The farmer rtses with the dawn and in company with his wife, sons and daughters repairs to the fields.

A Court of 1'iue Maimer*. At the court of Marie Antoinette all emotions and passions were veiled by a mask of politeness. Even the children were taught to speak with wit and tact and courtesy and to bear pain in si- lenoe. The little Due d'Augouleme, eight years old, when the old Sanbrun entered his presence unexpectedly, said, touching the book in his hand: "Ah, monsieur, I am In the company of Plutarch's men. You could not come at a moment more apropos." Th& Count de Pallance, beheaded in his tenth year, stood erect and calm in the cart until he reached the guillotine^ The headsman lifted his long curia. "Monsieur," said the boy, with a bow and^ a smile. The next moment his head rolled in dust. The man or wo­ man who showed any signs of preten­ tion or self conceit was not received at court Profound deference was show* to women and to the aged. Well bred men heard of their own ruin with a bonmot and went out to fight each other to the death with such grace and courtesy that the duel seemed a sacra­ ment of friendship.
