The Musee Carpavalet of aris 18 also Known as the National museum, for it contains objects pertaining tv the history of France nod especially of The sacredness of antiquity clings to the building it self, which was begun in 1544 and enlarged in 1060 by Mansart, "the famous architect of Louis XIV. In 1677 it became the home of Mme. de SBevigne, who lived there for eighteen years and after whom the street is named that faces the principal en trance.. Among the contents of this museum are fragments and statues from noted old buildings Which no ;jonger exist. There are also. a 'weird portrait done in wax »f Henry IV. made the day after his assassination, and an autograph order from Louis XVL for the defenders of the Tuileries to cease firing. Things of historic in- terest are numerous, but none more sanguinary than the copy of the com- stitution of 1798 bound in human skin, De Lisie's Tragedy. An affair of the youth of Rouget de Lisle, author of the "Marseillaise," is tol by a French journal. In 1870, when he was about twenty years old, Rouget de Lisle, a pupil of the mill tary school, was deeply sinitten with the charms of a young girl of Courbe vole, Mlle. Camille, whose father was a captain on half pay. The betrothal was made the occasion of a family fete, in the course of which some fire works were to be set off. The future officer could not leave to Others the care of touching off the powder. When the moment came to fire the principal piece, which showed the figure of his well beloved, he ap proached with a light in his hand, the guests meanwhile taking their places on a terrace opposite him. The piece Tuy lighted, but a rocket badly direct ed struck the young girl on the fore head, and she died some days after fn q' of her burns. A Queer Fish. One of the queerest of odd creatures is the mud skipper, or jumping fish, which inhabits the large rivers of In- dia and the neighboring seacoasts. At ebb tide these little fishes leave the water to hunt for tiny crabs, flies, ete, and their strong pectoral and ventral fins, aided by their tail, enable them to move about easily and to climb upon trees, grass and leaves. 'With their huge eyes, seeming to pro- Ject far out of their sockets, they can See as well on land as in the water. They progress in short, quick leaps, ef- fected by sharply bending the rear third of the body to the left afd sud- denly straightening it. In color they are usually light brown, with dark bands, though they sometimes appear light green. They are easily caught and are much used in Burma. Long Words. 'While our language does not contain such long words as are found in some other tongues nor so many words of upusual length, still we have several that are awkwardly long for conversa- tional purposes. We have "philopro- genitiveness," with twenty letters; "in- terconvertibilities," with twenty-one; "intercommunicabflities." with twenty- two; "disproportionableness," with twenty-three, and transsubstantiation- alists" and "contradistinguishability," each containing twenty-four letters. An effective little word is "synacategore- matic," as it manages to compress eight syllables into seventeen letters. nine letters, asd there are four ex- amples, "splotched," "squeiched," "strengths" and "stretched." When Coins Were First Made. Certain passages in the "Iliad" of Homer would lead to the inference that coins of brass were struck as ear ly as 1184 B. C. Tradition affirms that Chinese had bronze coins as early 1120 B. C. But Herodotus, "the fa- 4 of history," ascribes the "inven of coins to the Lydians, about nine centuries B. C., and there is no satisfactory evidence that coins were known prior to that date. "» Optimistic. Hall-Blythe is a pretty optimistic character I hear. Well~I should say so!

If you cannot read it soon return it and trust to your being able to borrow it again. In keeping it dn unreasonable time you may be keeping some one else from the pleas- ure reading it may afford. Look over your shelves and see what you have there that should be returned. The man who sheuld borrow so little as a quarter of a dollar from a neighbor and fail to return it would not invite respect. Yet it is quite as bad not to return a book or magazine. 'Who has not had anguish of heart to have some choice, dearly prized volume returned, soiled or torn, with pages lacking? That "Tom upset his inkstand" or "the baby got hold of it" or similar excuse does not mend the matter. The borrowed book should be protect: ed from such accidents. What was worth borrowing is certainly worth re- turning. Certainly it should be ¢lear in your mind that it is not yours, but the property of another i Rapid Pie Making. The fastest machine devised for mak- ing pies is operated by a foreman and six 'ussistants and will turn out 1,800 ples an hour, according to the World's Work. The machine is 'provided with eighteen revolving ple holders which move around an oblong table or plat- form; two crust rollers, one for the lower and the other for the upper crust; a set of four automatic moist ening brushes and a ple trimming wheel. The six operators of the ma- chine place the crusts, fill the pies and remove them from the table when the Operation of moistening and trimming bas been automatically completed. A smaller machine, the working principle of which is similar, except that the ta- ble is round instead of 'oblong, will turn out G00 pies an hour when op- erated by three pie makers. Cream, Butter and Yellow. Scientific experiments have demon- strated that, contrary to the gemeral belief, the yellow color of cream and butter is not necessarily an indication of their richness. It was discovered long ago that most vegetable matter contains a yellow substance called "carrotin" because it exists'abundant- ly in carrots. -<It.is this substance contained in the cow's feed that gives rise to the color of milk and butter. Carrotin is most abundant in the green forage available in spring and summer, so that milk and butter produced then are more yellow than in the winter. al- though the percentage of fat in winter milk often is higher than in the rich looking product obtained in summer. Numbered Teaspoons. In the early days of tea drinking, when the brew was rare and costly, numbered spoons were used. 'It was not etiquette for a guest to ask for a second cup until all the company bad finished the first. The numbered spoons therefore insured each getting his own cup back again. As a sign to the hostess that no more tea was want- ed the spoon was placed in the cup. Even when etiquette was a fetish tea- pot spouts sometimes got choked up, so the long handle of the spoon with a plerced bowl that succeeded the sil- ver strainer was thrust down the spou "It's a lion.

"Squad pie" gave rise to the following Cornish story re- peated by the writer: "The devil came 'one day to the banks of the Tamar, the rippling river that divides Devon and Cornwall, and looked over at the rocky land beyond His majesty considered the swift ctr 'No!" he said finally.
