WEAR 't OUR ST ( "snubbed" eugenil r~ The Incident Hastened Her Marriage With Napoleon III. Mile. Eugenie de Montijo and her ^ mother were the guests, with many J others, ff Emperor Napoleon 111. < at the ii ?r>erial chateau at Com- ] piegue. ilme. de Fortoul wa6 of f the party, ana, being the wife of a i minister, she naturally regarded i herself as a personage of considers- ^ ble importance. Mine, de Fortoul { and many other ladies of the newly 1 formed imperial court, were very jealous of the attentions bestowed * upon the two fair Spaniards by the emperor and slighted the younger lady whenever an opportunity offered. One evening Mile, de Mon! tijo was being led into the dining ! room by M. de Toulongeon, one of the mo6t prominent members of the court, when the progress of the , stately procession was momentarily i [ checked. Immediately in front of ( M. de Toulongeon and Mile, de j Monti jo were Mme. Fortoul and , her cavalier. The escort of the , "beautiful Spaniard" contrived to , get in front of Mme. de Fortoul, with unfortunate results. Greatly < incensed, that lady angrily exclaimed aloud to her partner, "Are you ( going to allow that woman to pass before us?" Mile, de Monti jo, deeply wounded by the offensive remark, burst into tears. During dinner the emperor noticed her distressed condition and saw that she little or nothing. At the earliest possible moment he sought her out and ask- 1 ed very sympathetically what ailed < her. Mile, de Montij) narrated i what had happened, adding that after such an insult she had resolv- < ed upon leaving the chateau on the i following morning. The emperor, 1 who had not hitherto "proposed," 1 said in a meaning tone: "You must not think of going away.%Toraor- | row I will convince you that in fu- < ture no one will venture to insult 1 you." He kept his word and the next day made a formal "proposal." .' That he was "accepted" need not 1 be said. It is well known that the : i emperor had been in a state of in- < j decision as to engaging himself to ' ! Mile, de Montijo mainly owing to ] i the persistent opposition to such I r> 1 li.in/-.r> rvl>ir?li lir> (\nnmln au axuauuv. n iuvit uv from his relatives and many of his most intimate and trusted friends, and it is quite possible that the occurrence of some such "autrage" to his charming guest as is here detailed was requisite to make him sec the propriety of "doing the right tiling." It is fair to add that : from tiie date of actual "engage! nient" his friends ceased to protest 1 against the marriage.? London Tclj egraph. I Calling In Calcutta.

Sword Stands In Churchss. Sword stands came into use in London churches when it became customary to carry the city sword before the lord mayor as he went to church 'fn state. During service the sword was placed in the stand or case provided for it, and in his own church the lord mayor generally had the stand placed conveniently near to or in his family pew. This custom, which was quite common before the end of the sixteenth century, apparently began in the reign of Elisabeth. The state visits ko the city churches were discontinued in the mayoralty of Sir B. N. Fowler, 1883.?London Standard. Tee Big a Risk. "Did yon succeed in selling old Nye a lot in the new cemetery?" one of the summer residents asked i native of Harborville. "No, I didn't," said the man, with in expression reminiscent of both amusement and scorn. "He said he was afraid he'd never get the full ralue of such an investment." "I can't see how he could help jetting it," said the summer resident. "We all have to die some time." "I know," said the native, "and [ reminded him of that fact, but he told me he never could lay his plans from month to month, and now two of his nephews own yachts he thought more'n likely he should be lost at 6ea."?Youth's Companion. The Boy's Verdict. Sister Jane lingered with the visitor at the front door, but at last the visitor went, and Sister Jane tripped lightly upstairs to her own room, humming softly and gladly to herself. She wanted to be alone to think over all the nice things the visitor had said. Little .lames, aged seven, entered the sitting room slowly and thoughtfully. "Mamma," he said, "sister's new beau isn't as stingv as I thought he r? o was." "Isn't he, dear? Well, I'm glad to hear it,' answered his mother. "No," said Brother Jantes deliberately; "lie's stingier."?Ixmdon Mail. __ Obeying Orders. At the piano Mrs. Eaton was guiding Edith and Edward and Jack through the intricacies of an old English melody when she became aware that the twins were adding their voices from an indis creet distance and stopped playing. "Children," she exclaimed, "you are not allowed to join in the chorus with Edith and Edward." "We weren't," the twins protested in slightly resentful tone. "We were singing something quite different."?London Ideas. fir Rv Ri >UI Uj II 5cts yard Check Homesj 36-inch Sea Island Horn 36-inch Bleaching 7cts yard Best Calico i 0 D 5 C 0 j 4*? ?I-?L? 2?i?.1-?4r??T?
