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

Calling In Calcutta.
Fashion has decreed that formal
i calls in India and Calcutta shall be
made at the hottest time of the
day, from 15 to 5. The newcomer
j makes the first calls and often
finds introducing herself a considi
crable ordeal. If one is going out
: or, though at homo, does not wish
to receive she tells the bearer to
put out the box. This is a small
japanned tin box of some bright
i color, with a slit in the top, and on
i the side the lady's uame and the j
words "Not at home." It is hung
j from one of the veranda pillars, and
' when a caller drives up to the buni
galow a servant sitting beneath the
i _1
i box takes it down Irom its nan ana
! gravely holds it while the cards are
! dropped in.?New Idea Woman's

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

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
