The architect Viollet le I>uc was one day on the Scbwarzenberg glacier at a height of about 9,000 feet, accompa nied by Baptiste, the guide, who marched in front. The two men were attached to each other by a rope, as is usual in Alpine mountaineering. The guide bad passed over a crevasse, but when M. Viollet le Due attempted to cross it he failed and fell into the abyss. The guide tried to pull him out. but instead he found himself gradually descending. The architect perceived that his com panion, if he persisted in the attempt to save him, would surely share his fate, and he asked if Baptiste had a family. “A wife and children,” was the an swer. “Then,” said Viollet le Due quietly, ‘‘l shall cut the rope.” lie did so and fell, but a block of ice thirty feet lower down stopped liis descent. When Baptiste saw this and i that for a time the danger was lessen ed, he went in search of help and re turned with four stout peasants. Three hours afterward Viollet le Due was ex tricated. in spite of liis perilous position the ruling passion was strong with the art ist, for, although he was almost cov ered with icicles from the dripping wa ter, he had contrived to make drawings of the novel effects he was able to perceive, A Cosily Flnurr, A Dresden paper relates an amusing , anecdote. An old gentleman, a mem ber of the landtag, lately slightly hurt liis finger. Not troubling to go to his doctor, he asked a medical colleague what lie ought (o do and was told to give liis linger a ‘‘soap bath.” On the ; following day he was much surprised to receive from his friend a note for "medical consultation; Hie amount, 30 marks.” lie then spoke to another colleague, a lawyer, complaining. His legal friend said it was strange conduct; but, should it come to a legal question, lie would be obliged to pay and had better do so at once. The day after the old gentleman’s astonishment was still greater on receiving from this friend a note claiming 10 marks for “legal advice.” Quite angry, he appealed to the com mission. a body which settles all per sonal disputes of the members of the landtag. What was his disgust when the commission found that he had be haved badly in refusing just demands and condemned him to make amends by paying the fine of a basket of cham pagne! The finger, winch was mean time perfectly healed, had cost him dear. Tlif Statue. of Parla. No city in the world has so many statues and monuments as Paris, and every day secs anew project for anew statue or bust. It is curious to note in this connection that a large proportion of the famous men honored in this way came to their end by violence In some form or other. Many of them died on the scaffold, and a stroll thrbugh the l’nris streets may give the philosopher food for reflection on the mutability of human judgment. Dan ton and La voisier were guillotined, Jeanne d’Arc and Etienne Detet were burned at the stake, Henry IV. was murdered, Etienne Marcel was also assassinated, Marshal Ney was shot. Condoreet com mitted suicide to escape the scaffold, and these are only a tithe of those that might be mentioned. A lladly Turned Phraae. “It is queer.” says a clergyman of New York city, “what a liking young students have for long words and Latin quotations and what a dread possesses them of appearing conventional. I once knew a promising candidate who was given charge of a funeral in the ab sence of the pastor of the church. He knew it was customary for the minis ter to announce after the sermon that those who wished should step up to view the remains, but he thought this was too hackneyed a phrase, and he said instead, ‘The congregation will now pass around the bier.’ ’’—New York Tribune. An Ritempore Pnn. An oft quoted old English wit Is Dan iel Purcell, who is worthy of Immortal ity as a master of repartee. The best of the reported witticisms of this for gotten jester is as follows: Purcell was desired one night in company by a gentleman to make a pun extempore. “Upon what subject?” asked Daniel. “The king." answered the other. "The king, sir,” said he, “is no sub ject.” The Teeth. One of the commonest causes of bad teeth is that of taking very hot food. If you take a cup of very hot tea or coffee, the enamel on the teeth ex pands, and breathing the cold air after ward causes it to contract This alter nate expansion and shrinking of the enamel works havoc with it and when it cracks, as it soon does, the inner part of the tooth crumbles away in no time. Her Dearent Friend. “If you were 1,” she said to her dear est friend, "would you be married in the spring or the fall?” "If 1 were you.” was the unhesitating reply, "and had actually secured a man. 1 would set the wedding for the earliest date possible.”—Chicago Post A Great Sacco. Old Friend—Was your daughter’s marriage a success? Hostess—Oh. a great success. She’s traveling in Europe on the alimony.— Kew York Weekly. .. .
