Th Great Master Thought No Honor Too Great For Himself. It was Theophlle Guiltier who said something to the effect that If be thought that one line of the great mas ter, Victor Hugo, was bad he would uot acknowledge it to himself If be were alone ut the bottom of n dark well. On nuother occasion Gautlcr spoke of Victor Hugo as "a new Moses fresh from Sinai, charged to deliver the tablets of the law." Decidedly. Victor Hugo was n man who knew how to cast a spell upon those nbout him. For example, look at the follow Ing picture drawn In the "Souvenir sur Turgenleff:" "One evening Hugo's admirers as semblcd lu his drawing room, were competing with one another In the eulogy of his gentjis, and the Idea was thrown out. tbnt the street In which he lived ought to bear his name. Some one suggested that the street was too small to he worthy of so great a poet, and (he honor of bearing bis name ought to be assigned to some more Im portant thoroughfare. Then they pro ceeded to enumerate the most popular quarters of Paris. In an ascending scale, until one man exclaimed with enthusiasm that it would be an honor for the city of Paris Itself to be re rained after the man of genius. Hugo, loaning against the mantelpiece, listen ed complacently to theso flatterers out bidding each other. Then, with nn air of one engaged In deep thought, he turned to n young man nnd said to him In his grand style, 'Even that will come, my friends even that. . will come.' "Bookman. Weeks & McGowan Co.

The ovnrlnas are perhaps the mosi Interesting people In Portugal. They are probably the lineal descendants of the original Inhabitants of the land and now come from a small place called Murtosa (Estarreja). not far from Oporto. As the termination Indl cntes. the overlnns nre the women of these people. Both old and young, for even young children nre thus employed, nre ex ceodlngly active and energetic. They go about barefoot, wearing n peculiar costume, and carrying huge baskets o( n peculiar shape on their heads. They travel many miles a day and penetrate Into every corner of the city, crying their wnres In n loud, unmusical shout They mount even to the sixth floors nnd bargain with buyers. They go bnrefoot not because of their poverty, many of "them possessing expensive gold ornaments, but because t!iv can thus more easily cover the many miles they run during the day. Attempts have been made to do nwoy with this method of selling fish, but they have all fulled. The customers like to deal with these fish girls and can purchase from them very small amounts. Fish Is not purchased by weight, but by the llsh or part of fish. The price averages 12 to 1.1 cents per pound There are not less than 2.000 ovarlnas engaged In selling fish In Lisbon.

An Aquatic Tragedy. When visitors came, Bobby was often turned out of his room and Into the garret for a ulgbt or two.

"Then." snld tho crocodile, "by our agreement I shall keep til in, for If you have told the truth 1 am not going to givo him buck, and if it Is a lie 1 have also won." But the mother said. "If 1 told you the truth you are bound by your prom ise, and If It Is uot the truth It will noi bo a lie until you have given mo my child." Who got the baby? No Seme of Proportion. The young man who had spent hl efforts for several years without re sult lu studying art was talking with his practical uncle, who had patlcutl) paid the bills.
