JEAN'S LETTER. Blx years oldi braecbes broken at tbs kneea; hair blond, curly, so rich and thick it would liavo ooiffed tho heads of two protty ladlesi two great blno ayes that still tried to smile a littlo, thotigli they had cried so muchi a jacket well cut but falling to rap; a girl's shoe on on foot, a boy's boot on tho other, both sho and boot too wido and too Ions, turned at ths too and lacking In hoeli behind this was Jean. Littl Jean, to cold and hungry this winter evening, who had niton nothing sinca noon of tho day before, and who had finally decided to write to ths Vir gin. And how, say yon, did Jean, who no mors knew how to wrlto than he knew how to read, arranga this letter? Listen, for It U that which I am going to tell yon. Below there, In tha quarter of ths Oros-Calllon, at the comer of tha avenu not far from the KtpIamuU, I her was a shop, In ths days 1 toll of, of a public writer, for in thuso days alao thero were so many claim and petitions to be made to ths government and so many people, like Jean, that did not know how to write. And the writerthat kept this shop was aa old soldier far on In years, a brave man but a little toety, who was anything but rich and had tha additional misfor tune of not being tufllriuntly chop;ted to pieces to secure admission to the Hotel den Invalid. Jean, without prying at all, had many times seen him through thedlngy glasses of his little cubby bole smoking his pipe and awaiting onatoiners, and so today he entered fearlessly with a ciil "Good-day, uiotuieur. 1 have come, If you please, for yon to write me a let ter." "Ten sous, little one," Pere Conln re sponded, gastng over his spectacles at the midgut before him. Jean had no cap, and was therefor nnabl to lift it, but he said verypo Utolyi "Then eicnaeiuer and be turned to reopen the door. Hut, pleased with bis manuers, Pere Bonln stopped him. " Stayr said hes "toll mo Mint, little one, If yon are the son of a soldier. " "Oh, not" said Jean, "only mamma's son, and she's all aloua." "1 see," said the writer, "at.d yon have not the ten aouxT "No, no sous at all," suld Jean. "Nor (hy mother cither, 'tis plain to be seenl And thy letter, little one is it to make the soup comer "Yes," said Joan, "exactly." "Advance, then. Ten line on a half sheet One Is never too poor for tlmtl" And Per Uouln spread out his paper, dipped his pen In the Ink, and wrote at tbe top of the page, in the beautiful band of the quartermaster that once he had been; x IUris, Jan. IT, ISS-. Then a line loweri To Monaleur ' "Well, go on," sivld be, "how do yon oall him, bab)T "Whof" demanded Jean. "Parbleut the gentleman." "What geutlvinnn, monsieur?" "The one to make the sonp conic" Jean this time comprehended. "Hut it isn't a geutleinan," said he, "Ahl bah! a lady, thonJ" "Ves-no that is" "Kama of names! midget," Pere Bonin cried, "don't yon know whom you are going to write a letter to?" "Oh, yes!" said the child. "Ont with it, then, quick I I can't wait all day!" Cut littlo Jean stood all rod nnd eon fiuted. The fact is, it is not as easy aa it, looks to address one's self to pnhlio writers for correspondences of this kiud, but Jean was bravo and presently an swered softlyi "It Is to the Holy Virgin that I witdt to send a letter." Father Uonln did not laugh, not at all; he simply wiped and laid auldo his pen and took his pipe from his mouth, "Soe you, midget," aald he severely, "1 don't want to believe that you mock an old mam besides, yon are too small for me to trouueo. race nbouts' maroht Out yon go!" 1 Little Jean obeyed nnd wondoringly turned heel, or foot rather, siiue heel lie had none; nnd, seeing him bo submissive'. Pore Benin a second time recousiJercd and regardod him more closely. . f "Name -of names, of names!" grum bled ho, "but there is misery in this Purist What do you call joni-Bolf, baby?" "Jonn," "Jean what?' ' . "Nothing just Jean." Pere Uouiu felt bis tyes stliig, but he only salds - "And what do you wish to say to the Holy Virgin?" "To toll hor that mamma's beennsloep stnoe four o'clock yesterday, and that! cant wake hor np." y Tlie heart of the old soldier suddenly stood still. He feared to comprehend. He demanded ngalnt " "But that soup you spoke of a while agor "Yes," Bald the child, "I know I had to apeak of it, yon see, because maunna before going to sleep yesterday gave me tbe laet piece of broad," "And what did she eat, prayr - "Nothing for more than two days she always said she wasn't hungry," "And yon tried to wake her, say you how?" - , , v.;! "As 1 always do kissing her." "Did she breather . Joan smiled, and that smile made htm beautiful. "I don't know," said he. "Don't we always breathe?" Pere Bonin had to hastily turn Ms hnnrl. for two bin tears were rolltiiK down his cheeks, and his reply, to the child was another question: i "And when vou. kissed,, her." aall.iai. "yon notloed nothing stranger "Yes, 1 did," said Jeans "bow cold tie was; bnt then It's always so cold in our house." "She shivered, then, your main ma shivered with the cold'" "No, she was junt cold, bnt so pretty, br bands crossed so, her bead back and her eyes looking st the sky." "Arid 1 wanted riches) Pere Bonln murmured, "L who have enongb to eat and drink, when here is one that died of bnngerr ' 'V1'1 ",? " And drawing the child to him be took bun on his knee and softly began to talk to him. "Tbylettor, my baby," said he, "is writ ten, tent and received. Now take me to thy mother." : ? "Oh, yes, 1 will, bnt bnt why do yon cryr demanded Jean, astonished. "But 1 am not crying, Jean no, men never cry I Tts you, my precious, who will soon do thatr Then, straining him in bis arms and covering him with kissel; "I, too, know yon, Utile Jean, once had a mother, whom I see even now In her bed, so pale and white and saying to me, the image of the Virgin resting at her bead; 'Benin, my son, be an honest man al ways, and always a Christian 1 An hon est man I have been, but a Christian ah, darner - ' ' lis sprang to bis feet, tbe child still hugged to bis breast, and speaking as if to one invisible! "But now, old raether, now, I say, rest thou in peace, for thou art going to have thy way. Friends may laugh and jeer if they will, but where thou art I wish to go, and there will 1 be led to this precious angel here, who, shall never leave me again. Hit letter, which was never even written, has made a double shotit has given him a father and me aheartr : ,.s -; . That is all; this story without end it done. I know no more save that some where in Paris today there is a man still young, a writer also, but not as Pere Bonin.

There are many of nt who ttill fail to comprehend how any rational being, how the Almighty himself, could feel honored by the uncovering of a human creature's cranium; and I am old fashioned enough to be reminded of certain historical say ings regarding the doffing of head cover ings, Ueorge Fox used to ask it the very Turks did not mock at the Christians in their proverb which said that "the Chris tians spend much of their time in pull ing off their baU and exhibiting their bare heads to each other." Bis contemporary, Oeorge Keith, wrotoi "Tha preachers of Germany, and especially at Hamburg, which 1 have seen with, my eyes, use such gross partiality in their salutations that com monly they have two caps under their hats. The poor, except extraordinarily, they pans by without any notice; to others they doff the hat; others more rich In the world they salute with dof fing the hut and one of the' caps; and to those whom they most honor, or rather flutter, they dolt the hat and both caps." And did not our W. Penn say, in more serious veins ' "The first and most pressing motive upon our spirit to decline the practice of these present customs of pulling off the bat, bowing the body or knee, and giving people gaudy titlea and epithets in our saluta tions and addresm.it, was that - savor, tight and seute that God, by bis light and spirit, has given us of tho Christian world's apostasy from God, and the cause and effects ot that great and la mentable defection."

The facta are these; Loot summer, when Kinperur William woe at Os boroe, be oue evening asked tbe queen to accord him a confidential conversa tion upon a loatter of tbe utmost Im portance. Tbe Interview was accorded and tbe emperor said In substance: "The situation in Germany is Intoler able. It cannot last twelve months longer. Tbe country cannot bear tbe present financial strain required to keep up tbe present fighting strength. Socialism is daily assuming terrible proportion. Germany's allies, espec ially Italy, are no longer able to keep up tbe present pace. Tbe strain tt too great on them. France, on tbe con trary, is becoming stronger and strong er, but France is isolated. It Is abso lutely necessary that Germany should slcze the first occasion to declare war upon ber. Tbe latest moment to which this possibly may be put off Is tbe spring of 1892." The queen replied: "So long as I live I firmly hope peace Willi be main tained. I am now old, but still feel my but years shall not be saddened by more blood flowing In Europe. The responsibility that rests upon you Is a terrible one. It would, in my opinion, be criminal for any sovereign or states man to attempt to precipitate events. In any case, what you have sold boa caused me great uneasiness." ; . SALISBURY'S ADVICE. The queen sent for Lord Salisbury and lu funned him of this strange con versation aud desired him to talk with tbe emperor about it Lord Salisbury replied: "I think if I attempted to discuss the question the emperor might cut the mat ter short by taking me by the shoulders and pushing me out of tbe window; besides his majesty might do exactly contrary to what I might sug gest. There Is, lu my opinion, only one thing to do, write an autograph letter to the czar, telling bun frankly what has occurred, and urging him In the Interests of tlie pence of Europe to lose no time in making a friendly ad vance toward France, in order to con vince tbe emporer that Russia, would not consent to see France wantonly attacked. This would cause the em peror to reflect, aud lu my opinion thus is tlie most effective way of preserving peace. It would be well if England should also simultaneously moke an advance toward France." The queen at once followed Salis bury's advice with a result which is already a matter ot history. Pint Snow This Saasoa. ' Nevada, Cal., Sept 80.
