A correspondent of the London
Stundurd, visiting the Preucb front
gives bis impressions of tbo war-darn
aged cathedral of Reims. "The spec­
ter of the cathedral looms up out of
the mist with Turneresquo effect as
we top the Reims chain of hills,” be
writes, ' and In ten minutes we are In
front of the statue of Jeanne d’Arc,
which stands unscarred over against
the wrecked porticos. The Maid of
Orleans seems to have bequeathed to
her stone image the charm she en­
joyed against (he sta lls of war, as the
street leading up to the square and
tbs walls of the Lion d'Or' are pitted,
when not badly torn or altogether
shattered by shells splinters. Thirty
feet high around the basement, the
masonry of the cathedral Is shielded
with sandbags, but not one of tbs
statuettes that fill the Interstices be­
tween the pilasters seems to have
escaped."
The Interior, he says. Is filled with
an Indescribable cold and entering It

what the verger calls “ tears of lead’.
These arc the settings of the stained
glass windows. Only one ot a triple
set o f colored windows remains al

sacristy. In the center aisle opposite
the principal pulpit there Is also a
crucifix that none of the shells has
touched.
"A ll of the rest Is more
or less ruin," says the correspondent
"This Is the more extraordinary be
cause In the roof there is a hole
scarcely larger than a man's nand;
but the shock was sufficient to reduce
the Interior to chaos.”
Ouo Instance
of escape from wreckage is de­
scribed as a freak that Is almost a
miracle. "Facing a huge chasm 20
feet square in the north wall In an

lovely bas-relief of the visit of the

way, as fresh looking as if It bad

limbs missing from the outside Btat

They look as if
they had been guillotined by the Ger­
mans; perhups It is because tho necks
are the slenderest parts of the images,
but it is almost tragic, although they
are but stone.
Here is the Sourlre

that stood over the north door. It was
noised abroad that It had been smug­
gled away and sold to an American
millionaire, but there Is no mistak­
ing the 'Smile' as It lies, brown and
chipped, on a bench—both eyes and

lip curving upward. It Is as If the

Easy Job.
This little example of Irish wit was
related at a recent dinner of the
Wheel Club;
A newly landed son of Erin was
gaping along a New York street when
he chanced to turn into the office of
a lawyer, thinking it was a store. He
was considerably impressed with the
fine furnishings, and approaching the
only occupant of the room, a man busy
at a desk, asked:
‘“ ‘Could you be telling what yon sell
here In this fine place?”
"Certainly,” was the retort, uttered
in rather an impatient tone. ‘‘W e sell
blockheads.”
The Irishman looked around and
nodded in understanding.
‘‘Sure and you must have a fine
trade. I ’m thinking.” he commented.
“ You have but one lift.”
