MODEST VICTOR HUGO.
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.

THE 0VARINAS.
Picturesque Barefooted Fish Hawkers
of Portugal.
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.

When visitors came, Bobby was

Bobby was transferred to his garret
quarters In tin Me and with mini II cere
mony, and neglected to take any pre
cautions to guard Ills treasures.
"I have to I haul; the thoughtful per

Onco upon a time a crocodile stole a

"Tell me one truth and you shall
have your baby again."
The mother replied, "You will uoi
glvo him back to me."
"Then." snld tho crocodile, "by our
agreement I shall keep til in, for If you
have told the truth 1 am not going to

But the mother said. "If 1 told you
