A MAKER OF SAINTS,
An Establishment in Parts That Has
Been Krodncittg the figmea ter
Over a Cent ary.
The firm of Iiaffl, in Paris, has been
In existence for over a eentury, but it
is only six years since M. Pa-cheu, with
whom a M. Leoaron is associated, took
over the business, says Pearson’s Mag
azine,
“This making of saints,” he said,
~wa« a business which, when I decided
to engage in industry, appealed to me
most strongly. It is an industry for a
man who is fond of frequenting the
public libraries, who takes Ins pleas
ure In poring over old books and docu
ments, who delights in research. Thus
I do not know of anything that give*
me greater pleasure than when 1 urn
written to about some saint concern
ing whom the customer can give me
1 few if any details. One has to hunt up
the particulars, the period in which he
lived, the costumes of that period, to
find out what were his sj>ecial attri
butes, what was his martyrdom, if \
martyrdom there was,
“Tii us fome time ago we received
from a priest in the south of France
an order for a statue of St, Fris. I
lied never heard of such a saint, nor '
does he figure in our catalogue, though 1
that massive volume contains over ISO
closely-printed pages of the names of
saints. We applied to a priest who
is a great authority on this subject,
and we learned that St. Frie was a cap- ,
tain of barbarians under the Roman
denomination, and that he was mar
tyred at the age of 20. This gave u*
the period, and the rest was easy.
“Again, on another occasion, we
were asked t-o make a statue of a Rte.
Arne, of whom we knew nothing but
t1>at she was a widow. We bad to find
out everything else about her. But
once we know the period our task be
comes easier. The period indicates the
eoetuine. Thus recently we had to
make a 8t. Mnurioe. We knew that he
was a captain, that he was a Roman,
and we dressed him with the breast
plate and the helmet of a Roman cap- i
tain.” j
THE TROJAN HORSE TO DATE.

Tbetr Baabten,
Even in these latter days an intelli
gent study of the ancient classics may
prove a valuable asset to the consci
entious student. That, at least, is what
one gathers from the exploits of the
pair of Parisian knights of the order
of industry who stole a dummy horse
from a saddler’s shop, and proceeded
to put it to the same use as the Greeks
did the Wooden Horse of Troy, reports
the London Graphic.
The deceptive quadruped was placed
on a handcart and wheeled to a house
where an innocent concierge consented
to take care of ft for the night. Before
morning one of the confederates had
emerged from the interior of the
horse, laid hands on such valuables as
he could find, and regained his hiding
place—to be duly carted away by his
friend.
This stratagem was actually success
ful several times—for good “M. Pips
let” had, no doubt, never heard a cer
tain trite tag about gift-bearing
Greeks, and the legitimate suspicion
with which prudent Trojans should re
gard such. At last, however, a police
man happened to see the horse passing
through the streets, and, having heard
of its exploits, made bold to stop it—
and the game was up. Even good Ho
mer nods—and the students of the
band were caught napping. Clearly,
however, there is still money to be
made out of a sound classical educ*
tion.
