The Bulller was above all others
the ball of the students.
Through its vast doors passed many
generations. Grave and dignified doc-
tors, famous lawyers, celebrated art-
ists and inspired poets did not disdain
to give themselves to the joyous en-
tertainments of this dancing hall dur-
ing their student days In Paris. The
erratic and fastidious Whistler, Bou-
gereau, Constant, Thackeray and end
less numbers of men whose works are
living monuments, have all partlci
pated in the gayeties that occurred
weekly at this brilliant dancing hall,
where the little grisettes, the pretty,
saucy models and the dainty little sew-
ing girls created an atmosphere of
light-hearted beauty and effervescent
youth—the period iwhere dull care has
no foothold.

The Bal Bulller was first called "Le

spoken of in the romances of the
1850-60 period. It has outlived its
rival establishments, such as the fa-
mous Valentino and Mabllle. The In-
vasion of English and American fam-
ilies In this sacred domain of the "Four

The Atmosphere.
The height of the atmosphere above
the earth has never been ascertained
because no one has ever b^en able to
get far enough up to determine where
it ends. But it certainly spreads for
more than 50 miles from the solid sur-
face of the earth and from the liquid
surface of the sea.
Bismarck's Drink Capacity.
Bismarck Is credited with drinking
one gallon of French Brandy in a one-
night session. Bismarck claimed that
so long as alcohol wasted its effects
upon the brain in keeping up sprightly
thought and conversation it had little
effect on the rest of the system.
A certain English mayor whose pe-
riod -of office had come to an end, was
surveying the work of the year. "I
have endeavored," he said with an air
of conscious rectitude, "to administer
justice without swerving to partiality
on the one hand, or impartiality, on
the other."
