Business List of Popular Yankee
Adoptions Starts Alarm for the Safe
ty of Native Crafts.
Paris. France Is again plunged
Into woo because of the "American In
vasion," and the newspapers are Join
ing in n cry of "Wolf!" lest Krench
commerce be seriously hit because of
the growing favor of American goods
for common use among the people to
the neglect of native manufactures.
Figaro started the cry. possibly
with sensational intent. Statistics
came to its support in such volume
that other newspapers were forced to
take it up, and now it Is sounding
from one end of the country to the
other.
The first count In the indictment is
that the people arc taking to Ameri
can shoes. In the beginning the
broad too and common sense heel
were ridiculed, and native shoemakers
felt not the slightest fenr that their
narrow-toed, spindle-heeled creations
could be supplanted.
"Fancy these ugly creations in our
museums beside the dainty shapes
that have come down to us from Mario
Antoinette," they said.
That was the trouble. Styles in
shoes had not changed since the sup
posed perfection of model was found
a century and a quarter ago. All the
same the "ugly" footwear has become
so much the vogue that nil must wear
it who wish to be considered well
dressed. Almost weekly new shops
appear to handle only the American
article, and even the shoemakers who
turned their original scorn into argu
ment to prove that the American shoe
was not suited to the French foot, are
now hurrying to get into line with
advertisements that they are making
American shapes.
The fact is that conversion to the
new style has come because no French
wearer having once enjoyed the com
fort of an American shoe could bo in
duced to go back to the old footgear,
and when the movement got fairly go
ing there was no stopping it. Cer
tainly it has ceased to bo true Mat
an American is to be spotted in Paris
by his feet.
Roller skating is another American
invasion. It was not so difficult to in
troduce as shoes, being a diversion
that suited the French love of easy
and stimulating sport. American com
panies have opened four big rinks
this season and all are literally and
figuratively doing a rushing business.
It Is reported that Frank Hostnck.
who owned the Hippodrome, has tak
en the Pari3 Zoo In order to remodel
it on American lines.
American hotels are coming Into
view apart from the hostelries that
have always looked out for tourists,
and American patent medicines are
sold everywhere.
The newspapers print a long list -of
other forms of' invasion all truo
enough, but adding to the sum of
comfort and pleasure of the public at
large.

MOTHER'S SACRIFICE.

Baltimore. Md. Sacrificing herself
for her child, Mrs. Clarence Boyd this
afternoon submitted at the Franklin
Square Hospital to the removal of 288
Bquaro Inches of skin from her limbs
to bo grafted upon her fourteen-year-old
daughter Helen. Tho cuticle was
attached to scarred places on tho
child's body, caused by a flro two
months ago, in which the girl was
nearly burned to death.

An Instance Showing That Hospital
ity Is not Always Appreciated.
Southern hospitality Is proverbially
generous. In "The Old Dominion"
II Thomas Nelson Pago recounts
an Instance showing that this hospi
tality was not always appreciated. A
BiU'Ft asked the loan of a horse to
carry him to his next stopping-place,
a town which lay at a considerable
distance. The hoit accordingly lent
him his lurse, and sent along n negro
boy It was heforo the war to bring
the horse back.
After several days the boy was still
missing, and somo one was sent to
hunt him up. The messenger found
him at last. am. demanded why he
had not returned with the horse
" 'Cause dat gent'man done sell do
horse." was the reply.
"Well, why iHdn't you come back
and say so?"
"HI! Ho done sell me, too," said
the boy.
Calling the Deaf.
"To waken a deaf person who
wishes to be called at a certain tlmo
In the morning is about tho hardest
proposition a hotel clerk runs up
against" raid a member of that fra
tonity. "To ring the telephone is use
less because tho man can't hear.
Knocking, for the same reason, is
futile. Now and then a guest who
has lost his hearing suggests that he
leave his door open so wo can walk
right in and shake him, but even If
he does appear to be dead game there
are so many chances of somebody less
guileless than ourselves walking in
ahead of us that we can't consent to
that simple expedient.
"It seems to me the man who can
patent a device for waking tho deaf is
sure of fame and fortune, not to men
tion tthe gratitude of the brotherhood
of hotel clerks."
A Substitute.
Irish wll Is as excellent as It is pro
verbial. A writer in the Mariner's
Advocate tells the story of a ship doc
tor on an English liner wno notified
the death-watch steward, a Hibernian,
that a man had died in stateroom forty-five.
The usual instructions to
bury tho, body wero given. Some
hours later the doctor peeped into
the room and found that the body
j was still there.
Ho called the matter to the atten
j tlon of the Irishman, who replied:
"I thought you said room forty-six.
I wint in there and sen wan of thim
in a bunk. 'Are ye dead?' says I.
'No,' says he, 'but I'm pretty near
dead.' So I was getting ready to
bury him."
A Few Things Worth Knowing.
Cork will not rine if sunk twenty
feet below water.
The negro republic of Liberia has
twenty-two species of rubber trees.
Korea, with a population of 20,000,
000, consumes S40,000,000 cigarettes
yearly.
Sixty years ago the use of flint nnd
steel to produce a fire was not wholly
urknown.
Vegetarian experts assert that one
acre of land will comfortably support
four persons on a vegetable diet.
Original New England.
Tue original New England was on
the Pacific, and not on tho Atlantic
coast. When Sir Francis Drake land
ed on American shores in 1779, ho
took possession of the country for
Queen Elizabeth, calling it "Nova Al
bion," meaning New England. The
States of New Hampshire, Massachu
setts, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Isl
and Vermont have, therefore, appro
priated the name which should ie
long to California.
Third Class Express.
One of tho most popular trains in
India is a tliiru-class express on tho
East Indian lino. First and secord
class passengers are not admitted to
It. Its success lies In the fact that it
Is strictly a thlrd-claHS express. The
train Is the pride of the general man
ager, and pays well. It Is alwpys
crammed full, though no passenrer
has a ticket for a Journey shorter than
200 miles.
A Queer Fish.
Tho mud-skipper is one of the queer
est fishes alive. It really is a fish and
lives in the water, but it can climb
out on to the shore and crawl. It likes
to clamber up on to roots of trees and
perch there. Another funny thing
about it Is that it breathes with its
tail! The Bkin there Is very thin, and
the fish breathes U rough it quite
easily.
Smokers Restricted.
Thero was a time not so long ngo
wlion oven men only smoked on suffer
ance and in banishment. In country
houses the smoking-room was too
often a small dark hole on tho sun
less side of tho house, to which tho
votary of tho weed betook himself as
to somo dreary retreat, divided be
tw en his cravings for a plpo and ills
desire to get into more cheerful sur
roundings. Today Indiscriminate
smoking prevails.
The Park.
Two small girls from the slums,
each with a tiny baby brother in hor
arms, stood poering through the iron
railings of a city park. Said one:
"Could we go in the park, tinl:?"
"Taln't no park," replied tha other,
contemptuously, 'Mat's grass."
Heavy Funeral Bill.
New York City pays a large funeral
bill. It coBts the city S2.o0 to bury
ach of the unclaimed bodies, that
pass through the morgue, and there
are about 9,40 of them in the course
ef a year.
TEXAS AN ORANGE STATE.
Claimed That Callfo-nla Han Three
. Freezes to One on tho Gulf. 0
icxas is a migniy uig siuto, nnti tier
people nre dotnf, all they can to pur
suade Northerners to so.'tlo where

Texns newspapers report the nrrlval
nt Houston and Galveston cf thou
sands of homc-scckers. In Houston
such visitors are greeted with rosoi,
each homo seeker receiving one, the
product of tho homo gardens In mid
winter. It is claimed that hundreds
of these pro3pec'.lvo settlers had sold
their farms In tho North and stood
ready to buy In tho Lone Star State.
"They prefer working a tcn-acro
tract that will produce as much as
twice that acreage In the North, nnd
putting tho rest In their pockets."
Meanwhile attention Is called to the
growth of the orange Industry In the
Texas coast country from tho Sablno
to tho Rio Grande. It is claimed that
the California orange district has
three frosts and freezes to one in tho
Texas coast country, and that the
quality of tho Texas yield is tho best.
This Ever Happen to You?
"Hero, girl," called out tho man in
tho restaurant, sharply, glaring at tho
little waitress from over the top of
his menu, "aren't you going to t.-.ke
my order to-day? I've been waiting
hero for about ten minutes to give my
orders to somebody."
Tho girl hustled over to his table.
"What w.il you have?" she Inquired.
The man continued to look at tho
sheet of food quotations.
"Hum," he grunted, apologetically,
"I have not decided what I want yet."
"I'll bo back in Just a minute," said
tho girl. "You can bo plckin' out
what you want." And away she went.
Tho man scowled after her and then
went at tho Job of picking out eno gh
things for a meal. It was some no
mcnts before tho girl got back, but
the man didn't say anything. It's em
barrassing sometimes not to have your
order ready.
Fishing By Telephone.
Consul i.ouls Goldschmidt, of Nan
tes, France, makes the retort that a
use for the telephone in llshin& has
Just been Invented in Norway. A
microphone, the role of which consists
in amplifying submarine sounds, is
shut up In a thin, water-tight steel
box and kept in constant communica
tion by metallic wires with a tele
phonic receivir installed on the f'sh-
ing boat. It is stated that with this J
aparatus the fisherman is alwayr ,n
formed of tho approach of iish. More
over, it Is said that each kind of -ish
gives in the instrument a particular
sound. Thus the arrival of herring U
signalized by a sort of whistling; the
codfish announces its arrival in tho
neighoorhood by a sort of grunting.
Consular Report.
What He Needed.
Supt McLare.., of San Francisco's
system of public parks, was inspect
ing the work of restoring Union
Square to its former beauty, now
th..t the little St. Francis has been
removed.
"I'm for heavin this un out; it's a
bum little bush," remarked a garden
er with a brogue.
"Which one?" Inquired McLaren.
"You don't mean this beautiful little
Scotch heather? All it needs is more
wrter, and it will grow as tall as you
are."
'You're not very tall yourself, Mr.
McLaren."
"Not extraordinarily so."
' I say, Mr. McLaren," reflected tho
gardener, thoughtfully, "did you ever
try water yourself?"
The Ideal Listener.
An attentivo listener Is a Joy, but
an inattentive ono is a trial to the
soul. Listen with your eyes, your
whole face, your heart and your mind
and you will achieve a triumph. Look,
directly at tho person talking to you
and never allow your gaze to bo de
flected to other things which may be
happening about you, for this at onco
shows lack of genuine Interest in
what Is being said to you, and natural
ly gives offense.
Italian Villa Habit.
It is Impossible for tho Italians to
get away from their villa habit. In
Italy every little shanty you moot on
the roadside is villa something or
other, tho smaller the shanty the long
er the namo. Down in Grand street
you como across tho grandiose names
of Villa Penza, Villa Gordiolo, Villa
Marcaronl above tho measliest of
small places, where they dish you up
spaghotti for tho sum of ten cents
with a small glass of wlno for five.

KING INAUGURATED
International Bible Lesson for Jan. 9,
1010 (Matt. 3:13-17; Matt. 4:1-11).
The gospol of
Matthew was
written by a .low,
t o converted
Jews to prove
thnt Jesus Christ
was tho Jewish
Messiah. Tho au
thor, Matthew,
was a converted
custom house of
ficer, or tax gath
erer, who had
given up his bus
iness nt tho per
sonal invitation
of Christ, to become an Itinerant
preacher of the gospel He proclaimed,
'ul:y persuaded in his own mind that
nta Mastor wns what He claimed to
ie. the King of tho Jews. Hcnco,
lie gospol of Matthew Is full of refer
ences to the Old Testament, tho Jew-
ah scriptures, 65 passages being quot
ed from the prophecy and tho hopo of
,'irncl. The genealogy of Christ ho
Tares back to King David to Bhow
'hat he has the right to sit as David's
cn upon David's throne. Thus we
On (I tho word kingdom 56 times in
his gospel, tho phrase, "the kingdom
of heaven," 21 times, and nowhere
el?e in tho New Testament. Matthew,
all the way through sots forth
the fact that "This is Jesus, the king
of the Jews. We havo seen the her
ald of tho king In John the Baptist.
Notice now, the inauguration of tho
king.
Inaugural Ceremony.
Monarchs are inducted into office
by solemn ceremonies, and from the
moment when they are Invested with
the purple they break away from the
old life and nil things become new.
Baptism was an ordinance of God, In
troductory to the new dispensation,
and as such Jesus submitted to it. And
whllo, In His case, it was not an act
expressive of confession of sin, It was
His Investiture with tho awful dignity
of tho Messiah, a ceremony in which
tho opening heavens and the De
scending Spirit bore witness to tho
divine approval and consecration. For
tho people, baptism was the symbol
of their separation from sin and conse
cration to God; In His case it was the
symbol of separation from His hither
to private life and tho assumption of
his royalty as Messiah-King. John
had opened the door of the new king
dom. From the wilderness of Bin the
people had flocked Into It. Now from
the seclusion of thirty years of prepar
ation Jesus entered It as both King
and Priest. Hero is where Ho took
up His royal prerogatives. Here He
received the seal of His mission the
fullness of power by the Holy Spirit.
And hero tho proclamation is made in
reverberating thunder from tho open
mi heavens, "This is My Beloved Son,
In whom I am well pleased!"
The King Tested.
No sooner was the King inaugurat
ed than He was tested as to His king
ly qualities. It must bo shown to all
the ages that He reigned by divine
right, that Ho was holy, harmless, un
dented, separate from sinners. Or,
ns tho Scripture puts, "Then was
Jc3us led up of the spirit into the
wilderness to bo tempted of the devil."
Whatever else is Involved in those
words, it is pretty certain that dur
ing that forty days, two kingdoms met
In Inexorable warfare, nnd at its close
Christ stood forth the conqueror over
every posslblo temptation that can ap
peal to man.
Three-Fold Temptation.
Lyman Abbott sums up tho tempta
tions: Tho tomptatlon waB three-fold
and It took placo In regular progres
sion. Tho first appealed to tho body;
tho second to love of ndmlration; tho
third to love of power. The first was
to more bodily appetite; tho second
to a more honorable deslro for fame;
tho third to a noble nmbltlon pervert
ed. The first called for an act miracu
lous; tho second for one ostentatious
and presumptuous; the third for ono
blasphemously wicked. The first was
disguised as nn appeal to reason; tho
socond was speciously an appeal to
the Scriptures; the third was a bold and
naked revelation of Satan. Tho first
was the most deceptlvo; the second
tho most plausible; tho third tho most
audacious. In the first Satan tried to
mislead by hiding the sin; In the sec
ond, by sanctioning tho sin, because
of tho greater good to be accomplished
by it; in the third, to compensate for
sin by a promised reward.
The First Adam and the Second.
It Is interesting to trace in Christ's
temptation, a perfect nnology to the
temptation in tho Gardon of Eden.
There, as here, the appeal was made
to the lust of tho fiosh, tho lust of the
eyes, and the pride of life. The ap
peal was first to appetite. Eve saw
that the tree was good for food. The
appeal was next to tho aesthetic na
ture. She saw that It was pleasant to
the eyas. And thirdly, the appeal was
to spiritual prlda. She saw that the
tree waa to be desired to make one
wise. In tha Brat Instance the attack
succeeded; In tha second It failed.
The flrat Adant fall In a garden; the
second Adaw waa a victor In a wilder
new; Xtia. Ike flrat waa eonqnered

ness; AAaa. tha mmobA, eo&quored In

Life In An Oasis.

ort has rendered easy tho approach
o the oasis of Khargeh, which Is re
.rded as n typical example of these
oliited centers of life. For three
