FACTS FROM FRANCE.
Complaint is made that out of 51,000
street lamps in Paris only 39,000 are
lighted at night
Skyscrapers are not wanted in Paris.
The new regulations limit the height of
a building to sixty-six feet.
Two motor cars are to be provided
for the free use of the tenants of some
fiats now being erected in Paris.
In France there are some roads
which are reserved for automobiles and
others on which they are not allowed.
The Paris Guulois thinks that the
collapse of the Grand Palais in the
Champs Elysees is only a question of
time. It was built iu the years 1896-
1900.
In the center of Paris there have
.been recently built several lurge "ho
tels" in which homeless men may for
4 cents get a plate of hot soup and an
all night seat on a bench. They are so
crowded that no one can lie down.

who works in a hair store. "A man
came into our place and asked to look
at some false beards. Of course be was
accommodated, and lie spent over an
hour going over the lot, trying them ou
and examining himself In a gluss. He
took up my time, and after lie hud ex
amined everything in that line In the
store lie thanked me und said he was
considering whether to raise a beard or
not und wished to see liow he would
look iu the different styles."

were dining at a country hotel. When
cheese was served, it was of u decided
"lively" brand, much to the delight of
the irrepressible. He attacked it with
great gusto, remarking, "I'm like Sam

"Yes," replied a quick witted diner at
the end of the table, "und with the

THE LABOR "SCAB."
Tle Difference Between I.efful Rlgbt
and Morul Obligation.
The doctrine that a man's right to sell
his labor when and where he pleases—
to be a "scab"—ls a right so sacred as
to transcend all others found a good
many defenders at the session of the
National Civic federation.
Mr. Samuel Gompers riddled this
plausible assumption, which Is so popu
lar among gentlemen who do not have
to work with their hands for a living.
He said:
"The labor union movement does not
deny a man's legal right to work for
whom and when and where he pleases,
but there is something apart from the
legal right, and that is moral obliga
tion."
He illustrated his point with the case
of a man who is free to set tire to a hut
that he has built out on the prairie,
but let him attempt to do that in one of
our cities und he will be put in Jail.
Out on the prairie he does himself the
only injury that is being done, but In
the city he endangers the life art'd prop
erty and peace of his neighbors.
If, expounded Mr. Gompers, the non
union man "did but himself a wrong,
we might pity him and concede not
only his legal but his moral right, but
the workman who tolls for wages and
expects to end his days In the wage
earning class is bound by duty to him
self, to his family, to his fellow men
and to those who come after him to Join
in the union with his fellow craftsmen.
"The workman who does not do this
is a traitor to his order. He wars upon
the union, which is battling for higher
wages and better conditions of life
battling for those things not only for
the members of the union, but for all
workmen, the 'scab' Included. There
fore the 'scab' excites hostility as a
wage cutter and is despised as an in
grate and a sneak."
Of course it is both legally and mor
ally wrong to offer violence to the
"scab." The state will rightly use its
whole power to protect him. Hut union
men, the men who make common
cause for the uplifting of labor, are
entirely Justitled in refusing friend
ship, fellowship and courtesy to the
renegade. He is made an outcast in
the world of labor, a world where
much work is done for small reward
and where there must be union if
strength is to be found to resist oppres
sion.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, now of the
United States supreme bench, when
chief Justice of the supreme court of
Massachusetts put the whole matter
clearly when he said:
"It must be true that when combined
they [the workingmen] have the same
liberty that combined capital has to
support their interests by argument,
persuasion and the bestowal or refusal
of those advantages which they other
wise lawfully control so long as they
do no violence or threaten no violence."
At the bottom of the fashionable in
sistence upon "the sacred right of a
free man to sell his lubor freely in a
free is Ignorance of existing
economic conditions.
When naturul resources are, as now,
monopolized and the public highways
are privately owned, there can be no
free market for labor. In the anthra
cite region, for example, the only thing
that stands between the worker and
starvation wfges is the miners' union.
Outside that union "the sacred right of
the free man to sell his labor freely in
a free market" amounts in actual prac
tice to his right to sell himself into vir
tual slavery to the coal trust.
Men cannot stand alone. They must
combine to enforce their rights and ad
vance their interests. The individual
who refuses to Join his fellows for the
common benefit, so far from being the
"hero" that President Eliot of Harvard
acclaims him, is the hut burner of Mr.
Gompers' illustration, a source of dan
ger to his fellows, a betrayer of the
common interest. He deserves no re
spect or good will from workingmen
and is entitled to no sympathy what
ever from anybody when he finds him
self disliked, looked down upon and
shunned by union men.
What the American Tory was to the
Revolutionary patriots the "scab" is to
wage earners who make sacrifices and
undergo hardships by which the "scab"
i must profit no less than they them
selves do. Were it not that unions raise
| wages the "scab" would not have the
' opportunity to cut wages, for without
unions the recompense of labor would
Lbe Just enough to sustain life. No won
der, then, that the union man feels to
ward the "scab" much as the Ameri
cans of Washington's time felt toward
! Benedict Arnold.—New York American.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Keeping Meat.
Ho? killing time Is naturally hailed
with pleasure by families who live In
the country far remote from market,
Rays Eleanor B. Parker iu Texas Stock
man and Farmer. The oue regret is
that It lasts such n short time, and I
want to tell some of the readers of
this paper how they keep bones and
fresh meat for some time without the
least injury. Secure from your drug
gist a l>ox of pure pulverized borax.
Sprinkle a little salt on the pieces of
meat and cover well with the borax.
It will not Injure the taste of the meat
and Is said by the best authority to be
perfectly harmless when used in this
way. It is also excellent to preserve
hams and shoulders and keep them
free from flies. It Is used for this pur
pose In the packing houses of large cit
ies. Leave the hams and shoulders in
salt as long as desired. Take them
out, wash and dry carefully, covering
the flesh side with the borax. Be care
ful to put it In every crevice where a
fly might locate. Some immerse the
Joints in strong pepper tea before using
the borax. This Is scarcely necessary,
but will do no harm. Meat treated In
this way may be left hanging in the
smokehouse all summer without sack
ing.
Cuttlnfr Wood Lota.
We scarcely need to suggest the cut
ting of wood to the farmers this win
ter. The high prices that have pre
vailed have made many a farmer who
has a wood lot decide that another
winter will not find him without a good
supply of eordwood ready for market
if the supply of coal Is short. The
question with many will be whether to
cut all clean us they go or leave the
younger trees and merely thin out the
older ones that have but little more
growth to make. We favor the latter
plan when one can cut the larger trees
without having them break the smaller
ones as they fall. When this cannot
well be done, it Is better to cut clean
and then as new sprouts come up keep
them so thinned out as to give each a
chance to grow Independently of the
others. In twenty years there will not
l>e as many trees, but there will prob
ably be more wood, and In forty years
twice as much wood, with more growth
to come In some varieties.—American
Cultivator.
The Beat Cttlaen.
"Why are you forever patting the
farmer 011 the back and picturing him
as a saint?" asks a city reader. We
are not patting anybody 011 the back,
and there are very few saints 011 earth.
A farmer can be just as mean as a
coal baron or a railroad magnate if he
wants to, though happily his meanness
would not touch so many people. We
do say that farm life gives a man and
his family the chance to develop in the
most natural and harmonious way.
The furmer who is true to his calling
und mokes most of his advantages is
the best citizen in the country. We do
not say the richest or the most influen
tial in politics, but the best. Why,
there are some good folks who suy that
when we demand the common rights
which belong to the farmer we are
preaching revolutionary doctrine! What
difference does it muke what they call
It? The demand will go on!
Tuk Core of Your Tools.
Implements not in use need shelter as
much as horses or cows or people. The
ancient custom of putting the wagon
under a tree prevails 011 some farms to
day; also the ancient custom of leaving
the plows against the field fence and
storing the cultivator on the north side
of the barn or stable is still practiced
to some extent. Is it any wonder that
such careless wastefulness entails com
parative poverty and superlative dissat
isfaction with the things of this world,
political, social and economical? He
member that in consequence of these
practices you have to buy twice as
ninny implements In a given time as
would be necessary If they were prop
erly cared for, and, besides, the work
with these would be better and more
easily done.
Root Tubercle* on Legume*.
E. Laurent of the French Academy
of Science experimented with fertili
zers 011 various legumes, such as peas,
hairy vetch and common vetch. lie
found that the plat treated with a ni
trogenous fertilizer tended to form few
er root tubercles, while the plat treated
with potassic fertilizer made them
nbundautly. After awhile the plants
grown continuously with a nitrogenous
fertilizer only failed entirely to make
root tubercles in that soil, but when
planted in other soil made them again.
On the plats treated with potash there
was no diminution of the tubercles. It
seems evident that these legumes not
only do not need the nitrogen, but the
application of nitrogen hinders their
getting it from the air.—Practical Farm
er.
Thrifty She# •
To keep the sheep in r.'- t l condition
they should be fed some Kind of juicy
food. Chopped potatoes are excellent.
Sheep are often neglected In the mat
ter of water supply, but they need and
appreciate plenty of water as well as
do other farm animals.
Ewes with lambs at their sides should
be fed with a safe grain ration, such
I as one composed of Ave parts oats, one
part peas, two parts corn, giving a
pound of this mixture to each ewe.

SMILE AS YOU GO.
Everybody Love* the Man Wjth a
Shining Countenance.
Brighter than the moat brilliant of
gems, electrifying with a radiance that
does not dazzle so much as it calls
forth a reflection of brightness, is the
shining countenance.
The soul of each man is a sun of in
finite energy aud glorious light. But
how few allow themselves to shine!
How few faces are lit up with their
possible divine life!
Take your thoughts away from the
swumps of fear aud evil, center them
ou the Uleala of faith and love, on good
Intentions for others, and your counte
nance is at once Illuminated.
Look In a mirror, and you shall see
that my words are true. Absolve your
self of all troubles, be peaceful, he
still, cense all your repining; then your
countenance will shine.
That such an Instantaneous physical
change can take place by a change of
thought suggests what power there Is
In a renewed habit of thought, n habit
created by repeated conscious repose
ful efforts of calm, concentrated think
ing 111 line with the Ideal.
Not only Is the countenance changed
by a bright thought, but the whole
body. The atoms ore so many vortices
of ether, and the central force of each
Is the mind.
A shining countenance Is a smiling
countenance. Look on life rightly, and
you cannot but be pleased. Then you
will smile, you will laugh with joy, he
cause of life's possibilities.
You have perhaps desired to reach
greater heights of power. You will
reach them easier If you will hut smile
as you go.
There Is every reason why the heart
should be glnd, aud your love for oth
ers will show this so. This Is the sun
shine that expresses Itself In your
countenance. The mere fuct of loving
drives away fear and darkness. All
false conceptions of duty, the conclu
sions of a biased reasoning, vanish nt
the appearance of love.
Every one loves the sunshiny days,
and every one loves the man whose
soul or Individual sun shines through
his face.
Such a man will be trusted wherever
he Is. He Is an Interpreter of life; he
will intuitively grusp the meaning of
things; lie will be welcomed every
where; he will recognize all and he will
he recognized by all; he will he re
ceived as the Son of Man, a true exem
plar of his race, a leader In the evolu
tion of humanity; he will he an encour
agement and an Incentive to all.
A shining countenance is first of all
an Immediate phenomenon expressive
of the proof of right thinking, and the
same source of this illustration con
tains the potency of completely chang
ing character, body, surroundings, of
Influencing the person, the community,
the race, of Issuing forth from Its in
finite, solar center great stream of life,
giving out more vigor, raising the whole
realm of existence to the higher plane.

Too Generon*.
"What was the trouble between Ara
bella and her young man that they
gave up the idea of marrying?" asked
a former resident of Busliby.
"Arabellu was always techy," said
the young lady's aunt, with imperson
ul calmness, "and that was the trouble
—that and her being so literal. It's a
terrible resky combination o' quali
ties.
"They kept having hitches all along,
but come Christmas time Albert asked
her right up and down what she want
ed, for fear of making the wrong choice,
and she said, 'You can give me enough
candy to All my slipper,' looking at
him real coy.
"Well, her feet aren't as small as
some, but that wasn't his idea. 'Twas
bgcause he's generous and not literal.
He sent her a five pound box, poor, de
luded critter, and she up and broke the
engagement, and Ills little sister ate
the candy and enjoyed it, by what I
bear."—Youth's Companion.
In n Critical Attitude.
SoiAe people seem to be born in an
unhappy frame of mind. They cannot
admire excellency without making
some comment 011 deficiencies. With
them the "times are always out of
joint." They are simply in a critical
attitude, and nothing except grumbling
will satisfy their morbid condition, says
the Pittsburg Tress. They remind one
very strikingly of the old lady who,
when she was asked how she felt, re
plied that she felt better, but thnt
when she felt better she always felt
worse, as she knew if she felt better
she was going to have a worse spell

THE ART OF LACEMAKING.
A Renaissance Centerpiece and How
It Is 1111111 L'p.
The difference between embroidery
and lace Is a radical one and Involves
a definition of both 111 order to be ex
plained. Embroidery presupposes a fab
ric. something to answer as a ground
through which the stitches can be tak- '
en. Lace is made complete. Both the
pattern und Its ground have to be built
up. It Is an entire creation with liotb- |
lng to start from, as It were—stitches j

lace" Is made by hand, either with the
needle or ou a pillow with bobbins, aud,
RENAISSANCE CENTERPIECE.
as everybody knows, the process is a
most tedious and trying one as well as
one which requires great skill.
The lira id laces are a compromise be
tween real and machine made laces,
and if well executed they are very
beautiful as well as valuable. The real
lace stitches are used In this work to
weave together the braid which forms
the design. Our illustration is a very
fine example of the Battenburg or Re
naissance lnce. Lace centerpieces over
white cloths are very dainty and are
used now quite as much as the em
broidered ones.
This kind of lace is made over a de
sign stamped on cambric. The braid is
made to follow the lines of the pattern.
The design of this centerpiece is a very
rich one, and the braid is so closely
laid that there Is not as much work on
the piece as one might imagine. The
tine linen center, a delicate filmy piece
of French lawn, is basted over the
plain center of the eamlirie. and the
braid is then basted over the lines or
bars of the pattern. The basting of
litis work must be done with groat
care. Lay the braid on tlie pattern and
sew>lt through t lie center with rather
fine hi itches. When this is all fastened
to the cambric backing, the lace stitch
es are woven into the spaces between
with linen thread, thus uniting the
whole Into one delicate fabric. The
spider web work is usually made to fill
in the background spaces, and the
more complicated stitches are used in
the spaces of the design.
The foundation of the lace stitches is
buttonhole work, and nearly all the
stitches are modifications of it. The
edge of the design which touches the
linen is buttonholed all the way
around after the cambric is removed
from the back of the completed laee by
ripping out ibe basting. It is evident i
that n new fabric is made, with the j
exception of the linen center.
Many of the finest needle point laces
are made after this plan—that Is. the
design Is marked" on a fabric, and the
mesh is lmilt upon it, but independent
of It.—Lilian Barton Wilson In Collier's
Weekly.
Tnnte In Drenn Versus Money.
A woman would often insure greater
success by giving a day or two to tho
study of her gown and how to put it
011 and all its accessories than in buy
' ing another and a very one.
j She would give expression and indi
viduality to her dress. All should
! know the colors that suit them, but
they must bear in mind that what is
becoming at seventeen may not suit at
seven-and-twenty and Is very likely to
look grotesque at seven-and-thirty.
Many women who, keeping in their
minds the ideal of youth, follow in the
same lines at forty-seven for their
pains look nearer fifty-seven or sixty
seven than youngerlt is quite absurd
to wear what is fashionable, but unbe-
coming. The first duty of a woman Is to
dress to look well, and It does not come
within her obligation to be a mere
block for tho display of her dressmak
er's inventions.
Clean the Sink.
Don't let your kitchen sink get clog
ged with grease and crumbs. Keep a
strainer over the waste pipe and wash
the sink out thoroughly after every
meal. It is a good plan after dinner, If
you have had chops or anything spe
cially greasy, to flush the pipe with a
hot sal soda solution. If a stone sink
gets a coating of grease, sprinkle with
chloride of lime, let It remain over
night, and the next morning wash with
hot water. Attention to these details
will prevent both the advent of roaches
and the escape of noxious odors.
Gam Water.
To make gum water take one ounce
of the best picked gum arable and one
quart of water, put the gum to tho
water In a stoppered bottle and put In
a warm pluee, occasionally shaking
till all is dissolved. A teaspoonful tak
en occasionally for troublesome coughs
Is useful in allaying irritation.
To Ilnve Clear Window.,
Tiie easiest and best way to clean
windows is to have two chamois cloths.
Dust the window panes; then partly
wring out a chamois In cold or slightly
warm, clear water. Hub the window,
wring out the other chamois well nnd
go over the window again. Do not try
to dry the windows.
