The Paris Temps points out truly
enough that France has made consid-
cradle progress since 1915 toward the
creation of a vast colonial empire. At
the close Of the Napoleonio wars the
colonies Of France consisted of Mar.
tinique, Guadalupe, Guiana, Reunion,
Senegal, Pondicherry, a few other
posts in India, st. Pierre and
Miguelon. The population of these
countries, stations and islands
amounted to about 100000 souls, and
their trade with France did not ex-
coed $4,000. Now. according to the
estimate Of the Temps the popu-
lation OF the above named possess
sioas is not less than one million,
while the trade between them and
France aggregates nearly $50, 000, 900.
The Paris papers call attention to
these figures 10 order to show that the
policy Of colonial extension is profit
able from a commercial point of view.
Since 1875, moreover, France has con-
quered and annexed Algeria and COM
siderably extended her domains on the
west coast OF Africa; she has added
New Caledonia and other islands in
the Pacific, and she has recently ac-
quired Tunis.
Algeria alone has added several
hundred millions Of francs to French
commerce. Hence IL is argued that
what is now sought is not SO much the
establishment as the development Of

A beautiful person is the natural from

DO Birds Think?

''Do birds think? Let me tell you of
little bird l once owned The little
bird was female knocking bird who had
nest of young ones about week old.
The baby birds were never healthy, in
heriting weakness from their father,
who had asthma Early one morning
was awakened by the mother bird
standing on my pillow pouring into my
ear the most mournful notes | ever
heard. / knew something was wrong
and arose at once. The mother flew to
her nest, then looked to see if | was
following, which | was. As soon as |
had reached the nest, she took hold of
one of the baby birds wings, pinched
it gently with her beak and watched it
eagerly, | think, to see if it moved.
Then she took hold of one of the feet
and pinched it in the same manner, and
finding it did not move, she looked up
at me in pleading way, as if she
wanted me to try and waken them. |

She stood aside and looked on with as
much interest and feeling apparently as
any young human mother.
II examined the lifeless little bodies,
and when | withdrew my hand the
mother FASTENED to hover over the little
ones, seeming to think that If she could
warm them they would awaken. In a
few moments she hoped off the nest,
looked at her babies, held food close to
their mouth, and coaxed and called
them, but in vain. She flew all around
the room, as if in search of some un-
tried remedy. Several times she
perched on my shoulder, and looked so
distressed and pitiful l could hardly
keep from crying. put her in cage
and hung her in the sunshine and wait
ed patiently to see if she wouid become
quiet. She took bath, but still re-
manned nervous and seemed anxious.
and by and grew so restless | had to
take her out of the cage and let her go
to her nest again.
"She stood quite while looking AT

Like Other Women.

Two incidents told of the Empress OF
Austria indicate that Queen is but a
woman and hath "that within which
passeth show A gentleman had the
pleasure of meeting informally the En-
press at Schonbrunn. While standing
near him, waiting for her horse, the
Empress drew on her glove, and,
though her tire-woman stood beside
her, she felt about in the mysterious
recesses of hair under her hat, pulled
out long hair-pin, and with it she but
toned the glove. My friend held the
hair-pin while she drew on the other
glove, which she also @hair-pinned" to-
gether L must remember that to tell
my wife, he said to himself.
A very touching story was told me
once of this woman by former Aide
de-Camp of the Emperor, who wit
messed it.
After the burial of her child, as she
was ascending the staircase, she met
upon it large dog that the child had
loved.
In the presence of all the courtiers
and lookers-on she threw herself upon
the stair and put her arms about its
neck. and there for several minutes she
sobbed aloud, the dog seeming to un.
derstand her.
Till its death that dog was her con.
slant outdoor companion, and usually
followed her about the palace.

What PlOwed Ground Pays Farmers.

Take one illustration of the magni-
tude of our agriculture. Omitting the
pastoral interest, which exceeds any
other one; also leaves out garden and
fruit products, root crops, rye, barley.
peas, beans, in short everything except
four leading crops grown on titled
ground, viz, corn, wheat, oats, and
cotton. The total yield of these for the
present and past four years aggregate
in round numbers, about eight hundred
and twenty-five million bushels of corn;
twenty-three hundred million bushels
each of wheat and oats. and thirty mil
ion bales of cotton. If we estimate the
average money value to the actual pro
ducers on the farm, and for the crops
sold and used by themselves. at seventy
cents per bushel for wheat, thirty cents
per bushel for corn and oats. and thirty
tve dollars per bale for cotton, we have
the soil yielding in these four plowed
crops alone, over five thousand seven
hundred and thirty-two million dollars
or over eleven hundred and forty-six
million dollars every year!-a sum so
vast as to be beyond actual compre-
hension. All other pursuits sink into
insignifcance in comparison with that
of the farmer.--Americdn Agriculturist
