Esplanade stTeet-now the fashionable creole
quarter-bear witness.
Some, it is true of the old families have
sunk into poverty and Obscurlty; but taken
as whole, the creoies have he'd their own
brayely. Hamperrd by traditions of luxury
and leisure, the struggle of the young men
has been hard one. They are further
oYer-welghted for the reason that they have
generous objection 10 letting the women of
their family work as bread-winners. and al
though the latter may perform prodgies of
economy, yet, when there is only one wage
Garner and many dependents. the strain
must necessarily be severe. The sons of
the rlch are given university education and
the choice OF profession, whereas COM
merce Is the resort of those upon whom the
need OF an immediate income is pressing.
One of the most marked trails of the
creole temperament is buOyaucy. They
know how to enjoy. They carry lightly
that yoke Of labor. which seems to press so
heavily upon English-Speaking peoples.
The wisdom of inhaling the perfume of
the moment is known to them. They do
not 60 forth on a gala day TO push and shove
and grow; they brush little annOyanceS
aside With laugh and Jest; in a crowd
they are gay and gOod-natured. Both men
and naidens are pasSionately fond of dane

make their enthusiasm flag. The love of
music is deep-rooted in their natures; il is to

LIVING IN THE DARK.


Faith and Love Are Bright Things Which
Money Cannot Purchase.
Mrs. Jefferson, the wife of wealthy gen.
tleman in New York, wished one day TO
send some directions to seamstress.
81 will drive over to see her," she said
ut is easier to explain what | desire to be
done by talking than by writing"
The girl was found in poor little house
by the roadside just out Of the city. She
came out, smiling, to meet her customer,
and as Mrs. Jefferson entered the house the
father and mother, white-haired old Ger
MANS rose to greet her, their faces beaming
with kindness-and welcome.
The room was bare but clean. An open
Bible lay on the stand; a fat cat slept Ia the
sun by The door. But Mrs. Jefferson's eyes
were fixed with delight on the roses that
climbed over the side of the house and the
plants that filled the window.
''How is this, Mary" she said. 81 am

Why is it?"
1--WE have the sun and air, madam" said
Mary. "That is ALL"
As Mrs. Jefferson drove homeward these
words remained IN her mind. She was an
noyed at her failure with flowers. She had
never considered money in the purchase of
the costliest roses and the rareSt orchids,
but their beauty soon faded Money could
not bring sunlight and fresh air into her
stately, dark palace. 1t seemed to Mrs.
Jefferson, as she drove on silently, that there
were other flowers which would not bloom
in her house. She aud her husband and
daughter lacked no luxury which wealth
could command. They were people of cul-
ture; they had Travelled everywhere and
were we'll received in society, yet there
was little of brightness in their lives! A
laugh was rarely heard or look of affec-
ton exchanged among them.
1.-THE sum-" she thought, bitterly, "does
not shine into our house! There is no love
there to make us happy and light hearted"
1t was only too true. Her husband fretted
necessarily about his business; this man
had made fortune by lucky chance; that
one had succeeded in politics. He was en-

NINE. LOUISE MICHEL.

The Famous "Citoyenne Socialist
Makes Her Home In England.
Nine. Louise Michel, the famous 'cito-
yenne" socialist, has left her home in the

dence in England, on account of what she
herself pronounces the infamous wiles of

terror for the determined woman 30 long as
she could read and write ana associate with
other 'detenus p0litiQues," but the fear of
incarc Grafton in mad-house, where her
influence would cease, caused her TO leave
the country she loves so well. In expound-
ing her ideas to the French Socialists who
have promptly surrounded her in England
she says that the French Government is the
worst in all Europe. To quote her forcible
language: Although no politicians can be
honest, our statesmen are far worse off than
those of any other country, and the smash
up will come
There never was such government as
we have at present, such corruption in high
places, and, worst OF all, such pTetence of
freedom. 1t is shameful that the simula-
crum OF republic should exist presided
over by those who are far more tyrannical
than are monarchsts of other countries. In
fact things are what they were under the
third empire, only more so.
Every man who is born into the world
has a right TO his food and clothing, and
ought not to be obliged to beg When a man
feels hungry it is better for him to go and
take what he wants than to hold out his
hand as suppliant TO his richer brother,
who has acquired his wealth through the
sweat of the others brow"
The Bellamy paradise into which the
Cheyenne" would convert the country she
loves. and which should be brought into ex-
istenee through universal strike or revo-
luton, would have general shops where
workers could procure all they required
without money. Capital should be abOl-
ished, each citizen should work for himself,
and the earth with all its products would be
the general storehouse of humanity. A few
hours work would be sufficient to produce
all that is required to meet material wants.
and the rest OF the time could be devoted to
science and art. AS for the lazy people who
refuse to labor, even they would not be COM
PEELED to do so, but would be left to lose their
sef-respect and be despised. The commu-
nifty would provide for them even as nom
workers are provided for now, and accord

Talking of patent medicines
YOU know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
everything and SO, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments Of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
stuff" you lose faith in every
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
