BRINGING THEM TO BOOK.


How Sin Ohio CHRIS Got fiaif a Dozen
Young Mca 20 Propose.
Six young ladies' In Ohio, having re-
ccivcd attentions from six young men,
exchanged condolences and came 10
mutual understanding, says the Bran
don banner.
Although matters seemed 10 be pro
crossing according TO their wishes,
there is still d certain impotence Of
victory among Ewes daughters, and
they resolved upon on audacious move
which should prove tc the objects Of
their affections that they were, one and
all, really good housclsecpers,
They fixed upon day, secured the
house of mutual friend and sent out
six invitations TO luncheon that was
20 be prepared and served by their own
fair hands. Upon the appointed day
the six young men, punctual to such
an nppetizing engagement, were well
coined by six pretty cooks dressed like
the soubrcttes in comedy, with bare
arms, dainty little cnps, short skirts
and embroidered white aprons. After
having conducted their guests upon II
tour Of inspection, letting them peep
into the ovens and oversee the cooking
OF the beefstealSs, that they might be
sure there was no trickery, they all sat
down to table decl1ed with flowers
and enjoyed delicious meal perfectly
served.
A few weeks later Ohio was the richer
by six more young households,

DIR. Zapf, the secretary of the lower
Austrian chamber of commerce, says
that the interest in the forthcoming
Chicago exhibition is being doomed"
in grand style in the manufacturing
circles in Vienna. Fully six hundred
large firms will send exhibits, composed
chiefly of tiles, glass, tapestries, wood
carvings and mother of pearl. The
original space allotted in the worlds
fair to Austria has already been found
absurdly small, but under the pressing
persuasion of Mr. Goldschmidt, the
American consul general at Vienna,
further space has been granted, state
mcnt to that effect being cabled there
from Chicago. In additions to the large
exhibition committee of Vienna mer-
chants, ladies' committee has also
been formed there for the purpose Of
forwarding exhibits of woman's indus
try. Grand Duchess Maria Theresa is
the president of this committee. Many
Austrians will visit America during the
time of its worlds exhibition.

THE RIVER OF PARIS.
Sentimental Idling and Lounging on tho
Banks of the Seine.

Sentimental Idling and Lounging on tho
Banks of the Seine.
The origin of the wealth and glory
of Paris is the Seine. The first trade
of the primitive inhabitants of Lu-
tetia was that of watermen. Their
future and their whole fortune lay
in the river and its navigation.
With the progress of the city the navi-
CATION has increased, until, at the pres
ent day, Paris is the fourth in impor.
tance of all the ports of France, com
ing Immediately after Bordeaux, the
first being Marseilles, and the second
IIavre.
The arms of Paris, souvenir OF Isis
and of the ancient industry of the Lu-
tetians, thus remain as significant as
ever, and there is even prospect that
they may acquire greater fulness of
meaning in the future, for the dream
of Paris is to become seaport, by
means of the canalization of the Seine
and the construction of lateral ship
canals between the capital and Rouen,
above which point large ocean vessels
at present can not penetrate
The average visitor to Paris rarely
realizes the Importance of the Seine as
a commercial route, and unless he has
the blessed gift of lounging and the
will to loaf and comprehend things by
intuition and sympathy rather than by
the study of his guide-book, he runs the
risk of not seeing some of the most
picturesque and useful bits of the town.
The professional tourist and his mentor
pay but small attention to the Seine.
They remark the numerous bridges and
the steamboats,, mouchcs and hiron-
delles, lilies" and Swallows" as they
are POLITICALLY called, that ply between
Clarendon and Auteuil, or run from the
Louvre as far as Saint Cloud and
Suresnes; but apart from this passen-
ger service they know very little about
the river. The sentimental idler, on
the other hand, knows that the
river is rich in variety and in
cident, and that delicious hours
may be spent by the dreamer who has
the leisure to loiter on the bridges and
along the quays, and to feast his eyes
on simple phases and combinations of
life, nature and art. From the almost
superhuman patience of the fishermen
who line the quays and make them
bristle with long bamboo poles, the
loiterer may take example of hopeful
ness and perseverance, From the fam
,lty thnt ctt al 1,n Oh Ice
in contemplation of the water, and
from the children who play on the sand
heaps while their mothers sew and gos-
sip, just as they might do at the sea-
side, the thoughtful spectator may con-
clude that the source of happiness is
within each one of u.s. in the prism OF
illusion that gives to reality the as
pect that our fancy pleases.-Theodore
Child, in Harpers Magazine.

EARLY AMERICAN. CATTLE.
Gencsls Of the Trade In Bovines In the
New World.

New World.
The first cattle that were brought in
TO the American colonies were landed
at the James River plantation, in Nir-
GINA, In the year 1907, They came
froin the West indies and We're the de-
scendahts OF the cattle taken to those
islands by Columbus on his second voy-
age, in the year I40a. In 1901 several
cows were landed and again in l0ll
about one hundred head more were
brought to the plantation. This, there
fore, was the genesis of the cattle bust
ness in America, In order to encour-
age the industry to the fullest possible
extent an order was passed forbdding
the slaughter of any animal OF the bo-
vine kind under penalty of death. IN
der this restriction the number OF cat
tie increased to thirty thousand
in Virginia alone before the end
of the year 1910, The first cattle
brought into the New England colo
mics arrived Mt Plymouth in 1924, and
were imported from England by Gov.
Winslow. Three heifers and a bull
made up the cargo; 'in color" the
old record says, they were black,
black and white, and brindle." In 1926
twelve cows were sent to Cape Ann,
and in 1929, thirty more. In 1910 about
one hundred were imported Scr the
exclusive use of the colony of Mrssa-
chusetts Bay" During the same year
one hundred and three were sent from
Holla nd to New York; so that by the
year 1880 there were good many head
of "horned cattle in the different colo

these animals as superb specimens OF
the bovine race, but they were not,
History, that is, the curious and inter
esting part of history, tells us that the
average weight of fat cattle in the
Liverpool market as late as ITO was
only three hundred and seventy
pounds. What an evolution in one
hundred and eighty-two years!-Phila

the little folks of to-day is of flesh
