French Servants and Wealthy ShopkeepeTs.
The one extravaganza of dress OF the
French servant girl lies in having her
best gown made by a dressmaker instead
of making it herself. Hence her corsages
always fit her well, and her plain stuff
costume has degree of style about it
which she is fully capable of appreciat-
ing. The ladies of the SO called bour-
geois set-the wives and daughters of
rich shopkeepers and manufacturers
very rarely indulge in rich fashionable,
toilets. Nine. Boucicaut, the foundress
of the Bon Marche was worth millions
upon millions. Always arrayed i'll black,
silk or satin of excellent quality, but
made in the plainest possible style, she
looked to the last hour of her life just
what she was-the greatest and richest
shopkeeper in Paris possibly, but still
shopkeeper, and one that never tried to
look like anything different. When the
daughter of one of these wealthy trades
people marries, her trousseau is usually
very superb, but the famous masters of
the art of dress are seldom or never
called upon to exert their inventive tai
ents in her behalf-Lucy Harper IN

How Air Resists a Locomotive.

Experiments made by the scientists
appointed for that purpose by the French
government show that the resistance Of
the atmosphere to the motion of high
speed train often amounts to half the to-
tai resistance which the locomotive must
overcome. Two engines, of which the
resistance was measured repeatedly and
found to be 10 pounds per ton at 81 miles
per hour, were coupled together and
again tried. In the second trial the re-
sistance fell to II pounds per ton, the
second engine being shielded from at

l will, with the greatest pleasure.
To love and cherish, above all else, is
a boys duty to his mother.
There should, a. no time, be single
soul dearer to the heart of a son than
the soul of his dear old mother.
No one should ever be fairer or more
beautiful to his eyes.
A bow chat loves and honors his mother,
will, in nine cases out of ten, make some
woman mighty good husband.
The boy that neglects his mother, be
that neglect ever so small, will, in nine
cases out of ten, neglect his wife and Chi
dren in after years.
No one is entitled to more consider
alton at the hands of boy than his
mother.
The older boys mother grows, the
more attenti on he should show her, and
the more tender love he should manifest.
Nothing makes the life of a good old
mother, tottering with age and suffering
with the lnfirmities Of life, brighter or
lighter than the tender love and affection
of strong son, radiant with the energy
of manhood and the bright hopes of a
long life before him.
Boys, don't forget mother. Don't
trample her heart under your feet,
Make her happy. There's nothing too
good for her. She will not be with you
much longer, maybe. Make her few re-
naming years full of joy.
Don't do anything that will cause good
old mothers heart to ache.
Scatter light and sunshine in her
path.
Make mother happy and then you are
doing your full duty.
