Before the French Revolution.

Before the revolution the government es-
tabIished warehouses at which the inhab-
itants were compelled to purchase their
stores of salt. These warehouses were nu-
nlerous in some provinces and few in 9TH
ers but whether sufficient or insufficient
for the needs of the population they were
often situated at a considerable distance
from the towns and villages, whose inhab-
itants had to trudge miles along bad roads
to buy their salt. But this was not all. 1t
was prescribed by law that the head of ev-
cry family must lay in his stock of salt not
at such times as might suit his own con-
venience, but on one stated day in the year
Should he fail in this observance he was
fined, and he was also fined if he purchased
a smaller quantity than the law prescribed.
His hardships did not stop even there.
On making his annual purchase he had
to state the different purposes for which he
intended to use the salt during the ensuing
year, and in the event of his being discov-
cred sailing his soup instead of his pork ac-
cording to his statement, or his pork in
stead of his soup on the day be had named,
DC was also liable to fine. His kitchen
was never secure from the intrusion of TIE
inspecting officer, and woe to the housewife
Wiio was detected in any petty infraction of
this law.-Nineteenth Century

4 Suggestion For "A Nurse.

When you need nurse, look about for
some country cousin, some minister
daughter, some girl brought up clean and
pure and refined Tell her you will take
her as a sister or friend at so much month,
she to share your cares and responsibilities
as far as she can and have a home and so
ciety within certain bounds. Make the
position as you want it. Define its duties,
privileges. bounds and recompense: then
find some one to fill it. And remember
that the more sensibly pleasant you make
it the higher the grade of person who will
fill it. You will say Utopia" but it can
be done.
Mrs. Liver has the ideal country cousin,
working for her living and taking music
and night school work. She and Julia
accomplish the work without a servant.
A washerwoman once a week is all that
is necessary, and Mrs. Liver is so content
with this way that her only worry about
the matter is expressed when she says of
Julia: Yes, she'll marry. They all do."-

wedding Presents In Several Countries.

Sewing wedding presents is an old Gus
tom" said Albert FARMLAND, a Maine Jew
eler, but the custom differs in different
countries. Scotland's penny weddings were
peculiar. They were called penny affairs,
but the invited guests contributed shillings
and occasionally half crown, and out Of
the sums thus collected the expenses of the
wedding feast were paid, Germany has a
pay wedding at which the bride receives
her guests with a basin before her, in which
each person entering deposits jewel, a sill
yer spoon or a piece of money. In some
parts Of Germany the rule is that the eX-
penses OF the marriage feast shall be met
by each guest paying for what he eats and
drinks-a sort of European plan wedding,
you might call it.
1.-The prices paid for dishes and drinks
are high, and the happy young couple make
a handsome profit out of their wedding,
often realizing Il sum sufficient to start
them pretty nicely in life Often 800 guests
are present at such wedding. Sometimes
the flow Of presents is in the other direc-
ton. In Poland, for instance, girl is not
regarded eligible for marriage until she has
wrought with her own hands cloth and
garments for the friends who will accom-
pany her future lord TO the altar. But in
most countries the wedding present system
is similar to that which is familiar here
and which has become serious tax."-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

The sympathy Of the genuine Ameri'
can public must be on the side of the
walters who are fighting for the right to
wear mustaches If they so desire. An
other grievance they complain of viii
appeal still more strongly to the public.
1t is that they are paid low wages by
their employers in the expectation that
they will depend on the fee system to get
respectable living, The public viii
note that it is walters themselves who
desire to stamp out the fee system and
sympathize accordingly.
The c0lored porter on the sleeping cars
expects regularly a tip. The negro slave
always expected a tip, and to this day in
numerous hotels where negro servants
are employed the departing guest must
run the gantlet between two lines Of
menials who expect him to drop more or
less silver into their palms as he passes
1t is a slayish custom and one against
which any self respecting white man may
well rebel with all his soul A person can
never respect as a man and a brother the
individual to whom he filings dime or a
half dollar as he would bone to q dog.
Certainly, then, if walters want to be re-
spected, one of the first steps to this end
will be to abolish Of their own accord the
feeling system.
Ridiculous, pitiable IN its contempt
ibleness is the edict that walters must be
clean shayen. 1t is plain without argu-
ment that every table waiter, if he is
man, should have close clipped hair, and
if she is a woman should either have
short hair or wear a natty little cap. But
the mustache? When those who have
started the crusade against it have been
asked why the order went forth that
walters must be clean shqven. there
seemed to be no answer except that no.
body ever saw in Berlin a waiter with
mustache.
This ia kin to that other notion which
in some quarters requires coachmen 10
be clean shaven, to the actual danger Of
injury to their health by exposure in in
clement weather while they wait on their
boxes sometimes hours at a time Their
employers, whose slaves they are, choose
to wear mustache or beard; therefore
the coachman must not. Down with
this un-Americau foolishness and suob-

Taking a Case Out of Court.

Judges do not interfere with the trial Of
cases, as a rule, though it is sometimes hard
work for them to refrain, especially when
they see a lawyer injuring his client by mis-
managing his case. Sometimes they help
him out in the interests of justice, but or
dinarily they allow the case to go on. re-
call an important case which was begun be-
fore one of our courts awhile ago. 1t was
complicated with techicalities, and proper
decision involved knowledge of business
methods which the ordinary juryman was
not likely to have. The trial proceeded a
little while, when the judge stopped it,
called both counsel to him and said: This
Ease can't be properly tried here. Let me
take it from the jury, and will refer it to
three business men, who shall hear it and
decide it." Both lawyers assented, and it
was disposed of in that way.-Boston Globe.

DR.. Jane E. Robbins is lady who has
practiced medicine for years among city
poor people. She knows better than
most others their needs and how to help
them. The greatest need of all she finds
to be that Of cleanliness and thrift It
is the result Of their ignorance. Many
of the Stun people are unable to speak
or understand English. The only COM
mrmication between them and people
who speak the language Of the country
must be through their children. At an
early age these young ones learn English
after a fashion, likewise their parents
native tongue.
Most of the children attend the public
schools. In view Of the possible vista
ton Of cholera, DR.. Robbins proposes
that these children shall be carefully in

leaving accommodations Of filth and decay

ing themselves into brigades under the
instruction Of competent physicians and
officials connected with street cleaning,
school children from the poorest, dirtiest
quarters of the city might do the work of
keeping clean the streets in their neigh
borhood.
If the necessary methods of sanitation
and cleanliness are explained to them,
there is no doubt but they would enter
upon their new task with all the chifd's
enthusiasm and make wonderful
change in the slum streets and tenements
in a short time. They would explain to
their parents the requirements Of the
health boards everywhere and scrub and
purify their own homes thoroughly.

An Ala 10 Find nne,s Hat.

We have all seen men standing in per-
plexity before the hat stand gazing dis
tractedly into hat, trying it on, and then
replacing it on the hook with murmur of
mo, this is not mine," and repeating the
operation helplessly until the familiar COW
ering was found. Black felt hats do look
very much alike, so to enable the owner to
distinguish his own at glance some clever
person has invented silver hat plate.
This is strip of the precious metal about
two inches long, more or less ornamented,
and with space in the middle where the
name can be engraved. 1t has two sharp
points at either end, one set pivoted in q
very ingenious way, by means of which it
can be fastened to the leather lining of the
hat, aud easily removed when it is neces-
sary to transfer it to new one.-Harper's

IL Won't Do, Girls.

Two-thirds of the stenographers and
typewriters in the country are women.
They are quicker and better manipula-
tors with the type'yriting machine than
men are and more tractable Office assist
ants. They are in every way capable of
earning and getting just as much money
as man. But writer in The Herald
says that the average wages paid to
women in this occupation in New York
is $1t week, while men stenographers
and typewTiters average $i4 a week, and
the latest places are almost without ex-
ception filed by men,
The reason is.that the girls are not am.
bilious 10 excel or to strive for the high.
est places. They think more Of marrying
and escaping work altogether than Of
perfecting themselves in their trade
This is unfortunate if true. The poor
est possible reason a girl can have for
marrying is that she may escape work
Where she does this, in nine cases out Of
ten she viii be disappointed and many a
time wish herself back clicking at the
old machine and earning her own money
and spending it as she pleases.
Then, too, the conditions Of life are
growing constantly harder With the
best intentions not all married men can
support their families as they wish. Ten
dollars are necessary to maintain n re-
spectacle appearance where S. used to
be sufficient. It is far better to remain
single and strive for and win the highest
place and get $1,000 or $500 a year
than to marry for support and be mis-
erably disappointed. Then, too, remem-
Der this: If You have any work to do, it
is sin not to do that work the best it
can be done.

Distribution OF Fnreienors.

Census bulletin So shows the distri-
button Of our foreign population by race
in the largest cities Of the Union. The
three cities having over a million inhab-
itants are respectively New York, Chi
cago and Philadelphia. but the proper
ton Of foreign born in Philadelphia is
much less than in the other two cities
In New York end Chicagothe proportion
is almost the same, being about 40 per
cent Of the whole population, while in
Philadelphia it is only 25.7 per cent. So
that if any one of our three largest cities
can claim TO be an American city it is
Philadelphia. Baltimore, with a popu-
lation Of nearly half a million, has only a
little more tacu 10 per cent Of foreigners.
A late writer says that the southern
states Of this Union and Canada contain
the most purely Anglo-Saxon population
Of any portion Of North America. 1t is
not clear, however, that the two sections
named have attained any superiority in
any respectovCr thercst Of the continent,
so they need not fatter themselves that
the pure Auglo-Saxoa blood is a whit
more good and great than the mixed
TeutOnic, Saxon and Celtic.
Chicago and New York appear to run
in parallel lines SO far as the proportion
Of German population goes. Each has
about IA per cent Of German born in
habitants. But when it comes to Irish
New York is far ahead Of Chicago, hay
ing nearly as large q proportion of Irish
as Germans, while Chicago contains only
little more than Gper cent. Germans
and Scandinavians are inclined to settle
in the interior. Irish, perhaps in remem-
hrauce Of their seagirt isle, scatter most
" along the Atlantic coast. Boston, be-
loved Of the Irish. contains the largest
proportion Of that nationality, the per
cent being nearly 10.

Some Of the residents of Fairhaven
are inclined to the belief chat move
ment Is on foot looking towards eitheI

grouudless The library stands on the

majority east at tie general election,

useful institution. If any steps are to
be taken with ultimate designs upon
the library, it is more probable that tie
intention is to enhance its usefulness
and widen its sphere Of good by in
creasing its number of volumes and
contributing more largely to its present
list Of readable papers and magazines.
The library is one Of the solid and per
manent institutions Of the city, and
needs no better recommendation for it

the fact that from fifty to seyenty-hve

Slight Shrinking In Valne.

While the cotton spinners were on

rate Of S350,0o0 week. There were go
GOO Of the strikers. Many of the men
had funds laid away in the building and
loan associations and in the savings
banks, so that they were not altogether
dependent on their societies for support
during the strike. While the result Of
the long strike is not wholly victory
for the strikers. it is in part. They
struck against a reduction Of per cent
in wages. They agreed to return to work
on a reduction Of Q per cent. Most i'm

LIEUT.. STONES CASE.
He Objects to His Classification i'm
Being Retired.

The case of Lieut.. Stone presents some
unusually interesting features. He has
been in the employ of the Carnegie Steel
Company, and has enjoyed excellent ia
cilites for the dispatch of their business
with the Navy Department. A short time
ago, at his own request, he was ordered
before retiring board. The board found
that he was troubled with a mild COM
plant, but as the lieutenant could not re-
member when he first became affected, of
whether it was incident to the service. the
board reported that he should be placed on
the retired list, with the lowest retired pay,
which, in the lieutenants case, would be
only $500 a year.
The class of officers who draw this pay
are those who are usually retired for alco-
holism and other incapacities which naval
officers term general worthlessness and
ipefficiency." This class is called the dead
beat class also. Lieut.. Stone is an officer
of strict morals, able ordnance expert
and a most honorable man. He has pro-
tested against the boards report, and the
Attorney General has been called upon to
act. Lieut.. Stone has means and could
afford to accept the small pay of the class
to which he was assigned, but he naturally
objects to the assignment because of the
apparent reflection on his character.
