Little Girl-"Was your folks poor when
you were a little girl?"
Grandma-"We thought we were, my dear.
We were pioneer farmers and lived In a
log cabin. but it was large and comfortable.
The floors were warmly carpeted. We had
plenty to eat and plenty to wear. But we
raised everything ourselves and made our
own cloth. We had no money to go to the
stores, even II We had been near any, and
we felt very poor. There were two things
We were all fond Of. and oh, how We longed
for them, and how We wished we could af-
ford them, but we couldn't and it made us
feel very miserable to be so poor These
two things were salt mackerel and store
nolasses."

DECADENCE OF THE PIPE.
An OId-Time Custom In Virginia II
Illustrated by nm Editor of That State

An OId-Time Custom In Virginia H.
If you will consider what large part
smoking and eating play in the best OF
Dickens writings says a writer In the
Richmond Dispatch. and how utterly impos-
sible 1t would have been for Washington
Irving to paint the staid gravity of the early
Dutch settlers on Manhattan Island with
out their pipes, one can see what a pity 1t
is that pipe-smoking is so fast passing away
in the rush and whirl of our modern life.
You cannot smoke a long-stem pipe in a
hurry. 1t requires calm and leisure and a
good conscience II you would. get the full
aroma of the '-new-ground' tobacco. Let
me give you a touching bit of pathos that
heard when boy at Hampden Sidney
College in lecture given by Oliver p. Bald
win. then editor of the Dispatch. 1t was a
description of the death of an old Virginia
farmer. The old man, with flowing white
locks, sat in an armchair under an apple
tree loaded with blushing fruit. The tree
like himself was old. for he had planted
II with his own hands, and together they
had seen many summers come and go. The
mellow sunlight Of an October afternoon
fell in slanting rays about his head and
tinged with deeper red the apples above
him. In one hand he held the long stem OF
his pipe, while above him circled the wreaths
of gray smoke which fingered lovingly for
a moment and then fioated away in Infinite
space. At his feet on the greensward lay
his dog deaf and nearly blind with old age.
Some autumn insect was lazily chirping and
droning in the grass. The lengthening
shadows were falling far toward the east
Some one OF the household passing noticed
that the whiffs of smoke came at longer
and longer intervals from his pipe and at
length ceased altogether. They thought the
old man had fallen asleep And so he had;
but it was the sleep that comes at the end
of life, for his gentle spirit had foated up
ward to the realms of light as quietly and
peacefully as the wreaths of smoke that
circled above his head"

Crime in France.

Crime In France.
NJ Drp,.y. president of the French cham
ber yesterday afternoon addressed the
French house on the occurrence Of Satur-
day. lie complimented the members for
their attitude during the exciting moments
following the explosion OF Vaillants bomb.
and thanked those who attended to the
wounded.
NJ. Casimir-Perter. the prime minister.
also made brief address. He said that the
program of the government would undergo
10 change because of the dastardly crime
that had been committed, and its policy
would be continued. He added that a demo-
cratic government devoted to ameliorating
the condition of the working people would
not allow abominable criminal utterances
and outrages to demolish liberty.
The prime minister laid before the house
bills that the cabinet had decided upon,
modifying the press laws by prOviding for
severe punishment for incitins to crime
providing against the association Of evil
doors, respecting explosives, and demanding
$4,000 francs for police purposes. In all,
four bills directed against anarchists and
anarchism were submitted. The prime min
lister declared that none Of these bills was
intended to attack the rights OF citizens.
He asked that the bill relative to the press
laws be at once discussed by the chamber.
NJ. Casimir-Perier declared that the gov
eminent would make the vote on the Ques-
ton of confidence.
Ex-Minister Goblet opposed the immediate
decision of the question, and proposed that
1t be deferred until tomorrow.
This proposition was applauded by the
socialists.
Remounting the tribune, NJ Casimr-Pe-
rier was greeted with frantic cries by the
socialists. He remained calm and unmoved
and when quiet was restored, he said that 1t
was the duty OF the government towards
the nation to ask a vote for the repression
Of printed indictments to crime.
This declaration was greeted with ringing
cheers.
NJ. Ramel proposed to appoint commits
sion to examine the bill and report at 5
o'clock this evening, when every friend of
the country would vote for its adoption.
again the chamber broke out IN cheers
The bill was passed by Alb to %.
