A Young Girrs Inheritance.

Florence Mason, q charming brunette Of
about II years of age, has suddenly and un-
expectedly become an heiress to 100000 or
100000 The young girl is the daughter of
John Mason, respectable business man of
this city. To the death of Bacilio Argires,
a Greek on small island in the Adriatic
sea, Miss Mason is indebted for her wealth.
Many years ago Mr.. Argires came to this
country and became intimate with the Ma
sons, who were then very we'll to do. Flor
ence at that time was not born. Years
later, when overtaken by business reverses
and mourning the death of his wife, Mr..
Mason was again visited by Bacilio Ar
gires' brother and his wife. The husband
died, leaving helpless invalid in his wife,
who formed a strong attachment for Flor
ence.
Upon her death Mrs. Argires bequeathed
the bulk of her estate to the young girl,
who had soothed her dying hours, but sub
sequent investigation showed that the es-
tate, after the payment of some bequests,
was exhausted Miss Mason in consequence
received nothing, but two weeks ago she
was surprised by letter from the Greek
consul informing her that she had been left
an estate in Greece. Bacilic Argires had
died on the island of Corfu and not know
ing that his brother was dead had left all
Of his money to him. By the death of his
brother the estate passed to his wife and in
turn to Florence. San Francisco Chronicle.

"Toy balloon-Jack"-
There balloon began to bob frantically
about at the very end of its perverse cot
ton string and had to be tied to a seat arm.
The speaker had entered the Northwest
ern depot fairly bristling with Christmas
bundles. One by one they were subjected
to little inquisitive poke and muttered
sentence regarding their disposal Three
seats in the center of the room had been
selected. After two of them were filled
with little corded piles of bundles the wom-
an deposited herself in the third, folded
her hands and looked placid. She was an
individual Of large dimensions, and fat,
pleased smile rollicked over her counte-
nance. The red balloon, which had been
securely tied, bumped frivolously about
and playfully tapped the woman's left eye.
She didn't like such undue familiarity and
promptly shortened the string. The red
balloon struggled and bumped maliciously
about, but it couldn't get away Presently
the woman wanted drink. By the time
she came back the red balloon had formu-
lated plans for revenge. The woman turned
slowly around and proceeded to sit down.
The balloon bumped and struggled and sat
down first. There was terrific explosion.
The woman's smile of Christmas joy faded
away, and she jumped several feet into the
air with series of yells that would have
delighted the heart of Comanche Indian.
The balloon was an utter wreck The
crowd which gathered around laughed
heartlessly.- Chicago News-Record.

The American and French Cabinet Systems.
In France the president names his minis
tiers, but they must have the confidence of
the chamber-that is to say, they are not
his ministers, but ministers of fluctuat
ing majority of the deputies. This fact
has made the president as matter of fact
removable during his term of Office, as was
proved when NJ. Grevy, unable to get a
cabinet together which had the confidence
of the chamber or to obtain the consent Of
the senate to its dissolution, was forced to
resign, as if he had been an outvoted prime
minister. In practice the cabinet system,
the system of ministerial responsibility to
an elected chamber, seems to require, in or
der to give it stability, a permanent and
even hereditary head of the state, who can
not be affected by parliamentary fuctua-
tions
The presidential system as exhibited in
the United States appears to owe its sta
bility and working efficiency to the fact
that the president is the master and not
the servant of the cabinet, and that neither
he nor it is dependent upon ajority of the
representative chamber nor at general
election. The attachment of the French
people to the republican form-perhaps we
ought rather to say their want of attach
ment to any other-with their regard for
personal ascendency, for the democratic
autoritaire, suggests that they will find a
stable equilibrium in remodeling their in
stitutions after the American rather than
the English fashion-that is to say, in the
qualified monarchy of the presidential sys
tenn rather than in the unlimited democ
racy of our modern parliamentary regime

makes it more difficult to get low cost
house, but in this case it was an essential
requirement, necessity, and therefore le~
gitimate. From the hall provisions could
be made to go into the bedroom, though in
this case it was not necessary. There is a
connection between the hall and sitting
room and between the hall and parlor, as
shown; hence the plan is practically inde-
pendent. Off from the sitting room is a
closet which should be in every house.
The dining room has the proper connec-
tion with the kitchen by means of china
room, a pantry and two double swing doors.
Back of the kitchen and connected with the
pantry in a proper manner is the porch.
From the kitchen there is passage to the
second floor, and under that stairway is the
passage to the cellar.
On the second floor are the attic stair
way and the front hall, and in front of it
the little bedroom with the closet, and next
to that room larger one and three other
bedrooms Thus there is practically 10
room house, not counting the bath.
The house as here shown is relatively
plain, yet there is nothing about it to fall
into decay, and if properly built the expense

as speedily or as lelsurely as full con-
sideration of the subject will permit,

modities of all kind, of wheat, corn,
iron and coal. There will be glut of
goods at one time and scarcity at
others. Human judgment is fallible,
but you cannot look to the law or the
law-making power to correct its errors,
to protest you from the consequence
that will follow. In conclusion, let me
say that am no anarchist, believe
in liberty regulated by law, even to
the extent should it come in the future
of preventing any such accumulation
as should threaten the Republic or tend
to crush the masses ofthe people ofthe
land under burden too heavy to be
borne, as has often happened in other
lands-In Mexico, in France, even in
England, with its laws of mortemain
and its disestablishment; but no such
day has yet arrived. There are no

event.

with such universal opportunities in

of caring for it during term of forty or
fifty years would be very slight. There is
no useless decoration to fall off. That
which is decorative is essentially part of
the house. 1t is desirable to have the porch,
which is open in front, SO that there will be
q certain amount of light coming into the
parlor. This is done by making an open
gable in the porch, which is interesting in
its form and general plan and utilitarian
in its design. There is no CRATE in the par
lor. A furnace is used for general heating,
and in the matter of fuel and labor and
all that it is an economical device.
1t is very important in any house to 50
arrange it that one need not go outside of
the building in doing the ordinary work of
housekeeping. In house planned like
this, with furnace, say, underneath the sit
ting room, there is abundant space for fuel
arrangements in the otherpart of thestruc-
ture One does not need nor is it desirable
to excavate under all the house in order to
secure the fuel bins 1t is best that they be
made to slant from the outside walls down
to the inside cellar walls and in that way
provide hoppered bins for the different
kinds of fuel.

The male element in France appears to
be just awakening to the fact that the mus
tache is fashionable" Being of inquiring
minds, they are now deeply interested in
the important question as to who intro
duced this fashion. "They come from Eng
land, says one oracle ''All educated (?)
Englishmen wear mustaches." mot at
all, replies another. "The home of the mus
tache is Spain, and here is the story of its
real origin: After the Moors first invaded
the country the Christian and Moslem pop
ulation became so mixed that it was diff
cult to say which were Moors and which
Spaniards, The Spaniards then hit upon a
means by which they could at once distin-
guish their brethren. They did not shave
their upper lips any longer, and they allow
ed tuft of hair to grow below their under
lip, so that their boards formed the rude
outline of a cross. Thus the mustache be-
came symbol Of liberty and fraternity
