Frenchwomen of Business.

The Erenchwoman, unlike her English
sister, has, as rule, a very good bust
ness education. In the common schools
she is taught household bookkeeping and
is given lessons in purchasing and use
full expenditure. AS wife she is expected
generally to help her husband in his bust
ness, and sometimes she manages it en-
tirely for him. In the small store she
acts as clerk for him, and in the larger
ones she is an equal partner.
The Bon Marche was made famous by
Mime. Boucicault, who helped her hus-
band to found and maintain the estab-
lishment, and after his death she took
entire charge of it. Her system was one
of so much kindness and consideration
toward her employees tlrat they called
her "The Lady of the Bon Marche" and
looked upon her as almost a saint.
There are many other large establish
lishments in Paris managed by women.
Mime. Coque1in, it is said, invests. all her
husbands money for him, and many of
the wives of artists manage the.selling
and exhibition of their husbands works.

debts, obtain orders and call upon news

to make their husbands artistic efforts

sacramonto,s water supply system.

Peculiar specifications for supplying
water to Sacramento are under discus
sion in that city. The water is to be
taken from wells at least half a mile
from the present city limits. and at least
the same distance from any natural sur
face stream or pond. The contractor is
required to guarantee 'clear, sweet and
wholesome water suitable for drinking
water and domestic purposes"
A minimum Of 1000, 900, 900 gallons a
year is to be supplied in such daily guam
titles, not exceeding 10000 gallons, as
may be required. At the end Of five
years this minimum may be increased
by the city on giving six months notice.
The water is to be delivered through a
riveted steel or iron pipe, laid and owned
by the contractor, and delivered through
a meter. The contractor must not fur
nish water direct to the customers, and
is to have no control whatever over the
mains, laterals, distributing pipes or
water rates, which are to be entirely in
the hands Of the city authorities.-En-

cANDoR AND COURTESY.

They Are Not Antagonistic, hut veracity
should BE circumspect and Kind.
Hawthorne used to say, "God may for
give sins, but awkwardness has no for
giveness in heaven or in earth" If for
awkwardness we substitute undue can
dor, we might still be speaking temper
ately. You do not invite to the christen-
ing the caller who looked kindly but
firmly at your pretty baby and said she
thought this child would be rather good
looking, as he resembled his fathers fam
lily. 1t may be safely said that the per-
son who assures us that we have fallen
off five years in one will never be dear
in memory. She has spoken the truth,
but from henceforth we shun her as if
she were modern Sapphira. If we
feel self elected to tell our friends the
unpleasant things which have been said,
no matter how trrlthfully, about them
selves or those dear to them, we must
expect to share in the odium of the mes
sage delivered.
BY the laws Of some occult science not
yet formulated we become in meas
ure what we are told we are. To the
woman who has said we look dead and
faded every tinge of yellow in our skin
responds, and we believe that much
time passed in her society would convert
us into mummy. When with those in
whose love and appreciation we have
confidence, we bring forth the answering
fruits of worth and loveliness, while the
consciousness that our associates con-
slider us stupid and unamiable has a tend
ency to paralyze every brilliant attri-
butte and upselish action. kindness.
kindly expressed" like the witch hazel
wand, makes the desert blossom like a
rose, while the follower of undue eandor
loses half the sweetness and fruitage Of
life.
Are we to infer, then, that candor and
courtesy are'antagonistic? By no means.
But we believe that veracity should be
governed by the rules of the old nursery
game of chow, when and where" The
manner of speaking the truth divinely
taught held this injunction, SIN love-"
The candor that publicly criticises or
that points cut defects at the time and
place where these defects cannot be
renedied is objectionable. The sum of
the whole matter is this-while the love
of truth should be the cardinal point of
our religion, our creed should be broad
enough to embrace the gracious prece-
dent of the heroine of wisdom in whose
lips was the law of hndness.-Harper'

Found and Lost a Treasure.

One of the rarest books extant is the
first edition Of "Don Quixote," published
in Madrid in 1905. Recently collector
in the City Of Mexico while examining a
pile of old books for sale in one of the
remoter wards of the city came across
an ancient edition of "Quixote," but
mistaking the date concluded it was not
first edition. Next day he discovered
by reference to his library that the book
was genuine first edition.
He went back to find the treasure, but
it had been sold for waste paper in the
interim, and although search has been
made in every small shop in the city the
precious volume cannot be found. A
few years ago California book collector
bought in an old boolzstall there first

CNc1NNArr, Oct. 20.-The Times-star'
Charles p. Taft. proprietor, prints an
editorial on Associated press mafters. IN
which he refers TO q recent pubiicstlon
in the New York Sun, purporting TO De
an account of transaction in 1882 py
which the Chicago News obtained tne
morning franchise in the Associated
Press. The editorial says in part;
The purpose OF the article is TO cnss
some reflection upon Mr.. Lawson and
Mr.. Stone. who are Just now prominent
in the management of the Associated
Press. Mr.. Dana of the Sun Is president
of the United Press, and Mr.. Latan 6i
the Sun is vice-president OF the United
Press. The Associated Press recently
determined to enlarge its operations and
become q national organisation. 1t
is extending it's field OF opera
tions into New York and New
England in direct opposition TO the
United Press, and the New York sun
thinks it can retard its progress by pub
fishing an alleged account OF what oc-
Cured IL years sgo. This publication
of this story In the Sun was simply Tor
the purpose Of belittling the guarantee
fund of sS19, 600 subscribed by the Asso-
ciated Press papers. 1t says; Every
member was assured that not one dollar
would ever be called for" On the con-
trary, no assurance OF that kind was
ever made. Indeed, the newspapers
that signed the guarantee fund expect
to pay and are ready to pay the entire
amount subscribed. If the speculating
triumvirate in control of the United
Press are building their hopes upon the
fiimsy assertion that the Associated
Press papers do not expect to pay up
the $Sl9,0O0 if called upon, they are
badly mistaken. They do not under.
stand the temper OF the Associated
Press. Whatever may be said OF tne
newspapers OF New York and New
England, it is very certain that the
western papers belonging to the Asso-
ciated Press never will consent to re-
ceive their news filtered exclusively
through the New York Sun and con-
trolled exclusively by speculating
banker and two speculsting newspaper
men. II the great dailies OF New YORK
wish to play second fiddle to the New
York Sun they have that privilege.
The press of the western country, how
ever, well understand their position.
The New York Sun has cinch. How
long will this continue and how long
will the New York papers play
subordinate role?

CHICAGO, Oct. 20.-The weather was
threatening all day but cleared toward
evening and promises to be fine tomor-

fair. Clouds and few rain drops had
little effect on the attendance today, as
total of 1885, 1893 passed through the
gates, 246,SS4 of them paying. Great
preparations are making for Manhattan
day tomorrow. A most elaborate pro.
gramme has been arranged. The Old
Guard, 100 strong, arrived this evening
from New York city to act as guard Of
honor tomorrow to Mayor Glroy and
other dignitaries. Great crowds OF peo-
pie are pouring in from the east over all
the roads.
The national commission had stormy
session this afternoon. Major Pangborn,
representing the associated American
exhibitors, appeared to report that his
organization approved the plan OF max
ing awards to artisans as well as exhib-
itors. He spoke for some time and was
frequently interrupted by Commissioner
Burton of Kansas who said he did not
understand what Pangborn was explain
ing. President Palmer said somewhat
sharply either Mr.. Burton was not pay
ing attention or there was too much con-
fusion in the room. Burton thereupon
angrily said the chair stated falsehood.
and an angry discussion ensned, which
finally ended with Palmer being en-
dorsed By vote and Burton apologizing.
The Caaifornia Veteran Firemen, who
have been in the city the last week visit
ing the fair. were given hearty send
off by the Chicago fire department when
they left the Union depot this evening.
Marshal Swenie had 40 OF the finest
men in the department escort them
