French Courtesy.

Not being Of that noble company
who come abroad to lie about their ma
tive country, have had no reason for
refusing to see things which are better
done in France than in America And
one thing the French do better than we
is s.,rr behave themselves better in
public, writes Ida M. Tarbell in the.
Boston Globe
She finds there is among the poorest
laboring people Of France a kindness
and courtesy that gid their rough path
with sunshine and make a foreigner
marvel. The French love children; they
like to see everybody about them sunny
and happy; therefore they take every
means to make everybody happy IN
the very shops the children who come
on errands are treated with a tender po-
likeness. France must be the paradise Of
little children.
The writer finds the French really
more interested in others welfare than
the people of our nation are. Once she
dropped coin between the Stats upon
the floor Of a Paris omnibus. She could
not pick it up with her gloved hand east
~. Seeing this, a French working wom-
an sprang to the rescue instantly and
fshed the money up with her ungloved
hand. The common people make way
for one another, bow to one another and
treat one another constantly with all the
courtesy we are accustomed in this coun-
try to see only among the best bred peo-
pie in a parlor. One thing-handshak-
ing is overdone in France. It is car
ried to the extent of being a nuisance.
But if we could engraft upon our COM
mon, everyday manners this courtesy and
kindness without the handshaking.
what a delightful country ours would be!
The pretty phrases Of poiteness, defer
ence and good will which most people
save for social gatherings are on the lips
Of the French people, even of the poor
est class, constantly. They have no
warmer hearts than Americans, but say
what you will, the expression of our
friendliness and good wishes is what all
people want It makes life better worth
living. IT,. T.

MINNEAPOLIS has started out to
have a carnival of legitimate sport
sometime during the summer. St.
Paul, fearful that the enterprising
spirit of the leading city of the
Northwest would add fresh laurels
to her long list of former achieve
ments, has made a move to obtain
the Mitchell-Corbett slugging
match. Which of the two cities
will suffer by, comparing present
methods to gain popularity during
the Worlds Fair year?

A FEW more sentences as sew,

A FEW more sentences as severe
as lately imposed in United States
court by Judge Nelson will set
men to considering what a crime
is committed in giving or selling
liquor to Indians. William Sloan
and Charles Smith were on a
drunk in Minneapolis and gave
the noble braves some liquor from
a bottle. They were arrested and
sentenced to - months, hard labor
in the pen at Saltwater.

title. OF what is now one of the best
states in the Union "a isconsin. The
French xplorers named the territory
from the river which rises in the nor
thern portion Of the State, runs due
south for $50 miles and then turns vest
ward to the Mississip pi. The word
means wild rushing river It is a
rather singular fact that thee separate
parties of early explorers, in their
routes, marked out nearly the bound
ries of the present State. One started
from the mission of La Pointe, on the
South shore OF. Lake Superior, went to
the head Of the lake, where Duluth
now is, then came to the site of st.
Paul. A second party came from
Green Bay, along the Fox and Wiscon-
sin rivers, to the Mississippi. A THIRD
went up the Mississippi from about Du-
buque. The Indian tribes early fell
under French control, and a number of
. fE ~ & q
Wisconsin savages fought on the French
side on the day Of Braddock's defeat,
when George Washington saw his first
battle. Prairie du Chen was for a
time held by the British in the war Of
1872, and Victory takes its name from
the battle which closed the Black
Hawk war of 1882. Indian mounds,
containing many strange and curious
remains, are numerous in the western
part OF the State, easily accessible to
the tourist by the Burlington Route,
which whirls the traveller through
lovely scenery, and past the location of
many a romantic legend. For tickets

the following story Of the disastrous
confagration of Thursday night that
completely wiped out Baily & Co.'s
store and charred and singed other
buildings in the vicinity. The fire
started in Baily & Co.'S store, though
the origin is not known. About mid
night, the alarm was given, and the.
bucket brigade by dint of hard work
succeeded in saving the new Jail though
in a badly scorched condition. There
was no wind or the main buildings of
the south part of town must have been
destroyed. Baily & Co. had just re-
ceived large invoice Of spring goods,
consisting of clothing, a heavy stock Of
good driving shoes, and many other
new goods for the spring traffic. The
loss on stock was over So 900, with an
insurance Of only $4,000 in the Phoenix
Co., and a building worth $500 or 5000
insured in the Home Co. for $3.50. Mr..
Baily takes the loss philosophically re-
marking that such things can not al
ways be. avoided, but that he could and
would, before many moons, be in a bet
ter building and doing business on the
same grounds with a new and well Sc
lected stock.

Educational Faddists.

There is war in Chicago. It is between
the faddists and antifaddists in the pub
lie schools. There were members of the
board of education who wanted to make
elegant kid glove aesthetics out Of every
son and daughter of Chicago. Music,
German, modelling in clay, painting and
high art physical culture were to be SUI
perimposed upon the solid foundation
formed by pork and beer. The faddists
progressed swimmingly until the child
of every man who worked in pork
packing establishment in Chicago threat
ened to become a greenery- gallery poet
or an Oscar Wilde.
Then suddenly. as it were, Chicago
rose and squealed. There was an indig-
nation meeting of those who had no fads
in their rude souls. They would not
stand the high art business because in
learning fads the young ones learned
neither arithmetic, writing nor spelling.
Elegant ladies, bless their souls! Kissed
savagely the common orators who placed
the coarse fact before the public, but it
did not fail. The kick Of the antifaddists
threatens culture in Chicago.
Some of the coarse facts in the case
laid before the public by one speaker
are reported as follows in the Chicago
Tribune:
A woman from the stockyards said: My boy
can get all the mud he wants in my back yard
What he wants is to know how to figure so he
can get job in Posein's grocery" What good
does it do a lad if he can draw a house or con,
struct mud castle if he can't tell what Minis

When the vessels already authorized
by congress have been completed, our
total reconstructed navy will consist of
10 vessels. Twenty-Five Of them are
either finished and in commission or ap-
preaching completion. They include the
following designated classes namely:
Armored cruisers, protected cruisers,
monitors, battleships and gunboats, with
one vessel, the Vesuvius, which is Of
type peculiar to itself. It combines the
functions Of a harbor defense ram and
torpedo cruiser. When all the AZ vessels
are completed, the United States will
rank as the fifth naval power Of the
world. The countries that will outrank
us are, in the order named, England,
France, Italy, Russia. Germany will be
below us, Ex-Secretary Tracy says. The
building of our new navy was COM
menced in 1888. Previous to that we
had sunk so low that even in 1886 we
were only the nineteenth naval power
among nations.
The sensation of a statesman suddenly
out Of job must at first be rather a
queer one From having invitations to
dinner, cards sent to him, railroad passes
thrust upon him and Difference shown
him by all Office boys, clerks and colored
porters, he finds himself leveled in a
night to the plane Of a common citizen,
with none to look up to him. IF he is
intrinsically a great man, he picks up
and goes on again and regains his place
whether he is in office or out Of it. But
if he is little man it is only the Office
which makes him great, and he is nobody
ever again.

Mrs. LOgan's Cigar.

Mrs. John A. Logan is a wo-
man who possesses the somewhat
rare feminine ability to compre-
bend and intelligently converse
upon politics. She and Gen.
Grant had many heated battle.
The story is told that in the midst
of a discussion which had been
particularly long and interesting
the general lost sight of the fact
that he was talking to woman.
He was vigorously refuting one of
her statements when he reached
into an inside pocket, pulled out
and opened a CT gar case and offered
Mrs. Logan a cigar. She took it,
and apparently not noticing the
mcongruity of the situation,
quietly concealed it. The general
lit his and launched on in oblivion.
Among the most treasured of Mrs.
Logan's possessions is that cigar.
= Washington NeaOs.
There are many ladies who
would feel offended, should an at
tempt be made to praise them by
saying they are well-versed in the
political history of the day. Just
why this should be, is not clear.
1t is only question Of time, when
a knowledge Of such things will be
a necessity-in fact it is now re-
quirement for proper education.
A knowledge of politics does not
imply heated controversies, nor
anything below the level Of the
most refined tastes.

Horses with White Feet.
From the Hartford Courant.

In France, and believe in all Europ-
can countries, it is q most ominous sign for
a rider-and especially a sOldier-to want
horse with four white feet. The fam
Gus Gen. Lasalle, who was very super
stitious upon this point, never knowingly
mounted such a horse. The day Of his
DEATH after several OrninOus events,
which happened to him that day, such as
a broken mirror, broken pipe, the pic
ture of his wife broken at the moment he
went to look at it for the last time, he
mounted a horse not his own, and with
out glancing at the feet. The horse had
the unlucky signs. Mounted upon this
horse, he was struck by shot fired, at a
moment when fighting had ceased, by a
Croat among the prisoners just taken at
the battle of Wagram.
On the other hand, these four white
feet are a mark and token Of considera-
ton with Orientals, who do not fail to
mention the fact in the pedigrees Of their
horses noticed proof in the certified
list made by elders of thecountries which
accompanies the present which Abd'el
Kader has just duly 1854 made to the
emperor of a certain number Of valuable
horses. Thousands of such proofs might
be cited.

The Eskimo Bulletin.

The Eskimo Bulletin is the most unique
newspaper in the world, and is the only
journal published within the Arctic circle.
1t is printed at Cape Prince of Wales,
Alaska, in latitude "a 40. and is issued
only once year. Cape Prince Of Wales
is a low sand spit running out just where
the Bering strait joins the Artic ocean.
1t is destitute of timber, and is about as
barren and desolate a spot as could we'll
be imagined. On it, however, is situated
an Eskimo village and a missionary school.
The Bulletin is a small sheet, l2x6 inch
es, printed on one side only, of stiff, white
paper II is printed by the photograph

little paper contains a variety Of news
arranged under different heads. In
mirthful limitation of the daily papers Of
other localities it triumphantly carries at
the head OF its columns the legend "Larg-

additional boast of "Only yearly paper in
