Eject o. Paris Life on American students.

Eject O: Paris Life ON American Students.
An American artist of considerable
reputation, while speaking the other day
with reference to the easy going Bohe-
mian habits so common among men in his
profession, said: 1T is not pleasant
thing to say. but believe it is true that
period of two or three years of student
life in Paris practically ruins about as
many young artists as it benefits. Stu
dent life in Europe, and especially in
Paris, is full of allurements and tempta-
tions which only those capable of great
self control are able to resist. It's in its
social aspects delightfully."- free and easy
sort of life, which appeals almost ire
sistibly to the average young man. 1t
develops the habit of Incidence with
frightful rapidity. and from Incidence it
is but short step to indifference, dissi-
patton and reckless self neglect. Con-
viyial associations and the gay company
of colony made of kindred spirits as
bright and magnetic as himself too often
put his ambitions to sleep, and he drifts
on and on until he becomes aspendthrift
and lounger, if nothing worse. At the
end of two or three years he returns to
America, his money spent, his health
frequently shattered and himself SO thor
oughly bohemianized that he finds it DIFF
ficult If not impossible ever to regain
anything of the orderly methodical habit
of industry upon which his professional
success depends. New York Herald.

If Mr.. Henry Labouchere has habit
of getting into trouble, he has also hap
py knack Of getting out of it. For in
stance, the other day. after he had print
ed an important piece Of news about the
proper way to cook crawfish and hu-
name reader of Truth expostulated with
him about his advice to the cook to cut
the live fish in halves, he retorted mer-
rily by expressing the opinion that it is
ridiculous sentiment to treat creatures
of low or rudimentary organizations as
If they had the same susceptibility to
pain as a human being, and settled the
question finally by telling an anecdote
about an angling friend Of his who once
Caught perch foul"
The hook pierced the fish's eye. My friend
felt that he had not caught the perch accord
ing to the rules Of the game, SO, 10 compensate
him for losing his eye. he put him back into the
water He then baited his hook with the eye
and went to work again. Within three min
utes he caught that same perch again with his
own eye.
This is capital fish story. We have
not heard q better tale in long while.
1t is u lie of course, but all fish stories
are, and it has the merits of originality
and humor. We like Mr.. Labouchere
the better for such harmless fibs.-New
York Times

Like tho Bel. OF tho summer Girl.

The ancient girdle was used for other
material or actual purposes besides that
of receptacle for money AT it were
hung tho thousand and one odds and
ends needed and utilized in every day
affairs. The scrivener had his inkhoru
and pen attached to it, the scholar his
book or books, the monk his cruciix and
rosary, the innkeeper his tallies, and ev-
erybody his knife. So many and so va
rious were the articles attached to it
that the fippant began to poke fun. In
an old play there is mention of mer-
chant who had hanging at his girdle a
pouch, spectacle case, a 'punniard," a
pen and inkhorn and "a Handkerchief,
with many other trinkets besides, which
q merry companion seeing said 1t was
like a ahaberdasher's shop of small wares" :"
In another early play lady says to her
maid: Give me my girdle and see that

Solitude and Intellectual Work

''Sheep and geese become restless
when separated from the flock; the eagle
and lion seek isolation" writes George
Ebers in remarkable paper in The Fo-
rum describing the formative influences
of his childhood. The most blessed in
fiuence of all he now recognizes as Sc
we're illness which confined him for a
long time to his ROOM In that enforced
loneliness and solitude so terrible to him
then the genius was developed which
afterward placed him among the great
literary lights of Germany.
Ebers lays emphatic stress on the me-
cessity of solitude for those who would
do great work. He says again. Our
most valuable acquisition in the time Of
our development through nature, art
and circumstance is the fruit of hours
spent in quietude, desirable for our
growing youth and absolutely essential
for our future philosopher. poet and
artist"
The beauty of the following passage
is striking:
was much gratified to hear my friend Pro-
fessor Adolph Won B@yer, the celebrated sue
cessor Of Liebig at the University of Munich
say in an address before the students, and
later in personal conversation, that he regretted
there was SO little opportunity possible in tho
present state of society for seasons of quiet
and seclusion. In tracing the career of others
who have done more than for human prog
ress the tendency to formulate the best In SOL
itude becomes apparent Of each one Goethe
found the quiet of early morning most favor
able for composition. The teeming brains OF
the great physicist, Helmholtz and the math-
cmatican CAUSE marked as most productive
the silent hours or walks abroad In sunny
weather. The universe opened to Kant on SOL
itary wanderings, and the famous electrician,
Werner Siemens, after being incarcerated In a
fortress as punishment for duel declared
that 1t was with regret he regained his free
dom from an imprisonment in which work and
thought had reaped incredible benefit from
solitude. From quiet and solitude spring the
greatest thoughts, inventions and compost
tions of art; hence their potentiality in char
acter formation.

The employees of the Evansville and
Terre Haute railroad have originated
what may be called an Indiana idea
The company gave notice of 10 per
cent reduction in their wages. The en-
ployees declined to accept it. Instead they
proposed to lend the company 10 per
cent of their ordinary wages till times
got good. Then they would take the
back pay. This is not bad plan if en-
ployers could only see the question in
that light.

Farmhouse Conveniences.

A newspaper correspondent has found
an ordinary rural home supplied with
the convenience of plenty of hot water
for kitchen and bathroom There is a
cold water tank in the attic. This is
filed from the rains upon the roof. or a
force pump might be used to lift the wa
ter. A windmill does the same office
on some farms. A box lined with
zinc and holding some 25 gallons is
mounted near the kitchen stove, higher
than the stove. From the tank in the
attic cold water is let into the kitchen
tank or box by faucet A hole is cut
into the stovepipe, and through it passes
down a pipe which is coiled around on
top of the oven of the stove just where
the fire will strike it. This pipe comes
from the bottom of the tank Midway
of the tank the return pipe enters, max
ing complete circulation Of water with
in the coil. The tank must not be closed
tight at the top, otherwise steam explo-
sions might occur. Common galvanized
pipe is used. If the kitchen range or
stove has the arrangement called a
water front, then the only thing to do
will be to open the holes already drilled
and connect the pipe from the tank.
Thus, with q little pipe, some elbow
joints, solder and faucets, zinc lined
box and the use Of brains, any farm
cottage may be as luxuriously supplied
with hot water as if it were million
aires mansion. In the twentieth century
most farmhouses will be supplied with
city conveniences. The reason they are
not SO now is not lack of money 80 much
as lack of thinking and energy.

This is the age Of woman's progress.
vet an Alaska woman has beaten the
record of any civilized woman in
America, with all our higher education
and lady doctors and lawyers. This ma
tive Alaska woman is fur trader and
has made fortune the way the founder
of the Astor family made his-by ped
ding furs and exchanging them for
goods. She goes into the interior with a
pack of goods upon her back and sells
these to the heather there for furs and
returns to the seaport town laden with
pelts, which she again sells at a good
profit. Alaska is American. this shrewd
lady is an American citizen, and there is
no reason why her grandchildren should
not set the pace for the New York aris-
tocracy and hobnob with the British no
bility. She is as good Christian as any,
body, too. this Alaska lady, she having
given up two of her three husbands when
she embraced the white mans religion.
But the point which fixes her superiority
to the white woman is the fact that she
succeeded in amassing fortune in spite
OF having three husbands.

McCLAUGHRf STAYS FOR AWHILE.

Mayor Harrison did not ask the
Council Monday night to confirm the
nomination of r. w. McClaughry as
Chief of Police, as was thought he
would. Nor will he ask the Council
to concur in any such nomination.
He said Wednesday that would be
unnecessary, that he has Major Nc
Claughry's resignation, and that ahen
the time comes for its acceptance he
will accept it. THAT will net lie for
Several months, at any rate, be said,
~and l hope nothing will arise to
cause me to accept it,"
Such men as ?. b. Armour and
John sherman have been to him. the
Mayor said, and requested that the
Major be retained. On the other
hand, the Democratic party has held
all along that as the department is
to be recognized a Democrat should
be at the head Of it, To conciliate
all these parties the Mayor has de-
cided to relieve Chief McClaughry of
all work of reorganization and to
take the Assistant Superintendent,
Michael Brennan, into his counselS
for that purpose. This arrangement
gives Major McClaughry nothing
whatever to do with appointments
or promotions. While Mr.. Brennan
has been chosen as counselor in this
matter. because of his intimate ac-
QuaintGnce with all the men on the
force, the Mayor has cautioned him
that in the selection of men for the
various positions he must as far as
possible lay aside all friendships and
consider merit only.

BEATING THE WATER TAX.

With a view to increasing the rev.
enue of the Water Office Supt. Cros-
settle has had all the inspectors Of
the department pay especial atten-
ton to whether the assessments are
correctly made. The result is that
he has already had reports OF a num-
Der of places which are paying only
frontage rates when they should lie
paying an additional rate.
A prominent business house in the
city, for instance, pays only frontage
rates on large barn in which are
kept over twenty head of horses, An
enormous amount Of water is used
there for these animals and for wash
ing wagons, yet the city gets no
more money than if the barn had
no water faucets on the in
terror. The inspectors have also
found numerous saloons where no
rates for the water used inside for
washing glasses, in closets, and for
running hydraulic beer pumps are
collected, the saloons being on the
books of the Office at frontage rates
only. Changes are being made in all
these cases 50 that the city will be
able to collect what is really due
to it.
With the same end in view the
Superintendent has inaugurated the
old custom of requiring that an!
taxes due under the old system mus
be paid before meter is put into
building. All these things are ex
pected to increase the revenue of tn
office, not to a great amount, it !
true, but it is thought to the amour
of a number of thousand dollars.

WHERE DOES 1T COME M?

Some of the people who are fight
ing the bill giving Cook County ten
additional judges are declaring that
the increase will cost the taxpayers
of Cook County over $3.50, 900 year.
What rot!
In the first place, the county only
pays one-half the salary of a Superior
or Circuit Judge, the State of Illinois
paying the other half.
One-half of $1,000 is SO, 500, and
ten times $1,000 is $50, 900, which is
all that this much needed increase
will cost. 1t is nard to see where
the $3.50, 900 comes in.

discussion of Mr.. McAllister's obser-

debate on the following topics:
a. Shall a New York nobody be
permitted TO deprive a free citizen
of his unalienable right to eat his
fish with knife?
90. Is a man who has made a

to be considered a nobody because he

JEALOUS JUDGES.

1t is curious fact that the opposi-
tiOn to an increase in the number of
Cook county judges comes from one
or two members of the bench who
are jealous of some Of the men who
will wear the ermiDe, if the bill
passes.
The bill should certainly pass, as
more judges are imperatively needed,
and the Legislature should help the
people out or this matter, even if a
few superannuated jurists should be
made jealous

THE PASS SCANDAL.

Said Thursdays Tribune:
@The number Of persons who paid
for admission to the Exposition Sun
day was rather below so, 900. The
number Of those who went in on
passes is put at 40, 900. One estimate
is as high as 60, 00Q. That over one
third Of the visitors should go in free
is unusual in the history of exposi
tions. Such an occurrence is not evil
deDce of close business management.
OF this army corps of 10000 persons
some were exhibitors, others were
employees Some were workmen who
are not through with their labOrs,
Many individuals belonging to these
classes may have gone in and out
/ several times and thus have been
counted twice or thrice. Yet, after
making all due allowances, it does
seem as if there was too much genia
liberality in the bestowal of passes
1t is not in reason that there should
be one deadhead for every two per
sons who pay. This is not business.
But the worst Of it is, that some
body is evidently making money on
Of the pass business.
People who are entitled to passe
don't get them.
People who want to pay small
amounts for admission appear t
have no trouble in getting all tn
passes they want
