The Mules Knew the Route.

A remarkable instance of the stub
bornness with which mules retain
ideas once impressed upon them was
seen one day last week. A dairy
man who for years had driven his
team and served his 800 or more
customers in Cincinnati personally,
died suddenly before he could give
his son a list of the customers. The
latter, however, started the wagon
TO town at the usual hour the next
day, with instructions to deliver
milk wherever the team stopped.
The animals trotted along briskly
till they reached Abigail street, where
they pulled up in front of a grocery
A maid with a pitcher soon ran out
and taking the name and order the
driver continued. He simply started
the mules, letting them pick the
route, and when they finally headed
for home he found he had a list OF
over 300 customers. The mules had
not only stopped at all the regular
places. but, as was afterward learned,
had regained several former custom.

what Machinery Is Doing.

One of the astonishing facts In the
field of industry is the marvellous
power of machinery operated by
hand. In the cotton trade, in 1850,
the average product of every EN-
ployee was something less than 500,
while 80 years later he was able
to produce a value of 81, 200, not
withstanding the reduced price of
cotton. In the wooden factory the
change was much the same, the hand
of each worker being able, as long
ago as 1850, to make over 81, 200 of
product, and in 1850 about 81, 500, the
proportion of material consumed by
improved machinery being about the
same.
How much the world is indebted
to invention cannot be stated In tan
gible form, but with the strength of
man remaining the same and the
skill of the present artisan, though
showing some advances, still not dis
tancing that of the ancient Egyptian,
the vast increase of human resources
is due mainly to the influence of in
ventlon in discovering ways in which
machines can do the work of men.
The competition is no longer a com
petition of skill of labor, but that of
invention, and in America we are far
in advance of any other nation i'll
this respect. A man who so years
ago could turn out n value equal to a
scant wage, now, at fairly good
wages, is able to bring into being
four or five or six times the value

PATHS EairNland.

Craig-y-nos castle, situated at the
base of The Rock of Night" N of
the many high hills which stretch
away from the Brecon Beacons to-
ward Swansea bay, from which the
diva's home takes its name, appears
to the weary and footsore traveller
Ito whom a hearty meal and ample
rest is never denied) to be as an oasis
amid the desert plains. Built in the
center of a wildly romantic expanse
of scenery and traversed by the
Tawe, a bright little river which
hurries seward, babbling and rip
ping as it flows, the castle stands re
splendent, with an almost regal air,
commanding an impressive view of
the broad valley and its picturesque
surroundings.
To the left of the chateau are sit
uated the Conservatives, wineries,
peachhouses, etc, and last, but not
least, the magnificent winter garden,
which has lately been erected and
stocked with are palms and Australi-
an ferns. Here the diva takes herdaily
walk when fierce gales and drench-
ing showers deter her from Drawing
the elements. The castle and winter
garden are brilliantly illuminated by
electric light, so that the effect of the
cattle at night, when viewed from
the somber valley, is that of an en-
chanted palace situated in Fairyland.

coLLec TING DEBTS IN FRANCE.

There ant In This Country.

Points of Differ. nee Between the System
There ant In This Country.
The matter Iracticed in the collec-
ton of debts III France and in the
United States does not differ materi-
ally save in the collection and the
mode of procedure. The first step
which is necessary for a creditor in
France to take before he can use le-
gal means to collect a debt due HIM
Is to obtain Judgment against the
debtor, which is rendered by a JUS
tice of the peace, provided the
amount does not exceed $40. The de
PENDANT is required toappearin court
on a certain day and arrange for a
settlement of the account and pay a
part OF the whole of il or show cause
why.
If this arrangement is not made,
the defendant is a second time sum-
moned TO appear, and should he
then fatty refuse payment judgment
is rendered against him. The cost
of Judgment, together with that of
the summons, is betrayed by the
plaintiff and a copy of the former
sent to the debtor. He then has
three months grace to appeal beforea
civil court from the judgment already
handed down. Failing to exercise
this privilege, the matter is put in
the hands of a ''huissier," whose
functions partake of those of both
the bailiff and process server, but his
methods as well as his perogatives
resemble neither one nor the other.
The huissier upon request of the
creditor makes an abstract state
ment of the condition of the debt,
the fee for preparing and serving the
same varying according to the
length of the instrument and not ac-
cording to the Importance of the
debt. Its average cost, however, may
be placed at 81. so.
In case the debtor ignores the doc
ument an ''assignationn is served
upon him, and eight days thereafter
his furniture is seized and placed in
the hands of the huissier. The ex-
pense entailed in the preparation of
these notices is betrayed by the cred
itor, but if ut any moment the debt
or agrees to liquidate in full he isnot
only required by law to discharge
his original obligation, but to add to
it the costs of the judgment and fees
of the huissier. Whether this sys
tenn is better than the plan pursued
in the United States is a matter of
opinion.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Advertising Scheme at Niagara Falls.

searchlights on the Canadian side of
Niagara falls and project advertis

falls9 The immense curtain of water
would make a splendid background,
