FRANCES PEASANT POET.
He Was Discovered by AIphonse Daudet
and Is Already Famous.

Alphonse Daudet, the famous French
author, has recently made the unique
discovery of peasant poet, and mas
launched him SO well that he has al
ready achieved fame and fortune beyond
his widest dreams.
His name is Baptiste Bonnant. and he
is OF Province, the country of Jasmln,
some of whose verses Longfellow trans
lated, and of Frederic Mistral Bonnant
writes only. in Provencal, a dialect SO
difficult that it is almost separate Ian.
guage, but Daudet has translated much
of his work into French.
Bonnant tells the story Of his life
briefly: II worked in my fathers fields
until I was twenty, he says, land could
not read or write, but, unlike my broth
ers in toll, was not blind to the beau
ties Of nature, and sang of them uncon-
sciously in a sort of rude, rhythmic
prose. I made romances for her whom
1 loved and an epitaph for my fathers
tomb.
II went into the army. and there
learned to read and write. Wounded at
Buzenval in 1871, stretched on a mattress
in church, which had been turned into
a hospital, L made verses for the women
who nursed me, and when l was cured
they wished to find me place in Paris.
| preferred to return TO my native coun-
try however, but there | found Iny
brothers grown to manhood, and hardly
able to wiring meagre subsistence from
our barren little corner of earth. Seeing
that was one too many 1 went to Paris,
where, with two compatriots, Maurice
Faure, the deputy from Valence, and his
friend, Theodore Aubanel, founded the
Provencial paper Viro Soulen in the
first number of which one of my stories
appeared. Two days later l received.a
letter from Frederic Mistral and one
graduated me, and the other hailed me
as a great prose poet, and asked me to
call on him.
sat that time was poor, my clothes
were ragged, my shoes full of holes, my
wife was ill, and I had scarcely enough
to eat. Had I been rich / would have
visited Daudet. was poor and did not
from time to time, and on each occasion
Daudet and Mistral wrote to me. One
day-I had but thirteen sous-I decided
to call on Daudet. How was I received?
i" what cried the master. I am rich
and famous; you poor and unknown. /
asked myself, Who is this man? Why
does he not come? Is he too proud?
Does he fear that will eat hims'
"When he learned my distress Daudet
almost wept. He filled my hands with
money, and two days afterwards found
me a position with a publisher. Natur-
ally, when was no longer starving,
when had bed and warm clothing, /
had the heart to write and to pu ubiisb
my first book, the, Memories dun Ig-
noraEt,' which has just appeared with
the ProvencaI text by me and the
French translation of the opposite page
by Alphose Daudet."
With the money derived from the sale
of his work Bonnant has bought little
place on the Mediterranean, in his be-.
loved Provence, and there proposes to
live out his days tilling the soil and
making verses.

Howells ON Dante.

Again say it is great pity that criti-
cism is not honest about the masterpieces
of literature and does not confess that they
are not everymoment masterly; that they
are often dull and tough and dry, as is
certainly the case with Dante's, writes
William Dean Howells in The Ladies'
Home Journal Some day perhaps we
shall have this way of stating literature,
and the lover of it will not feel obliged to
cheat himself into the belief that if he is
not always enjoying himself it is his own
fault. At any rate, will permit myself
the luxury of frankly saying that While
had deep sense of the majesty and gran
deur of Dante's design many points OF its
execution bored me, and that the inter
mixture Of small local facts and neighbor-
hood history in the fabric of his lofty crea-
tion is no part of its noblest effect. What
is marvellous in it is it's expression of
Dante personality, and can never think
that his personalities enhance its greatness
as work of art, enjoyed them, how
ever, and enjoyed them the more as the
innumerable perspectives of italian history
began to open all about me. Then indeed
I understood the origins if I did not un-
derstand the aims Of Dante.

Growth of the Hair.

The hair is not like plants. 1t is moth
ing more than unsensible threads of skin,
or rather papill@, as they are called, which
grow in their proper places under the same
conditions as the nails on the finger ends.
The hair papille do not lie on. the sur
face of the skin, but are sunk more or less
deeply into it-more deeply as the hair is
longer, SO that long hairs adhere in deep
sac The number of these hair papille OF
course varies considerably with different
people, but for each individual is constant
and unchangeable and cannot be increased
any more than can the number of ones
finger nails The number of hairs depends
on the papille; consequently if there are
no papill8 there can be no hair. More
over, the number of these papill@ is con-
slant, SO that the idea of increasing their
number by clipping the hair must be
abandoned The growth of the hairs de-
pends rather on the well being of all the
papille, but they are constituent parts of
skin and share it's fate alike in both good
and evil ys.-Chautauquan.

He Cot Hall the Fine.

A man who had been on a bunting trip
in the forests Of northern Maine vouches
for the entire truth of the following story,
as he had it direct from the sheriff:
A man who lives in the Mount Katah-
din region went into the office of justice
of the peace and inquired about the PEN
atty for hunting deer with dogs, and very
particularly as to whether one-half the
fine did not go to the informer.
The justice consulted the game laws
and assured him that it did.
Every we'll, said the man. "I want to
complain of myself and SETTLE
The Justice could not back out, and so
gave the transgressor "a clean bill Of
health" upon payment of one-half of the
penalty.
1t seems that the man got wind of the
fact that a game warden had got the
drop OH him on his deer poachings with
his dogs and was only waiting an oppor-
tunity to arrest him; hence his shrewd bit
of diplomacy. (Me.) Argus.

Street Car Discipline.

The street car companies, like other
concerns employing large numbers OF men,
have system of rewards and punishment
corresponding to those Of the schoolroom.
If conductor keeps his record clear, he is
moved forward in the list toward job
with better pay as fast as men ahead Of
him either resign or are discharged. If,
however, after having been set forward 20
times, he comes to the barn a half minute
behind the time fixed for taking out his
car, he goes back to the foot of the list. If
he is sick, he must send a man to sign
him of, and if this man is a half minute
late the consequences are equally severe.

Increase A. Lapham.

The father of the weather bureau service
was Increase A. Lapham, modest and
retired but ripe scholar, who lived in Mil
waukce. He was the first to note by tele-
graph the progress of the wind currents
and storms and to predict their appearance
in specified neighborhoods.. On the
strength of a weather dispatch from Oma-
ha, in 1869 or thereabouts, he announced
the first storm OH Lake Michigan that
ever was heralded IL hours in advance of
its arrival. The first work of the weather
bureau was under his charge in Chicago.
