The scene was appalling. In the

from. The ingram truth tellers,
who speak truth from instinct
and obligation, are the kindest, most
self-sacriicing and most faithful of
friends. They say disagreeable things
when the saying is necessary, and it
costs them much more to speak them
than to lend their last hundred dollars.
Unduly disagreeable things are often
no more the truth than the actions
which we call politeness. The end of
truth is neither to please nor to dis
please, but to say the thing which is,
and to avoid saying the thing which is
not. When we are asked for bread are
we to hold out in return the empty
hand, or give the stone wrapped in
paper and nicely tied? We would not
pass counterfeit coin for worlds, how
is 1t then that we are not ashamed Of
passing counterfeit opinions and COM
pliments daily? Harsh language, do
you say? We are growing so finical
that we scarce dare speak of the meri

THE FRENCH CHAMBERS.
Powers of the Minor Legislative body OF
the Nation.


The process of legislation in the
French chambers is very simple.
Each chamber may initiate legis-
lation upon any subject except the
finances; and bill upon any sub
ject whatsoever must be passed In ell
its parts by a majority vote in both
chambers in order to become law.
This is not only necessary, but it is also
sufficient, i. e., the president of the re-
public has no veto power upon the leg
islation of the chambers. The consti-
tuition provides a period of thirty DAYS
between the passage of the law by
the chambers and its necessary pro-
mitigation by the PRESIDENT of the re-
public, and reduces this period to three
days in case the chamber should vote
that PRONUNCIATION is urgent. Within
these respective periods the president
of the republic may demand of the
chambers reconsideration of the
measure, and they are required by the
constitution to accord the request II
they repass the measure by majority
vote, the president must yield and pro-
mulgate the law.
The chambers can also initiate the
call of the national assembly for the
purpose of amending or revising the
constitution. The chief question which
has arisen in the exercise of this power
is whether the chambers can limit the
action of the national assembly by
their agreement beforehand upon the
subjects in regard to which the consti-
tuition may be amended orrevised The
affirmative view of this question would
be security to the rights and powers
of the smaller body, the senate, since
the national assembly is composed of
the members of the two chambers in
joint assembly, but the more numerous
deputies have espoused with great una
nimity the negative views and it must
be recognized that they have the logic
of the matter with them. The national
assembly is the sovereign power in the
constitution and cannot be limited,
therefore, by branch of the govern
ment, or even by the whole govern
ment in its action. The national as.
sembly may consider any subject it will
when once it is organized. The cham
bers in joint assembly also elect the
president of the republic. Prof John
w. Burgess, LII. d., in Chautauquan

ONE-SiDED ADVICE,
The Men of the Family Need Look Pleas
ant, Too.

Women are always being told how
ihey should behave when the man of
the house comes home; they are adj
vised to be cheerful and well dressed,
no matter how tired they feel, and in
all ways to make the home coming
bright and pleasing, putting the an
noyances out of sight and presenting
to the view of the lord and master only
the best side, when in reality there has
been much to veX and worry, and which
If told to sympathizing husband or
father would not seem half so burden
some.
This advice is hackneyed, and seldom,
II ever, is there a word said about the
behavior of the self-same men, whom
women are supposed to please, even at
the expense of their own feelings How
many mon, even though they do find
their wives looking sweet and pretty to
welcome them, ever tell them so? They
take the good looks, the pleasant smile
and the womauly courtesy as their
right and never think that it would
please their life partners to have some
pleasant little complimentary speech
made to them, as in the olden DAYS
before my lord, the head of the house,
was quite so sure of them.
Then, again, woman is told to keen
herself well informed, so that she may
be able to enter into mental companion
ship with her husband. Some men, per-
hans, sit up and talk or keep awake long
enough to read about few chapters
from some widely-discussed novel, but
too many find it impossible for them to
keep awake when once the omfortable
slippers and lounging jacket are
donned. In many families the repre-
sentative evening is the one which the
husband dozes on the couch, and the
wife reads or sews in undisturbed and
maddening silence.
A man will argue in refutation of
these statements that the wage-earner
is tired and needs rest. Granted that
he does, then let hi be just, and not
expect too much from his WIFE whose
day is far more wearing and vexatious
than his own. If he likes to see his wife
dressed uplat him pay particular at
tention to the niceties of his own toilet.
If he expects her to be we'll informed
let him prove himself to be compan-
ion who can talk and help her by
pleasant interchange of thought. 1t
isn't fair to demand so much in wo-
man and pass over such glaring defects

years ago in the back wilderness of the
Guianas. have the most vivid recol-
lection of it for the sufficient reason
that it was the one incident in my long
South American experience when |
completely lost nerve"
My wanderings as an orchid hunter
had carried me far into the interior,
in the neighborhood of the tlumirida
mountains. Before reaching the level
of the great Roraima savannah, the
trail ran through belt of virgin forest
that must have been there when Column
bus contracted ''life's fitful fever" It
surpassed in grandeur anything had
yet seen in Brazil, Bolivia, Guatemala
or anywhere else. Below, the stems
stood isolated, as 1t were, each giant
monarch in his own domain, the slim
NEST we saw measuring fifteen feet
around, whilst some of the larger were
more than double that size. They rose
like columns, Unbranched to the
height of some sixty or seventy feet,
where their mighty outsprcading
branches, laden with dense foliage,
formed canopy almost impervious to
rain and through which the sunlight
could never pierce.
Our camp at the time of which
write was amongst the foot hills of the
Humiridas, across belt of the great
savannah which divided the mountains
from this forest One morning while
collecting in the hills where the forest
was stalwart enough, but far from
dense, warm splatter on my face
broke the enthusiasts spell, for was

tion had blinded me TO the fact that
