NOT A PHILANTHROPIST.
Although He Willingly Gave New Floor
For an Old One.

Although He Willingly Gave q New Floor
For an Old One.
1t is not very often that such seem
ingly philanthropicsoffer is made by one
business man to another as that told of
by partner in an old bullion house to
reporter.
'sNot long age" he said, "a dealer
in gold and silver heard that one floor
of building which had not been occu-
pied for some time was to be rented,
but that the prospective tenant had in
take possession, as the old one had be-
come very much worn. The bullion
dealer knew that the previous occupant
had been manufacturer of jewelry and
had been in business in the place for
many years. He promptly visited the
owner Of the property and told him that
he would put in new floor of the best
wood for nothing. The owner made q
few inquiries, but the dealer said very
little in reply, except that he thought
he would manage to scrape good deal
Of gold and silver dust from off the
floor. His offer was accepted. The wood
for the new floor and the labor for lay
ing it cost about $500.
''The old flooring was burned and
the ashes put through course Of re-
duction. The result was that the bullion
dealer obtained nearly $500 for the gold
and silver which were brought out, or a
profit of about 100 per cent on the oper-
alton.
EVERY manufacturer of jewelry or
worker in the precious metals calculates
that he will lose about $500 in 'satu-
rating new quarters Of the usual loft
size The gold and silver dust penetrates
the pores of the wood and small parti-
cles are ground into the floor After
just SO much is lost in this way the
waste ceases and all dust that falls to
the floor or adheres to tie wall may be
swept up Or off and saved. The sweep
ings in these factories and in bullion
Offices are always saved and reduced"

In the northern part of Georgia l
came upon a negro cabin, and, as ap-
preached, it became evident that some
extraordinary commotion was going on
within. In fact, shouts and yells Of ter
ror succeeded one another so rapidly
that hastened to see what could be the
trouble.
As I drew rein before the door half
dozen ragged pickaninnies ran out
All but one Of them were screaming
and crying at the tops Of their voices,
while the odd one, as merry as the 9th
ers were sad, began tumbling cart
wheels and standing on his head. At
this moment man, evidently the head
Of the household, appeared in the door
way, and in answer to my inquiries
gave me the following explanation of
the mystery:
yer see, sab, dis is 'Rastus' birf-
day." indicating the one whose joyful
antics I have just mentioned. "Now,
I'ze powerful hard up jes' at presen'
an didn't hab no money ter celebrate in
de usual way. An it jes' bruk me all up
ter see de res habin jes' as much fun
on 'Rastus' birfday as 'Rastus was
habin hisself. So, times bein so hard,
de only way could see was ter glib der
res all a lickin, an dat kinder raises
'Rastus up ober de odders.
A quarter flung to 'Rastus proved a
charm that raised him still higher and
dried the tears of the others in an in
stant. Happier children than these same
pickaninnies as I rode away, a moment
later, it would be hard to find. r

CONSUMPTION IN FRANCE.
Tho French Army Is One Of the Greatest
of Modern Times.

Tho French Army Is One Of the Greatest
Of Modern Times.
every Frenchman owes service to
the state in return for the protection it
affords his person, his rights and his
property" This principle is the foun-
dation of the military administration Of
the French, whose army is one Of the
greatest of modern times. and whose
military discipline is said to approach
as near to perfection as is considered
possible in SO great an organization.
Formerly the period of active military
service was five years, but recently the
chamber passed bill reducing it to
three, at the same time lengthening the
periods spent with the various stages of
the reserve force. AS in Germany, it is
possible to get reduction of this term
provided the young man can produce
proof of a certain standard Of education.
The degree Of bachelier, the certifi-
cate d'etude or the passing Of a special
examination set for the purpose enables,
though it does not entitle, the recruit to
get his period Of service reduced to one
year. This Communication is only granted
where there is sufficient ground for be-
Ieving the men are adequately trained
and up to the required standard.
Once out of the active army, the men
pass into the reserve for six years, where
they undergo a short annual period Of
training until thoroughly efficient sol
diers. The next six years are spent with
the reserve, after which they are drafted
into the territorial army, or third line
Of defense, for another six years, fire.
quently rising in rank to the position of
lieutenant, but not higher Thence they
are put on the reserve territorial list.
This system gives France peace army
Of over 500, 900, which in time of war
can be augmented to $500, 900 men, or
even more.
Partly as result of the republican
nature of the Frenchman, and the adj
ministrative government, there is hardly
ever a trace Of class feeling in the rank
The man Of good blood receives no bet
ter and no worse treatment at the hands
of his fellows and his superior officers
than does the recruited farmland, and
rich and poor share equally and good
naturedly the pleasant duties and the
dirty work.
Of course there as everywhere well
lined purse is a passport to certain de-
gree Of comfort and exemption from the
distasteful, but the unfortunate indi-
vidual who is foolish enough to give
demonstration Of too much love for
clean fingers and whiteness of skin will
find that money will not buy him free
of the jobs he tries to steer clear of,
and that the orderly will take delight
in putting him on to all the dirty work
he can finland seeing that he does
it.-New York Mercury.
