French School Uniforms.

Nothing must seem stranger to Ameri-
cans, accustomed to see schoolboys Of all
ages come and go freely through the
streets, dressed according to their parents
taste and means, than to watch those long
lines Of French boys, sometimes nearly
grown to manhood, wearing a school ami
form Of semimilitary coats and caps and
led out for walk like a flock of sheep by
a shepherd. Their uniform is worn with
out any pretension to strict regimental
regulation. The little fellows look ridicu-
lous, as their brass buttoned coats are gen.
orally too long and i'll fitting. Their sole
care seems to be directed toward playing
the worst tricks they can on the usher
who is leading them. Schoolboy slang
dubs this overseer pion, a chess pawn,
and there is no more perfect example of
butt than this subaltern functionary. His
tyrannlcal supervision, his power to in
fict punishment for the slightest peccadillo,
necessarily make him hated by those whose
words and least actions he watches during
recess as we'll as durire study hours. If
the usher Is vulgar or coarse at times, the
boys are in general far from having good
manners -Th. Benton in Century.

young woman to the young man who has
just made the rusty old cry of "The wom-
On are crowding us out !"
"Well, 1 don't mind listening to your
talk, but can't see how that will increase
my salary or open moro avenues for MAX
ing money" he says respectfully, yet dog
gedly.
lam not keeping you out of position,
nor keeping your salary down at all. am
only trying to earn my own living, and
have as good right to do that as you have
to earn yours" she answered spiritedly.
Just look at the thousands of girls who
are now holding positions that were held
by men, and at much better salaries.
Doesn t that mean that thousands of men
have been crowded QUIT"
No, it doesn't. We never get position
unless there is vacancy. We don't make
vacancies; we only fill them.'
We'll, if you weren't around, they
would have to take us.
But we can't help being around"

A good way to store cabbage is to
open trenches and set the heads in
them, closely together upon their roots,

an inverted trough made of two boards,
and this, later on, with litter or manure.
Soft heads thus set out will grow hard
during winter. The stumps may be
planted out in spring and will produce

While the Thief Stole His Scarfpin He

The car was crowded, and there was
barely room for the tall, somewhat flashily
dressed man who swung himself on the
back platform and squeezed his way to the
railing. He drew newspaper from his
pocket, and in a moment was apparently
absorbed in its contents.
He soon worked his way around until he
stood facing short, heavy set man whose
breathing was somewhat interfered with
by the pressure of the crowd about him.
The tall man paper half hid the fat man

his body like blanket

from the crowd on the platform. AS he
pushed his way out there were the usual
squirming and twisting to make room,
and the tall man leaned over his vis-a-yis
and half smothered him with his news
paper.
Amoment later the tall man hurriedly
elbowed his way to the steps, and, jump
ing off, walked rapidly down side street.
The fat man put his hand up to his scarf
inquiringly and quietly remarked.
That rascal has got my spark. I
thought he was after it all the time. y

EVANGELIST FISCHER.
A Sketch of Evangelist's Life and
Work.

Rev. ]. E. Fischer of Wexford, r. l.,
Is the evangelist, who is at the present
time laboring with the pastor and people
of the Congress street Methodist church
In series of revival meetings. Mr..
Fischer was born at Wurten burg Neres-
helm, Germany In 1856. the youngest of
eighteen children. When hut mere
youth he came to America accompanied
by brother, but they soon after became
separated owing to the demands of the
business in which they were engaged, SO
that for twenty years neither knew
where the ether was. or had not heard
from the folks at home. During his life
in this country he has been employed
principally in work about the quarries
and mines of the West. and has devoted
few years to work in large depart
ment store.
He was from birth a Catholic ana has
been nurtured in that church and
doctrine, until about twelve years ago
he was converted to the Protestant faith.
soon after his conversion he went to
South America where he was employed
by De Lesseps of the Isthmus of Panama
company. and while there devoted much
time as an evangelist among the en-
ployes.
From here he returns to the States and
locates in California and becomes q
settled pastor in charge of Methodist
churches at Anaheim and Santa Barbara.
Three years ago he began to devote bis
life and labors to the work of an eyange-
list and during this brief space of time
has held meetings in various sections OF
the United states, his labors meeting
with success.
His home is now at Wexford, R. l.,
where he married Miss Deodata, the
daughter of Hon. A. B. Chadsey, a
prominent citizen and politician of that
pla ce. Mrs. DR.. G. A. Baker and Mrs
DR.. H. P. Merrill of this city are cousins
of the evangelist's wife.
Mr.. Pisoher's meetings in this city
have been well attended, the interest of
the people in the work is good, and his
labors are being crowned with success.
