impresses me as being very modern in
its progressivcness. The port is alive
with commerce and from the docks on G
obtains a beautiful view of the Gironde
river which caressingly throws an
arm about the city. There are lovely
public gardens here, and the city is
dotted with handsome Il nd imposing
monuments and beautiful fountains
The Hotel de Vile, the municipal resi-
dence, is magnificent in its interior
decorations. The churches are also
interesting. but the most attractive
feature to the historically inclined are
the ruins of the ''Palais-Gallien."
Bordeaux was held by the English
during the Hundred Years War and
many of the successful invasions of
middle France set out from this city.
The Black Prince" maintained his
court here with regal magniticence and
astonishing extravaganza, while his
son, Richard H., is known in history
as Richard of Bordeaux, because of the
number of years he lived here.
But coming nearer to our own times
this tlourishng French city has great
er interest for us. When the Legisla-
tive Assembly met in France in 1871
that body held two factions known as
the "Mountainists" and the "Giron-
dists." The former were very radical
and while the last favored the estab-
lishment of a republic such as had just
been set up in the United States they
were very moderate in their feelings of
resentment toward Louis XVI. who
had attempted to escape from France.
This moderation melted the radicalism
of "The Mountainists' and "The Gil
rondists" were delivered over to
bowling Parisian mob who soon hur-
ried them to execution. But Bordeaux

The improvement Of the condition

that if | can, even by using the words
of others, bring into clearer view, or
throw any light on the character and
habits of growth of this valuable class
of plants of which Red Glover is the
foremost, and of the conditions which
seem to prevent us from reaping the
benefits of its greatest production, you

Mr.. EDIToR:-I left you on the
threshold of a Arcachon, famous sea-
side resort, dear to the BOrlelaise and
to the people eofsouthwest France. On
our arrival we We're met by the Mayor
and members of the municipal Council.
Arcachon is used as health resort both
in winter and summer. 1t is shut in
from stormy and wintry winds, but yet
has the advantage of the fresh sea
breezes and the delicious smell Of the
pines, which is said to be fine remedy
for consumptivcs.
The town is situated in cove and
is the only port of refuge worthy of
the name in line of $50 miles on the
inhospitable coasts of the Bays of Bis
cay and Gascony. After a sumptuous
breakfast the Congressists divided into
three parties and took most delight

of the Bay of Biscay.
Returning to Arcachon we visited
the Casino which occupies Il command

bosomed in pine woods. After which

eral miles of the beautiful country sur
rounding Arcachon and then took our
special train back to Bordeaux where

Hotel awaited
On the following day the business of
the Congress was resumed and the diff.
ferent articles of the projected Inter

adopted subject to amendments at the

SONG OF THENEW WOMAN'S HUSBAND.

BY JENNY TERRILL RUPRECHT.
With his right hand he hastes to rock
The pretty wicker cradle
And with his left hand in sock,
He stands beside pot of mush,
OF seething mush, OF red hot mush,
And tries to WELD the lade.
And AS he works he fain woud sing,
The restless twins to quiet;
But, ah! his rhymes get sadly mixed
In with the corn meal diet
''Hush! hush! hush!
Mush! mush! mush!
Lie still and slumber;
Mammy's got wheels in her hea :;
She's gone to The polls,
You poor little souls,
And wish that your daddy dead! dead! dead
How wish that your daddy iead''
This lullaby the twins doth shock.
They shrek; he rocks the ftst'r;
And from his left hand slips the SICK
Into that iron pot Of mush,
OF seethng mush, of red hot mush,
To heighten the disaster,
In vain he tries to claw it out
And cooks his brawny feelers;
.'Hush up!" he roars unto the twins,
''You eve lasting squeaers!
Hush! hush! hush!
Mush! mush! mush
Lie still and sumber,
Mammy's got wheels in her head;
She won't care skip
If you die OF the pip,
Nor if daddy is burned till he's dead! dead! dead!
In pot OF hot mush till he's dead!
Just then his voting wife walks in,
Alas it's she, none other;
And asks, with elevated chin,
Say, do you boil your socks in mush:
Is this your way Of m liking mush!'
Is this the way Of your mother"
''No-o," stammered he. 1.-The sock fell in
This sock that was darning;
1t scorched thee twi ins and screamed The mu u>h
Without a moments warning.
Hush! hush! hush!
Musi! muSh! muSh!
Lie still and sIumber;
Mammy's got wheels in her head;
She's home from the polls,
You poor little souls,
And wish that your daddy was dead! dead! dea
Now L wish that your daddy dead"
