Partisan Lawyers.

Lawyers in France, according to
Rochester gentleman, who has just
returned from three years sojourn
in Paris, do not have such an easy
time as they do in this country, says
the Union and Advertiser. There, far
from encouraging the bright young
men Of the land to enter into the leg:l
profession, il would seem that they are
discouraged and every obstacle thrown
in their path, the result generally
being that it is only rich man who
can be lawyer.
"Under the regulations at present
in force" says this Rochester gentle
man, ''barristers, after they have kept
their terms and passed sort of three
years novitiate, during which they
| have the title of advocate, but have no
voice in the deliberations of the coun-
Gil Of discipline, are inscribed on
the rolls. They can plead during
the three years probation, but it is q
sort of empty privilege in nine cases
out ten. When an eminent barrlste1
in Franco employs a junior il
is generally some one inscribed or
the rolls; should he employ the pro
bationor, the honor thus accorded hin
must suffice. He does not pay him.
''But he must live, and here is
where the problem comes in, which il
much more easily solved by the Ameri
can or English young lawyer than it il
by his Partisan brother. In che frs
place, there is the outlay for bis gown
or beretta, which COMES close to SIG
unless he prefers to hire it at the rat
Of ten cents per day. Then he mus
engage some one to teach him deport
1nent, fo- this is an essential qualities
ton in this land, where King Etiquett
rules with an iron hand. The service
of professor OF the conservatory mus
also be called in to train bis voice
unless nature has been kind to him i
that respect. But these expenses Of
mere incidents. He must, above al
not live in small chambers and Ter
dingy Offices. Poverty is poor Ike
to open the pockets OF clients"

than they are now, and with the old
Puritan drivers of the defunct stage
coach, with their many.caped long
drab coats. But French modiste can;
easily mako gown of beauty out Of
even drap cloth. She combines it with
black and Danish or Spanish or Brit
ish red so artistically and deftly that
the dowdy dress of drab becomes in
the hands of this sartorial prestidigi-,
tator triumphant success. Set it
against, for example, one of the brick
red gowns Of cloth with black and,
white vest, and q brick.red velvet toque
en- suite. and rivalry there is none be-.
tween the two. The one is vulgar and
provokinsly aggressive, the other sufh-
cicntly smart and eminently attractive,
but quiet withal. Anoth fancy OF
the French woman combines the drab
material with cream cloth accessories
braided in gold or stripped with the
narrowest lines of red and gold braid
laid side by side.

A NMeer township.

In Windsor County. Vermont, is
about IS queer a town es there is in
the United States. Its name ia Balti-
more, and it poss esses little Of inter.
est save 8 history in which none Of it's
inhabitants express the slightest pride.
Baltimore is fairly old, as American
towns>go, having been set of from
Cavendish and organized in 1898. 1t
then had PTS presumably ambitious
and hopeful inhabitants, but every
census taken since then has revealed a
steady growth-downward. In 1900
the place had lost one citizen, and the
subsequent record stands as follows
In 1900, 207 inhabitants; 1920, 204
1880. 179; 1910; 1856; 1850, 1914;
18G0,~11G; 1870, So: 1881, II, and
1890, g.. To-day the number is SO,
and one Of the 50 spends his winters
in the Soldiers Home at Brattleboro' :.
Nothing ever happened in the town,
not even crime, and it has no dig
tinguished sons or daughters. The
houses are scattered over the terri.
tory included within Baltimore'E
limits, nowhere forming anything like
q village, and there is no store, nc
church, no postofice, ncr even cider
mill. The people ore prosperous
enough, as Vermont farmers define
prosperity, but they keep moving
away whenever opportunity offers, ant
| nobody ever moves in. 1t is twenty
years since wedding took place
there. Boston Transcript.

A CHEAP TURKISH BATH.

In these busy days few people can
spare tho time, even if they have the
money, for q genuine Turkish bath.
AS substitute nothing is better than
the following: Havo the bath mod
erately filled with hot water, into
which throw two good handfuls of
common soda, the soda which is used
for household purposes. Sit IN the
bath, throwing water oil over the
body with sponge.
When you have done this thorough
ly, dry quickly with g coarse towel,
and then use either flesh brush or o
new harsh towel, rubbing the body
rapidly to give it glow. The next
morning you will find your skin beau
tifully soft and clean. A woman once
quito martyr TO rheumatism takes
this bath once a week as q preven'
tive to that horrible pain, and since
doug so hes not felt d twinge. The
best time to take it is on going to bed.
as the soda opens the pores so that 6
little care is necessary not to get .
chill. -Chicago Record.

WORDS OF WISDOM,

You know the man when you know
the company he keeps.
If good advice were gold, every poe
ket would be full Of money.
The man who has q strong will is
often strong in nothing else.
Hypocrisy is certificate Of good
character vice gives to virtue.
The worlds creed is, 'He is the best
man who wears the best coat.
The MN who is envious Of evil doors
will soon be an evil doer himself.
The man who will not live up to his
convictions is untrue to himself.
Gray hair and wrinkles may come,
but happy heart is always young.
Where the temperature is just right
for q saint it is too warm for sinner.
The man who stands behind truth
to fight has d shelter that is bullet
proof.
If all the humor Of life could only
be known, what jolly world this
would be.
The man whose knowledge all comes
from books will not find it the power
to move living men.

never yet produced any wool on the

Ike Indian Way Of Driving.

Commenting on the attempt made
by the Government in lSG7to civ,lize
the prairie indians by supplying them
with the garb and food of the white
man, Colonel "Bob" Dodge, Of Dodge
City, says: "lhe authorities senS tho
Indians thousands of sacks Of flour;
pentaloons in abundance, aud big
lot of stif'rimmcd hats, bounlaropnd
the edge with tin OR German silver TO
hold the rim in shape. They also
sent them few lightrunning ambu-
lances. The savages, 10 show their
appreciation OF these magnanimous
gifts from the Great Father threw
the flour on the prairie in order to
get the sacks for breech clouts. They
cut out the seats of the pantaloons,
and they cut the crowns off the hats
and used them as p!aythings, shying
them in the air, like a white boy does
6 flat stone, to see them sail away.
"The ambulances they were proud
of. The Government neglected to
send any harness with them, so tho
Indicrs manufactured their own.
They did not understand anything
about lines, and, instead, they drove
with q quirt, or short whip; when
the near horse would go too much
geo. they whipped up the off horse,
and when he would 60 too much
'haw, they pounded away at the near
horse again, and so vice versa all the
time. This unique manner OF driving
kept the poor animals in dead rur
most Of tho time. I remember taking
a ride with Little Raven, Chief OF the
Arapahoes. At first we started OF
gently, but his ponies did not g
straight, SO he Kept tapping them

TO RESTORE CREPE.

Black crepe may be freshened and
made to look almost equal to new IT
treated in the following way: Lay
over the ironing table piece of black
cambria or cloth of any kind and.pin
the piece OF crepe smoothly through
to tho blanket, stretching it out to its
original size. Wiring another piece OF
black cambria out of water and lay it
over the crepe, patting it down with
the palm of the hand. Now take hot
latirons and pass them over the wet
cloth, but allowing no pressure to
come upon the crepe. When the
cloth has become dry from the heat OF
the iron remove it, but let the crepe
remain pinned down until ell the
moisture has evaporated and it is per.
fectly dry. Tho crepe will now feel
and look like new. A long veil can be
renovated in this way, making sure
that the part redressed comes under
the edge Of the wet cloth.

THE WAIST NOT DOOMED.

Many indeed are the false prophetn
that have arisen and sounded forth the
extinction aud doom Of che fancy
waist, the separate waist, the blouse,
the surplice and any Of the rest of the
corsaees not made en- suite with the
dress skirt. We heard and trembled,;
for is it not universal favorite, q
most trim, convenient, and faithful
friend? Verify it is ali these and much
more, but its merits need not DO en-
larged upon; they are known and!
thoroughly appreciated by all except
the very limited minority whose bust;
ness it is, for their profit, to invent
new and not always desirable fashions.
Long live the separate waist, plain or
fancy, say I, and am positive that
the same wish lives in the hearts OF at
least niue.tenths Of my countrywomen.'
OF course there arc waists and Waists;
and OF course tho most perfect styles
are made or sold by high class modistes
or importers, and the range from these
special elegant garments down to the
cashmere waists sold for less than q
dressmaker would fit and finish one,
for, is something wonderful. One
cannot cordially praise many OF the 70

THE cosru1rsr MATERIALS EVER WOVEN.

TIE COsTuIEsr MATERIALS EVER WOVEN,
One Of tho most beautiful and with
out doubt the costiiest materials even:
woven in Lyons, France, is the mag
nihcent and unique brocade manufac7
turcl last summer for the German En-.
press. The ground is silvery.white
silk, and the highly raised design con-
sist Of bold sprays OF flowers and foil,
age, among which bright plumaged
birds disport themselves. Every petal.
leaf or feather is perfect, and the
whole stands out in such strong relief
chat ut distance the effect is as though
the pattern was laid lightly upon the,
| silk beneath.
One weaver alone was capable Of
producing this masterpiece. and it
took him many long months to com !
plete piece o. sufficient length for a
gown. The wages he received, in,
addition to his ordinary pay, were at
the rate Of $40 per yard, the eventual
price Of the brocade being $40 per-
yard. The stuff had been specially
ordered for State gown for the En-
press, but when Her Majesty beheld
it she instantly exclaimed that it was
far too beautiful to cut up, and gave
the command that curtains be made
of it instead of utilizing it for the pur'
pose originally intended. Up to that
date the most expensive material on
record was the cloth Of gold bought
by Louis XIV. for dressing gown.
which cost, according to modern
reckoning, tho respectable sum OF SS5
per metre.

POPULAR RINGS.

Little finger rings are as popular
as ever, and the birthstone is usually
worn In them for luck. As for the
solitaire ring, it will never 80 out as
long as engagements continue to be
made, and the cluster rings, as we'll as
tho six stones set IN a row, arc still
good style.
y The unique, dull setting is again in
favor. 1t is almost ponderous, after
the light aud fragile ''wire' settings
to which our eyes have become &C.
customed. Two bison.heads, support
ing between them clouded or star
sapphire, or the claws OF bear, clasp
u burning ruby, are among the de-
signs. Snakes Of oil kinds are horri-
bly, in vogue, flexible things for brace
let's, three.headed reptiles for rings,
coiling gold and diamond snakes for
belt buckets and snakes with wicked
emerald and ruby eyes and diamond
heads for brooches and pins. Why
this should be SO it is hard to say.
Women have always loathed snakes
with an unconquerable loathing, ever
since Eve came to grief through the
wilcs of the serpent Of Eden. Yet
eranddaughters OF that same Eve buy
these gold and jeweled horrors, ant
love their contact. It is odd. On'
would naturally suppose that snake
would be unhappy additions to an
woman's jewels, yet jewelers. say tina
many women seem to adore snakeS' -

THE HERALD and all other

fact pointed. out by Editor

Us; that is, the greater field af

occupied by THE HERALD, on
account OF the very large pro-
portion OF BrownsVille's popu

seem that if the comparatively
small American population of
this place supports one daily,
the town of Cuero, where every
one reads English, might keep
