The saffron industry, which formerly
bad it's principal centers Of production in
the department of NaucluSe, France, and
III the vicinity of Paris. the districts of
Nuntargis and Pithiviers. is being much
affected in those parts by the foreign
production which has sprung up in Spain
and India. The saffron has a crUcuS-
like flower of violet color. In It's interior
are the stigmas, which yield the coloring
material commonly known as "saffron.'
The French peasants pick the flowers and
tn Ike them home to diveSt them of their
stigmas. Men and women do this work
during the winter evenings. The base OF
the flower is pinched, and the stgmas,
losing their adhesion, are easily drawn
out. They are then dried, either III front
of wood or charcoal ire, or ariiicially,
and shipped i'll bags, cases, kegs or tin
boxes. These StiGmaS. which form the
essential part of the plant, contain Il VIOLA

THE MAJORS EXPERIENCE.
From the Detroit Fres Press.


One of the stanchest supporters of the
deep-water way from the Great Lakes to
the ocean is Major A. G. Bishop, of 10
Third avenue, Detroit, a civil engineer
Of wide experience and considerable prom
inence in his profession. He was assist
ant engineer On the Hudson River Rail
road in 1850, and has since conducted
large engineering operations. He has
been located in Detroit since 1915, and
has large acquaintance among the bust
ness men and citizens of this city.
Two years ago, for the first time Major
Bishop was in the hospital. For two
months he had the best of medical at
tendance, but when he was discharged
be was not like the Major Bishop of old.
When asked regarding his health, he said:
when l had my last spell of sickness
and came out of the hospital I was

She had touched the right chord at last.
The hardest heart might have been soft
ened at the wistful pleading of Lady Sci

might do well:'
Il am sure. Give me your promise that
you will shake off that foolish timidity
and shine as you were meant to do; leave
the rest to me. We can meet at my
house this evening to discuss and select
the scenes that strike us most. We must
find one, though, in which we can all ap-
pear together. Prince Cesare likes Miss
Leigh, I think"
Does he:" asked Lady Selwyn. she
is very beautiful and very gifted. She
seems to know everything by instinct. She
always does the right thing at the right
time. and says the very words she should
say when they ought to be said
You are very generous" cried Coun-
tess Sitan, opening her lovely eyes.
Now, if l were you, 1 should be horribly
jealous of Miss Leigh
Why" asked Lady Niolante, calmly,
but her heart beat as it had never done
before.
Il cannot quite tell why" replied the
countess, with shrug OF the pretty
shoulders; ''only that she seems so often
to take your place"
because l cannot take it myself in
terrupted Lady Selwyn.
Il svould!' said the countess. Il am
not very wise, but have quick instincts,
and foresee both danger and unhappi-
ness for you unless you make a great eff
fort to assert yourself. Whose will rules
your house? Miss Leigh's! Who rules
your child Miss Leigh. Who influences
your husband Miss Leigh
"Ah, no. cried Lady Selwyn, mot that

you must be blind if you do not see
it." said Countess Sitani; every one else

self, as | see you do, and being fright
cned at every shadow, be bold-know
your own rights. and let no one interfere

Creakiu1 Shoes.

Now that the summer is again upon
us, explained n shoe dealer to a Star re-

prevent shoes from cracking. for, as ycu
know, shoes rarely ever creak except dur
ing exceedingly dry weather or i'll the
summer time There are all kinds of
cures for this trouble. but the simplest
think. is 10 rub a few drops of coal oil IN
the soleS, near the edges. If this doesn't
stop it, the next best thing is to have Il
shoemaker drive a few wooden pegs n
the solps. The combination Of both will
surely keep them quiet. Scwed shoes of
the best makes often creak as much as
cheap shoes. The difficulty comes from
cutting the inner and outer soles. If they
are not exactly the same size they Hre
liable to creak. Water hot or cold is
