French industries could not live a month without Anglo-Saxon patron age English speaking women are the best patrons of the French marufae- turers. Thus the charge of Anglo Saxon lack Of taste comes back and hits the French products. It would be wiser for the French .ritics to ad- init that the client who buys the most beautiful objects offered on the mar ket has the maximum of taste.
 The total of French exports in 1895 was 3,373, ,OOO, ,O0O francs, of which Eng land and the United States together took more than one-third. The manu- factured exports were 1900, ,J00, GOO francs, of which England took 577,- 5000 and the United States 6,250-- 900, the two aggregating nearly oEe- half the total. When these manuf3c- lures are examined in detail it is seen that the most delicate, the most in trinsically precious, the most artistic fabrications of the French artisan arc consumed in English speaking com munities. The whole of Europe out side of France does not buy as much as the United States of those articles Cn which France chiefly brides itself.
 France has made luxurious dress in dustries its special field. Decorative QrGSS III lQlS age D0lOQSS 10 l00 WOIn9U, and only the women of America and England have the money and taste to become steady patrons of French fash ions. The number of such women on the European continent is surprisingly small English and American patron age is an absolute necessity fo: the prosperity of French commerce. Worth declared before parliamentary com mission in England at the .ieatk of the duke of Albany caused a loss to Paris of 15,000,000 francs.
 Chief among the French industries Is the manufacture of silk. In 1895 Eng land took French silks to the value of 120, ,250,000 francs and the United States 75,00C 900, or the two together abcut two-thirds of the total export These two countries took seven-ninths of tEe silk brocade. They took sDur-ffths Of the ribbons, and two-thirts Of the passementeries, and eiglteen-nine- tecnths of the silk lace.
 Thus the figures run through all the items, the proportion of our purchases increasing with the art and price Of the object. As art is Frances chief reliance, it is not strange that 2 few leading artisans forced the French politicians to cease their hostility to us in the Spanish war, or that France has been willing to grant the United States liberal share of space at the Paris xpositiOn.-Chicago Tribune

Arizona is rejoicing over the fact that copper is king, and they hold the treasure vaults from which the king delivers the best pay to his subjects. Great is Arizona as a copper producer. Mining Record.
 "A mining claim was located in the name of four persons. The one who 5ccated it, who was the only one who had anything to do with it, testified that after working it awhile he decided it was no good and destroyed the mon ument and went away, with the inten- tion of having nothing further to do with it.

COLONEL BEN BELL
Bearing of General Flournoy'S Teeth.
 Major Greer'S Epifsph.

Only a few of the older army officers have a personal recollection of Colonel Benjamin Bell, but stories of his de- ings and saying will five for many years. He made a great reputation in the Florida Indian war and in the Mexican war for bravery and strategy, and was a notably good singer and story teller.
 In the early fifties General FlournOy and Colonel Bell were ordered to Cal ifornia. It was a long and monoto- nous voyage, of course, via the ISthmGs of Panama. On the ship were num- Der of women passengers, some the wives of army officers and some wives of forty-niners Who having struck pay gravel, had sent for their families to join them and build up q home in the new country. General FlournOy was a beau Of the old school, and paid great attention - indiscriminately some times-to the women. He presided at were well served He was the first soon surrounded by the women. who depended on him almost exclusively to break the tedium of the day.
 The general and the colonel were close friends and occupied the same stateroom, but their sources of enjoy ment lay in diverse directions. While the gallant old general found delight in basking in the sunshine of feminine smiles, the colonel was happiest when swapping stories and lounging about the bar room of the ship. The general took his grog at regular intervals, ac- cording to discipline, while the colonel not only spliced the main brace at regular hours, but also had a habit Of drinking between drinks, and never seemed so entirely himsel: as when about half seas over The general re- tired promptly at 10 o'clock the col onel sought his berth when the bar closed for the night.
 One night during the voyage the colonel found difficulty in going to sleep and concluded that he needed another drink. He always kept a bot tie of whiskey handy for emergencies and got up and fe.t about on the little shelf for glass. He found one, took it up, shook it, discovered there was something in it, and promptly pitched the contents out of the window, filled the glass half full, tossed u eff, and in Q few minutes was snoring sonorous- ly. As daylight broke lie was rudely shaken by the general, who cried.
 Ben, Ben, wake up! Did you see anything of my teeth?"
 ''No," said the colonel, where were they?"
 T put them in some water in a glass on the shelf, said the general, his

DON'T MARRY A JOURNALIST.

''It's a risky thing to marry @ liter ary man." remarked a popular actress a few days ago. "because, you know, they are so apt to make copy as they call it, out of the most sacred incidents in life, and that is trying to a sensi- tive woman. New, my sister is mar ried to a writer, who does stories and such things, and while he's just the dearest old fellow in the world he's continually causing her pain.
 Last winter, for instance, during the cold snap, she went outdoors for some thing or other, and slipped on the sidewalk and ran her feet through the picket fence. She is rather stout, you know, so she couldn't get up, but just sat there in the snCw as if she were in stocks, or whatever they call those horrid things that the Puritans used to use. Of course she screamed for help as loud as she could, and at last Char lie heard her and came out Why. Mamie! he said, what on earth is the matter" and she told him that she had slipped on the ice and her feet were caught in the fence. How amusing says he; what a splendid incident for little sketch.' and would ycu believe II, he actually forgot all about her and turned around and went into the house and wrote story 1000 words long, with Mamie sitting there in the snow just yelling her lungs outl
 When they found her she was frozen fast to the walk. and they had to pry her loose. Mad? Well, it pretty near ly broke up their home. It's just as I tel you, a sensitive woman is running a great risk when she marries a liter ary n.'-New Orleans Times-Dem- OcTat.

voice full of pathos and his toothlesa mouth quivering. Have you any idea where they are?''
 What time is it?'' asked Bell.
 Seven o'clock said the general ''Time to get dressed.
 How many knots an hour is this boat making?" asked Bell.
 About twelve, I think" replied the general, but don't worry me about 1 that now-where do you suppose my teeth are?"
 We'll replied Bell, as he turned On | his other side II should judge your teeth are about 100 miles to the rear of us if it's o'clock I threw the con- tents of that glass out the window be- fore midnight-I didn't know it was your teeth-you should keep 'eln in ] your mouth.'
 Poor General Fournoy kept his state room for the remainder of the voyage under plea of illness, and had a dread ful time of it in keeping out the wo- men passengers who wanted to insist upon helping to nurse him. He would rather have faced every Indian tn the whole country than have Cne of them see him without his teeth It was long before he ever thoroughly fCrgave Colonel Bell
 Colonel Bel had another intimate friend in the dragons, Maior William Greer, who was the tallest and thinpest man in the army, with q very fiat face and an abnormally wide mouth. Ma jo- Greer was in many severe engage ments with the Indians during the Florida war and in several hard bat ties in the Mexican war, always serv- ing under Colonel Bell His associates maintained that the reason he had never received even scratch was all owing to the unsubstantial substance that the mar&sman had to eleal with he wasn't thick enough to hit During the Mexican war, while marching along valley fringed by a heavy growth of chaparral, the troops were much harassed by guerillas firing from this screen. Colonel Bell called halt. and, sending for Major Greer, said:
 Major take companies A, B and c and SCOUT this chaparral, and kill every greaser hiding in 1t. Then in low tone he said aside to Greer: Billy. come closer. Billy, this is your last fght-these greasers can hit a hair you're a goner, Bill. But don't mind il. I'll see that you are decently bur jed, and I've arranged some lines for yOu1 IOAlDot otOnS-t4O" HJ yOu Ilhe 'em?" And he repeated thSSe lines: Here lies the body of Billy Greer. Whose mouth extends from ear to ear Stranger, tread light upon his sod, For if he gaps you're gene, lIy GOdl
 After Colonel Bell was retired in 1861 he was ordered to duty as muster ing officer at Baltimore, Md. The oath administered to recruits was very long, and he used to have them stand out in big yard and take it together with their right hands he'd high. One day a big. good natured recruit venturad to say facetiously, T guess we're mus tard now, sir"
 ''Yes,' said Colonel Bell, ''and you will be salted and peppered, too, before you get back. ."-New York Sun.
