HOW PARISIANs WORK.
Hours Which Would Hardly Do for a
HustIing American.

From the Chicago News.
One of the features of street life in Paris
which strikes the American visitor with
wonder is the extraordinary number of
men of leisure to be seen at all hours of
the day, lounging and chatting in the
cafes. The fact is that many OF them are
employees of one kind or another. but their
hours of labor are very different from those
that prevail in America. The young French
clerk or bookkeeper would throw up his
position even though such an act meant
bread and water for years to come, If his
employer dared to import what are becom-
ing known on the continent as American
methods,
The Paris clerk wants to come down to
his work certainly not earlier than 9 o'clock
lit Is oftener 10 that finds him before his
deSk-and If his two hours at noon are
abridged by the smallest quarter hour
sulkiness and suriiness are the sequel. In
positions just a grade above his the in
cumbents stroll in at 10. lunch from noon
to any hour they please and never stay
later than o'clock at their offices. The
cafes are full at all hours of the day with
prosperous men whose conversation shows
them to be engaged in what even the blue
biooded Frenchman is beginning to mention
respectfully as ia commerce." These
''merchants'-every business man in Paris
is "merchant-ruminate over their af-
fairs In the shade of a cafe awning in
stead of behind the forbidding railing of a
private office.
Immaculate boots, spotless linen and high
ly polished top hat-an proclaim that the
men do not by any means give all their
time to business" Even in the large de-
partment stores such a thing as a clerk
working overtime or curtailing his midday
meal for any purpose whatsoever has never
been heard OF. In the store clerks and ac-
countants are obliged to attend to their
monotonous but never hurried duties. The
moment certain gong strikes they don
their glossy high hats. change their short
coats for the courtly length required on the
boulevards and Immediately seek their ia
vorite restaurant or cafe, where they be-
come gentlemen Of leisure, "rentiers," and
talk of political affairs or the last salon
with highly Judicial air and critical eve
as II there were not yards of ribbon and
silk waiting for their hands during the
afternoon.

Fooled the Crowd.
From Tit-Bits.


At the Lyceum the other evening, just
as the performance was about to close, two
wags put themselves in front of the door
way with umbrella and waited for the
outcorning crowd. Il was not raining at
all. but when the first persons of the au-
dience had reached the door and seen the
warning umbrella, scores of hands were
thrust out coats buttoned closey and
dresses taken UP. while a number remained
in the vestibule refusing to come out on ac-
count of the rain. The Joke" was COM
plete, and was much enjoyed by those upon
whom it was perpetrated after all was ex-

What the London "Speaker- Says
About the Philippine Situation.

rum the Lonuon Speaker.
But it must be noted that throughout
the present struggle the Filipinos have
put themselves in the wrong. We are
aware that American opponents of i'm
perialism" have declared that the Phil
ippine warfare is the undoing of the Con-
stitution Of the United States: that all
Just government rests upon the consent
of the governed, and that the Filipinos
are fighting in defense of their rights as
much as was George Washington. The
difficulty in accepting this view as ade-
quate to the facts lies in the environment
and character of Manila. That great city
full of foreign property and with many
foreign residents, is a center of European,
and indeed of British, interests. 1t could
not be left at the mercy of a revolutionary
army. controlled more or less by half-breed
Fflipinos and consisting of Malays of vari-
GUS degrees of culture from civilization
down to complete savagery, and probably
of Negritos and other races even less amen
able to civilization than MaIays.
If England interviewed and (for time)
took France with her. to put down a ma
tive government in Egypt in 1882 for the
protection of European interests in that
country as well as of the Suez canal IS
not America, which. through no fault Of
her own, has become responsible for the
good government Of the Philippines bound
to put down Aguinaldo as we put down
Arab Pasha? Commerce, in fact COM
pels the more advanced nations TO keep
some sort of order among the less advanc-
ed Hereafter it may be possible, though
we expect the date will be remote. TO give
the Filipinos considerable measure of To-
cal elf-government-we might say even to
grant them independence, il We could an
ticipate that European nations would ever
purge themselves OF their land-hunger and
protectionism.
But for the present il is absolutely neces-
sary to secure the peace and good order
of Manila and the maintenance of the COM
merce of the islands. If by threatening
this the Filipino government has made it
self impossible, the fault lies with its MEM
bers and not with the United States. For
the present the gallant troops from the
newer west are the mandatori9s of ciyiii-
zation and of Europe, carrying on war in
the interest Of peace. IL rests with the
government of the United States to see that
when their work is done peace and public
security shall be maintained, and that the
Malay inhabitants of the islands shall re-
ceive the benefits which British rule has
secured to their kinsmen in the native
states of the Malay peninsula in Sarawak.

If the blood in sufficient guam
tity leaves the body because of
a wound or hernorrhage of the
lungs the result is death.
Life depends on the blood
because the blood carries to ali
parts of the body the nutritive
elements necessary to sustain it.
What if these nutritive ele-
ments are absent?
What if they are supplanted
by poisonous, effete matter and
disease germs7
The first result is disease-par-
