A belief which. If not extraordinary.
Is entirely erroneous. appears to be
generally held that n war with France,
If it were unfortunately to come,
would be OF short duration. Various
persons with more or less authority
have put the period in which we are
to knock out our ancient enemy and
whilom ally into n cooked hat mt from
seven days to seven weeks. n very few
acknowledging that it might run into
as many .nonths. We know of moth
ing to Justify such optimism. but very
much to lead us to directly opposite
opinion: and we conceive 1t perfectly
possible to be Of this opinion and yet
to make no question OF the ultimate
result of such lamcntable conflict
We feel that to attempt to draw anv
analogy from the results OF recent na-
val wars would be only to mislcad
ourselves. There Is no comparison
at all between the relative strength
of France and this country and that
Of China and Japan. or Spain and the
United States. If the British public
imagines that French naval officers
will prove themselves to he aS def.
cicnt in stratcgical and tactical skill
as the officers Of China and Spain have
demonstrated themselves to he. it is
preparing itself for n rude awakening

Guinen Pira nnd Rnta.

The hundreds of people who see queer little animals called guinea pigs in the show windows of bird stores know that they are of any use except for pets. It is said that rats will not stay in the same building with guinea pigs and for that reason they are in great demand by chicken raisers. who usually suffer by having peeps" carried off by rodents. Besides this the animals cost absolutely nothing to keep, as they will eat anything and everything and seem to thrive on nothing but grass. They are very prolific. One pair will rear dozen young every year.

FRAUD ON THE KENNEBEc.
Shippers Who Reaped Harvests With Goods
 Not in the Manifest.

The recent discovery of finding goods on American fishing vessels not down on the manifest calls to mind an incl dent that happened years ago. the truth of which the writer and some oth- CTS as well can vouch. The fact that smuggling has been continually going on for years can best be illustrated by the arrival of a fishing schooner at the mouth of the Kennebec with wines and liquors from St. Pierre, N. F. The skipper gave out that fishing was a failure and the craft was hauled into a secluded cove and apparently aban- doned. Not so the cargo, for the crew proceeded up the river, where they succeeded in hiring an old decked scow. Returning at night the cargo was transferred to the scow and se- curely hid beneath the deck, when suddenly afterward the craft and crew conceived the idea of going up river on an ceiling trip. The necessary bar rels, with all other equipments neces- sary to a successful trip were put aboard, and the scow, piled high with eel traps, sailed away for Gardiner, where she arrived later and tied up at Clarks wharf in then Pittston. Public curiosity was aroused by the novelty of this new business, and numerous visitors watched the men as they placed and pulled their eel pots here and there, while the captain explained the process and the amount of money there was in the business. After few weeks of this desultory kind of fishing the craft sailed away, the crew largely enriched by this perhaps original man. ner of selling high grade of liquor to parties in the secret, who were all men of distinction and good judges of what they bought frequently in large quan- titles Perhaps it is needless to say that the cells were never shipped, but returned to their natural element at a proper season. Most of the men who sought and did enrich themselves in this case I have mentioned are now dead. but the system still remains, and it is indeed remarkable the customs of fcers have SO long been ignorant of the fact.

 'In my hilarious appreciation I was more Of an entertainment than they had on the stage, especially as I was utterly oblivious to the fact that did not look like any one else in the au- dienee. Toward the end a huge fellow came out, tossed cannon balls in the air, and held men out at arms length, and lifted heavy weigths.

But one old man told me to go in. It was a tough job, but I finally threw the giant almost through the floor with a hip- lock. There was a little hesitancy about giving me the $10, but the crowd shouted till I got it. Then the old man took me home with him, and in week l had charge of all the teams in his lumber camps. In time I became a partner. and he cleared the way to make me rich. That was really match for million"

The Native Couldn't Understand What Sort
 of Animals They Were.


 "A year or so ago." said visitor from St. Louis, T made tour of the Ozarks in Southern Missouri with party of Northern friends. One after aoon, in company with a bright young girl from Iowa, made the round of number of native cabins near Nam moth Spring, just across the line in Arkansas. My companion wanted to see bit of life of the squatters, if they may be called by that name, and we were at our wits end to devise some excuse for our visit to the houses. We concluded that nothing would be better than to ask for drink of water. This We did at each place. We unwisely frank in the doorways or just outside, instead of stepping into the cabin, and soon the attention of pretty nearly all the mountaineers and their large fami- lies was attracted At the seventh house, after we had secured the usual tomato can full of delightful spring wa :er, the man observed:
 Say, young feller, eff 1t don't make 10 diffedence, I'd like ter ask ques- .ion.'
 All right said I, what is it?'

GOOD POSITIONS

And a Good Business Education
Something Worth Considering.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an advertisement of Draughon's Prac
teal Business Colleges. These famous
schools are located at Nashville, Tenn,
Texarkana, Tex, and Galveston, Tex.
They guarantee positions under certain
and reasonable conditions, and they ex-
pend more money securing positions
for their graduates than almost any
one Of the business colleges in the
South takes in as tuition. They are
the best patronized schools of the kind
in the South. Good board and lodging
may be secured at either place for ten
dollars per month.
The course of instruction in book
keeping given at Prof. Draughton's
colleges is considered by business men
to be the best, and they substantiate
their statements by applying to his col
leges almost daily for Office help.
Any worthy person, lady or gentle
man, can secure a scholarship, free, in
one of these schools by doing a little
work at his or her home. Write for
particulars.
HOME. STUDY.
Prof. Draughton has prepared books
on bookkeeping, penmanship and
shorthand, especially suited for home
study. Hundreds of persons holding
good positions owe their success to his
books.
If you desire to take the "Home
Study Course" write for price list of

it not be worth the trouble?
"A low grade of oil will smoke the
lamp chimneys and is liable to explode
and burn the house down. A cheap
soda or baking powder will make the
biscuits yellow and give the whole
family dyspepsia.
To buy both milk and butter when
one could just as we'll keep a cow is
''poor economy" So also is burning
fat pine wood which chOkes the stove
with SCOT and burns the bread.
Leaning the broom in corner Of
the kitchen will soon bend it out Of
shape, and no one can sweep we'll with
it, which soon occasions the purchase
of new one.
Perhaps the best and only remedy
for these leaks of the kitchen is
thOughtfulness.
Take notice which of two grades of
any article is best and cheapest. Com
pare baking powders, sugar, aavoring
extracts, soaps, etc.
When comparing pearline with soap
the former proves more economical,
persist in using it, and in the same
way try all such things.
Perhaps no greater leak can be
found than the use of white -four for
bread. In many families NO other kind
is ever eaten. It is not economical be-
cause lacking in nutrition and many
other things, really unnecessary foods,
must be prepared and eaten to supply
the deficiency.
In place of white -four one should
eat Franklin flour of the entire
wheat. Any family by using one bar
rel only of the latter can realize the
difference.
Many dyspeptics are cured by the
adoption of the better flour and doc
tors bills are certainly big leaks which
if avoided allow the bread winner to
lay by something for rainy day.

Leaks About the Kitchen.

The old adage that "a woman can
throw out of the kitchen window With
a spoon faster than a man can bring

rate many housekeepers are wasteful
and are never aware of the fact They
would be surprised if they were told
that they are.
Almost every one knows that fine
sugar is more economical than a coarse
grade. A small item perhaps, so small
a saving that few would trouble about
the difference. Perhaps only 4 dollar
or two a year might be saved by al
ways buying the best, but suppose one

A HELPFUL CORNER.
Millinery Notes.

coming from the skilled HugeiS ludl
manufactured them are so pretty that
a description is deserving a column In
any of our papers owning home de-
partment. Cleansing and pressing pre-
viously given over to the bleachery is
now being done at home, and by using
a hot suds of pearline and stiff
brush to remove all dust from the crew
ices, a straw hat may be most success
fully cleaned and the so cents saved.
After the straw is rinsed, it should be
dripped quite dry, then pressed; the
brim is easily managed but the crown
needs diplomacy, or it will look "home-
made" which every woman wishes to
avoid, but if a. bowl or tin pail whose
shape is similar to the crown is used
in pressing, good results will be had,
and judicious wiring will give the fin
fishing touch; for instance, a hat Of no
particular shape, but Of medium brim
may be pressed and wired to tilt over
the face and curve upward and out
ward at the sides, one of the most
popular shapes Of the season. Flowers
that have become mussed may be
'picked out" the petals and leaves
placed freshly, and when it is neces-
sary rewired, and sometimes the adj
dition of a little fresh foliage will do
wonders for the old flowers. Ribbons,
lace chiffon and many other thin
stuffs are quickly cleansed by dipping
them in gasoline; the odor is soon re-
moved by hanging the articles in the
open air.
One should remember that this is
very cOmbustible and never use it in
a room having a fire or lighted lamp.
Ostrich tips may be cleansed in the
same way, dipping them in the gaso-
line, then drawing them between the
thumb and forefnger and continuing
until they are clean; thin tips may be
fastened together to make one thick
one, curled and rewired, then bent as
one desires after which they will look
quite fresh.
The fancy straw braid which now
comes in all colors, all widths from
tiny headings to web-weaves) and
many pieces is a wonderful help in
hard times, for a very little serves to
successfully hide the ravages of the
old hat; it may be used when the top
of the brim to give a higher crown,
may be used to enlarge a brim, or re-
place a worn outer row, may be used
to widen ribbon, a width being Sewed
to one side of wide ribbon, for large
bows, twisting, etc., the headings are
effectively disposed upon tulle and
other thin stuffs, in knots and loops.
while the web-weaves makes very styl-
ish tam-crOWns, or can be fashioned
into toques entire, and straw braids
range from 3 cents yard up to 81 to
suit all purses.
IeghOrn or rice straw hats cleansed
in the manner above described are
very pretty when trimmed with thin
stuffs, chiffon, NULL mousseline de
sole or any of the various nets. TINY
straw spangles come to scatter over
nets for odd effects, while two shades
of tulle are often used, black over pink
or yellow being favorite combinations.
white over pink or blue, and lavender
