WILLING
To Grant Franchise For
Electric Line
As Soon as Consent Of the Property
Owners Is Obtained.

J. E. Whigam, of the Barberton
Council, said Thursday evening that
council was ready and willing to
grant franchise to the Barberton,
Doylestown and Massillon electric
railway company as soon as it had
secured the consent of right-of-way
from property owners in the village.
The company needs 4,400 feet in the
village. 1t has secured consent for
$500 feet, but property owners con-
trolling the remaining 800 feet will
not give their consent.
The railway company wants to en-
ter the village at Wooster ave. on the
West, continue to Baird ave. and on
that ave. to Ninth ST., where the Bar
berton terminus will be.
If this right-of-way along the
streets cannot be obtained, the COM
pany will then endeavor to secure
way by purchasing a route through
private property.

DRINKING IN FRANCE.
Growing Consumption OF Strong Spirits
on the Increase.

Growing Consumption OF Strong Spirits
on tho Increase.
I The income received by the state
last year in France from wine, beer.
cider and spirits shows the amount
consumed and indicates the drinking
habits OF different parts of the country.
says the London st. James Gazette.
While the total consumption has in
creased, beer seems to be gaining on
wine, and spirits on beer. The south
ern departments and the wine growing
districts still favor the national drink.
In Herault 277 liters of wine are drunk
by each inhabitant every year. The
Gironda comes next, with 210 liters. In
some of the northern departments, on
the other hand, wine is at discount.
In the Nord the annual consumption
Of beer is 252 liters head, and the
neighboring departments follow some
way behind. In ten southern depart
ments beer Is a quantite negligeable.
Generally speaking the beer-drinking
departments in the north are also at
the top Of the list for spirits. Each
Partisan drinks 202 liters Of wine and
seven liters OF spirits annually. Cider
drinking is going out OF fashion. The
average consumption per head for the
whole population is: Wine, eighty
nine liters; beer, tESenty-four liters;
cider. fourteen liters, and spirits, four
liters. Spirits bring most revenue-5
! shillings s pence per head, as compar-
ed witt shillings pence per head for
wine, pence per head for beer, and 3
pence per head for cider. The growing
consumption Of strong spirits and the
drunkenness which follows have led
the government to lower the octroi
duty on wine and increase the charge
on alcoholic liquors.

vlcToRIA's COSTLY BONNET.
Sent to Her by tho Natives of the
Navigator Islands.

Sent to Her by tho Natives of the
Navigator Islands.
Her majesty, Queen Victoria, who is
the dowdiest royal parsonage in Eu-
rope, has in her possession the most
expensive bonnet in the world, says
the Boston Globe. The natives Of the
Navigator islands were several years
ago anxious to make the queen pres
ent. There was formed a committee,
which debated long and patiently what
would be most appropriate. Jewels
were out Of the question. 1t would
cost a fortune to give one of the rich
est sovereigns in the world jewel that
she would appreciate. Even the most
gorgeous cloths were not advisable. In
dia had excelled them In weaving. The
gift should be suggestive of their part
Of the world and made by their people
But what?-that was the question.
Their women were skilled at plating
grass and making it into everything
from furniture, mating and mural dec
orations to gowns and hats, but this
would not be valuable enough. Aside
from the thoughtfulness of the gift it
must have some intrinsic worth. The
committee disagreed. One gentleman
resigned in despair. The new mem
Der injected some ginger into the crowd
and revived their tagging spirits. The
new member said emphatically that
even a queen had vanity enough to
want to possess the most expensive
bonnet in the world. One of their own
tortoise shells should be made into a
bonnet. 1t should be carved by their
own people and while it would not cost
them very dearly Victoria would find 1t
quite expensive If she went shopping
for it in Bond street An elaborate
bonnet was made of whole shell. The
workmanship was exquisite. Never
was tortoise she'll more artistically
carved. The shape Is like that Of the
salvation army lasses. In due time
the queen received the gift and wrote
the committee a note of thanks. The
queen found the material as well as the
shape little impracticable as far as
everyday wear goes, 30 she sent 1t to
the British museum. But the commit
tee, which feels that load Is off its
mind. draws mental pictures Of Queen
Victoria driving down "the lady's
mile" and nodding to her faithful SUBJ
jects and wearing the gift that caused
so many wrinkles in the gray matter
of its brain.

Old Egypt.

DR.. W. M. Petrie has now conclu-
sively proved that Egypt was inhab-
tied by men previous to 1000 B. G.
Excavations between Nagade and Bal
los show that some foreign race must
have driven out the early inhabitants
of the country, for in the thousands
of graves that have been opened by
DR.. Petrie not a single object of the
usual Egyptian type has been found.
DR.. Petrie thinks that this prehistoric
race in Egypt fourished about 5000
B. c., or possibly even earlier. The
people were probably of Libyan stock,
with some negro mixture, Judging
from the various objects discovered in
the course of excavation at Nagade.

AGUINALDO GROWING VORACIOUS

Once He Claimed the Tagals, But Now
He Wants the Entire Philippines.
Aguinaldo has broadened his claims,
or, at least, his agent at Washington,
Agoncillo, has done SO for him. In
another one of the series of communi-
cations which he has addressed to the
sale department, Aguinaldo asserts
h $ jurisdiction to all of the Philippine
group.
This is a notable extension, as here
tofore there was nothing to show that
he spoke for anything more than the
Tagals, and even though there may
have been an intimation that the Wis
cayas, or central group, was part OF
the Philippines confederation, this is
certainly the first time that any sug-
gestion has been made touching the

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. E. PAXTON, youngstown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth OF
her little girl:
"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:-It is with
pleasure that 1 add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others to avail themselves of your val
liable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. I had leucorrhea badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until l could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
AZ took medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. i was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when l read your advertisement in a
paper. 1 sent at once for a bottle of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-tbirds of
the bottle I felt so much better that
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
~ think 1t is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and MANY women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice Of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address is Lynn, Mass.

The Home and the Nation.

The home where the citizen is made

Family life strikes hard and swift at
the national life. Scandals in social
life are deadlier than scandals in pol

straight toward the ruin of the state
The path of revolution is blazed by
The unfaithful husbands; society col
lapses utterly when wives cease to be
true. The question of criminality
aside, the consequences of woman's
fall are infinitely great. Humanity
