Louis about ten years ago, and the
boy came to me with his troubles.
" Never mind said ! 'l'll fix it up

sKILLFUL PUBLIC SPEAKER,
OFatOrical Presence Of Mind Added to
h Popularity of the AmerI-
can Ambassador.

A skillful public speaker knows how
to turn an interruption to advantage.
Hon. Joseph H. Choate, American am
bassador to Great Britain, is such a
speaker. Lately at the opening of a
free library ait Acton, England, Mr..
ChOate delivered an address.
The audience was mixed" and
among the rest a woman had come
who bore in her arms a baby, which
made its voice heard at the most in
convenient moments during the pro-
ceedings. Mr. Choate might have com.
planned, anG. incidentally urged that in
America it is not the custom to carry
small babies to listen to public ora
tions, but he did not.
The first interruption occurred early
in the speech. Mr.. Choate was saying:
'There is a special provision for chill
dren in your library, and 1 think when
men come to make a choice of a resi-
dence in Acton they will not forget
that fact" Here the baby screamed
in such a manner as to drown the
words of the speaker. There was some
disturbance, but Mr. hoate said:
Don't be disturbed by the baby.
Nobody knows better than my lord
bishop that out of the mouths of babes
and Stockings cometh WISDOM
Things went fairly we'll after this,
the baby appearing to be fattered by
the reference, until Mr.. Choate was
saying: ..
There is a book with which all Of
you" ...
Here the baby walled loudly.
Except, possibly, the baby-are ia
miliar," the ambassador went on. "It
is Ecclesiastes, and it says that of the
making of books there is no end"
These cheerful references to the
baby greatly pleased the audience and
added to the popularity which the
American ambassador had already at
tanned.

CHINESE GOOD MECHANICS.
Their ImmovabIe Objections to the
Use of Machinery Are Well
Founded,

The Chinese are possessed Of q great
deal of mechanical ability, but for
this they have not always been given
credit by western peoples. A number
OF the most useful Inventions" Of
civilization were known by the Chi-
nese thousands of years ago. Indeed,
in the matter of mechanical ability
and skill the Chinaman stands very
high. In the shops and factories that
are owned by foreigners the native
artisan compares favorabIy with the
workman of any other nation, espe-
cially in the use Of western tools,
methods and machinery. In a broader
sense, in the erection of bridges, con-
s]truction of temples, roads, canals
in the wide sense of the engineer
the Chinaman compares well with his
fellows in more civilized lands. Many
of his bridges are marvellous not only
for their beauty and accuracy Of con
struction, but in the difficulties over.
come and in the solidity of their foun-
dations. Here the Chinaman's char
acteristic of thoroughness expresses
itself. "The Chinaman builds for all
time; the rest of the world builds for
to-day"
But the Chinese + opposed to the
employment of machinery. This op-
position exists not only among the
presumably ignorant who labor for
their daily support, but among the
rich and highly educated as well. The
reason for this opposition is founded
upon social and economic conditions
unlike those in any other part of the
world.
The statement is as follows:
1. Every man in China is a worker,
and only by untiring industry is he
capable of feeding and clothing him
self and family.
2. All branches of industry are full,
There is never lack of labor nor OF
work to do, and so nicely adjusted
have become the economic conditions
through centuries of struggle that
practical content reigns among the
workers, and any upsetting of the
equilibrium of supply and demand
produces widespread distress.
The proposition: Introduce a ma
chine which shall by the supervision
of one man be able to do the work of
ten men.
The result is that nine men are
thrown out of that particular task.
There is no outlet for their industry
for the reason given in paragraph 2
of the statement. Therefore these
nine men must starve, steal or emf
CRATE. This is pretty nearly the cor
rect status of the working world in
China, and is the underlying reason
for the opposition to l~abor-saving ma
chinery. In this great empire a labor
saving tool or machine is an economic
curse, and will remain so until the
conditions are greatly modified

BAKING DAY IN FRANCE.
Il Comes Once a Month and the Mez
OF the Household Do All the
Hard Work.

Nowadays. the baker makes aboutau
the bread for city people, but in the
country bread baking is stil a weekly,
semiweekly or triweeNy task, accord
ing to the size and appetites of the
family. But in France baking day is
a monthly operation, and it is such a
task that a Frenchwoman has been
known to exeIaim, when told that in
America bread baking was woman's
work:
"How cruel you men are! I would
rather shoe horses"
The family baking, as a general
thing, is done by the masculine portion
Of a French peasant family, and a small
room is set apart for that special pur-
pose. When bread day comes around
the master Of ceremonies, together
with his assistant or assistants, retires
to the field Of labor, and the tug OF war
commences.
Into a huge trough is shoVeled guam
titles of -four, then water is poured
upon it, and after a thorough stirring
of the mixture with huge wooden.
spades the yeast is left to rise.
When the mass has assumed a dark
color and leathery consistency the Sc.
rious part Of the business begins. The
operators put on wooden sabots over
their shoes, jump in upon the dough
and begin kneading. They prance and
kick like war horses, exerting them
selves until no strength is left and the
perspiration pours oBthem in streams.
After this process the bread is put in
six-quart pans and baked in huge brick
ovens.
The bread is said to be palatable, but
the loaVes are as big as cartwheeIs, and
it sometimes has to be split With an
ak before eating.-Golden Days.
