seven. Seven knives a year lost and
no knives found. Wonder where they
all go?"
The hardware man was unable to
enlighten his customer. and he left
the store brooding over the problem
During the next few days he ques-
toned 20 friends. Only six of them
had lever found knife. and all Of them
had lost dozens of them.
This set the searcher for the truth
to thinking harder than ever. The
knives certainly did not go up in Va
por, and neither did they become dis
integrated and return to atoms. They
must, then. be swallowed by the earth.
Sooner or later the ground must be-
come full of knives. Then the man
who was now wild for truth took his
pencil and figured:
boy from five to ten years of age
loses average of ten knives a year, to-
tai of 50 knives; IS to 20 years Qess
eareless), loses average of Eve knives
year, total of 25 knives; from then
on until death, say (put it smalD. he
loses two knives a year. which. If the
man lives to be 40 years of age. means
10 more knives lost. or a grand total Of
lis knives lost. All this time. perhaps.
he has found five knives. which leaves
the total at no."
Then the man with the pencil, Just
to be sure that his estimate was not
cut his figures in two and
had for a remainder So knives lost in
an average lifetime, with no knives
found. This was not considering the
girls and their lost penknives.
So the man with the pencil, whose
brain was buzzing and who didn't dare
carry his calculations any farther;
eontented himself with the conclusion
that the time is bound to come when

HOME LIFE IN FRANCE
Parents Are Greatly HOnored bF
Their Children and Family
Feeling Il Deep.

To understand the true nature OF
French home life one must see its place
In the national life and its relations to
society. There is fact of transcend
ent Importance that must be always
borne in mind in trying to grasp the
characteristics of the French people.
It is that there is a difference between
the aims, aspirations and ideals that
run through the activities and institu-
tions of France and those of the United
States.
American society and Americas in
stItutions are those of a pushing, enter
prising and conquering people; the
French are those Of a nation which
has found its place In the world, but
kept within certain geographical Gmi-
tations, has accumulated wealth-or
what for IL takes the place Of wealth.
and blessings Of civilization, in them
selves sufficient for happiness. The
Americans are men who most value en-
ergy, power, endurance and determine
ton Of purpose; the French, ease, de-
termined duties, an ornamental culture,
social order and a considerable social
hierarchy. The land of Washington de-
yelops the 's'oated man, France the So
cial body The former represents a na-
tion OF Individuals living in families,
and the other a nation of families with
individuals in hem. The one is display
ing unparalleled power in making for
barrafF a n r-fl lfv~f.rn and tbo o.L
increase and distr ute TO the whole
the fruits Of civilization that it has.
The one is free from burdensome past,
and the other has its roots in the
depths of centuries, Tie one is thor.
oughly competitive = RS activities. the
other accumulative and dis ribut!ve.
The Americans wish meI whc can
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1900-03-01

fight their own individual DatIIes; the
French, men linked by indissoluble ties
to those who preceded them and to
those who follow, continuing family ira
ditions. Hence domestic life in France
must of necessity be very different from
that of the United States. In the narrow
compass of this article, will bring out
only the best and the most typical traits
of normal French life.
This much may be fearlessly asserted
that the position of the father in
France is still paramount.
The authority of the father Is recog-
nized even after the marriage of the
son or daughter, until very late in life,
but with 1t go dowries and financial
help, which not infrequenrfy entail
great sacrifices on the part of the pa
rents. French fathers, as a whole, are
diligent in looking after the education
OF their children. Few there are who
will not visit the teachers Of their loved
ones and be careful as TO the associates
in schools. On birthdays, Easter, New
Years day, or when be travels, the
French father is the perfection Of
thoughtfulness-no one is forgotten.
When his children are baptized or take
their first communion, whatever his be-
lief, he is present. When possible he
will lunch with his family at noon, and
at night he reigns supreme at table
around which everybody talks at once.
Attentions to his family do not decrease
much with time. The ideal Of a buai-
ness man is to retire from active life at
80, aud thenceforth much Of his time is
devoted to his children, married or
single.

The place Of the mother Is also one
Of great consideration, though one Of
Pauline subordination TO her husband.
Ifheis in business. she is thoroughly ac-
quainted with his affairs. and in large
number of cases she is associated with
him in the business management. This
was especially true OF the wife of the
founder Of that well-knOwn commercial
Institution of Paris, the Bon Marche.
AT the death of her husband the enter
prise is often carried on by the widow.
The wife is thus associated, as all the
members of the family are. not in the
struggle for the acquisition of wealth.
but for existence.
All the children until their marriage
bring all their earnings TO the common
family purse, and if one member of the
family is married a united effort win
be made to provide the best possible
dowry.-Prof. Jean C. BRAGG,

Wsathers and AT All Seasons
Variety Of lis Drinks.

"0ne of the interesting Developments
of the last 2S years has been that Of the
soda fountain" says a man WHO has
been familiar with The course of the
business. Root beer was the first pop
ular beverage, and different people
made it from different formulas, and
some had very good receipts. Then
there was sarsapaiilla--both sold In
the bottle mostly. Then they began
TO get small fountains, with lemon and
vanilla sirups. Following these came
the fruit sirups-pineapple, raspberry,
and then the coffee and chocolate Sc
ries.
"As the list began TO increase, the
original fountains, which had only one
section with four sirups, were enlarged,
and now there are six and eight sec
tions, with IL sirups in a section. The
combination of sirups followed-alm-
mond, lemon, apricot, peach and ma
pie creams and the various adjuncts
now TO be had at soda fountain
grape juice clam bosilloD, hot beef tea,
Russian tea, egg phosphate, calisaya
and cocoa wine.
"Abcut IS years ago the business Of
serving soda not began. aud bot drinks
can now he had throughout the sold
months. 1t is undoubtedly vely good
for people, warns them UP, and helps
them TO resist the cold. especially If
they take something that is Dourish-
ing, Ike bouilIon or hot clam broth.
The use of all these things has q tend
ency TO promote temperance, for they
are good, easy tp get, and take the place
of other things.
soda fountains are so largely patron
lied now that a large one in a good
neighborbood win bring in from $3.50
TO $3.50 day. There is big increase of
business IN the large establishments,
because snBll stores cannot afford 10
use the fruit sirups. The essences are
injurious, and people do not Ike sods
in which they are to be found.
"Tbere is big list OF them, about as
large as It viii be, for there is more of
a tendency TO reduce than TO enlarge
