APPROVES THE FRENCH NOTE.
That is, So Far as the Main Proposal tions are Concerned, But
 Some We Are Shy Of.

Washington, Oct. 11.-There is no ment heartily approves the main propositions laid down in the French note made public on the 5th instant, in regard to 9 common programme to be adopted by the powers as a basis for peace negotiations with China. As to the first of the proposed terms of settlement, the punishment of the principal culprits, this government has already declared itself in unmis- takable terms.
 As to the second, the maintenance of the inhibition against the import of arms, this government will not de- clare itself to the point of making it an absolute prerequisite to further negotiations.
 AS to third and fourth propositions, providing for equitable indemnities to states, societies and individuals, and the formation of a permanent guard for the legations in Pel<in, a cordial assent will be given.
 As to the fifth, which requires the dismantlement of the Taku fortifica- tions, this government is not dis posed to go quite to the length of making it an indispensable condition as does the French note.
 The sixth of the French conditions reads as follows:
 Military occupa ton of two or three points on the road from Tien Tsin to Pekin, which would thus be always open to the legations wishing to go to the sea or to forces proceed ing to Pekin from the sea-"
 This paragraph would seem to make it obligatory upon the powers to maintain garrisons at these points and while the conditions are such as to make, their present occupation nec- essary for the safety of the members of the legations and others desiring to travel between Pekin and Tien Tsin, this government is disposed to make the demand as a matter of right, to be exercised by any or all of the powers at will.

NOTES FROM THE PARIS FIX.
 Z POSITION.

"The Singer Manufacturing Com pany, of 149 Broadway, New York, show their usual American enterprise by having a very creditable exhibit, To- cated in Group XIII, Class %, at the Paris International Exposition, where they show to great advantage the cele- brated Singer Sewing-Machine which is used in every country on the globe, both for family use and for manufac- turing purposes. The writer was high ly pleased with this display and ob- served with much satisfaction that it was favorably commented upon by vis- itors generally.
 The Grand Prize was awarded by the International Jury to Singer Sewing Machines for superior excellence in de- sign, construction, efficiency and for remarkable development and adoption to every stitching process used in either the family or the factory.
 Only One Grand Prize for sewing ma chimes was awarded at Paris, and this distinctionof absolutely superior merit confirms the previous action of the In- ternational Jury at the Worlds Co., lumbian Exposition, in Chicago, where Singer machines received 54 distinct awards, being more than were re- ceived by all other kinds of sewing ma- chimes combined.
 Should it be possible that any of our readers are unfamiliar with the cele- brated Singer Machine. we would re- spectfully advise that they call at any of the Singer salesrooms which can be found in all cities and most towns ip the United States.'

MAKING BOTH ENDS MEET.
The Heroic Conduct of Poor But Proud Young Man in
 Critical Situation.

An amusing anecdote was recently told by well-known New Yorker about himself. At the time of the story he was in a small-salaried position ou the clerical force of the same railroad In which he is now one of the mighty,
 On my visiting list at that time were several charming young ladies. One of the most fascinating lived near certain fashionable theater. owed this young lady courtesy in re- turn for an invitation to a very pleas urable dance, so 1 asked her to go with me to the theater l mentioned. The in vitation was accepted, and I bought the seats.
 That done I found two dollars an0 some small change in my pockets. I was very absent minded in those days so when, during the afternoon, one of the boys asked me for loan of a two, did the natural thing-doye down in my pocket and gave it to him without thought of how I was to get along that evening.
 Later on l remembered my engage ment, and in turn tried to borrow some money, but could not find any There was an epidemic of hard times among my friends. Luckily, knew of flor ist who could be stood off, so I ordered him to deliver nice bunch of violets. That done l had only the supper to worry about-but with only 50 cents to buy it.
 After the play we were opposite a well-known oyster place, when the idea' came to me to propose an oyster stew. l knew she wasn't drinking girl, and, as the stews at that place were 20 cents each, there would be ten cents for the waiter.
 The stews were brought in while was giving her one of my best stories. She was absorbingly interested, and was seasoning the stew when the eli max of the story was reached. As stopped l saw dismayed little face opposite. Several fearful thoughts flashed through my brain-among them illness and cab with a not-to-be appeased cabby. But the truth: She had put sugar instead of salt into her stewl
 The only way out occurred to me in a flash.
 !" You'll allow me, won't you 9' I said, changing the stews. I haven't sea- soned mine. always use sugar, so I'll take yours.
 And l downed every drop, but was deathly sick that night"-F. B. Bag ley, in Woman's Home Companion.
