France Outside of Paris,

To get a correct idea of the French
nation one must abandon Paris and
get out among the people of the prov
inces. Paris is a sinkhole of rotten
ness. but the people who dwell outside
that modern Gomorrah are sound and
upright and patriotic. living whole
some and useful lives. When you get
out in the rural districts. charming
sight is presented of beautifully cult
waited farms, each farm being as trim
and neat as a flower garden. There
is not a foot Of waste land to be seen.
The first thing that strikes stranger
is the profusion of fruit. Nowhere
can be seen more luscious pears,
peaches and grapes.-Washingto Post.

School began last Monday with a
good attendance. School this year
should be very successful one.
The directors have done all in their
power to put the school house i'll
shape and every thing in it is a mod
ell Of neatness. The putting in of
steam heat is one of the best things
possible for the school. 1t will give
an even heat all over the rooms,
gives a greater seating capacity
the cloak rooms and halls will be
warmer and the general effect will
be for easier and better discipline.
Most all of the rooms have been
newly kalsomined and present a
fresh aud tidy appearance. The
cistern has been put in tirst-class
shape and is all ready for work.
The school board is to be commend
ed on their work for they have not
only done it thoroughly but have
seen that the contractors have liv,
ed up to their promises.
