There is an amazing disproportion be-
tween the amount of food and drink
consumed by Parisians, which may aid
in accounting for some national char
acteristics. Mr.. Haynes our consul in
Rouen, informs the American people
that, according to the annual report
concerning the food supply Of Paris for
1900, this is the Official average of what
a Partisan eats and drinks in one year:
Two hundred and forty-two eggs, 1861
pounds Of butter. 305 pounds of ready
cooked butchers meat, 1892 pounds
of fish, 1870 pounds of beef, 1888
pounds of pork and 27.S3 pounds of
fowl and game. This gives a daily av-
erage Of two-thirds of an egg, $50
grains of butter, SIP grains of ready
cooked butchers meat, $50 grains of
fish, 6.81 ounces of beef, LII ounces of
pork and 1.21 ounces of fowl and game.
The Partisan drinks in a year 1S9 gal
Ions of alcohol, S.07 gallons of beer, 1.4S
gallons of cider and 44.9 gallons of wine.
This gives daily average of 0.3S7 pint
of alcohol 0067 pint Of beer, 0.0334
pint of cider and 0.99 pint of wine.

Nobility.


1t is not that the mountains make the
men,
In solitary grandeur, but apart
The towering hilltops can but serve to
start
A sleeping nobleness to life again.
The great-souled natures find their
province when
They join the toilers in the street, the

Their honest, rugged sturdiness OF
heart
Kindling responsiveness unstirred till
then.
For such is not the narrow, binding
creed,
Nor struggle to excel at others cost
The pickering selfish strife to win VINO

On them the Pharisaic cult is lost:
Theirs is to seek and help the crying
need,
To stir in all the majesty Of man.

The Pope.s sense of Humon

His holiness the pope is much sought
after as a sitter by painters. whose
powers are not always equal to their
ambition. 1t is seldom. however, that
an artist meets with a refusal. Quite
recently one of these painters, having
finished his portrait, begged the pope
to honor him by inscribing upon II
some scriptural text. with his auto
graph. The pope looked obviously at
the picture. 1t was mediocre enough
and little like himself, but, unwilling
to disappoint the artist, he reflected a
moment, and then, adapting the famil.
lar line in st. Matthew to the peculiar
circumstances. he wrote as follows;
'pe not afraid. 1t Is LEO XIII"

squares, cut out of the wood.

Charles II both favored the enterprise
and encouraged 1t by promising re-
wards By the direction of Cromwell,
the House of Burgesses passed law
requiring the planting Of one mulberry
tree in every ten acres Of land in the
colony. There was also a law per-
hitting only counselors and heads Of
families to appear in gold lace and for
bidding everybody to dress IN silk
clothing unless the silk was grown in
Virginia. The experiment was fully

4 present to Charles II. These are the
largest shipments known In the rec
ords. Occasionally few pounds went
along with a cargo of tobacco. The
worms did not thrive. The industry
languished and was finally abandoned.
In 1880 it was revived, when a colony OF
French Huguenots came over, but the
only result was a lot of picturesque
old trees with knotted trunks and
gnarled branches.

RAILROAD TREspAss AND EJEcTnEyT.

Considerable interest has recently been
aroused by the actual ejectment Of a railroad
from property upon which 1t had trespassed. 1t
established in court that the road had
never acquired legal right of way across
certain farm. writ of ejectment was issued
The running Of trains was stopped. The rails
and crosstes were torn up and removed And
the railroad had to make detour around the
farm in question on other land on which the
right Of way had been secured.
1t may be. Of course that the owner of the
land was unduly obstreperous and that he might
better have made an arrangement under which
the railroad would continue TO traverse his farm
after paying for the right of way. But it is
equally true that the railroad was certainly in
error, and grave error. in occupying his land
without his consent; and in view of that fact It
is OF encouraging omen 10 in at least one
case great corporation made just as amenable
TO the law an individual is Such has not
always been the case with respect TO railroads
Trolley roads, in particular. have often grabbed
by stealth or by force. roads TO which they had
not the slightest shadow of title. Sometimes
the operations have been temporarily checked.
but in only very few cases have they been
undone. The railroads have trusted in the idea
that, however fragrant their fault II would in
some way be condoned or compromised
The ejectment TO which we have referred
should serve a useful purpose in dissipatng that
idea and in convincing corporati tons that they
must obey the law or, If they do not must suffer
the penalty, Just the same as the private and
most humble individual. IL that conviction IS
made to prevail there will be fewer cases of
trespass and therefore fewer occasions for eject
ment proceedings.

expected that the present Legislature will try
to compel our local streetcar lines to do much
more for the public than they are doing now,
and bills for cutting down rates of fare on land
have extremely dubious prospects of success.
1t may be an open question, however whether
some of the ferry companies should not be
obliged TO furnish a more satisfactory service
than that now provided Several of the North
River ferries are equipped with spacious and
convenient vessels. which make quick trips,
and the buildings and approaches of these lines
have been arranged a liberal scale. That
sort of ferriage helps the great railroads which
supply it, and is of incalculable benefit to New
Jersey in developing its cities and villages.
Staten Island and parts of Long Island are less
generously looked after with regard to ferry
facilities. For five cents passengers are taken
long journeys on land in swift cars which move
smoothly. For three cents on certain ferries the
transportation by water is slow and unpleasant.
Ferry reform on more than one East River
route. and also to the southwark, is an issue of
present moment. More boats and better boats
are sOrely needed on several lines.
