In the provinces of France a large
proportion of the work in the Vine
yards and gardens is performed by
women young and old. 1t is no I'M
common thing to see a woman we'll
up in years with large hoe at work
in the fields, and apparently as hardy
as Narrowing to the healthy out
door life. In the markets the major
ity of the sellers are women, and
many of them have energy and enter
prise that leave the men in the back
ground. In Paris large proportion
of the street cleaners and street
swe epers are woman-and much of
the trade of bakeries, cafes and shops
is controlled by representatives of the
gentler sex. The lady in the donkey
cart is one of many French women
who are in business on their own ac-
count. Her business is to sell bread
principally in long loaves-and cakes,
which she delivers in person, at the
homes of patrons in one of the sub
urbs of Paris. She is very Industrious
and constantly on the lookout to in
crease and maintain trade in bread
stuffs.

THE RELATION OF THE STATE TO
THE PROHIBITORY LAW.

The following is an extract from an
address delivered by Judge Thompson
in Burlington, VT, in April, 1899:
I am not here to deliver temper
ance lecture from a moral standpoint
except as affected by the existing law.
There has been much misapprehen-
sion as to the prohibitory law Of YER
mont. This law has been greatly
nullified by rum papers outside and
inside the state. 1t is a misnomer to
call the law of Vermont prohibitory
law. 1t provides for the election of a
commissioner, who should appoint
LIQUOR agent for each town and makes
other sales of the commodity illegal.
1t provides that the letting of build
ings for the sale of liquor should be
criminal offence. 1t makes every
place where liquor is sold or kept for
sale a common nuisance which may be
abated. 1t makes intoxication
crime. They say this is not good
law in that it invades individual
rights. It invades no individual
rights Every man comes under the
common law in that he must SO gov
ern himself as not to interfere with
his neighbor. This is fundamental

Lives on the moor.
She s'ecps in a tent
With n curtaincd door
Low is her dwelling
And hard her bed.
Lat the stars at night
Are Il crown for her head.
Rough is her greeting
From all that's human,
But the morning smiles
At the gypsy woman.
The wind is her harper,
And brings from ia'
His SONGS OF wOoing
And SHOUTS OF war.
On the printed page
She need never look.
The changing sky
Is hex Holy Book.
She knows MOI the call
OF church bells ringing
Tho falling rain
Mikes swcetcr singing.
And the voice Of the lark
At morn and even
Is a key to open
