A VICTOR HUGO MUSEUM.
Frenchman's Interesting Proposal
to Honor the Illustrious Author.

Frenchman's Interesting
to Honor the Il1ustri0us tho
An interesting proposal to create a
Victor Hugo museum was made to the
Paris municipal ouncil the other day
by NJ. Paul Meurice, who was for so
long associated with the illustrious
French author, says the London Stand
ard. In a letter addressed to the coun-
Gil M. Paul Meurice offers to give the
city Victor Hugo's house on the Place
des Vosges. "Great Britain" he wrote,
"has Shakespeare's house at Stratford-
on-Avon. Germany has Goethe's house
at Frankfort. In the name Of Victor
Hugo's grandchildren and in my own I
beg to offer to Paris, to give to France,
Victor Hugo's house. This house would
be a museum, the most precious object
of which would be the work drawn,
painted and sculptured by Victor Hugo
himself. Over 500 drawings and water
colors would be united. One Of the
rooms would be entirely decorated with
flowers and figures sculptured and
painted by him in the most charming
and most rare taste. To the personal
work Of the poet a collection of pic
lures and drawings inspired by his
poems could be added, with a library Of
his works and a collection Of engrav-
ings. Finally George and Jeanne would
reconstftute Victor Hugo's house, the
room of the Avenue d'Eylau, with the
bed upon which he died, his work table.
etc"
M. Meurice offers to place a sum of
$4,000 francs at the disposition Of the
city to carry out this work. He adds
that Victor Hugo's centenary will be
celebrated in February of next year,
when a monument to him will be inau-
gurated, and he thinks that Victor
Hugo's house might be opened on the
same day. The Coincide Franchise at
night would play Les B~urgraves,"
and, declares M. Meurice enthusiastic-
ally, it would be a historical and poet
ical day which would honor Victor
Hugo, Paris and France.

york and not for milking. Even with
this disadvantage, however, the milk
given is Of a good quality, and It will
compare ~favorably with that of some
sections of the United States.
The manufacture of cheese could be
carried on with profit at the present
time, as it is not necessary to keep the
milk ice cold. The climate is not at all
unfavorable for cheesemaking. and a
good quality of the article could be
made in any portion of the two islands.
At present all the cheese used Is i'm

tries generally as those from which
butter is imported. The United States
exports some cheese to the islands, but
its market could be greatly increased,
and b same conditions exist in regard
to it as to butter. The natives seemed
to be very fond of the cheese, and MI.
Pearson states that we can as easily
control the entire market in that prod
uct as we car In butter. However, the

A UNION.
New Experiment In the Kansas
Wheat Belt.

New Experiment In the Kansas
Wheat Belt.
The farmhands of the wheat belt
will hereafter work under a union
scale, writes the New York Posts
Wichita CKan.) correspondent. For
several weeks the imported harvest
hands have been attempting to form q
union of the farm laborers, and low
they have succeeded. There are al
ready 600 members of the union, and
more are coming into it every day. d.
w. Blaine, a merchant of Pratt, is the
founder Of the union. He has charge
of the importing of $1,000 harvest
hands this summer, and after he got a
good many of them to Wichita he
found them incapable of doing the
work. He also found a great many
men from the cities who were dissat-
is1ed with the wages of So per day
and tried to u strikes.
The new union will control the scale
of wages, set the number of hours to
be worked and define a standard Of
ability for entering the union. The
union scale is So per day for ten hours
labor. A man must cut Is acres Of
wheat in the forenoon and II in the
afternoon with three horses and an
improved binder.
The union is meeting with favor
among the farmers.

According to a Cairo correspondent
of the Pittsburg Dispatch. the directors
of the great French company enjoying
the practical monopoly Of the Egyptian
sugar and molasses industry have just
completed arrangements by which they
become concessionnaires for a number
of years of some 10000 acres of land in
the vicinity of their great works at
Nag-Hamadi, in upper Egypt. These
lands will be devoted principally to
the culture of beet root. The company
already possesses extensive fields of
canes. Egypt is now not only able to
cater for herself as far as sugar is con-
cerned. but has begun to successfully
compete with French and Austrian
sugar in the Levant markets.

The makers of butter on the farm

they fail signally in forming a true es-
innate of their product. Surrounded
by the aroma Of the butter and the
milk, as well as of the other Odors in
which the butter is made, it becomes
