The House prob1em In Paris.

The housing problem is one that for
years has lain heavily on those with
small incomes in Paris.
Every day the French capital be-
comes more and more impossible as a
residence for poor people and, while
handsome houses grow more numerous,
reasonable lodgings become scarcer.
The poor no longer find it easy to Sc
cure apartments at Il modest rental in
the city unless they are willing to be
confined in barracklike tenements on
the sixth or even seventh story or shut
off in courtyard where they get very
little daylight and hardly ever see the
sun
The workingman has therefore been
obliged to migrate to the outskirts of
the city. and whole suburbs. like La
Villetta on one side of Paris and Gre
nellie on the other side, are now inhab-
tied exclusively by industrial colonies.
Every exhibition in Paris has
brought a rise in rents all around, and
today the landlords dues are higher
than ever. Less accommodation is
available in Paris for given rental
than in London. and the sanitary con-
ditions are generally inferior.
The better housing of the working
classes. however. is now beginning
to attract the attention of reformers,
and when the extension of the city
eventually takes place perhaps some
improvement will be effected.-Paris

A Rationale Trap.

Rattlesnakes were the most danger
ous wild animals with which the early
Rettlers of New Jersey had to contend.
They We're very numerous. and their
bite. if not treated properly at once,
was generally fatal. In Stories From
American History f. r. Stockton
cites an incident which gives an idea
Of the abundance of rattlers in the new
colony:
In a quarry from which the work
men were engaged in getting out stone
for the foundations of Princeton col
lege wide crack in the rocks was dis
covered which led downward to a large
cavity, and in this cave We're found
about 20 bushels Of rattlesnake bones.
There was no reason to believe that
this was Il snake cemetery, to which
the creatures retired when they sup
posed they We're approaching the end
CT their days, but it was, without
doubt. Il great rattlesnake trap.
The narrow. winding passage lead
ing to it must have been very attract
i've to snake seeking retired quarters
in which to take its long winter nap.
Although the cave at the bottom of the
great crack was easy enough to get
into, it was so arranged that it was
difficult, if not impossible. for a snake
to get out of. especially in the spring,
when these creatures are very thin
and weak, having been nourished all
winter by their own fat.
Thus year after year the rattlesnakes
must have gone down into that cavity
without knowing that they could never
get out again.

We clip the following from the Daily
States of August Goth: "Friends of Miss
Evelyn A. Waldo, who has a national
reputation in kindergarten work, while
regretting to lose her, will be pleased to
hear that that accomplished lady has &C.
copied an offer to take charge of a
kindergarten school that is to be estab-
lished in Franklin, La. Miss Waldo
leaves on Sunday to assume charge Of
her new position.
Miss Waldo has for number of years
been at the head of the kindergarten
branch of the New Orleans public school
system, and under her efficient and in
telligent direction it has attained the
highest state of efficiency and public
usefulness. Unfortunately for the
school. however, Miss Waldo about two
months ago felt impelled to tender her
resignation as principal, since which
time she has been carried on the unas-
signed list of the public schools. 1t has
been hoped by those familiar with the
excellence of her work that Miss Waldo
would be induced TO resume her place at
the head of the local kindergarten work.
Her acceptance of the tender from Frank.
lin has, however, made the realization
OF the hope apparently impossible.

self for kindergarten work Miss Waldo
has made number of trips North, East
and West, and has studied the methods
in vogue in those sections. For num-
Der of years she has been regular at.

Representative William Allen Of
Ohio more generally know as ''Oil

democracy on the floor of the house,
that is good enough to be pasted in
The hat OF every democrat, and is as
timely as though it had been given
Only yesterday, instead Of years ago.
Said Mr.. Allen: "Democracy is SEN
timent not be to appalled,, corrupted
or compromised; it knows no base
uess; it covers before danger; it op-
presses no weakness. 1t is the sole
conservator of liberty, labor, and
property. 1t is the sentiment OF
equal rights, of equal obligations
the very spirit of liberty itself invad-
ing the land"
