In many OF the smaller hotels OF the
Latin quarter I'm Paris II Is no uncon-
mon occurrence for guests TO be waited
upon by young men who are actually
graduates of the French universities
and who resort 10 such domestic ena-
ployment in order to gain a living. I'm
like our own varsity students. French
undergraduates are often sons Of ex-
ceedingly poor people, who deny them
selves the necessities of life that their
sons may enjoy a university training.
The extraordinary spectacle il often
witnessed therefore of classical schol-
ar cleaning boots and scrubbing floors.
Some years ago young "factotum"
was encountered at n small town in
Normandy who entered into an elabo-
rate conversation with traveller con-
cerning the relative merits OF Greek
and Latin poetry. Further chat proved
that the servant in question had taken
high honors at the University of France
and that he was endeavoring to save
sufficient money from his tips" and
salary 10 complete his education and
become a barrister.
A Russian servant engaged in n large
private house in Moscow recently COM
posed a Greek ode after the style OF
Anacreon. The verses celebrated the
dignities and virtues of the family by
whom he was employed and was said 10
be a masterpiece OF style, composition
and grace.

now HE cor "THE LIVING,

Recently there died I'm England a witt
ty clergyman who owed the rich Twins
OF which he was long incumbent 10 a
lucky pun. He was tutor to tho son OF
a nobleman and had not long taken or
ders when he attended the funeral OF
the rector OF the parish in which the
nobleman's seat was situated.
The father Of his pupil was the patron
OF the living and was also present at
the funeral OF the deceased rector
There was a young clergyman present
also whose grief was so demonstrative
that the noble patron was much AFFECT
ed by the sight and asked IL the young
man was a son OF the deceased gentle
man.
"Oh. dear no, my lord No relation at
all" said the tutor.

man in a surprised tone.

at the time contemplating an extensive

their great undertakings in a spirit OF
love and hopefulness.

respect also. Twelve buildings are ar
ranged around a central quadrangle.
They are only one story In height and

more than three acres I'm this central

by large circular flower beds, across
which the shadows Of the pillared cor

The time will never come when lumber will
be a drug on the market again. Red cedar
shingles are shipped from Washington to
Cincinnati and are sold for $3.25 per bum

bring half that.
THE white pine forests in the Mississippi
pi Valley north Of the Missouri are being
cut out. 1t will not take more than six
years for the supply In Wisconsin and Min
nesota to be exhausted. Already many Of
the large lumber concerns have moved into
the yellow pine country in Arkansas. The
time Is soon coming when the majority Of
them will enter the Arkansas field. Then
there is Arizona and New Mexico, which
will be opened up for white pine. You may
not think so. but some of the finest white
pine in the country is being sawed out in
that locality. The trees are not tall. but
they are good. heavy logs and make elegant

solved the problem Of cheap fuel for the
cotton factories. I know several firms which
save thousands OF dollars by maintaining
sawmills which turn the refuse lumber over
to the cotton factories. This has served
to stimulate the cotton manufacturing bust
ness of the Southern States to a wonderful
extent. The lumber business and the cot
ton business go hand in hand.
There is more capital in the lumber bust

branch of industry. st. Louis Is the yellow

One Of the most difficult positions which
the Governor Of Missouri has to fill Is that
of oculist in charge Of the State Blind
School. He must make this appointment
without fear or favor and from a nonpar-
tisan standpoint. Governor Dockery recent
ly used his prerogative by following in the
footsteps Of his predecessor and reappoint-
ed DR.. ]. Harvey Moore, the eminent st.
Louis oculist. Nearly twenty years ago DIR.
Moore graduated at the Jefferson Medical
College of Philadelphia. which Is one of the
most noted institutions in America. Since
that time he has given UP his entire life
to the study OF the eye. Being an original
hinker and investigator. he has naturally
made some important additions to the
therapeutics Of the eye. One of the most
important Of these is a successful treat
ment for chronic graduated sore eyes,
which has always been the reproach of the
medical profession, as the treatment here
tofore has not only been very severe, but
unsuccessful. He is also we'll known as an
expert in the Strengthening of Cross Eyes.
We learned from the Doctor that he has
Strengthened over two thousands cases. The
modern method Of treating this serious de-
formity. without pain and without confln-
Ing the patient in a dark room or even
bandagtng the eye, and without ether or
chloroform. is a great improvement over
the Old barbarous method still employed

by many eye surgeons OF note. DR.. Moore
is a frequent contributor to medical peri
edicals. and has many requests for contri-
buttons from Eastern journals, which he
has not time to fill. Besides holding
the position Of oculist in charge
of the State Blind School, he is
also Professor Of Ophthalmology in the
American Medical College Of this city.
which is a time-hohored institution, taking
first rank in higher medical education. being
one of the first medical colleges in the
State to require a four years course for
graduation. A reporter called on DR.. Moore
and found him in his well-equipped apart
ments on the sixth floor Of the Century
building. and while DIR. Moore was very
busy with a number of patients he still
took time to state to TIN reporter that
the position in the School for the Blind
would in no way interfere with his private
practice. as he only visits the school after
his office hours are over. DR.. Moore is
not only a close student. but Is at the same
time q very hard worker. for outside Of
having patients coming from all over the
country he also has hundreds of physicians
throughout the West who rely upon his
Judgment In important and severe cases.
While DIR. Moore has been honored by the
appointment to this responsible position.
yet the State is to be congratulated upon
having the services Of a man of DR.. Moore's
professional attachments and personal
character.

signed his subscription paper had been
outspoken in opposing the fail
