WHERE THE POOR ARE FED.
Description IF the Municipal KItch
ems at Nantes. France.

The system Of municipal kitchens IN
vogue in Nantes, France. is made the
subject of a special report Just received
at the State Department from Joseph I.
Britain, the American Consul at that
place Mr. Britain says the city has by
these Institutions provided itself with an
inexpensive method Of supplying food
and lodging for the destitute. He says
persons without means may present tick
cts at these institutions and get warm
substantial meal or a comfortable bed
Going into details the American Consul
says:
These beds are free to the destitute
for a period Of three nights. when they
are obliged to make room for others. The
sick are sent to the hospital During the
stay at the dormitory, each one is given
tE3 meal tickets each day These munic-
iyal kitchens are open from the 18th OF
October until the 18th Of April each year
but the dormitoTy is open during the en-
tire year. TWO meals are served each
day, the noon meal from 1890 a. IL. until
1870 P. ~, and the evening meal from )
until 4-3U p N With the exception of the
kitchen connected with the dormitory.
the meals are not exactly free but the
prices are so low that no one is obliged
TO suffer from hunger. Tickets emitting
the holder to one dish Of ANYTHING on
the bill OF fare are deposited at the bak-
cries. and tobacco shops throughout the
city. where they are purchased BY the
charitably inclined citizens. who in turn
hand them to the applicants for charity.
The following is the bill Of fare furn-
ished daily, together with the prices.
Beef soup, boiled beef beef stew. beef
with sauce, Goldfish, pork and cabbage.
beef q Ia ravigote, stewed tripes. eggs
a Ia tTipe-eacb plate 2 cents. Water
soup, beans, and rice are furnished at
I cent per plate When these kitchens
were first opened, the expense TO the city
was considerable, but during recent years
the deficit has been gradually reduced.
until last year It was only S1544 The
total expenses for the same period were
s., 264, and the receipts s., 720. There IS a
superintendent over all the establish
ment5, who receives salary of S46.25 per
month. In each kitchen there is a di-
rector at S115s per month. a cock at
SS.6S. and an assistant cook at S772
all being women. This does not include
wages paid in the dormitory.
The amount expended for fuel during
the past year was $1.061 for coal and
$3.50 for wood
The privilege of taking meals in these
kitchens is not restricted to the desti-
tain their meals there on account OF the
moderate prices. A moderately sUbstaa-
tiai meal may be obtained for cents.
For example, the meal may consist Of q
plate of meat, bowl of soup. and a
small leaf Of bread Wine is not served
at any of the kitchens

RICHES OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Optimistic Views Of Lieut. Gillespie Of
Missouri

Missouri
From the Washington Post
ME. c. Gillespie Of Missouri. lately a
lieutenant IN the volunteer service OF
the United States. who has seen active
service in Cuba and the Philippines. is
AZ the Ebbitt House, and is one OF the
best informed and most interesting
takers on our new possessions in the
East who has visited Washington In
recent months. Mr. Gillespie knows
the Philippines as the Fiiipfnos know
IT, He organized troop OF native
cavalry and saw service with his COM
mand in every part Of the Islands
Inside OF two years there will be a
food OF immigration TO the Philippines
which will rival or surpass that of
1s4s to California" he said. Not
per cent of the soldiers or their off,
GERS who have been fighting in the
Philippines for three years past have
ar idea OF their richness When the
fact that there are immense gold de-
posits in many parts of the islands is
made known there will ne a rush that
will make the Creole excitement of
recent years seem insignificant. ane
people who have been out there have
not taken the trouble to learn any
thing about the Philippines. l know
of mountain ten miles across at its
base. between the Rio Grande river
and the railroad from Tagupan to Ma
Mia. which has millions of dollars
worth of timber on its summit and
sides. Rosewood. mahogany. ebony
and other trees equally yaluaoie. many
OF them 6 feet in diameter. grow very
thickly upon it. This lumber could be
cut and shot down the river or rail-
road. cut up there and shipped to the
United States at an immense profit.
The Spooner bill has dealt great
blow to the early arrivals who went to
the Philippines for speculative pur-
poses. Its provision which prohibits
the sale of timber or mineral lands
until civil government has been es-
tablished has cut OF their enterprise.
THE instruction was over months
ago The people who read that Ameri
can officers have been killed in an am
bush do not realize that it took years
to exterminate in this country the
Younger and James gangs which sur
vived the civil war. The bands now
ambushing Americans in the Philip
pines are guerrillas. pure and simple
The natives are being rapidly drawn to
the Americans. One of the greatest
object lessons we have given them is
the army court martials. They have
seen that a private in the ranks re-
ceives as much consideration as
general before such tribunal. They
have not been accustomed to such
things. and when ley see them they
are convinced that the Americans are
honest in their intentions.
THE Filipino is naturally intelligent.
They are being educated rapidly by
the very excellent system which has
been established. Until the Ameri
cans came the country was priest-rid-
den. No Filipino was educated unless

LIGHTING SUNLESS ROOMS.
Newly Patented coutrivsnces for That
Purpose.

From the Saturday Evening Post
In these days when land in great
towns is so valuable that builders de-
velop an abnormal growth skywards,
the problem of lighting the lower story
and basement rooms becomes OF great
importance. To notable extent 1t has
been solved by means OF ingenious
refIectors. arrangements of pFisms be-
ing commonly adopted for the purpose.
so that every available ray OF sun
shine is utilized Into narrow court
sixteen stories deep. for example. falls
a stream of sunlight, which IS treated
exactly as il il were cataract OF wrate
or other fluid. for it is diverted by
glass refractors in such manner as
to convey it far into the interior OF
the structures on either side
A newly patented eontriyance en-
ploys a large plane mirror on top
of high building in such manner
that the glass. by clockwork mechan-
ism. is made to revolve slowly and TO
face the sun at all hours of the day.
The light which it reflects is thrown
downward into a vertical tube lined
with mirrors. which extends. If de-
sired. TO the basement. one hundred
feet or more below. Arriving in the
basement, the blaze of sunshine Is
concentrated within great globe OF
ground glass. which is thus made in
tensely luminous. throwing out
light of astonishing brilliancy.
Another new invention of the kind
utilizes not sunshine. but very pow
erful electric light. the rays from
which are carried through mirror
lined tubes to many rooms in differ
ent parts of the building. thus making
it unnecessary TO provide separate
lights for each apartment. Here
again is illustrated the idea of en-
ploying light as il it were fluid.
and distributing it by off-eurrents to
quarters where it is required. Prob
ably such methods of indirect illu-
mination have been carried further IN
Chicago than anywhere else In the
country. some of the feats accomplish
ed in that city. in the lighting of bull
dings. being truly marvellous.
Thanks to recent inventions OF this
sort. it has become practicable to use
for business purposes spaces beneath
sidewalks. which until lately were
hardly available for any practical
purpose. The owner of an up-to-date
building nowadays under-mines the
pavement in front and actually uti-
Lies it as a skylight, the flags being
upheld by iron Orders. between which
are arrangements of glass prisms
that diffract and diffuse the sum
shine in such way that the basement
rooms have ample illumination for
CARRYING on any sort of industrial EN-
ployment.
Most people have seen the prism
glass for windows. which is put into
sashes like ordinary panes. giving
brightness TO many an interior that
would otherwise be gloomy In fact
| nowadays there is hardly any base
ment. or even cellar. that may not
be flooded with sunlight by the use
of mechanical contrivances of the
kind.

Sluicine Proposition.

W. J. Lester x Co.,, of FredOnia, New York, recently purchased eight placer claims from George H. Swartz, in the Big Bug district. and by loca. tiOn and otherwise have secured thirty other claims, making total of thirty eight claims in all. The property is located on the mesa northeast of the Big Bug shelter. Mir. Swartz, who is one of the most practical placer miners in this section, has worked the claims owned by him for eight years by plow- ing up the gravel and hauling it by wagon to Big Bug creek and there sluicing it out. In this way he has made excellent wages, as the gravel has run all the way from 75 cents to $7 per load. It is the purpose of the pur- chasers to install steam shovel with an amalgamatOr attached on the ground, and then by means of water power placed on Big Bug creek pump the water upon the mesa to a reservoir to be built there for use in washing the gravel. The water will be used over and over again.-Journal-Miner.

Educate the President.

President McKinley's trip to the Pacific coast may result in greater benefit to the arid west than may be supposed at first thought.
 No one in crossing the Great Ameri- can Desert has been more impressed than by the sight of the boundless area of gray sand, broken here and there, as if through magic, by an ex- panse of green and Towering vegeta- tion. This is the case in many places where dlstict lines can be seen divid- ing the irrigated land from the unir- rigated. It is verify a realizatiun of that old saying, Ito make the desert blossom us the rOse."
 Will the presidential party in steam ing through this wonderful country cross it with eyes closed or will they see the advantages of a system of irri- gation which will add untold wealth, population and industry to this ma. tiOn? It remains for the people of the west to unite, not only in a welcome to the president and his party, but to also, at every turn and chance, bring their attention to the wonderful influ- ence of water upon the arid country.
