prehend. Having perhaps his country
women in mind, he submits that the
Holmes definition of an Indian would n
a woman just as we'll: "A few instincts
on legs fourishing a tomahawk." Il
would not fit a Frenehwoman at all

the latter rather than the former IL she
is single, the former rather than the lat
ter If she is married. There is some-
ting exceedingly naive in the conversa-
ton Of a young French girl 1t is the
atmosphere Of the cloister in which she
has been educated coloring and subduing
the natural alertness with which she
looks out on life. Innocence and spright-
Illness characterize views that are COM
pletely detached from any comprehension
of the world as it is and sometimes are
extremely romantic.
The letters of young French girls share
the qualities that have given their moth
ers the reputation of being the most ac-
complished of all letter-writers, which
is to say the most civilized and intel
1ectual Of all people. The French girl
has so many ideas and she has a
confidence in herself that encourages her
to express herself in tongues which she
has not quite mastered. I remember the
letter received by an English friend from
a demure French maiden who had gone
to watering place for the summer. She
said the sea air had agreed with her and
she had become 'vivacious and turbu-
lent" whatever that might be.
1t is an old story that the women OF
France know how to dress, and the broad
boulevard and the little shopping streets
repeat it with as unmlstakable an accent
as the fashionable restaurants or the OPP
era. The impress of a taste that is almost
a genius is seen subtly disclosed in the
tilt of hat the hang of skirt the cut
of a bodice French women dress almost
unobtrusively, and sometimes one thinks
it is the elegance Of their carriage rather
than their garments that gives them their
distinction. They are almost as fond of
black as the Italians themselves. There
is resemblance between American and
French women In their manner of cloth
ing themselves, but for one thing the
French woman, particularly those en-
ployed in the shops are far fonder of the
quiet colors.
There is also a remarked resemblance
between the American and the French
feminine nature which springs from the
Intellectual quickness and the democratic
ideals that they have in common. Inc
difference grows out of the more Sc
questered life the young girl leads in
France and the greater Difference that is
paid to her in America. But that is an
other story.

MR.. CANNON TOOK HIS SEAT.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Now that "Uncle joe Cannon is so
much in evidence as Leading candidate
for the speakership they are digging up
stories about the Danville statesman.
Among others is that of how he arose in
his place in congress on one occasion to
make an extended speech. He began in
this rather sententious fashion: Mr..
Speaker, | have lived long enough
Hear, hear" yelled a wicked democrat.
and such storm of laughter broke out
that Mr. Cannon was forced to take his
seat.

A TRUE LENT.

BY Robert Herrick.
Is this a fact-to keep.
The larder lean,
And clean
From fat of veals and sheep?
Is it to quit the DISH
OF flesh, yet still
To fill
The platter high with fish?
Is it to fast an hour,
Or ragg'd to go,
Or show
A downcast look. and sour?
No! tits a fast to dole -
Thy sheaf of wheat,
And meat,
Unto the hungry soul.
It is to fast from strife.
From old debate
And hate
To circumcise thy life.
To show a heart grief-rent;
To starye thy sin,
Not bin
And that's to keep thy Lent.

A Charity HOSPITAL.

One of the noblest characteristics of
civilization is the taking care Of the
poor and sick by the well and strong.
This is civilizations most vivid con.
trast to a state of nature where the
reverse is true.
In countries and cities of the highest
civilization a notable way in. which
this spirit of Christianity is shown is
in the building of a great charity hos
pital, where the sick and friendless
may receive the best medical atten-
ton which the world affords. In Lon
don or New York there is no prince
or millionaire that can obtain better
surgical or medical treatment than can
be obtained by the humblest pauper;
for it is in these hospitals that the
great physicians make their reputa-
lions and which afford them a vast
and coveted field for observation and
study.
The city of Birmingham, the great
est city in Alabama, and destined to
be one of the great cities of the United
States, has today no distinctively
charity hospital With all its schools,
churches, banks and evidence of
wealth and culture it has done but
little for its helpless poor who may
be sick or injured. Until this fact is
remedied Birmingham cannot look the
future in the face without feeling of
shame. There is one great hospital in
the city-St. Vincent's-but it is not
charity hospital, and is largely de-
pendent on its pay patients for an
income. Another, the Hillman hospi-
tai, is nearing completion, but nei-
Their is this charity hospital. What
is needed, as was pointed out recently
by DR.. w. E. B. Davis in an address
before the medical society, is COM
bined city and county charity hospital,
supported by the city and county joint
ly, in which every citizen may feel an
interest, and where he can be assured
of medical attention of the very best
whenever he needs it and cannot pay
for it. The poorest in this great
county should feel when stricken with
illness, or physical injury, he will not
be neglected by his people.
The Age-Hera1d trusts that the mat
ter will be pressed by the physicians
of the county and by all who feel that
this duty can no longer be neglected.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
When humanity begins to think 1t stops
having fun.
The man we never can forget is the man
who caught us trying to do wrong to
him.
You can never make n fat woman be-
lieve she is really fat until she gets
stuck in the bathtub.
Such is the holiness of modest virtue
that a woman's shoetop is 200 high for
the tallest man to reach.

Speaking generally, in truth, Mr.. Par

and from what has been expected of
candidates In past political campaigns.
In the first place he was born on a
farm and educated In the district school
as well as at his mothers knee, so that
he has no college "reminiscences to ham

to undo anything learned at univer-

His active career began In a dry

which he regularly paid his board and

This he did in 1876 after marrying the
lady Of his choice, the ceremony being
performed by the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. The next year Mr.. Parry sold
out his business and handed the pro-
ceeds TO his father to pay Off mort
gage on the old home farm. starting out
afresh as agent for another firm. Two
years later he had saved money enough
to buy out hardware firm In Rush

he went into the business which he has
made the pride Of Indianapolis and
from which has developed the largest
