French Woman Barrlster.

II is Just year ago since Ale. Chau'
vim. the lady barrister, made her first
appearance at the Paris bar. Inter
viewed on her experiences, she states
that the fact that she is a woman
seems to be forgotten by both bench
and bar. and she no longer excites the
slightest curiosity at the law courts.
She has appeared in some fifty cases
during the year, including a divorce
case, when she repre- sCnted the hus-
band and obtained judgment against
the unfaithful wife. She far prefers
equity work, however, and never wants
to enter an assize court. In the first
place, she says one has TO tell too
many untruIhs there, and secondly, for
her part. she resolutely refuses to ac-
cept a brief unless absolutely CON
vinced of the justice of her clients
cause.
Mile. Chauvin looks upon the sick
ening leniency meted out TO murderers
in Paris, and especially to murderesses
with disgust and stupefaction, and add
ed that no woman need trouble to get
a divorce; she only need kill her hus-
band to obtain her freedom and be.

Her easement like watchful eve
From the face OF the wall looks down,
Lashed round with ivy vines so dry.
Ana with ivy leaves so brown
Her golden head in her lily hand
Like a star in the spray o. the sea,
And wearily rocking to and fro,
She sings so sweet and she sings so low
. To the little babe on her knee.
But let her sing what tune she may,
Never 20 light and never SO gay,
II slips and slides and dies away
To the moan Of the willow water.
Like some bright honey hearted rose
That the wild wind rudely mocks
She blooms from the dawn To the days
sweet close
Hemmed In with a world Of rocks.
The livelong night she doth not stir.
But keeps at her easement lorn
And the skirts of the darkness shine with
her
As they shine with the light of the
morn
And all who pass may hear her lay,
And let It he what tune 1t may,
IL slips ana slides and dies away

And there within that oue-cyed tower.
Lashed round with thc ivy brown,
She droops like some unplued flower
That the rainfall washes down:
The damp % the dew I'm her golden hair,
Her cheek like the spray o the sea,
And wearly rocking to ana fro.
She sings 80 sweet and she sings SO low
To the little babe on her knee.
But let her sing what tune she may,

proach to a condition of civilization,
they claim, and their statements are
borne out by number of indisputablc
evidences. Their oldest musical in

in use in China to-day in all its quaint
ness of form and tone. The instru-
ment has II pipes Of small bamboo
reeds. arranged in five sets There
are no bellows, hut instead an air
chest or bowl made out of a gourd.
Many of the pipes have a finger hole,
and in addition there are free reeds
or metal tongues which vibrate and
sound when the inger holes are closed
by the performer 1t is perhaps
needless to say that there are no
pedal keys and that stops are an un-
known quantity.

Kinks There are four in successful
operation and they yielc satisfactory
dividends to their stockholders. One

Preparation of the floor is the most

a floor of special felt-covered boards

The pipes are usually laid only three

can be heated by steam to a tempera-

surface of the ice can be kept hard at
all times by the frosty brine under

A proof of the conservative ways OF
the English people IS the manner in
which Goals for the household Ares
are distributed and stored.
Instead of the American coal cart,
which is loaded in less than five min
utes from an elevated coal bin, the
American visiting London finds an
ordinary wagon made to carry about
dozen large bags of coal, which are
filled one by one at an expense Of
much time and labor, and then lifted
into the venicle like so many milk
cans.
When an American coal cart reaches
the house where its load is to be
dumped the cart is backed up against
the side of the pavement, the chute
is drawn out like the barrel of tele-
scope, and the end inserted in he
coalhole, in few minutes the entire
load, with the rush of water falling
over a small cataract, runs down into
a heap on the floor of the coal cellar.
In London, on the other hand each
bag of coal has to be taken separately
from the wagon and emptied as near
as may be in the coalhole; and wnen
the task is at last finished the coal
which has fallen on the pavement has
to be laboriously shoveled into the
coal cellar.-Nineteenth Century.

BREAD AND BUTTER STATE.
New Name Gained for Minnesota by ItA
Dairy Products and Flour.


Minnesota has heretofore been
known as the Gopher State. Now it is
beginning to be called the Bread and
Butter States. The reason Of the
change becomes clear when it is said
that last year its mills turned out 26,-
$50, 900 barrels of flour and there were
churned in the state 50,O0O,000 pounds
Of butter.
In the produce of spring wheat, Min
nesota stands at the head OF the states
of the country and its flour mills are
noted not only throughout the North
west, but in foreign countries as well.
The extensive development of its dairy
interests is comparatively recent.
The combination of wheat and flour
with milk and butter is more clearly
marked in Minnesota than in any other
state. New York and Illinois are IN
portant dairy states, but the valuo of
the wheat crop in New York is Ess
than one-third the value of its cat
crop, and less than one-eighth the
value of the hay crop, wheat being now
one of the minor agricultural products
If New York, once the chief wheat
state.
Illinois raises fair amount of wheat
but the corn crop, which is of very
much more importance, yields in a
year SS to every dollar received from
the product of wheat.
