rather a free-trader, but ! do
know that it is suicidal 20 the
Southern poultry industry for
every one who wishes to invest
in pure bred poultry 10 lsaye the
/ good things at his own door and
seek another market in which to
purchase his stock and then kick
because his neighbors pursue
the same policy. It is a poor
rule that will not work both ways.
The true method is to end what
you need and buy it, at fair
valuation, even if it is just
across the street. The distance
from which your stock comes
cannot add to its purity nor to
its intrinsic worth, although the
added express charges will swell
its monetary value to you.
We labor too under the dis
advantage of newness. That
ga new broom sweeps clean"
is not applicable to the poultry
industry. Too many of us ig
more the scientific side Of the in-
dustry and our matings are hap

spend but little thought and less
time IN the selection of our breed
ingpens and the resultsare deplo-
rable. Few have STANDARD, 4"
and l fear me that those who
have neglect to study it. In a
recent communication in regard
to fowls 1 was informed by the
writer that he had been purchas-
ing his cock birds in the North
but desired this season to pur-
chase in the home market but
had been unable to do so because
he could not get San intelligent

Breeders and buyers from the

 Yankee Comforts for French Babies.
 I have already spoken of the Ameci- can toys which are sold In different parti of Europe You may find some in Paris and they are to my mind prettier than the French toys, and, as rule, mu ;n cheaper There is an opening also Tor our baby carriages, both here and in Eng land. Those used in Paris and Lond on are the most uncomfortable things l have ever seen. The London baby is wheeled about in a sort of a foot bath on wheels, called a perambulator. The most com mon carriage has two seats, so that 1t can be used for twins if needed, and 1t IS not uncommon to see it so occupied.
 Even the peramtulators are rough look ing, and the beautiful basket work af- fairs made in America would certainly sell.
 The baby carriages of France are more like ours, but they are not half so com fortable nor so pretty. The best are made of basket work, with four wheels, two big ones and two small ones behind. You
 see the little ones of Paris everywhere
 in the parks and public squares in such
 carriages. Each has a nurse guarding it
 and as a rule a policeman or a soldier
 is nearby, gratuitousy guarding the nurse. Frank G. Carpenter.

Among the soups were oxtail, mock turtle, hare soup and clam chowder, each of winch sells for g cents per can, green turtle and terra pin soups at 40 cents per can and mulli- gatawney and others at lower rates talked with the manager. He says that American goods are steadily increasing in popularty and that they are making their way among the French.
 I heard the same from another grocer close to the Place Vendome, in the heart of the Rue de la PriX, where the leading French dressmakers are situated. This man is handling American cereals. Ame~- s<can whiskies. crackers and biscuits from Now York, as well as the various goods I saw at Potins.
 Even the Groceries are Artistic.
 At all the grocery stores our goods are well displayed. The French are the most artistic of all window dressers and they can give us many points on preparing merchandise so that it will catch the customers eye. spent some time look ing over the fruits vegetables and meats at Potins. Among the fruits were ripe Strawberries, each strawberry lying, half wrapped in a green leaf and in regular rows in flat boxes. The boxes appear to be covered with glass. and the stra " berries are prettier than any fruit you have ever seen. They are as big as hens eggs and as rosy as the cheek of q ffeshly washed baby.

of coal. ard the home production last year was not quite a, ,0o0,00o. Only D per cent. of this is anthracite, the remaind 'r being bituminous and Ignite. At prss~ ent quite lot of American coal is com ing into Marseilles, and I understand that 1t is successfully competing with the Cardiff Coal there. The American coal re- ceipts at that port during the last year have been over 200,CO) tons. The most of the Havre coal comes across the channel from Great Britain and that of north eastern France from Belgium via rail- road and canal.
 All sorts of fuel are used in France and that most economically. There is no waste of wood or coal. Many of the rail- way companies use coal dust for run ming their steam engines. The dust $ pressed by hydraulic force into briquettas or bricks. Coal dust pressed into balls the size of eggs Is used for cooking anl also for househeating and grate fires. It seems to heat as well as lump coal.
 Here in Paris wood is sold by the bun dle and the ordinary wood yard is lit- tie store about eight or ten feet wide, facing the street, the wood and kindlin., being piled up on shelves. It is esti mated that France spends almost $70,- o0oOOO year for wood, and I am told that wood, outside of kindling is so cost ly that it is only used by the rich.
 A great deal of gas is now being used for cooking, especially in the larger es- tablisbments.' There are no hot water plants or steam heating plants to speak

They not infrequently have American newspapers. and always the Paris edition of The New York Her aid, which is partly in French, and which has so much continental social news in 1t that 1t can hardly be called American.
 France Wants American Coal.
 had talk last night with MT. Lazare Weller, who recently returned from the United States, where he has been locat- ing a place for the twenty young stu dents which France from now on mus. keep in America to study our industrial and business methods. Mr. Weller Is delighted with his reception in the United States, and is urging that closer com mercial relations should be established Said he:
 The French have never felt more friendliness toward the Americans than they do now We appreciate your won derful kindness and great munfcence ,n sending supplies to our suffering people of Martinique. and we should like to do what we can to make our trade relations with you closer. Indeed, I may say the French will do all they can to meet the people of the United States in this way. We should be glad to buy anything of you when It Is not to our great financial advantage to buy elsewhere"
 Along what special lines can our trade with France be mos: easily increased? ?'' l asked.
 There are several lines," replied MT. Weller and especially that of coal. I should say that you could give us our surplus coal quite as advantagcously as the English or Belgians Our annuaI production of coal is about 150. 600. GOO tons short of the demand. and we have to ao to England or Belgium for supply. The United States could easily furnish this and hope that arrangements can be made to that effect"
 How France Keeps Warm.
 Since I saw Mir. Weller l have had further talks about the coal industry or France with other parties. l am told that { the time is ripe for the introduction Of our coal here and that there is no doubt but that if properly pushed 1t could make its way into the markets.

Seventeen hundred pounds of potatoes are fried at the same time and 1,40o eggs can be boiled at once.
 Every Clerk a Partner.
 Connected with the Bon Marche are lodging houses for the women employees, who are given house, linen, fire and food free of charge. All employees after five years service have an interest in what is called the Boucicault Prevalent Farm, consisting of a certain amount of the profits of the house proportionate to the salary received. Four per cent. interest is paid on the accumulations of this kind, and this is added to the capital. After d woman has been employed for fifteen years or man for twenty, he or she can withdraw this capital or the samc right is given upon reaching fifty years Of age. If q girl marries, however, she Is given the entire amount of her capital. irrespective of the term of service. Since the foundation of the firm more than s35OO0O has been paid out to employees, and the capital of the fund at presents is about $7O0,OoO.
 Pensions for Clerks.
 In addition to this there is another fund which provides pensions for such em- ployes is have worked in the establish ment for twenty years or have reached the agc Of 50. The capital of this fund is sl,oo0oo0, and 1t gives life pensions of from Sl20 to $30) per year. The wag es paid are, I understand. about the samo as those of other establishments, but the employees receipts largely depend on ths amount of their sales regular commis- sions on such sales being given.
 Ice Cream Freezers and kefrigerators
 Among the curb IS American goods for sale on the Bon Marche are ice cream freezers and refrgcrators, as well es churns and washing machines. The English clerk who acted as my interpre- ter told me that the ice cream freezers are very popular. The French do not kEow ice cream as We make it. Indeed, l have not had good dish of ice cream since l left the United States. Ices are served at the hotels and restaurants, but in many cases the amount given is not more than tablespoonful and it is served in a little glass with a bowl like the hole in the bottom of a wine bottle.

istration certificates there. The granting of new certificates lies with the Board of Registrars of Dekalb, but the twelve men interested have the right of appeal.
 This settlement of the question raised by their petition was made in an opinion by Attorncy-Genera Charles G. Brown. The question submitted to Attorney Gen cral Brown was. did the Jackson County certificates entitle the twelve men to vote in DeKalb County? He decided that the men were not authorized to vote in De- Kalb by certificates which they had got ten from the Board of Registrars of Jack son County. No instructions were is- sued to the Registrars of DcKalb to put them on the list of qualified voters of that county.
 This matter was left with the Board of Registrars. 1t is not expected that the Board will raise any objections to the issuance of the certificates.
 The trouble grew out of the fact that the twelve men lived near the county line. new survey switched them from one county to the other without formal ceremony.

Twelve men living near the line of Jackson and DeKalb Counties, who have heretofore considered themselves citi- zens of Jackson County, have been officially declared to be citizens of De- Kalb County.
 The residence of these men was changed to DeKalb County by new line of sr- vey made last summer. They had se- cured registration certificates in Jackson County and being in a dilemma over the changed conditions, appealed to Governor Jelks who referred the request for in formation to Hon. Charles G. Brown, At torney-General.
 It has been decided that the registra- ton certificates secured by these men in Jackson County will be of no benefit to them in DeKalb County. Before voting in DeKalb County they must secure reg

.T:HEFkTAt BOW

Twas just bow Of ribbon,
That wore pinned in my haiT,
That now had cruelty fallen
And slumbering laid - there: :.
Until dear "Billy" seen it,
And with artistic sir,
Reclaimed the naughty little bow,
And placed it in my hair.
Then with a smile I turned around
To thank him. when - "oh! Oh!'
I seen that he'd been wounded,
With the pin that held that bow;
But twas only one brief moment
Till twas healed without pain,
And no scar was left to whisper,
In a silent hour, my name.
The days flew by, we met once more
That naughty bow was there,
It assumed rightful ownership
To nestle in my hair;
AS the surging crowd was moving
Somehow, I cannot tell,
It left it's quiet resting place
And in "Billy's" pathway fell.
Then once again he grasped it,
But no cruel pin was there,
So he pinned it with loves arrow
To my heart, and not my hair.
Though time may cease the bleeding
And silence every pain,
The sea that wicked bow mas left
Still ever must remain.

The program was an unusually long
one, but so sincere were those who par

spirit of eulogy was contagious, so that
even the secretary of the memorial
committee, Robert M. Campbell, who
was assigned to read letters of regret,
could not refrain from adding his own
tribute and making one more speech in
honor Of Mr.. Cummings. The music,
all Of it sacred, was Of the best, and at
the close of the services 1000 persons
joined in singing Nearer, My God, to
