 Our Consul at Lyons.
 l have spent much time here about the United States consulate. It is the Ameri- can center of the Rhone valley, and does more business than any consulate in France except Paris.
 It deserves to be made a consulate gen. eral, inasmuch as Lyons is the commer- cial center of ma a7afacturing France, and in the most thickly populated part of the country.
 I am glad to find consul here who speaks French. Our American represen- tative is MT. John c. Covert, who is well known to the newspaper world of the United States from his long connection with the Cleveland Leader. MT. Covert began life as a printers devil in The Leader office. but at the age of 2l came to Paris with hardly enough money to pay a weeks board bill. He lived in France for eight years, supporting him self by teaching the Frenchmen English Like Baya-d Taylor. he put on a blouse and tramped over the country from one end of 1t to the other, studying the peo- pie and learning the language. After a time he returned to the United States and remained there until the election of President Mckinley, when he was sent

 LYONS, France.
 This Rhone valley Is one of the richest parts of the French republic. It's pro- ducts amount to hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and there is scarcely a family which has not a hoard stored away in a woolen stocking under the raft CTS. It already buys many American goods. but the field is not half worked. Lyons, where am writing, has popula- ton of 500,000. It has excellent stores, but they are filled with French, English. German and Belgium goods, and the chief American products to be seen are Cali fornia fruits, Chicago bacon, typewriters and sewing machines. And still the American shoe would walk rapidly into the hearts of the better classes. and our ice cream soda would soon make its way into the affections of the Lyonnese maid ems. I found American soda fountains doing a good business in England. There are none in Paris and only few in Ber- lin and Hamburgh.
 Openings for American Drugs.
 We should have a good trade here in American drugs. We ship many to Eng land. but none to speak of to France The French drugs are poor. They are made hy the natives of diluted extracts and adulterated solids. You have to take doses the size of horse powders to ac- complish the desired result, and the medi- cines as rule are put up on the homeo- pathic plan. Our consul at Lyons recent ly sent out for dozen two-grain quinine pills. representing the word grain by

in their own gas fixtures and the land lords insist that the pipes be put outside the walls, saying that if they are inside they may leak. At the close of his lease the tenant takes the fixtures away with him or sells them to the incoming tenant.
 The heating arrangements are very bad. As a rule every man heats his own apart ment and stoves are used. Steam heating plants are not known by the majority or French householders, and only the fewest of the apartments nave electric lights
 It is wonderful how the. people crowd themselves Into small flats. To save room, cupboards are often built in the walls of the larger apartments. Each cupboard when closed looks as though 1t might be a door leading into another room, but when opened you can see 1t has a bed inside it and you learn that 1t is there the children sleep The rooms Of such apartments are all connected The floors are very good and they are kept shiny by means of iron shavings which look much like excelsior. These are sold at so much pound. and they SCOUT the floor until 1t shines.
 Judas Sits.
 One of the queer features of every front door is what the people here call a Judas" This is a little plate of brass about as big as visiting card with slits a sixteenth of an inch wide cut in 1t. This card is tackled over a little hole in the door and is So arranged that the per- son within can peep through and without being seen tell who Is knocking before deciding whether she is at home or not.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-11-02

If she does not want to receive her caller the servant gives word that she Is not in and therefore the name Judas. I don't know but that this is quite as honest as the Judas kisses which our ladies often give their callers when they wish that they are elsewhere.
 I have gone through several flats here in Lyons. The best of them have nc comforts for the servants. The usual place for the hired girl is a little loft made by cutting off half the height of the kitchen, just wide enough to hold a bed, where the girl crawls off to sleep. She has no light but from the kitchen and the ventilation is poor.
 A Bath for Three Gems.
 And still Lyons has some very good things. How would you like bath for cents? I had one today. and two women waited on me as went in and out of the bathroom. The bathing place was in one of the public parks. A little house about fifteen feet square had been there erect ed, and in this were six baths, or stalls, divided into compartments by water proof curtain. On one side there was an excellent shower I turned one spigot and the water came down on my head, and another gave me shower on all sides of my body at once. I was told that could use ten gallons of hot water and all the cold water I wanted. I was furnished soap and towels, and at the close found a comb and brush ready for use These baths are common in many French cities. They belong to a company, which has

 For nearly an hour the Confederates re- ceived the attack in silence. Then Cap tain Robinson, General Gladden's Adju- tant, rode along the line giving orders to open fire. He was loudly cheered By this time Fort Pick sas was enveloped in the smoke of it's own guns and the fleet had advanced to the attack. The latter was out of range of everything except Fort McRae, which had to bear the whole force of its assault. Shot and shell with demonliks screech and hiss were flying and falling thick and fast sarout our forts and batteries. and the cannonadirg had swelled into almost one continuous volcanic rear. To us .ufinit.ated 1t was sublime spectacle. Our boyish. ardor knew no bounds; and..n bridge could have been thrown across the bay we should have probably rushed to Fort Pickens During the hardest ,f the fight a private of the Clayton Guards with Confederate flag in hand ascended the Light House and. waving the banner defiantly few moments towards Fort Pickens. planted It upon the very pinnacle about four hum dred feet above the earth while severa guns at Fort Pickens were trained upon him. For this heroic act Colonel Clay ton afterwards presented him with sll- yer cup in the presence of the regiment
 Throughout the fight Fort McRae had been an object of intense anxiety to us because of it's exposed position and known weakness. At one time a volley from the fleet raked part of its outer wall, swept away its flag staff. and obscured 1t with the smoke of bursting shells. But when the smoke cleared away the ragged banner with broken stan was restored amid loud and prolonged cheers of Con- federates. fe%

 French Postal Savings Banks.
 The postal savings banks of France have deposits amounting to more than half billion dollars. and their receipts. including the interest. amount to more than $l5O.OOO,OO0 a year. There are now about three and half million postal sav- ings bank depositors, and these include all classes of people and persons of all ages. There are almost as many women as men among the depositors, and also 100000 French children. Many of the de- postors are farm hands and tens of thousands of them are employees in th5 mills and factories.
 About $500 school children have such accounts and they are encouraged by the teachers to open them. In every common school a child can deposit with the teacher amounts of 1 cent and upward. and the agent of the postal savings banks comes around once a month and collects the savings. When a child makes It's first deposit it gets bank book. and when it's deposits have reached franc or 20 cents it is supplied with bigger one.
 Parents often lay aside money in these banks for their children. so that they can have a capital with which to begin life when they reach manhood or woman hood. Mothers lay aside money for their

 Besides Fuckers, there were three bat teries on the east bank of the river, each mounting from two to four guns varying in calibre from S2 to 64 pounders; and on
