sal figure of Liberty, in plaster, the work
of Causici, another Italian sculptor, sur
mounts the white marble entablature above
the pillars at the southern entrance. The
hall now presents an appearance that has
long been desired, and when the country
once awakes to a realization of its beauty
the belated states may be expected to send
statues to aid in its further enrichment.

can be no questioning the value Of vaca-
tion trips the average farmer has no time
to spare for them, at least in the summer,
the season for excursion rates on the rail-
roads. There are certainly two periods Of
heavy pressure in farm work in our sec
tion OF the country during which it would
be hard for the head OF the establishment
to leave. The first lasts from the begin
ming OF spring work to the end OF the corn
planting season, about May 20. From then
until about the middle OF June there is
usually a lax spell which would give time
for a brief trip at a profitable season. a
good time to visit the northern country,
the prairie sections OF the Dakotas and
Minnesota or even the vast tracts Of land
recently opened in Canada.
From the middle Of June to the middle
Of August comes the rush season which |
have mentioned, but when this is ended
the farmer is surely in condition TO enjoy
a vacation. That is the time when he
should take his wife and go with her to the
mountains, the lakes or the sea for com
plete change. II the west does not attract
him. there are numerous excursions to the
east. He can take advantage of convention
or exposition rates to visit the home OF his
ancestors, view spots OF natural or his
torical interest and study the modes OF
living used by an older civilization.
The results Of these trips will, as a rule.
show the next summer in increased income
from the farm. Better still, they will show
in the happier faces OF mother and children
and in the new enjoyment which ali will
take in life. And that, after all. is the
main thing. We are on earth to live. To
hnd true and noble pleasures in life Is
more important than TO hnd vast profits
OF the financial sort. But remember that
Joy is a duty which awaits no mans leisure.
1t must be taken early. often and more or
less regularly, or it is never to be had at
all.

The walters of Paris are up in arms
against tips. They held the other night a
meeting whose battle cry was "a has lie
pourboire!" and are shortly to issue hand
bills setting forth the evils of the tipping
system-familiar topic. though never be-
fore presented from the walters viewpoint.
Tipping is a complicated system in Paris.
Each "pourboire," as 1t is collected, is put
into a general box, and at the end OF the
day the total is divided equally among the
walters. They receive no wages, but, on
the contrary, have to advance to the cafe
keeper at the beginning Of each day a sum
estimated at one-half OF the days pour
boire. Whether or not the gratuities reach
the estimated total, the fxed sum is paid
to the owner for expenses" One garcon
recently brought suit against his employer
for these expenses and recovered. The
1000 walters at the meeting determined on
similar action.

A few days ago a Miss Death was brought
TO the German hospital in Philadelphia to
be operated on for appendicitis. She was

The surgeons name who was chosen

bible. Unwittingly the shopman gave him

On opening the book when he reached
home the peasant was surprised to find 1t

peasant showed 1t to a policeman, who
felt convinced that the signs were Of an
extremely free thinking character" and
so arrested the owner.
At the trial the peasant was discharged
and the policeman instead Of being re-

handed.
