Lord Houghton a wink and the jolly old
nobleman gave the tip to a lot of good

PRETTY EXPERIMENT.


For the performance Of this expert

two hazlenuts. Part of the broad end
of the walnut is cut off and the con-

THRIFTY FRENCH PEASANTS.
Nearly 100000 Members of FAM
lilies Now Live Upon Their
own Property.

The proposition in which the occu-
pations of French society are divided
between agriculture, industrialism, the
professions and the arts is natural
and right. Practically half her pop
u~lation is Immediately dependent, as
is a considerably higher percentage
indirectly, upon the cultivation of the
soil. Above all, nearly 10000, 900 mem
bers of families live upon their own
land, and the employers are more
numerous than the Employed thing
unique in the world, says the Nine
teenth Century. The salient fact in
he social structure of France is that
she numbers no less than $500. 900 Of
proprietors, who are their own men,
with the dignity Of labor added for
the most part TO that of independence.
They are the support of the state,
which loads them with taxes and is
sustained by their indomitable econ
omy. AS a class, paradoxical as II
may seem to make such a statement
Of the dominating element of the
French people, they are more valuable
and less voluble than any equally broad
portion of society in any other coun'
try. The number of owners of land
under the Third Republic increases
automatically from year to year. NJ
Hanotaux falls into the sober and con.
vincing key by the very compulsion OF
his subject when he sums up his study
Of the village of Beaurieux. "To live
among these people of the soil (Fran'
caise de champs), whom it is hard to
think of as peasants, is to be struck
by their easy good manners, their
pleasantness and courtesy, their COM
mon sense, their mutual helpfulness.
To talk to them, to take part in their
consultations, is to find oneself in I'M
questionably good society, where voice
and tones are seldom raised, where the
hereditary prudence of the peasant
takes a shrewd measure of matters,
and lends each well-weighed decision
the stamp of gravity"

STEP IN ANY E
There Is Always Room for the Boy
or Girl Who Is willing to Take
Part in Life's Work.

During n of the great battles of
the civil war, a recruit who had lost his
company in the tumult of strife, APP
preached Gen. Sheridan and timidly
asked where he would "step in"
"'Step in? Numbered Sheridan, in a
voice that frightened the already ter
rified recruit almost as much as the
roar of cannonading and musketry.
step in anywhere; there's fighting all
along the line"
An accident occurred recently that
very forcibly brought Sheridan's
words to mind, A heavy piece of ma
chinery was being moved into a build
ing by means of a block and tackle.
Suddenly n of the ropes parted and
the machine began to slide backward.
The two men who had charge of the
work sprang to stay its progress, but
it was more than they were capable
Of doing.
"Give us a lift!" one of them shouted,
to a bystander.
where shall l take hold?" asked the
man thus addressed. unmindful of the
fact that both men were exerting every
muscle to control the machine and that
there was not a second to lose,
Grab hold anywhere" yelled the
mover.
But another had already seen the
necessity for instant action, and rem
dered the necessary assistance.
IT may be that we are in field where
we are unaccustomed to work, and are
timidly asking where we shall "step
in" We may find our answer in the
words of Sheridan: "Step in any.
where; there's fighting all along the
line."-Wellspring.

Sioux City, Iowa, April 20.-Last
