French Fondness for Medals.


The French are particularly fond Of dis-
tfnctive signs and badges. The senators,
deputies municipal councillors. &C., all pos
sess medal Of some sort; but the Danes
du Corps Municipal" as they were called
in the time Of Napoleon III, were more
favored in this respect than the wives Of
the present town councillors of Paris. They
possessed badge which permitted them to
participate in all the public ceremonies
without any other invitation. The Car
navalet Museum contains one of these
badges, consisting of a medallion bearing
the arms of Paris encircled with pearls.
Curiously enough. the curator of the Munic-
1pal Museum at first imagined that the
badge was that of the municipal councillor
himself, but he has just been undeceived
by M. Paul Buffet, who has communicated
to him the letter from Baron Haussmann
which accompanied the dispatch of the me-
dallion to the wives of those municipal
councillors who had been prevented from
being present at the distribution. This
badge was created on the occasion of the
baptism Of the prince imperial on August
3, 1856. On that occasion a grand fete
was given at the Hotel de Vile, and the
medallion constituted both a permanent in
vitation to all future municipal fetes and,
as said in the projects letter, "a modest
souvenir"

THE VEGETABLE SEASON.
Eat Less Meat and You Will Feel Bet
ter-Peas, Beans and Greens.

ter-PeaS, Beans and Green's.
From the Housekeeper.
During the spring days when the warm
sunshine, gentle rains and soft breeZes
have kissed, moistened and famed into new
life all nature, how often we suffer from
lack of vitality and a feeling of lassitude
which a tagging appetite always superin-
duces. We do not care to eat and cannot
tell when we actually feel the need of food
1t Is at this season of the year that we
should supply our tables with such daintily
prepared food as will not only tempt the
eye, but whet the appetite.
The lack of any particular ingredient In
our food is often indicated to us by a long
ing for it. We feel strong desire to eat
particular things and no others, and such
a desire may generally be taken as safe
indicator that the body needs them.
In the warm weather we need more liquid
food. Less meat is needed, and the nitro
genouS substances required in the body
may be taken in the form of milk, eggs,
cheese, beans, peas, etc, and with good
wholesome bread and fresh butter, plenty
of fresh vegetables and fruit, there need
be very little money expended for meats
except where meals are prepared for men
who are employed at manual labor, and
even then a special diet properly arranged
would save considerable on the marketing
bill.
Lettuce may be used in combination with
very many of the other fresh vegetables,
but has no special food value 1t is chiefly
used as a garnish Cress and sorrel are
also used furnishings for salads and
many of the fish and meat dishes. Sorrel
contains oxalates and should therefore be
forbidden those who suffer from excess
Of acid in the system. In other words,
equity and rheumatic patients should avoid
1t. Many other substances are mentioned in
works on dietetics which are used in the
making Of salads and pickles, and as rel
ishes they are a safeguard against anything
of the nature of scurvy. They stimulate
the digestive secretions and give Zest to the
appetite. We may include In this list green
peppers, capers, mint tarragon ian aro-
matte Siberian plant, parsley, endive, chic
DRY, romaine. okra and many more. In
fresh vegetables find the necessary salt
and certain acids in proper proportions
which are believed to be serviceable in
purifying the blood; and, too, fresh vege-
tables contain a large per cent of water
go per cent? which is in itself of great use
in the system in many ways. They should,
however, be eaten when fresh, young and
tender.

AMERICAN MONEY.
United States Capital Makes Itself Felt
in Foreign Fields.

From Harper's Weekly.
Some recently published statistics bear
witness to the wide distribution of Ameri-
can capital in foreign fields. Thus Arnerl-
cans are said to be interested in the con-
struction of the proposed electric traction
lighting and power system of Johannes
burg, the cost Of which is computed at
100000. The electric road projected in
connection with this system will be nearly
thirty miles long Machinery has also been
sent by the Westinghouse Company to the
De Beers consolidated diamond mines at
Kimberley, South Africa. Machine tools
required by railroad shops and other large
Industrial establishments in British India
have been ordered from the Billiard Ma
chine Tool Company of Bridgeport Conn.,
A gas engine needed for a dynamo which
Is to generate current for a plant about to
be constructed for the purpose of lighting
the imperial post and telegraph offices at
Toxic. Japan, is to be supplied by New
York company. Car cOuplers to be used on
the Chinese imperial railways are being
made in Pittsburg.
Automobiles of American manufacture
are to be shipped not only to England, but
also to France. In Spain an electric plant
which will cost about $1,000, 600, is to be
installed by American capital on the river
Douro for the transmission Of electricity to
the mining district of GuanaJuato, more
plants are to be erected at Uruapan and
Cordova, in Mexico, by the North American
Beef Company, and a Pittsburg concern Is
about to erect coffee-cleaning, rice-cleaning,
cotton and saw mill plants on a property
comprising some twenty-five thousand acres
in the state of Caxaca. Mex. Between the
town of the same name as that state and
Militia, which is twenty-six miles distant, an
electric traction railway is to be built by
Americans. Orders for two hundred freight
cars and large numbe Of passenger cars
have come from Yucatan to the American
Car and Foundry Company. What is evon
more significant. three ship building cranes.

Wolff yards at Belfast. Ireland. by the

do not find reported similar proofs of the
estimation in which American manufac-
lures are held all over the world. If the
products of iron and steel sent abroad dur
Ing the last few months have fallen short
Of the quantity expected, this is because
the manufacturers, owing to the anthracite
strike. have been unable to keep up with
the home demand.

Lessons in Counting.

Hamlin Garland in the North American Review
The influence OF fiction upon feminine
character is very great. Girls get their
knowledge Of the world in large measure
from novels. and it is Of the utmost i'm
portance that their ideas of courtship
should be sane and wholesome at least.
The humorous exposition Of feminine as
we'll as male excuses and follies Is likely
to have benefcent influence on the ma
TONS life. by giving comparative ideas OF
life and love to 1.-THE mothers OF men,"
