This is the pointed question asked
by Hughes lie RouX, well-known
French writer, who has been spending
some months in the United States. Tha
American girl has astounded and
shocked him. She wears such magniii
cent jewels. he declares, as are only
offered to Frenchwoman on her mar
riage. She gowns herself, too, in the
heavy velvets and silks only known te
women of forty in France.
But in the third and last proof of the
complete absence of the "feune file"
element in the American girl which
Mr.. lie RouX cites is her indifference
to marriage. Very often she believes
in having a good time, he says, and re-
fuses to consider the subject seriously
at all.
"This," observes Mr.. lie Roux, SIS
not to be wondered ut In n country
where the mother and father neither
advise nor hurry marriage, and where
1t is not preached from the pulpit OH
Sunday as q duty.

TIE Old EARN.

The Old farmhouse I see it again:
In its low dark caves the twitterin- wren
Is neSted as long ago;
And / breathe once more the south winds
balm.
And sit and watch, in the twilieht's calm.
The bat fit to and fro.
Tho white cows lie at the pasture bars
And the dairy cool, with its tins and lars,
Is stored with curds and cream:
there's somebody putting the things to
right,
And through the window I see the light
} From the tallow candle gleam.
The garden is rich with it's old.time bloom.
ANA l CATCH in fancy, the faint perfume
81. Ot blossoms dank with dew;
And over 1t all is the starlit dome,
ana round about 1t the peace of home
how 1t all comes back to view!
The. night wind stirs in elm and oak.
And up from the millpond comes the croal
o.. Ot the bullfrog's rich bassoon;
And l catch the CLEAN, as over the brink
blink,
The rim OF a crescent moon.
II all comes back from the dusk of time.
With the mournful cadence and swell OF
rhyme
That is half remembered, still
AEe measure from some forgotten strain,
That hauntingly comes and hees again,
And under duslly twilight sky
III, mlngling, floats with the p.aintive cry
vi the desolate whip-poor-wil.

Danger I'm Green Paper,

The general public, we fear. Is not
acquainted with the dangers arising
from arsenic colorlng matter In wall

Mass. is directly attributed by the
medical authorities to this cause. Tho
trouble which resulted so disastrously
made its appearance year and half
ago in what seemed TO be nervous dys-
pepsia. Two months OF travel abroad
seemed to greatly improve the patient.
but on returning home he soon grew
worse again. On account of certain
conflicting symptoms which could not
be readily accounted for specialist
was called In and gave 1t as his opinion
that there was arsenic poisoning In the
system. An investigation was then
made which resulted In the discovery
OF arsenic colors In the wall paper OF
the sitting room. This room had been
papered shortly previous to the appear

the death OF the men whose body was
found in Jackson park Tuesday night
Scratched in the snow near where
the body of the supposed Italian was

The thirteen knife wounds on the
body were inflicted by at least two
different wespons-a stiletto and a
long knife. The police have thus far
been unable TO identify the body.
Scores OF Italians have been taken
to the morgue in the hope that some
one might admit knowing the dead
man, but all profe ssed ignorance Of
