GOOD CUSTOMER OF FRANCE
England Makes Heavy Purchases
from Her OJd-Time Foe

from Her OId-Time Foe.
Jean Finot, editor OF the Revue dos
Revues. recently put the relations be.
tween France and England in q most
striking fashion. He sad:
Great Britain deserves the name
of the richest and most important of
French colonies. France is SO bound
up with her fate that the disappear.
ance of Englands economic power
would cause her incaIculable mischief.
Our total exports in 1901 were only
4.155, 100000 francs, of which Eng,
land took 1.264 100000 francs. or
more than 80 per cent of all the mer.
chandise which We cast on the
worlds market. But even OF more i'm
portance is the fact that the amount
of English purchases in France Is
constantly growing. From 1882, ,O00,-
900 francs in 1896 II rose to ,132 600.
600 francs in 1897, to 1888 900 900
francs in 1899, and to 1854 900 900
francs in 1901, thus showing an in
crease OF 100000 francs, or over
% per cent in FIVE years. Now the
purchases from the mother country OF
all the French colonies, including
AiSetia' Eoo,VVV'oVV IduCS, dEu lunlS,
about 34.000,000 francs, together with
those scattered all over the world
about 1s3,o00O0O francs, did not
amount in 1900 to more than 47G. .Oo0.
900 francs. Besides this colossal
amount of purchases, the English
yearly spend considerable sums in
France. The money left in our coun-
Try by Englishmen visiting Paris or
their favorte resorts is commonly
estimated at 500.oOO,OO0 francs, thus
making 1,sOO 100000 francs as the
formidable total yearly paid by Eng.
land to France"

Mrs. John A. Logan sounds a note
of warning to women who go outside
of the sphere of home, neglecting
daughters, and sons to occupy n
conspicuous figure in the public eye
She says so absorbed in themselves
and their simulated duties is the
modern woman and mother. that sons
and daughters are allowed latitude
which would not have been uermiss-
able by any manner of means n
quarter of a century ago. The article
appeared in the Times yesterday and
its subject is ''Are American Mothers

ters. y The opening sentence of the
article is 1T is TO be regretted that
modern society in sthis country has
gradually drifted away from the old
time standard of proprietv, and that
mothers, especially, have become
more indulgent and less vigilant in
the care of their children" Mrs.
Logan speaks as one in authority and
her words are true, beyond any ques-
iton of doubt.

DILUTES AND SWEETENS
HER POISONOUS DRAUGHT
Julia Vinche Drinks a CarbOlic Acid
TOddy Which Does Her
Little Harm.

Though she thought she wanted to
die, Julia Vinche, a 16-year-old girl,
diluted and sweetened a dose of car
bolic acid before taking it yesterday.
The carbOlic toddy was not strong
enough to harm her.
The girl had read about an acquain-
tance who had taken carbolic acid.
She became morbid on the subject and
determined to die by the same meth
cd. In the kitchen of her mothers
home at 8 Sunshine court the girl
mixed the drink, which she thought
would prove fatal.
Her mother found her lying on q
lounge waiting for the approach OF
death. Mrs. Vinche sent for an am
bulance and Julia was taken to the
Central Emergency Hospital. she
was found to be suffering very little
from the decoctiOn.

said. "CarboIic acid is not very nice,

requires CoffrOth and the John Doe

not be made perpetual.
Besides asking for the injunction
Garrett sues Coffroth and the unknown
defendants for $4,000 damages, but
