In these articles continues brisk. Only

arrival of large quantity of statuary

Little brown-faced lad and lass,
Naught in all the world beside
Equals being "countrified."
Up of mornings when the light
Reddens on the mountain height;
Hearing how the bird-throats swell
With the joy they cannot tell;
Conscious that the morning sings
Like a harp with unseen strings,
Over which the breezes glide;
This is being ''countrtfied."
Roaming ta-, Oil summer days,
Or when autumn woodlands blaze;
Learning how to catch and tell
Natures precious secrets well;
Filled with sunshine, heart and face,
Or where branches interlace,
Dappled like the shy trout's side:
This is being 'countrified"
What though little fit to pose
In the city's ways and clothes7
Ihere is vastly more to love
IN the brown of natures glove.
Health and happiness and tan
Are best fashions for a man,
All who near to God abide
Are, In some way, ''countrified"

THE PARIS CAB HORSE,
After Three Years. Service in the City
the Animal Is Thoroughly
Worn Out.

About $4,000 horses pull the cabs Of
Paris. The average life is little less
than three years. They come up from
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the
meadows of Calvados and the fields of
Normandy, from Limousin and Finis-
terre and the Gironde. Chained and
strapped into the thills of breakers
carts they are broken to city sights
and sounds-to the horrible steam
tram, with it's discordant clamor; to
the electric tram, that leaves behind
it trail of electric sparks; to pass
ing regiments and professions and,
notably, to the policeman with the
white wand, says writer in Outing.
Then, being bit-broke, whip-broke,
city-broke and heart-broke, he is
ready for the fiacre. He goes on un-
til he breaks his knees-and longer,
even-until he has worked out his
average of three years. ALI Of which
tends to make for melancholy.
Cocotte has long been a favori1e
topic for sentimentalists. Childless
women, and men who do not smoke
have spent, doubtless, too much ink
and tears over the Paris cab horse.
NV interest is on the human side of
things. As for Cocotte her end is USE
full but ignoble. Last year Paris ate
14.84O horses-just about the annua.
number of horses used up in the
fiacres. Qn addition the good Paris
ians ate PSI asses and 40 mules, but
that has nothing to do with the case.)
l used to wish that l were an honest
fellow of four shins. but not in Paris

BRITISH PISTOL LAW.
Facilities of Murder Than in
This Country.

Great Britain's criminal statistics
show very small proportion of muir
ders as compared with the statistics Of
the United States. The reasons for
this are to be found, not merely in the
stricter enforcement of law and in
the heavier penalties inflicted, but also
in the pains that are taken to reduce,
so to speak, the facilities for murder,
says the Chicago Record-Herald. A
man with pistol in his pocket may
kill another when he would not COM
| NIT the crime if he had to go to a
store to purchase the weapon. A man
who is able to buy pistol at any time
that he has the price may kill another
when he would not do it if the sale
was under close restrictions. Such re-
strictions are imposed by new law
passed at the last session of parlia-
ment, which British magistrates are
now busily engaged in enforcing.
The law provides in the first place
that every dealer selling or letting a
pistol must enter the transaction in a
record book that will always be open
! to the inspection of the police. In ad-
dition it prohibits the sale or letting
of pistols to persons who do not have
a gun or game license, unless they are
entitled by law to carry weapons with
out such license, or unless they are
householders who intend to keep the
pistols in their own homes, or unless
they wish the pistols for use abroad.
Furthermore, no one under the age of
18, except in a few exempt cases, is
permitted to buy, hire, use or carry a
pistol under any circumstances. For
violations of the law the penalties
range up to SIS, but where dealer
knowingly sells weapon to a person
intoxicated or not of sound mind, the
penalty may be q fine of $125 or i'm
prisonment with hard labor not ex-
ceeding three months. Good results
are expected from this law, especially
as efforts are being made to acquaint
the entire population with it's terms,
so that offenders will have little
chance to plead ignorance in excuse of
their acts. 4

EXERCISE IN HoUsEWoRK.
Something of Physical Culture in Al
most Everything That
10 Done.

Since almost all Of the regular house
work is of such sort as to require
forward motion Of the arms, the thing
to guard against is contraction of the
chest Sweeping and busting become
good exercise when proper attention is
given to the position of the body. The
sweeping not only starts the circula-
ton and increases the respiration, but
it ALSO gives some good arm and waist
exercise, says the Philadelphia In
quirer.
Bed making is fine exercise when the
windows are open to admit plenty of
fresh air. A great deal of bending is
necessary, but this alternates with
Strengthening of the body. No one po-
sition is held for any length of time,
side motions of the trunk and arms be-
ing necessary. This is free play for
the chest, the lungs are filed with
fresh air, and the general circulation
is quickened in this brisk work.
But, as in every other detail of house
work, the clothing should be such as to
give no pressure or undue weight. But
the most lowly and despised detail of
house work, is, after all, the one that
is the most valuable from the stand
point of hygiene.
The scrubbing and wiping up Of
floors are two movements in which the
weight is taken entirely from the feet.
In the position on the hands and knees
gravity acts to the best advantage, and
the shoulder movement Is comparative
-
ly free. In fact, this exercise is recon-
mended as the best possible to reduce
undue stOutness.

THE MEAN MAN LOST.
Fate or Something Else Came to the
Aid of the Pink-Nfaired
StenOgrapher.

The Broadway car was approaching
Thirteenth street, relates the New York
Sun.
gasp and touched one of the meekly
standing women with his folded newspa-
ps-. Then he rose with mighty sigh
and moved toward the door, while his
grateful beneficiary dropped into the
vacated seat.
A pink haired stenographer. not raw
ishingly pretty, who chung to a strapim-
mediately in front, viewed the incident
with surprise, and afterward assumed a
contemptu0us smile. Then the car
lurched into Dead Mans Curve and she
swung out on the strap like "Curfew
Shall Not Ring Tonight" Her lips
moved busily for lasting arch OF scorn.
The mean man, seated opposite, was
interested. Over the top OF his paper he
observed these facial changes Of the
pink haired stenographer, and he noted
their cause with fiendish pleasure.
The passenger beside him was folding
his paper and buttoning his coat. AS the
passenger rose the mean man touched
the arm of woman standing next the
pink haired stenographer and drew her
attention to the vacant seat.
The pink haired stenographer looked
over her shoulder with a glance OF
amazement and hatred. Then she saw
the mean mans expression, and under
stood that he had acted with malice
aforethought. She turned her back
sQuarely, crimson to the tips of her ears.
The mean man exulted inwardly.
Watching the seated passengers mar
roWly, he was enabled to repeat this
performance twice more, each time land
ing another tired woman in seat, and
leaving the pink haired stenographer
still clinging to the strap. In the OPP
posite window he could see her face re-
fected; and her lips were set in danger
Gus line.
The supply of standing passengers
was depicting. The mean man began to
look worried Then came the influx
from the crosstown line at Thirty fourth
street, and business seemed to be picking
up.
The new arrivals were crowding up
the aisle, when suddenly the pink haired
stenographer abandoned her strap with
q curious CLEAN in her eye. Wedgine
herself sinuously into the advancing
mass, she brought it to struggling
pause just in front of where the mean
man sat-
There was wild swaying and shutting
in which the pink haired stenographer's
gray jacket mingled vaguely. Then the
car started amid . confusion of out
arms, and the mean mans
hat was knocked from his head far into
the aisle.
He sprang forward to save it from
certain destruction, and was back in a
secondhand he found the pink haired
comfortably settled in his
seat. But the scornful arch had vanished
from her lips, likewise the dangerous
line; and her eyes looked beyond the
mean man in a gaze of dreamy content
ment
Then the mean man hooked himself
into strap and tried to look calmly re-
Elective as he computed the running time
to Eighty-third street.
