It is never in good form for the
average newspaper man to attempt
to belittle the average preacher or
the average person in any walk of
life. The great and good Lincoln
once said: "God must have liked
common people the best for he
made more of that kind than any
other" The average minister Of
the land does his work, public and
private, as ably and loyalty as any
other man of his class in any walk
of life does his. Hence it is small
business for any person to speak
slightingly of the average preach

FRENCH QUEEN OF THE MAY.
Pretty Custom That Prevails in
Southern Villages.

Pretty Custom That Prevails in
Southern Villages.
An ancient custom which still OBJ
tains In many villages in the south OF
France is a pretty variation of the
choosing of the May queen with
which we are so familiar At this
season of the year the mayor-each
tiny village in France boasts of a
mayor-and six of his political Off
GERS choose from among the village
maidens the most beautiful girl AS
soon as the choice is made known
the queen, dressed in white even to a
long white veil and a wreath of white
roses, assemblies with her parents and
all the villagers in front of the may
or's house. Here he and six friends,
dressed in frock coats and top hats,
form in procession, the mayor and
queen leading, and march to the
church, where there is a short cere-
mony.
They then march back to the may
or's house, where a favored few are
entertained at luncheon. When he
proposes her health he enumerates
her virtues, kisses her on both cheeks
and hands her an envelope which con-
tains the prize, 5000 in money. But
the ceremony does not end here.
They form in procession, the band
leading this time, and in a sort of
follow my leader" game walk
through the village, up lanes and over
hills for three hours. That evening
a ball is given at the inn, where the
queen dances first with the mayor and
his six friends and afterward with the
lads OF the village, and so the cele-
bration ends. The queens white veil,
and wreath, are carefully folded away
and are brought out again only when
@he becomes bride.

The World Beautiful.

Oh, jewellers on the lovely earth,
Why will We break your rest and mirth
To weary us with fruitless prayer?
Why will We toll and take such care
For children's children yet unborn
And garner store of strife and corn
To gain sea rec remembered name
Cumbered with lies and soiled with
shame?
And if the gods care not for you.
What is this folly we must do
To win some mOrtals feeble heart?
Oh, fools when each man plays his part
And heeds his fellow little more
Than these blue waves that kiss the
shore.
Take heed of how the daisies grow.
Oh fools! and if We could but know
How fair a world to you is given.
O brooder on the hills of heaven
When for my sins thou drawst me forth.
Hadst thou forgot what this was worth
Thine own hand made? The tears of men.
The death of three score years and ten,
The trembling of the tlmorous race
Had these things so bedimmed the place
Thine own hand made, thou couldst not
know
To what heaven the earth might grow
If fear, beneath the eartn were laid.
If hope failed not, nor love decayed

ARTIFICIAL sNAlLs IN PARIS.
Some Epicures Even Prefer Them to
the Genuine Article.

the Genuine Article.
Few people are aware that there are
manufactures and markets for sham,
or artificial, snails in Paris. All the
escargots sold in this shops with oys-
tiers, prawns and crayfish are not gen.
uine, and it is even said that some of
them are made in Germany. In any
case, the existence of Paris sham
snail factory has been brought to light
during the hearing of case in which
a workman sued his employer for
compensation owing to injury re-
ceived.
The matter came before the Com
mercial Tribunal for preliminary hear
ing with view to efecting COM
promise between plaintiff and defend
ant if possible. This compromise was
not arranged, and the case will be
fought out. The workman claims
compensation for mutilated finger.
He received the injury while manipu-
lating one Of his masters machines
for the fabrication of sham snails. 1t
was 0ApldluS u LudC lie employer
bought empty snailshells from the
dustmen and rag-pickers. Having
cleaned out the shells, the defendant
and his people filled them with "mou, "
that is to say, lights, or cats meat.
This soft, spongy stuff. before being
crammed into the shells, was cut into
corkscrew shape by very improved
machines. When the shell was filled
some liquid fat or grease was poured
into it and the trick was done. The
fabricated snails were sold usually at
twenty centimes the dozen.
Sometimes, when there is great
run on snails, the manufacturers get
good deal of their raw material
from Germany. 1t is affirmed that
there are actually some epicures in
Paris who prefer the sham snail to
the genuine article, even when the
latter has been among the vine leaves
in Burgundy. The artificial escargot
is said to have special flavor, which
is highly appreciated.

Pictures of the Moon.

For some time astronomers have
tried to adopt the stereoscope to
astronomy, says Cosmos, Paris. and
very satisfactory relief photographs
of the moon have been obtained by
taking views at sufficiently long inter
walls and utilizing the slight swinging
of the moon to and fro in space. The
moon appears in exaggerated relief.

for independence in the islands was
started too early in the campaign to

them harm. No one knows better
what is needed and what is not needed
by the Philippines than Americans
who have lived in the islands. One
American. who has made his home

The fact that every bandit cattle

Filipinos who have property. educa-

platform does not at all meet with
