5000 francs ($1,SOO), He also receives
free railway transportation and free
}uncheons at the bar of the Palais
Bourbon, where many a lawmaker
spends more time than he does in the

of taking all their meals at the free

reduced rates, a special brand of cigars
which is called "cigare de deputies"
With these cigars he treats his infuen-

privileges, there have been many COM

The Cook Approved.

Out in Columbia road lives q gentle
woman of ample means, who recently
advertised for a cook. The establish
ment is entirely in accord with an ex-
cellent social position, but is by no
means pretentious, so when a we'll rec
commended cook called and mentioned
her price as $40 month the lady Of
the house answered that wage of that
figure was quite out Of the question.
The cook dwelt a little on her su-
perior ability in the matter of getting
up smart luncheons and dinners, but
the mistress of the house answered
that she wouldn't think for a moment
Of paying $40 for a cook. The chef
lady rose to depart. She was perfectly
affable, and the gentlewoman's deter
mination evidently impressed her as
most cOmmendable.

your income"
And she departed, doubtless to find
somebody who isn't making that eff

MODERN UTOPIAS.
European Countries In Which Pau
Derism Is Unknown.

Denmark claims that there is not a
single person in her domain who cali
not read and write. On the northeast
coast of New Guinea the island of
Kutaba, surrounded by a wall of coral
300 feet high on one side and from
so to 100 feet on the other, maintains
thirteen villages of natives, to whom
war, crime and poverty have been un-
known since the beginning of their
traditions The most peaceful and COM
Portable community in Europe is the
commune of the Canton Eaud, in Swift
zerland Nearly every one is we'll off,
and there are no pauperS. Finland is q
realm whose inhabitants are remark
able for their inviolate integrity. There
are no banks and no safe deposits, for
no such security is essential. You may
leave your luggage anywhere for any
length Of time and be quite sure or
finding it untouched on your return,
and your purse full of money would be
Just as secure under similar circum-
stances The Firms place their money
and valuables in holes in the ground
and cover them with big leaf. Such
treasure is sacredly respected by all
who pass it, but in the rare event OF
a man wishing to borrow Of his neigh
Dor during his absence he will take
only the smallest sum he requires and
place a message in the hole telling OF
his urgent need and promising to re-
pay the amount on a specified date.
And he will invariably keep his word,
for the Finn is invincible in his indie
pendence.
Agneta Park, near Delft, in Holland,
is another Utopia example. A tract OF
ten acres has upon it $50 houses. each
with it's little garden and with GER
tain common buildings and common
grounds. The houses are occupied by
the employees of a great distilling COM
pany, who form corporation which
owns the park. Each member owns
shares in the corporation and pays
rent for his house The surplus, after
all expenses have been paid, comes
back to him as dividend. If he wishes
to 60 away or if he dies his shares are
bought up by the corporation and sold
to the man who takes his place.-De-

The Poor Save For Months to Buy
Their Christmas Pig.
In Servia they keep Christmas eve
in a somewhat peculiar way. The ia
Their of the family goes into the wood
and cuts down a straight young oak,
choosing the most perfect that he can
find. He brings it in, saying, Good
evening and a happy Christmas" to
which those present reply, MAY God
grant both to thee and mayest thou
have riches and honor" Then they
throw over him grains Of corn. Pres
emily the young tree is planted upon
the Goals, where it remains until Christ
mas morning, which they salute by re-
peated firings of a pistol.
The national dish in Servia is pork.
The poorest family in Servia will pinch
themselves all through the year so as
to have money enough to buy pig at
Christmas. Skewered to long piece Of
wood, the pig is turned over blazing
fire until cooked, the guests watching
the process with increasing interest.
After dinner stories are told and songs
sung. Santa Claus, who, in the person
of an honored guest. is present to re-
ceive instead Of to give presents, de-
parts after the feast, decorated with a
long ring of cakes around his neck and
laden with such gifts as his friends can

TIE SLED BOAT.
Ingenious Combination Devised Dy
the Fire Island Life savers.

The life savers attached to Uncle
Sans stations on Fire island encoun-
tered great difficulties and dangers il
crossing the Great South, bay to the
Long Island shore, either by water
craft or ice craft. Still, naturally
enough, they had longing to visit
family and friends when the great is
land sea was ch oked with DRIFT ice or
partly frozen over. These ingenious
people long ago realized the needs OF
a vehicle capable of travelling on either
ice or water safely, and years ago they
launched the first scooter" boat con-
structed to travel on both ice and In
water. It was a small boat, made fast
to a sled, which was pushed on the ice
and rOwed on the water. This crude
mode of travel, with the wind against
or across the boat, made the trip one OF
tremendous eXertion. In the course or
time a sail was tried, at first square
rugged and very small, but it was used
only when the wind was fair. Then
special boat was built which was par
TALLY decked and the sled was made
lighter until at last the scooter OF the
present day came about, with nothing
left of the sled but the bottom of the
runners. shod with iron, or, better still,
as experience has shown, with brass.
And so has developed the wonderful
scooter of the Long Island lakes and
bays, a swift iceboat that will sail in
the water and from one element to the
other quickly without jar.-Exchange.

pieces at Drury Lane it was usual to
consult them in the course of the even
ing as to what they would appear in
next, One night when the prompter
was sent to ask Mr.. Macready what he
would play with Mr.. Kean the great
tragedian frowned upon him till be
blushed. ''Sir," he roared, chow should
I know what the man would like to
play?' The prompter retired to seek
the desired information from Mr.. Kea1.
"Sir," said Mr.. Kean sharply, chow
should I know what the fellow can
play?"

VEGETABLE PORCUPlNE.
Wild Cettle Eat It's Sharp Spines as
with IrOncIad Mouths.

The best hated cactus in America is
the chola. The Mexicans say that if
you go near a cholla joint will jump
at you. Certainly if you touch one it
will stick, and when you try to free
yourself it will pierce your other hand
as we'll. Each pendent joint seems to
reach out for the passerby, and the
ground beneath the broad cholla trees
is strewn with fallen fragments, many
of which take root and grow
After one has felt the sharp spines
through heavy boots and seen their
needle points it is q source of continual
wonder to see the wild cattle of Ari-
IONA quietly browsing on chollas, The
phrase cactus fed" as applied to Ari-
IONA is not figure Of speech. During
the years of drought thousands of cat
tie carry themselves over until the next
grass by eating chollas. With their
leathery tongues and lips they strip the
spiny joints from the trunk and leave
the wide spreading cactus bare and
woody skeleton. 1t is only the range
cattle, whose mouths have been hard
ened on the thorny mesquite and IRON
wood browse, that will undertake to
eat cactus and cattlemen therefore
often burn the thorns from chollas and
nopals in order to tempt their more
fastidious animals to eat.-Country

LOCKS AND KEYS.
Their Use Can BE Traced Back to
the Ancient Egyptians.

Their Use Can BE Traced Back to
the Ancient Egyptians.
According to Demon, locks and keys
can be traced back to the ancient Egyp-
tians. more than 1000 years ago. This
is inferred from the sculptures on the
great temple of Karnak, which closely
resemble locks still in use there
clumsy, massive wooden locks, in which
three pins drop into three holes in the
bolt, when it is pushed in, and are
raised by corresponding fixed pins on
the big key. Similar locks and keys
are found at Mosul, near Nineveh, the
key being more than foot long, quite
clublike and often carried on the Shout
der
Keys are also mentioned at the siege
of Troy, 1893 Be. The PhPnicianS
are said to have exchanged locks for
tin from Cornwall. Occasional notices
of them occur in many Greek and Ro-
man writer's, Pliny ascribing their in
vention to Theodorus of Samos. Bronze
and iron keys have been found in the
ruins of Pompeii.
Possibly far more ancient than these
are Chinese locks, with springs and
tumblers, some of them musical, almost
exact counterparts of the famous
Bramah locks of England in the eight
zenith. century.
