IN one Of the most fashionable rest
taurants in Paris a mans life was
saved through the skill and quiclmess
of one Of the guests. It appears that
a man. with three friends. was dining
at one Of the small tables when a
piece Of meat lodged IN bis throat and
he found Il impossible to get rid OF
It. His friends IN alarm slapped him
on the back. but the unfortunate man
became black IN the face and fell I'd
the floor. A surgeon from the German
hospital. who happened to be dining IN
the cafe pushed his way through tho
crowd He saw at once that the man
was dying and that II prompt meas
ures were not taken he would quickly
euccumb. He ordered one Of the waltz
ers TO bring him a small funneh such
as Is used IN bottling wine and then.
without a moments hesitation, took
out a sharp knife. cut the mans throat,
removed the piece Of meat and-tha
waiter having returned quickly in
serted the funnel IN the opening. The
man was then hastily conveyed to the
hospital, where silver ribe was In
serted IN the place OF the funnel, and

Germnn nnbr,n swnths.

OF all housewives In Europe probably
the German is the hardest worked, and
Of all European mothers the German
practices most completely the art OF
swathing and padding her baby and Of
putting It on the shelf. The German
baby Is swaddled in a long, narrow
pillow, which is made to meet COM
pletely round him, being tucked up
over his feet and turned under his sol
emn chin. Three bands Of gay blue
ribbons are then passed round the
whole bundle and tied in large, horid
bows about where his chest. his waist
and his ankles may be supposed to be.
In this guise he can be deposited as
an ornament either on the sumptuous
best bed or on the kitchen dresser or
on the drawing room table. How fond
the Germans are Of this presentment Of
baby may be guessed from the fact
that 1t figures largely In their picture

That new woman Of India, Pundita
Ramabai, deplores the spread Of the so
called Hindoo philosophy among the
women of America. She says if shey

to accomplish the thing undertaken are
friends that will insure success. The

In life as possible TO pick out the

many cases II Will be found that the
greatest enemy resides within himself.

OUR ENORMOUS EGG CROP

The egg and poultry earnings OF
the United States for one recent
year amounted to $3.50, 600, 600.
Such an amount is sufficiently
amazing as it stands, but you don't
get its full significance until you
study the relative financial values OF
other "lndustrials." We find, for
instance, that the total value of gold,
silver, wool and sheep produced in
America during the year in question
was S272, 434,3I5. The sugar pro-
duction the same year was but $40, =
900. 900. That part Of the wheat
crop used at home, which many
consider the most valuable OF all
our agricultural products, was worth
$22o, 900, 600. The great American
hog, as consumed at home aud
abroad, brought $3.50, ,sao,o35. The
value of the oats crop was S78,-
oS4,ooo. Potatoes grown in the
United States were valued at nearly
as large a sum as were oats. The
product OF tobacco plantations was
estimated to be worth $3Ss7S.a35.
Cotton, the dethroned king of sta
pies, could show only Saso,I6I, GAO
as against the magnificent earnings
of its feathered rival. The crops Of
fax, timothy, clover, millet and
cane seeds, broom corn, castor
beans, hay, straw, and so forth,
couldn't all told, come within a
distance of many mil.
lions Of the poultry earnings.
The hens eggs produced in this
country annually would fll 43,G27,-
900 crates, each of the latter hold
ing 600 eggs; also a train of refrig-
orator cars to carry these eggs would
be nearly 600 miles long. Further
more, 1t would take Io7,8I8 such
cars to make up this train.
