rho President of France rs Kitchen Maid
to His Mother.


to His Mother.
"The private secretary Of President
Loubet told me of one Of his frequent
visits to his mother" says Vance
Thompson in Everybody's Magazine.
1T was between two stormy sessions
of the Chamber Of Deputies. l sup
pose the destiny of France hung in the
balance, for, in fact, the destiny of
France always does hang in the bal
ance. In the peaceful interval, Loubet
slipped down to Marsanne and walked
out to the farm. The good dame was
in the huge, brick -fioored kitchen,
kneading bread for the fortnightly
baking. She flung her doughty arms
around his neck and kissed him.
"'Really, MOTHER said the Presi-
dent, you should give over this heavy
work.
"'And trust some slatternly maid?
cried the old dame, mo, no-but must
admit 1t is not so easy to me-
"'Well, to-day you must trust me-
her son said, so sit down and fold
your hands and talk to me-
"He took off his coat, rolled up his
shirt-sleeves and kneaded the bread,
while the good mother told him the
news and gossip of the farm. This
is the sort of thing that Emile Loubet
would do quite naturally. Lincoln
might have done it, too. Having
kneaded the bread, Monsieur Loubet
returned by special train to Paris and
went on saving France"

The Danger of Dust.

One other cause of illness prevalent
in hot, dry weather is dust, and this,
with a little attention, might be abat-
ed. The usual practice of municipal
authorities is still to sweep the perfect
ly dry and dust-laden streets in the
small and early morning hours by
means of powerful machine brushes,
with the net result that the dust-at
least, it's finer particles-is sent whirl-
ing into the air only to fall again; the
particles are rearranged, not removed.
The problem has been solved in the
cities of London, Westminster and
Paris, and perhaps in others, by wash
ing the streets in the early morning
and sweeping them afterward if nee
essary. This insures the removal Of
the dust without playing at the eternal
Sisyphus-like task of stirring up over
and over again the same dust particles,
a sort of ''scavenger's labor lost" With
regard to country roads, the plan OF
applying a chemical substance greedy
Of water, such as calcium chloride, to
the roadway has been tried with adj

ton containing this substance, has

There is no sweeter word in human
speech than liberty, no finer thought In
human mind, no richer gift in human life:
What is freedom? Independence of
law? So many think. But they are mis-
taken. He who imagines freedom con-
sists in getting rid of law is totally and ia
tally wrong.
We offer the Ten Commandments to a,
man for his moral code. He rejects the
code, saying, II will be bound by no ia
BILE of laws, / am free" He is not free.
He may as well reject the multiplication
table or the law of gravitation.
81 will be enslaved by no creed" En-
shaved by creed? Creeds do not en-
slave; they are declarations of religious
independence, proclamations of enamel
patton. affirmations of freedom. A creed
is much like political platform-a state
ment of opinions. No one platform ever
contained all the political opinions of the
men who adopted it. No one creed ever
contained all the religious opinions of its
adherents. 1t is at best only an attempt
to state the essential doctrines in which
its makers agree.
A bird is free in the air. The air is its
element. A fish is free in the water. Wa
ter is it's element. Man is free in obedi-
ence to the laws of his being. The Bible
contains these laws. Moral Judgment con-
firms them. Conscience approves when we
observe them, accuses us when we violate
them. A man who persists in sin rs as
truly out of his element as trout in
the air or a sparrow in water. And the
end is the same when any living creature
gets out of its element, out of harmony
with law-the penalty is death.
But an intervening hand may restore
the fish and the bird to their elements2
Yes. And is there no hand to restore a
lost man to his element? Christ is Gods
makes free, he is free indeed. "-Philadel-
mia LEDGER.

Polite Conductors i'm Berlin.

One of the beauties of life abroad
is the kind attention lavished upon
you by public servants. Take, for eX-
ample, the street car conductors in
corner, as with us, but make a run of
three blocks without stopping. When
the conductor sees passengers about
to enter his car, he steps off, and, re-
moving his cap respectfully, waits till
all are seated, when he jumps on and
gives the forward signal. With each
collected fare he offers a ticket for the
passenger to retain and exhibit on de-
mand SIS evidence that the fare has
been paid.-New York Press.

Exotic Evergreens.

When you compare the climates Of
Old and New England the wonder is,
not that box hedge fails, but that any
evergreen from England succeeds
here. The only place in the United
States that has q climate like that of
England is the coast of Oregon, while
the climate of New England is COM
parable to that of Manchuria and
Korea, to which countries we should
look for broad leaved evergreen to
displace box. The difference between
the mean temperatures in January and
July is only fifteen degrees in England,
whereas it is forty-two in New York,
and New England sometimes jumps
from sixty degrees above to twenty de-
grees below inside of three days. The
winter winds of England being the
warm, moist air of the Gulf Stream,
while ours are from the cold, dry inte-
rior of the continent, these winds dry
out the foliage of broad !eaved ever
green's, and, the roots being frozen,
they cannot send sap to the leaves.
Consequently, the foliage gets dingy or
yellow. 1t is doubtful whether we
shall ever have any really first-class
broad leaved evergreens for such con-
ditions. Practically all our northern
evergreens have needle leaves, except
the bayberry Life in Amer
lea.

Pray Not Alone For Self.

a gentleman who was travelling in Ire
land sat down one day in a cottage to talk
with an old woman. As they were having
their "dish Of discourse" there came clap
of thunder, and the old woman at once
spread out her hands in supplication, cry
ing:
God bless and save usl And save his
honor, and save the people and all of us!''
For the space of hall an hour the thun-
der was frequent, and each time she
prayed Then she told the visitor this
story, which has good moral in its defn-
ing Of the proper spirit which should be-
long to prayer:
"There was a man, and he was working
in field like, and it came on to thunder,
and he put his head in hole in the wall
and he said:
'''God save what's out O. met
''But he ought to have prayed for the
whole of him, for he no sooner said that
than the wall fell and took his head off.
at was telled to me that this was a
Judgment on the crathur, because it is not
right to pray small, just for yourself. But
you should pray large-to save us all-pray
big and open hearted. But that may be
only story, sir"

NEW ROUTE TO SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA.


With the opening of the line across
southern Utah and southwest Nevada.
known as the San Pedro Route, a new
country has been opened, which in area
is large enough for a good sized empire,
the natural resources of which are prac-
tically untouched. This region has until
now been without railway facilities, and
are such that rapid development is now
assured. The Tonopah and Goldfield
mining camps are to be reached by
branch lines, and there is a strong posi-
bility that other mineral districts will be
discovered and developed as a result of
this new enterprise.
The facilities with which Southern
California and this newly opened portion
OF Nevada can be reached in future are
indicated by the announcement from the
passenger department of the Chicago 3
Northwestern R'y that daily service
of through Pullman tourist sleeping cars
via this route is to be inaugurated be-
tween Chicago and Los Angeles in few
days, which will doubtless lead to a
large. influx of people looking for oppor-
tunities to establish themselves in this
new country, where homes are cheap,
work is plentiful, and men of vim and
grit are in demand something unknown
In the densely populated cities of the east.
There is some beautiful scenery along
the new route, particularly in what is
known as Rainbow Canon; and the cit
rus fruit region of Southern California is
reached near San Bernardino, the road
leading from that point through River
side and Pomona, and other towns in
one of the greatest orange growing dis
tricts in the world.
1t is expected that with the opening of
the Southern California tourist season this
fall, large amount of travel will be
handled via this route, for the manage
ment of the new road, fully alive to
modern travel requirements, have put in
effect very handsome service of modern
vestibule trains. with high class dining
car service and other travel comforts,
which connect at Salt Lake and Ogden
with through service from the East, and
give new and interesting route by
which first class tourist travel can reach
the sunshine and flowers of this New
World Riviera.
