APLOT IN PARIS.

All the smart swindlers don't live and work in this country. Enjoying the cool of the evening in front of his sau- sages, a pork butcher of the Latin Quarter in Paris was spoken to by piteous Italian boy with a violin. Mother and sister were supperlesS i'll their garret, and not sou had the poor little musician made that day. If he left his violin as pledge, would not the pork butcher let him have string of sausages? The compassionate tradesman agreed at once, and the boy, handing over his instrument, went off with a plentiful supper. The next day 8 well-dressed man, happening to look in at the shop, saw the violin, examined it and started back in surprise. Did the pork butcher know what a treasure he had? It was 8 Stradivarius, worth any amount. Having heard the story of the Italian boy, the amateur pro- posed that the tradesman should buy the instrument. If he got it for 15Of. it would be dirt cheap, and the amateur himself could sell it for him afterward for ten times that amount. The boy came to pay for his sausages and claim the violin. ''Sell it." he exclaimed, when asked by the pork butcher; ''nev- CT, for it was the only treasure left him by his grandfather, to whose grand father it had belonged before that" At last, however, having gone home to con- suit his mother, he agreed, and, en- bracing his beloved violin, with tears in his eyes, parted with it for &6. The supposed amateur never turned up. The pork butcher took the violin to deal CT, who pronounced it to be worth 2s. lid.
 We do not suppose that such a swim dle could be worked in New Haven certainly not now, when they know about 1t.

ONE OF THE CHANGES.

Many things are going on in this wide, wide world which one doesn't think about until his attention is call ed to them. For instance, in Europe, and especially in France, there has been for the past three years a steady increase in the price of shoes and other kinds of footwear. This has been at- tributed to Several causes working tor gether at the same time, but mainly to the increase in the price of material For two consecutive years rainy sea- sons have brought about extraordinary mortality among the cattle of South America, whence comes to Europe a large number Of hides. On the other hand, it must be noticed that the wearing of leather footwear, for twenty years, has been more and more extend- ed, the traditional shoes of the peas- ants having been abandoned by those who had been familiarized with leath- CT shoes in military services. Automo- billing itself exercises also some infiu- ence in that direction, as in many others. Vests, caps and trousers of chauffeurs are made in soft leather. To these causes of the scarcity in the production and extension of the con- sumption which absorbs the accumulat- ed stocks must be added the Russo Japanese war. It takes large quan- tity of leather and leather goods to constitute the equipment of such armies of a million of men.
 Judging from the summer sales of shoes in New Haven there is no scar city of leather around here.

The New Orleans States sounds a needed warning for the benefit of cer- tain southern business men whose names are now prominent in the news papers. In the article, entitled Be ware of Cbestiness," the States says:
 The whole country freely admits that the Southern Cotton Growers associa- ton has done good work in unearthing the crooked use which Holmes and his 8confederates made of the cotton esti- mates, but we observe that while the pubic gives President Jordan and
 Secretary Cheatham full credit for ex- posing the corruption in the bureau of statistics it is not favorably impressed
 by the ''chesty" attitude which those officers of the association have assum- ed We noted with regret sometime ago that they were disposed to talk too much and to demand too much, and we feared they would lay themselves open to the charge of impertinence and at- tempting to control the work of a gov .ernment department.

FAITHFUL WOUNDS BY 4 FRIEND


 Lady Colin Campbell has come to the solemn and solemnizing conclusion that women are responsible for the deca- dence of home life. The woman is the recognized homemaker, and when she fails to make home there can be no home. For some reason or another a man cannot make home, and if woman does not make one for him he is as homeless as a stray dog.
 "Tho wife doesn't attempt nowa- days" says Lady Colin, Ito become the comrade of her husband. She thinks her duties fulfilled when she has seen to the ordering of the dinner. The rest of her time she tries to kill as best she

Now that Italy is making such strides in manufacturing, her young and alert men will be doub- ly interested in American business methods"

At a recent meeting in Muskogee. Indian Territory, regarding statehood, one of the orators was General Pleas ant Porter, the big man of the Creeks. { If the Muslzogee Times is to be believ- ed, the Indian is something of a speech maker, It says: Ut was eloquent and oratory as clear, as convincing, as the crown orations of Demosthenes, as log i6al as the Pnilippics, and it's patriotism was as pure as that of Pericles Only in the long intervals do people hear men make such speeches. Only in the dying throes of liberty, or the renun- citation of power, or the sacrifice of a tribal government, could man talk as Chief Porter talked. It was an epic. it was a thesis on government, it was a sweeping, torrential expression of the heart feeling, all combined and clothed in glorious imagery and spoken in pro- phetic fervor."

The oldest diary in existence is said to be that preserved in the Japanese family of Hozaka. It has been duly maintained by the various heads of the family for four centuries. An English commentator notes that about twenty years ago a dispute over precedence arose between two branches of the fam fly and that this was promptly settled by recourse to the diary and the dis covery of the record of a dinner given two or three hundred years ago by the head of the family to the founder of the side line.

Looking Backward.

The superstition of the i'll luck OF
looking backward or returning is a
very ancient one, originating doubt
less from Lots wife, who looked
back from behind him" when he was
led by an angel outside the doomed
city of the plain. In Roberts "Ori-
entail Illustrations" it is stated to be
considered exceedingly unfortunate
in Hindustan for men or women to
look back when they leave their
houses. Accordingly if a man goes
out and IcaTes something behind
him which his wife knows he will
want she does not call him to turn
