Ba.xed the Bandits.

When Macmillan was emperor OF
Mexico the country was oyerrun with
train robbers. They marched about in
large bands, tore UP the tracks and
robbed everybody. One day the train
from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico
was bounding gayly along, the FIVE
coaches filed with hidalgoes, poems.
market women and farmers. Suddenly
it came to a standstiIl. The train
guard cried out, 'cBandittew Sure
enough, on either side of the road the
ragged but desperate ruflans We're
lined up. Suddenly hidalgoes, poems,
market women and farmers arose.
There were a binding fash and deaf
ening volley from both sides of the
car. and 100 of the bandits fell dead.
while the 500 zouaves, disguised in the
costumes Of the country, turned out OF
the cars, pursued the flying robbers
and killed every one.

GREAT WEALTH or
FRENCH NATION
is DIVIDED AMONG THE MUL'
TITUDE-FEW MILLioNAIRES
IN THE COUNTRY.
New York SUM-


In France a man is called a million
aire if he is the possessor of 1,000.OOO
francs, or, in other words, has proper
ty worth $193, 900. According to re-
cent computation by lie Renter the
French financial newspaper, there are
not 10000 persons in France who have
that amount of property, though there
are possibly ten persons in the country
who have fortunes of $19,000,000 or
more. All the holders of great for
tunes may easily be mentioned by
name; only about 100 persons are
worth between $4,000 and 100000
600. and 10000 have accumulated or
inherited property valued at from
$193 900 to $3S6,000. That is, France
has very few rich citizens. The French
republic has a vast number of little
savings.
This distribution of wealth in France
is indicated by the facts that in 1902
there was left by persons dying prop
erty of the value of S921,000. 600; but
of the 3,612 inheritances distributed
in that year more than 100000 con.
sisted of sums ranging from 20 cents to
1880. About two-thirds of the prop
erty to be distributed was in sums of
5000 to $500. The large inheritances.
from about $4,000 to $1,000 rem
scented only 0.0& per cent of the { e 4.
amount, and the property to be g. nd
ed amounting to more than 100000
represented less than 0.01 per cent of
the total value. If we go through the
entire field of French industry we
shall see that in the shop, the factory
and on the farm the man of small
means in the aggregate is the moving
impulse in French enterprise. France
occupies only One-eighteenth of the
surface of Europe, and its area is only
a little over One-fifteenth that of this
country, but there are as many farm
properties in little France as there
are in our wide domain.

TOYS OR FIzz-JIGs?
Isn't the ChiId's Preference for the
Former Plain and UnmistakabIe?

tBOSt0n Evening Transcript
Pending the investigation of the
toy question by some learned society
or sociological expert which we should
suppose must be certain to take place,
we venture to suggest one probable
conclusion OF such investigation. and
| TO submit the question of its sound
ness to those of our readers who as
result Of Christmas are in position
10 observe the varying effects OF tne
I different kinds Of toys upon the tenn
per- happiness and general we1l-being
OF the viCtlm-we mean the recIpl-
ents.
The conclusion which we thus sub
nit is that what children want is toys
and not -ligs-tnings that they can
play with, not things of the song and
Gance variety, solo artists that need
to be wound up and then do all the
playing for themselves. What a child
wants from his toys is not primarily
entertainments, but expression; the
expression of his own faculties, not
the expression of the ingenuity of the
clever man who made the toy. TOYS
are accordingly welcomed to him are
treasured, and become a part of his

TO his hand and mind in proportion.
as he can build with them or use
them in the drama of which so great
part OF his play consists. Sand is
the most popular play material with
very small children; then come blocks
then a variety of objects, but always
such as the child can do things with
up to the football or baseball of col
lege sport.
A doll that could dance ragtime and
whistle Hail Columbia" would not
be SO popular, after the first five
minutes, as a clothespin in a bit of
rag. The mechanical marvel is good
when ragtime and Hail Columbia"
are wanted-that is, fairly good, not
quite so good as she would be if she
did not provide the music and dane
ing for herself. All the rest of the
time she is wholly and perfectly use
less. The rag doll, on the other
hand. has endless possibilities. Like
the American girl. she is fit for any
part, and will adorn any station in
life, from cook to princess. as if she
had been born to it. And such must
real doll be, or lose her job. for life
IS varied and exacting. and one doll
IN her time plays many parts.

CAT STEW is QUITE NICE
WHEN CLEvERLY PREPARED
Pussy is Very Appetizing, as Are Also
SnaiIs and Rats if Properly Sea-
SOned and Cooked.
(London Globe.)

The popular prejudice against snails
is incomprehensible when the favor OF
oysters, periwinkles, mussels and
cookies is considered. In many Lon.
don restaurants, particularly in Soho,
snails now figure on the daily menu.
This is an imported taste from France
but in the West Country snails are
highly esteemed by the lower classes.
A year or two ago Clergyman cited
as an illustration of poverty in Bristol
that he had seen working girls pick
snails off wall and eat them.
AS matter of fact, the snail is ex-
tensively eaten in Somerset and CLIQUE
estershire, both as a dainty and medi-
cine. There are men who make liv-
ing by collecting snails and selling
them under the name of wall fish. -
Boiled in their shells, they are picked
out and eaten with bread and butter,
being accounted a great luxury and
very nourishing. In pulmonary dis
eases they probably rank as specific
Frogs Another Dainty.
Frogs are another dainty which pref
udice denies to the Englishman, though
III AhC OA4lGu DldtGS anu NdHdud IHGy
are esteemed as highly as in France.
Spasmodically a sturgeon is offered for
sale in London, and the accident of its
capture affords a novel dish which
should not be passed by, for it is gen.
orally sold at eight pence per pound.
Cut and cooked as a outlet it tastes
like veal, without a suspicion of fish
about it.
In Germany bears flesh is greatly
favored, and smoked bear tongues,
hams and sausages are both appetizing
and expensive. Ever since Paris. in
the siege of 1901. was driven to
eating up the animals at the zoo,
camels flesh has been demanded by
French gourmets. Remarkably like
beef in appearance it is as tender as
veal, and there are Parisians who i'm
port it regularly from Algeria On the
same testimony, lion steaks are re-
ported TO be only moderate eating,
while tiger is both tough and sineWy.
Jaguar flesh. however, is delightfully."-
white and toOthsome, and alligators
and crocOdiles provide a meal of the
most delicate flavor, midway between
that of veal and pork.
Goat Flesh Good.
Beef and mutton, with pork. so en-
tirely make up the menu that we act
ually regard lamb and veal as distinct
dishes. Why should not goat flesh be
introduced INFO the bill of fare? 1t is
good eating, as Robinson Crusoe and
Don Juan testify. In France it is
largely eaten. Paris alone requiring
100000 goats annually for the table.

Though a hippopagic banquet ar

as food. In reality /; is very excellent

Compliments For a Pensacola Firm.
The journal has frequently COM
mented on the. advertising ability of
H. P. Newman, manager of the Meyer
Shoe Co., and many others in Pensa-
cola have done likewise. Mr.. Neuman
is now in receipt of a very compli-
mentary letter from The Illustrated
Footwear-Fsshion. a magazine pub
lished in Boston in the interest of shoe
dealers all over the country. The
Journal publishes the letter with
pleasure:

interest your shoe advertisement

cola, Fla. of January IL, 1905. Your

daily lives, as all public questions
Should be teSted-tO secure popular
support for any genuine reform move
ment. The masses are intelligent
and honest. They can have no pos
Sible interest in bad government.
They naturally look with suspicion
on political or governmental methods
that require secrecy or explanations
not easily understood. They want
the truth. They want publicity. They
want sincerity and simplicity. They
want policies which apply to their
hard, every day lives, not academic
discussion.
Il took that view when / appealed
to the people of Massachusetts on the
tariff and trust issues, and their re-
spouse at the polls shows that my
confidence was not misplaced. | ap-
pealed to the people who really work,
both rich and poor, and when l point
ed out facts which they could them
selves investigate and prove-a 81
per cent increase in the cost of living
and an increase of only IL per cent Ia
wages--they recognized and under
stood the issues clearly; they saw and
appreciated what a 'stand-pat' high
tariff and a refusal to enter into re-
ciprOcal trade relations with Canada
and other countries really means now
and for the future"
That was all he had to say. He
wanted to save the rest for the Mass
achUsetts legislature. to which he will
appeal for an investigation of indus
trial and economic conditions gener-
ally, so that the commonwealth may
present to Congress and the Presi-
dent facts in support of the demand
for a lower tariff and for reciprocity
treaties. Here is summary of the
situation which he recently wrote:
The average tariff tax per family
paid in 1903 was about Sill for the
United States. But of this tax only
S16.42 went TO the government. More
than $94 of it went to the trusts AMI
other protected interests. Massa-
chusetts alone paid out more than
S65, O00,O00 last year for the benefit
of the trusts.
"NOw. in the last few years the
cost of living in the United States has
been increased SO or 81 per cent,
while wages, where they have been
raised at all, have been raised
on an average of about 10 or
il per cent. In 1903 about S25O0O
600 was paid in wages to about $685.
600 workers in Massachusetts. The
average earning capacity, then, was
about $471.23 a year, or $9.06 a week |
Now, then, if our manufacturers could |
save 81 100000 on materials they
could pay 81 100000 more in wages
and manufacture goods at the same
cost as at the present. That is, they
could afford to raise wages about 80 !
per cent and not make the goods cost
any more than at the present"

Cat is Misjudsed.
''It was in Paris" wrote Mr. Van
dam, the author of AN Englishman in
Paris, that learned how the cat had
been misjudged. Call the dog the
friend of the man if You like,
but don't eat him. Fry him, stew him,
boil or bake him. do what you will, his
flesh remains oily and fabby, with
a strong flavor of castor oil. But
! declare that steWed puss is far finer
than stewed rabbit"
This testimony the writer can per-
sonally corroborate, having recently
been invited to a dinner given by a
gourmet of eccentric tastes. The dish
or the evening was "Chat aux Cham
plgnons." Soaked in white vinegar
Win aromatic herbs, and cooked in
red wine, the cat made a most savory
dish, and after the prejudice of the
hrst mouthful, one was bound to admit
Its succulence and favor. The same
verdict must be given for rat pie by
any who have eaten it. Al thrashing
