PENSIONING THE AGED.
What the French Government Has
Done in the Matter.

THE aged are generally held in respect
but not more so than in the United States"
So says United States Consul General
Gowdy at Paris, In a report IN regard to the
care of the aged in France. For more
than half century the French government
has been experimenting with schemes for
pensioning the aged, but not with entire
success. The law now in force. which was
adopted in 1895, is not altogether satisfac-
tory and viii probably be amended in the
near future
At the present time deposits are received
from any person, regardless of age, but the
amount may not exceed 500 francs 1896 50l
in the course of a year. An account may be
opened for a child of three years of age: a
married woman may deposit money without
fifty and sixty-five Tor earlier In case of
permanent disability to work. the depositoe
may claim his annuity, which is calculated
according to the amount of his deposit and
interest and the probabilities of life, but
the annuity may not exceed 100 francs
(S231 Coz.
In rural districts the tax gatherer is en-
powered to receive deposits, and in many
factories certain percentage is deducted
from the wages and paid TO the Caisse in
the workmans name. a branch of ths
CaisSe may be founded in any town Wis
lage. with the permission of the project
of the department. and there about
$500 of such branches, with nearly 10000
deoositors.
There are several large institutions for
the of the INDECENT aged. Some OF
these are free and at others small charge
is made for board and lodging At Issys
near Paris, is an institution for widowers,
widows or married couples, of whom both
are over siXty-five years of age and who
have been married at least fifteen years.
There many small institutions founded
by private persons for old officials at some
of which the charge is high as $3.50 a
year Some religious orders still shelter
a few aged persons, either gratuitously OF
al "a small sum per annum.

Tan-Colored Rubber Overshoes.
om the PhlIadelphla Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
An authority on attire says a late fad
which is likely to become popular this
spring. especially with women, is the tam
colored rubber overshoe. These rubbers
are, OF course, intended to be worn with
tan-colored shoes, and they are. for some
mysterious reason more nearly invis BILE
on a tan shoe, If the shades are the same,
than a black rubber is on a black shoe.
"When you come TO think of it, says the
authority quoted. ITS queer the tan rub
black rubber on a tan shoe certainly does
make the feet unduly conspicuous a
muddy day. 1 suppose the makers never
believed that the tan shoe had come TO
stay, but now that its permanence seems
assured they are making rubbers TO match.

Wife's Initials on Her Own Carriage.

Now that spring is here my ladys mind
is turning to thoughts of new carriages, in
which she may take her airing. Automo-
biles go on increasing in popularity, of
course, but when 1t comes to the balmy
days of spring most women prefer to lean
back against the comfortable cushions of
a victoria and are willing to rest from the
strenuous auto life 1t is noticed that the
carriage set aside for madame's exclusive
use is lettered differently from the
hicles that are family property. Instead
Of having the crest or monogram Of her
lord and master on it's door, and on the
trappings of the horses she uses her own

HOME FROM THE FAIR.

James Goodwin recently returned
from the fair at Portland after being
absent for some time and taking in a
number of other interesting places
while away. He was a member Of the
Trans Mississippi Commercial congress
and took an active part in the work
there. 1t was largely through his eff
forts that the following clause in a re-
solution passed by the congress oc-
curved:
The fundamental principle of the
American republic is that of self-gov-
crument and no body of American citi-
zens should be deprived of that right.
We therefore recommend the early ad-
mission Of all of the remaining terri
tories as states and the establishment
OF a territorial form of government for
Alaska.
in TIE above clause it was Mr.. Good
wins intention to nave the word sep
aratc" appear in connection with the
admission Of the remaining territories;
that is. that the territories should be
admitted as separate states but on ac-
count of an objection from a member
from Oklahoma. the word was admitted
/ That however. makes little difference
as IT is very easy to see how the con
! -ress felt regarding the admission OF
! the territories.

NOT A BEAR.

Two young men from the South
Side returned Friday from a few days
camping experience in the vicinity
of Panther run. and had q rather un-
usual and alarming experience on
Thursday night. They were awaken
ed by a tremendous rustling and bang
ing in the bushes. accompanied by
noise that they could attribute to no
no other animal of less proportions
than a full grown bear. They shin
ned up convenient tree and waited
for the dangerous beast to so away
after he had had his fill of the camp
larder. In short time they saw that
the disturbance was caused by an
animal much smaller than u bear. but
of unusual shape. They "sUTrounded'
it and found that it was 4 ground
hog. with it's head fast in tin can.
The animal had gotten its head in a
can. but could not withdraw it on
account of the jagged edges OF the
in cover. The rustling had been caus-
ed by its blind beating against brush,
trees and other obstacles, and the
"growIs' were the squealing and
whistlng of the frightened weather
prophet. intensified by the hollow
sphere in which his head was in
ed-Ou CITY Derrick.

THE COSTUME OF MRS. GETslNc-
Err, BAHAIST.

For nearly a year Mrs. Getsinger !
remained at Acca, a member of the !
household of 1.-THE Master While
there she receive daily instructions. |
When she was about TO leave to take
up her work, Abdul Baha-A bbas gave
her this charge:
Never permit yourself to want what
you do not need When your wants
become needs, you will always find
them supplied. for your Father knows
what is necessary and will give il To
You. Dress in such a way ,hat your
outward appearance viii be a comfort
to the poor and an example to the
rich. Let it be uniform. that your APP
pearance may be a symbol signifying
your recognition of material things as
merely temporary necessities.
After considering the matter. a cos
tune was designed which, in iong.
graceful lines. follows the figure from
throat to feet, and is at once simple,
comfortable, attractive and ineXpen-
sive. With the small, close bonnet is
worn a vel; which serves, as do the
wells of Persian women, as a ligh-
wrap about the neck. \ small locket
of gold, in the form Of an open circle,
which signifies the power of God,
having neither beginning nor end. was
I
/ she always wears.
In speaking of her costume, Mrs.
| Getsinger says that to dress as she
, does is a saving of at least one-third
! OF her time that II adds more than can
| be estimated to her comfort and
| health. and that she could not be in
/ duced again to wear the garments
usually worn by women, adding:
IF each woman would adopt some
! simple. becoming style of dress suited
to her needs, her purse and her health
/ she would be much more attractive
/ than in fashionable costumes, could
accomplish almost anything she might
choose to undertake; young men could
/ then afford TO marry, and the world
/ would become a better place to live
in. Two costumes. or a. most, three
a year. are quite sufficient. I get
about and journey easily. as l am not

Arizona. The Arizona people, however,
are not the only ones to suffer though
probably the damage to them Is OF
much more Importance than II could
possibly be TO any of the south side
canals for during the summer there has
been plenty of water here. This time
the flood took out a good sized piece
of the Tempe canal dam and yesteT-
day Superintendent Cook estimated
that probably there was a space of at
least q hundred and twenty-five tee-
gone and there is still plenty of water
running: much more than there would
be ordinarily for the reason that the
Arizona canal is practically dry and the
water that would be taken by that can
al is now coming down the river and
il adds considerably to its size. Below
The dam. between it and the head gate,
there was also little damage done
but nothing of serious nature.
Mr.. Crook was in town yesterday
looking up the teams and men to go ["
work on the dam in the morning. he
figures that If he can secure about ten
teams and twice that many men he can
have the damage repaired by the latter
part Of the week, perhaps sooner. 1t
depends altogether on how the river
behaves Yesterday he waded out into
the break a short distance and the Wa
ter. came above his waist and was al
most too swift for him to stand in 1t
and there is no way of telling how deep
it is in the center Of the break. The
damage occurred to the south end Of
the dam.

BRAIN EXERCISE LENGTHENS
LIFE.

According to the London Evening
News some remarkable statements as
to the effect of brain exercise on the
duration OF life were made by DR..
Duke in a case that came before Mr.
Justice Swinfen Eady, recently.
"One-third of the laborers in rural
districts die from softenins Of the
brain" said the doctor. The cause of
the disease is lack of brain exercise.
The intellect of the rural laborer rusts
rather than wears oUs and when he
attains the age of IS or 20, he usually
dies Of appoplexy or something Of that
kind"
In support of his theory, the doctor
said that judges. whose thinking ca
pacity was continually employed, lived
longer than the average Iaborer.

Sometimes Help the Hair to Go.
In any changeable climate the nair IS
apt to become brittle and break OF
stubby here and there. This makes
hair dressing almost a necessity, espe-
cialIy to ladies. In using u hair dress
ing why not get the best one that COM
bfnes with the efficiency in killing the
dandruff germ, the germ that eats the
nair off at the roots. causing what Is
called falling hair and in time bald
ness. Newb:o's "Herpicide" is that
kind of a hair dressing. You have no
idea how delightful your scalp will feel
and how stylish your hair will appear
after an application or two of Herpl-
