TAKE TO AMERICAN WAYS

Ar,mtoeracx Beginning to Realise That Tt Is No Disgrace to Work. Paris Letter.
 The French aristocracy are fast be- coming Americanized. Evidences of the American ideas which are taking hold of our nobility are continually lcronuing up. Titled Frenchman are be- gining to realize that 1t is not dis grace to work. and that the mere fact of a mans earning money does not cost him his social position. That is 1 to say does not cost 1t now, though a | few years ago nobleman who went into business was considered to nave committed an unpardonable social sin Tn former times one profession only was open to gentlemen; they entered the army; one career possible, that of Irisking their lives for their king. Now adays we have no kings. and noble men have to seek another occupation Little by little it has dawned upon l them that they too. like ordinary nor taIs, must needs work for a living Iand that the object of all men was to | get through life with the most possi- | ble money. Ten years ago count or | rnarauis would have blushed to be found living in factory. Not only do these same men lodge in factories now, but they run them as well. They stiu march at the head of their men
 but their companies are differently lengaged.
 Tine due de Doudeauville is the pro- urietor of one of the largest and most lprosperous china, factories in France but he remains. nevertheless. one
 among the ranks of our, greatest noble
 men.
 Count de Kergolay is at the head of ian automobile factory. The Marquis lde Dion long ago made the motor cars (which bear his name famous. Youns Count de Lubersac started, and has successfully managed string factory Count de Chabane has settled on higE plateau ih Algeria, and there, in com pany with his young and charming wife. who was Mademoiselle Canaby he manages a colossal vineyard. Tht
 due de Valenary directs the same kinC
 of enterprise in Tunis Count de Bri ldade has established a huge bottle fac
 tory at Felenbray.
 When men bearing such names al the above decide to put their shoulder to the blow, as 1t were. it may be sait lof them and their country. that theS lare fast passing from the aristocrati' to the democratic stage. There is n' tdoubt about 1t, the French nobility ar' becoming decidedly Americanized, ant lit is none too soon.

Too Valuable Now to Be Put tO the
 Uses 1t Once Served.
 Many are the uses of sawdust. In the days when the sawdust wagon made its numbering rounds through the streets of most large cities two commercial uses of sawdust were to sprinkle floors and to shelter lead pipes from cold and glass bottles from breakage.
 Near every saw mill was a vat for the sawdust and 1t was carted away free by any one who had any use for it. In this era of the use of by products sawdust has a commercial value. It Is no longer given away, but Is sold.
 One of the recent uses of sawdust Is it's 'distillation, resulting in acetic acid, wood naphtha, wOd alcohol and tar. Sawdust may also be burned in special furnaces or mixed with other material for fuel
 Sawdust. when saturated with chemi- calls, can be effectively used in the manufacture of explosives, but it is more particularly in demand in paper making than for any other purpose Such a thing as sawdust on the floor of a room as a substitute for rug or carpet is now practically unknown Sawdust has joined sand in this par ticular.
 Cotton felt has been substituted for sawdust as a non-conductor of cold in winter Gas can be made from saw dust. It is also used for briquettes, l. c., blocks of compressed sawdust and wood chips burned for fuel Even in the protection of glassware against breakage sawdust has been superseded by excelsior, sawdust being regarded as too valuable for such purposes.
