The Class Problem In France,

Almost physlOlogically, certainly so
cially. the millions of French work
men stand over against property hold
ers In a way to which there Is nothing
comparable In the northern and west
ern United States, with all their labor
difficulties. They form a separate
class In society because French prop
erty holders form an exclusive caste.
And now there Is a spontaneous up
heaval of this excluded, unprivileged,
inferior class. The workmen have
caught up from the life around them
aspirations to social conditions which
circumstances forbid them to hope to
attain. All chance independence Of
money, all social rising Of petty trades
men and educated peasantry, the un-
yielding bourgeoisie steadily assimi-
lates to itself. But the entrance with
In its walls is by a painfully narrow
gate, and rarely indeed is 1t passed by
the Frenchman born to labor. The
American social experiment has so far
aimed at bringing every citizen, high
or low, within a ceaseless circulation
of classes. The workman Of today, or
at least his son, is the millionaire or
professional man or prosperous bust
ness man or ward politician of tomor-
row, and our workmen, in the immense
majority, are proud Of America and
feel they have their place in the sum-

STAG LEGENDS.

Ancient Stories of the Animals An
tipathy TO Snakes.
There is no beast in the world to
which more legendary virtues are at
tributed than the stag, partly owing
to the tale Of st. Hubert, partly to a
supposed antpathy Of stays toward
serpents, partly to peculiar mass of
gristle in the shape Of a cross which
Is found In the animals heart. "A
whole book might be written ON the
miraculous power of the heart and the
efficacy of different parts Of him
against the troubles Of this evil world.
Fouilloux, In the sixteenth century,
gives long list, and Master Robert
Topsel fills page upon page with them,
but our author In his solid English
fashion is chary Of accepting such
stories
Men say, he admits, that when q
stag is right old he beateth a serpent
with his foot till she be wroth, and
then eateth her, and then goeth to
drink, and then runneth hither and
thither till the water and venom be
meddled together, and maketh him cast
all his evil humors that he had In his
body, and maketh his flesh come all
anew. But, he adds, with the solemnity
Of Herodotus himself, Thereof make
none affirmation" And this phrase
occurs again and again. for the Comte
de Folk Is too great and noble hunter

The Juice of them pressed out and
