Thrift That Makes Wealth.

The public debt of France is S6,OOO,-
100000, all held ut home In addition
the French people own foreign securi-
ties to the stupendous aggregate OF
$50 0,0000OO, and 1T Is further estt
mated that an equal amount is placed
in home securities. These figures may
be exaggerated-aI but those repre-
senting the public debt-but they illus
trate the virtue there is in thrift, which
is also a German usage. There is no
Rockefeller, no Carnegie, in France,
though there may be lesser Russell
Sage. The French people do not spec
ulate; they save. They do not get rich
at hop, skip and jump; they accumu
late by slow degrees-they economic.
The crime of crimes in rural France is
waste and France would subsist on
what America throws away. Within
the past year there have rotted on
American farms enough machinery and
utensils to supply agricultural France
the next quarter of a century.-Wash-

Punxsutawney, Pa, Sept. 3. - Two
dead. one dying and two others
wounded, is the result of the riot with
Italians at Florence, seven miles from
here. One of the Italians is dead
another Is slightly wounded and two
are under arrest, while the house in
which the rioters barricaded them
selves is a wreck from dynamite used
by the troopers to dislodge the
rioters.
The dead are: John Henry of Phila-
delphia, private, shot through the
heart; Francis Vahringer of Consho-
hocken, a private, body riddled with
bullets, and rescued just before the
house-fort was destroyed; unidenti-
fed Italian, shot through the heart.
Homer c. Chambers of Rochester, Pa,
private, was fatally wounded. Ser
geant Joseph Logan of Dubois, who
was first reported among the injured
and whose attempt to make an arrest
led to the battle, was not hurt.
Logan went to Florence to arrest
an Italian charged with murder. In
stead of capturing the man Logan
tried to arrest two others who were
fighting. He went into the house
where the men boarded. An Italian
stabbed at Logan with stiletto, and
as he made his way from the house
he was fired at. Logan turned and
eTnptied his revolver into the door
way, then ran. Help was summoned
from the state constabulary headquar
tiers here, and five troopers were
sent to Logan's aid. As they ap
preached the house they were fired on
from almost every window. Henry fell
and the others retreated. Then two
privates, Chambers and Mullen ran
up to bring back their comrade, not
knowing he was dead. Mullen got
few bucl1shot through his right foot
Chambers received five shots, three in
his chest end two on the right side
OF his head. They staggered back,

Giving Him a Boost.

Members of the women's clubs nave
decided to take man in hand and do
a little plain and ornamental uplifting,
so that when he gets his name in the
papers it will be for some good deed
rather than the things for which he
acquires fame now provided he cannot
bride the editor.
1t has been common talk among the
neighbors for some time that an uplift,
even though Of only a few inches,
would improve man and make him
more nearly resemble the specifications
in the obituary notice.
Women are specially interested in
this grand work, for they not only have
to associate with the men, but they
must bring their children up in the
same house with them, and in many
instances the perverse children insist
on taking the unupfifted father as a
model. SO far man has not objected,
but he would like to know if the up
lift instrument is to be kind words or a
rolling pin.

An Unexpected Request.

The German empress recently had a
somewhat disconcerting experience.
While staying at one of the imperial
hunting castles in Alsace she paid a
visit to village school few miles from
Strassburg. Before leaving she gave
the pupils the customary permission to
ask any request they pleased, with the
promise that she would grant it if in
her power to do so. Fully expecting
the favor would take the form of a
whole holiday or a supply of cakes,
she was not little embarrassed when
one of the elder girls stood up and in
a somewhat trembling voice asked
that the French language might be
taught in that school. Her majesty
looked thoughtful. but, realizing the
necessity Of keeping her word, she
gave the required permission, to the
great delight of the pupils.

A RARE FIRST FOLIO.
What 1t Cost and What It's Presera
Value Should BE.


Seven years after the death of Shake
speare his collected works were pub
| lished in a large folio volume, now
known as "the first folio Shakespeare. !"
/ This was in the year 1923 The price
at which the volume was originally
sold was fl, but perhaps we ought to
/ take into consideration the fact that at
| that time money had value or pur-
| chasing power at least eight times that
| which it has at present. Halliwell- Phil
| lips estimates it at from twelve to
| twenty times its present value. For
| this circumstance. however, full allow
ance may be made by multiplying the
ultimate result by the proper number
This folio is regarded as the most
valuable printed book in the English
language, the last copy that was offer
ed for sale in good condition having
brought the record price of nearly
50 1000. so that it is safe to assume that
a perfect copy in the condition in
which it left the publishers hands
would readily command $4,000, and
the question now arises, What would
be the comparative value of the pres
ent price, $4,000, and of the original
price, Il, placed at interest and com
pounded every year since 1923?
Over and over again 1 have heard it
said that the purchasers of the first
folio had made a splendid investment,
and the remark is frequently used in
reference to the purchase of books in
general irrespective of the present in
tellectual use that may be made of
them. Let us make the comparison.
Money placed at compound interest
at per cent a little more than dou-
bles itself in twelve years. AT the
present time and for a few years back
per cent is high rate, but it is a
very low rate for the average. During
a large part of the time money brought
8, 10 and II per cent per annum, and
even within the half century just past
1t brought per cent during large
portion of the time. Now, between
1923 and 1899 there are twenty three
periods of twelve years each, and at
double progression the twenty-third
term, beginning with unity, would be
S,3SS, sos. This, therefore, would be the
amount in pounds which the volume
had cost up to 1899. In dollars it
would be $4O.194. S7S.SS. An article
which costs $40,0O0,O00 and sells for
$4,000 cannot be called very good
financial investment.
From a literary or intellectual stand
point, however, the subject presents al
entirely different aspect.
Some time ago I asked one Of the
foremost Shakespearean scholars in the
world if he had a copy of the first
folio" His reply was that he could
not afford it, that it would not be wise
for him to lose $500 to $500 per year
for the mere sake Of ownership when
for very slight expenditure for time
and railway fare he could consult any
one of half Il dozen copies whenever he
required to do so.-FollieS of Science.

Broke Up the Card Party.

1t was an extremely pleasant and

scene with lemon squash and glasses.
The Misses Isaacson are two maiden
sisters who a fortnight ago engaged a

lent testimonials and was known as

gold, silver and purses lying thereon
and fled, locking the door behind him.
And now the police are in search of
