FRENCH INDUSTRIAL ARTS.
The Application Of Higher Training
to Trade Is Everywhere
Apparent.

Consul Goldschmidt, Of Nantes, con-
tributes an extended article on indus
trial art education in France and its
influence upon French industries. He
says in part:
There are at present In France,
aside from the national art schools,
300 provincial and municipal schools
of fine arts, which are free to young
men and women. While leaving to
each school the development Of the
line Of art suited to local needs, the
state gives direction by annual visits
of inspectors of drawing The applica-
ton to trade is practical and complete.
The administration Of fine arts Sc
lects and sends the greater part OF the
models useful to instruction, gives
prizes, scholarships, purses and en-
enlargement to pupils who have dis
tinguished themselves during their
course Of studies. The influence Of ar
tistic training upon the industries or
France Is paramount, and the ordinary
observer Is struck at once when eX-
aiming an article in the French shops
of home manufacture Of its superiority
over similar goods made in other coun-
tries. If one visits an art gallery or
museum in France on Sunday, the
great interest of the working people
may be witnessed in the arts and
sciences. A conversation with these
workers reveals a general interest or
the masses In matters of art and It's
general application"

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
of Trade" says:
ample rains throughout the farming
regions provided the most important
commercial factor of the last week, large
crops being essential to a maintenance OF
national prosperity at the maximum po-
sition recently attained. Retail trade
responded to the stimulus of warm
weather, lightweight wearing apparel 60
ing freely into consumption, and there is
all unusually liberal volume of wholesale
business for this time of year. Mercan-
tile collections are still somewhat irregu-
lar, but at most cities payments are i'm
proving, and the financial situation is
more encouraging, now that the San
Francisco banks have resumed business
without any disturbance.
Manufacturing plants are we'll &C.
cupied and building operations are heavy,
but there are indications of lower level
for commodity quotations for the month
of May. Customary summer quiet is
noted in some departments, although
there is less than the usual interruption,
and preparations are already in progress
for very active fall season. Labor
conditions have improved, the only new
disturbance of note being locally among
the painters, while the steel industry
suffers less delay from old disputes. Rail
way earnings thus far reported for May
exceeds those for last year by II per
cent.

q host of nervous irritations, make life

At this time, also, cancers and tumors

a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, diz-

pitation of the heart, sparks before the

Consul Harris, Of Chemnitz, devel-
OPS another of the great practical
methods Germany is using to give her
future helmsmen the most thorough
educational training. He writes:
"a number of young assessors, who
have practically completed their law
studies, have been delegated to spend
from six months to year in some of
the large business and manufacturing
establishments in Chemnitz. Leipzig
and Plauen. The manufacturers are
satisfied at the step and gladly well
come the young men, for the reason
that they are interested directly and
Indirectly in improving the state SER
vice, so that affairs pertaining to trade
and industries will receive more ap-
preciative attention in the future. My
informant has one Of these young men
In his Office now. His duties are to
learn the routine of trade work. The
methods Of manufacture will be taken
IN later on, and thereafter the man
ner in which goods are exported to
foreign countries"

ROMANS AS SHOW COERS.
Something Of Interest for Modern
Lovers of the Drama to
Ponder.

Just how the ancient Romans went
to the theater and what kind of shows
were billed in the days of Augustus
and Nero was explained by Prof. Wal
ton B. Mcdaniel in free public lee
ture at the University Museum OF Sci
ence and Art yesterday afternoon.
The audience heard with some sur
prise that the political lights of Rome,
the senator's got the choice seats, the
aristocrats sat next, then came the
husbands and wives and last of all,
way up in the peanut" gallery, sat
the women who came without escorts.
The lecturer also told that married
men got bitter seats than single men
and that boys were seated under the
view of their pedagogues.
In describing the big theater built by
Pompey the Great he startled his hear
ers by declaring that in the fine art Of
handling the masses Dick" Croker
was child compared to the late
Pompey. The lecture was illustrated
with numerous lantern slides.

you paid me every Saturday; will you,
