"This association of white men

For years, at this season Of the
year especially, scores Of lazy,

labor. This kind of idleness is a
menace to the peace and good or
der of society and the law de-
nounces it as criminal, and has
at last afforded an adequate and
just penalty for the enforcement
of its mandate.
The municipality of Franklin is
among the first to act under the
new law, and has acted with a
thoroughness that is appalling, to
the criminal idler. Last Thurs day

 lures to the extent of s523, ,00o, GOO. If the British markets were closed to our farmers, the volume of our exports in the last twelve months would fall be- low $1.000,000,00o instead of aggregat- ing $1,51S.000,0O0. For every dollar that Americans spend on imports from Great Britain the British spend three on im- ports from the United States The ball. anco Of trade, therefore, is heavily in Uncle Sans favor. and is likely to con- tinue so. although there will probably be a demand in this country for eer. tain British manufactures Not only does Uncle Sam find profitable mar ket in the United Kingdom for his va rious wares. but he also does a fine bus mess in the British colonies. These colonies last year contributed about $220.000.000 toward tnsuring tho pros- perity of the United States. To sun, up, John Bull and his dependencies buy about one-half of the exports from tliia country. Let us hope that their pur- chasing power will never diminish and that American products will be in aa high favor in the future as they havs been in the past.

more little human sympathy In their portrayal and more Of their dialogues come nearer to the humorous than any other of the futile efforts after laugn making. book like this means that 1t is never well to go too seriously
 with fun making. Laughter Is one thing that won't come on n ccld blood commercial order, even with a certified check to lure it.
 Good Form For Mens. By Charles Harcourt. There is a good deal more fun in this than in the book just re- viewed, whether 1t be put in with nal ice and foretent Is not to bo known. To quote: ITO my mind the most comfortable making joliet !s plain black, dark blue or brown velvet lounge coat--better than the regular smoking jacket, unless the latter be very quiet in color and simple in design. The highly tinted and fantastically trimmed things which especially when surmoun- ted by fog, irresistibly remind one of Savoyard organ grinders monkey. And again: Above all things keep your mind and your hands off your clothing. Don't be afraid to bag your breeches or curve your coat There are few more vulgar sights than that of the man who carefully parts the slits of his coat before sitting down. and leaves them dangling m esch side of his chair: then, after taking two or three reefs in his trousers. pulls dowu his waistcoat a'Nl adjusts his coat"
 This book of Good Form touches not only on the manner o1 tho outside man, but on tho ethics of good manners the training of tho inner man. All good manners come from a good heart The best outside training cannot cover the outcome of a bad heart, nor can any condition of behavior hide the goodness of the heart beneath Doubtless such book as this will prove of value to the man hastily hurled by quickly &C., quired millionsf into a luxuary to which
 he was not born or bred, and to the man by cxis@ncies of circumstances kept long out of a society to whose enjoyment he was born, but from which poverty and work has exiled him. Leis- ure is the great lesson master in mat ters of this sort. Little as we like to own 1t we must admit that tho much lauded courtesy of our greater zones lies in the rush and hustle after the to make.
 The author readily admits: Much, but not all. may be learned from books"
 He enjoins observation of welI-bre6 people, society of cultured women, and rightly states that Manners. like char ity, should commence at home"
 In dress the author enforces the fact that: Good taste counts more than money"

Scarcity of Brown Eyed Men.

A London professor has been going into the question of marriage. and he declares that man usually marries q woman who is like himself in many ways.
 Among every thousand men," he says, "the color of the eyes is divided as follows: Blue, 363; gray. 312; hazel, 127; brown, 94.
 darker, only 2S6 of them in every thous- and having blue ones. If these blue eyed people married at random the re- suit would be that they would mate at the rate of 104 Der thousand, but have discovered that the actual number of marriages per thousand of blue eyed persons is 140, or 36 above the random average, thus proving that the blue eyed man and blue eyed woman arc unconsciously attracted toward one an- other."

Ha Remembered.

Mark Twain. who thoroughly enjoys a good joke on himself tells of little boy of ten years old. who was presented by his mother with a game of Bible cards. gotten up somewhat in the style of the familiar authors" and intended to inculcate in the kindergarten mind the truths of the Good Book in an entertaining manor. The cards were arranged in groups of five each. with such headings as Moses, Joseph. Adam, etc. and each contained five questions relating to some point of bblicAi history. concerning the character In playing tho game. tho boys father held the card Mark. and one of the questions was: ''Who wrote the second book of the New Testament?" The bay. not being over-tamiliar with the Bible. hesi- tated a moment, then said, Mark Twain 70 with promptness and conviction.
