FRENCH PEOPLE WANT
OPEN SHOP ON SUNDAY
Can't Agree Which Day Of Seven
Should Be Actually the Day
OF Rest.

PARIS, Sept. 1.-The authorities are
meeting with considerable difficulty in
enforcing the law relative TO an obliga-
tory day Of rest. The curious part Of it
is that the opposition comes not so
much from the employers as from the
employees.
Sunday having been decided upon as
the day OF rest, the authorities have
received enormous numbers Of letters
from tradespeOpIe asking 10 be per
mitted 10 keep open shop on Sundays
and give their employees each one day
OF rest per week in turn. It seems
impossible to get the people to agree
as 10 which day really should be
used TO rest

The Breakfast Itoom pe~k.

No breakfast room is so cozy as the one which contains a well appointed and well stocked desk in the sunniest window, ready to turn to for the inn mediate answering of the mail which has been perused at breakfast. Eng lishwomen, who understand the art of letter and note writing better than any women in the world, follow this plan and have certain other customs which come under the class of letter writing made easy.
 Letter paper is bought by the quanti- ty. stamps are bought by the hundred and pens by the gross, any of which outlays would be considered an unhead of extravaganza by the ordinary Amer ican woman, who buys her writing ma- terials in driblets that are small and stinyy as compared with her lavish ex- penditures in other directions.

Women and the Law.

Most married women imagine that they are mistresses in their own houses, but that. 1t appears, unless they actual ly hold the deed to the property, is a delusion. Tt should be distinctly un derstood." said Judge Swartz of Nor ristown, Pa. in 8 recent case, that the husband is master of his own house. The wife has no right to invite or ad- init her mother or any one else to the house against her husbands will" The judge was good enough to add that the wife might go to see her mother when ever she wished, provided she did not so so often as to neglect her duty to her husband and her home, but he did not say that man must see that the kindling wood was chopped and the water pails full before he indulged in a visit to his father.-New York Trib- une.

 When ol l age comes on, catarrhal dis eases come also. Systemic catarrh is almost universal in old people.
 This explains why Peruna has become so indispensable to old people. Peruna is their safeguard. Peruna is the only remedy yet devised that entirely meets these cases. Nothing but an effective systemic remedy can cure them.

GENERAL WHEELER'S FIRST
 MEETING WITH LEE

General Joe Wheeler. hero of two wars, and rich in years and fame, died before he had lived out the one ambition that remained in his heart. He wanted to Write the history that he had helped to make with his sword and as a legislator and pacif- cator of his country, He wished to close his career as a man of letters and especially as a historian.
 With this purpose ill view. about q week before his death he became a stockholcer, a director and the his. torcal editor of the Golden Age. q new magazine edited and published by southern men in New York. He wrote his first article. his R. collec- tions of West Point Fifty Years Ago for the February number of this mag, azine, and died. The article is of es. pecial interest as being the first effort of a noble purpose and the last effort O a noble man. But it is of ftscIf of inherent interest. The famous cayal- " commander describes his first meeting with General, then Colonel. Robert E. Lee, the superintendent of the military academy. Tho following is a brief extract:
 s'I found my way to the door of the office of the superintendent of the academy. The superintendent s or Gerly, whose duty 1t was to announce visitors. Was for a moment absent, and bein@ ignorant cf military rules ! knocked at tha deor. heard the words come in As I ent rcd. this remarkable man. Reber F.

He Was in h S forty-ninth year, mustache faced, with slightly gray hair. At that time he was a captain of engi- neers, with brevet ranks of major. lieutenant colonel and colonel, wh ch honors he won by courage and valu- able service in the battles of Mexico. Sc highly regarded was he that the army and war department considered him the logical successor of General Scott as commander of the army.
 In reply to the question I bowed to express the affirmative and after few kind words he took me to the 1oor of the office of the adjutant, Lieutenant l. B. Fry. afterwards prominent general, telling me that
