Meals In schools.

In Paris the city government gives every school child one full meal a day. This does not tend to pauperize the chil
 dren or to lessen the responsibility of the parents. for all those who can af- ford to pay for the meal are expected to do so On the other hand, no jeal- Ousy or contempt can be felt by the richer children for their starved com rades, for all are supplied with the same metal token, which has to be given up in exchange for the meal. The "cantine scolaire," as this municipal soup kitchen is called. is not confined to Paris. In the provinces the "soupe seOlaire," its equivalent. has sent up the school attendance by leaps and bounds. Here. however, instead of paying for their midday meal all those who can possibly do so are encouraged to bring to school their handful of Vege
 tables and the like and the contribu
 lions are all put into the common soup

Writing of the trials and tribulatlons of American singers who go to Europe to gain recognition, Mildred Aldrich in the Theater Magazine says:
 "To most singers who have sought recognition abroad there Is but one drawback to the European career. It is not love of home that lures them back to the United States. It is money. It looks fine to put de rOpera' or de POpera Comiquc' on ones visiting card, as is the habit in Europe, but there Is another side to 1t. Many debutaute has sung at the Opera Co mique for nothing, some have paid, and some have had the magnificent salary of 200 francs month 0ust shy of $40). One of the most prominent debutantes at the opera saw 5000 francs paid over for her debut, and one woman who was there two years as a regular mem ser of the troupe earned 6.OO0 francs a year ($25 week. and she was con sidered favored. Cities like Bordeaux often get debutantes at 300 francs ($60) a month, and in theaters of that sort singers provide their own cos tunes, so it Is small wonder that, hay Ing got ones education, one wants to earn money in the United States"

ALPINE ROOT DIGGERS.
YAeRr Work of Danger High Up h
 the Mountains.

Throughout the whole chain of the Alps there are men who make it theft business to search for and root up the gentian. arnica. puffballs and other Al pine flowers.
 High up in the mountains the root rubber, generally an old man, builds c little hut. He chambers precipices to the edges, where the blue flowers grow; or. if he cannot ascend, he lets himself down to their place of refuge hV a rope fastened to pine above.
 He wanders to a long distance from his hut and does not always trouble to return to it at night, finding shelter un der rock. Next morning he spreads all the roots he has collected on a rock, where they may dry.
 He collects herbs as well as roots. and the resin from the pine besides When the summer is over and there are signs of snow, the root grubber finally transports the whole of his six months collection to the valley.
 The arnica and some other roots used in medicine are readily disposed of From the gentian is made the favorite gentian brandy, which is considered the very elixir of life by the mountain folk. In other days, when gentians grew in great numbers, the root digger was able to realize a good income from his perilous occupation. but it is other wise now-Chambers' Journal.

THE TlMOROUS KUBUS.
They Live In Sumatra and Are the
 Shfest People Alive.


 Shfest People Alive.
 There is very singular race of peo pie in .Sumatra. the Kubus. who are toe timorous and shy to mix with the other races of the island and dwell in the re- cesses of the forests. They are looked on as interiors by the Malays and thought to be little better than beasts. Such is their shyness that they will never willingly face stranger.
 Their trade with the Malayans is con Dequently carried on in a strange man ner. The trader announces his arrival by beating a gong, and he then retires. The Kubus approach. put their forest treasures on the ground. beat a gong and retreat The trader returns and lays his commodities down in quanti ties sufficient. as he thinks, for the pur- chase of the goods on sale Then he re tires, and the Kubus reappear and con slider the bargain.
 And so. after more withdrawals and approaches and gong beatings, the re spective parties come to an understand ing and carry off independently their bargains. The Kubus in their wild state do not bury their dead. They live on snakes, grubs, fruits and the flesh or any deer or pigs they can slay. They are skillful spearmen and throw stones with marvellous accuracy.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Honesty.

Let honesty be as the breath of thy soul and never forget to have penny when all thy expenses are enumerated and paid; then shall thou reach the point of happiness, and independence shall be thy shield and buckler, thy helmet and crown; then shall thy soul walk upright, nor stOOp to the silken wretch because he hath riches, nor pocket an abuse because the hand which offers it wears a ring set with diamonds.

THESE GENIUSES MISMATED.
Men of Renown Who Received No Help
from Wives,

Men Of Renown Who Received No Help
from Wives.
Many of the worlds most brilliant
men received absolutely no sympathy
or assistance from their wives, saws
the Philadelphia Inquirer. Among
these was Sir Walter Scott, who while
walking with his wife in the fields one
day called her attention to some lambs,
remarking that they we're beautiful.
"Yes." echoed she; lambs are beau
tiful-boiled!"
That Incompatible essayist and
chirping philosopher. Montaigne, mar
ried but once. When his good wife
left him he shed the tears usual on
such occasions and said he would not
marry again, though it were to wisdom
herself.
A young painter of great promise
once told Sir Joshua Reynolds that he
had taken wife. Married." ejacu-
lated the Mortified Sir Joshua, "then
you are ruined as an artist"
The wives of Dante, Milton. Dryden,
Addison and Steele shed no glory on
the sex and brought no peace to their
firesides.
The list of "unhappily married" is
large and brilliant. 1t includes Will
liam Beckford, the author of "Vathey,"
whose enormous fortune and great tai
ents were alike wasted.
Lord Lytton was also unhappily,
though Economically, married, and a
large part at least of the subsequent
misery was due to his temper and con-
duct. But perhaps full justice has not
been done to the Ill effects of the long
and hard struggle with poverty which
he maintained with such success, but
with such constant labor, during many
years.
The temperaments of Charles Dick
ems and his wife were so different that
they lived apart for several years pre-
ceding the great novelist's death.
Lord and Lady Byron separated
about year after their marriage and
they never met again.
Hadyn's marriage was unhappy. In
1853 Hadyn had, after great struggles,
got SO far as to obtain musical direc-
torship with Count Morzin, and settled
in Vienna. His salary was only 200
forins, but he had board and lodging
free. Many pupils came to him., and
among others two daughters of the
hairdresser, Keller.
He fell deeply In love with one, but
his affection was not reciprocated by
the lady, who fled to convent. He
was induced by the father, it is said,
to marry the other, but she made his
life miserable, and he finally sepa-
rated himself from her.
