Sign Was Not Needed.

"The one thing most resented by
Americans" observed Senator Bever-
idge recently. sis the dictatorial arti-
tude which some men attempt to as
sume. Much of the biting satire which
we hear is tie result Of such arrogant
preSumption.N
"A congregation in eastern Illinois
had decided to erect a rev church

were obtained in an abandoned thea
tire.
The clergyman, with folded arms
and pOmpOus bearing, directed the eff

engaged in cleaning up the accumu-
lated rubbish. Pieces of scenery,
wrecked stage furniture, programmes,
autographs, and musty draperies were
thrust into the flames.

THRIFT N WEALTH:
The French Mode Of Saving In the Home
and Its Results.

The French Mode Of Saving In the Home
and Its Results.
French housekeeping may be de-
scribed, says the author of Home Life
in France" as the gloriication Of sim
plicity, a supreme economy of time,
outlay and worry. In France the fur
nishing and fitting UP of a house is
done for once and for all. English
and American households spend more
upon their homes in a twelvemonth
than French families Of the same
standing spend for that purpose dur
ing the whole Of their welded lives.
Thrift is always and everywhere the
first consideration. Fuel Is economical
in France to an eEtent to which even
Door families in this country are not
accustomed. When a FrencEwoman
pays visits or goes abroad shopping
she let's her fire go out, and relights
it on her return. Many .:omen fairly
well off make a wooden shawl and a
footwarmer do duty for a fire, except,
perhaps, when it is freezing indoors.
Money in France IS on no account
whatever to be lightly parted win;
absolute necessity is the only excuse
for outlay.
But there is a Ginning side to this
frugality. French men and women do
pot affect sumptuous style for the sake
Of outsiders, and their unpretentiouS-
ness imparts a dignity mere wealth
cannot bestow. The following incl
dent is. illustrative Of French stand
ards:
The author, Miss Betham-Edwards,
had been spending a few Gays with a
French friend, widow Of an officer at
Pornic. On returning to Nantes she
took a third-aass ticket, to the aston
ishment of her hostess.
II always travel frst-class," she
exclaimed, after a little chat about
the matter Of trains, adding, "but l
do not travel often, and I am rich. I
have an income of two hundred pounds
a year."
Probably she eve spent two-thirds
of il. In this supreme the vast
majority of French folk are rich, "be-
yond the dreams Of avarice."

One on Bragg.

Some years ago In Alabama n OF
the most talented lawyers practising IN
the South was the late Colonel Bragg,
but he had O peppery temper.
Not only did Colonel Bragg's dis.
position involve him from time to time
in serious differences with his COL
leagues, but it also led him to break
off amirable relations with a Judge
Robinson, a most estimable jurist, who,
while presiding over a suit in which
Bragg was interested, had by his de-
els ion incurred the resentment of the
ad yocate. So. for a long time the Col
orel, declined even to speak to the
Judge, save when it was absolutely
necessary in the course of business.
Finally, however, his better nature
getting the upper hand, Colonel Bragg
determined to apologize to Judge Rob-
inson and endeayor to effect a renewal
of their former comparatively pleasant
relations. Meeting the Judge one at.
ternoon on the steps of the State House
he impulsively thrust out his hand and
said:
See here, Judge, let's be friends
again. This thing has gone on long
enough"
"Why-er, Bragg" asked the Judge
in the meekest and mildest way I'M
aginable, whats the matter"
Simply this, Judge" continued the
fiery Bragg, Il admire you so i'm.
mensely that I cannot for my life be
content to remain on bad terms any
longer. I felt that I must speak to
you."
"Why-er, Bragg" piped the Judge
in the thinnest of voices, a well-feigned
look of establishment on his face, ""why
-er, Bragg; haven't you been speaking
to me-"
At this the lawyer wilted.-EdWin
Tarrisse, in ~Lippincott's.

HOW the Eakimo Smokes.

"No man is fonder of tobacco than an
Eskimo" said the Arctic traveller at
his club. THE Eskimo depends for
his tobacco solely on the white man.
Bor a pound of it he would sell his
oldest son.
st is odd to see an Eskimo smoke.
He chops his tobacco fine and mixes
it with chopped willow twigs, so as
to make it go further. Then he cleans
out with a picker of bone the small
stone bowl of his pipe, and then he
phlcks a lock of hair from his deer
skin suit and rams it down in the bot
tom of the pipe bowl, so as to prevent
any Of the finely chopped tobacco from
escaping into the stem.
FINALLY he lights the pipe and
smokes it in a swift series of long,
strong puffs, so that there may be no
waste. Each puff is inhaled deep
into the lungs, and the first puff's
smoke Is still streaming from the nos
trils long after another puff has been
started. There must be, you see, no
waste. There must be none of that
vain combustion Of tobacco without
benefit to the smoker which Soes on
continually among us.
"Often the most experienced Eskimo
will smoke so hard and fast that tears
will stream from his eyes. he will
cough violently, and sometimes Fer-
tigo and nausea will seize him."-New
York Press.

Sou'e Big Oysters.

The usual size Of the shell Of an
oyster is three to five inches, but away
back III Tertiary times there were
oysters in California that had shells
thirteen inches long and seven or
eight inches wide. The animal and
she'll doubtless weighed fifteen or
twenty pounds, since the shells were
five inches thick. These oysters have
long been extinct, but their fossil
shells are abundant. If the oyster
farmer could produce individuals of
such enormous size now, ana the flavor
were good in proportion to its size, we
would be most fortunate. In that case
n single oyster would lie enough for
one stew at the church festiyal.-St.

to Talk About.
In defining, or rather, determining
what is news for a country town the
personality of the new gatherer must
be lost, said w. r. Prewitt, of the
Onawa Qowa) Gazette, at the meeting
of the Corn Belt editors at Sheldon. He
or she must learn to bury "self." Your
readers and the public are entitled to
be given any news that concerns alike
both your. personal friends and your
bitterest enemies. However, country
editors seldom have enemies. But,
speaking seriously, no editor should
have friends or enemies when defining
what is news in a country town. 1t Is
a fact that usually the fellow with
whom you like to converse is the n
who will talk about the subjects which
most interest you. This same thing
applies more forcibly in the editing. OF
O country newspaper. y"
If you would please the greatest
number your opportunity to claim their
attention through your columns and
to make them know they are getting
their moneys worth when they are in
duced to come around once a year and
pay their dues is to find out what they
want to talk about and give it to them
as news. Because your contemporary
down the street captured an item last
week which you failed to connect with
is no reason why you should not recog-
nize it as such in your next issue. Of
course this refers TO real news items
which every man with q nose for news
will recognize. What is sometimes not
news is news. There are some happen
ings which everybody knows before
your paper is issued. or at least it
would seem that everybody was famil-
lar with the matter. Yet every one OF
these people will look your columns
through to see in what language you
tell the story, if for no other reason
than to disagree with your version.
There is a wonderful advantage in
the determining 'whatsis news by the
acquaintance you have over your ter
ritory. The editor of a country weekly
should be the best informed man in his
locality on the geography of his county.
He should know, as far as possible,
every road, every school house and
every country church in the county, and
extend his acquaintance to the widest
extent possible with it's inhabitants.
Then when threads of news, which
happens nearly eveey week, come float

pared to get at the required facts. In

is thought that the wire required for
this purpose can be imported from
abroad at the cost of about $3.50 per
mile. delivered at Sydney.
The rabbit plague is increasing from
