MARKET DAY IN NORMAN TOWN.
Ruvfur apd Rarpaiufuu

Women of vaIognes Do Their own
Buying and Bargaining.
All the women of Valognes do their
own marketing and some of the we'll
known fish women and farmers wives
who come in from the country with
poultry would be quite hurt if Madame
la Comtesse didn't come herself to give
her orders and have little talk. This
morning | have been to market with
Countess Florian, relates a writer in
Scribner'S Magazine. The women look
ed so nice and clean in their short,
black, heavily plated skirts, high white
caps and handkerchiefs pinned over
their bodices. The little stalls went all
down the narrow main street and
spread out on the big square before the
church. The church is large, with a
square tower and fine dome-nothing
very interesting as to architecture.
Some of the stalls were very tempting
and the smiling, red-cheeked old wom-
en-, sitting up behind their wares, were
so civil and anxious to sell us some
thing. The fish market was most invit-
Irregularities of fiat, white turbots,
shining silver mackerel and fresh Gre
vettes piled high on a marble slab with
water running over them. Four or FIVE
short-skirted, bare-legged fisher girls
were standing at the door with baskets
of fish on their heads. Florian
joined us there and seemed on the best
of terms with these young women. Fe
made all kinds Of jokes with them, to
which they responded with giggles and
funny little half courtesy, half nod.
Both Florians spoke so nicely to all
the market people as we passed from
stall to stall. The poultry looked very
good-such fat ducks and chickens. 1t
was funny to see the bourgeoises of
Valognes all armed with large basket
doing their marketing; they looked at
the chickens, poked them, lifted them
so as to be sure of their weight, and
evidently knew to a centime what they
had to pay. l fancy the Norman me-
nagerie is a pretty sharp customer and
knows exactly what she must pay for
everything. The vegetable stalls were
very we'll arranged-the most enormous
cabbages l ever saw. l think the old
women who presided there were doing
a flourishing business.

OIL TRUST is GUILTY
BUCKEYE JURY CONVlCTS THE
STANDARD COMPANY.
Charged with Conspiracy Against
Trade--Penalty Is Fine and I'm"
observation-disclosures Sing Hymns
Before Reaching Verdict.

The first battle between the Standard
Oil Company and the law is over and
the company is defeated. a jury at
findlay Ohio, brought in verdict de-
claring the Standard to be guilty OF vio-
lating the antitrust laws of the State
The penalty is a fine of from 500 to
$1,000, which may be repeated for each
day of the offenSe, or Imprisonment of
six to twelve months. The oil pm-
pany gave notice that it would file a
motion for new trial. The appeal
from this court is to the Supreme Court
of Ohio, by which tribunal no doubt
the issue ultimately will be decided.
To the State the suit, the verdict and
the ultimate appeal are important,
especially because they initiate an en-
tirely new method of procedure against
alleged Onopolies-that is, by infor
nation and affidavit instead of by
grand jury indictment. The verdict
was rendered at 4 80 o'clock Friday
morning, after elaboration by the jury
for thirty-two hours. The trial occu-
pied seven days
A touch of the dramatic marked the
two closing hours of the deliberations.
Hymns were sung during all but ten
minutes of this time This ten minutes
came at the end and Was occupied by
the remaining juror who had stood out
in explaining his position before sur
rendering to the majority. There was
not the slightest levity ~5out this re-
ligious service. The jurors had been
without sleep many hours As one IA
miliar hymn after another was sung it
became evident that a spirit of frater-
nalism was making Roadway i'll the
small chamber in which the twelve men
were locked, for the number of voices
| increased. Then Home, Sweet Home"
was sung, the national anthem follow
| ed and then came more hymns. A few
minutes later the announcement was
made that the jury had reached an
! agreement.
The result of this trial, so bitterly
contested by the company, will be at
any rate to justify the courts of Ohio
and of other States in severely restrict
! ing the operations of organized wealth
| against individuals and in compelling
the Standard Oil and all other corpora
tons to manage their affairs in such a
way as not to Cypress and injure their
competitors

ION ne our
Servant.
If there is any advice that young
wives need to take home 20 their hearts,
it is: 81 Jn't let yourself become your
husbands domestic servant
There is real need for such advice.
There is nothing a bride takes such
pleasure and pride in, if she is a nor
mally constituted woman, as the ar
rangement and conduct of her house
hold affairs. Waiting on her husband
attending to his creature comforts, bear
ing in mind the wise old adage that
the way to a mans heart is through
his stomach, she is too likely to be-
come engrossed in these matters to the
exclusion of others which at the time
seem remote.
1t is sorry day in married life when
a man awakens to the fact that all that
his wife does for him can be done by
hired labor; not as painstakingly nor
devotedly done, but still done well
enough by some one who comes in to
work.
Many a woman vaunts herself for
years on the skill with which she keeps
her husbands apparel in order, his
home swept and garnished, never think
ing that she so wears herself out in
these smaller things that when he
comes home weary with days labor
he finds her equally tired and so quite
unable to brighten his spirits.
Working at such things constantly,
all day and every day. they naturally
become the wifes chief topic of con-
versation. She finds her husband en-
crossed in his business and asserts for
herself the same right to be engrossed
in what, to her, is the chief business of
life.
81 & comes not to be seriously inter
ested In his affairs; he is certainly not
disposed to take any of the burden of
her small domestic labors on shoulders
already carrying the weight of provid-
Ing for their joint future and the gulf
between them grows-too often it
comes to be impossible.
1t is the duty of a wife who wishes
to keep her husband interested in her
TO, first of all, keep herself interested
In him. To that end she must put upon
the shoulders of others as much of her
housekeeping as possible.
If she is to encourage, him for the
battle of life she must beware of over
fatigue rs of any other illness. Let
him find her willing, even anxious, to
hear of his struggles and successes.
Are they not her own?

ing sight of McIntosh's severe face bent
inquiringly on him.
Madame Midas was very much grieved
az the news of Kitty's escapade, particu-
larly as she could not see what motive
she had for running away, and. moreover
trembled to think of the temptations the
innocent girl would be exposed to in the
metropolis. After tea, she spoke to Van
deloup on the subject. The young French
man was seated at the piano in the dark
ness, striking a few random chords, while
Madame was by the fire in the armchair.
1t was quite dark, with only the rosy
glow of the fire shining through the room.
Mrs. Villiers felt uneasy; was it likely
that Vandeloup could have any connection
with Kitty's disappearance? Impossible
he mad given her his word of honor, and
yeti was very strange. Mrs. Nilliers
was not, by any means, a timid woman,
so she determined to ask CASTOR right out,
and get a decided answer from him, so as
to set her mind at rest.
IN. Vandeloup," she said, in her clear
voice, ''wIIl you kindly come here for a
momentw
Certainly, Madame" said CASTOR, ris-
ing with alacrity from the piano, and
coming to the freside sis there anything
can do?"
You have heard of Miss Marchurst's
disappearance" she asked, looking up at
| him.
Yes, Madame" he answered, in his
calm, even tones.
DO you remember the day l introduced
her to you and you gave me your word
of honor you would not try to turn her
have you kept your word?"
Madame" said Vandeloup, gravely, 81
| give you my word of honor that l have
always treated Mile. Kitty as a child and
your friend. l did not know that she
had gone until l was told. and whatever
| happens to her l can safely say that il
was NOT CASTOR Vandeloup's fault
An admirable actor, this man, not q
| feature of his face moved, not a single
| deviation from the Calmness of his speech
not a quickening Of the pulse, nor the
rush of betraying blood to his fair face

satisfied. NJ. Vandeloup was the soul oil

M Vandeloup," said Madame sudden
ly, after they had been chatting for few
moments, lone thing you must do for me

81 will do anything you WISH" sale
| Vandeloup, gravely.
Then" said Madame, earnestly, rising
and looking him in the face, you must
find Kitty and send her back to me-"
Madame" said Vandeloup, solemnly
''it will be the purpose of my life to re
! store her to your arms"

WHY EVERYBODY LIKES SAND.
Love of 1t Is Universal and Is Felt
at All Ages.

The love of sand Is universal, felt
by all, and at all ages. The child finds
in it ready and plentiful material for
giving something of definiteness to the
world of his childish Imagination, and
when experience shall have proved the
real world to be less pleasant and not
expressible in sand he nevertheless as
a grown man tacitly admits the attrac-
ton of the old-time medium and spends
his holidays upon it. No watering place
need trouble as to it's prosperity if it
has a broad forefront of sand.
Probably so general and ingrained a
love is only to be accounted for as the
result of a sympathetic and uncon-
scious marking back" TO the feel of
the life ON the dry sandy soils of the
East, upon which man first wandered
and in which he first delved. He can
sit or lie with greater comfort and
ease-as he originally sat, without a
chair or lay without a couch-upon
sand than upon any other kind of earth
and upon sand ne reverts readily and
without fear of convention to primeval
barefootedness. Possibly even the
charm of the "sanded floor"-in the
concrete to our forefathers, the COM
fort and coziness of CHEEKY inn parlors
and kitchens warm with the rudy heat
of glowing logs on snowy nightS-may
also be due to vaguely assertive in
stinct.
In proof it may be readily concluded
that far distant man would not have
been long in finding out the advantages
of dry cave as a dwelling place. 1t
would be found most readily in soft,
friable rocks. The natural and further
easy expansion of the cave to meet
growing demands for house room by
scraping down of roof and sides would
result in a sanded floor. Litter of rude
cave living and housekeeping could be
more easily swept out with the leafy
bough or bunch of sedges acting as the
original broom when mixed with sand
than without its aid. The savage fam
lily which swept the cave out oftenest
and most thoroughly would certainly
be the healthiest and strongest.-Lon-
don Spectator.

Health and Beauty Hints.

Deep breathing will tend to de-
crease the size of the abdomen.
The skin, especially that of the face,
should be treated as the finest china,
tenderly and delicately.
Before applying a poultice cover the
skin lightly with glycerin to prevent
any particles from adhering.
Don't torture your eyes, but humor
them, for if ill-treated they revenge
themselves by making formidable wrin-
kleS and crows feet.
Shoes that are too large sometimes
slip and cause the heel to blister. To
prevent this fit the heel Of the shoe
with a piece of velvet.
One teaspoonful of glycerine to a
tablespoonful of boiling water taken
ten minutes before meals is said to be
certain cure for indigestion.
