FRENCH EXAMPLE.
How Americans May Follow 1t to
 Their Advantage.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
 The good feeling which is developing between England and France may induce English speaking folk the world over to take few valuable lessons of the French They have been traditionally regarded as a fickle people, much given to the drink ing of absinthe and to social intrigue, and successful chiefly in the devsng of gay and expensive fashions, to the depletion of English and American pocketbooks.
 In point of fact the French as a nation have certain notable virtues which we may emulate. For example, the average Frenchman, instead of being a wanderer. is emphatically a family man. His ruling ambition is to. own a home which he may enjoy himself and bequeath to his children. If he has inherited one 1t is his greatest pride to preserve and beautl- fy it.
 He chooses his wife not only for her dowry, but also for her domestic virtues. The French wife is the best business wo- man in the world Household affairs are left entirely to her, and so usually Is the investment of family savings. She has a clear idea of what makes for comfort but she has no such passion for things" as often weighs down the life of the American housewife. Draperies and car pets and stuffed chairs may be lacking in madames house, but excellent cooking and good temper are pretty sure to be found there.
 One noticeable Illustration of the do- nestle virtues of the French is to be seen in their regard for mothers-in-law. It Is not unusual to find families in friend ly rivalry for the privilege of entertain ing the mother-in-law, and. there Is many household in France where two mothers-in-law live respected and happy, with children and grandchildren.
 We have long imported gowns and hats from France. It would be good now to import love for the homestead, the thrift which by sl<illfull cooking contrives tooth some and nourishing food from inexpen- sive material, and those gentle domestic manners which make the rooftree dear, the dinner table pleasant and family af- lection true and deep. There cannot be an oversupply of these admirable quali- ties

Canary Birds In Church.

From the Philadelphia North American
 Children's day was celebrated Sunday by the largest Methodist Episcopal Sun day school in Pennsylvania, that of Sl- loam church. East Susquehanna avenue. The school has 214s pupils and all but q few of them attended the special ser vices. The girls were all dressed in white, and the solid rows of them, together with the flower decorations, made pretty spectacle for the church members and the visitors who crowded the gallery. A dozen cages, eacn containing canary bird, were suspended from different parts of the high ceiling and the little feathered songsters joined in tine singing with the children. The idea of having song birds in a church service Is new, and every one present agreed that the innovation was a clever one.

MONEY RATES GO HIGHER
Holiday In London and Continuance Over Monday Have an Added Ef- feet Upon Stocks, Which
 Drop a Few Points.


 New York, August S.-Today's stock market was wholly inconsequential and was an affair of a few room traders who exchanged operations amongst themselves. The net result was next to nothing. Only a few stocks were dealt in at all. the body of the list lying wholly neglected. The droop of prices was as much due to inaction as to any other cause, al though the Standard Oil fines were lis- cussed and there may have been attempts in the first hour to discount an unfagor- able bank statement.
 Not only time rates for six months money and upward, a premium over the legal rate of interest is exacted. but commercial paper also shows the effect of the scanty surplus supplies of credits. Mercantile paper of the prime grades is now quoted at and 6Is per cent. There was an easy tone in the noinlnaFfcreign exchange account of Saturday. The holi- day in London and it's continuance over Monday was a factor in the extreme dullness of the market, which was un- relieved to the closing when staguant con- ditions prevailed. Total sales of bonds, par value, $212,0oo.
