REAL HEROINE OF FRANCE

stream beneath. Before they had
gone many steps they had fallen

Mdlle. lie Commander, a girl of
10, heard the cries of two women
who saw the accident from the
river bank some distance away.
"She resolutely waded into the
river, making a way for herself
through the broken ice, and with

NOT LIKE KANSAS.

You can't lose Kansas at any
turn of the road. Her people are as
quick with their wits in the big
marts of civilization as they are
with their scythes and more danger

Senator Plum of Kansas got
away with Gothamite some years
ago at Waldorf-Astoria dinner
given to Kansas delegation by plu-

The fish course presented itself in
the form of a mammoth salmon

HOW SWISS PEASANTS TOLL
In some Homes silk Looms Have
Never Stopped IN Many
Recorded Years.

Americans often wonder how it
is possible for the Swiss tc produce
articles requiring SO much hand La
Dor at such ridicufnusly low prices,
says a consular report. To under
stand the question, one must to
certain extent study the sociological
side of the peasant life. | am very
much impressed with the industry
of the people. OF course during the
summer their work is largely in the
fields, but the moment the crops are
harvested and the wood cut and
stored for the winter the entire
peasant family engages itself in in
door work, such as weaving or knit
ting on the looms always loaned to
the peasant by the large manufac-
turers of knit and straw goods.
| know personally of one family
of peasants, and this is not in the
least a unique case, but is typical of
probably rs per cent. of these peas
ant families, who work during the
six winter months of the year at
three looms weaving narrow silk
and cotton tapes. This family con-
sists of four persons who a.e grown
up, and seven children, whose labor
is available out of school hours, and
every winter for several years two
of the looms have rever stopped
night or day, except for oiling or
the introduction of new raw mate
rial. The third loom is run only
during the daytime by the younger
children when home from school.
These peasants are Industrious
and sober people, and l am in
formed aut''oritatively are satisfied
with daily profit on the work of
the entire output for six months of
winter. This is characteristic of
the labor of the Swiss, and especial
ly of the ''unskilled" labor, which
produces the straw and imitation
straw braids, enabling the Swiss
manufacturers to ship to the United
States in spite of American duties
in competition with American work
men.

Long-EstabIlshed Business Is to BE
Given Up, However, Because
Bride Wills 1t.

Boroughloch brewery, in Buc-
cleuch street, Edinburgh. is about to
be closed, and for a reason which is
somewhat interesting.
The proprietor : Mr.. Andrew
Melyin-is, it is reported, about to
get married to a wealthy American
lay, who is a member of the Sal
walton Army, and it is at her re-
quest that the business is being
given up.
1t will probably be hailed as one
of the greatest triumphs of the
army in Scotland that they have
been able to effect the stoppage of a
drink mandatory. The brewery
is a small one. 1t is, however, the
Oldest of al the Edinburgh brew
cries, having been started in 1915
-332 years ego. The last brew was
made on Friday last.
Meantime the place is being kept
open for the sale of the beer in
stock, of which there is a large
quantity.
The premises of Boroughloch are
being offered to let. a condition of
lease being that they are not to be
used as a brewery. The incident is
the subject, of a good deal of COM
ment in the south side of Edin-
burgh.

ODD CHARACTER IN CAPITAL.
Woman of Remarkable Mentality Lives
There in Poverty.

Living in squalor in the suburbs OF
Northeast Washington is little old
blind woman who has a remarkable
history. She claims to be llneal de-
scendant from Russian nobility, and as
having been married to "grandee
in that country when she was very
small girl. This venerable woman,
though living in the most miserable
surroundings, has a brilliant mind and
is an advanced student of astronomy
One of her axIoms is to the effect That
this life would not be worth the living
were it not for the spiritual side OF 1t.
81 do not live here" she said, dream
lily the other day. Il exist away up
yonder (pointing skyward) where
there are suns, stars and worlds, but,
above all, where there is spirituality
everywhere. Where the sordid and
mean things of this life are not to be
found. Where there is genial
brotherhood and sisterhood of spir-
ituality.''
This remarkable woman numbers
among her other accomplishments the
writing of poetry. Her friends claim
she can foretell coming events with
almost unerring certainty. She has
been student of materia medica since
girlhood. Recently a number of prom
inent people have visited the shanty
in which she makes her earthly abode
while waiting patiently for the time
to come WHICH her spirit will be trans
ported. st0Iae land of the ~sky and

WITH PAPA AT THE TUB
Hunorlst's Idea Of the Way . Man
Would Tackle an Important
Household Duty.

Many fathers stand aloof from
the common domestic duties, not
because they are so busy or because
they are not willing, but because of
ignorance, says Tom Mason, in the
Delineator.
How many men are there who
would not gladly drop their business
at any time and stay home and give
the baby his bath, if they only knew
how!
Yet in reality it is much simpler
than it seems. Fill the bathtub full
of any good water, first carefully
removing all germs. Put your ell
bow in occasionally to see if it is the
right temperature. If ice forms on
your elbow you may know the water
Is too. cold. If there are blisters
then it is too warm. Be moderate
in all things.
Take the baby firmly by both
feet and shake him loose from his
flannel mornings, until you begin to
see safety pins ahead Then re-
move the safety pins with gas nip
pers, and unroll until the baby
looms into sight.
Now, having put ON your rubber
coat, put one hand firmly under the
baby's chest and the other on his
back, and launch him on the still
waters. When he has kicked all the
water out of the bathtub, renew as
before.
Be careful, while you are manipu-
lating the baby, to keep him face
down. Otherwise, you would not be
able to put water anywhere else but.
IN his mouth.

No Wonder He Groaned,

Mrs. Fabbins has written to the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty

very painful, because her husband,
racing man. is sometimes quite upset
and she hears him groan In his sleep
about horse being scratched.

TO PREVENT POTATO ROT.

The German government and the
people who are interested in agricul-
ture have been making exhaustive
study and experiment in order to
find prevention or cure of the po-
tato rot, which has been serious and
increasing for several years.
As to the result of investigation
and experience, the following has
been published by newspapers
throughout the nation:
"The rotting is caused by the po-
tato fungus. This fungus, if pres
ent on some potatoes in the cellar.
spreads to other potatoes and causes
rot. A solution of one pound of
chloride of lime dissolved in rs gal
Ions of water is used for washing
the potatoes by means of broom.
They are then spread out to dry.
Through this procedure the spores
of the fungus are killed"
A Friendly Robin.
A correspondent relates the follow
ing incident as having happened to
himself near North Berwick on the
last day of the old year: When driv-
ing home in my sleigh l stopped to
speak to some friends, when robin
came and perched on the whip shaft,
which my coachman was holding in
slanting position not more than foot
or two from my face.
Robin sat looking earnestly at me
with his beady black eyes with the
most perfect confidence for nearly
half a minute, and did not mind the
talking or the holding out of my, alas,
empty hand. All birds, and especially
the robin, are very fearless in this
weather, but l never met before with
such complete fearlessness of man."

AFFLICTED ONLY AT TIMES.
Good Reason for Capt. Baseomb's In
termittent Hearing.

When Capt. Bascomb had left his
old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new
school teacher sitting on the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road, the young woman spoke of him
with some curiosity.
Il understand from Mrs. Bascomb
that her husband was very deaf, al
most stone-deaf.' she told me. I'm
sure,' said the school teacher. But
he seemed to hear all we said with
perfect ease"
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke in a low. cautious tone. al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know it,"
he said, hurriedly. He does seem
to hear pretty well when she amt
round, but none of us folks ever let
on to her. She's a good woman as
ever lived. but most tremendous
bosser and an everlastin' talker. An
we all think that Gersh Bascomb be-
gun to realize ten years ago that II
he didn't want to be harried right off'n
the face o. the earth. the thing for
him to do was to grow def, gradual,
but steady-an' he's done 1t, to all
intents an purposes, ma'am!'

LEFT 1T TO THE OLD HENS,
Amateur FancIer Thought His Re-
sponsibiIity Had Ended.

i'm Indiana man tells of the efforts
of an author belonging to the Hoosier
school of historical novelists to put
in his leisure time as hen farm
er" in that state. The literary per-
sons venture afforded his agricultural
neighbors no end Of amusement.
During the first year the amateur
farmer discovered that all his little
chickens, which were confined in
coops, were languishing at the point
of death. The novelist went over his
hen literature" to locate the cause of
the trouble, but to no avail.
Finally he called upon an old chap
named Rawlins. to whom he put the
question:
What do you suppose is the mat
ter with those chickens"
We'll, / dunno" said Rawlins
What do you feed emp"
Feed them!" exclaimed the novel
ist-farmer. why, l don't feed them
anything"
Then, how'd you suppose they
was a-goin' to live?"

person, that the old hens had milk
enough for them now."-Lippincott's

THE LOAD OF THE LAZY.
This Man Worked Hard in His Own
Particular Way.

One of the neighborhood loafers sat
comfortably smoking his foul pipe. &C
cording to his daily custom. in the pre-
scription room of drug store. He
was soliloquizing aloud to the clerk.
Here is a sample of his sound. con-
tented philosophy: I'll tell you what!
A man is mighty miserable II he amt
got nothin' to do. when he amt work
in at somethin'. know tive tried
both ways an l find that there amt
nothin' that makes a man more miser-
able than dom nothin'. But, you
know, there's two kinds of work; one
of them is where a Teller goes to work
at six in the mornin' an works with
his hands till six at night. The other
is where Teller sits around an thinks.
1 amt never happy unless I'm work
In, but don't believe in that first
kind of work. l believe in thinkin' all
day long. an that's harder than the
other kind, can tell you-you just
try it If you don't believe me; a man
is mighty miserable when he amt

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century
and earlier times had easier lives than
those of our generation. To be sure.
there are a hundred labor saving de-
vices to-day which were unknown to
them. But In at least two important
respects they had the advantage over
their descendants. They waged no
conflict against dirt such as we carry
on from morning till night. The Eliz.
abethan had no prejudice against gar
bage in his front yard, vermin in his
bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor
of his banquet hall. OF soiled lace In
his sleeves. The strength of arm and
spirit which now goes to keeping clean
was left to the medieval lady for other
tasks. Moreover. although her cloth.
ing was gorgeous-rich with embroid-
cry and lace, and heavy with jewels
1t was not subject to rapid changes OF
fashion. The cut of sleeve or the
hang of a skirt was settled for five
years rather than five months. Life
was then free from the modern terror
of looking like last years rag bag"

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet-Would
Cry Until Tired out-Speedy
Cure by cuticura.

MY baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her

cause her to be broken in her rest. and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. I had heard Of SO many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that
l thought l would give them trial.
The Improvement was noticeable in a
few hours, and before l had used one

were well and have never troubled her
