MADE A NEW FASHION.
Good Joke Played In Old Days on
WouId-5e Fashionable


Old Camden, in his REMAINS" tells
a good story Of a trick played by q
knight upon a would-be fashionable
shoemaker. Sir Philip Calthrop
purged John brakes, the shoemaker
of Norwich in the time of King Henry
VIII, of the proud humor which our
people have to be of the gentlemen's
cut This knight bought as much fine
French tawny cloth as should make
him a gown, and sent it to the tailor's
to be made. John brakes, a shoe
maker, coming to this ~tailor's and see
ing the knights gown cloth lying
there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the
same price and pattern and make 1t
of the same fashion as the knights.
Not long after the knight, coming in
to the tailor to be measured for his
gown, and perceiving the like cloth
lying there, asked whose it was.
John brakes, the shoemaker, who
will have 1t made Of the self-same
fashion that yours is made Of" "Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make It'll" John brakes
had no time to go for his gown till
Christmas day, when he meant to
year 1t. Perceiving the same to be
full Of cuts, he began to swear at the
tailor. Il have done naught but what
you bid me-" quoth the tailor, for
as Sir Philip Calthrop's garment is,
even so have | made yours" by my
latchet!" quoth John brakes, Il will
never wear ~gentlemen's fashions
again!"-London T. P.'s Weekly.

found. These were taken out, killed
and packed, and the party had gone
to the canoes, but one man still stood
and looked at that pool; wondering
how those fish escaped-for he sup
posed they had jumped the little dam
and gone into the lake.
As he looked at a stump on the far
Their side Of the pool he thought he
saw something move, and, yielding to
an inspiration, he rolled up his sleeve,
thrust In his arm and found beneath
that stump a deep hole that wal fairly
alive with active, w~riggling trout,
some of the finest Of the catch.
Out Of that hole he pulled 20 Of as
handsome fish as Rainbow v Q gave
up, and the mystery was solved. The
flowing water had gradually worn a
place out beneath the stump, but ii
was SO done that, had he not seen that
hsh's head move In the water be-
meath, those trout would never have
taken the journey to Bangor.-Boston

MYSTERY OF POOL SOLVED.
But Party Of Fishermen Nearly Lost
the Best Of Their Catch.

On the shore Of beautiful, crystal
Rainbow lake, in Maine, is a magnif-
cent spring, bubbling up through the
sand in a stream almost four inches
across. The water is held in a basin,
and a party Of bankers and business
men, out for a fishing trip, camped
close by this spring, and utilized the
overflow to make q pool In which to
store their trout as fast as caught,
against the day Of their departure.
Day after day they went forth to
fish, and when they padded back to
the landing, several Of the trout would
be planted In the pool, till nearly
100 handles, running from a pound
and a half to two pounds, swan lazily
about In the cool water, or hid under
the tufts Of grass that bordered the
little basin.
When they came to collect the fish
and pack them away for the trip out,
there was a strange shortage, and
only about go Or 10 flsh could ha

Younsster Probably WIZ Change ideas
In Course Of Time.

There is a small boy in this town,
says the Baltimore American, the
son Of a rather distinguished lawyer,
who has decided opinions on what
constitutes true aristocracy. One day
recently a friend called upon his
mother, and, while waiting for the
hostess, was entertained by the small
boy.
What are you going to do when
you grow up?" was the s~tereotyped
question she p~ropounded in the effort
to start the conversation.
"Oh. / am going to smoke"
"Yes?"
'And chew"
"Oh!n

"And swear"

"And drink corn whisky"
"And why are you going to do such

up by the Abatement Maternel-"The
Mothers Nursing"-to which in the
last ten years Of his life Casimir-
Perier gave much of his energies and
considerable sums of money and
which Senator Plot would possibly Sc
lect as a nucleus for his great system
in which the state is to pay cash for
the babies.
You have doubtless heard Of French
depopulation; but only figures can
bring home to you the long-gathering
result of concentrated French civiliza-
tion-mingling stresses of economy
and luxury! According to the depart
ment infant mortality varies between
% per cent. and 80 per cent.
Convinced of the startling truths of
the Nancy experiment, the founders of
the Abatement Maternel are demand
ing money to do for all the poor or
working mothers of Paris what my
shirt factory is doing for its hands
and what the "Baby's Smile" is doing
for the mothers of Nancy-giving cash
for babies.

Paris.-There is a tragic hole-in-the-
wall in every ward of Paris.
1t is a kind of low window, without
glass, in the side facade of the local
public charities establishment. Look
ing at it, you perceive it ends in a
closed wooden box, movable and dis
connected with the wall inside. 1t
looks like a dumb-waiter or dish-ele-
vator.
1t is a dumb-waiter-not for dishes,
but for babies! Up the dark side
street there comes a wretched mother.
What shall she do with the infant in
her arms? She has reasons not to
answer questions, She shrinks from
investigation. Shall she put baby on
a doorstep?
No; everybody In Paris is aware Of
the strange, sacred holes-in-the-wall of
the Assistance Publique.
She waits until there is not a soul
in the dark side street. She walks
up to the dumb-waiter. 1t is at the
height of mothers waist.
She shifts baby to it. She h~esitates,
1t must be done. She pulls a bell rope.
No bell is heard; but the dumb-waiter
slides to n side-and the baby dis
appears!
Perhaps the poor motheS stands and
looks a moment at the hole. All she
a see is just another waiting box
space-the size of another baby. 1t
is waiting for another bfby. But, in
side the Assistance F%lblique, she
knows her infant is alreW1y warm and
fed and cared for.
There, inside, a bell is ringing.
Dring! dring!

Aided to Responsibility.

Aided to Responsibility.
Secretly. Winter jackets. The coal
supply attended to. The landlord
tranquilized about the rent--and in
doctrinated of his duty not to dis
criminate against children in his
house. Furthermore, he is informed
that the girl-mother is at once mans
victim and the states creditor. In
stead of being cold-shouldered, she
should be aided-to marriage, when
possible-but always to hold up her
head!"
How"
We'll, what is the matter with sup
plying her with a fllled-gold wedding
ring to display on the proper finger?
And why shouldn't her landlord in
struct his ~janitor to speak of her as
a young wife whose energetic husband
has preceded her to Algiers, there to
found a home? Or, II she prefers, a
widow? We are not h~idebound par
tisans of the impossible, like the
Societe de la Charlie Maternelle!"
That rich and powerful society
first of it's kind to help young mothers
and founded as early as 17S4-acts on
the principle of rendering girl-mothers
pecuniarily attractive. Its vast influ-
ence is exercised in every ward of
Paris; and it's unique gesture is to
offer money inducements to young
men to marry their victims-in a
country like France, where the Elm
quiry into paternity" much more the
swearing of a baby, is not enforceable
by law. On condition that they marry,
the Charlie Maternelle will lavish at
tentions on the couple; but, as the
young satisfactory doctor points out,
the girl being nearly always willing,
why should she and the baby lose
their chance to patronage by the back
wardness of an uninterested third
party?
What Paris had neglected-because
modern maternity science had not
sufficiently insisted on Infancy in
augurated by charging and municipal
izing the private Oeuvre de la Ma
ternite of Prof. Alphonse Herrgott,
called "Baby's Smile"
Prof. Herrgott was convinced that
the only way to combat the phenom-
email infant mortality of France was to
prevent any separation of the mot3ler
and her unweaned child.
IF | give money at the start" he
argued, "how will it be employed?
Will l get results? No.
Therefore he said to each mother
quitting his Maternity hospital:
Nurse your babe from your breast;
and in six weeks come back and see
me. The babe will be weighed and
examined. If it is in fine condition,
I'll give you $40 cash."
1t was the first cash for babies in
France!
And the results were magical. In
course of time Prof. Herrgott had Sc
many mothers proudly bringing him
their superb babies-and demanding
money at each weighing--that the
private fortune of the good mar
melted. Fortunately private donations
and substitutes from the department
came to his aid. Now the municipality
has it in hand; the work extends ovel
all Nancy, where the infant mortality
has fallen to three and one-half pei
cent.-lower than in the rich wards
of Paris, where five per cent. was con
sidered phenomenal.

Senator Plots Good Work.

In the French senate there is a man
who already forced the general gov
eminent to begin handing good money
to families of five children. This is
Senator Edme Plot, a highly remarka-
BILE personality.
Son of a Burgundian family so poor
that he was kept from school to work
in the fields, he broke stone on the
highways and worked over all France
as a NAVY; but as early rs 1854 he
was taking small contracts on his own
account; and he finally became the
greatest Of all French railway 0
tractors.
Becoming very rich, Senator Plot
has made himself famous throughout
all Burgundy by a special kind of
liberality-the financial helping of
poor parents.
Actually, he is the great authority
on depopulation; president of the
senate committee relative to subsidies
which the law already permits to be
granted to communes for distribution
to families of five and more, and au-
thor and untiring pusher of a bill for
. the subventioning Of every mother of
a newborn child.
"You ask working mothers to
suckle their babes for a full year
to give you population" he says.
What have they the right to ask
of you? Cash, cash! Give cash for
babies!"

nc isolated case, as | have learned
since, but a factory practice, growing,
growing with the beautiful ardor of a
patriotic, spontaneous movement! How
long ago was it that the charge of an
infant positively injured a woman's
chances of employment? Certainly
it was but yesterday that unencum-
bered girls had preference. Now girl
mothers, even, go before them!
Rooms Always Waiting.
l saw the babies in the shirt fac
tory's nursery, 140 babies from three
years "a few among the eldest) down
to three weeks. That was three
weeks ago. There must be new
ones, Because this extraordinary
shirt factory has three sunny bed
rooms always waiting at the disposi-
ton of prospective mamas.
A capable young doctor is employed
by the year to spend half his time
in the nursery. Ten maids manage to
do all the work, including every
baby's daily bath-this with the help
of mothers, who have the right to
slip in four times a day, ten minutes
each, in alphabetic order; and the 80
minutes aggregated outside the visit
of the lunch hour are not deducted

The First six Weeks.

The First SIX Weeks.
France will do tiff only on the
evidence of the "Baby's Smile" of
Nancy.
why did l stipulate for a first de-
lay of six weeks?" explained Prof.
Herrgott the other day to a rich and
influential Paris audience. and why
is the work called the 'Baby's Smile?'
First, because infant mortality is most
frequent between the ages Of n day,
and six weeks. And, secondly, be-
cause it is during the sixth week that
the first smile appears on baby's lips!
do you not know that? Well, when
a mother has fed baby at her breast
until the epoch when she sees that
smile appear, baby is saved. No
bottle for him! He will not be aban-
doned either by mother or breast"
ION condition that the mother has
the means to keep her baby with her."

the professor. Senator Plot is right.
