SILENT GIRL IS ATTRACTIVE.

There are few negative virtues which con-

those associated with him or her, than tai

to speak, and equally when to be silent, is no
small part of the necessary equipment for
life. Many n man passes for wise simply

WHERE sNA1Ls ARE EATEN.

France is the premier snail produc- ing nation, although Austria Bavaria ana Switzerland have thousands of snail farms, where the famous escar- gots are raised and fattened on vine leaves. The demand for snails in France is far too great for the supply to be left to chance, and thus il. comes about that snail farming is an import ant industry Paris alone consumes millions between September and May, when these little creatures are at their best.
 In great cities of Europe are stores devoted entirely to them, each orna- mented by an immense gilt snail over the door as sign. Huge tubs of snails in the rough are displayed, and there are besides dishes of carefully prepar- ed meilusks all ready for eating. These have been cooked. extracted from their shells and minced. The meat is then mixed with butter. chopped parsley and herbs, and the shells, trimmed and made attractive, are refllled with this prepared paste.
 The most popular snails to-day come from Dijon and Macon, in Burgundy, where they are fed on vine leaves, and the parks, as the local snail farms gre called, open their gates in the month of August, when the little crea- lures bestir' themselves actively Chicago News.

THE PROTESTING CLERGY.

AS a matter of fact, how many of the excellent gentlemen who protest so violently are familiar with the coinage of the United States? It was not until 1864 that the words whose disappearance agitates them first ap- peared onl the 2-cent piece which has long since been withdrawn from cir culation. In 1866 the motto was first stamped on the eagle. Can any of the clergymen now so bitterly con demning President Roosevelt say off hand, without examining the coins, on which pieces of currency the motto in God We Trust Is and is not to be found? Is there a single one that knows as an actual fact that it ap- pears on the quarter. half-dollar and dollar silver pieces and on all the gold, and does not appear on the l. cent, 5-cent and 10-cent pieces How many practical men in everyday life can describe correctly the designs and lettering on one and all of these coins? Here is a simple test as to the effect of the motto upon the daily life of the average person.
 As one self-restrained minister raHhly ventures to remark, the pro test of his brothers is "misapplied en- erry, and they are wasting their time on trivalities when more important matters demand their attention New York World

QUALITY THEN, QUANTITY NOW

But to-day the mighty Roosevelt, in thes great heap of his wisdom, and of his { abounding grace and mere motion, adds s100,0G0, 000 of fiat money to the existing currency. not to pay govern ment expenses or old debts, but to supply the hoarding banks and indi- viduals with more money to hoard I if we are to believe all the tales about hoarding that we hear I for one. do not believe them, and ascribe the eur rency trouble to quits a different < cause.

home, as If to go on some business
errand, made straight for the cathe-
dral tower, climbed II, and without an
instants hesitation, hurled himself in
to space. History relates that no one
has jumped from this tower since the

attributes the same fate, small bits
OF brass marking the spot on the
pavement where he fell.
