Never throw away empty cotton
reels; they have a hundred uses. In
most kitchens there is a row Of nails
on which aprons and dishcloths are
hung, with the result that they are
frequently torn and rust-markcd. This
will be prevented if you force on each
nail one of your empty reels; nothing
could make more useful peg. A spool
will make an excellent stop to prevent
the door from opening too far and
banging the furniture. Cover the spool
with thick cloth TO prevent its inturiug

longitudinal groove equal in diameter
to the clothes line. The center Of the
strip is slightly narrower than the
ends and carries movable ring. As
shown in the Illustration, the ends Of
the strips are placed over the ends OF
the articles to be suspended for dry

end, which causes the grove to tightly

There are lots of little chickens
In the garden, and the pigs
Are nosing now and grunting
In amongst the barley rigs;
And the hawthorn bush is blooming,
And its fragrant blooms are red,
Across three thousand miles of sea
From where lay my head,
And, oh, but l am lonesome
For the days that used to be.
And. oh, if l could reach them
Reach the blossoms on the tree
I'd weave an old-time crown of them
To deck my flowing curls,
And play at queen the way l used
When we were little girls.
l hear the little chickens
Chirp as glad as they can be;
And, oh, the longin', longn' of
The homesick heart O me
It's the time for plantin' taters
And the hawthorn blooms are red
That used to shake their petals down
To nestle on my head.

At all, at all. at all
I'm lonesome for a sight O. them;

FRENCH ELECTION BILL
Proportional Representation win Be
Feature Of the New Act,
NECESSITY FOR sye-sLtcTloNs AVOIDED
voters May Cast as Many Ballots for
One Candidate as There
Are Deputies from
District

PARIS, March 1g.-The text Of new bill
which If passed, will introduce a complete
change in the French Parliamentary cleo
toral system has just been adopted by the
universal suffragist committee OF the cham
Der Of deputies and will shortly be brought
up for discussion.
The bill is based on the principles of
proportional representation and ticket vot-
ing whilst the committee, carrying out
what II believes to be the general desire,
has increased the period OF the deputies
mandate to six years instead Of four as at
present. At the same time the number of
representatives is to be reduced from 5Sl
to about 400. BY the new system each de-
partment is to be regarded as distinct
electoral district, entitled to return one
deputy for every $4,000 voters and one in
addition in case the division Of the total
number Of voters into fractions Of 6,0OO
leaves a majority fraction Should any de-
partment by reason of its population be
entitled to more than ten deputies 1t will
be subdvided into two or more consti-
tuencies, each to be treated as a separate
department for electoral purposes and
entitled to elect as many deputies as it con-
tains multiples OF $1,000 electors.
"Plunker" system Permitted.
An innovation as far as France is con-
cerned Is to be introduced into the method
Of voting. Each voter is to be given as
many votes as there are deputies 20 be
elected in his department or constituency
and he may either distribute them among
the candidates or cast them all for one.
In order to avoid the recurrence of bye
elections by reason of the resignation or
death OF deputy 1t is proposed that
Vacancies in the chamber shall be filled
by candidates unsuccessful at the general
election in the department represented by
the retiring or deceased deputy, the high
est on the list, according to the number
of votes cast for him, having the right to
claim the seat provided he has not in the
meantime been deprived of his civic rights
for any reason and so on until the list is
exhausted.
The only reason for a bye-election, ac-
cording to the bill, is in case a vacancy
should occur more than six months before
fresh general election is due and no I'M
successful candidate should be eligible or
DESTROYS Of filling the seat.

Elliott on city Problem.
Rev. George Elliott, d. D.. OF Chicago
spoke on the subject of 1.-THE City Prob
lem"
Il am afraid of that word problem" he
said. There are no problems to confront
when people want to do things Work and
love soon auickens our wits and gives us
strength. The modern city is a fruitful
field for evangelistic purposes. The first
city was built by a murderer and the last
by a Redeemer. The first was cemented
by a brothers blood and that last by the
blood of an elder brother"
80 all of our cities are cemented in
blood. There is the Holy City and Baby
Ion. Babylon went down and the Holy City
came down. Man is a gregarious animal
and must go in crowds. The village or
community system first prevailed and then
the city. God ordained that sheep and use
full animals should crowd out the lions and
tigers. Early society began In the village
community in the old world. But it is diff
ferent In our country. The interest of the
city is the human interest. In the city the
works Of man are more visible than the
works of God. The city is the brain and
life of the community In 1900 but 5 per
cent Of the population OF America lived in
| the cities. In 1900 over 1854 per cent live in
the cities. While in fifty years our rural
| population has doubled the urban popuIa-
ton has increased tenfold. with this ratio
of progress within twenty years one-half
OF our population will be in the cities.
