In France it is common thing for the wife to be out at wCrk as well as the husband. From this ci. cgnstance, no doubt, have developed the facilities that country affords for obtaining ready cooked food outside the home
 Whole meals can be purchased outside, and they are very good meals too. A whole fowl or a half one or a smaller portion can he bought hot or cold from the rotissier. Soups and salads can be bought in the same way, and In shops where eggs are sold there is always a basket of red eggs as well as white ones, the red color being used to indi- cate that the eggs are cooked. All these things are sold at prices within the reach of all," and in many homes scarcely any attempt Is made to do cooking

GRAVITATiOn.
It's Wonderful and Far Reaching Ef-

It's Wonderful and Far Reaching Ef-
 fects Upon the World.
 '1The effects of gravitation are so fa- miliar as to demand only the briefest mention, yet most of us perhaps sell dom stop to consider how far reaching these effects are," says Dr. Henry Smith Williams. But for gravitation the winds would not blow, the waters would not descend, and the mountain tops would not crumble into the val leys. Each particle of pulverized rock would remain where 1t was formed, and there would be no such thing as a mixed sol
 "But as matters are actually arrang- ed gravitation is perpetually active, and every particle of matter is being eternally tugged at and urged to get nearer to the earth's center. So no sooner does a fragment of rock at a mountain crest become loosened than gravitation hurls it crashing down into the valley, shattering 1t into frag- nlents perhaps or at the least grinding off some portions of Its surface as well as of the surface of the rocks against which 1t Is dashed.
 By such means and with the fur ther aid of its handmaidens, wind and water, gravftation works its unceasing purpose of leyeling the surface of the earth. Tn a few brief geological mo- ments it rounds the shoulders of the haughtiest mountain, and, ,4given time enough, it will bring every particle of rock back to the sea bed, whence 1t originally sprang. Short of that, as a transition stage, 1t is forever mixing he different soil constituents on the one hand and sorting them out again on the othcr."- ."-Appleton's.

A Wrond Steer,

A mathematical professor had been invited by a city friend to visit him at his residence in a certain square and had promised to do so. Meeting him some time afterward, the friend in- uuired of the professor why he did not come to see him.
 'T did come" said the mathemati- clan, but there was some mistake. You told me that you lived in square. and I found myself in parallelogram, so I went away again."

Belgium Blows It's Horn.

Belgium, like many continental coun- tries, has its national board of adver- Using. The state, owning, as it does, the railways, must do everything in it's power to increase the passenger traffic, and so England and the adjacent coun- tries are extensively placarded with posters showing Belgium's beauty and pleasure spots. The principal attrac- hons are Ostend and its casino, and the pictorial records of this resort have adorned the boardings of England for many years past.-London Graphic.

STEALS MEAT;
IN JAIL 4 MONTHS
Has to Wait Third of Year
Before Case Comes
to Hearing.

Four monthS In jail awaiting a trial
for taking when he was hungry, two
pounds of meat from his employer, and
then discharged when the case came
up in the superior court this morning,
was the fate of Dan O'Day a Chicago
man. He was discharged by the judge
without any comment and short as was
his trial 1t made q deep impression
upon those In the court room.
Why should man in Indiana Ian
guish four months in jail before he is
given a trial when in the interim
there was a session both in the circuit
and superior court? Was the question
spectators asked each other.
The story of Dan ORay is not gen
orally known it being only one of
many that are equally full of human
interest which are enacted weekly in
Lake county, but which never receive
publicity
A little more than four months ago
O'Day came to Gibson where he found
employment with George Malsilin, a
store keeper, there receiving only
enough money to keep in a constant
state of intoxicatiOn as he explained
in court this morning.
Il am glad I'm free, but it was awful
to be locked up for four months before
receiving a trial." said O'Day this
morning after he was discharged. q
only took the meat because 1 was
hungry and any other man under the
same circumstances would have don,
the same thing. l was to receive my
board and room with Malsilin and one
night he went away to take his mea
and it so happened that I was to 81
without mine. Seeing what was be
fore me I went into the store and from
a piece of meat there, I cut off a slic
with the intention of taking it to the
Jungle where l could prepare it fol
myself, for l wanted something t,
eat, as I could not get it anywhere
else"
