Gold.

Gold comes in many and diverse
forms, from the humble toothpick to
the large calf, which, by the way, al
ways draws crowd.
Gold exists, in some form, in every
thing we use, except in gold mines.
1t is need to crown teeth and heads with.
Gold is very necessary in emergencies.
We use it in panics, and when leaving
our self-respect behind us in parlor-
cars.
1t is generally thought that gold is
always passive, not active. But this is
not so. 1t moves the crops, elects the
President every four years, performs
international marriages, ard even en-
ters the ministry.
Gold is obtained in many ways
through battle, murder, sudden death,
pneumonia, and bronchitis. 1t makes
the best substitute for character
known, most people preferring it to the
original article.
Gold, like every other substance,
has a standard. Its, however, the on
ly standard by which everything else
is measured. BY everything we mean
such substances as faith, hope, and
charity.
Gold is used for babies rattles, for
children's lockets, for graduation-pins,
for wedding-rings, for crosses, for an
niversary gifts, and for coffin-handles.

ASSESSOR SHOCKED
Bridgeport Man Files Sworn List in Order to Pay Mil
 itary Tax.
OWNER OF NO PROPERTY
First Document of the Kind Ever Handed in. and Officials
 Have n Chill.

Bridgeport, Sept. 2.-Rlchard T. Crane, third vlce-president of the Eaton, Cole & Burnham Co.,, uncon- scously won for himself this forenoon a unique distinction, that of being the first man In the history of the city who filed sworn list with the board of assessors for the sole pur- pose of paying military enrolment tax.
 Mir. Crane was entirely unconcerned about the matter and was not aware of the fact that he was establishing a precedent, which. if followed by the thousands of other young men In the city who are shirking duty would materially increase the clty's revenue from taxes.
 This is the first day for the filing of property lists and Mir. Crane came into the office primarily to notify the as- sessors that the automobile on which he paid taxes last year was not In his possession any longer he having sold 1t. He talked with William V. Walsh and asked him if there were any other taxes for which he was liable. Mir. Walsh asked him if he owned any property. the amount of jewelry he owned, household furniture, etc, and the inquiry disclosed the fact that Mir. Crane owned no taxable property
 The only thing left is the military tax" said MT Walsh.
 Am l liable for that?" asked MT i Crane.
 Receiving an affirmative reply, he asked for a list and made 1t out, and the first document of It's kind to go or record in the assessors office attracted no little attention there to-day.
 Only owners of taxable property pay either a military and poll tax for the reason that no effort has ever beer made to enforce the law regarding per. sonal taxes of nonproperty owners.
 The tax collector will make out q bill later and MT. Crane will pay B tc the city yearly in the future. He is . former resident of Chicago and the as sessors, after he left the office, threw verbal bouquets at the young manu facturer. Mayor Lee'was pleased wher he heard of the incident.

WASH DAY IN A CHATEAU.
Nine. WaddinstOn's Account Of This
Tremendous Event.

Nine. Waddinston's Account Of This
Tremendous Event.
1t was unfortunate perhaps that we
had arrived during the '1essive." That
is always most important function in
France. writes Mme Waddington in
Scribner's. In almost all the big
houses in the country-small ones. too
that is the way they do their wash
hg. Once a month or once every
three months, according to the size OF
the establishment, the whole washing
Of the household is done. All the linen
--master's. servants, guests, house-is
turned out, the linen closets cleaned
and aired. Every one looks busy and
energetic. 1t is quite a long affair,
lasts three or four days. / often went
to see the performance when we made
our "lessive" at the chateau every
month.
1t always interested our English and
American friends, as the washing is
never done in that way In either OF
their countries. 1t was very conven-
lent at our place. as we had plenty OF
room. The 'lsvoir" stood at the top Of
the steps leading into the kitchen gar
dens. There was a large, square tank
sunk in the ground 80 that the women
could kneel TO their work, then a little
higher another OF beautiful clear wa
ter, all under cover. Just across the
path there was a small house with
blazing wood fire, IN the middle an
enormous tub where all the linen was
passed through wood ashes.
There were four "lessiveuses" cwash-
erwomenl, sturdy peasant women with
very short skirts, sabots and turbans
(made OF blue and white checked cal
ico) on their heads, their strong red
arms barred above the elbow. The Mere
Michon, the eldest Of the four, directed
everything and kept them well nc
work, allowing very little taking. They
generally chatter when they are wash
ing and very often quarrel When they
are washing at the public '1avoir' In
the village, one hears their shrill voices
from a great distance. Our 'lingere." /"
Nine. Hubert. superintended the whole
operation. She was very keen about It
and demonstrated vigorously when
they slapped the linen too hard some
times with the little fat sticks like
spades they use. The linen all came
out beautifully white and smooth,
hadn't the yellow look that all city
washed clothes have.
