Humane Work That Is Practical.

Other tender hearted women have at
tempted to tighten the burden Of
draught horses with varying degrees Of
success, but 1t has remained for Mrs.
Theodore Thomas, wife Of the great
orchestra leader, to hit ON a practical
remedy for the evil. She is taking
steps to submit to the city council OF
Chicago a mammoth petition for an Or
dinance regulating the tonnage a horse
may be required to draw. 1t Is her
hope that the full legal penalty may be
attached to the measure, and that 1t
will be enforced. She realizes that,
while good many owners Of horses
might be influenced by arguments
based on sentiment there are hundreds
who can be reached only through their
pockets. II she can make it expensive
for an owner to overload a wagon, sne
thinks she will be able to save the
four-footed animals many weary
task.
Mrs. Thomas does not content herself
with having her petition signed by
leading citizens. She goes every day
among the teamsters themselves and.
by simple reasoning. induces them to
add their names to the plea. Her ar
gument Is that 1t Is to the Transfers
interest to see that his horse Is not
overtasked, because he then will be
able to do his own work much more
quickly and so, In time command high
er wages. Many hundreds Of teamsters
have given their signatures to the
earnest woman, and she expects to
have the names OF fair proportion Of
the owners on the sheet before she
takes 1t to the council.

A Nice Calculation.

A Flemish gentleman conceived the
idea that he would only live a certain
time, so he made nice calculation Of
his fortune, which he so apportioned
as to last just the same period as he
guessed his life would extend to.
Strangely enough, his calculations
came correct to the letter, for he died
punctually at the time he had previ-
ously reckoned. He had so far ex-
hausted his estate that after his debts
had been discharged a solitary pair of
slippers represented the entire proper
ty he left. His relatives buried him,
and representation OF the slippers
was carved on the tomb. To-day in
churchyard at Amsterdam his grave
may be seen, the only inscription on
the stone being two Flemish words,
"Effen Nyt" q. e., "Exactly").

GREATEST PORT IN FRANCE.
Commerce of Paris Has Annually

Comm cree of Paris Has Annually
Been Growing in Importance.
! Paris will soon be the greatest port
ty-seven years ago is now nearing com
pletion and when this Is done the gay
capital will have many miles or
wharves capable Of landing thousands
of tons Of merchandise daily. Although
the port is mostly concerned with In
ternal traffic, the Seine at Paris Is also
deep enough to receive ships coming
direct from London. Her commerce OF
this nature has annually been growing
Tn Importance.
Shortly after the war Of 1870 tho
Paris Municipal Council decided to es-
tablish wharves along the river banks
so that boat traffic could be more rap
Idly developed. A vast plan Of iln-
provement was then laid out. The river
was dredged. Locks were established
both above and below the city, SO as
to maintain the river at nearly con-
stant level. Then series Of docks
was established, some of which were
large enough to take Channel steamers
Of moderate tonnage. Such steamers
are now familiar sight at the Port St
Nichols, just opposite the Louvre.
The chief feature of the shipping
which has Paris as its home port is
stone, plaster and other building ma
terial. Huge quantities Of cereals and
wine are also handled. Among the
things which Paris ships to the prov
inces by way of the Seine is refuse de-
rived from old buildings which have
been torn down, and such unattractive
material as chemical manures and SO
forth.
During the year 1906 almost 13,O0O..
coo tons were shipped from Paris. Last
years record surpassed this by another
half million. When the present i'm
provements are completed 1t Is believed
that the annual tonnage will be almost
doubled. Practically all the ground re-
moved In excavating for the city's new
underground railroad was carried away
by Seine boats. All the material used
In Its construction came by the same
-oute.
The only port which at present sur.
passes Paris in annual tonnage Is Mar
seilles, and within the next few months
even Marseilles will have to take Sec
ond place.
