DEATH ON PREOIPIOE.

A dramatic suicide on the mountain
above Veyrier, near Geneva, was wit
messed on Saturday by a number of Al
pinists.
A well-dTessed man ascended q per-
pendicular rock, known as Plein Peril,
on the mouutsin and stood an instant on
the summit, from which there is q sheer
drop of 300 feet.
he then drew q revolver from bis
pocket and fred into his mouth, falling
to the bott>m of the precipice dead.
In his pockets we're found gold watch
bearing the name of A. Chspslet, a
chain, about 81 10 money, and photo
graph of beautiful young woman on
her desthbed dressed in bridsl robes and
surrounded with flowers.
The police also found on him piece
of paper on which was written in pencil:
"Heaven have pity on me. cannot
suffer more. / feel my reason going. 1t

FRANCE Is SLOWLY DYING.

The steadily progressive decline in the
birth rate of France is a subject of con-
slant preoccupstion among political
economists. Certainly statistical re-
view of the situation published in Opin-
ion by M. de FOville, member of the
inststnte and president OF the Acsd-
emnie des Sciences Morales ct Politiques,
accentuates the national gravity Of the
question.
The latest figures prove that France IS
a nation is slowly but surely dying. ln
100 years the birth rate has fallen from
92 per 100 to 1871 and at the present mo-
ment, fer the first lime In history, and
in France alone among nations, the
deaths exceed the birth.

TOOK TIE WRONG ONE.

A group of seronauts were telling
balloon stories 10 the smoking-room OF
a Chicago hotel. Capt. d. E. Honey
we'll, who with the "Fieldiog-Aotonio"
balloon was later to break oil long
distance speed records, laughed and
said:
"The grsst Elyot made a balloon as
cent from Charleston one hot summer
stsrnoon. A thunderstorm came up.
Elyot. amid buckets of rsin, the roar of
thunder and the fash of lightning,
was blown about like thistledown. On
toward midnight he found himself over
a plsntstion and threw out his anchor =
erspnel at the eud of long rope.
'1t happened that colored man had
died In one of the huts of this plarta-
tiou. The funeral was "a take place in
the morning. A dczsn friends Of the
dead man sat in the soft summer night
before the hui, telling ghost stores.
"5uddenly, in the darkness above
them, they heard strange noises-a
Tapping of great wings, menscing cries.
And they saw dimly formless black
shape.
Gan but one man ran. This one
man, as he covered on his stool, had
the i'll luck to be seized by the grapnel.
"The grsppel, goirg at a great pace,
whirled bim up four or FIVE feet in the
air and jerked him along at the rate OF
10 miles or 30 an hour.

MAKING FARMING PAY.

There is no way of making farming
pay except by making each day con-
tribute something to the profit Of the
farm. Line upon line, precept upon
precept day by day-these are the
rules of successful farming. Neglect,
Indifference, lack of continuous labor
these are fatal. Nature never stands
still. Work in her laboratory goes on
every day in the year and every hour
OF the twenty-four in each day. The
farmer must initiate nature in this.
He ought to regulate his work so as to
secure the greatest results with the
greatest comfort. There are periods
of the year when the weather does
not permit him to work out of doors,
but these days can be we'll occupied
about the house and the barn.
Moreover, a man Is thinking ma
chine, and the farming man should
be thinking about farming methods.
We do not mean that he should think
of nothing else, but if he is going to
have satisfaction in, and good results
from, his work he must put himself
into it. He must put his thoughts up
on his crops, upon his soil upon his
markets. He ought to keep record;
If not daily record, a diary. He
ought to keep a running story Of the
years work so that he may know next
January what he did wrong last Jan
uary, or what he failed to do at all,
what he ought to have done, or what
he did that turned out well. 1t will
not do to trust to ones memory for
these things. Time plays us many
tricks, and as we get older we re-
member many things that did not hap
pen, and we forget the things that
everybody about us well remembers.
Do not suppose that you can make
money on the farm In any happy-go-
lucky manner. What you want is me-
thodical work, continuous work, intel
ligent work The future belongs to
the American farmer. He has done
in this year work that has saved the
whole country from disaster, but un-
less it has saved the individual farm
er from disaster he will take little
comfort in it. When we say that the
future belongs to the American farm
er we do not mean that 1t belongs
to the indclent farmer, nor TO the
negligent farmer, nor to the farmer
who does not care what happens so
it does not happen to him. 1t belongs
to the industrious farmer, the intelli-
gent farmer, the man who learns by
his own mistakes and the mistakes Of
his neighbors. Home and Farm.

For the Waist.

Now that the lingerie waist is SO
very generally worn in all seasons, the
girl who travels likes to know of some
way in which she can keep her supply
clean and fresh.
1t is always better to carry ones
waists in the top Of the dress-suit
case, where they will not become so
badly crushed and can be held in
place by straps.
A very dainty case in which to
carry them can be made of some
fancy cretonne cut something like an
oblong envelope, excepting that the
ends should be left square, and should
be long enough so that when folded
over they will overlap at the center;
then bring up the sides, cut to a point
so that they will meet at the center
just like an ordinary envelope, and
tie.
The case should be bound all
around with satin ribbon, with ties on
the points, and when closed should be
just large enough to fit into the suit
ease

with a golden tassel which tickled my

The tassel slipped down and tickled
my ear. | coiled it back and smoked
on.
"And what do you suppose she

''Never!' l cried.
Augustus! Yes! A silver-handled
walking stick, and he came out swing,
ing it this morning. Such 100000,
oolish present. If it were something
useful like that jewel case you gave
me"
The clock interrupted her by begin
ming to strike nine. 1t was the hour!
Josephine gave me solemn look and
nod and Immediately l fetched her
jewel case.
with another solemn look Josephine
unscrewed her earrings and placed
them in the jewel case. Her ring fol
lowed. Dutifuliy then gave her my
scarfpin and sleeve links. Josephine
solemnly locked the box and looked at
me at last with a beaming eye.
"There!" said Josephine.
"There!" said /.

Demand for Soft silks.

How far away we are from the old
stiff silks that cracked and tore up al,
most before they were made up!
The woman Of to-day demands that
silks be soft, pliable and cling to the
figure so as to accentuate it's lines.
She will not a moment consider the
use of stiff, unwieldy fabrics.
This has resulted in the manufac-
ture of exquisite chiffon taffetas that
drape as softly as crepe. OF these lat
ter there is an abundance to choose
from this fall, as well as the supple,
brilliant liberties, which are. being
daily more used for the wonderful
creations of the Paris modiste.
Tussor, the softest of silk or silk
and wool, is almost always shown in
solid color, but sometimes appearing
in Pekin effects, with graduated
stripes, which offer splendid oppor.
tunity for novel combinations of color.
