plantations are making an effort to put
it into practical use.
According to the consul generals re-

field will produce three crops a year.
The fiber has strength, firmness, f1exi-
bility and adaptability for bleaching
and dyeing.
It may revolutionize the linen indus

produce seventy-seven tons and the
product includes not only the various
grades of fiber for fine or coarse linen

nv Choice.

I'd rather be happy than sad,
I'd rather be good than bad;
I'd rather rejoice, yes, this is my choice,
Than brood over the troubles I've had.
I'd rather be modest than proud,
I'd rather be quiet than loud;
I'd rather look up, to the sky's golden
cup,
Than walk with my head always bowed.
I'd rather be healthy than sick,
I'd rather be certain than quick;
I'd rather be broke than have it b

I'd rather be sober than tight,
I'd rather be kindly than fight,
Unless, it were true, only fighting

The work to establish the right
I'd rather be free than slave,
I'd rather be noble than brave;
I'd rather be me, with my babe on n,
knee,
Than the richest old man near the grave
I'd rather be lavish than mean,
I'd rather my wife than queen,
And I'd rather my home than the splenr
dors of Rome
or the castles that Europe has seen.

Great was the amazement of a magistrate in Paris the other day when a widow who had been called as a witness appeared at his office in a top hat and a frOck coat, with heI hair cut short and trimly brushed and earrying a neat walking stick This must be a mistake or a joke. the magistrate reflected. and his beEil- derment hardly diminished when the good woman calmly related hat she had actually been wearing mascu- line attire for fully thirty-sevsn years without the exception of single day |" But this Is not allowed" he gasped- Tt Is in my case as privilege" the widow replied. proudly. and then she explained that she had acted as an smisszTy tO Meth in 1STg and had ss- posed iu the Bsz2ine trial. and had been authorized to retain rssr1lins dress in honor of her proEess in that terrible year.
