BEAUTY LAST OF ALL.
Opinions of 10000 Frenchmen on
Qualities Desirable in Wife.

Paris Letter 10 New York Times.
Despite the recent slight increase ip the
French birth and marriage rates reported
recently the crisis in the marriage mar
ket continues to engage the attention
of some of the foremost writer's I'm the
French press. Paul Marguerite, the
womans champion. has an interesting
| article in lie Journal.
He Is Il strong advocate of freer
womanhood In France. NJ. Margueritte's
article does not deal with womans legal
status SO much as with her helplessnesS
in the matter of matrimony.
He lays it down as general axiom
that the French girl wishes to be mar
ried. while the young man wishes to
remain single. The phenomenon of A
| woman preferring to remain spnster
hardly exists in France. The young man
will not marry. or defers marriage un-
til compa arativeIy late in life because he
fears the responsibilities of a household.
Living has become increasingly dear in
Paris. The old simple ways of the eco
nomical French are changing in the
! large towns for greater luxury and dis
play. 1t Is becoming increasingly diff
cult for the man of a small fixed income
to make both ends meet.
The young man does not precisely blame
the girl for the difficulties Of modern eX-
istence, but he does say: She has grown
houSewOrk and avoids the kitchen. Her
ideas are now centered upon dress and an
automobile. She wants a big bank book"
Therefore the unadyenturous young man
says: Il shall not marry unless | can
find wife with money" As Paul Mar
gueritte dryly remarks: This is a busi-
ness arrangement. and business Is bad"
The author declares that men i'm the
industrial and clerk class in France do
not marry the laborious. hardworking
wi w Ia
tact in the offices. Their attitude toward
the feminine worker is either of COM
radeshp or of hostility; il does not lead
to marriage Yet Ii is notorious that
these women are good and economical
managers in their own homes.
In connection with this topic the an
swers to question which L'Intransigeant.
Henri Rochefort's paper. has put to It's
readers, give an interesting insight into
the modern Frenchmans mind. Ii asked
how, in the opinion of its readers. the
following thirteen good qualities i'm Il
woman should be graded i'm point of
Importance: Beauty. kindness, courage,
constancy. fidelity, good-nature, bright.
ness frankness, cleverness wealth,
health, wit and talent.
Some 2U.0Oo men have sent in answers
and the result is surprising.
One would have thought that a French
man would put wealth beauty first:
but no. the majority put wealth about
half way down the list. and beauty last
of all. Neither idealists nor realists were
prepared for such a result.
The quality regarded as the most
precious OF all Is health. Then comes
courage. Frankness comes fourth: then
follow wit. fidelity, cleverness, wealth and
constancy. Last but one comes sood-na-
ture. and last of all beauty.
O: the 20,GO0 replies only 81 placed
beauty among the first half dozen de-
sirabe qualities.

Cost Of English Sport.
From Scribner's.

The domestic exports of the United
Kingdom in 1906 were slightly over s3S
per head while the expenditure and in
vestment for sport Is about $40 per head
or little more than one-fourth as much.
Excluding troops and expenditure on
troops serving outside the United
Kingdom. England only spent the paltry
sum of $4,000. 900 on her army In 1907
and the cost of her naval armament in
the same year was only $16I, ,JU0,tH0
both together considerably less than was
spent for sport. The capital value of
the sporting rents advertised by single
firm of land agents one season not long
ago. reckoning the letting value at per
cent, amounted to $43.750, 900. The IL
censes to kill game bring in a revenue
to the state of something over $4,000
per annum.

DEMENTED MAN DEFRAUDED
OF FORTUNE
WIFE UNABLE TO FIND TRACE
OF SWINDLERS
Woman Comes from New Jersey and
Learns There Is No Such Con-
Germ as Yucaipa Mining
Company
Especia1 to The Herald ]

SAN BERNARDINO. Aug. 2o.-The
strange story of the operations of the
hackers of what is believed to be a
mythical mine in Yucapia valley be-
came known here today, following the
visit of two women in search of the
supposed company which claimed to
have rich claims in that portion of this
county.
One Of the women, Mrs. Harriet l..
Kemp of Newark, N. j., is the widow
of one of the victims of the sharpers
who persuaded him to invest his entire
fortune, estimated at 100000. in the
company, which was said to own
mines of untold riches in the YueaIpa
valley, while he, was in demented
condition.
Kemp, it is stated, invested in the
stock in the east and then, hearing the
claims had been salted, started for this
city to investigate, and, although his
wife heard from him from time to
time, his letters were in such trend
as to indicate that he was out of his
mind, and he was finally found dead in
hospital in Nebraska, where he had
been taken demented. He wrote let
ters of seeing an almost pure ledge Of
gold in one of the claims, which was
situated in the Yucaipa valley within
sight of the orange groves of Redlands
and only short distance from Gold
field. His checks, made out for $1,000
each, were in favor of himself, indicat-
ing that the men who secured his
money were sharp enough to hide all
traces of any transactions. In letters
he advised his wife also to invest and
to sell all of their property and send
him the money.
Mrs. Kemp has retained G.. M. Pitt
man to investigate the existence of the
mythical company and endeavor to 10
cate the men who fieeced her husband
while he was out of his mind. On his
person were found slips purporting 20
be certificates of stock In the "Yucaipa
Mining company, Goldfeld." Mrs.
Kemp says that she has been unable
to locate any company by that name,
either at Goldfield or elsewhere, and
has now come to this city in an en-
deavor to find some trace of the swind-

EXPENSE OF MAINTAINING
FISH AND GAME Is GREAT
In Ten Years Cost of Commission Was
SextupIed, but Hunting Licenses
Furnish Money

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 20.-How much
It costs the state to maintain the fish
and game commission is told in a re-
port issued from the state controllers
office today.
Ten years ago, says the report, it had
sec, 0,000,175 to carry it for two years.
Then the chief source OF income was
the legislature. which appropriated only
such sum as SAT ,000
Now the commission has six times
that former total at its command. For
the fiscal year just closed 1852, AIS. "a
was at its disposal. This sum is largely
the result of the hunting licenses, which
during the year 19O7-S netted $116,569.11
and 190S-9 $1OS, ,165.OS a total of $224.-
73419.
The legislative appropriations for this
period amounted to $S9,500. The last
legislature appropriated only $4,000.
Out of the $352. .475,24 the commission
hal the right to draw on there was
balance of only $87,444.S5 June 80, this
year. The $265,031 between these sums
had been spent for the preservation of
game and fish, salaries. hatcheries,
travel and prosecutions.
