The French Sunday.

1t is really remarkable to find the
French Chamber adopting an obliga-
tory Sunday rest for the working
classes by majority of SIS to 1.
Probably the one considered that this
salutary proposal was trucking to
religion, which, of course, is not to
be contemplated for moment, and it
is rather astonishing that not more
than one Deputy did so. The demand
for one days rest in seven. in France
as in England, comes really quite
as much from those who have no wish
that any of the leisure so gained shall
be spent in church as from the re-
ligious; and, with the provision of
shifts for the special cases of res
taurants, museums, bakeries and the
like. Sunday is obviously the most
convenient holiday for the community
in general. While the British Sun
day is becoming much less British
than it was, it is very noticeable that
the Continental Sunday is gradually
decontinentalizing itself. - London

American Cultivator, many boys leave

their talents will not find scope on

full and educated farmers to preach
the need of brains and science in
farming until none of our bright
young farmers sons would throw
away their best and surest chances
for any such mistaken notion as that
of the young man last quoted Mean
while, until the advantages of agri-
culture are more generally recog-

energetic young man with a special

have the field pretty much to him

take leading position in various

ELSIE SIGEL SLAIN
IN CHINESE RESORT
Mother Identifies JeWeIry Found
in Bedroom.
GIRL MISSING FOR TWO WEEKS
Granddaughter of General Franz ST.
gel, Civil War Hero, Clicked to
Death With a Clothesline and
TANNED Into Trunk.

New York City.-The body Of Elsie
Sigel, twenty years old, granddaugh-
ter of General. Franz Sigel, was found
damned into a trunk in a fat former
ly occupied by two Cinnamon on the
fourth floor of No. 1872 Eighth ave-
nue.. The young woman, who had
been missing from her home over a
week, had been strangled with a
clothesline. The body was in the
trunk evidently five or six days. Paul
Sigel, of No. zoo Wadsworth avenue,
the girls father, when he first viewed
the hardly recognizable body, denied
it was that of his daughter.
The body was clothed in white UNI
derwear and white cotton waist.
The feet were bare and the hair free,
hanging in thick, brown mass. A
woman's black hat, small umbrella
and a pea-green jacket with cream
white lining lay on the bureau.
The other members of the family
fought against believing the girl had
been murdered in the Chinamen's liv-
ing quarters, but when trinkets be-
longing to the girl and letters she
had written to Chinaman were
found in the fat and shown to the
mother, she accepted the death Of her
daughter as a fact, and Sigel adj
mitted the identity of the body. Mrs.
Florence M. Todd, missionary work.
er among. the Chinese, was the first
to identify the body positively in the
Morgue.
The police suspected Lung Linn, an
Americanized Sunday-school China
L L., l. IL 13or, T
Leon, and Chung Sin, both of whom
formerly occupied the two-room fiat,
now deserted, in the rear of the top
floor. A picture of one of these men
was found in the Sigel home, and
both Thomas L. Bunnell, curb bro
ker, in the Hotel Bristol, and Chi
girl recently and heard him speak of
her These two Cinnamon vanished
from their fat almost a week before
the tragedy was uncovered.
The death of the girl seems to nave
resulted from the desire to do mis-
sionary work, which led both Mrs.
Sigel and her daughter to make
friends with Cinnamon in Sunday
schools and teach them the Scrip
lures Either one or both of the
Cinnamon may have gained the conf
1ence of the girl and led her away
from home The police say there is
reason to believe she had been kept a
prisoner. Evidently telegram signed
with the girls name and received by
her father on June 2 from Washing
ton, D. c., was sent by some one other
than Miss Sigel.
She was member of one of the
most prominent German families in
the city. Her grandfather was one
of the most famous heroes in the
Civil War. A monument to him was
unveiled in Riverside Drive, when
Governor Hughes made a speech
praising the warrior.
The Generals sons and grandchil-
dren gathered at the exercises, and
the girl who was murdered assisted
in the unwilling. Her father is an
employe in the Health Department.

Boston's school authorities have
under consideration plan, proposed
by DR.. Richard c. Cabot, designed to
prevent tuberculosis and diphtheria
spreading among school children
DR.. Cabot's plan, as outlined to the
committee, is for one hundred bac-
teriologists, whom he feels confident
will work without payment, to take
cultures of the children week or
more before school opens. These will
be tested, and day or so before the
school term begins the children who
are infected with disease will be
isolated before they have an oppor-
tunity to carry the disease into the
schoolrooms.

Grasping his canoe companion
around the waist as their craft, in
danger Of becoming upset, was sweep
ing through the water power raceway
into the Delaware River at Trenton,
Kenda Eleod, professor of ceramics
in the Trenton Art School, waited I'M
til they reached a shallow spot. Then
he threw the girl into the water. The
action probably saved her from
drowning, as she could not swim and
the artist had all he could do to reach
shore after the canoe was sucked into
the whirlpool where the raceway
joins the river. This spot is always
dangerous. That day the raceway
was raging torrent, and the canoe
was hurled to the river, forty feet
below, with speed that seemed like
that of an express train.

Any one who has reached the age
of seventy-f1ve has noticed the disap-
pearance of the small brooks where
he played in his district school days,
while larger ones have shrunk to
summer threads, and rivers that
filled their banks all the year are
hardly more than rivulets in sum-
mer, says the Independent. Commits
sioner Whipple, of New York State,
tells us that tho upper Hudson, in
August, 1907, had no more than two
inches of water where 1t used to roll
heavy volume. There is substan-
tial agreement that this change has
been due to the denudation of our
hills and valleys of the water-hold-
ing trees. 1t takes century to grow
such forests; it has taken half CEN
fury to destroy them.

INJURED, as after one moment he bent
his head and their lips met.
Dorothy was no shy, coy maiden;
she was woman, with all the attri-
butes of a woman about her. His
heart, his senses were blinded by the
Joy her love brought him.
why have you not spoken to me
before?" she asked, half reproach-
fully, as they rose at last to go home
ward, and she slipped her hand
through his arm.
"Have you hungered for my words,
dearest?" he asked, interpreting her
speech as meaning only more glad
ness for him. .'Ah, if you only knew
how often ! have been tempted, how
often my heart has failed mel"
did you think should be unkind
to you, Gervais?"
81 don't know what thought You
are so beautiful, so wonderfully love
ly, my sweet, feared you might have
nothing to say to me-"
Foolish boyi' Dorothy laughed
softly, and she lifted her lips once
more to his.
And now it is really true, and
hold you in my arms, my life, my
wife-yes, my wife--I can scarcely
believe it,"
Dorothy chung to him suddenly.
Eyes, yes; your wife!" she repeat
ed, hurriedly. 'Gervais, make me
your wife soon; don't let US wait
long; am frightened"
Frightened at what, my darling?"
and he gently caressed the golden
curls on her forehead; nothing
earthly shall harm you while l am
near you"
Il am frightened lest you should
be taken from me-" the girl said, and
for one moment her cheeks blanched,
and even her lips turned pale. "Oh,
think of that Think how awful it
would be, Gervais; So
He folded his arms closer around
her
you cannot long for our marriage,
Dorothy, as do; it has been golden
dream SO long, I yearn for the reali-
zation."
Dorothy laid her head on his shotil-
der and carried his hand to her lips.
Il am ready when you ask me, Ger
vais," she murmured, and there was
an eager, anxious look in her eyes
which he did not see. Don't think
me terribly forward" she added, with
soft laugh, IF say / cannot bear
the thought of waiting, dear"
Gervais' heart thrilled fast; he saw
in this only a reproduction of his
own great love, and it brought full
and complete qualification.
I'VE will speak to our mother,
dearest" he said, tenderly.
Eyes, dear mother will tell us our
best course" Dorothy agreed softly,
but her face was turned from him,
and he did not see the frown that his
words had conjured up. Dorothy was
not. only wearied with Lady Derri-
man, she was jealous of her, too.
She could not understand the love
that Gervais had for his mother, nor
the respect and admiration he poured
upon her. But the time had not quite
arrived when Dorothy could arrange
things as she liked, and so she posed
as loving child, anxious for Lady
Derriman to settle matters as she
liked, the while the girls selfish, all
dominant nature fretted and fumed
beyond expression.
