There is a general impression abroad

LECTURES ON FRANCE.
Miss Schmidt Tells of the Country,
People and Art.

A, Interesting lecture on France: Her
People and Her Art was given at the
Public Library last evening by MISS Anna
Seatou Schmidt under the auspices OF
the National Society of the Fine Arts.
Having resided many years in france
Miss Schmidt gained an intimate knoWl-
edge of her subject. and spoke from the
standpoint of a sympathetic though I'M

habits of living which are widely dlf1er-

referring to the frugality of the french,
Miss Schmidt described the work and
life of the French rag pickers. and, in
contrast, cited the peasant life of the
Bretons.
Finally, touching upon French art. Miss
Schmidt showed how the pleasure-loVins
people had given and are giving to the
world a gospel of labor. The peasant
people are. she declared. more fond of the
idealized peasant pictures of Jules Breton
than the sterner and more realistic ones
of Miliet. But from Millet to the great
Rodin the effort of the French artist has
been to upiift and glorify honest toll.

Miss Schmidt illustrated her lecture by
means of numerous stereopticon slides,
many of which were made from photo
graphs which she had taken.

these is fresh pork, thoroughly cooked.

The Care of Lamps.

Keeping lamps I'm condition TO burn
brightly without odor seems a simple
task, but rarely is II accomplished. If
but one light is to be attended to the
problem is simple but when there are
several lamps one seems always out of
commission. either through neglect to fill
with oil or carelessness in trimming
A woman who keeps a we'll ordered
house with but one servant has taken the
lamp question into her own hands, with
such success that the results more than
justify her time and trouble. She has five
lamps to care for, and as they give light
as we'll as being ornaments the Wlcks
must be kept always at their best.
Her equipment for this work consists of
q gallon can Of OIL which the maid of all
work fills every morning from a barrel. a
pair OF scissors cloth and an old soft
tooth brush To protect her hands from
soil she wears an old pair of her hus-
bands leather gloves
All these implements are kept together
in drawer and after giving household
orders for the day she dons the gloves
and starts for the lamps. None is ever
taken from its place. but each is filled and
cared for whore 1t stands. This saves
much moving, and when done by care

Washing the Chimney.
Each shade and chimney is removed

After taking off the top works. as 1t
were, the oil tank screws are removed and
each lamp is filed. Instead of putting
down the can when the last Is replen-
| ished the woman takes 1t at once to the
pantry. putting 1t in IT'S place. thereby
avoiding confusion the next day.

BARBER POLE TO BE MODEST.
Flamboyant Signs Cannot Be Put
Out on Sidewalks.

To make barber pole signs as incon-
spicuous as possible is the object of the
latest campaign of the police department.
The first steps were taken recently in
the first precinct. The police have an
nounced their intention to insist that the
police regulations are fully obeyed.
ndar the latest amendments. barber
signs can be erected only on permit from
ar of buildings. Those permits
require that no sign projecting beyond
ell, Guild .ng line shall be less than eight
feet above the surface Of the sidewalk
unless securely attached to and wholly
In contact with the building wall.
This prohibits. 1t is declared. the barber
poles which are put out in front of such
shops when work Is begun i'm the morning
and taken in when the shops close.
Capt G.. H. Williams of the first pre-
cinct has recently submitted to the Com
missioners. through the superintendent OF
police. a report showing that twenty-five
barber pole signs are being maintained
in the first precinct in violation of the
notice regulations.
