 Naturally. this sort of work can be done only by a woman. A man would be useless. In realization of this fact. most cities have devoted great care to the building up of the force of ma irons.

Throughout the first four months of the year nothing arose to cause any serious alarm in the trade. though there was an uneasy feeling in Lancashire that tod many spinng mills had been erected: that the supply of yarn then would be iarge- Fly in excess of the demand.

views on the British France Bill, which > he regards ss essentially so- ciaiistic and inimicai to the rights of property. He maintains that there has been kind of rivalry between the British and the French Govern, ment in the development of the death duties. As an example of the way in which death dutiess may be. developed until they assume the aspect of con- fiscation, M. LeRoy Beau1ieu points out how these duties In France have gradually been increased both with. regard to the amount of the estate and the, legatee's degree of kinship to the testator. He refers to the new proposals Of the present French Fi- nance Minister, NJ. Cocbery. who, ai- though heis accounted moderate man. Is credited with the intention of in-' creasing the maximum duty to ss.25 per cent when the proposed scheme of workmen's pensions. comes into force.
 The Guillctines Revived.
 Enormous satisfaction is felt in the country parts of France over the revival of the suiiiotine. Crimes of violence were really becoming too frequent. so that the life of any old or Isolated person was not safe. As a consequence of this punishment. there is already a diminutation in the num- Der of murderous assaults. Yet the press Is doing its utmost to throw It's utmost discredit on the revival institution. It is grossly sensational The detailed accounts of the triple execution at yalence were revolting in their descriptions. One newspaper went the length of photographing the victims when they were under the knife. In another photograph taken just before the condemned men were thrust under the guillotine, there

Paris. Oct 25.-Just at the moment when Prime Minister of France. M Briand. by his presence In the Cath edral Of Versailles at the funeral ser : vices of the victims of the accident to she airship Republiaue, has acted In a spirit contrary to what has been for some years the tradition of. Republi- can Ministers. and thereby taken a step which is obviously Intended to mark the conciliatory spirits of the present government towards the Cath oIic Church. the Archbishop and Bish- ops of France have published aspastor- al letter "on the rights and duties of parents with respect to the schools" The French clergy thus continue the new campaign against lav education of which the first manifestations were recorded on September 1s last year.
 The collective letter Of the French Cardinals. Archbishops. and Bishops which was addressed twelve months ago to French fathers and familiess on the question of primary schools ,Sin France was what may justly be desig- mated the first Independent public demonstration of the Church of France. It followed hard upon the organization of an association in all the French, cornmunes of local associations of parents who. under the presidency af the parish priest were to make 1t their business to exercise the strictest surveillance over all that is said and done in public schools. By the publication of the present pas toral letter the French Parliament is reminded. on the eye of the elections that the entire French episcopato is behind this conceted effort to reform he French school sysem.
 The Church is. of course. the best judge of its own interests, but inde- pendent observers point out that the present revival of. the long protracted war between the Roman Catholic Church and the State has been initi- ated by the Church itself. and that the State has offered no fresh pretext for this flank movement directed by the Vatican. The Radical. party in the French Chamber could ask forsnothing better from the point of view of their own political interests at this jnnct- ure. st6 ss5

DON'T USE STRONG PERFuME.

DON'T USE STRONG PERFUME.
 It cannot be denied tilat tsas o,ior of cleanliness psoduced by liberal use of soap and water is more pleasing to those of fastidious tastes than the re- doierice Of strong perfumes. But who can say a word against the almost imperceptible ordor of a good sachet.
 To me the faint fragrance of san dalwood Is very restful and refresh ing. Since my early childhood days when wore short chain of carved sandalwood beads. have cherished a devotion to that scent.
 It is said on authority, and believe 1t. that perfumes affect the nerves. Some soothe, some irritate, according to the individual temperament. It is when your head aches that you can choose the particular scent that is best suited to you.
 An envelope of some good sachet in your shirt waist box. one in the drawer where you keep your wells. gloves and handkerchiefs. sone-in your hat box and in chiffonier drawers where underwear Is kept. will perfume your belongings sufficiently. If you have a weakness for strong perfumes swear. off and try my plan. I'm sure you will be pleased. and 1t Is safe to say your friends who are averse to strong perfumes will welcome the change.

Van Runs Amuck

INSTEAD of turning northward in the noun

Water claim, Van continued straight ahead to
Goldite. The letter to Beth was heavy in his
pocket. Until he should rid himself of its bur
den, he knew he should have no peace, no free
dom to act for himself.
He had been DELAYED. The sun setting
when at last he rode his bronco to the hay yard
in the camp and saw that he was fed with
proper care. Then he walked to Mrs. Dicks.
Beth, from her window, looking toward the
sun, discovered him coming to the place. She
had never in her life felt so wildly joyous at be.
holding any being of the earth. She had
watched for hours, counting his steps across the
deserts desoation one by one, tracing his
course from Starlight home by all the signs
along the trail that she and he had travelled to-
gether.
She ran down stairs like child. She had
momentarily forgotten even Glen. Nothing
counted but this sight of Van, his presence here
with herself. When she suddenly burst from
the door into all the golden glory of the sunset

ABOUT OLD AGE PENSIONS.

As regards private or quasl-public

ment. according to the Chicago Rec

is slowly gaining ground without the
spur OF legislation. The New York
Central lines, il Is announced. are
about to Put into effect an old-age
pension system for all their employees
that reach the age of seventy. Manu-
featuring companies. banks and other
concerns have adopted the pension
feature as a guaranty of greater eff
cheney and zeal. Security for old age
after a lie OF honest industry is rs
necessary as il is just, and whore
legislation Is out OF the question SELF
