PROTECTING LITTLE HOMES.

The French chamber Of deputies has
recently passed a bill providing for the
safety of the small home. and the
measure was being favorably discussed
in the senate when Consul Mason made
his report on the matter to the depart
ment at Washington some time since
Whether the measure became a law OF
not can only be conjectured. as the
subject has not been mentioned in the
press reports. but It is fair TO presume
that it is now on the statute books
Consul Mason says:
BY the terms of this proposed new
Jaw a homestead. up to a certain val
ue will be made absolutely UnseizablC
under any circumstances, whether for
debt or otherwise. The purpose in
view Is to prevent small rural home
steads from getting into usurious OF
other hands by rendering it impossi-
bic to take possession of the humble
cottage which shelters a family, or
distrain on the instruments of hus-
bandry or other tools necessary for
earning d livelihood.
At the same time the projectors
have in mind as a result of the law to
encourage wOrkingmen to buy the free
hold of their homes for their families,
under guaranty that such homes will
be secured to them in permanenee by
the state. end can not be taken from
them under any claim or pretext; and
by this means also to diminish the exc
dus of working people from the country
to the cities.
The value of the property which
thus will be rendered unseizable under
distraint is not TO exceed 5000 francs
Cs1.54D: except in certain cases 1t is
proposed, where dwellings or apart
ments have been acquired on excep-
tionaIIy low terms, in keeping with an
existing beneficiary building law.
With the consideration on the part
Of the senate of certain by-provisions.
such as appropriation in case Of public
necessity, insurance. the conditions IN
der which household property shall be
established. and who as family shall
be capable of administering it, this
praiseworthy statute win soon be en-
acted and put in force"
1t is an encouraging sign that in the
onward march of civilization. the law
makers of one country have turned
their attention TO those in humble cir
cumstances and have endeavored TO
protect the little homes where the bulk
of the men of the future who may be
called upon to defend the fatherland
on bloody battlefields are being nur-
tured. The philosophy of the French
chamber Of depute s is sound. Fami-
lies who own the roofs which cover
their heads are in better condition TO
fight HES battles and take a ten
fold greater interest in the government
under which they live than those who
are compelled TO shift about from post

SOUTHERN CYPRESS KNEES.
How They Are Formcd-Trees' Curl.
GUS Blunt Roots.

The cypress knee Is a familiar OBJ
Ject In all the lowland forests of the
South, but there are thousands OF
Northern people who have never
seen them, and there are many
Southern people, too, who have not
seen them till they stumbled over
them some dark night. The knee is
of solid wood, has no limbs or leaves,
Is anywhere from 6 inches to 6 feet
In height, and its rounded top and
tlattened sides give 1t very much the
9 shape of a human leg bent at the
knee till thigh AMI calf are brought
together; hence the appropriate
name of knee"
For number of years | was curl
Gus as to what part the knees played
in the life OF the cypress tree, writes
correspondent of Forest and
Stream, for they are part of its sys-
TEN and do not grow Independently.
They were not sprouts, trying to
grow into trees, for they never de-
yeloped branches and the final con-
clusiOn was that their only use was
for people to stumble over. How
and why such useless appendages to
the tree were formed was a mystery
until one day, when drifting down a
deep channel which had been washed
through a cypress swamp, the secret
was exposed.
The earth had been washed away
from the roots of some of the trees,
and roots in all stages of growth
were in sight. None OF these roots
was less than 21s inches thick and
of uniform size clear to their tips,
or rather clear to their blunt ends,
for there was no tip.
Nature intended these roots to
grow In soft mud, and they were all
right for that purpose, but when
the blunt end of a root encountered
something too hard to push through
least resistance, and this was gener-
ally toward the top of the ground,
1t bent or buckled in the line OF
and the continuing growth OF the
root pushing the bend further up
ward made the bend closer, until
finally the two arms of the bend
were close together and they grew
together; with one sheet of bark en-
closing both.

INVEST IN BARRIER SHOPS.
A Dozen New York Shops Owned by
Two Brothers Not BARRIERS.

Two bfOtnerS NOT BARRIERS.
Two brothers, manufacturers by
trade and utterly unacquainted with
the barbering business, have chosen
barber shops as an investment for
their surplus capital. They might
have put more money into their reg
ular business or Invested I'm stocks,
mines or what not, but looking over
the business field in New York they
decided that they could not do better
than 90 into barbering
The brothers now own nearly q
dozen shops and employ about sixty
BARRIERS. Their business at first lay
in the downtown business district
only, but not long ago they bought
the good will of a shop pretty well
uptown. one of the BARRIERS en-
ployed In the shop would have been
glad to buy 1t. but the brothers out
bid him.
Each shop owned by these non
professional, BARRIERS has a manager,
himself a practical barber, who keeps
an eye on the businn"s, ana wien the
place is crowGsd Yields razor or
scissors hlIself. There is a general
manager who visits all the shops
from time to time and keeps an eye
upon accounts and receipts.
Once a week the receipts and
checks from all the shops are taken
to the head shop downtown. and
| there the whole weeks business is
put through a clearing house pro
cess. On Saturday everybody is paid
| off In each shop, and II the receipts
In hand at any shop are not enough
| for the purpose the deficit Is made up
from the head shop. Two days re-
ceipts are left In each shop for the
payment of weekly wages, and this
Is usually enough for the purpose.
Wholesale barbering pays pretty
well because the owner of dozen
shops can buy supplies at the lowest
prices, and having plenty of capital
Is able to get favorable rates In build
ings where the shops are situated.
The dozen shop concern has also
another advantage over the self-em.
! ploying barber with a single shop.
The success of the business as a
whole is not dependent upon local
conditions in any one part of the
city
All sorts of things happen to boost
or depress trade in an Individual
shop but the whole dozen do not
suffer at once. 1t is easy also when
business slackens In one shop to
transfer at least one barber from II
to another, where the men are rather
too busy.
If shops are near together II Is
possible at a specially busy hour tc
call a barber from neighborinl
shop. Profits are not great in an,
one shop, for rents are high ant
the BARRIERS are well paid. The shoI
manager gets better wages than tn,
BARRIERS. The business grows in
natural and healthy fashion. Whel
an opportunity occurs to buy out

have none of their own they cai

ACCOMPLISHED POLLY.
Soon Became an Important Factor in
The Household.

Some years ago we were presented
with young green parrot The bird
can only have been few months
old, as she gave no sign OF her red
tail. This, however, quickly appear
ed, and Polly soon gave evidences
that she was listening to sounds and
learning to reproduce them We
now began to give her talking less
ons by continually repeating over
and over again set words or phrases,
and were soon repaid for our pains
Polly began to talk and quickly mas
tered good many of her lessons
She added a good many self-acquired
accomplishments. such as cab calls,
milkmen's and paper boys cries and
and cawing of rocks. Her piercing
whistle would often cause the milk
man to stop and look around, think
ing the call" was for him.
Polly also learned to initiate the
song of the canary, She would look
up at her little yellow mate i'm her
cage above and call her Sweet.
sweet, pretty little Dick, pretty little
Dick" On one occasion the dress
maker was ushered into the dining
room and was startled by the bird
eXclaiming "Hullo! What's your
your name? What do you want?"
She surprised a lady visitor on one
occasion with the rather unusual in
quiry: Are you nice?" About this
time | was suffering from a very
painful complaint, and II would seem
almost as If my suffering drew out
the birds sympathy, for on one oc-
casion she said to me: "Hullo,
what's the matter with you? Are
you quite well?" | replied; mo.
not quite well, Polly" whereupon
she replied, Not quite well?" She
was once in the room where a mem
Der of the family was practising
singing, and presently made the re-
mark, emphasizing the last word;
What's the matter with you?"
When signs of going out for a walk
are apparent we are invariably and
repeatedly bade "Good-by, good-by,"
with the accompaniment of showers
or kisses. Upon our return Polly
inquiries Where have you been?"
and upon being informed usually re.
plies Glad to see you back"
During last winter my wife was
one morning putting up an oil stove
for Polly's benefit near her cage
On the half landing the bird watched
her with great interest and presently
said: Do you feel cold?" Count
your blessings" was a phrase Polly
found great difficulty in mastering,
Count your bless being all she
succeeded in uttering, and soon drop
ped this as too troublesome. How
ever, after a time we tried her again.
Now she drops out the bless" and
solemnly eXhorts us to Count your
count your-sins." A few weeks ago
a servant was engaged polishing
brasswork near Polly's cage, and the
bird Immediately started talking to
her. "Hullo Polly What do you
want? What's the matter with you ?
Are you quite well2 Do you feel
cold? Where have you been?" and
much more. Elicitins no reply shs
shouted out: why don't you tall? ?"
