Clumsy Breton Women.

To the casual observer the Bretonne
is not attractive or ven supremely in
teresting. AS a femme de chambre she
is clumsy, slovenly and rough OF
speech, lacking the graces and neat
hess of her Partisan sister. She shut
fes about in felt slippers, her volum1-
nous black skirts catch in everything,
and if she waits at the table d'hote her
method Of handling cutlery Is strongly
calculated to sever ones jugular vein
She has no regularity in her work. and
at the hour that she ought to be max
ing beds she is probably sitting on the
public staircase nursing her baby. She
Is generally married and, conversely
often ten years younger than you take
her to be. To English eyes she is rare
" beautiful. Her hair Is trained tight
~ under her cap. her cheeks have sci
dom any delicacy Of tint, and her fig
ure and motions are ungainly and
awkward.-Wide World Magazine.

The honor of knighthood is not one
which appeals to everybody. Coke Of
Norfolk, who considered that he had 8
far better claim than the speaker tc
the designation of first commoner OF

a handle to his name. This fact was
we'll known to George ". When Coke
was chosen to head a d%eputation pray

son and council those advisers who by
their conduct had proved themselves

Peters eyes narrowed. "Then Ar

LOOKING THEM OVER.
Engineers Examining Sites for New
Insane Hospital.

The members of the state board of
control and the state architect and a
university engineer are spending this
week in final examination of sites Of
fered for the new state hospital. While
15 applications have been received the
board will look at only a few of the
places as the choice has narrowed
down to a small per cent of the ap-
plications. The questions of drainage,
water supply, elevation, etc, will be
passed upon by the experts with the
board.
Railroad facilities and location will
play the most important part in the
location of the new institution. The
board may be forced by these advan-
tages to locate the new hospital
against their personal preference in
the matter of towns. 1t looks as
though the Seventh district had the
advantage in this regard. There are
fifteen applicants with good offers for
the hospital as follows:
