There is great need for provision by
law for the retirement of employees who,
after long service. have lost their ability

ability incident to their work" The
commissioner considers 1t not only a
matter of humanity, but business
proposition. and in the best interests OF
the service. In England the lighthouse
organization has retirement system in
the form of a life assurance policy.
After three years of service each en-

Compensation for Injuries.
Provision should be made. the COM
missioner adds, for compensation to
persons injured while engaged in
hazardous employment in the lighthouse
service, by extending to them THE
benefits of the act of May 80, 1908,
granting to certain employees Of the
United States the right to receive from
1t compensation for injuries sustained
in the course Of their employment.
The only persons in the service now

the work of the service is of hazardous
nature. such as the construction and

of government employment more justly

PARIS, December Gothic vogue of
slender skirts is producing disastrous eff
fects in the industrial territory of France.
It may not be believed by those women
who punctiliously follow Dame Fashions
DEGREES. but it is a fact that The hobole
skirt Is causing great distress In the
manufacturing districts in the north.
At the Roubaix the manufacturers and
work people earnestly hope that women
will return to more ample garments. One
manufacturer makes the alarming state
men- that the hobbe skirt has stopped
one-half Of the looms in that town, which
is passing through one of the most
serious crises it has ever known. The
trouble is that dresses can now be made
with one-half of the material that was
formerly needed AS a consequence the
output of dress stuff has been consider
ably reduced. There is not sufficient work
for the looms. and something like 2O.0OO
men and women are affected. Those
workers who come from BELGIUM have
been dismissed. while a large number of
French workers are on shor- time.
Combing and spinning mills and dyeing
and finishing factor. es have, it is COM
puted paid $4,0OO,0O0 less in wages this
year. The hobble skirt is not the only
tariffs have closed many foreign markets
to French goods
Customs Duties a Bar.
The president of the Roubaix Chamber
Of Commerce shows how the customs
duties. especially in North America and
Spain, have now become practically pro-
| hb.tive. Following the hobble skirt is
the suppression of the underskirt, which
has served to aggravate the crisis.
Manufacturers are also disposed to
blame the "kimono." Here is what NJ.
Paul 10th. president Of the Cloth Mer-
| chants Syndicate. says about this gar
| ment. "a piece of foulard is taken one
| meter square. A hole is made in the
| middle to pass the head through. Two
Sits serve for the sleeves, and with a
pleat at the waist q woman is content
with one. where she formerly used two
meters Of foulard''
The plant of the workers Is serious
one. They say that they are workin2
two days a week now. and that with
their reduced wares they are simply
| watching one another die Of hunger. They
| think that the time has come for women
to stop wearing narrow skirts. The
Rouhaix di trict is the richest manu-
featuring recion of France. 1T viii de
pend on fashions DEGREES whether 1t will
retain that distinction.

Langevin Divorce Verdict.

A paragraph in the recent Judgment
entered by the French courts in the
case Of the divorce proceedings between
Prof. and Nine. Langevin has caused
considerable controversy. especially In
feminine circles. The paragraph is as
follows:
THE husband enjoys a kind of I'm
nunity in consequence of his position or
authority in the domestic life, and may
obtain letters written by his wife, no
matter what means he may employ in
doing SO. provided that he does not thus
infringe the law; on the olher hand
Jurisprudence decides that IL woman
produces letters tending to prove the
adultery of her husband they are not
receivable as evidence if 1t be found that
she came by them by means Oh a fuse
or by any artihce of no matter what ma
ture.
The paragraph bears on the means en-
ployed by Nine. LanSevln to capture tne
letters of her husband. 1t is generally
considered as a deciued ads a-'ce-.-- N.-.,-1
MOI III the feminist direction-on the pre-
existing Frent h law as regards women.
Nine. Severine. the noted feminist. is
highly indignant, and. writing in the
lntransigeant, she protests against the
judgment, of which she says: Any
men, and they are absolved before
hand; woman alone is blameworthy:
guilty, objectionable. and unworthy OF
producing evidence for justice"
The other day the feminine jury OF
the Vie Heureuse" met to award the
annual prize of 81 900 for a new book.
which was awarded last year to Mile

presided over by Lime Dieulafoy, in a

Illicit Gambling in Paris.
Apart from the recognized clubs where
high play is allowed, Illicit gambling
clubs abound in Paris. There is Il special
commissary of police to swoop down
upon them from time to time, and ne
confscates everything he can lay hands
on, even to the furniture. The organizers
Of these clubs know what they are about:
An apartment or a house is taken ana
the furniture is limited to few tables
and chairs Of the least expensive kind.
The person who runs" the concern
keeps away and is a mystery even to the
personnel in his employment.
There is certain eX-croupler mere VINO
three years ago was without cents.
He started one of these halls at very
little outlay and is now the possessor of
two or three million francs, a chateau in
the country, a yacht. automobiles. and
what not. There is no cheatin at mis-
club. All is fair and aboveboard. The
servants have their pocke.s full OF money.
When the police come the first to pro-
test are the clients. The ladies are
every bit as indignant as the gentlemen
at what they cali an infringement on
their liberty. Surely they can do what
they like, they say, with their own
money. and they are not children. The
commissaire listens with gentle resisna-
ton and then orders his men to set to
work. The evil has so grown that tines

rigorous proceedings in police correc-
tionelle.

Lime Good For Wheat.

On Monday evening last, Messrs.-
NJ rohn a. Cleaver, w. X. Lockwood, J.
4 Deakyne and w. E. Wright were
nresent in the field Of George ". Pew
srley adjoining the railroad station
rounds and witnessed the measure
ment Of an acre Of ground on which
M lime had been used, one on which
bsd been placed half ton of lie Gore
brdrated flor which Mr.. Cleaver is
gent to compare the difference in
the wheat yield. Save in the matter
Of lime on the one and none on the
other, the tracts had been treated
alike
Isaac ]. Marker, an employee Of
Mr.. beverley, identified the tracts
where he applied the lime and where
be did not. Messrs. Lockwood and
Deakyne carefully measured with a
100 feet tape line square of 210 feet,
planting stakes at the four corners,
where no lime had been used, and
then counting the number of shocks
Of wheat, viz 80. They then meas
ured another acre on which the lime
had been used, and counted the
On the division line between the lin
ed and unlimed portions the differ
ence in the thickness Of the stubble
was apparent to the eye
The acre selected for the unlimed
test was the slightly low, rich tract
in the corner near Mr.. Peverley's of
fce-the richest part of the whole
field and being more moist had This
dry season some advantage over the
more rolling land, where the lined
acres were measured. Therefore the
test is altogether a fair one and this
difference of 6 and shocks to the
acre means a gain Of 5 to bushels
Of wheat to the acre. The lime costs
S.5S to the acre and Is Of permanent
value, while the or 6 bushels of
wheat at 80 cents amount to $3.50 or
S5.4O, net gain of from $3.50 to S5.40
per acre-which is certainly well
