A Paris correspondent of the New
York Tribune has made quaint col
lection of clippings from some OF the
leading French dailies, which are ed
ucating their readers in matters per-
tanning to the United States. To show
Just how thoroughly we are known
to the great republic across the seas,
we cite from Mr.. Colleton's collec-
ton the following, says the Memphis
News Scimeter:
"In America the houses are heated
by natural gas, which comes from
the Rocky mountains in tubes or
pipes and enters the houses all over
the country No other fuel is now in
use in America"
Another enllghtening article relates
that "All the country west of Chi
cago is a desert to the California, but
it has been marked off with multitu-
dinous bitches, which are kept filled
with water from the great Mississippi
river, and thus the land is made fer
tile and crops may be grown.
This about American Indians is
amusing: 1.-THE American Indians are
no longer a menace to Civilization.
They now live quietly on the out
skirts of all American cities in quar-
ters provided for them and called In
dian reservations They may be
seen at any time wandering the
| streets in their blankets and feath-
ers. but they are now quite subdued
the white people no longer fearing

CycIopaedia of Horticulture.

The first volume of L. II. Bailey's
Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture,
which was issued on March %, Is
meeting with very marked praise.
While this is in theory revision of
the old four volume Cyclopedia of
Horticulture, SO extensive have been
the alterations and the additions that
it is in effect a new work An indica-
ton of the extent of change is found
In the fact that the Cyclopedia will,
VIXEN complete, take six volumes,
whereas in the original 1t took only
four. Volume l contains letters A
and B, 6O2 pages, 700 text figures, four
full page color plates and sixteen
plates in half tone. The Macmilla ~

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
[Dhe. Englishman is now falling in
India, because of the sheer unadul-
terated stupidity that always distin-
guishes the white man in his dealings
with 0rientals. He simply cannot
conceive that the Oriental and
especially the Hindu, has other and
different ideals, that his whole
scheme of life stands upon different
basis. The white man always looks
upon the Oriental as largely identical
with himself, but with the accident

OF. original sin and wrong headedness.
In the generosity of his stupid heart
he effers to the Oriental all those
things that he himself believes to be
tho crown and the coping stone of
human life, and when the Oriental
shows his polite contempt he pro-
ueeds to force them upon him. He
shall be saved whether he wishes it
or not, even though it take all the
kings horses and all the kings men
TO. do it. That any human being
should despise material progress is
simply unthinkable to him. That the
Hindu should look with a profound
Indifference upon railroads and
bridges is incredible And that he
should object to hygiene and SANTA
ton and trousers and vaccination and
prayer-books is the mark of an idiocy
that must be cured by main strength.
Nov 1t may be that the white man
is right and that all these things are
GOOD things, but it is time for him
to face the fact that the Hindu does
not think so, and that his failure tc
appreciate is not due to idiocy but

to the rooted conservatism of pro

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours

Margaret Ossoli
Copyrighted 1914.


No account of the suffrage move
ment in this country would be COM
plete without goodly notice of Sarah
Margaret Fuller. Marchioness Ossoll.
For although she cannot be called
one of the "woman's rights" agita-
tors of the last century she furnished
the spark which later b.azed forth
into the suffrage movement in this
country This spark was the series
of classes which she conducted in
Boston and which gave to women or
that city the first incentive to the
later agitation.
Margaret Fuller as she is generally
called, was born in Cambridgeport,
Mass, one hundred and four years
ago today. Her childhood was not
a happy one, for she says herself she
was made a youthful prodigy by
day and by night the victim of spe-
cial illusions, nightmares and SOM
nambulsim." She was the eldest OF
eight children and after the death of
her father she went to work as a
school teacher to help support the
family.
In the meantime Margaret had
caught the trend of transcendental-
ism, which was just spreading
through New England. She had be-
come acquainted with Emerson and
Hawthorne and before long became
known as the "priestess of the tran

Styles in Mems Hats

They had been conversing earnest
ly for several minutes. The bare
headed man kept up his end of the
talk with difficulty, his gaze being
earnestly fixed on the straw hat worn
by his friend.
Finally the talk abruptly ceased as
the man with the hat removed it,
and after one look, gazed ruefully at
his friend. 1t had been so denied
that reblocking was imperative.
"Why in thunder did you let me
walk through Broad street with my
hat in that shape?' he asked.
But how did / know that it wasn't
one of the new three-cornered spring
