The trade is very extensive. the great

the export and import trade Is annually
about $100,00oO0O, large part going to
England. In 1872 the value of Bordeaux

such as corn. fruits. sugar, wood, gums
and native manufactures.
There are many reasons why Bordeaux
is a safe and convenient place for the
goat of government while the war is
raging. It Is an up-to-date city with
splendid water, railway and Geographic
facilities. The people are wide awake
and can appreciate the meaning of war,
which is saying a good deal for city
that dates back to the Roman empire.
Bordeaux still has a sound Of ancient
Rome and Greece. The French senate
will sit in the TempeI of Apollo, one of
the public buildings; the chamber will
convene in Alhambra Hall. while the war

The city of Bordeaux. or Burdigala. as
it was anciently called. was flourish
ing commercial town under the Roman
empire. and in the third, century was
made the capital of Acquitaine Secunda.
In the fourth century 1t was an educa-

being bone Of contention in the 800
years war. 1t was then that the COM
merce with England was begun. which
continues to the present time. If Louis
VII had not been SO obstinate about hav-
ing his hair and beard cut 1t might never
have belonged to England. When the
fair ones were accustomed to see their
lovers with boards and graceful flowing
locks, the sight Of shaved chin and a
cropped head excited feminine horror and
aversion.
Louis persisted in obeying the injunc-
tons Of his bishops and had his hair
cropped and his beard shaved. His con-
sort, Eleanor Of Acquitaine. found him
with his uncommon appearance SO very
ridiculous and to her SO very cohtem ot-
ible, that she avenged herself by begin
ming series of coquetries, which end
ed in her being divorced by the pious
Louis She then married the Count Of
Anjou. who shortly after assembled the
English throne as Henry II. giving him
for her marriage dover the rich prov
inces of Poitou and Guienne. which from
that time continued to follow the for
tunes Of the English territories in France.
This was the origin Of those wars
which for 300 years ravaged France and
cost the French nation 1900. 900 men. All
of which probably would not have hap
pened had Louis VII not been SO rash as
to change the style of his hair and beard
and make nimsef "disgustful in the eyes
of the fair Eleanor"
The population of Bordeaux has been
largely Increased within the last few
days, and recent dispatches state there
is an effervescent gayety about the place
which is in strong contrast to the sur
rounding country districts where only
wcmen and Chi dren are left and the
atmosphere is one of sadness and ex-
who can remember the fight from Tours
throu this same countryside in 1870
and the terrible ravages alterward.
But there Is a feeling of stubborn re-
sistance among these peasants, for they
are fighting their old foes, the Germans.
and during the years since AIsace-Lor-
raine went back into the German power
they have silently cherished the hope
that this day would come. when they
would have the opportunity to wrest tine
territory from them. So they do not muir

THE TREND OF THE TIMES. There was rec
ord attendance at the Woman's Club room
Tuesday evening when the members and lnvlt-
ed guests listened to an address by Rev. Har-
aden S. Pearl on The Trend of the Times. Mr..
Pearl remarked that he consented to give this
address last June, when we were living IN the
second epoch of time. at the close of the era
after Christ, and that the world his tory since
the declaration of war had made his subject
entirely different from what he then intended
He spoke first of the scientific intellectual re-
search of the great laboratories that tended to
produce agnostics. the all-absorbing economic
conditions the alarming social relations ETC.,
and dwelt at length upon the influence of NOV
ing pictures. To the direct question, "do you
approve of them," he answered Eyes" In
speaking of the trend of the times in regard to
the organized church Mr.. Pearl said that there
were more empty seats in the churches OF today
than at any time in its history; and it is also
fact that individually people are more religious
than ever before, and in view Of this condition
he asked: "How can you account for that?" His
references to the present war conditions were
interesting. He does not look for close OF
hostilities in the near future and thinks that
Germany will fail in her undertaking. Mr.
Pearl thinks that ths world is sleeping and
that its awakening will be wonderful. AT the
c,ose of his address there was an informal dis
cussion of moving pictures and of the war
spirit inherent in human nature. NOV. l4en

LEAPING FOR THE FIRE NET.
Safe Jumps of Eight or Nine Stories
 Have Been Made.

At recent Fifty-sixth street tene- ment fire in New York that resulted in more of a smoke alarm than blaze a man and his wife were seen to get out on the ledge of fifth story window. The firemen told them to wait 8 mo ment, that there might be no need to jump. The man cried that they were suffocating and must jump.
 The fremen stretched the net and shouted for them to boise themselves properly and jump one at time. But even while the firemen were shouting the instructions the couple kissed each other. locked arms and leaped. They came down straight and sure as a plummet right into the net. They re bounded about fifteen feet and fell in the net again in T sitting posture. still embraced
 The fireinen let them gently down to the sidewalk They still sat there look ing at each other incredulously. Then they were told there was not even a good fire to justify their jump. 1t had all been smoke from smeuldering lot of rags and other rubbish. The man and wife heard the news with expres- sions of wonder thankfuneSs and con demnation of their stiffness.
 Jumps of eight and nine stories with out injuries have been recorded The makeup of the jumper is what counts. The firemen have to he prepared for all kinds Sometimes they have to shift few inches quickly because of the bad judgment of distance shown by the jumper. But in most cases the lear to the net saves life-New York Sun.

A Little Paint Badly Applied.

Eugene Chevalier appear ing as the man of destiny. They bought box. but had hardly entered 1t when the emperor broke forth In violent generations against the fool managers. It seemed that the decora- tors had left in the box pots of oil and paint. and into these the emperor had stepped. Wild with rage. he rushed from the house and to make matters worse was recognized in the lobby. No paper mentioned the incident. but by order of the emperor the play was never produced again and Chevalier never appeared again as the man of destiny-and all on account of little paint badly applied.

MIX MAPS AND MEALS.
An Easy Way of Studying Geography
 While You Eat


 In the dining room Of one family there hang two large coIored maps. one of the world. the other of the state in which they live.
 The parents and children are form ing the habit of talking during meals about what they read CT hear. of places and events outside the visible horizon. And whenever any unfamiu- ar place is mentioned one of the chil- dren immediately leaves the table long enough to lo-ate it on the map. "lt is near such and such q town or river or mountain," That is where so and so lives.~ or "Such thing happened there." is the information usually add ed to the first statement
 They do not limit their conversation to bookish things. but speak naturally about whatever they are interested in. turning to the maps as one looks at a railroad guide when traveling. to place themselves. In this way bits of knowl- edge are linked together. and as sight knowledge requires so much less men tai effort than ear know ledge it is more fun.
 Besides. the maps. hanging low and in good light. make a splendid rainy day game for the two younger ehil- dren. aged eight and ten. The mother, sitting near with her sewing gives them hard ones to find thames of more or less obscurityl. and they keep score as to which gets the most 'sfrsts." calling twenty the game.
 No wonder the whole world seems like one big picture to this family. and geography but play.-Woman's Home Companion.

Gonzales later led his men to the heart of the city of Monterey, but the outcome was not known, nor has any estimate of the losses been given. The Cushtemo brewery, which had been strongly fortified by the Federals to command the main approach to the city. was said to have been taken by the Constitutionalists.
 Desperate fighting occurred at the penitentiary, where the Federals are strongly intrenched.
