GAIN LIVELIHOOD FROM SEA
French Fishermen al Home in All Wa ters-Have a Brotherhood That
 Is Worth EmuIating.

Besides sailing to the uttermost parts of the earth in pursuit of cod, herring and mackerel, the French do large trade with the fish in their own waters.
 Of these there is great number, including two sorts of skate, mackerel, soies, turbot, brill, plaice, founders, bream and oysters.
 There are three classes of fisherfolk in northern France. Some of the men have their own boats, and they hire what assistance they require, buy their own nets, find their own bait, etc.; others hire a boat between them and each man gets so much, while the rest goes to the owner; the third class are too poor to do anything but sell their services.
 The boats vary in size from five to fifty tons and generally nine men form a crew.
 The brotherhood existing among them extends beyond death. The widow of one of their number has a right to send out her nets with the boat to which her husband belonged, and her share of what is caught is scrupulously lnded over to her.

NO DEMAND FOR SUFFRAGE
Peasant Women on the Northern Coast of France Are Acknowledged
 Rulers ot Community.

On the northern coast of France the peasant women are more remarkable than the men, and they are far better educated.
 1t is they who drag the boats in and out of the little harbors, and who sell the fish in the markets. They are thus brought into contact with the peo- pies and civilizations of all countries, and no class of women in Europe is so emancipated
 They are strong and robust, and their outdoor life and masculine hab- its-for they belong to the sea as much as do their menfolk-harden thier bodies, at the same time giving them taste for all masculine pursuits and pleasures.
 They rarely quarrel with their hus- bands; indeed, the latter would fare badly did they attempt coercion or ill- treatment in any shape or form, for the women are taller than they are and quite as strong; so the mere men" of the French coast prefer to keep their skins whole, and treat their wives as jolly good fellows" which is exactly what they are.
 They sing their songs and enjoy their glass of cider with the best of their menfolk

Aid to SIeep.

There are two very simple but ef- fective remedies for that kind of sleep lessness that comes from overwork or nervous exhaustion, says Nurse. One is to have the feet very warm Put them against a rubber bag filled with hot water. A rubber bag is better than an earthen bottle as it will re- tain the heat for hours. The second method is much more simple. Discard the pillow, turn over and lie on the stomach with hands clasped under the forehead to lift the head trifie. This will often send one to sleep.
 When you are tired and nervous, a good rubbing all over the body with the lotion here given will be very rest full. Lie quietly in bed after the rub ping for half an hour and you will then feel quite equal to taking up the daily tasks again; here is the lotion: Diluted alcohol, six ounces; cologne water, six ounces; tannin, ten grains.

FRUGALITY HAS ITS ROMANCE
Saving Some Part of cne's Earnings.

There is an injurious idea prevalent among young Americans that pru- dence, economy, caution and frugality are among the mean qualities, and this accounts largely for the meretricious pride of spending time and money, just as it partly explains the popular ity of so many amiable wastrels. A good fellow" may be not self con demned fool. but he cannot discredit the truism that fool and his money are soon parted, says the Minneapolis Journal.
 Many of what we have come to call wants" are desires of the imagina- tion, or of vanity or of self indulgence. We have drifted into confusion of the meaning and value of happiness as contrasted with pleasure, and are prone to accept ostentation in lieu of the fact and substance of thrift. The ways of thrift are different from the ways of parsimony.
 There is an admirable quality of dig nifty and simplicity about the frugal but adequate way of living, that en- phasizes the vulgarity of extravagance and the childish folly of pretended opulence. There is a savor of gentility about the practice of saving part of ones earnings that leads to it's own quiet romance, and life itself takes on calmer, cleaner, sweeter value if we conserve and cherish at least a DOT .tion of it's daily offerings.
 Sensibly regarded, there is nothing sordid about the habit of frugality; but there is squalor and a slovenli- ness about the wastage of time and the squandering of money that is as unromantic as any phase of the thoughtlessly selfish living. And there is, too, gently humanizing influence about the habit of saving that makes for modesty, industry and sympathy those quiet, homely agencies that go furthest to stabilize and sweeten life.

CANAklES LIKE PLAIN CAor
Lover of Birds Has Found Out That They Prefer Their Abode to
 Be Simple.

Living near St. Nicholas avenue and One Hundred and Eleventh street there is lady who during a period of six months purchased no less thar three canary birds with the hope that they would solace her with their sing ing, only to find that after she had in- stalled them one by one in the hand some cage she had prepared for them not only would they not sing but that they moped and pined and finally died. The canary bird lover did ev- erything she knew to keep her pets and teach them to trill the melodies that such birds can utter, but it was of no use.
 Finally neighbor advised her to discard the handsome and expensive cage and buy new one, plainer in make
 What in the world difference will that maker" the canary bird lover asked. "A cage is cage-what's the difference to the birds?'
 "All the difference in the world" answered her adviser land for two good reasons. One is that a bird has died in it. The other is that a bird of modest disposition does not like an overhandsome cage.
 .The best singing results have come from the inmates of palmer cages. I don't know whether or not canary birds are natural democrats, but experience has been such as tell you. Buy plainer cage that has no canary bird ghost stalking through it to frighten the living bird.'
 So the canary bird lover discarded the big cage and bought palmer one. She transferred the last bird she had bought, and which had already begun to nope, to it's new quarters. Then she waited day and still another day, but not a sound came forth, al- though the bird began to look pert and chipper. She called in her ad- vising friend and complained there was no result after the cage change.
 Wait" said her friend, blowing upon bird whistle.
 The canary heard the notes. cooked his head and began to sing. Was it the new cage e?-New York Press.

Poisoned Seeds Make Odd Plants.

Observations on plant variation from poisoning of seeds have been reported in France by Prof A. Jungel, son. After being placed for one to twenty-four hours in a dilute solution of sulphate of copper seeds of maize were planted, and considerable pro- portion yielded abnormal spikes, the percentage of the abnormal plants be- ing greatest among those from seeds that had been deprived of their seed coat or otherwise mutilated before ex- posture to the copper solution.
 The mutilation alone produced no change in the character of the plants. The more intimate the contact of the poison the greater was the tendency of the plant to take on new forms.

You're a swindler,' exclaimed Mrs Gabb as she entered the bird store You're worse than a highway robber You ought to be ashamed of yourself to cheat poor innocent woman the way you did. That parrot bought of you last week is fraud You said it was fluent talker and you charged me big price for him, too, and that bird hasn't said single word since got him. Not one word.

tor of Vermont newspapers. favor
ably known to every newspaper in
the state and to all sorts and con-
ditions of Vermonters, has been ap-
pointed by the trustees of the State
University to the newly created posi-
ton of Editor of University Publi-
cations. In his new capacity he
will edit and publish the catalog and
the bulletins of the several colleges
of the university, as well as the bull
letins, circulars, briefets, etc, of the

cultural Extension Service, and will
endeavor to a greater extent than
has hitherto been possible to relate
the university activities to the peo-
pie of the state through the agency
Of the press.
1t would be an act of supereroga-
ton to introduce Mr.. Crockett or to
tell what he has done, but it may be
remarked that the class of work he
has done in the past is an earnest of
