W0MAN'S SPHERE IN FRANCE
Her Influence Is Probably Created
Than in Any Other Country
of the World.

The greatness of France lies in her
sense Of the beauty and Importance
Of living. AS life is an art in France,
so woman is an artist. She does not
teach man, but she inspires him. And
as the French woman of the bread-win.
ming class influences her husband, and
he regards her judgment and her
wishes, the same is similarly true Of
the French woman Of the rich and ed
ucated class, the French woman Of
leisure. But in this world her influ-
ence naturally tends much farther.
The more civilized a society is the
wider is the range of each woman's
influence over men, and Of each mans
influence over women. Intelligent and
cultivated people of either sex will not
limit themselves to communipg with
their own households. Men and wom-
en- equally, when they have the range
Of interests that real cultivation gives,
need the stimulus of different points
of view, the refreshment Of new ideas
as we'll as of new faces.
No one who has seen French wom-
en- can doubt that their great influence
on French life, French thought, French
imagination and French sensibility is
one of the strongest elements in the
attitude France holds before the
world today.-Ladies' Home Journal

TO FILL HOLES IN PLASTER
the Best Backing That Can
Be Employed.

The electrician is frequently re-
Quired, in the installation Of wires in
finished buildings, to cut holes here
and there through the plastered walls
or ceilings. Before these holes can be
replastered some sort Of backing must
be put in which will take the place of
the lath. The majority of men make
use of old rags or paper for this pur-
pose.
The writer, In replastering holes,
uses backing Of ordinary wire screen.
The wire should be cut about one-quar-
ter inch larger than the hole to be
filled, and when pressed into it will be
found to make a good, stiff backing, as
the edges hold it firmly in place. Far
less plaster will be necessary with this
backing than with the others, which
will cover the cost Of the wire screen,
and a more workmanlike and durable
job is Obtained.-W. r. Perry, in Elec-
trio World.

Noah's Ark in China,

A curious Chinese picture is of great
antiquity, and is supposed to repre-
sent Nooh's ark on the top Of Mount
Ararat. AS is we'll known, the re-
Hgious literature Of almost every ma
ton and race contains an account of a
deluge, but Chinese manuscript re-
Gently unearthed follows very closely
the story as recorded in the Bible.
1t is particularly interesting in that
the roof Of the Chinese ark is Of the
gable variety associated with the
Noah's arks which prove such enter
tanning toys for our youngsters. The
Chinese picture, however, shows dou-
ble-storied vessel, and, so far from
there being only one window in the
roof, there are windows in every pos
sible space. 1t would be interesting
If some Chinese scholar or antiquarian
could discover the exact date of the
drawing.

There's nothing like k,so.r;nq yaot vos

It's just as foolish to attempt Jobs
too big for you as it is to be afraid
of what you can do easily. There are
some organizations that put on cam
paigns these days to help people find
themselves. If you want the same
results without the publicity go after
your own case and don't be too easy
with the subject. The coming year
will be full Of great opportunities and
you won't know what to do when they
come unless you take stock in advance,

tunes wheel may put you in a high
place, but you are far more likely to
stay at the top if you rise by merit.
You oye yourself and your friend,

1t should be matter Of satisfaction
to know that you have the ability to
do big things. It's equally important
to know your weakness if you should
be confronted with big things. In any
case failure does not add to your
credit. Many Of .life's failures could
be avoided if men would only take
stock. This is business, and you
should not shirk 1T if you want to sue
