tended the annual meeting OF group
one. consisting of bankers OF the north
western part of this state, at st. Paul

TWO most important things discussed

our senator's at Washington asking
congress to do away With all tax eN-

India's Cotton.
AS material development in tho

TNDIA'S material development in tho
last three-ouarters of a century
is illustrated in the growth OF the
cotton industry in the Bombay Presi-
dency, its chief center. The first mill
was built seventy-hve years ago.
There are now 1877 mills, according
to the latest statistics. and various
others are under construction. en-
ploying more than two hundred and
fifty thousand operatives and consum-
ing a couple Of million bales of cot
ton. They produce more than seven
hundred million pounds of yarn, most
Of which Is exported to China and
other foreign countries.
The dark side of the picture Is the
condition Of the millhands and their
wages. The working hours in most
of the mills are from sunrise to sun
set and there Is a growing tendency.
1t Is said. among some Of the mill
owners to prolong the hours of labor
by the installation of electric light.
In these mills the same set of hands
work from 8 in the morning until
8 at night. with only half an hour
for rest. The hands are paid by
the piece. and the average weaver,
so 1t IL reported. working thirteen
hours . day for twenty-six days in
the month. would earn less than eight
doilars and q half. q

Wonderful Mine.

cITUATED in the beautiful kaap
~ valley, in the jamestown district
of Barberton, Transvaal, there is
mine known by the name of Verdite.
The name was given to it on account
of the peculiar green stone found in
the mine, which is unknown in any
other part of the world.
Articles of jewelry and ornaments
are made of verdite, and it has been
called the lucky green stone Of South
Africa This green stone Is silicate
of magnesia OF tale. colored green by
nature in the course of its formation.
Other silicates of magnesia may be
neutrality-suspicious. serpentine, meer-
schaNm ard steatite.
The mine, or rather hill, consists Of
three varieties of tale, green, white
and black. But a peculiar fact is that
in the black tale there is present pur-
est gold. Some of the finest speci-
mems of gold-bearing rock have been
found at this mine.
Every one knows that gold is found
in quartz. pyrites or even in sea wa
ter, but scarcely ever has it been mem
toned in books that gold exists in
tale.
When the verdite rock has gone
through tho ordinary process OF
crushing and the gold has been ex-
tracted, the waste Cor what is called
the shines from a gold mine) is used
in the manufacture of soap. grease.
paint, paper, toilet powders, gas Jets,
electric insulators. crayons and many
other articles Of everyday use. In
fact, ono might say that everything
got from this mine can be used for
some commercial purpose.

Thrifty Housekeeping Required Meet French Living Co

we'll to do in 1913. She gave up the
place because she did not have enough
food to keep soul and body together.
The family had an elegant apartment
in one of the most exclusive sections
of Paris. The building was of white
stone and the nesghborhood contained
many Of the nobility. They had rented
the apartment before the war and the
furniture of their better days, en-
abling them to keep up appearances.
The trouble now is the lack of money
to spend upon food. Their meals are
almost Barmecidal, and the menu
never varies. For lunchean each per-
son has a slice of meat about two
inches wide and three inches long.
with some rice or potatoes. For sup
per. or dinner as it is called here,
they have a soup and a vegetable.
They have no dessert. They never
taste the bits of cheese of which ths
French are so fond. and rarely eat
any of the better green vegetables.
One daughter of the house who is
supposed to -be anenic is given a
slice of meat in the evening, but the
others have none. The girl said the
servants had even less to eat and
could not endure it. Nevertheless.
this family dwells in surroundings az
beautiful as those of people of ten
times it's income. {.
A MONG the surprising economies OF
l \ the French home is the elevator.
or the lack of it. The American en-
bassy is in a fashionable apartment

date more than two persons at one

My daughter rented last summer
the apartment of a Bombay princess
who lived in the suburbs of Paris. The
princess had gone to d watering place
for the health of her husband, and
the fiat was let furnished. 1t was on
the fourth fioof of magnificent
house. but the round elevator was
actually no bigger than a -four bar

seemed to be almost embracing. I

The French cook does the market

of the commission she gets from the
dealer Before the world war she re-

Of every 20 cents paid for the food
stuffs she bought. After the war the
dealers were rather tardy in giving
this rate, but it still exists more or
less.
Here are some notes / made last
Sunday morning while watching the
servants going to market:
The streets are full of women and
girls, most of them without hats and
all plainly dressed. Each has basket
and net bag in her hand. Wagons of
green stuff move through the streets.
The provision and grocery stores are
open and many of the streets are lined
with stands surrounded by customers.
The usual marketing time is from ?
to IL o'clock, and even before one
sees some of the servants returning.
The market is their chief meeting
place. They like to go at the same
time every day, for it is there they
chat with their friends. The amounts
bought at one time are small. A
bunch of red carrots. white cauli-
flower, a dozen potatoes. a little meat,
and the ever-present bottle Of ordi-
nary wine may be all that fills the net

have asked as to wages. They
are considered excessive just now, but
they are nothing compared with those
received in the United States. I re-
duce them to American money, esti-
mating 10 francs to the dollar. A
month. The latter wage is paid only
by the rich, and the male or female
who runs the kitchen is expected to
make fancy cakes, desserts and elab-
crate dishes. In a household of four
or five persons of moderate means
where there is some entertaining the
cooks wage is about s17 a month.

MANY of the housekeeping details
lNl are different from ours. An i'm
portant one is the lack of ice in sum-
mer. Only the very rich have ice
boxes, and there are but few ice
wagons making deliveries every day.
The ice for my baby granddaughter
is bought from the butcher, who
charges cents a pound. My daugh-
ter tells me that many French fami-
lies keep the baby's milk fresh by
leaving it in running water or in the
cellar. II they have one. All milk is
boiled the moment it is brought into
the house. and such a thing as giving
a baby fresh, uncooked milk is not
known.
1 am interested in the washing ar
rangements of Paris. Most of the
people living in these apartment
houses have such small quarters that
there is no room for a laundry. For
this reason the people are forced to
