Attest: By I. F. Bradley. Atty Wm. Needles. Clerk. Des. 7 Size of Ancient Babylon. Ancient Babylon was not suck a great city as some have supposed, according to H. Valentine Geere, the archaeologist. He says: "The idea of Babylon's vastness and magnificence, to which we have become accustomed, has been practically exploded. Dr. Kodewey told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but ever so, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, is entirely erroneous. In point of fact, it appears that its walls were not more SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WAR. Their Use Urged by a German Military Writer. A writer in the Militar-Wochenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Bread Arrow. He writes approvingly of the Japanese spade work in the offensive, the more so because he mentions incidentally, as a matter regarding which there can be no dispute, that the German authorities have long since advocated the use of artificial cover in the attack, and points out that when the ground was frozen or rocky, and the spade could make no impression upon it, the attacking Japanese infantry not infrequently went forward, carrying with them filled sandbags weighing as much as forty pounds. He remarks that if the undoubtedly brave Japanese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and burdensome a protection when advancing in the open against an intrenched enemy it would seem far better to equip the infantry with a light, handy shield. Furnished with a handle by which to carry it, a loophole to fire through and some arrangement to prevent its falling down, the infantryman would then find himself, like his gunner comrade, protected by a bullet-proof shield. The writer in the Wochenblatt suggests that on the march the shield should be carried on the back, when going into action on the chest, and when advancing to the attack in the left hand, so as to be at once available for use when lying down to fire, both as head cover and riff rest. YOUR HAIR SHOULD BE DRAG8. That is the Fashionable Color, So an Authority Says. "Deep auburn and the drab shades are the fashionable colors in hair this season," said the woman who makes hair coloring a speciality, as placidly as though she were commenting on the state of the weather or the advance style in dress goods. "One of my customers has to my knowledge worn five different colors or shades on her wavy tresses. Having been blessed with medium brown hair by nature she became a ravishing blonde when the fashion for bleaching first came in. "Next she took to titanian red after a trip to the art galleries of Europe. Then she thought she would be more attractive as a brunette, and now her hair is drab. "The list is by far the most popular of all for the reason that is most difficult to obtain, and then it is pretty generally becoming, and it happens that women who are born with this particular color of hair are almost always clever. "How is it done? Well, in case of a woman whose hair is dark a bleach must first be used before the dye is applied. With women whose hair has turned gray it is a still simpler problem.

A Welsh judge had before him a case in which a printer sued a pork butcher for the value of a large parcel of paper bags with the butcher's advertisement printed thereon. The printer, having no suitable illustration to embellish the work, thought he improved the occasion by putting an elaborate royal arms above the man's name and address, but ultimately the latter refused to pay. The judge, looking over a specimen, observed that for his part he thought the lion and the unicorn were much nicer than an old fat pig. "O well," answered the butcher, "perhaps your honor likes to eat animal like that, but my customer's don't. I don't kill lions and unicorns — I only kill fat pigs!" Verdict for defendant—New York World. Building Up to Requirements Barking Up to Requirements. A Kansas City man purchased a city lot with the restriction that he should not build a house on it to cost less than $2,500. After having paid for the lot he decided to build a $1,500 cottage. Before he had completed it the real estate man from whom he had bought the lot threatened to sue him for breach of contract.

Reasons for lateness were not much varied. At the top of the page one would write "Train delayed," or "Omnibus horse died," as the case might be, and the rest fell into the habit of making ditto marks and letting it go at that. But not long ago one man had a new excuse. He wrote with pride: "Wife had twins." The second slow person that morning was in a great hurry, and did not notice the innovation, but made his customary ditto marks, and the rest of the men on that page followed suit. The excuse book was abolished. Example of the Postage Stamp The late Judge Andrew Wylie, of Virginia, had a happy gift of illustration. The judge cast in 1860 the only vote for Lincoln that was given in Alexandria, Va. In an address on Lincoln he once illustrated in an odd way the power of perseverance. "Lincoln persevered," he said, "and it is only those who persevere, they who concentrate their energies, who succeed. Don't give three years to journalism and then, discouraged, try the law awhile. Don't learn the grocery business and in a little while take up placer mining or plumbing.

The Salvation Army's New York Bureau for Curbing Despond- ency. Busy? There isn't a busier place in all the city. Messengers hurry in and out with sheaves of telegrams; postmen bring special delivery letters; officers in uniform escort grave looking persons hither and thither. There are conferences in small offices and then talks with a man with epaulets who sits at a large rolltop desk. There is so much life that it seems hard to realize that the business carried on concerns self destruction, for this is the anti suicide bureau of the Salvation army. This institution carries on its work by letter and by telegraph. It is a correspondence school of adversity, a repository of all trouble. Its patrons who call in person are treated with as much deference as though they had opened an account in a broker's office and the connection was likely to be enduring and profitable. Colonel Thomas Holland and thirteen assistants have charge of the bureau. The men and women who silently give way to despair are those who are prone to take their own lives without ever saying a word about it in advance. The anti-suicide bureau gives them a chance to tell their troubles in strictest confidence and to receive help and encouragement at a time when they would not bare their secrets either to acquaintances or friends on account of pride. First of all to present himself to the consideration of the bureau was a young man, who said that at times he was so overcome with the inclination to be: "the open door" that he could securely rafrain from jumping from a ferry boat and on another occasion from a bridge. Whenever things were going against him the impulse beset him. The bureau found employment for him and he is now cheerful and happy. "His case," said Colonel Holland, "was evidently the result of some morbid hereditary influence. It was a matter of temperament. We reasoned with him and pointed out to him the foolishness of such an inclination, for twice he had attempted suicide and had been saved by the desire to live. If he "had it again it might happen that he would not be so fortunate as to rescue himself or be saved by others. Colonel Holland, however, by the way of illustrating the manner in which the bureau was conducted, gave a synopsis of one day's work. No. 1 on that day was a baker out of employment. He was brooding over his situation. The bureau induced him to surrender his revolver. Temporary employment as an elevator man was provided for him, and he is interested in his occupation. The bureau means, is trying to get him work more suited to his training. For No. 2 there seemed to be little which could be done in New York. He was an elevator pilot, who was threatened with consumption. The burrow is arranging to have him sent West. Prescribing for case No. 3 was rather expensive, as it was that of a business man 65 years old who was troubled for fear that his capital would not be sufficient to tide him over a dull season. He was also suffering from the stress and worry incident to a business venture so that he was on the point of suicide. The clandestine was not prepared to assist him with the somewhat large sum required, but disbanded him from doing any more resh and counselled moderation with self control. ```markdown ``` Representative Campbell, of Kauai, has a scheme to earh the Wall street gamblers. "There should be a federal law for the prevention of bank gambling" said he. "It is an which has ruined many a man which has ruined its baneful influence would have been a useful citizen. It is a story which is often told in industrial life which found its counterpart in the case of No. 4, a white haired carpenter of 60. He had been forced out of employment in several places by younger men who could work more rapidly, and he had lost jobs until he saw nothing for him except the almshouse or the river. He was told of an opportunity where he could make fair wages and work more slowly, although he could not expect to keep pace with younger men. He was comforted and reassured and has abandoned his idea of self destruction. No. 5 had committed a breach of trust, but although he had been disowned by a relative who was affected financially, he was overcome with remorse and was about to take his own life when his notice was attracted to the anti-suicide bureau. His money was all gone and he was out of a job, but as he is young and a skilled workman no trouble was found in getting a good position for him. No. 6 was a paper hanger, whose trouble was due to lack of employment. Although he was past middle life he was found to be active and proficient. The officers found that he was so overwhelmed with despair that it took an hour and a half's talk to bring him around to face life again. Robbers had deprived No. 7, a man of 53, of all he had, and he was about to take his own life when the thought occurred to him that perhaps he might gain strength and resolution if he talked the matter over with the anti-suicide bureau. Within an hour or so after he had told of his predicament he found employment as an elevator pilot in a loft building through the efforts of the army. There were five other cases that day. Practically the same tactics are pursued in the women's department of the bureau, which is under the supervision of Brigadier Bovill. Women of all ages who are tired and despondent have been received and persuaded not to surrender in life's battle Lewis Darton Probably Younger than He Looked. Oldbach—How old is Mr. Bingham?

Comparing the "United States" of the Old World with the United States of the New, an astonishing revelation is presented of prosperity abroad. Here is the latest estimate of the latest estimate of the wealth of the leading nations, as Harold Bolee, gives it in Appleton's Magainze: Great Britain and Ireland. $58,200,000,000 France ..... 50,800,000,000 Germany ..... 45,000,000,000 Russia ..... 35,000,000,000 Austria-Hungary ..... 20,000,000,000 Italy ..... 13,000,000,000 Belgium ..... 6,000,000,000 Spain ..... 5,400,000,000 Netherlands ..... 4,500,000,000 Portugal ..... 2,500,000,000 Switzerland ..... 2,400,000,000 Total ..... $246,000,000,000 The wealth of the United States is $110,000,000,000. It will be seen that the wealth of the Old World is more than twice that of the New. When statesmanship shuts out trade from the markets of Europe, it is closing against us the most alluring field of progress has unrolled. Reciprocity with Europe along the paths of peace would vastly multiply the numerous fortunes of both hemispheres. The latest compilation of the wealth of European countries in detail shows that combined they have more than twice as much money as the United States invested in transportation; nearly half a billion more than we have invested in mining; almost one hundred per cent more in manufacturing than America, with its almost incredible industry, can boast, and two hundred per cent more agricultural wealth than the United States. Whoever believes that the inhabitants of the Old World have been reduced by kingcraft to beggary has not kept up with the international advance of the last ten years. I saw but one tramp in all my travels in Europe in 1906, and he was contentedly drunk on a bench in the suburbs of Vienna! Italy, which we formerly were wont to regard as a land of memories and beggary has become a great industrial nation. The water which for centuries has run to waste down the Alps and the Apennines, has been diverted to the uses of machinery. This power is supplying industrial colonies throughout all the states of Northern Italy. In the ports of Italy I was accosted by only one beggar, and he was a British sailor stranded in Genoa. Throughout Europe in 1906 crowded expositions of many kinds testified to the leisure and ready money which prosperity had yielded the inhabitants of the Old World. Strange, Isn't It. That a cavalryman unhorsed is most easily cowed? That one can show his temper only after he has lost it? That a contractor should be called upon to expand a house? That no young men ever rose rapidly till he had settled down. That the plow must be soiled before the soil can be plowed? That a susceptible fellow is hardest hit by the softest glances? That in everything (save baseball) you must strike out to make a hit? That so many students can not state bald facts without splitting hairs? That the straighter a man drinks his whisky the crookeder he walks home? That the papers so often refer to a man's double life as a singular career? That hard liquor should upset the fellow who has just been setting it up? That the clergy should constantly refer to even the sandiest mortals as men of clay? That being a big ass at night will often make you a little horse the next morning? That a chap who can't abide pets about the house will sit up half the night to fatten up a kitty?—The Reader. Mr. Canfield-Taylor, while engaged on his biography of Moliere, gathered together some five hundred volumes relating tothe Fresch dramatist. This collection, which the author has presented to Cornell University, is said to have only one superior in the United States—that of James H. Hyde. For the first time in its history exclusive old Bowdoin College is able to boast of a female student. The demure miss who has upset all tradition is Bertha F. Irish, 18 years old, of Bowdoinham. She is not allowed to take the regular college course, but is able, by an arrange- PE-RU-NA A MEDICAL GOMPOUND. In any medical compound as much depends upon the manner in which it is compounded as upon the ingredients used. First, there must be a due proportion of the ingredients. Each drug in the pharmacopoeia has its special action. To combine any drug with other drugs that have slightly different action, the combination must be made with strict reference to the use for which the compound is intended. The drugs may be well selected as to their efficacy, but the compound ENTIRELY SPOILED BY THE PROPORTION in which they are combined. It takes years and years of experience to discover this proportion. There is no law of chemistry, of pharmacy, by which the exact balance of proportion can be determined. EXPERIENCE IS THE ONLY GUIDE. In compounding a catarrh remedy Dr. Hartman has had many years' experience. In the use of the various ingredients which compose the catarrh remedy, Peruna, he has learned little by little, how to harmonize the action of each ingredient, how to combine them into a stable compound, how to arrange them into such nice proportions as to blend the taste, the operation and the chemical peculiarities of each several ingredient in order to produce a pharmaceutical product beyond the criticism of doctors, pharmacists or chemists. WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DEPENDS ON THE WAY IN WHICH THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS DEPENDS UPON THE DRUGS THEMSELVES. The compound must present a stability which is not affected by changes of temperature, not affected by exposure to the air, not affected by age. It must be so combined that it will remain just the same whether used in the logging or mining camps of the northwest or the coffee plantations of the tropics. A complete list of the ingredients of Peruna would not enable any druggist or physician to reproduce Peruna. It is the skill and sagacity by which these ingredients are brought together that give Peruna much of its peculiar claims as an efficacious catarrh remedy. However much virtue each ingredient of Peruna may possess, the value of the compound depends largely upon the manner and proportion in which they are combined. The right ingredients, put together rightly, is the only way a medical compound can be made of real value. PUTNAM FADELESS DYES Color more goods brighter and faster colors than any other dye.

Walter—What is the n after: is the The Evening Story FIGHT FOR THE FORESTS. Washington to Take no Backward Step in Policy. Gifford Pinchot is monarch of a domain larger than the German empire in Europe, larger than France exclusive of its colonies, five times as large as the Empire state of New York and six times as large as Ohio. When President Roosevelt, March 1, added 17 million acres to this government's forest reservations, he brought the total up to 142 million acres. He knew as everybody else knew who has kept in touch with Western sentiment that his action would be bitterly resented in certain states of the mountain group. There is an irreconcilable conflict between those who would save the nation's forests and those who would destroy them. The fight is now more acute than the contest between the cattle baron and the homesteader The forest reservations have come to stay despite unyielding opposition. The only problem remaining is one of administration. In the opinion of the forester the acreage is now larger than it will ever be again. The homesteader is free to enter the forest reserves at any time and under the law he is permitted to cut all the timber necessary for establishing his home. Gradually the acreage will be slightly reduced, but the total will not be materially decreased. Even the latest reservations by executive order the United States has set apart only one-fifth as much in forests as Russia whose government forests aggregate 643 million acres. But compared to other countries, the United States has a commanding lead. The expenditure per acre in the United States to care for its forests as compared with expenditures by other countries is ridiculously low. Alt told fewer than a thousand rangers guard, through patrol, this vast do "I am troubled about you, Joy Carter.

"Oh, if you please, miss, I never meant—" "I'm sure of that, Joy; but I don't like it. You are troubled." The clear eyes of Miss Esther Shaw looked through her glasses at the young girl, who was her servant, not unkindly. "What is wrong?" Joy Carter fidgeted from one foot to the other, and picked up a corner of her apron, as though the answer were written there and she needed to decipher it. Very slowly, while she looked at the corner of the apron, two large tears welled up into her eyes, overflowed and dropped down. Miss Esther Shaw watched the course of them, and looked more troubled than before. "Oh if you please. miss—it's Mr. Nudford." said Joy Carter softly. Miss Esther Shaw heaved a sigh and shook her head. This was the bogy that had been pursuing her all her life, and from which she had hitherto escaped, together with her maid. "Joy—Joy—haven't I warned you?" she asked plaintively. "Haven't I told you how much better off you were here with me, than risking your future happiness with a mere milkman or baker—" "If you please, miss, Nudford is a butcher" said Joy softly, as if that was any excuse. "All trades are alike; and a butcher is likely to be brutal by reason of his calling," said Miss Shaw severely. "However, you must have your own way, I suppose. When does this man Nudford propose—" "Never," broke in Joy excitedly. "That's the worst of him, miss; he don't know how to do it.

In France, Prussia and Switzerland is exceeds one dollar an acre. The area of forests in private lands is many times greater and more valuable than that owned by the government. The theory of the government, while preserving its own forests, is to assist in preserving the forests under private ownership. The government through the forestry bureau co-operates with private forest owners with the end in view of obtaining for all the people the highest value for the nation's timber supply. One would have been led to believe from some of the speeches made by Western senators when the agricultural appropriation bill was under discussion and especially when the section relating to expenditures for the forestry bureau was reached, that when the government sets aside a forest reserve its use for the public was at an end. On the contrary the public derives its greatest benefit from the reservations. Under the old policy the timber land was taken by individuals and passed into the control of companies and corporations. The most valuable portions were cut and marketed. That which remained was burned and the land became an unproductive waste. It should be thoroughly understood that the vast acreage which has been set apart for forest reserves does not include land desirable for agriculture. Throughout the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast regions there are vast areas of high and rocky land sometimes densely timbered, but unfit for agriculture. If unreserved these lands would never be taken by homesteaders. The most careful examination is made to determine whether the lands could be utilized for agriculture before they are set apart. But even if some homesteader should desire them past; the very way he wraps 'em up is enough to express his feelings; but as for proposin'—the man simply don't understand the meanin' of the word. Let his hand touch yours for a moment, he will, in handing you change or any little thing like that—but, bless you—no more than that. And believe me, miss, you can see his very heart as it were, in the scales w'en he weighin' up for you." "You have a poetic imagination, Joy," said Miss Esther Shaw sedately. "But I don't quite see how I am to help you in the matter. You see, Joy"—Miss Shaw had risen to her feet, and crossed over to the fireplace, and was looking gravely at her own reflection in the glass—"I am quite inexperienced." "I should have thought, miss, that anyone as pretty as you—" Esther Shaw turned quickly and looked at the girl out of her bright eyes through her bright glasses. "That will do, Joy," she said. "You have not told me in what way I can assist you." "I thought, miss, that if you would give Nudford what I might call a jog," suggested Joy bashfully, "it might be better for him, miss." "Weil, can't you do that?" asked Miss Shaw sharply. "If you please miss—I don't exactly like—" "Very well, Joy, since your affections are set on this man, I will help you. If you care to ask Mr. Nudford to see me, I will put before him, as delicately as possible, his duty. I trust it will be with the happiest results. That will do now, Joy." Left alone, Miss Esther Shaw turned again to her own reflection in the mirror. She had led so busy a life, and so strenuous a life in fact that she had forgotten that but a year or so ago she had been regarded as pretty; and here was Joy Carter reminding her of the fact. She shook her head at the vanity. "At all events. I must help poor tion, we walked the length of a broad corridor—about sixty feet I should imagine—walled with tapestry and inset with great mirrors. When the interview was concluded, and I again walked through the corridor, the mirrors had opened on springs, to disclose clothes press after clothes-press fitted with they can be taken even after reserved by the government for forestry purposes. Nor is the vast domain which has been taken by the government any the less available for grazing purposes because it is under government direction. Where good crops of grass or herbage are produced, the forestry bureau establishes grazing districts and permits cattle or sheep to graze the land for a small fee, which goes into the treasury. For the timber land, under the rule, the government received at most $2.50 per acre, while its actual market value was from $5 to $100 an acre and its economic value under forestry is many times the highest figure. When the unreserved public land is made into a forest reserve, the timber is still available. It is neither withdrawn from the market nor left to rot from age nor to be wiped out by fire. Anybody can buy it; a thousand feet at a time or a million feet. But the timber cannot be cut at the will of the man who buys it. The timber must be wisely cut under directions of a forester. The reserve must be so used that it will continue to produce timber for all time to come. The timber is harvested so that future crops are assured. The lands are kept productive and the county, state and nation get the benefit. It is estimated that in five years the forestry bureau will be self sustaining and a few years thereafter will turn into the United States treasury a handsome revenue. The new administration policy means that where private owners receive $50 or $100 an acre for their timber lands adjacent to the public domain, the government will get an equal sum for its timber and will continue to own it for the benefit of future generations. Yet another advantage from forest reservations is the method of utilizing the range. The controversies between sheep men and cattlemen and the constant bickering between big cattle Joy," she said, with a smile. "I wonder what her butcher is like." Now, although Miss Esther Shaw had led so busy a life that she had forgotten that she had ever been pretty, and had, moreover, thrust love utterly to one side, it must be seated here that love, quite unexpectedly, had pursued her; and that one man, at all events, had noted that she was pretty and had sighed about her in secret. He had never spoken to her; it had only been his good fortune to see her at a distance, but he loved her. He had read some of the things she had written; he had heard her make a pretty little halting speech on one occasion, in expounding views which never should have fallen from such young lips as hers; and he had almost desperately made up his mind to seek an introduction to her. His name was Richard Oakman, and he was also struggling in that great world that is ruled by the pen. Fate, for some mischievous reason, made him more desperate still; he determined to seek the lady for himself. It was scarcely necessary to say that he had long ago discovered where she lived, and, in fact, all about her. Thus it happened that on this particular afternoon he climbed the staircase which led to her modest flat, and after some hesitation knocked at the door. Joy Carter being absent, (probably in earnest search of her butcher) the door was opened by Miss Esther Shaw herself. She saw before her a man, hat in hand, smiling a little foolishly and stammering her name. Unused to visitors of the male persuasion at all, she jumped to one conclusion—this was Joy Carter's butcher! A very presentable butcher, if shy and awkward; evidently he had put on his Sunday suit for the occasion. "I've been expecting a visit from you" she said. "You needn't be afraid of me; come in." Mr. Richard Oakman started in some surprise, but accepted the invitation. He was so much astonished, in fact, that the eloquent speeches he had been framing in his mind as he came along were dissinated, in a moment; he could only stand and stare at this advantage of the fine day to air furs and other heavy raiment in which moths might take lodgment. One hundred and twenty feet of deep clothes press filled with exquisite raiment, and for one woman! Think of what that represented in expenditures, dear little homemaker, men and little ones are avoided. Cattlemen everywhere will tell you that the great ranges are being rapidly destroyed. There is no part of the great West where the grass compares with former years. On a forest reserve the range is still accessible, but under the terms and conditions imposed by the forester. The big cattlemen cannot run over the little fellow on the government reserve, nor is the little chap permitted to harass the baron. The range is regulated, too, and kept at its highest productive capacity. It is precisely the same with the range as with the timber. A forest reserve makes sure of a better and wiser use and a permanent prosperity. In view of the recent creation of an inland waterways commission and the marvelous promise of the reclamation service, the good which will be accomplished through a protection of the source of the water supply is of great consequence to the nation as the conservation of the timber supply itself. So long as the vast timber areas were still a part of the unreserved public domain they were left to the ravages of fire, to destructive lumbering and grazing. Gradually these vast areas were losing their spongelike properties by which they became great reservoirs for holding and regulating the waterflow. The rains rushed quickly down the slopes of the denuded mountains, causing floods at one season and assuring protracted droughts in others. In a statement made before the senate agricultural committee, it was asserted that the increase in the life of fence posts, telegraph and telephone poles and railroad tiss alone, due to the work of the forest service, was worth every year more than the total appropriation asked. The saving of forest destruction by fire is worth infinitely more than the total appropriation. When an application is made for a sale of timber on a forest reservation an investigation is made by the forest officers. First there is a careful study young woman who could take a matter of vital importance so casually. "I am very glad to see you,' said Miss Shaw, in her decisive way. "I have heard a great deal about you, and I have wanted for some time to talk to you. Won't you be frank with me? Remember the happiness of two lives may depend upon your frankness." "I'm sure I'm very grateful—obliged to you," said Richard Oakman nervously. "I never thought for a moment that you would receive me like this; I was afraid—" "That I should be bitterly opposed to anything you might have to suggest," she broke in. "Where it is a matter of happiness, I am, I fear, very easily moved. It is my habit to be frank, and I will be frank with you." She advanced toward him, and looked unflinchingly into his eyes. "You are in love!" "Yes—I am in love," he said hurriedly. "I have not dared to speak about it. I have watched her day by day—" ("Over the counter" she thought quickly; and decided that this butcher was much too good for Joy Carter.) "Worshiped her from afar," he went on passionately. "And yet have been afraid to speak to her of what your real feelings were," she reminded him. "Would you like me to suggest to you, what is the best thing for you to do?" "If you would be so good," he said humbly, but with bewilderment. "When next you see her, be frank and straightforward and manly with her," went on Miss Esther Shaw enthusiastically. "If Joy comes into your life—" "It would—it would!" he exclaimed quickly, seizing her hands and drawing her toward him. "From the very first moment that I saw you I knew that there was but one woman in all the world for me. If only you will let me work for you—if only you'll tell me that you love me—" "Yes—that will do very well for a rehearsal," said Miss Shaw, a little stiffly as she withdrew her hands. "I or my part, I think you make love very nicely," she added with a shy glance at him. "There is Joy's key in five a week!

A great change in Paris customs has been wrought by the new Sunday law which recently went into effect. No shops are open on Sunday along the principal streets, not even a barber's, which is astonishing, considering the inability of the average Frenchman to use the razor upon himself. The commercial classes, particularly the small shopkeepers, are naturally opposed to the law, but it has released a large body of humble workers who otherwise were deprived of a complete Sunday rest. the lock now; go and talk to her in the same strain." While the bewildered Mr. Oakman stared at her, the door opened, and quite another couple came in. Joy Carter had hold of the hand of a fresh-colored young man, with very smooth, sleek hair; and the fresh-colored young man was blushing much more eve nthan Joy. "Oh, if you please, miss, there ain't no need for you to say anything to him," said Joy softly. "Met him on the stairs, I did, miss; an' before no words was spoken we was in each other's arms all to once't, in a manner o'speakin', I beg your pardon, miss, for intrudin', but this"—Joy drew forward the blushing butcher—"this is Sam!" Nervously enough Miss Esther Shaw murmured a sort of blessing on the pair and hurried them out of the room. Then she faced her visitor but found it impossible to be quite so stern as she had meant to be. Half an hour later they were sitting in that room that had not known a man's presence hitherto, discussing affairs amicably enough. "And I took you for a butcher!" she said reproachfully. "If you'll take me in any case, I don't mind." he said with a twinkle in his eyes. "You said I made love nicely," he reminded her. "But that was for Joy," she said. "I couldn't think of it; it is all to hurried." "All to once't, in a manner of speaking.' as Joy would say," said Richard, laughing. "If you think I'm not perfect at the business, or if you think it is too hurried, I'll stay for some more lessons." "Very well," she said softly.—McCall's Magaizne. Consul General W. J.
