THE HOME IN FRANCE. It Im Vlitiuly an Adjunct to Life oil the OutHtde. The father and mother in Paris eat at home when they do not eat out. but absolutely no informal social intercourse invades the apartment, which ;s more than anything else a sort of factory iu which is produced whatever the family needs for life outside. A vast amount of sewing is done here. French girls of even wealthy parents, after they finish school, attend courses of dressmaking and mlllineiy and to a great extent the industry which turns out the French woman as a model of good dressing, to be followed by the world, is carried on by the women of the family in what would be the home if the French knew the meaning of the word. A reception day is rigorously kept, and much entertaining at dinner and dejeuner may be done, but always of a formal character. A person having the penetrating qualities of a book agent might venture to try '“dropping in" on a French woman on a day when she Is not regularly receiving, but in the natural course of ordinary social experience in Paris this would never happen, says Flora McDonald Thompson in Harper’s Bazar. Such order of living readily permits groat economy. One has not to waste time, good clothes or house room in daily preparation for the unexpected guest. Six days of the week a French woman may run her sewing machine in the middle of her salon if she likes, secure from the interruption of chance callers. It is said that the chief function of the petit salon of a Paris apartment is to provide storage room for ball gowns which on reception days are taken down from the chandelier and locked up in a bedroom till the guests have departed. WEDDING PRESENTS. Some Hints About How and What and When to Send. It is a golden rule to send your wedding gift in good time, the first to ar rive being much more appreciated than that which is one of the many pouring in from all quarters during the last week. By adhering to this rule you are also saved the annoyance of bearing that the saltcellars are charming, the third set already received. A month before the wedding day is not too early to send the present, which should be accompanied by a visiting card, to be placed on the gift when displayed among the others. The package should be addressed to the bride if you are intimate with both the happy couple, and to the bride's house, addressed to the bridegroom, if it is he with whom you are best acquainted. Most people wish to give something novel, useful and pretty. The future circumstances of the happy couple should iulluence the choice. If they are going abroad, do not give anything unsuitable to the requirements of the climate or so cumbersome that packing and conveying it to its destination will amount to half the value of the present. If the recipients will not be particularly well off. it Is only kind to select some useful present. In these days, when artistic taste is shown in all the necessaries of life, this should not be difficult. If the happy couple are likely to receive many presents, it is safe to give something which will not be amiss if received In duplicate, such as silver sweetmeat baskets for the dinner table or a set of afternoon teaspoons or a bronze or china ornament. The Saliva. The [Hjisons of some of the common and also some of the most loathsome diseases are frequently contained In the mouth. In such case anything that is moistened by the saliva of the Infected person may. if it touches the lips of another, convey disease. The more direct the contact the greater tie danger. It is believed that much can be done to prevent contagion by teaching habits of cleanliness. But if such instruction is to be effectual it must be continuous. The teacher in the public school should notice and correct vio- I latior.s of these rules as habitually as ! violations of the more formal school I rules are corrected. Enough Said. Two Boston ladies strolling along a road just outride of the borough came upon the first milestone. On it was written, "1 in. from Boston." Having never ventured so far from their native place before, they mistook the stone for a aepulchral monument. "How touching!" they exclaimed. "How simple! How human! 'l’m from Boston.’ What more needed, to be said? So the dead speak!”—Rochester Post-Express. The Ambition* <ll nt her. The Guide—Well, here we are on the peak at last.

The Natives Hud Scruples. There is an amusing story told about an old time south sea trader. He had been in the habit of carrying all sorts of tinned meats, which the natives bought with avidity. Each tin was branded with a color d picture—a cow for beef, a sheep for mutton and a fish for sardines. It happened tii.it the firm who furnished file mutton thought it 11 good i plan to change their laliels. that their i goods might be more easily distinguish- I cd from others. The mark chosen was ! a red dragon. The natives came with their copra to trade as usual. The new tins were shown them, but they reeoiled witli hor- “ ror and gave the trader to understand that they had had some religious instruction and were not to be deluded into eating tinned devil. The trader was forced to eat his stock of mutton himself, for not a native could be persuaded to touch the ! accursed thing. Exchange of Compliments. A village sexton In a Pennsylvania town, in addition to being gravedigger, acted as a stonecutter, carpenter and furniture mover. The local doctor, having decided to locate in another county, employed the sexton to assist in removing ids household goods. All went well until it came to settlement, when the doctor deducted an old account due by the sexton. He wrote at the same time objecting to the charge made for removing his furniture, using these words: "If this was steady it would pay much better than gravedigging.’’ In a few days hack came this reply: "Indeed, 1 would be glad of a steady job. Gravedigging is very slack since you left the county.”—Philadelphia Ledger. The Bent of Three! After a criminal case in which Sir Frank Lockwood had secured an ac quittai for the prisoners. Lord Br.imn ton. then Sir Henry Hawkins, privately congratulated him on the excellent way in which be bad conducted the case and remarked especially on the alibi that had been established. "Yes.” was the characteristic reply. "1 thought it was pretty good—anyhow, the best ot the three 1 had offered to me!”—Golden Penny. He Knew Riicht Off. “Ah." sighed the wretched Mr. New pop. “what can tie more wearing on the nerves than a baby that cries all night long?” ‘ Twins." answered the man who had been through it.—Chicago Record-Her aid. OppoNitlon. A certain amount of opposition Is a great help to a man. It is what he wants and must have to be good for anything. Hardships and opposition are the native soil of manhood and self reliance.—John Neal.

WHAT IS WEALTH? Health anil Ability to Work Hotter Than Honey anil Worry. Does wealth consist in money, bouses, lands, bank stocks, railroad bonds, etc., alone? We think not. The j u:ig man starting iu life with no money, but witli good digestion, good sleep, good health and ability to work iu some ' profitable employment, has what the ; aged capitalist would be glad to exi change all bis millions for. What compensation is money for 1 sleepless nights ami painful days or the misconduct of dissipated children? Which brings the greater happiness, I the glitter, show, jealousies and falsity of fashionable life or the heartfelt friendships which prevail so largely , in the homes of the industrious poor? ! In how many of the palaces of our millionaires will you find greater happiness in the parlor than in the kitchen? How many millionaires will tell you that they are happier now than when starting in life without a dollar? On the top of mountains we find rocks and ice and snow. It is down iu the valleys that we find the vineyards. Let no man envy those richer than himself until taking all tilings into account—age. health, wife, children, friends—he is sure he would be willing , to exchange.—George J. Angell iu Out Dumb Animals. The Erudite Prisoner. “The charge ag’in ye,” the police justice said, "is burglary. What have ye got to say?" "As to that.” replied the prisoner, a seedy looking man who appeared to 1 have seen better days, "if by the term of ‘burglary’ you mean the offense ‘ which, according to English law and I practice for centuries, has been clearly : defined as 'house breaking by night.' the charge is palpably ridiculous. The ' policeman alleges that be detected me ■ in the act of breaking into a bouse yes I terday afternoon in broad daylight. If, on the oilier band, the term is made to cover tlie same offense when committed I by day, which. 1 believe, is your absurd American understanding of the word, iu a legal sense. I shall have to concede the correctness of the charge, your bon [ or, reserving, however, the right to re I gard with a species of contempt the crude jurisprudence of this country.’’ "Take ’ini back to 'is cell,” gasped the police justice, "an’ let ’ini sober up.’’—Chicago Tribune. Fuddy—There would be fewer tin- . happy marriages in Hie world if men and women would try to find out each other's disposition during courtship in stead of doing their best to deceive one another. Duddy—Yes. 1 guess there would be. as you say. fewer unhappy marriages. In fact, there would be fewer mar riages of any kind. I guess.—Boston Transcript.
