FRANCE WAS CALM DURINGJVAR SCARE German "Bogey" This Year Did Not Cause the Usual French Hysteria. BY RACONTEUSE PARIS, Aug. 21. This Is not the first time by any means, since the war of 1870, that Frenchmen have seen before them the "bogey" of another war with Germany. Butthis in the first time that they have taken their precautions bo quetly, so philosophically and so systematically. On former occasions, as a matter of fact, they took no precautions at all. They were told In diplomatic language, "Germany does not like this, Insists on that and If she gets no satisfaction you had best take care." The result was hysteria. This year, however, the "bogey" has had a far different reception. . Arbiter, entente cordiale, is there to .keep Mademoiselle la republtque from over excitement and Mademoiselle merely shrugged ber pretty shoulders at the grimace of the bogeyman. But she Is not treating Germany with contempt; she knows that Would be foolish. She Is only preparing for the worst quietly, practically and openly, that her neighbor may take the hint and not press her too closely. . The first man to step into the breach was little M. Delcasse. True he has nothing to do with foreign affairs now, as he had when the "bogey" last rattled its chains, but he controls the navy and Is quiet assurance that that branch of the government's defense was ready, nay willing to participate In the threatened festivities, exerted a quieting effect upon the temperment of the public. iNexi came mo Minister ot war, ni. Messlny, with the cool assurance that the army, under Its- new Commander-in-Chief, General Joffe was amply able to back up the rea force. These two assurances, together with the prompt action ot England In fulfilling part of the entente allayed any signs of fear, and Germany's attempted coup, scarcely caused a flutter of the public's pulse. Though the social season Is dead and gone, and though everyone Is supposed to be out of town, the surprisingly large number of fashionables, who still stick to the blazing streets and sunbaked arphalts, Is. rapidly earning for Paris a reputation, as a ummer resort that compares favorably with New York, London and St. Petersburg. The socially elite are no longer slaves to the yearly preregrinatlons of their kind. It is no longer a Ign of financial embarassment to summer In the citly. And It is no longer considered social Insanity to vow a preference for the convenience of the capital at the expense of the fashionable though uncomfortable CTKAMSPAlUtirr) Sllin and clothing are en tirely different things.

winter places of Switzerland and Southern France. In fact a social revolution is quietly under way, and this revolution had its nucleus In the large number of wealthy Americans who evinced a decided preference for the delights of "Gay Paree" and an equally strong aversion for the nefarious servility of French summer resorts. Year by year sentimental toward Paris as a summering place has decreased and year by year more and more of the socially prominent are seen in its streets. This steady increase in ranks is more than ever apparent this summer, and, though the heat has been particularly trying, and though a water shortage of the first magnitude has stricken the community, one may drop Into any of the Boulevard cafes and find them filled with men and women whose names and social prominence figure In the current news of the day . Particularly is this true of the Ritz, the headquarters for the American colony. Here nightly gather Herman H. Harjes, W. I. Widener, Mrs. Anthony Drexel, Miss Anne Morgan, Mrs. Ogden Goolet, the Marquise de Castellane, Prince Aymond de Faucigny Lucingo, and many other prominent

Americans and Parisians with their wives and families. Just now, with a stifling heat settled upon the city, attention Is directed toward the water famine that has the French capital In the throes. Rumor and counter-rumor Swell and diminish the list of reported sufferers. Hundreds are said to be dying one day and relief is foreseen the nextf In spite of the casualties that are said to have taken place one sees very little abatement in the teeming life ot the city. Theaters, cafes and boulevards present the same cosmopolitan, happy assemblage. And even the most dire predictions of the prefect of the Seine slide off the Parisian tem perament accompanied by a shug of the shoulders and a smile. An echo from the past has again stirred into life "the rumor that the Archduke of Austria, Jean Salvator, who left the land of his birth under disguise and suspicion, would return to claim the throne that is his by right of Inheritance. When the Archduke left his native land he took the name of John Orth and after a lapse of a decade had been reported many times dead. Recently his death was official ly declared. The Princess De Saxe, however, a favorite cousin of the Archduke's, is the instigator of the rumor that has caused a stir in Austrian political circles, tv 3 more especially since the aged Emperor Franz Joseph is rapidly nearing the grave. She expresses belief in the Archduke's safety and his inevitable re-appearance when the present tenant of the Austrian throne is dead. , To give credence to the rumor the Princess recites a letter received from the Archduke after he had twice been reported dead In which he says: "I go away because the Emperor wishes. But I will return when Franz Joseph is dead. I will come back to Vienna for Austria will need me. Adieu, my cousin, I will surely return." Princess Louise anxiously awaits the reappearance of her cousin. Color Blindness. One thing is definitely shown by the tests that have been made for color blindness lu various races no race, however primitive, has been discovered Id which red-green blindness was the universal or general condition, and this is a fact of some Interest In connection with the physiology of color vision, for It seems probable that redgreen blindness siuce it is not by any means a diseased condition represents a reversion to a more primitive state ot the color seuse. If this Is so no race of men remains tn the primitive stages of the evolution of the color sense. The development of a color sense substantially to the condition In which we have It was probably a prehuman achievement. Professor R. S. Woodworth In Science. A Gambler's Philosophy. "There's co use in trying to buck against bad luck," said the successful gambler as he put down his glass of vlchy and milk. "If you see luck is going agu!n6t yon. drop out If the fickle goddess of fortune Is with you woo her for all you are worth. That's the whole secret of the game. I've been gambling all my life, and I rarely lose. Why? Because 1 never take a chance against bad luck. Luck is bound to be either with you or against you. Tou win or you lose. The chances of breaking even are mighty slim. So 1 never buck bad luck."

The Scrap Book HOTEL SPOOF. Harry Lauder's Joke on an English Newspaper. "I'll tell you a story about Arthur Roberts ajjdv me." said Harry Lauder, the Scotch comedian. "The pair of us were in Manchester when we saw on the sporting page of the Guardian a paragraph that said: " 'In consequence of the number of unsupported challenges recently forwarded to this paper we give notice that in future only genuine challenges can be accepted for insertion in our columns. As a proof of good faith each challenge must be paid for at the uniform rate of 1 shilling.' " Arthur.' said I. 'here's a chance for a Joke.' "'How?' said he. "I read the notice to him. and then and there we concocted a challenge of which I shall never cease to be proud a hotel spoof challenge. Of course there is no such game or sport as spoof. Spoof Is a word very few people have ever beard of. To spoof is to get off impromptu nonsense on the stage. Well, our challenge ran: "'Hotel Spoof. Harry Lauder, hearing so much talk about A. Roberts being the champion spoof player of England, will play Roberts a game of hotel spoof for .r00 a side, catch-as-catc bcan. over eight flights of hurdles, bathroom barred. Address, money and man, U. louder. Comedy Theater. Manchester.' , "That was the challenge, and we had no Idea what It meant after we bad drawn it up. Nevertbejess we carried it boldly to the Guardian office. The clerk read It in a dazed way. " 'One Insertion, please,' said Roberts, planking down a shilling. " 'Excuse me,' said the clerk, 'but what is spoof?' "Roberts glared at him. " 'None of your nonsense with me, young man. be growled. 'What Is spoof? You'll be asking what chess or whist Is next. "And the following morning, directly under the editorial notice that 'only genuine challenges could be accepted for Insertion.' appeared our little paragraph about hotel spoof." Sho Gave Him an Answer. A business man said to his wife at dinner: "IlereMs a riddle for you, my dear. Why Is a husband like dough?" The answer to this riddle was, "Because a woiuan needs him." The business man expected his wife to give the riddle up or else to guess that answer. But his wife said calmly: "Why is a husband like dongh. eh? Well, I suppose it's because he's so hard to get off one's bands. His Treat. In the course of a railway Journey one day Queen Helene visited a small wayside station, where she was met by the mayor and corporation in all the glory of their robes of honor. An elegant luncheon had been provided. SOUGHT FOB A HASDKCBCHIZF. but the queen, wishing to hasten on her Journey, requested a member of the deputation to get her a glass of wine. This was promptly brought, but while drinking It a drop fell on her traveling dress. Her majesty at once opened ber band bag and sought for a handkerchief to remove the stain, whereupon the worthy mayor, misunderstanding her action, murmured humbly: "Ah, no, your majesty! J assure you it's all paid for." Anticipation. - It has been well said that no man ever sank under the burden of the day. It Is when to-morrow's burden is added to the burden of today that the weight is more than a man can bear. George Macdonald. Wanted All of Them. Rivers had been detained by a business meeting at the club, and the hour was late when he reached home. : "So ifs you. is it! exclaimed Mrs. Rivers, wbo was wide awake.

It was 3 o'clock in the morning as Mr. Youncuusband crept slowly up the stairs.- Everything was peaceful in the house. Opening the door to his room noiselessly, he stepped upon the tail of the family cat. Naturally a pentrating yowl resounded through the night. "John." said his wife, awakening, "don't you think it's rather late to be singing? The neighbors might complain." It Made H: wife Laugh. At breakfast she said: "Dearie, you know the plumbers are coming this morning and the watec will be shut on a couple of days. Weil need some up in the bathroom, and I thought you could carry up a few bucketfuls from the cistern and fill the tub." "All right," be replied. He had found the best way to have peace at home was always to agree with his HE STARTED TO WORK wife. "You get the buckets, wifey, and I'll get busy right away," be told her. She found a couple of palls, and lit? Btarted to work, buckets of water had been poured laboriously into the bathtub when on his ue.xt trip he found her waiting at the cistern. She was laughing so hard it was with some difficulty she managed finally to tell the hardworking hubby more what the matter she was laughing. was. It had Just occurred to her that the water pipes had not yet been disconnected and the faucet in the tub might, just as well have been turned on. Hubby never said a word. He only turned red, put on his bat and coat and went downtown. Kansas City Star. CHINESE FANMAKING. The Industry Carried on In Ono District For Centuries. The fanmaklng industry in China was started centuries ago In the village of Pengshow. at Ampow. about three miles from Swatow. It was formerly confined to women in various households, but for many years past every family in the village has been devoted to the work, all the members of ,the families being occupied in the manufacture. Only the open fan is manufactured in this district. For the frame the split bamboo is repeatedly rived until each piece is sufficiently slender and flexible. There threadlike pieces of bamboo are arranged in a row, attached to each other by a thread passed crosswise through the middle. This thread is fastened to a semicircular strip of bamboo, giving the fan its shape. The ribs are then slightly heated and bent at the ends. The fan has now the peculiar and characteristic shell-like shape at the top. Very flimsy silk gauze is then pasted on the face and a kind of tissue-like paper on the back. After the handle is attached the bor der of the fan is black varnished ana the gauze is coated with a chalk and water mixture. -The bandies are made of bamboo, various kinds of hard wood, bone and Ivory. The band paim Ing on the fans is cleverly done, Iv some instances being works of art.Exchange. DON'T FORGET That NOW Is the time to protect yourself against loss by WINDSTORMS. Costs but little.

Next In importance are the early days of courtship, for a Portuguese courtship is the essence of romance, and the ways of the Portuguese lover are singularly picturesque. Here is a little drama in which Cupid Is stage director. If a young Portuguese sees In the street a pretty girl with whom be would like to become acquainted he follows her. Chaperons are not Impossible obstructions. He follows her right up to her very door and notes the address. Next day he comes again, and if the young lady approves of blm for she certainly saw blm the day before she is on the lookout. Sometimes hard fate in the guise of an angry parent prevents ber. and then the gallant youth is kept waiting. Sooner or later she leans over the balcony and smiles at him. The happy youth ties a note to a cord which the fair lady drops from the balcony. The next day the young man comes again. This time he rings at the door. If the inquiries which the young lady's elders have made prove satisfactory the swain is admitted to make the acquaintance of the young lady. After that courtship in Portugal is about the same as it is In Kankakee or Kalamazoo. Leslie's Weekly. .
