Mme. Geoffrin's Husband. Mme. Geoffrin, like most Frenchwo- men, had the gift of making phrases. ‘When Rulhiere had read in her salon work upon Russia, which she feared might involve him in difficulties, she offered him a sum.of money’to burn It. The author waxed wroth at the in- sinuation fmplied and broke out’ into an eloquent assertion of his courage and independence, She listened pa- flently and then in a quiet tone “of oice sald, “How much more do you want, M. Rulhiere?” She married at the age of fourteen M. Geoffrin, ‘a Wealthy glass manufacturer and leu- tenant, colonel of the national guard. His duty as husband seems to have been to provide the funds for her so- clal campaigns and to watch over the getafls of the menage. It is related of him that some person gave him a his- tory to read and when he asked for the successive volumes regularly palmed off upon him the first, as if it were new, At last he was heard to say that he thought the suthor “re- peated himself a little” A book print- ed in double columns he read straight across the page,’ remarking that “it seemed to be very good, but was rath- er abgtract” One day a visitor in- quired after the silent, white haired old gentleman who was in the habit of sitting at the head of the table. “Oh, he was my husband,” replied Mme. Geoffrin, “before he died!"— Argonaut. Birds That Make Incubatore. In the incubator the pale yellow chicks, their soft down not yet quite dry in places, fell in their attempts to rise and walk, like men dead drunk. “There’s another,” sald the chicken farmer as an excited little head came out of an egg. “Wonderful things, these incubators. Would you believe that there’s a bird that makes them? “Yes, sir; a bird, the megapode, makes its own {ncubator every time it has a nest of eggs. It isn’t bothered, lke other birds, with the long and monotonous work of sitting. “The megapode halls from Australia, the Barrier reef country. Its incuba- tor is a simple affair, merely a great mound of leaves. In these leaves it buries its eggs, knowlng that in'that hot, mofst climate the leaves will fer- ment and in thelr fermentation give off just emough heat to hatch the chicks. “Who can deny futelligence to this bird, which makes its own incubator to hatch out its own eggs?”"—New Or- leans Times-Democrat. Cooking With Sunlight. Sun cooking—roasting and bolling by sunlight instead of coal or gas—has been golng on for 800 years. There are sun stoves that roast a sirloin or| boil a soup to perfection. They are only used, however, by sclentists. A sun stove consists mainly of a mirror— a spherical mirror on a joint. There 15 also a reflector. The place for pot or plate is s0 situated that the mirror's Tays can be focused on it accurately, A German, Baron Tchernhausen, was the first sun cook. He began in 1687 to boil water, and in 1688 he had very good success at baking eggs. Sir John Herschel and Buffton are otber fa- mous names assoclated with sun cook- ing. In California various sun cooks have boiled a gallon of water in twen- ty minutes, roasted meat in two hours and poached eggs In fifteen minutes— quite as good time as the ordinary fire makes, An odd thing about meat roasted by sun rays is that it has an unpleasant taste. This is avolded by e insertion of a plate of yellow glass tween meat and mirror. In all solar stoves the sheet of yellow glass fig- ures—Clincinnati Enquirer. Queer English Laws, “No statute law of Hngland ever ean Do obsolete,” a legal journal says. “Once enacted, it continues in binding force untll repealed.” I such be really the case, there ought to be some lively times ahead for several classes of the community. For fnstance, what will builders have to say to the act which penalizes any person who erects a house without at- taching to it at least four acres of land? This was one of “good Queen Bess’ " laws, and it has most certainly never been repealed. By another unrepealed statute, which dates back to the first year of King James I, it 1s enacted that not more than a penny may be charged for a quart of the best old ale nor more than 8 halfpenny for a llke quantlty of smn}l beer. The penalty for each in- fraction of the act is 20 shillings, so that if it were rigldly enforced it ‘would not need, apparently, a licensing bill to ruin the brewers.

Bayonne, France, Aug. 3.—Reliable news regarding the situation in Spain received here from San Sebastian rep- resents conditions as very grave throughout the northern part of the country, where all the trades unions have given notice of the beginning of a general strike. ; The government has selzed all the telegraph and telephone wires in the affected provinces to prevent the lead- ers of the strike movement from com- municating with cach other. The transmission of newspaper dispatches has been entlrely stoppéd, forcing a suspension of a majority of the jour- nals. The greatest excitement reigns among the working classes. Reports received here direct from Madrid say that King Alfonso is greatly de- pressed over the interior situation. He desired to throw his persomal popu- larity in the scale and it was with difficulty that he could be dissuaded from going to Barcelcna in person. Premier Maura told him it wouid be equivalent to suicide to enter that hotbed of anarchy. BARCELONA STILL ISOLATED Only Censored Reports Are Received From That City. Paris, Aug. 3.—The facts as to the sltuation at Barcelona remain some- what shrouded, as no correspondent yet has reached the city, which is isolated by land and sea. The cen- sored reports coming out of Madrid are suspected of being over optimistic. Nevertheless, it appears certain that General Santlago has succeeded in re- storing a semblance of order in the city and a serious effort to resume work will be made. At the solicita- tion of the authorities the employers of Barcelona have agreed to offer a premium of a week’s wages to every person coming back to work. At what cost in life and proporty comparative tranquillity has been re- stored in Barcelona, however, contin- ues unknown. Reports agree that the troops, by the use of machine guns, drove the revolutionists back. The main body of the mob escaped and took refuge behind the barricades in the workmen’s quarter, whence the revolutionists were finally expelled by shells from the guns of Fort Mont- Juich. Refugees arriving at the fron- tler speak of the “terrific slaughter” and estimate the dead at thousands, but allowance must be made for panio. . But if order has been restored at Barcelona it seems equally certain that the outlying country, especlally the district north of the city, 1s in the hands of the revolutionists and the task of reducing the remainder of the province will probably entall much ad- ditional bloodshed. ANTIQUATED, TACTICS USED One Reason for Slaughter of Span- iards at Melllla. San Sebastlan, Spain, Aug. 3.—Fur- ther particulars regarding the situa- tion at Melilla say the arrangements for caring for the wounded are de- plorable. There are but few doctors on the scene. Medicines, surgical in- struments and other appliances are al- most entirely lacking. During the fighting of July 27 the staff of Gen- eral Marina, the commander of the Spanish forces, was decimated. Some companies lost half their strength and three-quarters of their officers. All the reports speak of the bravery of the men and officers, but dwell upon the stupldity of the antiquated tactics employed and the disorganization of the commissariat. LITTLE CHANGE IN SITUATION 8paniards at Melilla Bombarding the Moorish Stronghold. Madrid, Aug. 8.—According to offi- cial dispatches recelved here the sit- uation at Melflla remains unchanged. There are still strong bodies of Moors hiding in the gorges. Mount Guruga, the Moorish stronghold, is being con: stantly hombarded by the Spanish ar- tillery. There have been but few Spanish casualties. A dispatch re- ceived here from Alhucemas, the Span- ish island fortress and prison settle- ment on the Moroccan coast, says the Moors have opened a rifle fire on the town. Catalonlans Proclaim Republic. Paris, Aug’ 8.—A speclal d'spatch received here from Cerbere reiterates the previous reports that a number of communes in Catalonia have pro- claimed a republic and declares that the municipality of Palamos had de- clared that it is to be free and inde- pendent.

Blindfold Buyi The man who rushes blindly into the first yard he comes to when he buys lumber will never get round shouldered carrying the money he saves by such tactics. Those who reason that all lumber is alike because it looks alike, have several more guesses coming. There’s as much difference in lumber as there is in shoes or clothes, and you don't buy those with your eyes shut, do you? As lumber is supposed to last a long time, quality should be the first consideration in buying. Your money talks here, of course, but what you get for your money, talks more yet, Our rule of quality first—then price—satisfaction always—doesn’t leave any chance of blindfold lumber buying at this yard.
