The way in which the people subscribe for government bonds and the way in which France meets al) indemnities has given them repute as financially ahead of all oth- er countries. The wealth of the peo- ple of France is estimated at $45,000,- 000,000, or more than $1,100 for each man, woman and child. In the last 15 years the French bhave loaned ebroad $521,490,000, and yet the gold imports of the country have amounted 10 $785,500,000, In the year just closed the gold held by the Bank of France increased $200,000,000, making the to- tal $700,000,000, the largest in the k's history.

In these days the legislatures take | up novel problems, as weil as fix the size of hotel sheets. The Tllinc legislature has before it a bill inten ed to give a distinct title to mar men as a means of preventing the palming themselves off upon unsu pecting women as being single. State Senator Ettleson, whé is the cham- plon of this bill, has been approached by a number of unmarried wome who say that married men are con- stantly imposing upon them, bec it is impossible from & plain i duction of “Mister” to tell $bey are married or not. “The #ied man ought to he segregated,” said. “An unmarried woman Mise’; & married woman ‘Mrs’ T Efrangement i3 highly satisfactory it is calculated to promote harmeny between the sexes, Now, If the thing works one way, why won't it work th other? Let us make it a felony for a fharrled man to use the bachelor title. The change will be for the go of'soclety. It will be a bulwark f the home, It will protect susceptible unmarried ladies. It will abolish at one blow all the married flirts.” It it only would do this, it would be the greatest law ever devised, but since there is no way to prevent a “Mrs.” from taking In a single man, how could a speciaj title interfere with the rascally pretence of .a married man? Speclal titles will not do it. A LABOR CONDITION. It is eingular that men are being discharged from the navy yards of the country juet at a time when ths fleet is returning from g round the world tour, one-balf of the ships of mwhich are to be overhauled and com- missioned to do duty in future on the Peelfic coast. Those in charge of the navy yards say that there are no funde in hand &t the department wherewith to con- tinse the employment of these men. end so they are necessarily dis- charged.

In their efforts to get air when the first skim of ice appears, these fish rise to the surface and the water is kept constantly disturbed.

Don't you believe that opportunity only comes once to every person and then takes an eternal farewell, There is no reason why anyone should be listening for opportunity’s knock at the door. Opportunity is the handmaiden of every industrious worker who is making a way n the world for himself. There are doors and doors walting to be opened to the man who is ready to enter. It is work of preparation which makes opportunity show up like the myth it js. Do not waft for oppor- tunity, but forge ahead and let oppor- tunity take care of itself. Opportuni- ty meets efficiency at every corner. Prepare yourself to fit some place well and the place will be there when you are ready to fill it. Waiting for op- portunity to kmoek once has been the bane of more than one person’s life. The condustor of a trolley car is no goat.

The cards were collected emid much laughing and talking and £00d humored reillery. While they were being sorted and classified, quiot Iy and swiftly, numerous walters placed upon the small tables many delicactes. “There, T guess that's plain enongh,” and Mrs. Ashe reluctantly tendered her card, her name written on both sides, and settled back with a satisfied sigh to enjoy the proftered dainties “My, you had phenomenal luck, my dear, the last hand.

She be- gan to fumble nervously with her score card, miserably conecious of the ar- restad attention of & hundred women. “Why, that's so! I never thought of that! Where did she got the odd num- ber?” and one of the guests turned in- quiringly toward the hostess. It was a horrible moment for Chris- tine Milward, The tense silence, the ghocked card players waited with bated breath for the pitlable vic of the unusual clrcumstance to expiate herself. Christine’s mind was an ah- solute blank, and she was conscious of only one thought, an intense, fever- ed wish to sink through the floor, to get away as expeditiously as possible | from the inquiring, accusing eyes. Mrs. Merriman ~stepped forward, quickl: “Never mind, dear, we'll have this straightened very soon, Did you have anything added to your score which would make it uneven? Who played with you when you made one hundred and twenty-five, your second score?” Mrs, Milward tried to speak, choked and shook her head, unable to articu- late. “Are thers any other odd scores in the room?” No one spoke or moved. “Well, 'm shtisfied that your score 1s all right, my dear! Will you please choose your prize? and Mrs. Merrl- man spoke deliberately. “No, no, I don't want it,” and Chri tine quickly found her fect and voice. “I—I couldn’t, thank you" and she turned toward Mrs. Ashe, “there's the winner,” she added, after a slight the punch bowl is Mrs. Willard, or would you pre- fer something else Just then someone rushed into the room, coat on arm, and claimed the attention of Mrs. Merriman. “My dear.

They love the chlildren, and if in their anxiety they chide us, we should alide in charity and say things to soothe rather than te frri- tate. The mother-in-law has been a real helpmeet to many a son-in-law. They have made a goed record. Did you ever look uj: life's “bettar: There are quite a lot of them Ia litera- ture.

But take it the year through, there never was a twelve months when we were called upon to send grateful and appreciative thoughts back to so many men of distinction in Iiterature, states- manship, music and other spheres of achievement. Amd it is noticeable that the men honmored all made some con- tribution the permaneng uplifting of their fellow men.
