And Uncle Sam’s Polite Consul
In a City In France.
HOW THEY MET AND PARTED.
And How Light Was Thrown on tha
Problem That the Woman. Who Wae
French and Voluble, and the In
fant, Who Wae American, Presented.
Nut very king after having taken
charge of one of the consulates In
Pruhve I was olio morning seated at
tuy desk htixlly engaged in figuring
over my quarterly accounts, wheu sud
deuly a woman currying a bundle In
het arms appeared before me. 1 had
not resided m Fviiiipp sufficiently loug
to Imbibe I he unadulterated French po-
lltetiexB, but I had progressed suf-
Ucleutly to ask:
"Madame, wlinl van I have the pleas
are of dolug for you tills morning?"
"Monsieur." she exclaimed, walking
toward me, holding out the bundle us
If to deposit it on my desk, "this Is nu
A men van tin by. What shall i do with
It?"
Abashed at the prospect of so sod
denly becoming a father with the or
ange blossoms and rive mnlrtcd and
knowing that the American govern
nieut had established no precedent or
maintaining orphan asylums either at
buine or abroad. 1 hesitated a moment
and replied:
"Will the madtime please be seated
over there liy the door and tell me
why. being a Frenchwoman, she has
become possessed of an Amertcau
baby?"
It never occurred to me to examine
the little bundle of humanity. I had In
previous times rather prided myself oti
my ability to distinguish the nation
ality of people, had even boasted 1
could tell them by their shoes, but 1
had never tried my perceptive [lowers
on Infant physiognomies.
“Volin!" she said, seating herself.
1 shall never forger that 'word volla.
It was one of the lirst French words I
ever learned You know It means—oh,
so many things when used exelama-
torily. us 11 generally is. Usually, how
ever, to the beginner In (he French
language it conveys the meaning of
“Here It Is." Than was about as far ns
I had progressed In my French educa
tlon at that time In regard to the many
varied meanings ot votin, and I de
termined that If it nieniil the bn by then
it would retain Its geographical loca
tion Indefinitely-that Is. In Hie wom
an's lap over by the door, or preferably
outside Hut liei voim referred not
so much to the infant as to the story
of how It nitne to be In her possession
She talked volubly while I tried to as
some the defensive power or silence
Hut to a Frenchwoman - well, silence
simply menus what the jockey gives
the horse hi the last heat- encourage
ment.
From the verbal French cyclone she
buried at me l gathered a few frag
ments tlial enabled me to understand.
For three months she had been em
ployed as nurse by an American wom
an who had paid her good wages. Four
weeks previously, however, the mother
had returned to New York, saying she
was going over for only two or three
dayH on an urgent business matter and
would return at once. She had'not seen
or heHrd ot her since. Being a woman
who had to work ftir' her own living,
the baby was a burden on her hands.
She could hardly support herself, much
less provide for the infant, and as the
child was ot American parentage she
thought the representative of the Amer
ican government ought to take care
of It.
I suggested that I would write to the
city authorities In New York asking as
to the genuineness of the address that
the woman said the tnothei hud left
with ner.
"And what shall I do during all the
time you are waiting for an umwer—
starve?"
My answer finally was n twenty
franc gold piece, with which she de
parted. saying she would try to take
care of the baby until l could hear
from the New York authorities.
Now. the reasonable and the unrea
sonable part ot the story Is that since
her departure, though the sun has
risen hundreds ot times, she has never
returned It bad not risen more than
seven times, however, before t learned
the reason.
It was Just one week later at an In
formal dinner of the sixteen consuls
who resided In the city that In the
course of a conversation with my Ital
ian colleague I told Dim the story of
the woman and the nab.v. Wbat do
you suppose he answered?
"Well, well.” he laughed, "why. that
8ame woman came to my office, only
she had an Italian baby. An< 1 thought
1 was fortunate to get rid of her for
50 francs."
In the general conversation that fol
lowed I discovered that the woman
nnd visited every one of the sixteen
consulates tn the city, and by her abil
ity to change the baby’s nationality
from English to German and from
Haitian to Japanese and all the other
colors of the rainbow she had extract
ed from the consular corps of that par
ticular French city the sum of 775
francs.
This Incident Is Just one of a series
of similar experiences with frauds and
falters a Consul has to face In the per
formance ot nis duties.—Tbornwell
Havnes In New York Tribune.
WOMEN SOLDIERS.
Thsy Posed as Men and Fought With
th > British Army.
The British army has had Its women
soldiers, and two of them arc burled In
the cemetery of Chelsea hospital One
of these dauies— Hannah Snell, a truc
ulent looking person, whoso portrait Is
preserved 111 the great hall of the hos
pital. served ill the siege of I’oudl-
clierry and vas badly wounded, her
sex being discovered when she was re
moved to the hospital She became a
pensioner and wove on occasions the
three cornered tftit ami uniform coat of
Chelsea and wus at her own request
burled In the graveyard of the hospital.
Christina Davis.was the other female
soldier hurled In this cemetery She Is
described as a "fill. Jolly woman."
Another Englishwoman who success
fully posed iis a mail ami enlisted ns n
soldier was Phoebe llessel. who was a
private In the Fifth foot regiment nuj
fought lit Fontenoy In 1745. under the
Duke of Cumberland, being severely
wounded. Ultimately she died at
Brighton In 1821 at the age of 108.
The most famous Englishwoman
"soldier," however, was "Dt. .lames
Barry." who Joined the meilleal corps
tn ISIS and served at Waterloo and In
the Crimea, hi 1858. after many promo
tions, she became Inspector general,
and It was not until many years later
that the fact that she was a woman
was discovered.—8L Louis I’ost-Dis
patch.
ELECTRICITY AND WATER.
Little Danger In Turning a Hose on
Heavily Charged Wires.
The slight danger that liretnen run
through the electric current passing
from heavily charged wires up the
stream of water they are squirting Is
proved by an experiment conducted by
Ugo TnrUigllnl nnd reported lu La
Sclenza |ier Tuttl.
A trolley car wire charged with a di
rect current of 525 volts had one end
grounded: on the other end he directed
a stream from a hose with a nozzle fif
teen millimeters In diameter. At 2.20
meters distance a voltmeter attached
to the nozzle registered twenty volts.
At slxt.v-flve centimeters distance It
registered seventy volts and at twenty
centimeters 210 volts The average man
enn stand a current of fifty volts with
out serious shock, so a tlrcmnn who
holds Ids mizzle live or six feet from a
live wire runs no great danger.
Mr. Tartaglinl u^ude the same experi
ment on two lines of alternating cur
rent, one with 2,200, the other with
4.000 volts, and the voltmeter did not
register any current In the stream of
water, although a slight shock was per
ceptible when he pat his hand Into It.
With a chemical extinguisher he got ii
current of 1.550. volts at 225 millime
ters from a wire with a current of 2,050
volts.
Ypres and Death.
In nolland and Flanders, according
to the Manchester Guardian. Ypres Is
connected In the mind of the people
with the Idea of death. If a Dutchman
or a Fleming wishes to descrilie a par
ticularly lugubrious person he will say,
"Iltj zlet er alt nis de dood van Yper
en" (“He looks like the death of
Ypres"). This expression has been pro-
verhlul since Ypres was ravaged by the
plague la 1240: "the death of Ypres” Is
a vivid expression like our "black
death.” But It Is also taken literally,
for Ypres Is In sober truth one of the
dead cities of Flanders It Is more dead
Chan “Bruges la mortc,” which owes
1,'ts reputation In tills respect more to
George Itodeubach's novel and the rev
eries of other artists than to nctuul
fact "Ypres sleeps and Bruges slum
bers," says n Dutch writer of travel
pictures.
Making Matches.
The manufacture ot matches !r h
complicated and elaborate process. In
which are used ii succession of Ingeni
ous machines and devices which most
work at all times with the utmost pre
cision and delicacy. It is now possible
to turn out from a single dipping ma
chine about 000.000 square matches an
hour. A green log Is made Into match
es and packed for shipment In less
tbun two hours.
Duty Ever Present.
A sense of duty pursues us ever.
It is omnipresent, like the Deity. If
we take to ourselves the wings of the
morning nnd dwell in the uttennoBt
pnrts of flit- sea. duty performed or
duty violated Is still with as, for our
happiness or our misery.—Daniel Web
ster.
One Solid Benefit.
“I tell you, sir the great benefit of
a college education lies in the friends
you make." 'That's so. No mnttcr
how old you are, if you have been
through college you ran always find
some one to play poker or bet on the
races or go on a spree with."—Life.
Left Over.
"Robert,” snld his mother, "what mis
chief have you been up to now? 1
can tell by the look in your eyes that
you hnve been naughty." "Oh," re
plied Robert, that's part of the look
left over from the last time 1 was
naughty.”
Wreaths for the Victors.
In classic times successful warriors,
athletes, poets and singers were some
times crowned with bay. it is some
times written (tint they were crowned
with myrtle wreaths. These leaves
came from a tree which botanlBls call

fed plant? Don’t expect something for nothing. Make up for the
meager plant food under your crops by a liberal application of
Swift’s Top Dresser Fertilizer. If you use no fertilizer at all under
your crop, the more urgent the need of Top Dresser.
Do not “save at the bung to lose at the spigot.”
Your best interests demand proper fertilization of your crops.
Especially at the fruiting period must the plant be properly fed.
Swift’s Top Dresser means Fruit, an abundant harvest.
. Well balanced, high in quick acting Ammonia, as is proper, with
sufficient Phosphoric Acid and Potash to supply the varied needs
of the plant as necessary, the Swift Top Dressers give far great
er net results than the use of Ammonia alone in Nitrate of Soda.
Use Swift’s Top Dressers and be prosperous.
