WASH DAY IN FRANCE. .
III Many Homes Laundering is Dene
Only a Few -Time a Year.
It was unfortunate perhaps that
V6 had arrived during the "lessive."
That is always a most important
function in France. In almost all
the big houses in the country
(small ones, too) that is the way
they do their washing. Once a
month or once every three months,
according to the size of the estab
lishment, the whole washing of the
household is done. All the linen
master's, servants', guests' house
is turned out, the Linen closets
cleaned and aired. Every one looks
busy and energetic. It is quite a
long affair lasts three or four days.
I often went to see the perform
ance when we made our "lessive" at
the chateau every month.
It always interested our English
and American friends, as the wash
ing is never done in that way in
either of their countries. It was
Tery convenient at our place, as we
had plenty of room. The "lavoir"
ttood at the top of the steps leading
into the kitchen gardens. There
ma a large square tank sunk in the
ground, so that the 'women could
kneel to their work, then a little
higher another of beautiful clear
water, all under cover. Just across
the path there was a small house
.with a blazing wood fire; in the
middle an enormous tub, where all
the linen was passed through wood
ashes. There were four lessiveuses
(washerwomen), sturdy peasant wo
men with very short skirts, sabots
and turbans, made of blue and white
checked calico, on their heads, their
strong red arms bared above the el
bows. The Mere Michou, the eldest
of the four, directed everything and
kept them well at work and allowed
very little talking. They generally
chatter when they are washing and
very oftei quarrel. When they are
washing at the public lavoir in the
village one hears their shrill voices
from a great distance. Our linger e,
lime. Hubert, superintended the
whole operation. She was very keen
about it and remonstrated vigorous
ly when thoy slapped the linen too
hard with the little flat sticks, like
spades, tllcy use. The linen all came
x l. .1 xt.
out. uciuiuiuuy wime aiiu biuuuiu.
It hadn't the yellow look that all

Green Oysters.
In Europe green oysters, called
groenbarden or marennes, are espe
cially prized, and to meet the de
mand oysters are greened by placing
them as soon as captured in sea wa
ter, where they are kept for months
and fed on a species of seaweed
which imparts the coloring matter
to the gills.
From carefully conducted investi
gations it appears that in some cases
green oysters owe their color to the
presence, of copper. Such oysters
are not generally considered desir
able as food.
Green oysters containing copper
differ in appearance from, those ow
ing their green tint to vegetable col
oring matter, being grass green and
not dark green in color and having
a verdigris-like slimy secretion on
the folds of the mantle. It is said
that after the addition of vinegar a
eteel fork 6tuck into such oysters
becomes coated with copper and
that if ammonia is added the oysters
become dark blue. New York Sun.
Leap Year Proposals.
What woman has ever availed
herself of the privilege of proposing
in leap year? Nevertheless, it is
interesting to discover whence the
idea arose. "Her maist blessit maj
estie Margaret" decreed in the year
1288 that during her reign every
maid of Scotland, whether of high
or low degree, should speak to the
man she loved. If he were not be
trothed already he must marry the
maid or pay 100. Queen Margaret
died, and the women were then
clamorous for this strange privilege
to continue. To appease them an
act of parliament was passed allow
ing the maidens to make their pro
posals every fourth year. London

London's Lord Mayor. ,
A London paper reports that it
costs the corporation of London
about $90,000 a year to maintain
the pomp and 'elorv of the lord
mayors office. The lord mayor gets I
o0,000 a year salary, new furniture
for each incumbent costs $500, and
the robe supplied to each newly
elected official is worth $1,000 The
rates, taxes and tithes pa3-able on
the Mansion Ilouse total $10,000 a
vear, and other incidental expenses
bring the annual cost of the office
tip to $90,000.

ANECDOTE OF A FLOWER.
A Russian Nobleman Gave the Century
Plant Its Name.
About two centuries ago a Bus
si an nobleman traveling in Mexi
co saw and admired the maguey'
plant, which is a native of Mexico.
The plant was so much admired
by the Russian for its beauty and
utility that he was eager to have
growing specimens in his own coun
try) So when leaving Mexico he
procured some roots to take home
to the czar as a present.
On his first visit to court, after
he reached the capital city, he told
of the wonderful plant and asked
permission of the czar to present to
him the specimens which he had.
The czar graciously granted his re
quest and gave the roots to the
court gardener, who promised to
give the plants his best attention,
but unfortunately before he could
plant them properly as he intended
he was taken suddenly ill and died
without having accomplished any
thing. Another gardener was appointed.
In the meantime the roots lay in the
sack in which they were first placed.
The new gardener, not knowing
their value, threw the sack away,
and it lay unheeded in a corner of
the garden day after day. Some
time afterward his little daughter
picked up one of the roots and in a
playful mood planted it, but paid
no further attention to it. The
czar had forgotten all about it. In
course of time the ruler died and
also the second gardener.
The plant in after years put out a
few spikes for leaves, but did not
thrive in the cold air of Eussia. It
grew very slowly, and its origin was
not known to any one save the wife
of the former gardener and the
child that planted it.
Years passed, and still the strange
J)lant, with its thick, long, straight
eaves, now nearly six feet tall, did
not bloom, but as it grew taller it
attracted notice, and the new czar
sometimes looked at it and wonder
ed if it would ever bloom.
In time he, too, died, and still
the maguey bloomed not.
But just after the coronation of
another czar a stalk shot up from
the root of the plant and rapidly
grew to the height of twenty feet
Soon many clusters of small buds
appeared, which slowly unfolded
and became white blossoms. The
wonderful plant had bloomed at
last.
The gardener said it was 100
years old and had bloomed in hon
or of the new czar. Word was sent
to him, and he and his whole court
visited and admired the flowers an&
the plant,,.
The poor exile from the sunny
skies of Mexico had earned its re
ward and a new name, for ever since
that day it has been known as "the
century plant."
Wher,r4e Was Lacking.
A man wno had served two terms
in congress was making a campaign
for a third term. In the course of
a speech in the town hall at Broom
corn Junction, a village near the
farther boundary of his district, he
said :
"It is true, fellow citizens, that I
have not always been able to do as
much as I should like to do in the
matter of internal improvements in
this district, but I have never lost
sight of your interests for a single
moment. You have no idea of the
obstacles that lie in the way of a
congressman who tries to secure ap
propriations for public buildings,
the improvement of navigable
streams and the like for the benefit
of his constituents, but I want to
assure you, fellow citizens, that I
have labored constantly in your be
half to the very best of my ability."
"We, know it!" shouted an old
farmer I in the audience. "That's
why we want an abler man!"
His Pretty Visitor.
"Hear about Blenkinsop?"
"What about him?"
"Left his motor in front of his
office yesterday, was gone half an
hour, and when he returned what
do you think he found ?"
"Motor disappeared?"
"No, my bey. Jolly pretty girl
sitting in it."
"What did Blenkinsop do ? Tell
her to get out?"
"Not a bitf it! He jumped in
and took her home with him."
"Great Scott! What did Mrs.
Blenkinsop say ?"
"She said, Til call for you again
tomorrow, dear.' " London Scrape.
The Historian's Size.
Macaulay was destitute of bodily
accomplishments. He could neither
swim nor ride nor drive nor skate
nor shoot. But be viewed his de
ficiencies with indifference touched
with humor.
When in attendance at Windsor
as a cabinet minister the historian
was informed that a horse was at
his disposal. , ,
"If her majesty wishes to 6ee me
ride," said he, "she must order out
an elephant"
