A SOCIAL PALA-CE: I WRITER'S gic111E.
PARISI- FAMOUS "FAMILISTERE" 1THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING IN
. FOUNDED BY M. GODIN. IT, AFTER ALL.
A Co-operative Factory with Hundreds
of Families Living Under a Single
Roof—Easy Hours of Labor—Aged and
Crippled Insured.
From his boyhood M. Godin had been a
student and follower of the social ideas of
Fourier and Pere Enfantin. Now, having
reached h position of power, and •intlepend-
ere, he determined to Put those theories
into practice. His plan was to make one
great family of all, his work people, with
rommon mutual interests in the general wel-
fare. He accordingly erected a large build-
ing, to which additions have since from time
to time been made, until it now has a front-
age of siearly 600 feet. This he divided into
suites of rooms forhis workmen and their
families. Ho called it the "Palais Social."
But it is more commonly known as the
"Familistere." At first the workmen did
not like the idea. They thought it would
diminish their independence to live in such
an institution. But . M. (laden soon per-
suaded them that the system would make
them really more independent, beside ena-
bling them to live far more cheaply and there-
fore save far more money.
In addition to the main building various
wings and additional buildings have been
erected, until now more than 400 families are
lodged in the "Palais Social." Were these in
ordinary city tenements they would solidly
occupy a street more than a mile long. The•
buildings are all of brick, and are practically
fireproof, and constructed with every possible
device for the comfort and sanitation of the
occupants. The buildings are four stories
high, and each story has a clear height of
ten feet. There is an 'abundant supply of
water in every room. There is also large
courtyard attached to each building, paved
with cement and roofed with glass, serving as
a playground for the children in bad weather.
The doors of the buildings are never fastened,
and there aro no watchmen nor special rules,
so that all the occupants are as free to come
and go and do as they please, as though each
family lived in a cottage of its own. Each
family may rent as many rooms as it pleases,
and its apartments are entirely separate from
those of its neighbors, excepting, of course,
that they open upon a general 'public hall-
way. Indeed the system is very much like
that of of one of the huge apartment houses
which have become so common in American
, cities. The teat of the buildings has been
about $200 for each inmate, and the rent
charged averages about el per month for
each room, I may add that 11, Godin him-
self had always occupied a set of rooms in the
"PalaiS l:401.i111." differing from those of his
workman in no respect save the furniture,
etc., he put into them.
Conneeted With the establishment there are
also free schools, which are of a higher grade
than the public schools of France, free libra-
ries and reading rooms: a well equipped the-
atre, the prices of admission to which range
from five cents to forty cents; gardens and
parks, co-operative stores, at which every-
thing .can be purchased at the lowest possible
prices and then pay an annual dividend of
profit to the purchasers; a cafe, a nursery,
.and numerous minor institutions. There are
also twmflourishing choral societies whose oc-
casional musical festivities are events of real
artistic interest. The nursery is the most
valuable of all these adjuncts to the "Palais
.. Social." It is a large, cheery building in
charge of a corps of nurses, where mothers
may leave their children for the day while
they are at work, For there is much eme
ployment for the women, in the stores, the
laundry and the stocking factory. There are
vradles for the very young babies., and play-
room and kindergarten for the older. Even
here M. Goolin's inventive play came into
akill, in devising new kinds of cradles, etc.,
for the babies, by which the comfort and
• welfare of the little ones is insured, while the
labors of the nurses in attendance are re-
duced to the minimum.
Such is the place where the people live,
Near by is their workshop. The manufacto-
ries cover nearly -four acres of ground, and,
as much of the building is several stories
high. there must be in all at least fifteen
acres of liner room, There are five miles of
tramway connecting the various portions of
the works, and fully 1,200 are constantly em-
ployed. The bulk of the business done is the
manufacture of stoves, ranges, furnaces,
grates and their settings, coal scuttles,
and
other done stic of cast irmi. It is
' said the finest casting in the world is done
there. Perhaps se. .1 have never seen any
finer. . The a magnitude of the business may
be reckoned front the fact that there are
usually it, hand. in stock, from 30,000 to 40,-
000 stoves fuel cook ranges ready for ship-
ment,
M. Godin jet loves in• etisy hours of labor,
According to hie theory, a mite ought not to
work mere than three or fem. lours at a
stretch. So he hail them all go to work at 6
in the trimming and keep at, it till ii. Then
there was ri, leour's intermission for rest and
recuperatlen. Fo.,om 10 to 1:110 they worked
again. and then rested for an hour nail a
half. Another :stretch from 11 to 6:30 finished
the day's w' irk. ln all, therefore, ten hours'
work was done. But by being broken up
into three sections it fatigued the men less
than eight hours' continued toil would have
done. v.,e will understand how low wages

V,'0111 the outset M. Coffin established the
principle ef giving each workman a share in
the profits of arfpital proportionate to his

The capital of the establishment is e900,000.
The amnia' d i v idond of profit to the work-
men aver:lees about b per cent, on this, or
572,000. This pays about $100 a year each to
the workmen who live in the Palais Social,
for of the 1,200 hands employed some 500 are
mere outeiders, who live in the village of
Guise and come to the shops merely for their
wage.s, 3k" workmen in any orrbeary fac-

Souse Author; Excusable for Adopting a
Pseudonym —No Poetry in i'Longfol-
how"—"The Macaulay Flowers of Liter-
ature"—"Carp." "Guth," "Howard."
Sometimes a writers name is so uncouth or
so commonplace that it seems of itself unfit-
ted for fame, and a.pseudonym appears to he
his only resource. It is hard to imagine a
girl named Jenks making herself famous as
a lyric poet, or a man named Meek becoming
a world renowned novelist., The difficulty in
such cases, however, are apt to be overesti-
mated, and achievement of fame with such
drawbacks, while it may las hard, is by no
means impossible. We are apt to accept
things as we find them, and to think them
fitting because they were' always to us as
they are. Knowledge of the worket writer
has done has a magical effect upon his name,
and just as the old lady approved Adam's
judgment and discrimination in calling the
inhabitant et the pen "pig," "since 'pig' is
such an appropriate name for such a dirty,
repulsive, disagreeable animal," so we are
apt to approve the names that masters of
the other pen possess, because we have al-
ways confused the name with the work it
represents.
WHAT'S IN A NAME!
Probably there is not a refined person in
America to whom the name "Longfellow,"
for instance, does not, without consideration,
suggest a poetic idea. We think beyond the
name, and of the poetry of the writer; and
yet, "Longfellow," when it is considered by
itself, is not a,poetie word, while its counter-
part, "Shortfellow," is rather ridiculous.
"Macaulay" seems, no doubt, to almost every
one, a refilled and stylish name, which would
give any writer a long start toward making
for himself a good reputation. The contem-
poraries of the historian, leowever, did not find
his name impressive, or P'undi when he first
began to write would never have auggested
that his essays were "the Macaulay flowers of
literature." "Tennyson" is by lib means so
poetic a name as "Whittier," but the fame of
his work has made the English laureate seem
the equal, if nut the superior, of the New
England poet in this respect. Not to multi-
ply instances, such common names as Smith,
Black, Green and Lamb, names so inemigru-
ous as Cable and Motley, and so uncouth as
Keats and Platt, have, with hosts of others
equally ineligible, been given a share of inn-
mortalite, ' When a man named St ubba can
make his name famous as an historian and a
scholar, no writer need despair because his
fate did not make him a DeQuintey, miii Ala-
. rich, or a Bryant, instead of a J Mies or a
Jenkinson.
The man makes the name rather than the
name the man. Still a good name is always
an 'advantage, and in choosing a signature
the young writer must decide whether he
will conquer fate with the name his sponsors
gave him, or whether he will choose a
pseudonym that will put a Jenkins at once ou
a le.gel with a Hawthorne or a Carlyle.
STICK TO IT ALWAYS.
When once he has chosen his name, 110‘1,
ever, he it his own by right of bayitisie, or a
fictitious, choice, he should stick to it always
and forever. Some brains may be weighty
enough to make more than one name Im-
mortal, but the trouble is generally of an-
other kimL Writers who have habitually
used more than one name have generally act-
knowledged their error after a time, and
have devoted themselves to one signature,
dropping all others. A well known Wash-
ington newspaper correspondent a year or
more ago was writing to The Cleveland
Leader a series of widely quoted letters,
which he was signing "Carp:" another series
of letters he was signing "F, (1. C. ;" and a
series of articles for a newspaper syndicate
he was signing with his full name, "Frank
G. Carpenter." One day it dawned upon him
heawas doing the work of three men. making
a reputation for three writers, and getting
the credit for only one-third of the work lie
slid. From that day -on he has wisely signed
everything he has written witlehis real name
in full.
Sometimes there is an advantage to a news-
paper writer in signing his articles simply
with his last name, • His signature then has
to the uninitiated the appearance of a good
pseudonym, while to thosh who are better
informed it recalls the personality • of the
writer, "Howard" pursues this plan.
"Carleton" and "Perley," two other well
known newspaper writers, chose their middle
names, "Gath" modified his initials into a
signature that his letters have made famous.
In each case there is something about the
signature that suggests the writer himself,
and he gets the advantage cof a pseudonym,
and of his OWII signature at the same time

LINCOLN'S MILITARY INSTINCT.
What Gen. Sherman Says—Military Science
In Uateehnloal Terms.
He nev,rofessed any knowledge of the
laws and se ace of war, yet in his joyous
moments he would relate his large experience
as a soldier in the Black Hawk war of 1832,
and as an officer in the Mormon war at
Nauvoo, in 1846. Nevertheless, during the
progress of the civil war he evinced a quick
comprehension of the principles of the "art,"
though never using military phraseology.
Thus his letter of April 19, 1862, to Grim. Mc-
Clellan, then besieging Yorktown, exhibits a
precise knowledge of the strength and pur-
pose of each of the many armies in the fleld,
and of the importance of "concentric action.'
In his letter of June 5, 1863, to Gen. Hooker,
he Wl'OLO:
"In one word, I would not take any risk of
being entangled upon the river (Rappahan-
nock), like an ox jumped half way over a
fence, and liable to be torn by dogs front and
rear, without a fair chance to gore one way,
or to kick the other."
Again, June 10, 1863, writing to Gen.
Hooker:
"If left to me, I would not go south of the
Rappahannock upon Lee's moving north of
it. If you had Richmond invested Way,
you would Italie able to take it in twenty
days. Meanwhile your communications, and
with them your army, would be ruined. I
think Lee's army, and not Richmond, is your
objective point. If he comes toward the
Upper Potomac, follow him on his flank and
on the inside track, shortening your lines
while lie lengthens his. If ho stop, fret him
and fret him,"
This is pure science, though the language
is not technical.
'It is related by Gen. Grant in his memoirs
that when he was explaining how he proposed
to use the several scattered armies so as to
accomplish the best results, referring to the
forces in western Virginia, and saying that
he had ordered Sigel to move up the valley
of Virginia from 'Winchester, make junction
with Crook and Averell from Kanawha, and
go toward Saltville or Lynchburg—Mr. Lin-
coln said, "Oh, yes! I see that. As we say out
west, if a matecan't skin, he must hold a leg
while somebody else does."
In his personal interview with Gen. Grant
about March 8, 1864, Mr. Lincoln recouated
truly and manfully that "he had never pro -
leased to be a military man, or to know ho;/a
campaigns should be conducted, and never
wanted to interfere in them; but the procras-
tination of commanders, and the pressure
from the people at the north and congress,
which was always with him, forced him to
issuing his series of military orders, one, two,
three, etc. He did not know but all were
wrong, and did know that some were. All
he wanted or ever had wanted, was some one
who would take the responsibility and act,
and call tin him for all the assistance needed,
pledging himself to use all the power of the
government in rendering such assistance."
At last he had found that mate—Gen. Sher-

Best Boys for Messengers.
'What sort of boys do we like best? City
bred ones, of course. The country lads are
as a rule not nearly as bright. Then they do
not know their way round. The little fellows
are the best messengers. When they get to
be 10 they are inclimel to think of themselves
as men. The city lads, especially those who
have been newsboys, are very sharp, 'cute
chaps; and usually we find them honest. We.
aro inclined to take a decent newsboy at any
time. He will cheer and smoke cigarettes as
a rule, but his eye teeth are cut, and he knows
how to take care of himself and the company
also. I could tell you some of tho finest ex-
amples of fidelity from a among such boys.
Oh, yes, they will swear and drink, too,
sometimes, but if they are all right in other
tespects that sort of chap gets along.
My experience is that the life of a hard
working newsboy, though severe and apt to
teach him many things ono would rather not
have boys learn, does not make him dishonest
or untrustworthy, but rather the contrary.
Indeed, he learns to have a.wholesome fear
of going wrong. Then such boys are usually
the children of mothers for whom they are
willing to work. Well, we would rather
have boys, of course, for whom' some one is
responsible.. Before we embloy a lad we ex-
amine closely as to where and how he lives,
who is working in his family, what they do
and how many they are. Our best boys, are
often sons of hard 'working widows.' There
is something in the necessity and love this
creates that keeps the boys steady. We like
to have a parent or guardian come with the
applicants. "—New :York praphic.

some hard substance and the reporter's

and, inserting his finger into the bag, brought
to light another mystery. It was a rabbit
foot, but so wrapped in strings and red rags
as to be barely recegnizable. Next to the
fur on the foot was wound some kind of a
flexible reed, Pot larger than a knitting nee-

three small pieces of red flannel cut in the

A man of a mathematical turn of
mind made an interesting calculation
as to the amount of whiskey consum-
ed by a steady drinker who takes on
an average of 20 drinks a day,writes
a New York correspondent. This
would give 146 drinks a week, or
7,280 a year. Supposing it is true
that a man can keep up such an av-
erage for twenty years, he would
have taken at the eud of that time
the enormous total of 145,600. The
average drink is abont 70 to the gal-
lon. °Dividing '145,600 by 70, it is
seen that the man has imbibed 2,080
gallons of whiskey, or about 57 bar-
rels allowing 36gallons to the barrel.
Supposing that the man's drinks cost
him on an average 10 cents a drink,
it is seen that he has spent a hand-
some little fortune in the course of
twenty.years.

Monday night a man mined
Edwards, of Sandwich West, s cut
torevivalservices at the colored
Church in Windsor and' left his
four . children. at home in bed.
About ten o'clock the eldest child,
a girl nine years old, was awaken-
ed -by the falling of burning pieces
of timber on 'the hod. She imme-
diately took the baby in her allots
and ran to a neighbor's house for
-help, and when she got back to
the house the fire had gained such
headway that it was impossible to
reach the other children,two boys,
who were in the same bed as those
who escaped, and they were con-•
sequently roasted alive. The
parents could see the house burn-
ing at a distance,but did not think
their little ones were in danger.
When the parents left the house
the fire in the stove was not burn-
ing and the lamps were not light-
ed. The fire is supposed to have
been the work of an incendiary.
Mrs Mellael Gall, a lady 25
'ears old, was assaulted at her
home, ncar I.akesike,
about half a mile from any other
house, by a tramp. After a des-
perate struggle the tramp was
foiled and left the room in a rage.
She was terribly and
did not venture out at once. Soon
after she discovered the house on
fire ned hail to make haste to get
out alive. Everything was in
flames in a short time and was
lost, including all the furniture,
clothing and adjoining barn. The
loss is $1,500. The tramp sot
the house on tire and then took to
the woods, After Mrs Gall was
driven out by the smoke and fire
she hastened to Mann & Moor's
mill, where her husband was al,
work, and related the outrage. A
gang of men went in Fiearell of
the tramp immediately, reinforced
soon after by the authorities, and
if caught the outlaw may be
thankful if be mopes hanging.
