SOCIALIST FORIHE FBENCHMINISTBY It Is Thought if the Present Leader Fails to Construct a Cabinet That 1V1. Poincare IVill Be Asked to Try Again. PARIS, June ISL—President Loubet received in audience early yesterday merning M. Casiiner- Pei1e1, for'me1 pres- ident of 1411a'11ce, and consulted 111th him regarding the ministerial crisis. The in- terview terminated about 11 o’clock, aft- er which \I. Loubet receive Senator Pierre “’aldeck- Rousseau. The latter, it is understood, has made his acceptance of the task of forming a cabinet conditional upon the co-operation of M. Casimer-I’erier and certain sec- tions of the chamber of deputies, which he hopes to secure. He has‘consulted with several statesmen and has had a very long conference with M. Lepine, formerprefect of police oi Paris. l\I'."‘Waldeck'-Rousseau is meetinglwith considerable difficulty, but he appears de- termined. He will confer with M. Lou- bet again before submitting :1 draft list of colleagues. Of the three former premiers whom he has consulted, M. Maurice Rouvier, who was president of the council of ministers and minister of finance in 1887, alone consented to take a portfolio. MI Felix Meline informed him that he failed to see how his appointment as premier would bring about a solution of the crisis." M. Henri Brisson contented himself with promising support and expressing good wishes. M. “Valdeck-Rousscau waited upon M. Casin‘ler—Perier and earnestly endeavored to induce him to" accept the portfolio of war 011 the ground that his presence at the ministry of war would simplify the difficulties of the situation. Thereupon M. Cusimer-Perier consulted with the president. who pointed out to him that he would be able to exercise more au— thority than any one else over the gen- erals in destroying the germs of irrita- tion. M. Casimer-Perier replied that he had definitely withdrawn from politics, but iie1e1theless would undertake to can- sider the matter M. Y1 alceck Rousseau w as notified of this .1'epl3, which gives him full liberty to constitute a cabinet of Republican union. The question now is whether he will go so far as to include a Socialist in the ministr3. He himself is indisposed to do so. and no doubt his view will p1evail. It is said that M. Clement Fallieres, president of the senate, informed M. Loubct yesterday afternoon that the sen- ate seemed opposed to the inclusion of M. Alexander Millerand, the Radical So- cialist, in the cabinet. It is understood that if M. W'aldeck- Rousseau fails the president will again summon M. Poincare, 11 born he has ask- ed to remain in Paris at his (Loubet’s) disposition. Fatally Injured at a Crossing. CLEVELAND, June 19,—Blase Pa- tric. a railroad section hand, proved him- self a hero yesterday and was fatally in- jured in an attempt to save a woman from death.

That members of parliament should be Allowed ‘to wear their hats in the house has often surprised foreign vis- itors to the historic chamber, says the London Mail. ' It is lucky for a- great many members that the rules of debate, while demand- ing the -wearing of a hat, make no pro— ‘visions as to the character the head- gear shall take. The obvious result is that the variety of parliamentary hats is wonderful and vast. But it is not so much the chhracter of parliamentary hats as the manner in which they are wow that is of in- terest. Some truly marvelous balanc- ing feats are performed with hats dur- ing every session. A. J. Balfour and the duke of Demu- shire can balance their hats on the bridge of their noses as if they had beenb weaned practicing the feat. The duke of Devonshire is especially clever in this way, and it is very difficult to say whether heKis not dozing peaceful- ly behind the ample brim tilted over his nose. It has been said that the, leader of the house of commons deliberately sets a trap for his adv ersaries by pretending to sleep in the shadow of his hat brim, so they may fall into error and he can pounce upon them. Another wonderful trick is that per- formed by Tim Healy, who balances the front brim of his hat upon the bridge of his pincenez in a way few men could accomplish the task. It is one'of the ‘unmistakablc signs that trouble is brewing in the immediate neighbor- hood of Mr. Healy’s seat. It practically amounts to an ultimatum to the gov- ernment, one which the party whips must not ignore. ’ A CATEkER’S rpu'r. " He Has a Regular Profession of Ell Own in London and Makes Lots of Money. Few business men pay more in the way of commission tips, “sweetening” and so on, than do refreshment con- tractors, caterers and providers for beam feasts and entertainments given by great firms and societies, says Lon- don Answers. “First- of all,” said a great London caterer to the writer, “employes of ours swallow a small fortune in paying the fees to join various orders, societies, minor clubs, smoking concert commit- tees, angling bodies and the like. There is no society in any district with any considerable number of members that has not some member who is paid by us. With regard to societies likely to yield us a. return we instruct our agents to push themselves forward as much as possible and help them with funds. We get an immense amount of business in this way and always give a commis- 'sion to any official of any club or society that gives us the contract, for in our business ‘sweetening’ is universal. “We ekeep one smart clerk whose sole duty it is to register all convivial and other clubs and societies and the date of their probable feastings and extra events. He makes out lists months be- fore the events and then we are after them.

Gertain Trees in California. and Australia. A California pine tree whose seed cones can only be opened by fire or great heat has been attracting consid- erable attention at Kew Gardens, Lon- don. It seems, however, that this tree, pinus muricata, is not alone in its salamander-like requirements, for a former Australian living in London writes as follows to the London Mail: “The wattle tree of Australia (acacia decurrens) also possesses the same pe- culiarity and its seeds will only ger- minate when subjected to great heat. '60th the seeds of this tree in boiling water or roasting them in a frying pan for some hours has been tried and found successful, but all other methods have! failed. After the seed has fallen from the tree it will often lie dormant in the ground for years, but immediately a‘bush’ fire comes along and reduces all the parent trees to ashes (as 15 often the case in Australia), the seed germinates and a perfect forest of young trees will ‘ spring up within 12 months. Even on ground where there has not been a wat- tle tree growing within living memory, these trees have been noticed to grow up after a. bush fire. The wattle tree be- ing very susceptible to fire, is easily killed, and if the same means that caused its destruction did not induce' it to grow again it would very soon be eradicated.” o The teak is said to be another tree whose seeds can only be sprouted by' 1n- tenSe heat.

MASTER scanners The Author lofll't' Wnnr‘Uuknovvn toll Many Years Until Accident- nuy Traced] In the cathedral ofNantes, France, there is a monument to Francis II. of VBretagne and his wife Margaret, which i is considered one of the masterpieces of French sculpture, says Harper’s Ba- zar. It is over 300 years old and until 20 years ago no one knew to whom to ascribe it. -Then, by chance, an old stone slab was discovered in the same cathedral, bearing the following in- scription: “I, Michel Colomb, was a. poor for- saken boy, whose only home was the highroad, where‘alone God and our ' Bretagne saints watched over me; I 'often forgot to eat and drink while ”looking at'the stonecutters who made the beautiful stone crosses for the holy place in the diocese of Leon; and I myself carved small images with a wretched knife, when worthy priests took compassion upon me, fed me and said to me: ‘Work, thou little one, and look as much as thou pleasest at the carved belfry and at the beautiful Work of the guild (the stonecutters and sculptors); look at all this, love the good God, the mild Saviour, and the blessed- Virgin Mary; then thy name shall be honored in the diocese of Leon and in the beautiful Bretagne.’ 'This I did for a long while, that I might be- come a. good workman, and then our .
