FOREIGN GOSSIP,

For speaking disrespectfully of the
Crown Prince in public place of en-
tertainment teacher of languages has
been sentenced to four months i'm
prisonment.
A POOR vine-dresser of Burgundy
drew from a lottery aprize of $4,000
Thankfully he gave $4,000 for the
building of church in his native vii
lage, and then with his family he went
to Paris, where, in one year, he spent
the remainder of his money. He then
returned to his village and became SEX
ton of his church.
THERE was a lively scene in the Ca
thedral of the French manufacturing
Town of Tulle, the other day. A priest,
in the course of his sermon, spoke Sc
verely against public schools not under
the control of the Church. A group of
men arose in the midst of the congre-
CATION and began to sing the Marseil-
laise and to cry, =" ViUe la COnansaase"
and "Down with the priestsr' 1t was
some time before the gendarmes could
quiet the tumult.
PRACTICAL joking is not always un-
attended with danger to the perpetrator,
as is evident from an event which re-
Gently occurred at Sue, Sarthe, France.
A man named Verle wrapped himself,
in a white sheet to Brighten some girls,
and SO far succeeded that they all ran
away screaming except one, who aimed
revolver at the pretended ghost and
fired six shots. Verle fell dead, one of
the bullets having passed through his
heart.
A SHORT time ago, according to the
correspondent of the London Telegraph,
the St. Petersburg police discovered in
the immediate vicinity of the Kasan
Cathedral the body of man lying in a
pool of blood; by his side was found a
blood-staincd dagger. The throat of
the unfortunate man was cut nearly
through. On the corpse was a label,
and upon this, inscribed in letters evil
IDENTIFY written with red ink, were the
following few words: "Ivan Sabego,
twenty-three years of age, of the Med
ico-Chirurgical Academy, is hereby
sentenced to the punishment of death,
as a traitor.-The Socialist Revolution
ary Executive Committee"
"As ALL of u.s." says London Times
correspondent, care interested in re-
quiring less wheat and meat from
America, if it can be done without re-
ducing the food of the people, may 1
suggest plan which, from my stand
point of thrift, would, think, at least
assist? This is simply that we should
not waste as we do. The amount of
bread that is wasted, even in the poor
parts of London, is very great. Saving
this bread and meat from waste is the
same as producing the same amount
more at home. It would reduce the
Americans bill by exactly CORE
spending amount, and so tend to open
their ports to our goods"
PAssANANTE, on the 3Oth of March,
left Naples for the Island of Eliza,
where he is to begin his career as con-
vict for life. When the King Procur-
tor-General took the news of the COM
mutation of the sentence to Passanante
the latter began to whimper and to
profess his sorrow for his crime. 1.-THE
heart which beats in the bosom of the
chief of the house of Savoy could not
do otherwise" was his remark. There
was great rejoicing amcng the street
rascals in Rome when Passanante's
pardon was known, and here and there
the crowds shouted out their satisfac-
ton with EXPLANATIONS not altogether
expressive of loyalty to the monarchy.
The Moscow papers state that a
great sensation has been caused in that
city by the murder of boy in po-
liceman's hut. The boy had been sent
by his master, an innkeeper, to change
twenty-five rouble note, and while on
the road displayed it to policeman
with whom he v-"s familiar. The lat
ter invited i.iul " enter the hut, and
closed the door after him. Half an
hour afterward the innkeeper, Moro
zoff, alarmed at the absence of the boy,
sent out some men to seek, and with
very little difficulty they traced him to
the policeman's "bootka." The door
they found fastened, but the window
they pushed open, and then dreadful
sight revealed itself of the boys head
less trunk lying on the table, and the
policeman concealing the head beneath
the flooring. Other policemen were
speedily summoned to the spot, and
the gorcdovi, with his hands still
stained with blood, was taken before
the District Magistrate. who at once
committed him for trial.
