Theu there is another growing vice,
but Lot limited to the ignorant
masses, that o. professional fortune
telling. The journals have adVer-

without 6rst re 1dering.to the cloisters
OF the jacobius, to consult Csmpar-

Iogy. A few days ago young
scoundrel was sentenced to eight
years imprisonment; be was the son
of q house porter, and coveted the
grand daughter aged thirteen OF
Acadenaician Legorlre, his fathers

juvenile deliquents who come before

crimes, uniformly admit their

How divorces are avoided in France
and even separations Rain aEd
Mobile are commercial travellers; the
the former has q young and pretty
wife, who has a weakness for Noble;
whenever the husband shows signs OF
jealousy, the vile, the servant maid
and the paramour attacked him with
beck and clubs. Informed OF his
wife's infdelity, adopted the old
trick, assumed q voyage out OF town;
he returned in the Afternoon, rain,
and announced himself, then des
cepded TO the hall, and with dag
ger and revolver awaited Don Juan.
The latter came at rafting pace,
fred three shots over the bead of the
husband, who fell down in sWoon,
unhurt, but sWears the balls are IN
his chest. Mobile was arrested in
the ash pit. The husband being Of
fered to pardon his wife if che
promised to sin no more, the jury

Quilted wife and paramour.
a girl aged teu was arrested for
begging with too much egrontery;
she confessed that if she did no.
bring home twenty two sous day to
her parents, they burned her limbs
with q hot wire for every sous short
of the account. The mum ereus
marks showed the balance to be heavy
against her.
The origin of the word can can is
derived from doctors differing at the
beginning OF this century, over tWee-
dle-dums and tweedle-dees; then 1t
WA applied to the science of twaddle
in general, which was 80 volumln-
ously spoken ss to resemble the
squeaking of ducks. In 1880,
peculiar dance was named can can
because its movements initiated the
Waddling of ducks, or perhaps OF
Aimee; since, the dance has become
peculiarly fast, and its perfection
consists in a lady being able TO knock
of her partners hat with her big
toe; there were prima donnss IN this
line.
The first parasols made in France
were coverei with oiled silk or linen
or leather, and weighed generally four
pounds. To-day a fashionable lady
consider iherself bound to have as
many psrasols as toilettes. Some
countries have a state umbrella:
and some west African monsrchs
would give their eyes to have back
that symbol of power. Theirs
boasted, that he was al CID umbrella,
on which sixty years of political
bad weather had done its worst.
The number of persons disappear
ing suddenly and leaving DO traces
behind is again on the increase.
this does not apply to boiling cash
iers.
