Canabetta. = MONUMENT.

There is a hitch in the construction
and preparation Of the really splendid
monument to Leon Gambetta which is
to ornament the vast square Of the
Louvre. Visitors and Parisians can see
the top of the monument, with SOME of
its inscriptions, rising, grit with scat
folding, over the strong boarding which
surrounds it. 1t stands on the left of
the square going riverWard from the
Rue Rivoli and nearly faces the famous
gate of the Place du Carrousel, which
once led into the Tuileries, and over the
portals of which is placed the pompous
inscription about Napoleon's rapid rush
back from Boulogne, where he was
contemplating an invasion of England,
to the banks of the Danube. It appears
that the delay in the works connected
with the monument is caused by the
fact that Barbedienne has not yet for
warded to the contractors the allegorical
figures in bronze which are to orna-
ment the pedestal. It is expected,
however, that the works can be re-
sumed about the 18th of the present
month, and that thewhole of the monu-
ment will be ready for Inauguration
about Jan. 1, 1888,-that is to say, for
the fifth anniversary of the tribune's
death.

A Strange Mania.

Danbury News: In one Of the vicini.
ty towns there is young girl about u
years Of age afflicted with strange
mania. She is large Of her age, Of fine
physique. possessed of good features,
and more than ordinarily prepossessing.
She is robust in health and shows
great activity, and is unusually smart
and intelligent, with the exception of
this mania. Every night about 8
o'clock she will go to neighbors
house to borrow a lantern. Each time
she will make new excuse for doing
SO. It she succeeds in getting the
lantern she then takes long walks.
She does not confne herself to the
public highway, but wanders about the
fields and frequently in the woods.
She does not seem to know what fear
is, either of man or beast. She FREE
quently perches herself upon fence
and sits there a long time dangling her
lantern. About 10 o'clock she returns
home and goes to bed contented Her
friends, of coarse object to these Ian
tern strolls, and she has to steal away.
Those of her neighbors who know
about them refuse her lantern. She
has number of times greatly frighten-
ed persons, which seems to please her
amazingly. She is in no respect way
ward, but seems possessed of a strange
and fascinating mania for lantern.

AN INTERESTING FACT.
Effect of tho Vibration of TELEGRAPH
Wires on Wild Animals.

Effect of tho Vibration of TELEGRAPH
Wires on Wild Animals.
Some Interesting facts have been brought
out In a paper by NJ c. Nelson, of Chris
tlana, on the impression produced upon
amin ais by the resonance of the vibration
or telegraph wires 1t is found that the
black and green woodpeckers, for example,
winch hunt for insects in the bark and in
the heart OF decaying trees, often peck in
side the circular hole made transversely
through telegraph posts, generally near the
top. The phenomenon is attributed to tn
resonance produced In the post by the vi
bration of the wire, which the bird mis-
takes as the result of the operation of
worms and insects in the interior Of the
post Every one knows the fondness of
bears for honey. 1t has been noticed that
in mountainous districts they seem to mis-
take the Migratory sound of the telegraph
wires for the grateful humming of bees,
and, rushing to the post, look about for the
hive. Not finding it on the post, they
scatter the stones at it's base which helm
to support it, and, disappointed in their
search, give the post parting pat
with their paw, thus showing their
determination at least to kill any bees that
might be about it Indisputable traces of
pears aDouG prostrate posts and scattered
stones prove that this really happens.
With regard to wolves, again, NJ Nielsen
states that when vote was asked at the
time for the first great telegraph lines, a
member of the Storthing said that although
his district had no direct interest in the
line proposed, he would give his vote in It's
favor, because he knew the lines would
drive the wolves from the districts through
which they passed. 1t is well known that
to keep off the rayages of hungry wolves in
winter the farmers in Norway set up poles
connected together by line or rope, under
which the wolves would not dare to pass.
And it is fact" NJ Nielsen states, that
when, twenty or more years ago, telegraph
lines were carried over the mountains and
along the valleys the wolves totally disap.
peared, and specimen is 1Aw rarity"
Whether the two circumstances are casually
connected, NJ Nielsen does not venture to
say.-lnteyior.

Wanted Some Flowers.

A lady living in the suburbs was
called down the other morning to see a
young girl who asked for her at the
door but declined to enter the house.
The lady recognized the caller as a girl
she had frequently seen in the neigh
borhood; but of whose name she was
ignorant.
The girl looked hurriedly up and then
bashfully cast down her eyes to the
doormat, which she nervously prodded
with the toe of her coarse boot.
"Got any fowersp" she demanded
with manner which seemed gruff, but
which was probably only frightened.
Eyes; few" was the reply.
'Got any flowers?"
''Not many. WhyP''
"Cause Mrs. Purington wants some. y
"Who is Mrs Puringtonp''
''She's the widow woman who lived
in the red house at the end Of Back
Alley.
"What sort of flowers does she want?
inquired the lady, utterly at loss to
know why Mrs. burlington, the widow
who dwelt in the red house at the end
Of Back Alley, should send to demand
lowers from a perfect stranger.
Il Dunno" answered the girl, more
sullenly than before.
''But what is she going to do with
them?''
81 Dunno repeated the caller.
"She's dead, an she wants some
flowers"
And the pathetic situation having
thus become clear at length, the lady
sent to the departed widow who would
dwell no more in the red house at the
end of Back Alley what ever blossoms
The frost had spared in her little garden.

Color Speech in Paris.

Business people in Paris have long since
formed color speech by which certain
trades are easily recognized. First of all
the color shops are distinguished by being
painted outside in squares and stripes OF
the most brilliant colors Viennese leather,
bronze and trinket shops have begun to
use the Austrian colors. yellow and black;
then the Spanish wine shops use yellow and
red; the italian, green, white and red The
business places where furniture carts for
removal are kept are painted yellow, az
well as the wagons-why, not even the
proprietors know. Pastry shops are light
brown outside, and within white and gold,
SO that one is reminded of the pastry itself.
Milk shops are white and blue, both inside
and out. The washerwomen now begin to
paint the outside of their ironing shops
a bright blue, while the carts that take the
linen to the wash houses in the country
are bright green Wine houses are all
painted brown, or a dull red, which is ex.
actly the color Of the vim ordinaire mixed
with cranberry juice and logwoed. Still
darker is the color of the charcoal shops,
which the dust soon renders completely
black. Bakers are fond of light brown and
white, with much gliding and large mir
