Milkmen are much the same all OYER
the world in their attempts to palm off
upon the publc as much water as they
can disguise. On the Boulevard de Ma
genta recently, at an early hour in the
morning, two policemen came upon one
of these purveyors of tactical fluid busily
filling up the cans on his cart from the
pump, and with such stuff, tool Owing
to the drought most of the water used
in Paris is taken from the Seine, and its
quality may be gathered from the fact
that in the public schools orders have
been issued that none is to be employed
for drinking purposes without being fl
tered.
The constables challenged the milky
Aquarius, who replied ~courteously: "Ah!
well, you have fairly caught me this
time. Jump up on my cart and 1 will
drive you to the police office to save you
trouble" This amiable invitation was
refused by the sergents de vile, who or
dered the delinquent to come out of his
cart and walk with them. Instead of
complying he whipped up his horse and
attempted to escape. At considerable
risk one of the constables seized the an
ima.'s head, brought it to a standstill,
and arrested the delinquent, who along
with his mixture was marched off to
the station. The unusual incident col
lected a large number of spectators,
chiefly workpeople, whose remarks to
the erring milkman were far from COM

LONDON, Sept. l5.-The exact date of
the approaching contest between Slavin
and McAuliffe has not yet been fixed, nor
will it be until shortly before the fight.
Both men are now practically ready and
in capital health. The American has
worked off about forty pounds of super
fuous flesh. while the Australian has
been adding slightly TO his weight, as he
always does before a tussle. Slavin is
luxuriously installed at Dover court with
his manager, Jack Lewis. Franks daily
life is TO rise early, walk a mile or so and
battle, then breakfast; her he reads let
tiers AMI papers and takes a quiet canter
of twelve or fourteen miles, then home to
be rubbed down and dinner; then he fools
about the lawn tennis nets and SO on;
then he punches the ball and perhaps
spars with Mccarthy. 1t is rather a
sight TO see Slavin punching the ball. He
sets about it with gritted teeth. just as if
it were an actual foe, and it always comes
back to his fist. On one occasion he
punched 1t through the plank root. 1t is
a significant fact that Marcus Mayors
challenge OF 600 on McAliffe, as pub
lished in the London Herald, found no
takers. There seems. however, to be no
doubt that both men are in earnest and
that the fight will be perfectly on the

The English will not consent to a
tunnel under the channel, lest it might
serve as a path for an invading foe,
and objection is made to the proposed
bridge across the channel, not only be-
cause it would obstruet navigation, but
for the moro serious reason that the
project is impracticable. AS a compro-
mise, NJ. Bunan Varilla, a young
French engineer, who has already dis
tinguished himself, proposes to con
struct the tunnel to within half a mile
of either shore, to build viaducts one
hundred and fifty feet high the rest of
the way, and to connect the tunnel
and the viaducts with elevators run
ming in iron towers. In case of danger
of invasion, he points out, it would be
a simple matter to stop the elevators
