One Policeman,s Power.

The Paris project of police is today
the most unaccountable and the most
powerful man in France. His functions
are highly varied. He controls not
only the ordinary police that patrol the
streets and keep order, but also the
detectives and officers who constitute
the "police judiciaire," and who work
up criminal cases. Besides these, he is
master of the political police-the
governments secret agents-and he
has in his hands secret service fund
to spend unaccountably except as
regards his immediate superior, the
minister of the interior.
His department covers the mainte.
nance of order everywhere in streets
and public places, the punishment OF
misdemeanors, the inspection of weights
and measures, the organization of i'm
portant life saving and sanitary services,
authority to permit or to forbid public
spectacles, licenses of numerous sorts
such as omnibuses and cabs and river
steamers-the regulation of certain
trades and callings, and, in general, the
control of great number of services
that affect the security of life and
property, the public health and the
convenience of great community

Good Rules for Sea Bathing.

Sea bathing has merits which no
other form possesses. The surround
ings are cheerful, the bather is in pure
air, and even the gentle shock of the
waves adds something to the healthful-
ness OF the indulgence as well as to its
pleasures. Sea water being colder than
fresh water, has greater tonic effect,
and, as with oil powerful tonics, caution
must be displayed in its use.
OF all who indulge in sea bathing,
probably not one in twenty does SO
judiciously, and receive the benefit that
he ought. Time passes very quickly in
the water, and, with but an occasional
exception, bathers remain in it much
too long, coming out with pallid faces,
purplish lips and chilled and shivering,
II not In state bordering on collapse.
The average duration of sea bath
should be about five minutes for chill
dren, and ten minutes for older ones.
Strong and healthy women should
remain in the water only about ten or
fifteen minutes, while the period for
robust men should not extend beyond
twenty minutes. The number of those
who observe these rnlcs is very small
indeed, and for this reason sea bathing
more often proves hurtful than other.
wise.
On leaving the water all should rub
down well with coarse towels, and if
reaction does not come on quickly they
should dress as soon as possible and
walk briskly along the beach until they
are well warmed up, or seek restora-
tive in the form of a cup of hot tea,
coffee or milk. Boston Herald.

Lions Like Lavender Water.

The old theory of animal liking for
scents denied them any share in such
pleasures unless they suggested the pres
ence OF their food or prey. But such a
reason can hardly be alleged for lions
liking for lavender water. The writer,
wishing to test for himself the reported
fondness Of many animalsfor perfumes,
paid series of visits to the geological
garden provided with bottles of scent
and a packet Of cotton wool and there
tried some harmless experiments which
apparently gave great satisfaction to
many OF the inhabitants, Lavender
water was the favorite scent, and most
of the lions and leopards showed UNI
qualified pleasure when the scent was
poured on the wool and put into their
cages. Spectator.
