q s1He chains you with 3 glance" is d
eorresp ondent's allusion TO one of the
Irregularities OF "a Paris police official.
This is pleasant variation of the hack
neyed reference to iinks4eyed officials.
Unless that correspo ndentgo into trouble
with the Paris "cobs" he would not have
worried his vocabulary SO.

E The building Of sailing ships is again
increasing in British yards ten per cent
more Of the total having been sailing
vessels this year than last. The prob
able reason is that they are cheaper
freight carriers than steam craft. Be-
sides some OF the European powers may
want to buy some of them very soon.

James was born in.

Spanish daels appear to be as harmless
as the traditional French encounter.
The Minister Of Marine at Madrid has e1-
changed bloodless shots with an editor
whose writings had displeased him. The
most becoming part Of the affair was the
resignation of the Minister after the duel.
The Minister should practice on his
neighbors barn, and by hard work and
close application TO business he might
yet wing the editor.

The Canadian Government, for one
dollar, Issues permit allowing China
man to return TO the country. The head
tax on new arrivals is $50. This arrange
ment is very convenient, inasnuch as &
Chinese resident Of Canada has only to
take out permit to return and mail it
to friend who desires to leave his ma
tive land. Canadian government off,
Gals are very fond OF the coin as recent
disclaims demonstrated.

In a recent case before Judge Anthony
one Of the solid men of the Chicago it1-
dietary, a man was charged with man
slaughter for trying to shoot doctor
who had taken advantage Of his profess
sion to ruin the wife of the defendant.
The Judge intimated that as citizen,
he regretted that the man was such
poor shot: but as a court he was obliged
to send him to Jail for one day. There
is great deal OF human nature about
some courts. And Chicago courts take
the bakery.
Realistic performances in Paris may be
too realistic even for that gay city. The
proprietor Of the so-called .!Theatre Real
iste" was up before q Paris Chamber of
Core ctional Police, charged with giving
indecent performances. He was fined
200 francs and sent to prison for fifteen
| months. One Of his actresses received
Is months, another two, and third one
month imprisonment. 1t is nearly time
that such indecent exhibitions were pun
ished in Paris. What change has come
over that city.
The Southern Express Company grant
ed, some time ago, the demands of it's
messengers for more pay. Later the
company discharged the committeeman
who presented the demand, and reduced
the wages I'd. the former figure As re-
suit, q strike Of messengers from Cairo
to New Orleans was ordered. The
strikers have the sympathy Of the rail-
road men. The Express Company should
have lived up to it's agreement and there
would have been no strikes.
