PARIS, May M-The chamber of depu-
ties today had stormy debate over the
question OF authorizing the prosecution Of
NJ. Baudin. socialist deputy, on tho
charge of having assaulted the police on
May day. During the course of the de.
bate Beaudry d'Asson. Royaiist, became
irritatcd at being interrupted several times
in the course OF his remarks by NJ. Dupuy.
prime minister. He finally expressed
the opinion that NJ. Dupuy ought to
be compelled to apologize for wha. he
termed his "disorderiy interruptions" At
this point DAsson was compelled to sub
side by the president. and NJ. Dupuy de-
clared that the attitude aud manner of
D'Asson precluded him from replying to
him. When vote was taken on the ques-
tion the chamber authorized the minister
of Justice TO prosecute Baudin.
In consequence OF the treatment to
which he was subjected, D'Asson has sent

A Queer Little Quaker Custom.

Near the city of Philadelphia there
are a few quaint old villages where
Quakers and Quaker customs are to be
found just as they were in the days of
good old William Penn. You have no
idea how odd some of these customs are.
A few days ago New York lady was
travelling through one of these little
villages, and, being tired, she stopped
at an old brick farmhouse to rest. I'm
mediately there carne cut little girl,
dressed all in gray, who invited her to
come in the house and have cup of
tea and some cakes. When the lady
had partaken of her refreshment and
turned to 60, she offered the old-fash-
ioned maid in gray some candy out of
sweetmcat box which she carried at her
belt.
"No, thank thee" said the little
one bashfully. II thank thee--but
no."
please take the candy" urged tho
lady. II want to give it to you because
you have been so kind to me-"
For a minute the little one hesitated.
She put out her hand, as If yielding to
temptation, and then drew IL back res
olutely, as she said: rs a.sH
II thank thee, no. I may not take
the candy now, because when thee
asked me first, if would have some, I
told thee no, and now may not takes
any until thee comes some other day"
