FIGARO IN THE CHAMBER.
Citizen Chsuvin, tho ex-Barber' to "rs'e
French Legislative HaIls,

Among the new deputies in the French
Chamber IS a barber. ". Chauvin. The
new legislator is doubly distinguished for
his ardent advocacy OF socialistic doc
trines. and for having had the honor
OF manipulating the shapely heads of the
actresses OF the famous Theatre Fran
Gals. The following interesting sketch
of him IL taken from the Paris Illustre
of September 18th;
NJ. Chauvin, elected to the French
Chamber for the Seine District, aban-
doned the mines at the age Of l6. He
became a hair-dresser, and had the dis
tInctlon of running his comb and his
curling-irons through the locks OF the
prettiest members of the Theatre Fran
cats Politically. he IL q revolutionary
Socialist, an active member OF the work
ingmen's syndicate. a speaker at public
meetings. and sworn enemy OF the EN-
ployment bureauX. These charact eris-
ties commend him to the suffrage OF the
electors for the suburb of Puteaux (the
Fifth District of St Denis.
To all who have reproached him with
his too ardent advocacy of the working
man. he has replied: We'll what would
you have me to do? Because of my ideas.
all my patrons leave me. and / must go
into some other business"
Why should he not go into Parliament?
His trade makes him a contemporaneous
Figaro, y political Figaro adapted to this
fin de steele, such a person as Beaumar-
chai5 would picture were he living to-
day. We have seen NJ. Chauvin at home
ia Paris, I'm his shop in the Rue des Ar
chives Marais He was not aware that
perfi1ious journalist, under the guise
OF a client, was watching him. Conse-
Quently. we have been able to observe
| him at our ease i'm the exercise OF his
! profession when he had no motive or
! posing

The Eject of Athletics on the Physique OF
the Middle Glasses.
(st. Louis Globe-Democrat)


Francis Cation has collected some inter.
estirg facts in regard 20 the effects OF
athletics and improved physical condi-
tons during the last forty years on the
physique OF the middle classes that great
and important part OF the English popula-
ton which I'm the arbitrary social scale or
the country lies between the artisan class
or one side and the upper ten thousand
on the other. Mir Cation gives instructive
evidence OF the ameioration OF the upper
middle class. When he was an Undergrad

was taller than the majority OF his fel-
lows. In undressing them he habiWally
lowered hts eyes. and II In crowd he
would readily see over the heads Of the
people. Writing IN 1893. he states that he
no longer possessed these advantages.
Altered social conditions. in his opinion.

and address of this class. such conditions,
for instance. aa more wholesome ana

clothing. moderation in the use OF alcohol.

healthy lives led by the women In their

There IL no doubt that we have learned

question that England has already learn
