lnweicOlise Children,

Large families. it mas often been re-
marked. are uncommon in France. Pos
sibly the fact that there seems very
great prejudice against them may help
IN some degree to explain the fact. A
father Of = family of four children and a
highly respectable man, II. Lacroix.
finds it absolutely impossible to obtain
apartments near his place Of business
at st. Nance. near Paris. At several
places he was received by concierges
with civilty until he ventured to say he
had rather large family, when the door
was promptly shut upon him. Going a
little farther out Of town to Vincennes.
he managed. as he thought, to secure a
place and actually paid the ..denier a
Dieu." or blackmail levied by concierges
on new tenants.
On presenting himself. however, with
his four children he was politely but
firmly told that the bargain must be de-
clared off. Fortunately NJ. Lacroix is a
man of resource. The forest OF Vim
cennes is close at hand. and there he has
erected huge tent. divided into sepa-
rate apartments by means of curtains.
For the present he declares his new
abode is a delightful one, for the weathes
in Paris is particularly fine. Meanwhil

The Melancholy Season.

The season has now come when the
humorous writer proceeds to describe
with much glee the struggles of the sum-
mer resort maiden to ensnare the occa-
sional man. The pleasantly, like the
stovepipe joke, is perennial. having re-
Cured for some years as regularly as
the summer. And unfortunately it has
certain amount of truth in it. In the
struggle for life of large watering
place. where the girls are many and the
competition fast and furious, scarcity
imparts to the entire masculine sex =
fictitious value. and the most inferior
specimens assume an exaggerated inn
portance, just as small. poor fruit may
command fancy price during year
when the peach crop has failed. 3
The natural desire for attention, the
potent fear OF appearing neglected in the
eyes of the other women. the deteriorat-
ing effect Of wishing to get ahead of the
rest, make many a nice girl angle for

whom in New York. under happier con-
dltions. she would hardly care to bow.

On Tuesday morning last V. B.
Thomas, who has charge OF S. NJ. Brann e

from town. up Tongue river, he saw in
the bed of the river three big grey
wolves in the act Of killing calf He
then turned back with the intention OF
securing rifle. but the only gun in the
locality was a shotgun. which he carried
back to the scene Of the killing. and
creeping right over the wolves, turned
one barrel into the first two wolves, who
in company with the third. made good
their escape. without being damaged to
such an extent that they could not travel
before a second load could be discharg
ed On returning home in the evening
Mr.. Thomas came by the place where he
he had seen the wolves in the morning.
and much TO his surprise. he discovered
that they had returned some time dur
ing the day and had eaten everything
palatable about the carcass. and again
quit the fiat. The calf was the property
OF 5. NJ. Brann. and was one of the
bunch of cattle to have been gathered
that day. The I PrRSaL is of the opin-
