In no history of British journalism or
account of William Dugard do | find
any mention of his publishing in Lon
don a weekly French newspaper entitled
Nouvelles Ordinaires de Londres, yet
this is surely the most singular incident
in his checkered career. The National
library at Paris possesses two quarto
volumes of this newspaper, extending
from July IL, 1860, to Jan. IA, 1868.
These We're presented to the Minim
monastery, Place Royale, which in
1914, shortly after its foundation, had
library of 5000 volumes, one of the
best in Paris. By 1890, when it was dis
persed, it had increased to $1,000 vol
umes. The two quartos were, with
many other books, the gift of Partisan
named Descombes, of whom nothing is
known. They found their way at the
revolution into the library of the tribu-
nate, a body which was abolished in
1907, and they then passed to the Inn
perial (now National) library.
Descombes was apparently a subscrib-
er to Dugard's paper and had it bound
in 200 numbers at time. 1t would be
interesting to know how a London news
paper then reached foreign subscribers
for it must be presumed that most of
these subscribers were foreigners, though
the paper was sold by Nicolas Bourne at
the South Gate, Old Change; Francis
Tyton, at the Three Daggers. near Tenn
! pie Gate, and Mary Constable, at the
Key, Westminster hall. Its four pages
contain mostly English news, but there
are short paragraphs of continental
events. Notes and Queries

Ripans
TabuleS

Mr.. L. A. Rocher is a farmer re-
siding about three miles out of
Colon, n. C. His home is some
what in the back woods. In an
interview with Mr.. S. L. Godfrey,
correspondent of the Telegram
and Sunday Times, Mr.. Rocher
on the 18th of June, 1895, said:
81 am 81 years of age, and until
I was nigh onto fifty years old,
1 was always well and peart,
then for long while and until
last February, suffered with
indigestion and could not eat
anything hardly at all. My
daughter, who lives in the city,
sent me some of Ripans Tabules,
told me how to take them, and
and they have completely cured
me. Ny wife is now troubled
with the same complaint, and
has written daughter to send
some more of Mr.. Ripan's med
icine. I want you to tell every
body how l got cured, for it is a

1t is not reassuring to those who

Mica Regions.

An interesting geological fact is that
the wild and apparently worthless
mountain region around Bakersville,
western North Carolina, is the main
source of mica supply for the, United
States. Mica mining is one of the great
est industries in North Carolina and has
yielded fortunes to those Engaged in it.
Mica is found in all sorts of blocks of
various thicknesses and shapes and can
be split and resplit almost ad infnitum,
or until it becomes the thin, transpar-
ent, flexible wafer of commerce. The
material is by nature imbedded in or
scattered through the feldspar in masses
large or small, close together or far
apart, and is blasted from the rocks by
means of dynamite, the purer veins be-
ing found between walls of slate. From
the mines it is taken to the shops, where
it is split into thin sheets, trimmed into
regular forms and made ready for the
market, the price varying with the size
and color of the sheets The average
size is about by 6, though rare sheets
of "a by IS inches are sometimes found.
Occasionally mine is found where the
mica is too much scattered in the bed
rock to make its operation profitable,
but it is said that the expert mountain
eer can determine its value by the indi-
cations.
