THE BANK OF FRANCE.
Discussion That Will Arise on tho Oues.
ton of Renewing tho Charter.

ton of Renewing the Charter.
The subject of renewing the priv
ileges of the Bank of France will short
ly come up for discussion in the cham
Der, after having been in allegiance
since 1892, when the senate approved a
bill for the purpose.
That bill, says the Edinburgh Scots
man, has not since been modified, and
the provisions included in it will, it is
thought, be adopted without material
alteration. One of them, which was
to empower the bank to increase it's
note issue from 3,5O0,0O0,OOOf. to A.
O0O,O00,000f., was passed as far back
as 1893. The charter expires on DE-
cember 81, 1895, and the proposal is to
extend it for a further period of 20
years from that date, i'm consideration
of the bank making certain concessions
to the state.
Among these concessions is one by
which the bank is to forego all future
interest on the government debt,
amounting to 14O,OOO,O0Of., and not
to demand repayment of the capital SO
long as the charter is in force. The
bank is to undertake the service of the
national debt and transact other bust
ness for the treasury, both at the head
Office and branches, free of charge, and
make an annual payment to the latter
of 2,000,000f. during the first year
of the currency of the new charter,
and 2,500,000f. per annum subsequent
ly. 1t is to open several new branches.
and make advances to agricultural CO.
operative societies.
1t is not improbable that an effort
will be made to convert the bank into
state institution, but such a project
does not command support either In
financial or ministerial circles, and is
not in the least degree likely to meet
with SUCCESS.

AFRAID OF HIS OWN GUNS.
Why the Sultan of Turkey Does Not Want
Q Navy.

Why the Sultan of Turkey Does Not Want
Navy.
The incident which led to the order
for the extinction of the Turkish navy
was as follows, says the Pittsburgh
Dispatch. A transport was bringing a
number Of time-expired men home,
when they respectfully mutinied, and
begged their officers to go below, as
they wished to do something which
might not be approved of. Some nom
commissioned officers then took COM
mand, and anchored off the'palace, and,
after firing a salute, began shouting:
"Long live the sultan!"
This demonstration caused immedi-
ate confusion at the palace, and various
high officers were dispatched to parley
with the mutineers, but they insisted
On seeing the minister, and when he at
last appeared they said they knew the
sultan had given the money to pay
them, but they had not received it, and
they would not bulge until they did.
No arguments were of any avail, and
the money had to be sent for and dis
tributed, after which the men weighed
anchor with a cheer, and gave up the
ship again. The sultan, however, re-
fected that what transport had done
peaceably heavily armed man-of-war
might do with evil intent, and, calling
Hassan Pasha to him, he declared that
he wanted no more navy.

CHINESE EAT NOTHING GOLD.
Their Greatest Delicacy Is Said to Be
Live

Their Greatest Delicacy Is Said to Be
Live Shrimps.
The Chinese esteem shrimps above all
other things, says Pearson's Weekly.
AT well-served table they are brought
On swimming about in glass bowl of
water favored with oil and vinegar,
Which renders the creatures hysteri-
cally alive. With an unerring thumb
and forefnger the Chinese diner-out
plucks forth the struggling fish, nips
off the tail at one bite, and casts the
useless head behind him.
Shocking as it may seem to an Eng
lish housekeeper, the older the egg in
China, the more perfect from an cpl
curean standpoint does it become, for
no Chinaman who has right regard for
his palate eats fresh boiled egg.
Taken fresh. eggs are sent to soak, after
having been washed in a tub of aromat-
ic water After a time they are re-
moved, and the water used in mixing u
paste of lime and salt, in which the
eggs are packed in jars. These are
Theoretically sealed and set aside to
stand for month, when they are sup
posed to be fit for eating. Those left
packed in salt and lime for 12 months
or more, when opened, are found to
have changed color, solicited partly
and are odoress.
The chief care of the Chinese is to
eat nothing cold. Warm or hot food
they absorb in abundance, but rightly
they maintain that cold food lowers the
temperature of the stomach beyond the
point where digestion can continue, and
so the whole health of the body is en-
danUered

FREAKS OF STUDENTS.
Promenade without Hats and Walk UpOI
tho Wet Grass Barefoot.

tho Wet Grass Barefoot.
The Yale students have adopted a
new/fad this year. 1t is promenading
up and down Chapel street and about
the different New Haven thoroughfares
without hats or head covering of any
kind. 1t is the upper class men and So
ciety men chiefly who are making them
selves thus conspicuous.
1t is a common occurrence on pleas
ant morning to meet five or six men
walking together through the shop
ping district of the town, to all appear
Snces perfectly unconscious that they
are attracting attention. Last year the
students, with the first blush of sum-
mer, conceived the idea of wearing
tremendous farmerlike straw hats. 1t
became such a fad that the shopkeep-
ers had special supply sent to them
from the manufacturers. They were
hats of the kind usually kept by the
country grocer, and until the students
took them up were never found in the
swell shops.
Another recently adopted fad of this
season among the students is that of
taking off their shoes and stockings
after a rain storm, and, with their
trousers turned up above the enlkles,
wading about in the grass back of the
churches on the preen in the center OF
the town.

UnspeakabIy Dull for the Average Youth

Life in Guatemala City to a foreigner,
and especially a young man, says the
New Orleans Times possesses
about as much attractiveness from a
standpoint of amusement as would a
residence in a graveyard. There is alb
solutely nothing to do except work,
sleep and eat. The only place man
has to go when he has finished work is
to saloon, and there he has nothing to
do for recreation but drink. The door
to the best society is shut in the face of
Observation-Disclosures as they are
called by the naughty dons-no matter
what their standing. Of course, when
one has official dignity he is invited to
the presidents ball and other official
functions. and has entree into society,
but there is no such thing as social in
tercourse in it's American sense. No
body is allowed to see young lady u1i-
less it is in the presence of her entire
