Worst of ALL the young barrister once

This is computed, not by the amount of
money he may earn, but by the rent of the
apartment he occupies. The result Is that
there are hundreds of impecunious but
worthy young men who cannot meet the
charges. In France no career Is open to
them after they have wasted at least six
years in the study of law, excepting jour
nalism and politics. Forty per cent of the
present Chamber of Deputies are barristers
and that body in consequence is sometimes
alluded to as the Palais de Justice bur
lesquc.

There are nine chambers or tribunals, the
president of the first chamber being the

counselors. One of the maryels of the Pal
ace of Justice is the chamber in which these
Judges hold their sessions. 1t is an immense
room lined with delicate woodwork and
2ravsh blue hangngs The only furniture
consists of scores of magnificently carved
fauteuils. Behind the presidential armchair
in n gilt frame, is a picture of the cruel
flXion, a chef doeuvre Oh which volumes
have been written, which hung for close
upon two centuries in the grand chamber
without the name of its author ever having
been discovered.
The Court of Appeals in the Palace OF
Justice has also fine home. Its ceiling can
boast of some Of Bonnat's best paintings
surrounded by some admirable carvings.
Justice has indeed a beautiful home in
Paris, but unfortunately for suitors litiga-
tion is as expensive as the building is cost
ly This sort of thing is true of many other
countries, but not to the extent that it is
in France. Here, for example the total ex-

runs as high as $40 and more"

That part of the Atlantic which beats upon

water at this season in the world. Folks
who have dwelt for years in the jungles of

The question as to whether the holder Of

Pullman and Wagner car companies in the
negative. Both companies say that they
have no rule on the subject. and that the

the holder of the lower berth ticket. The
officials intimate that the thing to do Is for

The losses were found to be: Killed
2,246; wounded, 1909; missing, 1888; total
1866 The damage inflicted upon the
enemy is not known, but as he was the as
Saultng party as often as the union army,
there is reason to believe that the losses on
the two sides were about equal. Taking
twenty-four hours as the time actually oc-
cupied in fighting, and counting the casual
ties in both armies, 1t will be found that on
that bloody field every minute recorded the
loss of twenty-five men.
AS the staff officers threw themselves upon
the ground that night. sleep came to them
without coaxing. They had been on the move
since dawn, galloping over bad roads. strug-

promotion was especially gratifying for the
reason that it was conferred for conduct
In the first battle In which | had served
under the command of the general-in -chief
There were features of the battle which
have never been matched in the annals of
eran troops had struggled in a death grapple
confronted at each step with almost every
obstacle by which nature could bar their
path, and cropping their way through
tangled forest the impenetrable gloom of
which could be likened only to the shadow
OF death. The underground stayed their
progress. the uppergrowth shut out the light
of heaven. Officers could rarely see their
troops for any considerable distance, for
smoke clouded the vision, and heavy sky
obscured the sun. Directions were ascer-
tanned and lines established by means of
the pocket compass, and change of posi-
ton often presented an operation more like
a problem of ocean navigation than ques-
ton of military maneuvers. 1t was the
sense of sound and of touch rather than
the sense of sight which guided the move
ments. 1t was battle fought with the ear,
and not with the eye.
All circumstances seemed to combine to
make the scene one of unutterable horror
AT times the wind howled thrcugh the tree
tops, mingling its means with the groans
OF the dying, and heavy branches were cut
on by the fire of the artillery, and fell crash
ing upon the heads of the men adding a new
terror to battle. Forest fires ragged. am

place of earth.
