A FRENCH BABY.
Legal Tormalities on tho Birth Of a
Possible Soldier


Possible Soldier.
The birth Of new citizen In France
at once gives rise to countless formali-
ties and an avalanche of legal serib-
blings, which would teach him, could
he but understand, that his country is
par excellence the home OF legal cere-
mony and administration, says the
Century. Within the first twenty-fouI
hours notice of the birth must be sent
to the mayors Office there is such an
office in every village in Franco, so
that the official physician may call and
make the necessary legal statement.
I suppose he wants to convince himself
that the declaration already made is
correct, and that the family. when it
announced the birth of a girl, was not
trying to screen future soldier from
his compulsory service. Then the
father, accompanied by two witnesses,
gives his child its legitimate, docu-
mented position, to which he or she
will be obliged to have recourse in all
the great, and frequently in the minor,
circumstances Of life, from one end of
it to the other. Without 1t the child
could not enter school, nor draw lots
on entering the army, nor get married,
nor he buried. The least mistake OF
form would have most serious conse-
quences; the baptismal names declared
must always be placed in tie same
order on all future deeds These are
usually saints names. / recall the
amusing anger Of a young American
father OF my acquaintance who wished
to give his son born in Paris the name
of the great sailor Duquesne, in re-
membrance Of the avenue where the
baby had seen the light Of day, and
in addition, the family name Of one OF
his friends, which no Frenchman
could pronounce. All this seemed SC
shocking and homogeneous to the regis
trar that the certificate was made out
only after interminable discussion.

alarm, and when, about an hour before
dark. a punla-now her ret Damon
appeared and squatted down in the
grass close beside her, she gave herself
zip for lost The east, however; did
not seem to notice her, and her courage
revived. She remembered that the
being, and che began to hope that the
creature would SO away.
After awhile the puma became rest
less frequently going away and return
ing, aud finally it stayed away so long
that she thought it had left her for
good About midnight she heard the
deep roar of jaguar, and abandoned
all hope for the South American tiger
is mans deadly foe.
"By raising herself en- her elbow, she
was able to see the outline of the jaguar
crouching near her, but its face was
turned from her, and it appeared to
be intently watching some object upon
which it was about to spring. Pres
entity it crept out of sight, and there
followed deep silence, broken sud
denly by frightful yells and screams OF
pain, coupled with the fierce eTowls
and snarls of the puma, and the sounds
of desperate conflict.
The puma and the jaSuar are sworn
enemies, and the two great beasts were
/ having battle TO the finish. The bat
Tie lasted for some time, but near
morning the puma, sorely wounded,
! crept through the grass and crouched
down beside my daughter, purring like
/ q cat. The creature seemed so friend

the head OF the brute, but Ethel begged
us not TO shoot, and from that. day to
this the two have been lnseparable."
