FRENCH JOURNALS.
Shares of Several Bought and Sold Daily
on the Stock Exchange.

Shares of Several Bought and Sold Daily
on the Stock Exchange.
Most of the French journals have a
sale de depeches, where bulletins are
displayed and museum of relics of the
paper is kept French journalism is
much more personal in regard to its lit
erary composition than that of England
or America A large proportion Of the
articles are signed with the names Of
the writers, even when the work is
more or less Of routine nature, such
as the sporting or law departments Of
the paper. On the other hand, the own
ership of newspapers is less frequently
lodged in single hands than is the case
in America. Very many of the French
papers are owned by companies or asso-
Citations, while the stock of several Of
the best known. such as The Figaro and
Petit Journal, is bought and sold daily
on the Stock Exchange, the quotations
appearing as regularly as those of rail
way shares or Government bonds.
The circulation Of all but very few
of the Paris papers varies enormously,
according to the contents. If paper
contains striking article, we'll adver-
tised previously, or if its feuilleton, con-
tinued story or memoirs, which most Of
the French journals consider an essen
tial part of their daily issue, is by some
we'll known author, the circulation will
run up $4,000 or 100, 900 in a week
and drop again as soon as the special
feature is discontinued. When Le Jour
began publishing NJ. Henri Rochefort's
memoirs, its circulation went up FIVE
fold, although tho prico Of the paper
had been doubled in order to make hay
while the sun shone.
The French press is much more con-
centrated in the capital than that of
other European countries. In Germany,
for instance, it is not the press Of Berlin
that has the largest circulation or the
greatest influence. In this, as in many
other matters, however, the French
press only bears out the saying that
paris is France. "-Chautauquan

NEW PUNCTUATION MARK.

Badly Needed Invention Suggested by
the Caustic Copy Reader.
II shall be famous. I have an idea
that will send my name laundering
down through the ages" remarked the
copy reader
"Humph!" replied the humorist. "It
will be the first idea you have ever had.
You spend most Of your time destroying
the good ideas of Others"
well, that may be, although you
never have any idea to destroy, seeing
that you get those which you have from
Joe Miller's jokebook and the old al
manacs.
"Oh, well, let's have your ideav'
"To tell the truth, it was suggested
to me hv you"
"Ah! Thought as much, and yet you
say
Don't be in too big a hurry. You
haven't heard my idea"
"What is it?''
II have invented punctuation
mark for humor. 1t is intended to show
the reader where to laugh. In olden
times, you know, the point Of the joke
used to be printed in italics. Nowadays
there is no way to show the point, and,
as many Of the jokes, such as yours,
have no point, it is impossible to print
the point in italics. Now, Isuggest that
punctuation mark be placed at the be-
ginning and at the end of everything
supposed to be funny, so that the reader
may be prepared to laugh when he be-
gins to read and know when he has
reached the point and it is time to
laugh. would suggest that the mark
be two little squares placed above the
line, and l shall call it by my name.
What do you think Of that for an idea?
1t was suggested by your stuff, AS told
you"
But the humorist had given the copy
reader look of scorn and had vanished.

Not Always Understood.

A fact often overlooked, or not always
understood, is that women suffer as much
from distressing kidney and bladder
troubles as men. The womb is situated
back of and close to the bladder, and for
that reason any distress, disease or in
manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often
by mistake attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble OF some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided by setting urine aside
for twenty -four hours; sediment or
settling is evidence that your kidneys
and bladder need docloring. 1t you have
pain or dull achirg in the back, pass
water too frequently OF scantY supply,
with smarting or burning-these are also
convincing proof of kidneY trouble. It

New Pension Order Issued.

Washington, D. G. Dec. 27.-A
new order, the enforcement of which,
it is believed, will expedite the dis
position of pension claims now pend.
ing. has been issued by Commission.
er Evans of the Pension Office. It il
as follows:
thereafter claims for increase of
pension will not be considered with
in twelve months from the last action
allowance or rejection.
"The necessity for the new order"
said an official OF the pension bureau
to day, "grows largely out Of calls
made on the Office for a statement
of the status of pending cases by
members of Congress. These calls
have to be answered, to the exclusion
OF the other claims pending, which
should be taken up in their order.
It is only fair to those cases which
have not had any consideration that
they should be taken up as prompt.
ly as possible. The office does not
think that any injustice or hardship
will result to claimants by refusing
to consider their case after it has
once been acted on, for a period Of
twelve months. A pension allowed
on q new disability of such character
as to bring about serious resulte is
not likely to develop within that
period, while if the claims is reject
ed because of lack of disability the
claimant in all probability will not
become so disabled within the twelve
months as to make postpoaement
OF the case hardship The order
is absolutely necessary for the
prompt prosecution OF the work Of
the bureau, and its enforcement will
aid materially in bringing this
about

SHOOTING AT SPRINGFIELD.
Mrs.S. Smith Perhaps Fatally Wounded by
Hattie Brown.

Mrs.S. Smith Perhaps Fatally Wounded by
Hattie Brown.
North Springfield, Mo-, Dec. 90
Mrs. S. Smith was probably fatally
shot to day by Hattie Brown, The
two women were living in fat at
the corner of Boonville and Phelps
avenues. Hattie Brown had invited
her friend, Efie Fisher, to spend
the day with her. Vern Mcpherson
WHO is the son of respectable parents,
was also there. The Smith woman
lives with her husband on the same
floor. Hattie Brown and the Fisher
girl, together with Mcpherson, had
been disposing of keg of beer and
making considerable noise. Mrs.
Smith requested them to keep still,
whereupon Hattie Brown became en-
rageI aud accused her of trying to
get her lover, Mcpherson. away from
her. Some words were passed when
Smith appeared upon the scene and
during the quarrel which followed
Mcpherson struck Smith over the
head with a bottle, knocking him
down. Hattie Brown then drew q
revolver and shot the Smith woman
through the lungs, just below the
heart. The wounded woman is in
an unconscious condition and the
physician says she cannot live Nc.
Pherson and Hattie Brown have
been arrested and are now in Jail
awaiting the result of the shooting.
Mrs. Smith has always borne q
good reputation and apparently
committed no offsnse except to ask
the Brown woman to be quiet.

Saved Himself ErGm Death.

Joplin, No, Dsc. 25.-Lsst even.
ing Newt Hedges, a member Of the
firm of of Hedges & Co., who opsr.
ate large and successful mine on
the Mastin land near Galena had a
narrow escape from instant death.
The pump in the shaft at the mine
was out of repair. 1t was necessary
to remove a joint of the column pipe
about forty Zee. from the surface.
Mr.. Hedges got into the hoisting
tub and was lowered to the leaky
joint and was removing it when he
lost his balance and fell out.
In the shaft was also an inch crab
cable, holding the weight OF the
pump. Mr.. Hedges fell quite dis
tance and caught with one hand on
the crab cable, to which he elung
until the tub was lowered to him.
Hs still retained in one hand the
heavy chain tongs with which he
WAS working aud resumed work the
same as though nothing had happen
ed. The shaft is 1875 feet deep, and
if he had not miraculously caught
the crab cable a. be fell he would
have fallen nearly 100 feet.
