HOW FRENCH DEPUTIES VOTE.
Need Not De Present and Can Vote for
Each Other.

Each Other.
Absenteeism in the chamber of dep
uties is becoming a more and more seri-
GUS evil, and it Is hard to say whether
the French system of voting by proxy
does not rather increase it than mini
mize 1t, says the London News. The
members are in the Palais Bourbon, but
they are in the lobbies, the library, the
committee rooms, the barrooms, drink
ing free glasses of beer. Before leaving
the chamber they tell colleague: "If
anything happens, you may vote In my
stead" In writing for English papers
we may talk of the chamber of depu-
ties dividing on bill. This is but con-
venient Interpretation of what takes
place. Deputies do not divide, but vote
in ordinary matters by a show of
hands; and, when the result of this test
is challenged by ballot vote, each
member has in his desk jacks of blue
and white cards bearing his name. The
latter color means AYE" and blue NO"
To vote by proxy member simply puts
his friends card in the box along with
his own. 4 member will sometimes
vote of his own accord for a colleague
whom he misses. Sometimes three OF
four will each 60 and vote for the same
person. Among the good stories of
the chamber of deputies 1t is related
that on several occasions the number
of votes recorded was greater than q
full house. Mistaken votes are daily
occurrence, owing to members opin-
ions on bill being misunderstood by a
colleague. In that case the person who
has been made to vote wrongly drops a
line to the president, and notification
is sent to the journal offlciel.

japanese journalism, says mission
ary's wife, is singular profession in
many of its features. There is prac-
tically no such thing as freedom of the
press in Japan. Whenever newspaper
publishes something unfriendly to the
government it is suppressed. and the
editor is sent to prison. The real editor
s never imprisoned, though. Every
newspaper has what the japanese call
; dummy editor" and his sole duty
is to go to Jail every time the paper is
suppressed for offending the mikado.
Then the real editor changes the name
of the paper. and keeps on publishing it.
Dummy editors spend most OF their
time In prison.

Sacrificed Their Whfakers,

1t will be remembered, says an ex
change, how, on the birth of q son and
heir to Prince Max of Bavaria, the
grenadiers of his regiment cut off their
mustaches to stuff pillow for the
royal infants head. History has just
repeated itself at the modest little town
of Ribeauville, in France, where the
captain of the local fire brigade recent
ly became happy father. With one
accord the brave tiremen sacrificed the
hirsute adornments which were their
glory to fill q velvet cushion, and this
unique gift was duly placed in the
baby's cradle, with diploma OF hon
orary membership of the corps.

Kings New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our home, as in
it we have a certain and sure cure for
coughs, colds, whoopng cough, etc."
1t is idle to experiment with other reme-
dies, even if they are urged on you as
just as good as DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry. They are not as good, because this
remedy has record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.
