HIGHER DUTY ON PORK.
French Chamber Passes a Bill Rails
ing the Rates.

Paris, Dec 21.-The debate on the
bill increasing the customs duties on
pigs, pig products and lard, was opened
in the chamber of deputies today, NJ.
Charles Crust, Republican, opposing
the measure.
He said he did not think it would
fulfill the expectation of the agricul-
turists and would cost the consumers
60, 1000, 900 francs annually.
NJ. Georges Graux, Republican, sup
ported the bill. He said that France
had imported hogs and pork products
valued at 10000 900 francs, while her
exports did not exceed 5000, 600 francs.
NJ. Meline remarked that the govern
ment was preparing another bill deal
ing with the adulteratiOn of pork pro-
ducts.
The statement was received with ap-
plause.
NJ DIeIine declared that the govern
ment was alone with the United States
on the question of bimetallism.
The bill was eventually adopted by
a vote of 41S to 81. It fixes the duty on
hogs at u francs, on sucking pigs at 3
francs. on hog products at so francs,
and on lard at 35 francs per 100 kilOs.

young; only thirty-fiVe years old. With
the rashness of youth. the professor is

shall wear These young women all be-

pleases them and are of a mind that their
hosiery does not concern the learned pro-
fessOr in the remOtest degree
Never was such a thing heard of since
the world began Indignantly exclaimed
one OF these charming scholars today.
Even Adam, her husband. did not say
to Eve, My dear, you must not wear
flesh-colored stockings
The other day a young woman rode to
the high school on her bicycle She wore
a jaunty cap, a jacket that well set off
her slender figure and skirt most mod
est But she wore q pair OF bicycle
stockings. variegated prismatic. in which
glowed all the colors of the rainbow and
some others.
1t is undeniably true that these stock
ingS were loud. but they could not drown
the chatter of half q hundred other young
women when their eyes were first daZZled
by them Prof ROrer walked down to
fhe class room TO learn what caused an
the noise and laughter He saw the BIZ
cycle stockings and winked like a man
