FRENCH JOURNALS.

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. \ 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 i'll 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 Ii paper
contains IA striking article, we'll adver-
tised previously, or if its fouilleton con-
tinued story or memoirs, which most Of
the French Journals consider an essen
tial part of their daily issue, Is by some
well known author the circulation will
run up $4,000 or 100, 600 i'll week
and drop again as soon as the special
feature is discontinued. When lie Jour
began publishing M. Henri Rochcfort' S
memoirs, its circulation went up five
fold, although the price 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.

If you didn't get any rib
bonS last week the loss was
yours. There are some left

others, but the difference is
in the colorS.
We have a big stock of

Everything depends on that.

This week we are making
a run on infants and chill

can get ideas from looking
at these, even if they do not
buy, but it is doubtful if
they can be made at home as
cheaply as we sell them.

DANGEROUS Drunkard.

On complaint of his wife last night
Ku, native, was arrested for drunk
enness and taken to the police sta
ton The wife and child came tum-
bling after. When the clerks desk
at police station was reached, Ku be-
came demonstrative and began cursing
his wife for the indignity he had gone
through with by being arrested. This
did not seem to relieve his mind, so he
grabbed his little daughter by the hair
and would have done her some injury
had not Turnkey Faggaroos stepped in
and forcibly wrenched his hand from
the child.

day morning on the American Line steamship
Paris. He went 10 the jefferson Hotel. In East
Fifteenth-st. where he spent last night, intending
to proceed to Washington this morning. Mr. Ter
rell proved to be elusive quantity. II was Diff
cult to find him. and when he was found II was
still more difficult to extract from him any COM
ment upon the Turkish situation.
Can you give US some details about the present
situation in Turkey" asked the reporter.
Il used to be reporter myself" was Mr.. rerrslrs
somewhat irrelevant reply. How are the boys get
ting along nowadays? Then the reporter said the
boys doing very badly indeed in the present
case. and tried again for information
do you think the Powers will force Turkey
evacuate Thessaly?" he asked. To this the
Minister responded. Now. look here. young man.

talk about the newspaper business. why / m at your
service.
The reporter dsclaimed any desire to talk shop
but he said he did want % know what Mr. Terrell
thought the Powers would do with the sultan, 10
which Mr.. Terrell responded with a jovill anecdos
about the days when he reporter. just as
the reporter was on the point OF asking whether the
Armenian atrocities were still going on, the elevator
descended to the office floor. and the exMiniser ex.
cused himself with the remark that he was In Q

BIOLOGY AT Bermuda.

There is no more conspicuous characteristic
Of intellectual activity in the present age than
the study Of biology. II cannot tell you," said
Goethe, speaking of beauty, what it IS; but !
can show it to you" Men cannot yet tell us,
scientifically, what life is, but they can show It
to us in uncOunted manifestations, and they can
tell US vastly more about It's energies and hab
its than ever before That is the sum and sub
stance Of the lifework Of Darwin and Pasteur,
Of Huxley and Haeckel, and all their cOmpeers
One confessed that the deceptive bathyblus was
not, after all, the primOrdal essence of life.
Another demonstrated that spontaneous genera
tlon was a myth They have shown that 4
certain unity or continuity, of Nature runs
through all forms of life, from the ascdan to
the ape, from the molusk to the man. They
have shown how life Is reproduced and dcvel-
oped, how 1t acts, and how it wanes. But of
answer to the question what life is. they can
give no more today than the Preacher of centu-
rIcs ago, who vainly inquired who could dis
tinguish between the spirit Of man that ascend
eth and that of the brute that descendeth.
But whether or not the seemingly insoube
problem ever shall he solved. there can he no
doubt Of the vast profit, both theoretical and
practical, TO be gained through the study Of
biology. Every such enterprise as that under
taken this year hy Ncw-York University Is
therefore TO be most heartily commended 1t
has already been made known that the Univer-
sity AT the instance and under the patronage of
its alumni, sent TO Bermuda this year an ex-
pediton under the capable direction Of Profes-
sOr Bristol for biological reconnaissance and
study. That expedition returns home to-day

and dead, secured by til, expedition. nearly one
half are of new species or varieties. hitherto

is quite conceivable. as Representative Payne or
this State-one Of those who labored most dill
gently In framing the measure-said In his
speech on the bill. that the provision regarding
sugar may within a few years be found to have
developed In this country an industry more val
liable TO the farmers and the Nation, many
times over. than all the profits any combina-
ton can temporarily reap from 1t. This, at
least. has been the consistent and steady pur-
nose of its trainers, The Tribune believes, not
less IN the Senate than in the House. TO make
certain and swift that growth Of home indus
tries which will not only insure to the Govern
ment an ample revenue, and to American work
ers fair wages for years to come. but to all
Americans the utmost attalnable freedom from
dependence upon any combinations whatever
This ought 10 be the end. for decade or a
generation Of serious attempts to overthrow the
policy Of American industrial independence. IT'S
declaration was in 1890, and seven years OF
struggle have brought its peaceful recognition.
Unlike other tariffs. this one Of 1897 has the d.
rect aid of Democrats 10 insure lts passage anu
the final vote by no means dsclOses the measure
of support at critical points which 1t has received
from Senator's additionally hostile to the Pro-
tectiye policy but forced by the logic Of events
to desire its restoration and firm establishment.
The better days which are dawning will not
make it easier to overthrow in coming years the
system which gave matchess prosperity in 1892,
and after Democratic disasters, will restore 1t.
The party which organizes for warfare against
that system before the memory OF the years
1926 has died from the minds Of men will
organize for defeat.
