Child Clasped 20 HIS Breast

One Of the most pathetic episodes In
connection with the Dreyfus case was
the first meeting Of the prisoner with
his children. When he first met bis
children on the Saturday after his arr
rival at Carpentras, Alfred Dreyfus
stood outside the garden at the end Of
the carriage drive leading to the Vala-
hregue villa.

carriage which was bringing them,

whence they had arrived from Paris,
and ran toward their father. Pressing
them both in his arms. Dreyfus kept
them locked in long embrace. He
was overwhelmed with emotion and
unable to speak a single word. This
first interview with his children, after
five years separation. affected him so

France. have held the attention Of the
world during upward of four years.
Speaking to NJ. Jules Huret, the Figaro
correspondent, in the course Of that
memorable journey from Rennes 70
Carpentras, Dreyfus had said, in an
swer to a question as to his future
plans:

The Boston Herald says: "a man
was brought into the Springfe d
police court the other day charged
with neglecting to support his wife.
He pleaded guilty and was fined $40.
Thsreupcn his neglected wife stepped
M to the clerks desk and paid the
fine, which was promptly refunded to
her, under the provision OF the law
relative to non-support cases, which
provides for the payment of the
amount of the fine imposed on the
husband to the wife when the Court
so directs. The law appears to be
based on the right principle, but il
operates queerly sometimes, as in this

The presidential salute of twenty
one guns was adopted so that uni,
formity in national salutes might be
maintained, it being the same number
Of guns as the royal sllute OF Eng
land. The reason why twenty-one
should have been selected as the num-
Der Of guns has been asource Of search
and guess, with no satisfactory re-
suits. OF the many surmises the two
most often quoted are; First that
twenty one was the same number OF
years fixed by English law as the age
Of majority; second, that seven was
the original salute, and three times
seven would signify one seven for
each Of the divisions OF Great Britain,
England and Wales counting as one,
Scotland aud Ireland.
Someone asserts that the United
States adopted this salute to signify
TO the mother country that her child
had reached his majority, and was
prepared, in law. to inherit the land;
