An Expensive French Soldier.

It is open to question whether France
has had her moneys worth out OF Pr
yate Petit, who was recently serving IN
the One Hundred and Fifty-eighth IN
fantry regiment at Lyons. Petit was
born in the republic of Paraguay, OF
French parents, who neglected to make
the necessary declaration at the consul
ate. Ignorant of this, he came to France
and was promptly arrested as a deserter
and sentenced to term of imprison-
, ment. When this was over, he did his
three years service, at the expiration
of which he demanded, in accordance
with the law, his expenses for his jour-
ney home. Attempts were made to per-
suade him that France was a more de-
sirable country to reside in than Para
quay, but he refused to be convinced
and insisted on the sum to which he
was entitled being paid him. Expenses
being allowed at the rate of SO much
per kilometer, Petit's little bill came
to 4,l25 francs. 1t may be doubted If
his services to his country were worth
this amount. Paris Letter.

Fashions In Baths.

The oft debated question whether the
present generation carries personal
cleanliness to greater length than the
preceding generation did had a curious
light thrown upon it at the recent Tin
Plate Workers conference. One VOL
verhampton manufacturer stated that
not quarter as many portable baths
were made now as formerly, and an
other referred to the fact of orders for
200 shower baths having been taken by
traveller in one journey at some past
period, while he supposed that at the
present time manufacturer did not
sell three shower baths in year. From
this it would seem that the shower bath
is obsolete and that the fixed bath has
merely superseded the portable one. 1t
would appear, therefore, that the verdict
should rather be that fashion in baths
has changed than that cleanliness came
in with the prevalence of the fixed BATH

JAG WORSE THAN WOUNDS.
Philippine Hero Who Doesn't Mind
Shattered Head.

San Francisco, Aug. mo return
ing soldier from the Philippines was
more shot up in the face and lived TO
tell about it than was Private John
Murphy, of the South Dakota regi-
ment. Murphy was wounded in the
left side of the jaw at the battle of
Calumpit. The ball tore through his
mouth, cutting off a piece of his tongue,
knocking out several teeth and break
ing the jaw. With thirty or forty other
wounded men, he was rushed to Ma
Mia by train and put on board the hos
pitaI ship Relief, which arrived in this
port yesterday.
Lieut. W. F. Reid, of the medical
corps, picked out Murphy as the worst
case among the wounded and had him
placed on the operating table. 1t seem
ed then that every moment would be
the soldiers last, but he was kept alive
with drugs while a most difficult and
delicate operation was performed on
him.
At 4 o'clock on the following morn
ing Murphy wavered between life and
death, but the crisis was passed. The
soldier felt so well when the ship
reached Nagasaki that he slid down the
rope over the vessels side and had a
hilarious time in town that night.
When he returned to the ship he was
put under arrest and then tried by
summary court.
He was sentenced to ten days in bed
an his nightgown, and to be kept on
light diet.
Il did not mind the shot so much"
said Murphy joyfully today, but that
night in Nagasaki nearly killed me"
Poor Murphy has lost the vision Of
his right eye. He says that If he can
get a good dentist at his teeth he will
be all right.

and three ambulances and police
wagon were hurried to the scene, and
the injured were taken to Bridgeport
general hospital. morgue was inn

hall at Stratford and in very short

awaiting identification.
The accident was witnessed by Miss
Frances Peck, who resides about 400
feet from the bridge. She was upstairs
at her home as the car was passing,
and she says that it was running at an
