Strange French Laws,


A trial has just taken place at Paris
which may serve as a warning to
American tourists visiting France.
A well to do man OF perfectly clean
record and good social position named
Froment Adelot has been sentenced to
two months Imprisonment for wear

his coat, the tiny bow Of red ribbon
usually worn by the knights of the
French Legion of Honor.

any of the shops devoted to the sale Of

American tourists who, seeing a num-

Of red ribbon in their buttonholes, did

This, however, entails heavy penal
ties, and it is punished by the authori-

The Curious CassOwary,

Every explorer who visits the Aus
tralasian islands discovers a new kind
Of cassowary. None Of these birds
possesses any wings to speak Of, and
their bodies are clothed with dense
masses Of curious, hairlike feathers.
According to a recent traveller, these
feathers are put to very remarkable
use.
When a cassowary feels hungry
the legend runs-t wades out into q
stream until only its head and neck are
above water and spreads out its long
plumes on either side Numbers Of un-
sophisticated little fishes Immediately
mistake these for new kind Of water

motionless cassowary for shelter.
Then that artful bird suddenly
presses his feathers close against his
body, walks ashore and shakes out his
prisoners on the bank: 80 that be not
