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 ing, without right, in the buttonhOle of his coat, the tiny bow of red ribbon usually worn by the knights of the French Legion of Honor.
 You can buy them for a few cents in any of the shops devoted to the sale of insignia of European orders, and l have known of not a few English and American tourists who, seeing num- Der of people wearing these little bows of red ribbon in their buttonhOleS, did likewise.
 This, however, entails heavy penal ties, and it is punished by the authori ties as the illegal wearing of the in signia of the national orders.
 It must be thoroughly understood that even supposing any American be longs to some patriotic or other society here in the United States. the insignia of which comprises a bow or button of red ribbon worn in the buttOnhOle, he cannot wear 1t in France without risk iDp iail -NVa Shine-ton Poet

Wanted to See That Foot.

On the principle that to some persons even old stories are new, this one, of the royal princelings of England, is given in MT. G. w. E. Russell s recent book, "CollectiCns and Recollections:"
 An English gentleman who had de formed foot was going to visit the queen at Osborne, and before his arrival the queen and Prince Albert debated whether it would be we'll to warn the Prince of Wales and the princess royal of his physical peculiarity, so as to avoid their making embarrassing re- marks, or to leave it to their own good feeling.
 The latter course was adopted. Lord - duly arrived. The foot elicited no remark from the royal children. and the visit passed off with success. Next day the princess royal asked the queen:
 "Where is Lord -"
 "He has gone back to London, dear. "

A Lesson In Usury.

Peter Cooper, the great philaDth
ropist Of New York, was one of the
most successful, careful, and prudent
business men OF his time. He was
strongly opposed to the methods Of
many merchants who launched out IN
to extravsgRnt enterprises on borrow
cd money, for which they paid exOr'
bitsnt rates of interest. The follow
ing anecdote illustrates the point very
orclbly:
Once, while talking about q project
with an acquaintance, the latter sNo
he would have to borrow the money
for six months, paying interest at the
rate Of three per cent per month.
why do you borrow for 60 short 8

"Are you in earnestP asked the

Certainly am. l will discount
your note for $4,000 for three years
at that rate. Will you do III"
"Of course will" said the mer
chant.
"Very we'll" said Mr.. Cooper
"Just sign this note for $4,000, pay

check for $500, and the transaction
will be complete"
But where is the money for me"

HISS AND SPIT AT FOES.
Cats Of All Species Intuitively Repcl
Their Enemies by Display
uf FerOcity.

Everybody has seen cat hump its
back and hiss and spit at dog. Even
the youngest kitten instinctively rec
ognizes an enemy and makes showing
of defiance at its approach. This bluff
at intimidation is general among the
species. 1t is curious and remarkable
fact that many different kinds of crea-
lures which have their homes in shall
low holes have similar habit of spit
ting when an enemy approaches. Fur
thermore, it is probable that the ex-
preston of cat at bay is part of the
same instructive stratagem. We know
how general is the horror of the serpent
tribe throughout all nature, and hence
it seems likely that the serpent-lille as
pect of the head of an enraged cat, to-
gether with its threatening hiss, might
disconcert an enemy sufficiently to give
an advantage to the cat.
Curiously enough, cats of all species
have their tails marked transversely
in way which resembles the marking
of serpents, and several naturalists have
remarked how similar are the sinuous,
waving movements of the tail of an
angry cat to the movements of the tail
of a snake in state of excitement. The
true tabby cat, when it is curled up
asleep, has curious resemblance to a
coiled serpent, and the same is true of
many wild cats of different varieties
and coming from different parts of the
world.
If this really is an instance of pro-
tective mimicry it is possible that the
chief foe guarded against was the eagle.
Eagles are very fond of cats flesh, and
it has been remarked by naturalists in
various parts of the world that these
formidable birds habitually make war
upon the smaller creatures of the kind.

CENSUS OF DAIRY PRODUCTS
How Correct Mattsttcs OF Farm ana
Factory Hairy Products May
H.. Secured.

Washington, Get. l6. - The law re-
quires the statistics for the twelfth
census of dairy products farm and
factory to be taken on separate sched-
ules. The Division of Agriculture will
take the amounts of milk and cream
produced and sold, and the amount of
money received from their sales; also the
| quantity and value ofall The butter and
cheese made OIL the farm. On the manu-
features schedule will be taken the guam
tity of butter and cheese made in fac
tories, cooperative and otherwise, to-
gether with the quantity and cost OF
raw materials (lnilk and cream) cost of
labor, capital invested. character and
value of plant and machinery, ETC., etc.
After the two forms of schedules shall
have been returned to the census Of
flee in Washington, the like statistics OF
dairy products OH each will be CONSOLE
dated, and thus show, what never here
tofore has been shown, the total yield
of milk in the United States and the
amounts and values of its several prod
ucts. This assertion is based on the as
sumption that the farmers shall fur
nish to the enumerators, fully and ac-
curately, the information which the
schedules may call for.
In some sections the records of cheese
factory and creamery operations for
the current year are destroyed, agree
ably to previous vote Of directors or
patrons. For 1899 they should vote, in
stead, to have prepared and preserved,
for the use of the census enumerators,
who will appear on June l, 1900, the
statistics which the law says shall be
gathered. In many eases a failure to
do this will prevent the enumerators
from securing any returns, becausen new
managers, or new secretaries, or new
boards of control may be in charge on
June I, 1900, who will know nothing of
the factory statistics of 1S99-and the
figures for 1899 are the ones the law says
shall be taken.
Farmers who keep no records of their
transactions will find themselves in the
same dilemma, on the arrival of the cen-
sus enumerator, as factory which de-
stroys it's records. Therefore, Chief
Statistician Powers is appealing to all
of them to prepare in writing, while the
necessary facts are fresh in mind, such
a statement of milk, cream, butter and
cheese products as will enable them to
reply promptly and accurately to the
inquiries which the law says the EMU
merators must take. If they shall fail
to do this, the statistics Of dairy prod
ucts in their county will be incomplete,
and will compare unfavorably with
those of counties wherein the returns
are more accurate.
