OLA Features Of French Elections

There are some curious features con.
nectcd with French parliamentary cleo.
tons For lnstincc no wall literature
issued by O candidate or his friends
may be printed on white paper white
being the color reserved for official an.
nouncements. In the days of the em-
pire. when official candidates were
known In the land. the addresses Of
the governments nominees were print
ed on white paper and this no doubt
had due weight with the more Ignorant
voters, Again. any elector whose name
Is mentioned In newspaper can, II he
feel himself aggrieved. call upon the
editor TO publish a reply. This, how
ever. Is not confined TO elections. but
is right enjoyed by French citizens
under the law Of the country.

Threats with their fore feet but this Is
only an old wlfe's fable. Whether wild
or tame, they are all good swimmers,
though, owing 10 the shortness OF their
legs, they Just touch their threats with
their fore feet and beat the water very
high. Many Of the Islands Of the south
ern seas are now Inhabited by wild
pigs. which are the descendants Of
those which have swum ashore, some
times great distances, from wrecked

II has often been remarked that
while nothing Is 80 uncertain as the du-
ration OF any given human life nothing
Is more certain than the aggregate Of
years which may be assigned 10 a
group X 100 persons or more at any
particuN age. The expectation Of life
at a gltn age 70 use the actuarial
phrase. differs considerably. as might
be- expected. IN different countries and
Encllshmen may be surprised TO learn
that they are not the longest living
among the white races.
Al the age Of - an Engllshman In
average health may expect 20 live ~
years. and any life office will grant him
n policy based on that probability. The
Americans expectation is for n slightly
longer period. on the other hand. a
German lad u 20 can count upon little
more than 30 years and a half.
II would seem. therefore. that the
restlcssness attributed 10 the American
I temperament does not necessarily con-
/ duce 10 the shortening OF life nor the
I CniiilnHuIf ui iuf bfIlNuu 10 lNh pFo-
longntlon. Possibly the better feeding
aud clothing Of Americans In the lower
classes Of the population are the princi-
pal causes Of their greater longevity.
Their position is. at any rate. main.
talncd in later as well as In earlier
years
The American who has reached 90
may look TO complete u years more,
while the Brltlsher's expectation Is on
ly about ~ years aud ~ months aud
the Germans rs nearly as possible ~
months less. Both Mt 30 aud NJ % the
Frcnchman's prospect Is q little better
than the Germans and little worse

EconomIcnI rrnluiug Of Gunurrs.

Ecounmtrni training OF hunnerNs
The method used la the United States
navy f0r the economical trimming u the
gunnow * very interesting II Is a
we'll known fact that the cost ~ firing
one Of the large guns used In the navy
IN very great amounting sometimes TO
$1,000 or more. To save this expense
n very simple method Is employed. In
the case of the large guns an ordinary
Remington rifle is secured lu the brccch
Of the gun and directly In the center
Of the bore. M that when IL Is fired lis
bullet takes the same direction as that
Of the regular proicctile. The large
gun Is sighted in the usual manner.
ON account Of the lesser velocity Of the
small bullet the target Is placed close
to the ship and Is made corresponding
ly small.
The method used for the q FOUNDER
or other small guns Is slightly differ.
ent rs instead Of the small rifle a
wooden or dummy cartridge the same
size as the regular cartridge Is en-
ployed Through the center Of this
wooden cartridge runs n rifle barrel
which Is loaded with - callber car
fridge. This latter method has the ad.
dltIonal advantage of giving the gun
