NO LOVE FOR GL.4 ND.

The French don't like England very well yet. A paper submitted to the French Chambers by M. Fernand Du- bief, the reporter of the Foreign Office estimates, shows this. M. Dubief does not expect any violation of European peace He remarks: Perhaps our all liance with Russia, whose interests are evidently opposed to those of England, especially in Asia, is not of nature to render easier our relations with Great Britain, whose jealousy is arous- ed by our colonial development: and to the risk of finding her in our path. But the conflicts which Anglophobe Frenchmen delight in anticipating have been happily arranged so far as we are concerned by the cleverness of our di
 plomacy, while England and Russia, convinced that it is tleir interest tu live on terms of peace, will manage to avert a war which, whatever it's issue, would serve no ones ends,' He will not dwell, he says, upon recent diffi- culties with England in West Africa, but regrets that the English diplomat ists have not displayed the same sense of justice and courtesy which has al ways been exhibited by the French "We cannot forget" he adds, land the patriotic Minister now at the Quai that if we have just grievances against

SNAIL RAGING.

Parisians have a new summer sport It is snail racing. While not quite SC exciting as horse racing. it has the ad- vantage of being enjoyed at the clubs cafes or any place without moving from ones chair.
 They began by organizing races be- tween snails, handioapping the feetest by putting weight on its back. Then they tried to find out how much weight a snail could carry, but as 1t was difi- cult to fasten weight on the animals back they harnessed a snail to little dolls carriage by means of a wire and strip of paper pasted to the she'll
 The result was surprising. The snail moved the carriage loaded with a weight of more than eight pounds.
 The next development of the new sport was a number of animals har- messed to the same vehicle. This ar- engagement did not work, for the ami mals would not pull together" and so their force was wasted. A woman sug- gested the use of India rubber bands for harness and this proved to be a great improvement. It was found that five or six healthy snails could draw twenty five pounds nearly a foot
 Most surprising result of all, small boys, weighing fifty pounds are used as jockeys seated in a baby carriage. Fourteen to twenty snails usually sue ceeded in drawing this load three inches over level asphalt road in quarter of an hour.-Tit-Bit

RUSSIAN FLOATING GARDENS.

The most extensive and productive farms of Russia lie along great water courses, which are being constantly deepened by dredging, and in rich agricultural country intersected every | where by rivers and canals it is not surprising that a novel method of pre- senting object lessons to the tillers of the soil has been evolved.
 The Russian educators, in casting about for the best means of economi- cally fulfilling their mission, decided to experiment. with immense floating gar dens hundreds of feet in length These great barges, built wide enough to give comfortable area for the laying out of a garden, are launched with the breaking up of the ice. As these experi- ment stations drift down stream to warmer climes, the seeds sprout, and grain grows and eventually ripens. On the deck of the great barge is an ex- tensive building, the residence of the professors of agriculture who have the station in charge and a smaller house for the crew.
 The size of these buildings, however, is dwarfed by the immensity of the barge. On it's great, broad deck, be- sides the vegetable and grain beds, are various working models of beehives for the government is bending every effort to revive this industry, once famous in Russia, when honey mead was the na- tional drink As the barge journeys with the current, it stops at every will lage The church bell is rung, and the people gather from the fields to be led by the starosta, or mayor, to the float ing farm. They are invited aboard where the various plants are explained to them. while illustrated lectures are sometimes given on the advantages of diversified farming.
 The questions of the peasants are in telligently answered, and seed is often left with the most enterprising for planting. So far, the barge experiment tai farms have proved the most efi-

THE ES1I MATES WILL S7AND.

The councilmen last night concurred with the aldermen, and so the estimates will stand as made by the Board of Finance. This is proper and encourag- ing. The Board made it's estimates carefully and without prejudice. It did not intend to cripple any department, and it did not intend to encourage ex- travagance. It's action pleased the peo- pie, who are glad to know that they are to have a reduction in the tax rate, and who believe that the way to econo- niize is to economize. It is fine to have things, but it is quite as fine to go with out things that can't be afforded. The new arrangement is, we are told, all ready having good effect on the de- pressed real estate and the equally de- pressed real estate owners of the city. New Haven was getting a reputation as poor place to live in on account of the taxes. The reduction of the taxes will give the city a better fame, and will give those who have to pay them some much needed relief It is possible that in the course of the coming year it may be found that the estimates do not exactly fit all the conditions, but the high taxes didn't do that. Let us live within our means during the next year. We may find it profitable and pleasant it.

ZOLA'S "REMINISCENCES OF HIS YOUTH

Some of my biographers, writing of my novel Mana, have said that l knew nothing of Paris vice until l made cer- tain inquiries before penning that book. with the object of exposing and de- social system. But they are quite mis- taken. By force of circumstances had elbowed and observed vice many a time in my early manhood, and living largely among impecunious students, l had known more than one grisette, and had even felt the touch of early, way ward love. It was that indeed, which helped me to write Les Contes Ninon.
 But I grew weary of Bohemia, the paWnshop and starvation; and at last, in 1S62 recommended by Dr. Boudet, an eminent scientist, I luckily entered Messrs. Hachette's house at the prince ly salary of 100 francs a month. At first. it is quite true, I simply tied up parcels there; but was soon promoted to the advertising department, in con- nection with which I had to deal with the reviews of the books which the firm published. Taine and Edmond About, Provost Parodal and other well known authors often came to me to ascertain what had been written about them in the newspapers; and we occasionally chatted together when they had read the cuttings" handed to them.
 But I was too timid to speak to them of my own literary aspirations, though I was now writing in real earnest. l spent all my evenings, indeed. in com posing short stories, one of them, La Fee Amoureuse," being published in an Ak newspaper, while others appeared little later in a review issued at Lille. Now that I had settled down, as it were, having very small regular in- come to rely upon, I had again taken my mother to live with me-for that was my first duty-and Baillie. as well as Cezanne having come to Paris with Roux and Valebregue, the poet-curl- ously enough related to the Dreyfus family--life became more pleasant for me, though during long years I was ever battling with pecuniary difficulties, striving to keep the little home, which gradually got together from the clutches of the process-servers and bailiffs-From "In the Days of My Youth" By Emile Zola, in the Decem- Der Bookman.

Buyers Attending From All
 Parts of the State.
The High Reputation of the Com pany and Its Unexcelled Stock Which is Being Sold at Great Price Reduction Brings Many Patrons.

The general sale which was begun by The George H. Ford company in their building, corner of State and Chapel streets, on Dec. 16, is at- tracting buyers from all parts of the state.
 The visits from customers are nu- merous and while many are taking advantage of the sale to purchase articles for general use, most minds seem bent at present on a Christi mas gift.
 Where else could one find more ideal place for a gift hunt than in the rooms of this magnificent house. The markets of Europe and Amer ica are represented at their best in the articles displayed, and owing to this sale, the price reduction, even on the rarest and most beautiful, is from 20 to 50 per cent.
 The many pretty things that de- light the hearts of women, delicate and exclusive designs in jewelry, watches and superb diamonds and precious stones set with correct taste are all in the magnetic line that meets the glance of the visitor.
 Men, too, as well as women, like to know that their jewels are cor rect. They like to feel sure about watch and to know that a dia- mond is not fiawed thing that is really deception. Therefore there are many men who, while choosing a Christmas gift for others. are finding that The George H. Ford Co.'S response to the needs of re- fined men is an absolutely reliable and correct article--if a watch. true to its promise: if a precious stone, just as it is represented.
