FRENCH PRESIDENTS GUARDS
Police Methods Employed to Promote Safety of the Executive os
 France.

The Paris municipal council has re. fused Co pay any longer for the pc lice protection of the president ot the republic, hitherto defrayed by the taxpayers, says the Philadelphia Telegraph, on the ground that this is an item of national and not municipal expenditure. The municipal police have been withdrawn from the Ely see. In their stead is staff of de- tectives belonging to the surete gen. erale, a section under the ministry of the interior. The older members of the Elysee police staff, unwilling to sever their connections with the Elysee, have resigned their municipal appointment and joined the new force. The cost of protecting the president is $13,50o year. Twelve detectives, styled by courtesy in- -spectors, are employed for this pur- pose. Their office is under the gate- way of the Elysee, on the Faubourg- Saint-Honore, and they are taking their orders from the president's s civil secretary.
 The brigade has no easy task. Ii accompanies the president on all his travels and at least a couple of de- tectives shadow him on his morning walks to the Bois de Boulogne. M. Casimir-P -Perier could never bear this police surveillance, and more than once he gave his detectives the slip, much to the annoyance of the pre- feet of police. Felix Faure looked upon them as most useful and de- serving men. President Loubet thinks they are a necessary evil.

PHOTOGRAPHS THAT TALK.
Latest Ta1l<ing-HIachine Invented in England Which Operates on an
 Entirely New Principle.

The physical properties of sound embrace wide field, and, though one might suppose that the possible varieties of tall1ing-machines had been pretty we'll exhausted, such does not appear to be the case. A new one has appeared in England which is based on principle alto gether novel, depending upon photog- raphy for its effects, says the Phila- delphia Saturday Evening Post.
 The contrivance in question util- izes a flame, lighted at the mouth ot pipe which is expanded below into a sort of box. On one side of the box is diaphragm, against which a per son talks. The vibrations of the diaphragm thus produced cause the flame, as one might expect, to jump up and down.
 Now, while the talking goes on, the jumping flame is photographed on a moving film, the result being a band of varying intensity. To reproduce the sounds, beam of light is pro- jected through this band upon a se1enium cell which is included in a circuit with battery and a tele- phone.
 The electrical corductivity of the sselenium is varied by light, and the result of the passing of the beam is to. cause variations in the current oi the telephone circuit. Any varia- tions in. air-waves make sound, and thus the original voice of the speak CT is accurately repr oduced.
 Sound records made in this way can be multiplied indefinitely by the use of photorraphy.

WHERE w1DowERs ARE TAXED
Strange Laws Enforced by n Tribe >n the Island of Mindanao in
 the Philippines. 8

One of the Philippine tribes en- forces al widow tax" The law gov erning it was undoubtedly founded on more than superficial knowledge of human nature, and is productive of advantages which even western CT can see.
 Marriage in haste" among the Tagacoalos, of Mindanao, therefore, leads to very prolonged and literal ''repenting at leisure"
 Upon the death of his wife the widower must pay a certain sum of money or certain amount of goods to his father-in-law before he is en- titled to look about for an eligible successor to the deceased. With them money, as we know, is rare ar ticle, and the usual means of barter is by plates of the ordinary iron stone patterns. One hundred of these is considered ample payment to the bereaved parents.
 On the other hand, if the husband dies, the widow at once becomes the slave of her parents-in-law, and so remains for life unless some relative comes forward and produces the requisite payment.
 The natural result of this rule is that all married people are extreme ly solicitous of each others health and welfare. In sickness the invalid is scrupulously attended to by hus- band or wife, who is perhaps haunt ed more by thought of those 1OO plates than by fear of a death in the family.
 Divorce they know not, but polyga- my is universal, and man may have as many wives as his means will per init of. TherSfore in case of death of much-married man his parents either have enough slaves to render future work on their part unneces- sary or else they are in a position tn open up crockery store. cheap means of life insurance. This pay ment is. called "cabaloan," or "the widow tax"

TYPICAL SOUTH AFRICAN STORE

O. R. Larson, of Bay Villa, Sundays River, Cape Colony, conducts store typical of South Africa, at which can be purchased anything from the pro- verbal needle to an anchor" This store is situated in a valley nine miles from the nearest railway station and about twenty-five miles from the near est town. MT Larson says: "I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied, Cham -berlain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctors advice ix almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store the pop ulation is perhaps sixty. Of these, within the past twelve months, no less than fourteen have been absolutely cured by Chamberlain's Cough Reme- dy- This must surely be a. record. For sale by all druggists.

FAvTs MON1h KNOWING.

The oyster supply for the coming season is to be large, it is said.
 Teak, the famous English ship-build ing wood, weight 41.o6 pounds to the cubic foot.
 Three million acres of Mon tana land are to be auctioned off at a minimum o1 $10 an acre. . Some naturalists say that no insects except the silk worm feed upon the leaves of the mulberry.
 Every sacrifice offered on a Roman altar was perfurned either with flowers or with some odor extracted from them.
 Pastilles are wafers made to be set on fire and in the process of burning give forth the odor of certain plants or flowers.
 Much attention was paid to paved roads in Greece, and an excellent sys- tenn of roads ran from Athens to all parts of the peninsula.
