~ YER since the foundation Of
X the Third Republic France
has been in a condition of
constant ferment. The coun-
try realizes that, like all Latin races,
1t requires leader beyond everything,
and the question Is what personality
can free her from her actual condition
Of chaos and confusion.
No one possesses a greater claim to
her allegiance than Louis Philippe
Robert, Due d'Orleans. He can appeal
not only to those democratic princi-
pies which were adopted in July, 1880,
but he is also the chosen successor of
the older Bourbon line. When his ia
Their, the Comte de Paris. submitted to
the Comte de Chambord in 1878, he
laid the foundations of the fusion be-
tween the Legitimist and Orleanist
parties. The fusion was cemented in
1884 by the death of Henri ", for
since then the overwhelming majority
of the Legitimists have recognized first
the Comte de Paris and then the Due
d'Orleans as the successive heads Of
the royal race in France.
Unfortunately for himself the Comte
de Paris claimed to be king of France.
He had but little of the dictator. His
whole policy was one of compromise,
which could effect nothing in coun-
try where the personality of the in
dividual is everything. He therefore
steadily lost ground from the very mo-
ment he became the recognized head
OF his house.
The wreck Of his party was COM
pleted by his understanding with
General Boulanger. He overrated the
power Of this political charlatan.
The Due d'Orleans had. however,
started fair. Born at Twickenham on
February 6. 1869. he is even now only
80 years of age. His striking resem-
blance to Henri w. had won him sup
port from the more convinced section
of his following.
He made good move politically

GOSSIP FROM PARIS

authority, says that Maitre Labor,
who has split with Dreyfus, will be
prosecuted If he oversteps professional
secrecy regarding the Dreyfus revela-
lions. Dreyfus is In Paris, where he
is taking steps for probable eventual
defense against Maitre Labori's state
ments. He has close relations with
the Socialist wing of the government
supporters and he frequently meets
Prime Minister Waldeck-Rousseau
An inspector in one of the large
Paris shops noticed a woman, poorly
clothed, carrying baby. who went
from one department to another with
out buying anything He noticed also
that from time to time she lifted the
childs veil and kissed it affectionately.
He went up to her. under pretense
of admiring her baby, and lifted the
veil. He found that the baby was
really large cardboard doll, inside Of
which the woman had placed number
Of articles she had stolen.
The gambling passion Is by no
means confined to the male kind. II
is well known fact that Paris is
riddled with its ramifcations, and
that the gentler sex by no means es-
cape the temptation. Even a con-
cierge is not too busy with mops and
brooms to have her little book" 1t
appears. A sporting lady Of this class
has just been arrested in the Rue
d'Hauteville, Paris, for using the
dodgers rent payments in turf trans
actions. When the owner Of the
house called to collect his due, she
told pitiful tale of burglars who had
broken into her lodge and stolen the
rents. There was. however, want
of conference about the tale, and the
truth finally came out.
1t appears that this unlucky con-
cierge once backed a winner and had
great faith in her luck-a fateful faith
which is not limited to her particu-
lar class. The poor woman is in Jail,
where there is no Gordon to pull and
where no lodgers' letters require in.

when, on reaching the age Of 81, he
violated the law that exiled his fam
lily from its native soil by returning to
France and asking. as private citi-
zen. to be allowed to serve in the
French army as common soldier. So
far, SO good. His compromise with
the government. which allowed him to
accept expulsion from the French ter
ritory, has proved to be the beginning
slackness have ruined course that at
one time might have spelt success and
even triumph.
To most Frenchmen loyalism has
for long been but name and nothing
else. Seventy years have run since
Charles x. was driven from Paris,
and no king has held sway since 1S4S.
Many deputies have royalist sympa-
thies, but then they owe their seats
either to their own personal influence
or to their Conservative principles.
Many, on the other hand, who have
called themselves adherents to the re-
public, or even progressive Republic
cans. are really Royalists at heart.
They would welcome any change
from the present regime. but, unfor-
tunately for himself. the Due dor
leans has not only steadily set him
self to undermine the loyalty OF his
own most devoted supporters, but has
shown them that he has become i'm
possible.
He has steadily lost ground in
France since he has become the recog-
nized representative of the Legiti-
mist principles. Many factors have,
It is true, combined to promote this
result. We have not yet alluded to
the most potent one.
On February 16. 1892. Pope Leo XIII
issued his encyclical "Rerum Nova
rum" Until then almost every religi-
Gus Frenchman was an upholder Of
Royalist principles. The pope told
them they must accept the republic as
the government Of the country. This
order, while 1t has not succeeded In
winning the republic over to the cause
Of religion, and has robbed the religi-
Gus orders of much of the support they
would otherwise have received, has,
however. had one marked result.
The Royalist party in the chamber
has fallen from 140, and may now be
said to have dwindled to bakers
dozen.

The keepers of Belle Isle zoo, at De.
troit. recently had an opportunity to
see how the timber wolf gets its food
when wild. A peacock got out OF its
pen and after flying some distance,
started to alight In the section fenced
off for the timber wolves. When the
bird began to settle the wolves were
alert, crouching as II to keep out of
sight. When the peacock touched
ground the animals were upon it in an
instant and the bird was torn to pieces
in a few seconds.

The BARRIERS of India rank with the
washerwomen. The son Of barber
must be a barber all his life and his
wife must be BARRIERS daughter. The
Hindoo shaver travels about in search
of customers, and the barbering Is
done in the street. But there are no
stools. both barber and customer
squatting on their heels while the op-
GRAFTON is performed. The Hindoo
barber is manicure and a chiropo-
dist as we'll, and his pay is wretched-
ly small. They often act as sur
geons. and they make speciality of
piercing the ears Of young girls for
earrings. while BARRIERS wives are al
most always hairdressers.

No Nihilist will ever get chance
at the Gar Of Russia with a razor,

trimmed. but with scissors. Even
this is treated as a responsible and
important function. and Of the four
Grand Masters of the Court, as they
are called. one always attends the
Gear when His Majesty is under the
BARRIERS care. Not that any doubt is
felt as to the fidelity Of the tonsorial
artist. The family of the Guelabovski
have been BARRIERS to the imperial
house OF Romanoff from the time Of
Gar Paul.

During his recent visit in Santiago
General Wood bought for the govern

Gold Dredging In the Urais.
Gold placers have been working In
the Ural and In Siberia for several
years, but with rare exceptions no eff
forts have been made to extract gold
from the gravels lying below the level
Of the surface water. Ill-considered
attempts at dredging have been made
in q few instances on the tributaries
Of the Amoor river. in East Siberia
These were failures, principally on ac-
count of the shortness of the season
and the distance from repair shops.
In the Ural, peasant operators have
long obtained gold and platinum from
the rivers by the practice OF boat
shoveling," a method formerly used
to some extent in the southeastern
part of the United States. This meth
cd, however. which employs no ma
chinery more elaborate than hand
windlass, is necessarily limited in ca
pacity. Within two years dredges of
the New Zealand and American types
have been installed in the Mariinsk
district of West Siberia. Reports from
the American machines are not yet
at hand. but those from the New Zea-
land dredge, the only one In operation
during the season Of 1900. leave no
