CANNIBALISM IN PARIS.
Parts of the Human which Rank ms
Delicate Tit-BiIs inthe Vari-
Gus Quarters.

Cannibalism is still rife among the
Paris hooligans. The last case we re-
corded was one of ear-eating; the
other day it was nose, says the
Paris Messenger. Tastes differ with
9diffsfent localities, and whereas at La
sVillette policeman's ear is looked upon
as a delicate tit-bit, at Bercy consta-
bIe's nose is not despised. Bercy is
where the wine comes from, and it
may be that rudy nasal organ is
preferred to a pale one by the local
man-eater. At one a. I'M. an "agent"
of the name of Pedamons was on duty
on the Boulevard de Bercy when his
assistance was sought by publican
who requested him to act as 'chucker
out" one of his customers being
drunk and refusing to quit. The Gus
toner in question, man named Bail
~, took no heed of the constable and
the latter clasped him round the waist
in order to evict him. Bailly there
upon started biting and tore the con-
stables nose right off, He was subse-
quently arrested and Pedamons was
taken to the hospital. If an operation
is performed it would only be right to
take flesh from Bailly's arm to pro-
vide the policeman with a new nose.

Advent CT Automnniac.

There seems TO be need of term
to designate the new terrors of our
streets, those speed-crazed paranO-
iacs who are now doing so much to
bring :he automobile into /disrepute,
says the Horseless Age. Various
terms are loosely applied, but a new
compound would be desirable. We
suggest the word "automaniac,"
which is in harmony with several
wen-krown words of Greek deriva-
ton already rooted in the language
as descriptive &c victims Of diseased
md abnormal appetite (diPsomaniac,
lleptomaniac). ard conveys a strong
and true picture Of the mental state
Of the worst Ct these offenders
against law and GCcpncy.

GIVE BABIES SOLID FOOD.
Rate Among Children of New
YOrk's Poor.

The average mother in easy circum-
stances will smile rather derisiyely on
hearing that France has law making
it crime to give solid food to any
child under one year old. Yet every
tenement house worker, visiting nurse,
health department officer or settle
ment resident can testify that the Gus
tom of feeding solid food TO toothless
infants is wellnigh universal in the
slum tenements, says a writer in the
New York Tribune. France, with her
low birth rate, has found that she can
not spare the 10000 babies that were
dying every year before the state took
them under its care. The American
waste of child life amounts to 100000
annually under five years. the proper
ton of deaths being greatest among
the foreign population, where the high
birth rate is balanced by heavy death
rate. Beer, tea, coffee, condensed
milk, watermelon, green corn and
pork rind are among the "dainties"
handed out to the unfortunate tene-
ment house infant.
my baby sit up at table and eat
everything all same as grown up, now"
said one young foreign mother, proud
ly, displaying her saffron colored one
year-old to the plying eyes of the
superintendent of day nursery.

and Have Games of Their
own Invention.

The "heathen Chinee" portrayed by
Bret Harte, with his sleeves full of
aces and bowers" is not creation OF
fiction. In fact, almost every native
of the celestial empire is born gam
bier and will hazard all he possesses
on the turn Of a card. If there is one
thing the Chinese in America cannot
understand regarding our customs ii
is why the police and courts SHOULD
take cognizance of gambling. 1t is Il
recognized amusement in China and
the Chinaman is a reckless gambler
They have several kinds of playing
cards, but the general name for them
is chepae, or paper tickets. The cards
are two inches and half in length and
half an inch wide and the kind most
commonly used are called tseen-wan-
che-pae, "a thousand times 10000
cards" This pack has 30 cards-three
suits of nine each and three indepen-
dent suits which are superior to the
rest. The suits are named respective
ly mine myriads of strings of beads"
mine units of cakes" and mine units
of chains"
There are several queer names for
other varieties of playing cards. One
is called "the hundred boys cards"
another "chariots, horses and guns"
and a third, curiously devised on the
principle of some Of our historical
games, is called "a thousand times 49,
900 mems names cards"

Railroad KILLED None.

Statistics recently issued by the
British board of trade show that dur
ing the last year not single passen-
ger has been killed in a railroad ao-
ident in Great Britain or Ireland.
This is the first time since railroads
were established in Great Britain
that no fatal accident to passenger
has occurred during a year. More
over, the number of railroad en-
ployes who were killed and wounded
during the last year was much less
than during preceding years, the
number of killed being dhly II and
of wounded 100. The number of pas
sengers wounded during the same
time was AGO.

HUNTERS FOR HEALTH.
An Army Of Travellers AIwnys,on the
Move I'm Search of Favorable
CIimste AGd Conditions.


Fully million people in the United
States are constantly out health hunt
ing. With half million people suf-
fering with tuberculosis, half as many
more afflicted with asthmatic and
bronchial troubles, and countless num-
bers possessing from one to half a
dozen ordinary diseases which are eth
er attributed to or directly affected by
the climatic conditions of the land in
which they live, it is not strange that
there should be small army of pro-
fessional health hunters fitting around
from one part of the world to another
in search of that chief desiJeratum Of
all, happiness in this life, which we
happen to know most about.
The up-to-date physician must now
be a good geographer and well ac-
quainted with ali the health resorts
of the world. He must know where the
best 'sun cure" is to be found. lie
must be able to recommend certain
high attitudes where it is dry, but not
dry enough to oyerburden the hearts
action. Some cannot stand the irri-
tating winds of the coast and must
go inland among the pines, while 9TH
ers must need the coast air. In fact,
the physical geography and climate of
the world is all things to all men.
There is large class of nervous
cranks in the world who refuse to set
tie anywhere permanently. Something
keeps telling them to keep moving"
They are constantly migrating in the
chase for health, says the Boston
Globe.
The army of health hunters is grow
ing every year, and the easy facilities
for rapid transit serve to increase it.
But there are some drawbacks to the
migration cure. The chase after health
serves to increase the fear OF dis
ease, and fear is the closest servant Of
death.
But there is no healthier place to
migrate to for awhile than the cid
home, for both mind and body. There
fore, don't forget old-home week. 1hc
whole man will profit thereby.

there is something which acts as a
great protection to the horse in the

that the odor of the goat, while Of

benefits the horse. have often want

AN INGENIOUS ARTIFICE.
Clever Scheme of n Bicycle Dealer for
Obtaining Measurements for
Saddle.

An elderly bicycle rider went to the
blishment Of a cycle dealer one
day and said to the proprietor: 81
have tried all sorts of saddles and
never found one that l could ride on
comfortably. If you can make one
that will fit me 1 will give you $25
for it."
"Come again in about an hour" said
the dealer, after moments thought.
At the expiration of that time the
customer came again. "Sit down."
said the dealer, pointing to a chair
"and tell me what kind Of saddle you
think you would like"
THAT'S for you to devise" replied
the other. 81 have no suggestions to
make"
"Well, I'll 90 the best can for you,
and take the risk" rejoined the deal
er, and after a few moments of desul-
tory conversation the caller took his
leave.
A day or two passed. says Youths
Companion, and new saddle was sent
to his address. About a week later
he came again. Here's your $25," he
said. "The saddle fits me perfectly.
Would you mind telling me how you
managed it?"

piled the dealer do you remember
my asking you to sit down in that
chair when you were here last?"

"Well, on that chair seat were two
sheets of paper, with sheet of car
bon-paper between them. When you
sat down you left the impression Of
your 'ischiatic tuberosities,' as they
are called, or lower-hip-bones, on the
white paper. 1t was easy to make a
saddle to conform to the location Of
those bones, and"
