PARIS WALKING MAD
The Craze for Pedestrianism Becom.
ing a Serious Problem.
Competitors in the Races Fill the
Streets-Many Classes of People
Engage in Them - Some
Amusing Incidents.

Paris.-Not long ago it was London,
and now it is Paris that has gone
mad with walking craze. Every
Sunday and holiday the streets of this
city are overrun with crowds of men
and women competitors in a walking
race. On recent Sunday we had
three-the midinettes, or dressmakers'
apprentices, the carriers, and the
chansonniers, or singers and poets of
the Montmartre cabarets. AS each of
them brought together immense
crowds of people, I imagine the pre-
feet of police will soon get tired of
the new Partisan craze.
l must say nothing more amusing
was ever seen in Paris than the
marche des midinettes. OF course, as
sporting event it simply did not ex-
list. The whole question was one OF
getting we'll away; those who were
favored by the start, if they could
walk at all, had the race in hand.
The 1000 competitors were drawn up
in line across the Place de la Con-
corde. The Avenue des Champs Ely

DEER AND SLEEP.
FOresters Say Animals Sleep AbOu
Five Hours in Daytime-Not

Deer reverse the apparent order of ma
ture, for they, sleep in the daytime and
feed at night, says the Scottish Field.
How much sleep they do take is a mat
ter Of contention, even among expert
enced stalkers-some say little, others
much. On the whole, we are inclined
to agree with the former, for it has
to be remembered that they chew the

Must be Labeled.

W. w. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, has given notice
that he will enforce rigidly the pure
food laws with reference to maple and
other syrups. He will require all syr-
ups not made of pure juices to be la
beled with a statement of all the in
gradients. He will give jobbers until
until January to get their goods pro-
perly labeled, and the retailers will be
given six months longer, or until July
l, to dispose of their unlabcled goods,
and after that time they must comply
strictly with the law.

occasion of the arrival of the car
There were at least half a million peo-
pie between Paris and Nanterre All
along the II kilom :ters of route there
were unbroken liI.es of people; while
10000 or so on cycles, automobiles, in
carriages and or horseback accompa-
MED the procession. The race was
won by Mile. Cheminelle.
The walk of the chansonniers was.
however, perhaps the most original
held yet. For each of the poets had
not only to cover the Is kilometers be-
tween Montmartre and Suresnes and
back, but he had to compose a poem
on a subject to be announced at the
moment of the start. The poets start
ed from the Cabaret des Quat'z Arts,
that last fortress of Montmartre wit
and humor, the last of the cabarets
artistiques on the Sacred HILL M.
Trombert, it's genial owner, acted as
starter to the score or so Of chanson-
niers who lined up on the boulevard.
The subject given out for the poem,
announced just as the competitors
went off, was: THE inconvenience of
having corns on the feet" M. from
bert gravely adding that the treat
ment of the subject might be Grave
or gay. The prize was won by NJ. de
Ia Fouchardiere.

FINLAND

1t is claimed that spies are con-
stantly watching the Finnish exiles
residing in Stockholm. The persons
used for this work are Finlanders of
a low type, and the aim of the es-
pionage is to try to find out how OBJ
noxious literature is smuggled into
Finland.
Jews alone are excepted. The grand
duke of Finland, in the person of Car
Nicholas II, upon the advice of his
excellency, Governor General Bobri-
koff OF Finland, has decreed, contrary
to the constitution of Finland, that
Russian subjects who are not citizens
of Finland shall be allowed to ac-
quire and hold all kinds of real estate
in Finland. But this privilege shall
not be granted to persons of the Mo-
sale creed, and the old laws shall re-
main in force as far as the Jews are
concerned.

SWEDEN,

concerned.
SWEDEN
>Desertion or not desertion, this was
the question recently submitted to
the municipal court of Stockholm. A
former manufacturer had sued his
wife for divorce on the charge of
desertion. During the trial it was
ascertained that the couple, who were
Swedish subjects, had removed to
Finland number of years ago. Sub
sequently the husband returned to
Sweden, but his wife refused to fol-
low him. and she still resides in Fin
land. The court held that she had
not deserted" her husband under
those circumstances, and the plaintiff
failed to obtain divorce. The legal
profession was greatly interested in
this case.
Otto Harald Rundquist, an employe
in the navy of Sweden, was to re-
move the shell Of projectile at the
laboratory near Karlskrona. just as
he picked up the projectile to place
it in a vice it exploded with such
terrific force that Mr.. Rundquist was
killed almost instantly. Some of the
fragments of the projectile passed
clear through the wall.
The Swedish railway union has me-
morialized the king with regard to
the qualifications of locomotive en-
gineers, demanding, among other
things, that locomotive engineer
on a private railway be: at least rs
years old; Swedish citizen; a person
of good reputation; of good health;
or normal hearing and sight; of good
moral conduct-especially with regard
to temperance-of quick, perception,
and of presence of mind; he must also
be able to read and write a fairly
good essay on some branch of the rail-
way service, to handle decimal frac-
tions, to give an account of the deci-
NAL system, to state the regulations
governing the duties of locomotive
engineer and to demonstrate some
skill in handling an engine; more
over, he must have served two years
as locomotive fireman and two years
at locomotive repair shop.
A monument has ben unveiled on
the grave of Prof. Oscar Ain, the
patriot and historian, at Upsala. It
is a rough granite block to which
is attached medallion showing the

The foundation of the St. Ingrid
monastery has been discovered at
Nordana, city of Skenine. The ma
