One OF the strongest arguments which

SECRET POLICE RULE FRANCE.

Skilled in all languages, able to en- Ser any society, the agents of the br1- gade des recherches (the secret poHce) have their fingers on the pulse of pub lie life and know the men of high place as well as if they had gone through with lighted candles. In large measure it is through them that France is governed. It is mistake, though not an unnatural one, to as- sume that, because France is a repub- lie, the people have much to say in Fmatters of government. The word of the people is of little weight. The republic is parliamentary. 1t is in trenched behind privileges and but tressed by an irremovable senate, which selects the presidents. In later years it has become largely a govern ment of financiers. It has abrogated the right of trial by jury and denied to the people the right of plebiscital suffrage. The French republic is ruled from the top down. The pre- feet of police is the agent of this oli- garchy, as he was in the time of Louis XVI The secret police is it's obedi- ent servant Presidents come and go; liberal ministries are succeeded by rad ieal ministries; and socialists follow the radicals, but always the secret po- lice remains, and always the oligarchy governs. The very man who is chief of state may be ranked among the en- enfes-at least the adversaries-of this occult ruling power.-vance Thompson in October Success.

BUT FEW WORDS NECESSARY
Ev cyoa&~ Conversation Requires Sur pr.saDz y Small Voca bulary-
 Child Put to Test.

'"7h~ small number of words actually necessary for ordinary purposes in our everyday life is surprising, and nothing illustrates this better than the limited vocabulary of little childr" Dr. M. Harris said to the St. Louis Globe-Dem- ocrat. "I have adaughter six years old. She is able to make all her wants known, to talk freely and easily. If an adult knew just the number of words in a foreign tongue that she knows in her own, he would be able to get along nice 1y in conversational way with people who spoke nothing but that language. What the child's vocabulary comprises. how many words and of what classes. I recently made it my business to ascer- tain in a series of investigations extend7 ing over considerable period of time. found that the total number of words she knew and used was just 352, omit ting proper names, and that 54 per. cent of these were nouns, IS per cent. verbs and II per cent. adjectives, the re- mainder being made up of conjunctions, propositions and pronouns.

RARMAIDS or OLD BABYLON.
the Ancient City of Hanging
 ! Gardens.

A recent translation of King Hamon- rabi's code, written 2,250 years before Christ, gives an insight into the life of the great city of Babylon at thai remote time, and of the way in which the excise question was handled by it's legislators:
 Nearly all the dealers in wines and liquors at that time were women, as many of the laws translated from the code speak only of women as sellers of drinks Severe measures were taken against those who adulterated the wines or mixed them with water so as to safeguard the purity of the article for the use of the public. The barmaid was held responsible for dis orderly scenes or drunkenness in her premises and death was the penalty for those who did not denounce all cases of drunkenness to the police: Those women who were employed in the temples were forbidden to enter public hostelries under penalty of death, and even drinking in private was forbidden to them.
 Special police officers were detailed for the enforcement of the excise laws in the city of Babylon, but then as well as now the officers charged with this duty were, if we are to believe the code in question, either negligent in the performance of their duties or too willing to accept bribes from the barmaids in the shape of drinks, or even money.
 Severe punishment is dealt out in the document to the police officers who shall accept bribes in connection with the enforcement of the excise laws of Babylon, but it is probable that then as we'll as now many of the fair saloon keepers found way to bribe the officers and evade the laws

WATER THAT GAN MAGNETIzE.

A reputable scientific publication is sponsor for the statement that there exist in at least three places in the state of Indiana springs or wells whose water possesses marked magnetism and is able to impart it to steel objects dipped therein. This property has been reported of other springs in vaTi- ous parts Of the world, but such tales have been received by scientific men with caution. In this case the mag netism seems to arise from the fact that considerable quantities of carbon ate of iron are dissolved in the water. When it stands for some time this de- eomposes into carbonic acid gas, which escapes, and magnetic iron oxide, which falls to the bottom of the con- .taining vessel asFa a powder. When the decomposition has ceased the wa ter is no longer magnetic. These springs are said to cause perceptible deviation of compass needle, and a knife blade immersed for five minutes in one of the springs is magnetized sufficiently to sustain needles by it's point, retaining this property for thirI ty hours The water corrodes loco motive boilers, but, when allowed to stand till the carbonate has all deconl- posed, can be used with impunity.- From Success.

A PAINFUL TOPIC.

Now that Robert Treat Paine, .Jr, of Boston, has declared for MT Roosevelt on the Booker Washington lunch issue, a response comes all the way from Montgomery, ala The Baltimore Sun prints a dispatch from that city giving a statement of Henry Brooks, editor of the Luverne, Ala, Critic formerly a resident of Washington, D. c. MT Brooks says he is amused by MT Paine's action, and this is his reason:
 Robert Treat Paine, acting for his wife, bought, through his agents in Washington, D. O., a piece of land in Virginia, near Fort Myer, and Arling- ton, laid it off into town lots, named it Clarendon, and sold to people with binding contract that said lots should never. be sold to negro. own three of these lots-119. 12O and 121-and have the contract and the deeds for them. .''--SprinGha Ran1lhlican-

VAUDEVILLE.

Just how Manager Pon manages to put together such a remarkable show as he has running at the Jacques this week without making any raise in prices is something that would not be easy to explain. Perhaps never since vaudeville has been established here has bill of such uniform strength and excellence, having every act good without a single weak feature, been offered for the devotees of this popu- lar form of entertainment. It is the talk on al sides that fo~ the number of acts included the bill is more on the Keith scale of prices than the Poli one, and 1t is only additional evidence that local lovers of vaudeville are far ing quite as well at very much less expense than those of New York, Bos- ton and the other large cities. Just look in at. the Jacques this week and see for yourself if this isn't the case. Just ask yourself where else than in the Poli houses could you see a show like this for 10. 20 and 80 cents; after moons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.
