He is nearly as strenuous" as the
president of the United States, and is
like Mr.. Roosevelt in having habit
of taking his friends out for walks, and,
forgetting that they are less energetic
than himself, bringing them back In a
state of collapse. The other day, some
miles from the end Of one of these
walks, the presidents confrere, M.

o'clock every morning, summer and
winter alike. Old man as he is, he still
fences every day, and all his writing is
done standing at his desk Though the
recent sessions of the chamber have
extended far into the night and been
exceptionally stormy, the president has
not yet missed "seance," and 1t is not
at all likely that the vice president will
be overworked
NJ. Brisson is great authority on
political economy. Several years ago
he Travelled extensively both in Egypt
and the Holy Land, and the fortunate
folk who received letters from him
while on his wanderings declare that
their wit, insight and general literary
quality made them well worth being
preserved in print. Like most other
men in high places, however, the presi-
dent of the chamber evidently was no
Sunday school boy. He is particularly
fond of telling of walking tour which
he and six other rare spirits, fresh from
school, once took in the "berrichon"
country, the land of George Sand.

entered lifting up their voices in song.
Oddly enough, this did not charm the
villagers, and, as the students declined
to be less vocal, they soon found them.

artists, out to make sketches, and, as
luck would have it, the Judge de paix"
himself made a fad of painting. The
sketches which were shown him de-
lighted this magistrate SO much that
he was for dismissing the boys alto
gether, but the villagers insisted on
sterner measures. and finally the
youths were hailed before the project
of the district, who fined them 1000
francs, of 5000 each.

LONDON, March 19.-With the ap-
proach of spring the society that has
charged itself with the responsibility
of discouraging Irish emigration will
enter on new phase Of its operations,
and 1t means to employ drastic meas
ures to accomplish its ends. AS soon
as the necessary photography and 9TH
er illustrations are received from the
United States, a lantern lecturer will
be sent through the districts suffering
most from the emigration fever, show
ing the surroundings of unskilled labor
in America and pointing out the hard
ships which intending emigrants may
have to encounter in their efforts to
make living in a strange land.
This method has been decided upon
after lengthy correspondence with the
commissioner general of immigration
as we'll as the commissioners of immi-
grafton at New York and Philadelphia
and the bureau of immigration at
Washington. The committee of the
society are hopeful that the bureau Of
immigration at Washington will con-
slider certain amendments which they
have suggested with regard to the
compiling of the Irish portion of the
American emigration returns.
The committee is hard at work or
ganizing conference which it is pro-
posed to hold at St. Louis in July or
August. 1t is expected to be one Of
the most representative bodies that
has ever met to discuss the subject of
emigration as far as 1t relates to Ire
land. The society, in order to strength
en- their agitation, has obtained ex-
pressions Of opinion from the following
authorities on the subject These will
be printed, and it is proposed to cir
culate them at markets, fairs and
church doors throughout Ireland. The
campaign will commence about the

PARIS, March 19.-M. Henri BrisSon
who recently succeeded the willy Paul
Deschanel as president of the French
house of representatives, and whose
latest photograph is sent herewith is
30 we'll known as a public man that it
would be rather a waste Of time to re-
tell the long story of his political ca
reer. Readers generally, however, may
not realize how many sided is this old
parliamentary warhorse who advocated
the cause of the republic with voice,
with pen, and, occasionally, with the
sword, long before 1t was proclaimed.
Seen, cold, impassiYe and satirical, in
the chamber of deputies M. Brisson is
about the last man in French politics
today whom you would suspect of be-
Ing, when off duty, boon companion Of
"les petits," as children are called here.
AS a matter of fact, however, M. Bris-
son might be either Lewis Carroll or
Eugene Field, SO far as popularity with
the tots is concerned, and his methods
of amusing them, too, recall those of
the authors of Alice" and Little Boy
Blue" The president of the "chambre"
is a widower and childless, but his dis
tinguished chief of the cabinet" M.
Jacques Girerd, has two little olive
branches, and by them Bison" as he
is known to the small Albert and Su-
zanne, is regarded as just about the
best fellow in the world. Often he
spends hours in making nonsense
rhymes for them and some Of these
presidential efforts would not disgrace
Carroll himself. Brisson really is an
amateur verse writer of no small abil-
ity, good many of his sonnets having
found their way into print, and also an
enthusiast on the subject of the po-
etic drama. His friends declare that
he can recite both "Hernani' and "Ruy
Bias" with as much facility as Mounet-
Sully, who plays them; and he has

license If possible. Exceptions are
sometimes necessary with paterna1
governments which are supposed to
oversee everything.
Some of the laws on dress are hard
and fast, for instance, one connected
with the Mardi-gras and mid-Lenten
festivities. On these days, all varieties
Of fancy dress are sanctioned, So long
as one reserve is maintained: men may
masquerade as women, or vice versa,
but woe betide the wretched being who
presumes to appear In tights. For this
last offense there is no escape after
commission. and no license to be
bought beforehand. With the mere
question of mans or woman's clothes,
however. more leniency is shown, and
in exceptional cases and upon the
presentation Of conclusive reasons
therefor, woman may habitually wear
mems clothes or even a man woman's
clothes. Rosa Bonheur received one
of these rare permits, because she
could not, she said, go about freely
sketching in the fields when hampered
by skirts. And Nine. Dieulafoy re-
ceived another on account of her arch

In CantaIoupe Shipments every
thing wcut,''

Here is sample Of how the cantaloupe
business was conducted this season as
related to the manager of one of the lead
ing associations: One day grower un-
loaded on the platform so crates, the in
spector examined them and said not half
dozen crates were fit for shipment, hav-
ing been pulled from the vines two early.
The managers verdict was the same
The grower knew that the cantaloupes
were not fit for shipment. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that all parties to the trans
action knew that the cantaloupes were
wholly unfit for shipment they were ac-
cepted and sent east. Why? Because il
this association had not accepted them a
rival shipper stood ready to take them
and the first association did not want
to turn down" the 60 crates of green
melons and lose the business of large
grower And this instance is only a
sample Of what transpired at all the ship
ping platforms. As might have been ex-
pected when all parties agreed upon the
unripc Condition of the melons, the re-
turns were in many cases loss. and in
others miseraby small profit.

when this remedy is given. 1t contains
no opium or other harmful substance and

to an adult. 1t is also pleasant to take
