 Valentine de Merelli, then Mime. Sohet, used to appear at this smart bohemian bar, together with her hus- band, almost daily. She was on speak ing terms with many of the above mentioned Parisians, and would sit, chat and listen to the brisk suggestive Wttticisms of the conversation, while slipping indolently a glass of pale ab- sinthe or of madeira and calisaya bit- ters, and gracefully smoking an Egyp- tian cigarette.
 Valentine was born at Sedan on No Vember F, 1876. She was educated in the Convent of the Assumption, to- gether with other young women of the first Sedan families, and married a thrifty master printer named Camille Sohet. Soon afterward an aunt died and left legacy of some twenty thou sand dollars to Valentine, who shared the sum with her husband, and the couple came to Paris. Valentine, not content with quiet bourbeois exist ence, wished to become famous. Her husbands affairs prospered in Paris, and they took an apartment in the Boulevard de Clichy, where they gave

NOW AND THEN.

The good old times are recalled by the statement that a schooner is now loading at Boston for the west coast of Africa. The cargo is a very miscel- laneous one, consisting of about two hundred barrels of old New England rum said to be very highly appreciated by the natives; one hundred and sev- enty-five cases and one hundred and ninety-five hogsheads of tobacco, five hundred barrels of flour, two thousand cases of canned goods, TWO hundred and one tons of coal, sixteen hundred cases of oil, sewing machines, tin cans, lumber, oars, furniture and a variety of other articles.
 This is something odd for these days, but, as the Providence Journal points out, if search were made among the papers of mercantile houses which fiourished in this section century or so ago many manifests of similar car- goes would be found. What the return cargo in this case is to be is not men, tioned, but in the old days there would have been no doubt as to it's character, slaves being then the staple article of West African export. Those voyages were divided into three parts. New England rum, Yankee notions" and some firearms and ammunition made up the bulk of the cargo on the out ward passage; slaves were carried on

British fruit growers are meeting foreign competition by new methods It has been discovered that the yield of the small trees can be increased greatly by growing in pots under glass. Irrigation on a large scale by means of wells, gas-driven pumps and an exten- sive distribution of hose piping is also being employed. The old round boxes which the purchaser of fruit had to re- turn to the seller are being discarded for lighter receptacles which need not be returned.

HOW TO TREAT THE NEW BOYS.

T
 It is an improving sight to see the heavyweight Faculty of Yale and the heavy weight "city authorities" of New Haven utterly fiabbergasted by gang of new boys. What Is to be done? As nobody seems to know, we will make a modest suggestion. Let all the Freshmen be lassoed, or otherwise caught, and led to "the historic Green" on which the University looks down. Let them there be ranged in single file about the fence in bent at- tftude, the banding being such as to protuberate the spot where their brains seem to be located. Behind each one of them let there be placed a member of the Faculty, "city authority" |" a policeman, or a leading citizen Let each one so placed be armed with an adequate sDanker. Then let the great bell at the City Hall so,emnly and slowly sound, and at each stroke let each spanker descend with force and arms until justice, the new boys. and all the offended folks are satisfied.
 This would be something to see and remember. It would also be something for the new boys to feel and remem- Der. And a public spanking would add to the distinction of the class al- most as much as few jail sentences would.

The smart elephants are not all dead. Some of them are even as smart as the man who rocks the boat. The captain of a trading steamer tells about his cargo of forty elephants. The ship was at anchor in a calm sea, but began to roll violently. The captain investi- gated and learned that the elephants had in some way found that by sway ing to and fro, all together, rocking motion was produced that seemed to please them immensely So the great heads and bodies rolled and swung in unison until the steamer, which had no other cargo, and rode light, was in im- nlinent danger of rolling clean over. The attendants were hurried down into the hold, and, after a great deal of shouting and humping, managed to stop their dangerous amusement. Jules Verne tells as a fiction of the sinking of 8 ship in that way.

General Trepoff received a piece of blue paper with g. warning of his ap- preaching death scrawled on it. The distinguished officer sneeringly turned to one of his staff and remarked: '.rhese people who want to murder me have nothing better than bit of gro- cer's paper to write on.' However, the next day his unknown friends showed that they really can do things in style if they like and sent the same polite message on a fair parchment written in a delicate hand.

THE BRITISH NAVY AT sINGAPORE

A British naval officer, high in com mand' at Davenport, has been talking with London newspaper correspond ent about the recent decision to convert Singapore into great naval base. He said no naval man would be surprised by it, as it was clearly foreshadowed a year ago, when the British naval re-
 distribution scheme was published. The reduction of the China squadron formed one of the principal features of it. This reduction has now taken place by the withdrawal of the entire battle division and the conversion of the Chi ma command into the Fourth Cruiser
 Squadron. Evidently, he pointed out, the war worthiness of flying force of this character depends largely upon the l existence of an adequate base for coal ing and replenishing stores, Hongkong is useful for operations in the China Sea, but not for the defence of Aus
 tralia possessions; and the safeguard ing of the Australian colonies is the
 main object of the whole scheme. AL though the British fleet in the Far East
 may continue to be called the China Squadron, it is now strategically the Australasian Squadron. Under the new condition of things q very small force
 is sufficient to protect British interests in the China Seas. Any conflict relat- 1 ing to those interests would be fought out in European waters. Singapore oc- cupies most commanding position for
 the defence by sea of the Australian continent, and has been chosen for that purpose.

An interesting report is made by MT. John P. Clum special postoffice in- spector, who has just returned from a tour through Alaska. He reports that country as developing wonderfully, and says that the boom towns are passing and in their places are permanent com- munities, peopled by orderly citizens who are going to remain there per manently, and who have large business enterprises to direct and large amounts Of capital invested in the territory. He also makes the announcement that the new discoveries of gold promises to be as great as any that have gone on be- fore, and says that the new town of Fairbanks is the biggest wonder of Alaska and that there are 10000 per sons who are going to stay up there all winter, although the city is north of the Arctic circle.
