Child labor laws seem to fall because legislators do not distinguish carefully between the thing to be accomplished and the means to accomplish It There Is no doubt whatever that legislatures can fix the minimum age at which chill dren may be allowed to work, but in carrying out the purpose of the laws they make, they must be sure that they treat all children alike. The certifica- ton of age must be obtainable by all. Child labor laws, so far as their ex- ecutive provisions go, have been fash toned too much after the laws of Euro pean countries. It Is very easy in those countries to obtain certificates of age, because they all preserve vital statis- ties. Every child born into the world is properly recorded, and at any time the date of his birth can be obtained. In this country vital statistics have not been kept until very recent years. Here the States manage these matters to suit themselves. The births of some children are recorded and of others not. Any law that requires a certificate based upon record must necessarily dis criminate against those whose births are not matter of record. The Penn sylvanla law has been declared uncon- stitutional because 1t so discrimlnated. Other laws have met similar fate for the same reason. What are needed are provisions that will conform to the con ditions obtaining in this country. There is no doubt that minimum age can be fixed by law. There ought to be some way by which evidence of age can be established that will apply to all alike. This is the problem to be solved, and its solution may lie in the general ln- stitution of vital statistics. The courts have not indicated such a solution, they being satisfied simply to declare the de fleets In laws enacted. The lawmakers must discover how to solve this prob lem and no doubt they will.

 The Pantheon Is one of the notable buildings of Paris, and Notre Dame chief point of interest This great church Is a marvel of architectural grandeur.

 The shops of Paris are an interest ly the small ones, and the people passed on the street the tourist always remem- bers. Two-wheeled carts are seen ey- anywhere, some pushed by men In blue blouses, some by bareheaded women, crowned each by a stiff white muslin cap. The carts contain fish, fruits and vegetables.

Paris to the American tourist Is of Little accustomed conyeniences are missing. Manners of living which our forefathers knew continue to prevail. Candles and smoky lamps are used. At some places the bath tub is hauled to house on a cart, the owner waits on the curbstone till his client is through with his ablutions, and carts 1t away. The grand hotels are extortlonate, and the tip system is in full swing. The bouleyards change their names every time they make a change in direction.
 In the middle of everything on an island In the river In the oldest part of Paris, retaining Its importance on account of the Church of Notre Dame. Upon 1t the episcopal palace, the old est hospital. the law courts and the police headquarters are located. The right bank of the river Is the center of moneyed luxury and of every fad and folly which wealth produces. Here are the principal bouleyards. the ma Jority of the theaters, magnificent ave nues, palatlal houses and handsome squares. The national library Is here, and the city's great centers of com merce and finance. The parks are beau tiful, and each has its distinctive charm. The gardens of the Tulleries have their innumerable statues, the Bois de Boulogne is exquisite with the natural beauties of foliage and long woodland vstas, and the park of the Buttes, Chaumont on Its hilly site above the town, has Its especial at , traction of cascades and a fine stalac- tite grotto As to the Louvre, It's mas terpieces represent almost every school of painting and this famous structure contains more art treasures than any building north of the Alps.

There is no great difficulty In getting a permit from the director of prisons to visit the conciergerie.

 "There comes that bowl again!" ejaculated Mrs. Pryor, In a tone of de spair. A moment later she was at the door listening affably while her friend from across the street told how she couldn't resist bringing over bowl of these strawberries-th are so unusu ally large."

 But before week had passed she sent 1t over again filled with some of her lovely orange marmalade. There wasn't thing to do but repeat my It. tie ruse, and that time I gave her spced gooseberrles. Then back she came with some of her precious tutti- frutti, and we've kept 1t up ever since.
