A Lancashire collier who went

strolled by chance into a fashion
able hairdresser's saloon in the
neighborhood Of Piccadilly. Hav-
ing enjoyed a. society haircut and
shave, relates London Nt-Bits,
the newer of black diamonds was

upon the extraordinary number of
flies which were sporting about in
the saloon, to the annoyance Of
the h%airdresser and his customers.
The scissors,wielder replied that
they were a perfect nuisance, and
that he would give anything if he
would get rid Of them.
The man from Lancashire said
he would tell him for a modest
two shillings how to do it. The
form changed hands when the
miner told the barber to catch the
flies, cut their hair, shave them,
and charge them a couple Of "bob"
for the job. He did not think they
would return. The giver of the
advice then vanished.

ter.
AS a matter Of fact, prairie
chickens are not migratory birds,
but the chickens in this part of
the country seem to be adapting
themselves to conditions. This
country is being settled up closely
and put under the plow, and the
birds want wilder territory where
their young will be safer than in
a well-settled locality. Then in
the winter the birds come back to
the cultivated country because
there is plenty of food in the fields.
Last year the attention of
sportsmen was attracted by the
great focks of chickens that came
in from the northwest in the duck
season. 1t was the first time they
ever saw chickens migrating. A
flock was seen near Americas
which was said to have had 400
chickens in it. Last winter there
were a number of focks of chick
ems within four miles of town,
which was an unusual thing. The
birds were supposed to have come
in from western Kansas to get the
benefit of the plentiful supply OF
kaffr corn, which the chickens rel

AMERICAN LAW IN PARIS.
Course Proposed for Study in Uni.
varsity Including Commercial
and Banking Laws.

Evidence of the growing inter-
est in France in American fnan.
cial matters generally has recent-
ly been given in the form of a sug-
gestion made by the faculty Of
the law school of the University
OF Paris, that a course in Ameri-
can law, including commercial
and banking law, be established in
that school. This suggestion,
coming as it does at a time when
special efforts are being made in
some quarters to familiarize the
French public with American in.
vestments, is seemingly very
timely, and its adoption would
probably not be without practical
results, says the New York Times.
As matters stand, if the sugges-
ton is acted upon, it will be neces-
sary for Americans to provide the
needed funds for the establish
ment of such a course at least for
the first year, after which the
course may be included in the reg
ular budget of the university. In
another school of the same univer-
sity, with the cooperation of Mr..
James 81. Hyde, a course in Amer
lean literature has already been
provided for, and it is thought
that the work in this direction
might %proftably be extended to in
clude a course that would make
European lawyers more familiar
with. American law governing
commerce and banking. This
law school has 5000 Students, say
seven times as many as u larg-
est school, and they are drawn
from every country in Europe.
The effect Of such instruction
upon such a large and influential
body of opinion could not fail to
be Of interest and value here as
we'll az there. The invitation to
deliver the initial lectures has
already been given to an Amer
lean who has discharged similar
duties in an American university.
and whose writings on American
economic topics have been widely
copied and are influential. But
the permanency Of the establish
ment may be said to depend in
some degree upon the interest
and support shown here to the
French initiative.

FEW TOP BOOTS NOW WORN
1vso Cowboys and Miners Have HAksa
10 Laced Footwear Of
the Hast.

The old-time top boot il fast dis
appearing from the face of the
earth. Eventhe miners of the west,
among whom a pair of ordinary
shoes used to be as rare as SOM
breros on Broadway, are abandon
ing them, says the New York Sun.
Eight O ten years ago the
young mining experts, fresh from
the eastern colleges used to come
into camp with hob-nailed laced
boots. This style of footwear was
at first scorned as the mark of the
tenderfoot and dude.
Then a few miners tried laced
boots just for fun, and found the
fashion a sensible one. Laced
boots brace the ankles for climb
ing and can be taken of without a
bootjack. They fit more snugly
all round and are less likely to
chafe.
So the miners began to take
them up. Now the old-time boot
is rare in the mining regions.
Even the few cowboys left in
the west are taking to laced boots.
There was a time, in the heydav
Of the COW country, when a special
grade of fine, high-heeled, thin
soled boot was manufactured
solely for the cowboy trade, since
cowboys we're always very vain
about their footwear. But with
the decadence of their trade the
cattlemen have lost their small
vanities, and a full half of them
ride in the more comfortable laced
boots. So is the old top boot, once
worn bymost city men, vanquished
in its last stronghold.

kURoPATkIN HAD HIS WAY.
Incident Which illustrates Peeh-
nAcdty Of nussia's Great MI
ttaxy Commands.

In 1856, when Gen. Kuropatkin
was only an obscure lieutenant,
be went to the chief Of his battal-
ion and asked to be sent along
with the expedition to Kokand,
which at the time was being pre-
pared. After meeting with a fat
refusal, relates a London paper,
he addressed himself to his COM
rades, who, according to Russian
usage, elected him paymaster,
with the hope that the new dis
tincti6n would procure the chiefs
consent. They then went en- masse
to ask that their lieutenant be
sent, according to his desire,
along with the expedition to Ko-
kand; but the chief was as firm
as ever. Kuropatkin accompan-
led them on the mission, but when
they departed he remained in the
hall like a sentinel on guard.
Two hours later the chief hap
pened to discover him there, and
sternly demanded what he meant.
III am waiting for you to send me
to Kokand," coolly replied Kuro-
patkin.
"Never. You understand?
Never" stormed the chief, angri-
ly, as he turned away.
Eighteen hours afterward the
chief, in passing, found Kuropat-
kin still standing in the same
place.
well, the devil take you," he
exclaimed, softly. "What can
anyone do with a head like yours?
Since there's no way to keep you
from going, 60 on. The army has
need of officers like you; as for
paymasters, l can find them any
where"
