 gambling in the clubs and casinos of the French resorts. In future, tax of 15 per cent is to be raised on the proceeds of gambling, and this money is to be devoted to charitable and public purposes.
 Only three games are to be per mitted and special permission to play them is to be asked of the Minister of Justice. The games are: Baccarat, ecarte and petits chevaux. The ac- counts are to be made up for each table and for each city and are to be kept in a special register authorized by the Finance Department by the management itself, the accounts be- ing properly audited at the end of each days proceedings.
 The proposed new Income Tax Law which was introduced last February, is now about to be reconsidered by the Chamber in its modified form. In the meanwhile the public indignation against the inQuisitorial methods con tained in it is growing into a loud chorus of indignant protest.
 The Chamber of Commerce in all the great industrial centres are pass ing resolutions expressing their dis gust at the measure in no measured terms, and the chief cause of the grievance is that the Fiscal agents are by the law allowed at any time, to enter mans house or business, look into his books, find out who his clients are and generally make of fensive inquiries.
 The Clemenceau Ministry is more likely to fall as the result of this de- tested bill even than on account of the present political situation. The enemies of the measure claim that it will entirely destroy the methods of economy and thrift for which France has always been famous.
 A society has now been formed in Paris to fight against NJ. Caillaux's measure called the Association d. Eudes Fiscales ct Sociales." Its campaign is to oppose utterly either the principle of personal attacks or a Fiscal InquisitiOn. which are contra IT to. the principles of the Revolu- tion of 17S9.
 At the same time it will seek means of improving the old taxes so as to Tighten the burden upon rural pro- prietors and will study the question of founding fresh taxes, which. with out making the worker suffer too much, will bring sufficient grist to the EXcheqer's mill in view of its new social legislation.
 In Paris Municipal Council a men, Der named Turot has just questioned the Prefect of the Sein as to the man. ner in which he proposes to support the building of cheap dwelling houses in the city.
 The French law does not allow the Municipality, as il does in some countries, to build workmans dwell ings on their own land, but it allows them to support and encourage pri- vate initiative. They can take shares in building societies up to thirds of the full amount. 4 law was also passed last year permitting the charity commissioners, or Assistance Publique. to use the fifth of it's in- come for the erection of cheap dwell ings, and the Prefect of the Seine is now asked to come to an understand ing with the Assistance Publiuue with view to the formation of a company to supply cheap dwellings in Paris, and to issue a loan of ten million francs to meet the expenses.
 The proposal was fayorably re- ceived and sent before a commission. The statistics of the Prefecture show that 37 per cent of the population of Paris is properly housed and IA per cent is lodged under conditions of excessive over-population.
 There are in the city thirteen thou sand and nine hundred and fifty-five lodgings with only one room in which there live from one to eight persons each. The consequent disease is ap- palling and the tendency to alcohol ism Is no less.
 The City of Paris, in the person of the Prefect of Police has just been condemned to pay ten thousand dol lars to the widows and orphans of a man who was accidentally knocked down and killed by the Municipal Fire Brigade. The fire engine was rushing off to a fire, when it ran over the man and fractured his skull. The operation of trepanning was per formed, but the mans mind gave way, and he had to be sent to a lun- atic asylum.
 The man died in the asylum with out having recovered his mental fac nlties. The money was equally di- vided between the widow and her daughter excepting a sum of 300 francs paid to the asylum for the ex- penses of the funeral
 At the last meeting of the French Academic des Inscriptions ct Belles Lettres in Paris, M. Leon Dorez made special reference to the recent pur- chases of MT. Pierpont Morgan. which he described.

It is sur rounded by the most beautiful minia- lures by Francesca dai Libri of Ve- roma and his son.
