MARIE ANNE, NOT MARIANNE.
How Compromise Satisfied French Law
and Child's Parents.

An amusing story of compromise is
mentioned in a Paris contemporary, says
the London Globe. 1t seems that the
law of France requires parents to name
their children either after the saints in
the calendar or from a parsonage in his
tory. A citizen of Troyes went to the
register to inscribe the name of his little
daughter, whom he wished to be known
as Marianne.
The registrar adjusted his spectacles,
scratched his head and then declared it
was impossible. Marianne did not COM
ply with either the requirements. FL
nally the matter was arranged to the
satisfaction of both the parent and the
registrar. To the child was given the
name of Marie Anne. To the parents it
was almost what they wanted and the
law was satisfied.

Apple Graft on Haw Tree.

Modern Flour and Dentistry.

A dental surgeon expresses the opin-
ion in the Dundee Advertiser that the
chief cause of the increase of dental
troubles in recent years is that the
bread now general. used is made from
roller ground -four. He writes: "Some
years ago l discovered that there is an
increase of about 20 per cent. during
mastication in the acidity of bread pro-
duced from roller flour, whereas there is
no such increase when the bread is com
posed of stone-made flour. Further, /

The Russian ministry of commerce has
prepared an elaborate plan providing for
the general Improvement of all the sea-
ports of the empire at a. cost of $11O,-
S96,237. The amounts which it is
planned to. expend at Baltic ports aggre-
gate $14,O11 ,S62. This is large amount
of money, but Russia will get more in re-
turn for it than if she were to spend it
all in the race for naval supremacy.
Navies can be obtained fast enough when
nations are prosperous; and the only
way in which prosperity can be secured
is by enterprise such as that indicated in
the determination to give Russia seaports
that will accommodate the commerce of
the world.

Constructors of irrigation works, many
of whom are now actively and extensive
~ engaged on western enterprises, have
a warning in the bursting of a irrlga-
ton dam twenty-eight miles west of
Fort Morgan, Colorado, and the delug-
ing of swath of country half mile
wide in which damage to the extent
of half million dollars was inflicted
in comparatively short time. Theoreti-
cal engineering may invite trouble in
cases where immense dams are required
to impound the waters necessary for
successful irrigation; and the government
of the United States is now engaged in
the construction of gigantic dams in
mountain gorges that will be converted
into deep lakes.

A motorcyclist has broken the worlds
speed record for vehicles of that kind
by circling the stadium at Springfield,
Massachusetts, at mile gait of 45 20
seconds. Speeding in confined quarters
for exhibition purposes may be all right,
but imitators who try to break rec
ords on the public roads at the risk
of breaking necks are not to be encour-
aged. The motorcycle is now a more
conspicuous offender, for the number in
use. than the automobile.

The large plant to be erected at
Wells. Michigan, for the extraction of
fannie acid from helnlock bark, repre-
sents an improvement in the process Of
tanning which has established economies
in the manufacture of leather and en-
.abled tanners to sell their product at
lower figures. Formerly the tan bark
was shipped in sail and steam vessels
TO the various tanneries, where it was
ground up and subjected to treatment
for the extraction of the tannic acid
while the process of tanning was at the
same time in progress. By extracting
the fannie acid close to the hemlock for
'ssts the cost of handling and shipping
the bark is saved. Most of the big
tanneries of the country have already
adjusted themselves to the new order
of things, and the old bark process is
now in vogue only where sole and belt
lng leather are made.

Island is a good idea. That section
ought to have bathing facilities for both

the use of safe boats, and keeping some
