 Paris, January s.-(special )--When the mistress of wealthy house in the quar- ter of the Champs Elysees hired ser- want boy the other day she was far from thinking that she was taking lost son of her husband into her service The employment agency, looked healthy and chubby with his red cheeks, and was fresh from the country.
 You will suit,'' said the mistress of the house, and ordered nice livery for him at once, with metal buttons and braid. The boy had been warmly rec commended by his foster parents in the country, who had brought him up, and who were very anxious that he should be we'll treated. He was such good boy, they wrote in a letter, and they would always consider him as their own child
 The mistress of the house told her hus- band about the boy in the evening, and how pleased she was with him; but when she mentioned his name her husband be- came absorbed in deep thought. When still very young he had had a love affair with a pretty midinette, whom he had even hoped to marry, but his parents ob- jected. A boy was born, and for seven years he paid for his maintenance in the country. The mother then died, and he lost trace of the boy, and when time went by and he got married he forgot him al- together.
 The new servant boys name. however, brought back old memories to him. He quietly stole to the kitchen and questioned the boy: What was your fathers name?"
 q never knew him. answered the boy ''The name I bear is my mothers"
 ''Who brought you up?"
 Good people in the country" he said "who are my foster-parents"
 There was no doubt left. The boy had been reared by the very people to whom the father had regularly paid the monthly sum for seven years, and his mothers name revealed the rest
 "If I told you that you were my son you would not believe mel" he said to the astonished lad, as he took him into his arms and kissed him.
 There was a short conversation be tween husband and wife. and a few min utes later the boy was summoned to the parlor. where the mistress of the house also received him with open arms and told him that hereafter he would also be her son.
 The order for a servants livery was at once cancelled. and instead a college boys uniform was given, which the boy is now wearing, and instead of running on messages, he is one of the pupils at a lycee. His newly adopted mother is almost happier than the father, as she had no children of her own.
 The police have just arrested couple of Tta1fa0s who roa1a a comforts ble live ing by circulating spurious postage stamps Six months ago a letter, which bore a sham stamp, was confiscated, and the writer, when summoned before po- lice commissary. declared that he bought 1t at tobacco shop. The shop attend ant admitted that she lent an Italian DO francs, who deposited with her several thousand stamps as security. As he di not pay the loan on the date agreed upon she put the stamps into circulation. An inquiry led to the arrest of two Italians last night In a portmanteau which one of the men carried were 2S1, 900 spurious stamps.

 At the back of house in the Rue de Courcelles there is an animals paradise It was created by the late Mile. Grand jean. an elderly spinster, who left her for fune to the city after providing for her animal pets. She was lover of animals of all kinds, and so that those in her nossession in the time of her death sbould not be sold or killed for the table. she left money to keep them in luxury until they died of old age.
 The old spinster's hens. dogs, pigeons. canaries, doves. larks, partridges, and auails have comfortable-one may say ,xurious-auarters in the back garden.
  togatbe,. there are 200 animals and birds. The old servant is given sum monthly for their maintenance
 The money to be spent daily on the dogs and hens is expressly stipulated by Mile. Grandjean. Each dog Is expected to have 35 cents spent on hlm, and eacn hen 20 cents. By the old lady's will the city of Paris must not do away with the animals and birds.
 Their guardians soft job depends on the length of the life of the pets He IS naturally desirous that they small i've as long as possible. As a puppy dog made his appearance shortly before Mile. Grandjeans death, he considers that his tenure of office is good enough for IS or 20 years. Meanwhile he Is taking care that the food supplied to the pets Is aoove suspicion
