VALUABLE FIND.

Remarks a Paris correspondent
"The things that are lost and found
in Paris would fill a volume. You
may pick up bomb in the street or
find small baby in a bandbox, as
did a policeman recently at one of
our big shops. A Miss Julia O'Con-
nor found more agreeable treasure
trove in the guise of a coronet of
pearls, which she incidentally picked
up in the street. She took it at once
to the police station and nearly
tainted with surprise when she
found that her honesty was to be
rewarded to the tune of 5000, the
value of the coronet being 10000
francs ($6,OOO)."

A SNAKES LEAP"

Nor, again, Mr., Robinson points
out, is it true that a snake ever
rleaps" at its foe or prey. Except
the cobra, no snake can raise more
than third Of its length from the
ground, though there are instances
in which rattlesnakes, probably un-
consciously have gained an extra
leverage from a wall of rock immedi-
ately behind them, and 50 struck fur
ther than the ordinary range.-Lon-

RUBBING IT in ON HORSE

al do not own a garage" the city
salesman said. "1 do not even own

sequently have nothing authorita-

but if my voice did carry any weight
/ would insist that the good-luck
horseshoes over garage doors be TAX
en- down. In the capacity of inquis-
itor have gone into dozens Of gar
ages lately and nearly everywhere /
have seen horseshoe above the door.
Maybe the proprietors might have
found some good-luck emblem more
inappropriate, but / doubt it. Can
not the geniuses who turn out inn
proved models Of motor cars invent
suitable emblem Of their own?
After having done their best to. ex-
terminate the horse it looks like rub
bing it in to use one of his shoes as
an amulet. 1 am not familiar enough
