Paris.-Quite a sensation has been
created in fashionable circles here by
the accounts of the exciting affair
which has occurred at the Imperial
Country Club at Nice. A matinee
dansante was being given the other
afternoon, and as many as 500 people
well known in society were present
when the Marquis de Montebello went
I'D to a tea table at which Baron j.
Meyronnet de Saint-Marc was seated,
In company with several ladies, and
tapping him on the shoulder, said:

This was the, signal for an even
more exciting scene. So indignant
were the people seated at the neigh
boring tables at M. de Montebello'a
conduct that they literally went for
him. Servants followed suit, and even
ladies joined in the attack, some fling
ing teacups at him, one of which
caught the head waiter in the hand
injuring it severely. AT last, after
having been soundly belabored, the
Marquis de Mentebello succeeded II

Commenting on the cost OF books a
Harvard man remarks that Wnlie
modern reprints of standard literary
works can be obtained at moderate
prices, volumes of more strictly con-
temporaneous interest are now habl-
tually held at an unduly high price.
AS consequence college students
and others of moderate means are de-
tered from owning, aside from pre-
scribed textbooks, such volumes as
they need most, says the Rochester
Post-Express. 1t is explained that with
the exception Of prospective best

1000 copies could be sold, however low
the price, whereas there are at least
800 municipal and collegiate libraries.

will be better business, In his opinion,
to sell 300 copies at SIS each than 5000
copies at $1.25. Size Of type, page,

much toward giving the appearance OF
value. tt Is also observed that the

Wild game birds are the property OF
all citizens, under the Roman and con-
tinental law. On this principle Of COM
mon ownership the states Of this coun-
try have enacted their laws. But
what Of birds that alight but a short
time within one state, then fly to an
other, and to yet other states? Are
they not the property of the people
Of the Union? Because no state cares
for them, the migratory birds Of the
United States are going the way Of
the great aux, the passenger pigeon
and the parrokeet, says the New
York Times. William S. Saskell OF
the American Game Protection and
Propagation association argued before
the senate committee that. though the
title to the migratory birds has never
been adtudicated, common sense
would suggest that 1t belongs to the
federal government, and the authori
ties at Washington should give ample
protection to this fast vanishing wild
life.

ANCIENT NURSING BOTTLES

articles In common use the world over
which have come down to modern
peoples from prehistoric times. A
French archaeologist, M. Nicaise,
while exploring a neo1ithic deposit

that was quite intact, and which had

was still in barbaric state. This is
not, however, the only specimen which
has come down from the early ages.
