Just as one Tying in London goes to see the Tower or nightly haunts the Strand or Piccadilly circus, so no one dwelling in Paris is forever on the Boulevards or at the Cafe de la Paix. And who would care to spy often upon the nakedness of the dance macabre, in the halls and cafes of Montmartre?

 Lottery Among Chinks.

New Orleans.-Gee Hen, a slant eyed laundryman, appealed to Assist ant Chief of Detectives Mouney the other day to help him get prize of $4.2OO he said he won in Chinese lottery, displaying to the detective a square of paper the size of bandanna handkerchief with hieroglyphics there on. Always hunting for lotteries, Mr. Mouney asked the first three Chinese he saw what the Chinese hieroglyphics meant. "Ne non no, me non mo-" was all the answer he got. Gee Hen charg- ed Jung Yet with refusing to pay over the prize money and the detective went to Jung and displayed the paper. Jung Yet blandly smiled an Orient al smile and said. very simply:
 "Laundly ticket.
 The police are still on the hunt for the lottery, but Jung Yet languishes in prison.

Paris is to me one of the most melancholy of the worlds great cities.

WOMAN'S CURIOSITY
 DERIVED FROM MAN
Pr. Anna Shaw Says Sterner Sex Has
 More 0i li.

Garden City, L.. I.-Appointive abil- ity, feminine curiosity and sensation alism Were among the topics with which pr. Anna Shaw entertained a distinctly anti-sullra2e crowd at an open air meeting at the Coutrv Life press at this place recently | With her We're the other members of the party who are makina the wnirl- Wind campaign from Brooklyn to Mon- tauk Folnt. II Was evident that the suffra3ists Were ditsdtl ointed in the size of the crowd. winch was not large and made up of fashionably dressed women, most Of whom arrived ill auto mobiles, and prosperous looking men.
 The crusaders particularly wanted to reach the I69 men and women working in the Press, but they did not come.
 Says Joke iS OH Women.
 For the last many ages women have been brought up by man." began pr. Shaw, with humorous glint as she surveyed the little scattering of spectators, masculine gender. "They have been brought up to know that to want more than just so much curios- lty. And that so much was limited to what the men thought it wise for them to know
 "They have been forever reminded that Eyes desire for apples in the gar den of Eden Came through curiosity and that it was her determination to find out how they tasted which caus- ed the trouble
 ''For the last forty years I have frN ttlrr i,N,J dow when there was something really worth seeing, but am short and so far 1 have never succeeded for the crowd of men who stood in front of me shut off the view
 Curiosity Called Research.
 If there was hole in the street connected with construction work, and 1 wanted to see what they were doing, l have never been able to for the crowd of men which hedsed it in. With me it was curiosity; with them it was research and desire for knowledge"
 pr. Shaw emphasized the fact that women are valuable as inspectors of buildings in which women work and over labor they produce because they have a peculiar understanding not possible to a man.
 She spoke of some welfare work in Washington, and the intention of Col. Roosevelt to give the appointment to woman.
 When you make that appointment, l said,' stated Dr. Shaw, don't give it to woman who has friend WnO is sister of the brother Of some poli- tlcal boss. He assented, and when he made it he gave it to ono of the worst political bosses l ever knew.
 EmOtiOnalisM.
 "They talk about emotionalism in women, she went on, "but never in my life have seen a crowd of women shriek and yell as those men did at the Baltimore convention The only people who were able to keep their seats throughout were the two women delegates from Washington.
 ''One of the greatest difficulties" she went on, Gin getting the vote is that the men are so nice to us. We so to- them with a petition, they lis ten, are pleasant and promise tc think it over. Then they show us the door, and we have to withdraw. We have been withdrawing for the last fifty years. We are adept at it now
