A Psychological Paradox.

A ducks a stupid, waddling thing
And awkward as can be.
The bright hen moves with easy grace
And stately dignity.
Yet should you to your sweetheart say
To praise her you're a hen,"

The rudest were Of men.
But note her bushes rise; her face,
BY sweet confusion struck,
Joy beaming, should you to her say,
"You surely are duck!

prefecture OF police is about to removed
to the Caserne de Ia Cite. with its stocks
of 100000 heterogeneous articles. Ac-
cording to these figures one out of thirty
adult Parisians loses something every
day, and tho police depot was really
growing too small. There Is a story of
one particularly obliv!ous lady who lost
the same umbrella twenty-three times.
She went to fetch II twenty-five times.
but the twenty third time she was too
much ashamed to redeem II. However.
a few days later she thought she would
just go out of curiosity and see If her
umbrella were there. Sure enough 1t
was. and as all the employees by that
time knew her, one OF them said TO her
come and take your umbrella?" She had
to take IL the twenty third time. even
against her desire.
Other stories which the police have to
tell are scarcely less amusing. Loads Of
lost articles find their way TO the depot
