unpicked Grapes Go to the Poor.

A curious old law, which dates from
1879, has been used to sentence the
owner Of vineyard at Capestang,
near Beziers, France, to a fine and
costs for picking her own grapes. She
was picking the grapes which had been
left on the vines in her vineyard after
the fall gathering, when the policeman
told her that she was committing an
offense against the law, as all, grapes
left on the vines after the harvest
were the property of the poor. The
court at Beziers confirmed the police
mans opinion, and the woman was
convicted.

Nothing could be learned as to
whether the cable was received or not.
Many of the local Chinese merchants

nothing. Chu Gem said that it was
