BARS REPLACE
FAMOUS CAFES OF PARIS

I believe that Theophile Gautier,
in one of his celebrated boutades, said
something to the effect that the cafe
responds to a necessity for public life
which naturally substitutes itself for
the humdrum family existence of
which one has become tired.
And after all, it is the only place
where one can really smoke.
I once heard a man who was bit
of wag state that the cafe is an ex-
cellent place for family quarrels, be-
cause If they happen in the privacy
of ones home nobody but the parties
involved can enjoy them.
Both might have added that certain
beverages have peculiar way of los
ing their flavor when consumed else
where than in a cafe. Among such
might be classed "bocks" and "speri-
tifs.' Now, it is n recognized fact
that these last mentioned are, nine
times out of ten, extremely harmful
to the stomach, and certainly do lit
tie or nothing toward stimulating the
appetite or aiding digestion. On the
contrary. they often prevent both.
Nevertheless, few Parisians can re-
sst the temptation of interrupting
their afternoon stroll, and they are
soon installed with their favorite mix
ture in front of them.

EVEN LAWYERS ERR

Remarkable as it may seem, some
of the biggest legal mistakes in
drafting wills have been made by
lawyers. Judge Bacon. whose prop
erty was valued at f11S,40S, wrote
his legacies on a sheet of court paper,
but, though he was an expert in law,
he forgot to sign his own altera tions
to his will. An affidavit from a So
licitor and an official of the Blooms
bury Court was necessary before
matters We're set right Lord St. Hell
Ter and Lord Grimthorpe both failed
to make proper wills. The latter's
will was a document of over IL, 900
words. but in the matter of lengthy
wills this was beaten by Edward
Bush, Gloucester engineer, who re-
quired 10000 words before he was
satisfied with his provisions. He had
an estate of f114,s13. At the other
end of the scale is the twelve-line
will of Lord Russell, of Halloween,
who in that space set his seal on
100000. Lord Brampton took 400
words to dispose of $4,000, while
Lord Mansfield used only half a sheet
of note paper, and a good second was
Alphonse Henry Strauss, who be-
aueathed f29s.221 in forty three words.

Steps are now being taken to raise

FARM LAND GIVEN IN
EGYPT TO FELLAHEEN


Lord Kitchener laid the foundation
stone of an agricultural school in
the Egyptian Delta and initiated a
scheme for the distribution of land
which has become available for cul-
tivation through drainage. As an en-
pertinent go feddans Cor acres) were,
distributed in five-feddan lots TO the
landless fellaheen (peasants), the idea
being to help the poor fellaheen, and
at the same time TO increase the
number Of small landholders and to
create family homesteads.
During the first three years, when
they must do work of reclamation,
the fellaheen will receive the land
practically free, and in the follow
ing ten years they will pay a mod
crate rental, after which the holding
becomes theirs for life. Afterward
the land descends in the families if
the government approves. Alienation
is forbidden, except With the consent
of the state.

A painful light is thrown on the
wretched. conditions Of life in the re-
mote Highlands and Scottish Islands
in a report recently issued on the
medical service there, The popula-
ton IS sparse, and many of the in
habitants live from twenty to thirty
miles from the nearest doctor.
In addition, the country is rugged.
roadless and mountainous, and when
the weather is bad travel is often i'm
possible. AS a consequence, cases are
mentioned where patients have to
wait in pain a fortnight and even
longer for the doctor. A Dr. Mac
donald got the hero's medal for cross
ing a hill at the risk of his life to
attend a patient, The bulk of the
people, too, are very poor. and a good
deal of doctors work has to be gra-
tuitous.
Houses are mere novels 'nof one
room, with damp walls, damp clay
floors and badly drained The at
mosphere is often smoky, and cattle
are housed under the same roof
Consequently the people suffer from
many ailments. And to add to this
pitiful state of affairs, belief in
Gaelic cures exists and strange Gus
toms are practised.
A witness from the remote island
of Roma (Skye), which a doctor rarely
visits, told OF ''cure" applied in the

CHINA, LIKE AMERICA,

China, like the United States, has a
Golden Northwest in which wheat
is the principal crop. The Provinces

to hundreds of feet. 1t seems to be
a very fine sand. full of organic re-
mains, and especially with numerous
thin tubes of eargonate OF lime, which
make the undisturbed loess extremely
solid.
Too porous for the cultivation of
rice, it becomes with plenty of rain
or irrigation one of the most prduc-
tive soils in the world. No fertilizers
are needed, and when the wheat crop
is cut the farmer spreads little
fress loess over the stubble, plows it
in and plants his fall crop, thus Sc
curing throughout the belt two crops

In Honan the chief winter crops are
wheat, barley, peas, beans, sweet po-
tatoes and rapeseed for oil. There fol-

hemp, while many fruits, berries, nuts,

immense fields of the opium bearing

NAVAL RESERVE NOT so
USEFUL AS SHOULD BE

1t seems peculiar that no great ef-
fort has ever been made by the gen.
eral government to encourage and
assist the several States to increase
the number of the naval brigade.
There are few towns of any size OIL
the seacoast, great rivers or lakes
where one or more full companies
could not be organized and kept up
at small cost.
A cheap boat-house and armory
room, a motor launch and suitable
artillery would attract a class of
young men who could give the time
necessary to boat drill and ball prac-
tise and would form a powerful naval
reserve as well as a strong and use
