ing merry evening with some men friends in Paris when an argument arose Will you bet on it?" asked the deputy's opponent.
 Yes, anything you like" was the reply.
 Very we'll then,7 came the an swer, T will wager my mOustache against your beard that I am right"
 The deputy was proved to be wrong, and in the cooler mood of the following morning he found him self obliged to go to barber and sacrifice his patriarchal beard.
 Two days later he was due to speak in his constituency His ap- pearanre caused a sensation. At first his constituents did not recog- .nize the lean-faced, bare checked speaker who stood upon the plat form. The strongly nationalist sec ton of the constituency considers that a French politician ought to be bearded. and folds that to shave the face like an American is an indica tion of anti patriotic tendencies.
 An unfounded suggestion that the deputy's beard was sacrificed through the wiles of a Delilah has added to the humor of the incident, and in view of the appearance Of a rival in the field for the first time, for the election in May, it is

aux has undertaken a task which all lovers of French scenery will appre- ciate-the preservation of some of the most beautiful tracts of country in France from the ugliness and de gradation which follow the advance of civilization-by converting them into national parks Already a park called the Park of La Berarde has been formed in the heart of the Alps of the Dauphine with an area of 37500 acres. With the assistance of the ministry of agriculture another 3S,500 acres will be added to this reserve, and will carry it's boundar- ies as far as Mount Pelvoay. This park will serve as an object lesson of the restorative and regenerative powers of nature when protected from the destroying forces of man. kind, and the association is issuing aneloquent appeal for further sup port to enable it to carry on it's campaign. This reserve, it hopes, will be the first of series of sim liar parks in various parts of France which will preserve unim- paired the beauties of nature.
 The question of how Paris would

fare in the case of a declaration of war was recently thoroughly eX- amined, and has resulted in the dis covery that within three days of mo- bilization the city would be practi- cally without provisions. Consequent ly it has been decided immediately to constitute an enormous stock of flour for the entrenched camp of Paris the only point remaining to be settled being who will pay whether the state or the city itself. A special plenary meeting of the municipal council will be held, to which the military governor of Paris and other army chiefs are also invited, to confer on this sub ject in private.
 The only extraordinary feature of the case is that Paris should all these years have been exposed to the danger of almost instant starva- tion in case of war without anybody appearing to be alarmed at the prospect.

hoped that the wager will not result
 in the deputy losing his seat as well
 as his beard
 l The discussion as to what is a
 sardine nas revealed the extent to
 which the French sardine preservers have suffered from the compe-
 tition of the larger Spanish and Portuguese fish and the small smoked Norwegian variety of sar- dine. Last year it became evident that the French industry along the north and northwest coast was | threatened with extinction. The fish
 ermen. under the influence of syndi
 calist agitators. have refused to adopt modern methods of catching sardines on the ground that increas- ed catches would result in their ob-
 taining a much lower price than they do now for their days work. Throughout the past year the French government has endeavored to patch up the differences between the fish
 ermen and the preservers, but with

 putes. but their action has been com pletely without result The sardine
 preserves have now decided that un- less they are authorized to use more efficient nets, to fit the fishing
 smacks with motors, and to use i'm proved ground bait they will close their factors and abandon the in
 dustry. Already several important firms have started establishments in

 A bill dealing with the enforce ment of attendance at elementary national schools and with the de-
 fense of the "Ecole laique' has been passed by the chamber of deputies and will pass the senate.
 Among the questions which have been most keenly debated was that of the punishment to be inflicted upon the head of family who in cited his children not to submit to instructions or to use the textbooks | of the national schools The bill l substitutes a fine for imprisonment | in such cases, and an amendment ac- ! cepted by the government enacts | that these fines are not recoverable 1 by writ of arrest in cases where the | person who incurs the penalty pays | less than $120 of rates and taxes
 and can produce a certificate of | destitution. Another veXed question was that of the authority which | should select the school books. The | selection will rest with central | body, the superior council of public | instruction.
 M Viviani, minister of public in | structiOn, said that the present law | must be followed by other import | ant measures if France was not to l lag behind the rest of Europe in the
 matter of national education There | would have to be, above all, meas ure dealing with continuation schools It was disgrace that every year there should be 24,000 conscripts who were unable to read or write It was, moreover. import ant that after leaving the element ary national schools children should not be exposed to other educational ] influences which tended to eradicate the republican principles which had been installed into their minds.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-The telephone has just proved very useful to a thief and to the police who succeeded in arresting him. A few days ago a Paris wine merchant was rung up on the telephone by a man who posed as one of his best customers. The supposed customer said that he was obliged to go into the country un- expectedly and could not get any money as the banks were closed. Would the wine merchant let him

have $100? He would send his chauffeur around in his motor car to get the money.
 The wine merchant at once agreed, and when a car drove up to his premises he handed the $100 to the driver, who went away.
 About two days later the same man, again posing as the customer, rang up the wine merchant to say he had returned to Paris and wanted a further $40 till the next morning Would the wine merchant hand it to his chauffeur as before?
 Certainly" was the reply of the wine merchant, who, however, had by this time seen the real customer and had learned that he had been swindled by an impostor
 He telephoned to the police and two detectives were sent to his house. They followed the chauffeur and arrested a man in the act of receiving the money from him.
