ona of tha siahta of Paris.

The Paris department stores are worse Jumbles even than the English department stores. When there is a special sale under way the bargain counters are rigged up on the side walks. There, in the open air, buyer and seller will chaffer and picker and wrangle and quarrel and kiss and make up again-for all the world to see. One of the free sights of Paris Is a frugal Frenchman with his face extensively haired over paving like Skye terrier through heap of marked down hn- gerie, picking out things for the female members of his household to wear, now testing some material with his tongue now holding personal article up in the sunlight to examine the fabric while his wife stands humbly, dumbIy by, waiting for him to complete his se- lect1ons.-Irving s. Cobb in Saturday Evening Post.

A naturalized citizen wants appears on his naturalization papers. MT. White explains that it cannot. be done because the papers are a court order which cannot be changed. An other may have only his first papers and would be turned back by the se- 1ecfmen. . Another may be an old voter who has returned to Bridgeport and wants to get his name on the list. A clerk who did not understand might send these men to the selectmen and they would there delay the process. In past years MT. White has given much valuable assistanc by weeding out those not entitled to be made and un- doubtedly the selectmen will appoint him to the position this years
 Those born here of foreign par entage and who attain their mai ajority here, can be made voters without any naturalization papers. provided they have lived in the city and state the required time.
 The data concerning all voters made is carefully preserved by the regis trars of voters and becomes part of the town records.
 The registrars are already receiving applicants to be made and the indica,- tfons4 are that a large nmuber will be added to the lists this year.

The story of the settlement of Tan gier island. in Chesapeake bay, as told by J. M Church in his book about the island and its isolated inhabitants, out does that of the famous sale of Man haitian:
 "You gentlemen ain't never heard how Tangier got settled? It were by a man from the eastern shore settle ments back in 1707-more'n POO years ago. The island were. the home of a tribe of Indians, and this here man Post got the idee of raisin' stock on it. So he runs over and tells the Indians that the ycolonists are goin' to come and massacre them and they'd better get oiifen the way. That scared the Indians. all right. and they sailed over to the western shore of Virginny. But before they went Post said. as the is land wasn't goin' to be any more use to lem, he'd buy it off them. The chief agreed. so Post gave him two old overcoats. and the island was hiss Then he brung over five families and a passeI O horses and cows"

PhysieaI Energy.

Perhaps you do not know 1t, but when you walk distance of ten miles you expend enough force, could it ba all collected. to raise 800 tons one foot from the ground. Of this enormous quantity of energy. the legs are respon- sible for 150 tons. the heart for 100, the lungs for twenty-two and the bulk of the remainder is wasted in the heat given off from the body.
 In severe athletic Competitions, such as running, rowing and boxing, you must be in such icondition as to be able to exert. by your limbs alone, each minute as much force as would lift 5000 pounds one foot above the ground.
 When powerful man works for twenty-four hours with all his might the energy he expends is equal to lift ing a third class cruiser. and during his life he dissipates enough power to carry his body at death to the sun. These statements may at first sight seem extraordinary. but will not seem so when it is remembered that two ounces of bread contains the potential energy of 15o tons.-Pearson's I ,.. sisz

The Koran.

Tn the London Everyman is a re- view of the Koran and It's author, Mo hammed. It is a one mans book and that man not an imaginative one, but essentially a man of action and lack ing in invention. The Koran is jun bled mass of precepts, doctrines, threats, injunctions, divine commands, narrative, lyric and epic poetry. It's heaven and hell are too material for modern thought. "Obviously.'f says Everyman. ''the Keran is meant not to be read with the eye. but to be re- cited, when the repetitdons are not nearly so pronounced. It reflects so- cial order. 8 system of ideas as re- mote from Rome, and more especially from Greece, as our own are from the North American Indian. But neither time nor evolution can utterly quench the flame of Mohammed's personality. which carried his followers to reckless eKcesses, to the sovereignty of em- pires, which created an art peculiar to Islam and founded age long tradi- tiOns''

Love of oossgp.

A One of the chief characteristics of the human race is 1nquisitiveness-not so much about things and places and ideas as about each other. Every proper person is a born gossip. and the accomplished scandal naonger is always welcome, provided, of course, his scandal is about others. You can test this at any time by considering who are the people you like best to meet and who are always surrounded by the greatest number of idle acquain- tances. Invariably you must be forced to the conclusion they are those who have made a business of acquiring in- formation about others and retailing their knowledge in various dressings. This love of gossip is further revealed in the kind Of books which claim the widest appreciation. You will find that these books are not poetry. drama. science or philosophy. They are nov els, memoirs, diaries. intimate histories, reco1lections, letters-all of them es- sential gossip (and sometimes scandaD appearing by their power to attract the gossiping sense which exists in all of us.-T. P.'s London Weekly.

aavases of Ants.

The ruins of splendid city on the north coast of Jamaica remain as evil dence of the devastation that red ants are capable of causing. An army of the insects invaded the city one day and drove away every living creature. animal and human, that could escape. Prisoners in the Jails and bedridden patients in the hospitals were deVOur- ed Not even rat or chinch bug re ma1ned alive.
 Tn Liberia and other parts of West Africa ant hills as large as native huts are found. The large black ant is the builder of that sort of home. Such ant bills are not unknown in this coun- try. although they are rarely so large: but the black ant rarely 1nvades houses. He is scavenger and is pro tected by most farmers.-Brooklyn Eagle
