 Comfortably seated in railroad coach of the first class. functionary of a pre-. lecture was studying a report. He was furnished with a lead pencil and was making notes. Suddenly he was ad- dressed by 8 traveller.
 Monsieur, I am travelling inspector of police. Will you permit me to look at that pencil?'
 The inspector examined the pencil and put it in his pocket T shall seize it. he said. Tt comes from the house of Hardtmuth. a German house."
 The traveller protested and stated his occupation.
 T regret this," said the inspector Give me your name, your address, and I shall have you reimbursed the value of your pencil in eight days by the gen. eral treasury of your department"
 Commenting on this Le Cri de Paris says that the esteemed employees of the department treasury will not fail to send in a few months five centimes (about 1 cent to the owner of the pencil-and how much paper was wasted to effect this reimbursement!
