Ten Million Snails.

The epicurean taste of the people or
Paris requires annually 100000
snails. Formerly when Burgundy was
happy and not sulphuretted by the vine
growers It sent to Paris the greater
part Of these 100000 snails demand
ed by the palates Of the great city.
But since Burgundy IL struggling
against the diseases that visit ito vines
and Is obliged to use sulphates 1t Is
able to furnish only 100000 snails. The
sulphates cure the vines but kill the
snails. When this reduction IA the
production Of "snails In Burgundy"
came about the Germans did not tail to
profit by the situation ana threw upon
the Paris market, az q French pager
says. heavy squadrons Of int white

and interruptions French dealers buy
empty white shells into which thaV put

4 PRESIDENTIAL "sTRAw
VOTE" or UNION LABOR.

The Literary Digest of New
York, a non-partisan magazine,
has taken a straw vote of many
labor unions over the country in
an effort to find how these
unions will vote this year.
The initial striking feature of
this investigation is that out of
457 labor officials reporting, 1872
say that their members favor Mr..
Wilson; forty-seven find their
voters are for Mr.. Benson, the So
cialist candidate, and forty-three
report sentiment favoring Mr..
Hughes. The findings Of thirty
four officials reveal either a non
committal attitude or sentiment
evenly divided and it is interest
ing to note that the ratio of re-
phys was much the same all thru
the three weeks of incoming re-
plies.
This surely is significant of the
sentiment of the laboring people,
ut least as nearly every industry
in the country is represented in
thus straw vote.
