QUAINT LEGEND OF ALsAcE
Race Of Giants Who Saw Importance
to Them of the Food
Producers.

There. is quaint old legend of AL
SAGE, recalls the Christian Science
Monitor, concerning a family of giants
who, once upon time, lived in a GER
tain castle In the old country. The
moral of the story seems appropriate
at time when the French minister of
agriculture Is making special effort to
encourage the cultivation of land.
The giants lived, says the legend,
far from the peasants of the plain,
and one day the daughter of the
house who, though quite a child, was
already 80 feet high, strolled toward
the plain and saw laborer peacefully
plowing his field. She picked up the
peasant, the horse and the plow, and
put them in her pinafore and returned
to the castle to show what she had
found to her father.
"What you think is but a toy" said
the giant. ''is what produces the food
which enables us to live. Put back
the laborer and his horse where you
found them" From that time on
ward, adds the tale, the peasants were
never molested by the giants.

SMALL SUM FOR "cAMlLLE"
Alexandra Dumas Fills Received Only
$50 for Manuscript OF Great
Story.

In the Hotel Drouot recently, the
library Of Jules Claretie, the eminent
French journalist, novelist, dramatic
author and former director of the
Comedie Francaise, who died in 1915,
was sold. Among other gems, his coll
lection of books included the manu-
script Of Alexandra Dumas Fills 'Tale
of q Lottery" sixteen pages in all, pub
lished in 1851. The manuscript con-
tanned letter from Dumas to Jules
Claretie, informing the latter that for
these sixteen pages he was paid the
sum of S240.
IT was almost as much ashamed as /
was pleased" writes Dumas, ito re-
ceiye this amount. 1t was far more
than / was paid for my entire manu-.
script of La Dame aux Comelllas,
which sold to Michel Levy for the
sum Of $50.
This novel, which Michel Levy pur-
chased for $50, yielded the latter $780,
600. Long after he had signed it,
Dumas regretted this contract which
enriched his publisher at so slight a
profit to himself.

Bugs In France.

In the reign of Louis-Philippe,
Monsieur Terrat had been charged
with the duty Of fighting bugs in the
barracks OF Paris. 1t must be believed
that the result was satisfactory. since
by virtue of an order of the general
inspector contracts were made in 1S46
with Monsieur Terrat for the destruc-
ton of these frightful insects. Mon
sieur Terrat demanded 90 centimes for
each sleeping room. In case the first
fight with the bugs was not decisive,
and If he should have to begin again
after some years, the second operation
should cost only 80 centimes room.
Moreover, In these operations he de-
gtroyed thu insects In the arms-rack.
