French, "Thotel des Trois Maures."

1t was In this hostelry, too, that Marie
Antoinette put up or her way to
France to become the wife of the
dauphin. Over the Intel OF the "Trois

France in commemoration Of the
event. Now the inn and the lilies have
disappeared in another such cataclysm
as swept Marie Antoinette to the gull
lotine, some hundred and twenty-odd
years ago.

Yanka Like French Souvenirs.

Yankee soldiers are keeping the
French shops busy these days. Sou
venirs of France and various regions
and cities Of France are all the go.
Among these souvenirs are brooches
bearing the arms of different cities.
The head Of the famous Lion Of Bel
fort, the statue of Bartholdi, the
sculptor who designed TIE goddess Of
Liberty, is another favOrite. The Lor-
faine cross has also proved very popu-
lar with the Yanks. This symbol has
two sets Of cross arms instead Of one.
1t appeals particularly to the Ameri-
cans because Of the part which the
Yanks played in Lorraine during the
war. The Red Cross dog and the
lucky white elephant charm are other
French souvenirs which the Ameri-
cans are procuring in large numbers
to take back to the States.-FrOm The
Spiker, France.

MEANS END OF ALL THINGS
Number 49," Originally Newspaper
Symbol, Has Come to Have Sig
nif1cance Of Dire import.

BY frequent reference to It, noted
by newspaper readers, doubtless the
meaning Of that cabalistic symbol 40"
has become familiar to many, but this
incident and explanation is printed in
connection with the obsequies OF Sir
Wilfrid Laurier, in the Montreal La
Patrie. "What does that signifyr'
was asked by thousands who filed past
the casket of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and
had remarked the bouquet of flowers
upon which lay the symbol "3O' in red
figures. This floral tribute was given
by members of the press gallery in the
Dominion parliament. For them this
number means the same as the words
which the great departed pronounced
some days after being stricken by his
malady: 1T is ended" (C'est fini.)
The origin Of this conventional symbol
has been lost In the traditions of jour.
nalism, but after each night and at
the end of every day the conventional
30" traversed the continent from end
to end. Editors in time adopted the
sign "3O' to inform the staff, the
various news departments and the
composing room that all the copy"
was finished and that there would be
nothing additional. Finally, for news
paper men, the number 80" became
the symbol Of the end Of all things OF
earth, and even of life.

to supply US with the artillery equip

G. P. F. guns from their own factories

this course was fully demonstrated by
the fact that, although we soon began

guns at home, there were no guns Of
American manufacturers OF the calibers

types produced at home which reached
