Good cooking stove for sale! Once more the famous cooker used by the Bluebeard Landru is on the market. The man who bought it for 4,2OO francs at the public sale soon sold it to an Italian curio man for the sum of 10000 lire. He intended to exhibit it at Turin for two-franc entrance fee. But the police authorities inter- fered, decided that the stove was an object of scandal and refused him per mission to make fortune. Now he is looking for a buyer for the famous stove.

Policemen bold like knights of old will be wearing armored suits in the streets of Paris. So many shOotings of the police have been going on that the authorities have decided to pro- vide a sort of tunic covered in front with strips of chrome steel for the 'gendarmes" on dangerous duty. It will be thick enough to stop revol- yer bullet fired at close range and covers the chest, abdomen and upper part of the thighs, being fastened over the shoulders by braces. A gray can vas will cover the metal, which alto eether weighs about IA pounds. It is completed by small buckler which protects the head if the policeman has time to put it on.

"No walking on the ice" reads the freshly-painted warnings about the lakes in the Boise de Boulogne. The keeper of the famous Paris gardens had them put there in case there would be skating on the frozen ponds. Useless precaution, for there have been but one or two days of real Win ter weather which produced only thin layer of ice over the lakes. Aside from one day of snow flurries, one can scarcely believe that another Winter has passed. Rain has been plentiful, as usual, and there have been foggy days which remind one of good old London weather.
 And now it's Goodbye Winter and Hello Summer, for the chestnut roast CTS are moving back south and daf- fodils are making their appearance in the Paris streets. The flower vendors are beginning to carry them in big bundles on great sticks just as they have been gathered in the woods near the city. Cold winds are still likely to blow. Nevertheless the daffodils are here, and this means that Spring is not far away.

But it is not such an easy thing with these weighing ma chimes, which are more often than not con the blink" to put it mildly One tells you that you are gaining weight. Others refuse to tell you any thing at all, no matter how many coppers you drop in the slot. If one really wants to "know himself' he must go to the nearest pharmacy, where a dignified man in clean white smock will tell you your weight for the small sum of two sous and give you little memorandum with the date and weight marked in plain let ters.

PARIS, April 6.-At what age should a girl marry? This is the question that is being discussed in several large Paris newspapers. It is always a timely subject in France, where mar riage is considered the end and aim of every girls existence. A girl with out a husband is lonelier than a fish out of water. She has not been given the equal rights and business oppor- tunities of her brother as in other countries, and there is really not much for her to do except raise family.
 "For a young girl as well as for young man there is always time to begin,' say Maurice Barres.
 Curious question:" thinks Madame Verone, a prominent French feminist. There is no age for marriage. When a girl finds someone who pleases her and loves her-then is the time, be it early or late"
 With age, the virtues disappear answers Delephine in L'Ere Nouvelle. q am convinced that only the young women divorce who have been unlucky enough to find bad husbands. l am also convinced that if most girls wait ed until they reach the age of wis dom they would remain maidens-but that is another question:

BORNEO IS PARADISE
FOR TAX BURDENED MAN

LONDON, July 17.-British
North Borneo appears to be as
near paradise as it is possible for
the tax-burdened man or today to
get.
No income tax is collected in the
district. There is only a nominal
land tax, railway fares have not
been increased since 1911, tobacco
is cheaper than in any other place
in the world, chickens sell for a
shilling apiece and whisky for eight
shilling a bottle. These facts are
found in the official report of the
British government authorities in
the district.
Incidentally, the report says the
natives have given up their old
habit of head hunting.
