Men Too BefuddIed
To Think Straight.
LIE Matin, Paris.--Are women really
more absent-minded than men? The
charge often is brought against them,
but, 1t appears TO US, not always with

Gent to meet the wishes Of the authori-
ties that Hartlebury Castle, the an

should be occupied.
"A STAFF Of at least IL would be re-
