Every wall on which bills may be stuck in the Department of the Aube is now aflame with placards inviting contracts for the following articles among others: 10,000 gallons of red wine, 60 tons of potatoes, 30,000 sau- s=ages, 260 pounds of crystallized sugars, 40,000 eggs, 1% tons of fresh butter, 8% tons of marmalade, and 1% tons of Gruvere. And who are to be the own- ers and eaters of these pretty things? Is it an army contract? What a grot- esque supposition. Who sver heard of the country being pampered with mar- malads, eggs and crystalized sugar— with prices what they are, too? A syndicate of first-class hotels, you sus- gest? A very natural error, but an error, all the same. A private nursing home and rest cure contract? Now you are getting warmer. All these things are for the guests of her majes- | ty the republic—for the gentle erimi- nals, in fact! You noti.e that the dletary 1is pientiful and nourishing— eggs to sustain and wine to stimulate. 1t would be very sad if Messieurs les Apaches, on the expiry of, say, a three months’ sentence for triple murder, were to find themselves reduced in strength, and not at the level of their arduous professional duties. But there is little fear of that in the Puy-de- Dome Department, where the republic ed one of its most popular and populous homes of rest. The ad- vantages offered are even more allur- ing. The authorities of the Riom es- tablishment there, who have adopted the modern system of central heating, require 230 tons of coal. They also ad- vertise for 13.600 litres of milk for the pectoral Anarcéhist—and there arc many such. Riom is a good place, bu‘ those who enjoy a good glass of win with their meals should, of course, elec for the Aube. Byt then at Riom th soap is scented, whereas in the Aub even a bandit ho has once spoken 't Bonnot will have to use horrid commor Stuff, just like any rgeois. The question cf where to stay is not, you see, so easy after ‘all. Still, anyone not' too finicky can be very happy Wwith either. But, in all seriousness, It ic unwise, if nothing more, for the Go ernment, at a tims when'living at least gTows dally dearer in France, thus publiely to advertise the luxury of its pris: Comforts for convicts is an interesting controversial subject. A member of the Erglish Parliament de- mires the home gecretary to answer the fillowing questions: Whethar the con- Viets confined in the Camv Hill Prison, Isle of Wight, many of whom are habi- tual erfminals of the worst type, are allowed {o dine together and smoke and chat gfter meais?

The fixing of new frontiers is always difficult, and will be much more so in | the Balkkan case, where not two but | five territories have to be delimited. | It is mo mere matter of map, compass | and ruler. Where the count flat | much can be done by thes. mple | means, but where it is mountainous like the Balkans it involves infinite | trouble. The frontier line must straight and simple as possible facilitate the task of guarding it aga invasion and smuseling. In a moun- tainous country this is impossible, and S0 we often .see, as in the case of the southern frontier of Germany, the line running in zigzags along the top of the | Alps. This difficulty is increased when | the mountains happen to be rich in {minerals.

Again, an- | other difficulty presents itself wh | the natural frontier line is formed by | 1arge rivers, often studded with islands. |1t is the accepted --mrtice to fix the course of the line along the line of the deepest current. But the deepest cur- rent does not always run in the middle tof the river, and when the river {abounds in islands it is invariably zigzag line.

First Aid to The Ho/asewife Some housewives glory in the thought that This jingle is for those who try to smile at toil and reason “Why;” let the household cares crush down life’s other glad affairs. You’ll find, where who will not Mrs. Smith or Brown thus reason, in a certain town, that Gold Dust helps to minimize the number of back-aches and sighs. The Gold Dust Twinc forever toil, with dirt and trouble as ‘a foil. They start each morning, at the top, and only after night-fall stop. | | ‘Theirsis to never question‘“‘why?" At kitchen tasks their talents shine; the floors they polish up are fine; in fact, no matter where they go they leate a spotless trail; and so, like sunshine, when the sky is grey they help to drive the clouds away. Each grain of Gold Dust also shares in cleaning up the house- hold wares; each mop it touches seals a bond, to make a mop a fairy wand; each brush or cloth holds regal sway in driving dirt’s dull care away,
