The police are actively employed at the present moment in raiding those wine shops in Paris wheére betting is carried on. Innocent-looking wine shops, these; and innocent looking the proprietor as he stands behind the bar serving out measures of thin red wine, in his shirt sleeves. But his pockets are full of betting slips, and his cupboards contain betting books, and the money passed over the coun- ter is more for betting than drink. However, the police are a match for the wine seller, and a mateh for even less suspicious characters who secret- ly follow the profession of the book- maker. Recently, for instance, they could not understand- why a certain concierge received so many visitors, and was so prosperous. Watched was the concierge, and one morning he and his visitors were searched, and the usual betting paraphernalia was dis- covered. And our concierge was actu- ajly attended by a valet and assisted by a secretary. Among his clients were a number of well-known and influential people, and the servants and small tradespeonle of the quarter deemed it an honor to transact busi- ness with so prosperous and distin- guished a concierge. Unfortunately, the fines imposed in such cases are not severe enough to serve as a warn- ing, and it is hoped that a new law will shortly be introduced which will deal sharply with the innocent-fool ing wine seller @nd his fellow offend- ers.—London News. : §10.

Down with the dress reformer, who usually “reforms’™ at an age at which she’ ha§ no form to reform—for she is the friend of the baldhead microbe. For the corset has found a friend. It is declared to be a certain cure for baldness by a secientist who wiil not be denied, but comes forward with baldheaded facts. He blames baldness on exclusively abdominal or “deep” breathing, which men affect, and in which the corset does not allow women to indulge. Without going into a scientific dis- sertation on breathing, it may be stated that the lower portion of the stomach plays its part in the process of respiration. Now the ordinary man, says this investigator, allows the lower pertion of the stomach to play too great a part in the process of breathing, whereas the corset confines “the breathing of the fair sex more largely to the upper portion of the chest, and woman retains her crown of glory. In the pursuit of his investigations the chemist selected various animals which breathe properly, and fitted them with an apparatus which forced what is called exclusively abdominal breathing. Dogs, cats and even birds, fitted with these unique and wrongly constructed corsets actually lose their hair or feathers after a few months of wear! On the other hand it is argued that millions of men who do not wear stays have an abundance of hair. It has been set forth on competent authority that at least 50 per cent of the men of the present day are more or less afflicted with baldness, and that the percentage is increasing alarmingly. This fact alone rather upsets the argument that has just been set down and to it must be added the further fact that thousands of men habitually wear a belt, not nécessarily of leather or worn outside the waistcoat, which, although they are unaware of it, acts as a pair of stays with regard to the process of breathing. From inauiries made in this con- nection the weight of evidence is in favor of a good head of hair in the possession of men who wear these belts, which are sometimes mere strips of flannel.—Milwaukee Sentinel. CH S A R P Postage Stamp Inquiry. The Postoffice Department is press- ing the investigation of published alle- gations that rare postage stamps have illegaly found their way from the de partment to stamp speculators. Post- office Inspector Formes, formerly di- rector general of posts of Cuba and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow's chief assistant in the postal investigation, and Inspector Williams are in charge of the stamp investiga- tion. > They have not only gome through the records of the department, but have examined a number of'persons in the department and in the bureau of engraving and printing, which prints the stamps, and have examined phil- atelistg, including a prominent dealer in this city, with a view to ascertain- ing the identity of persons who have sold stamps to the dealers in those articles. g It has been the practice of the office for a number of years to distribute among department officials and other prominent persons “specimen’ stamps, distinctly so marked to prevent their use as postage, as an official courtesy, and it is known that a large.number of these stamps have found their way into the hands of the dealers. The in- spectors are endeavoring to find out who sold them to the dealers. The in- vestigation may be concluded this week.—Washington Star. —_——————— The Sleeping Sickness. The first report has been received from the members of the expedition of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medi- cine, which was sent to the Congo Free State with the co-operation of the King of the Belgians. Quarters have been supplied in Boma, and will be provided in Matadi and Leopoldville by the State, and the local State physicians have placed the native hospital, where there are about ten cases of sleeping sickness, at the expedition’s disposal. A missionary informed the expedition that last year 4000 people died from this disease in the district of Watken, and it was stated that the depopula- tion of the country was feared near Bundunda, at the confluence of the Kwango and Kassai rivers. Pest «amps have been established in various distriets, in accordance with the Gov- ernor's orders, and cases are isolated in them under the care of soldiers as they occur. The Government hopes by these measures to check the spread of the malady.—New York Commer- cial Advertiser. ‘ bt ARG T A, Sultan and Haberdasher. ‘Men of influence are not the only foreigners who receive the Sultan’s at- tention. On the twenty-fifth aniver- sary of his accession to the throne an English tradesman who had long sup- plied t_e palace with its cravats and smaller sundriés of raiment was sud- denly told that the Sultan wished to know the man who had supplied him with goods these twenty-five years. The white-haired Englishman was dragged from behind his counter. thrust into a proper suit of broadcloth, and carried to the palace as fast as two fresh horses could take him.~ He shook the Sultan’s hand with unrestrained en- thusiasm, expressing his sense of the honor in such Turkish as he had picked up in the course of trade. Then the Sultan smilingly expressed. his ap- preciation of the long years of straightforward, honorable dealing, and bestowed upon the shopkeeper then and there the star of the Order of the Mejidieh, first class.—World's Work. . —_— _ Starved Himself to Death. Kow Fong, a Chinese, who was sent to the City and County Hespital from his hovel in Chinatown one week ago, where he attemnted to Kkill himself, virtually ended his life by starvation. He refused to partake of food from the time he was raceived in the hos- pital until yesterday, when he died. The body was removed to the Morgue.
