. "" FRENCH RED TAPE.' A Professor, His Lobsters and Some Casks of Sea Water. Last year a professor in one of the Paris universities resolved to study the habits of lobsters in his laboratory. As they live in salt water, the first care of the professor was, of course, to procure a supply of this medium. The common mortal will probably consider it a most simple task—to provide a few barrels of sea water. This, however, Is not so in France. Sea water contains salt, and the production of salt is a source of revenue. This made it necessary for the professor to first obtain the permission of the minister of finance before he could travel and transport the water. When his application reached the ministry, a subordinate official was directed to inquire into the standing of the petitioner. This involved considerable correspondence, which passed through numerous channels and finally reached the chief of the department, who now initiated another investigation in order to ascertain why a Parisian professor should be so anxious to lower the level of the Atlantic ocean. After several weeks the inspector made favorable report. Some days later the petitioner was notified of the favorable consideration of his request in the usual elaborate official language, accompanied by circulars giving extracts from the penal code relative to infringements of the salt monopoly. Finally, after months of waiting, the professor was enabled to have some casks filled with salt water at a designated point on the seashore, of course under the supervision of another official, who duly issued a permit for the transportation of the liquid into the interior.

COSTLY RAZORS. Some Gold Handled That Sell For SSO. Handles of Silver and of Ivory. If a man were content to shave himself with a razor having a hard rubber handle, as indeed most men are, he could buy one with a blade of very ex-1 cellent quality for a dollar, but there are razors far more expensive than this. Thus there are sold razors with handles of 18 carat gold and of plain smooth finish that bring SSO each. A pair of such razors in a plain silver box can be bought for a hundred dollars. But SSO is not the limit of what one may pay for a gold handled razor. If the handle were elaborately chased Its cost might mount up to twice that, or S2OO for a pair. There are also sold, among those more expensive, silver handled razors which range in price from $6.50 to S3O each, $6.50 being the price for one with a plain silver handle, while those more costly have their handles more or less elaborately chased or carved. A man who did not altogether like a hard rubber handled razor might find his fancy suited with oue having a handle of ivory, and an ivory handled razor need not necessarily be expensive. A razor with a plain ivory handle can be bought for $2. Os course any carving would add to the cost. Costly razors are usually sold for gifts.—New York Sun. The Age of Marriage. The age of legal capacity to marry In England is much lower than in Italy. The English law has adopted in this respect a law of Roman and even Athenian origin, by which the ages of fourteen and twelve were fixed as the marriageable ages of males and females, respectively. In Italy the age is fixed by the civil code at eighteen and fifteen. Formerly the age of spousals In England was as low as seven for both sexes, but such marriage was not considered perfect, for the parties might disagree to It when they arrived at the mature age of twelve or fourteen. Poets’ Themes. The cynics of our time have whitewashed many of the vices. Poets like the earlier Swinburne practically praised lust as an expression of the love of life. Poets like Mr. Rudyard Kipling practically praised cruelty as an expression of the love of life. Poets like Mr. Henley and Mr. John Davidson have practically praised drunkenness, or violence, or obscenity as expressions of the love of life.—G. K. Chesterton in London News. Proof Positive. The policeman had shot a fleeing prisoner. “It was an accident,” he explained to bls superior. “What proof have you of that?” “Why, I hit him, didn't I?” rejoined the accused with an air of finality.— Philadelphia Ledger. A Surprise, All Right. "My husband has promised to allow me to choose what I want for my birthday.” “Oh. then there will be no surprises this year.” “Yes, there will. He will be surprlced enough when he gets the bill.” Better Than Dying. Teacher—Now. children, remember the text, “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow you die.” Pupil — Please, teacher, In our family we don’t We all take castor oil next day.—Life. A Helping Hand. Rich Old Uncle — And remember, dear, that when I die all that I have I goes to you. Niece—Thank you, uncle. Do let me give you more mince Pic.Harper’s Weekly. In Garrick’s time when the weather was warm the men in the pit took off coats and vests.
