It Is Intended for the Better Class of Children in the Gay Capital, The latest ' thing la the way or (bare Is a club for babies, It has iu:•t been est•nblislusl in Paris, right in the Jteart of that ,'ashlonU,ble rendezvous and playground of better - chefs children, 1 he green and glorious Champs Elyeees, Micro hundreds of youngsters d 11t,v delight tl emselves tilting at rings from the gentle steeds of band -turned rourd0bnuls, and enjoy unlimited laughter at the rival I'uio'h tend ,led'; :shows, The establishment of the Casino rtes 1!:nfaut8, are the club is ealled, was tho idea of a well-known Pa)'isl- an ,iournrtlist, Judging from its suet•. SS up to the present thorn is no cloubt that it has come to fill a long - felt want, for the (lib is daily ernwde(1 whit merry -faced babes, while on Sunday afteln(ons they throng there in their hundreds, it is select, too, for membership entails an expenditure of ten cents per clay, so it is only the children of the wealthy, handsomely attired in the latest fashions, that aro to be found there. A 'matelot' corridor. 'lined with panus, gives entrance to the club- room, a high, vast apartment with a roof of beautifully stained glass. Largo mirrors are ranged around the Walls, and these in the evening, throwing a thousand reflections of the electric candles it the high chan- deliers, convert it into a veritable fairy palace of brilliant light. IT IS A CLUJ! FOR FUN and not for serious thought, its raison d'etro being to provide a rendezvous where genteel children ntuy derive .the maximum of amuse- ment with the mimimuul of discom- fort in surroundings equal to those to which they are habituated; it combines all the joys and pleasures of the nursery, and a good deal more, with the advantage of mixing with equals in birth and manners. Moreover, it is airy, light, and beau- tifully cool for the children to play in, as contrasted with the heat and glare of the surf outside in the gar- dens of the Champs Elysees. Plcnsnre being its purpose, it is naturally equipped so that /loaf of the members may know a dull mo- ment, but may bo always happily amused. All kinds of guns-- and amusements aro provided, arta those the children can enjoy under the watchful eyes of female attendants, there specially to administer to their every want and see that they conte to no harm, in tho centre of the hall there is a small Inerry-go-(round of bicycles, and there are also several small swings, unclosed for safety within a railing of bamboo, with low see -saws and gentle rocking -horses. Shu Ltlu- cook is a favorite game, and there aro others played with rings, swing- ing balls, and spinning wheels. Be- tween flower stalls, stalls for sweci.s, ice -creams, and cool drinks, there aro sot all kinds of automatic machines whose games give pleasure t0 the young. • But undoubtedly the great attrac- tion, or the club is the tiny lake, in whose clear, limpid waters scores of gold flsli 'dart about in wild endeav- or to escape the nets wielded by.the members of both sexes, TUE LAKE LOOKS VERY REAL, surrounded as it is with rockery and bamboo railings, The children pay their twopence to the attendant, daintily attired as a Japanese miss, and aro provided with nets and al- lowel to fish as long as they like. They keep the fish they not, and take them 110010 in small glass globes, but 2110r0 often the haul is gravel and sighs of disappointment„ Thorn is always a crowd round the lake, and great it the joy when a golden -hued member of the finny tribe is haulers frena its natural element. "(luignol" is over a favorite with French children, so, of course, the club would not be complete without its Punch and .Tidy -show, It is al - SO provided with a small theatre, whore simple ballets and small one- act no-act plays are performed by a troupe of children actors, while a children's orchestra, containing no member over twelve yea's of ago provides the musld. At the opposite end of the hall is n smell, prettily furnished salon, wherein, seated on tiny chairs at tiny tables, tho children may pa - take or the inevitable five o'clock tea from cups whose size aro in keep- ing with that of the use's. iQ PUZOFIPA.i1LE HEAD.

All the freshness of youth, the racy cheeks and bright eyes of girl- lwo.l, the charms of budding woman- hood, are duo to pure, rich blood and healthy nerves. When the face is pale and the eye& lupi( lustre, when there are headaches and back- aches, shortness of breath and pal - patina or the !mart the blood Is ser - i iously out of condition, and decline and consumption may well he feared. 10 emergencies of this kind there is no 100,11cin0 so ((noir in its benefici- al results as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Every p111 makes new; rich blood, slrengthenes tho nerves and puts the sufferer 0n the road to stealth. Proof of this is found in the ease of Miss Bertha Milloy, Port Dalhousie, Ont. Tl -o story of till,1 young lady's res- toration to health is told by her mother as follows; "A few years ago my daughter Bertha, began to decline in 11001th, Among the early symptoms were loss of appetite, loss of strength nod an aversion to exer- iSon.. These were followed by severe headaches, and sometimes fainting fits; her color left her and she was greatly reduced in flesh. In fact her condition was such that I feared. she would go into consumption. Wo tried a number of medicines but they did not help her; then ailoctor was called in, but there was no improve- ment, and things looked vory hope- less. At this stage acting on the advice of a lady friend (who, by the way, was studying medicine and is now practising in Chicago) I started giving her '.Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Tn the (nurse of a few weeks there was a decided improvement 111 her condition, and by the time she had token 0ln0 boxes she was again en- joying perfect heaiib. During her illness her weight was reduced to ninety-five pounds and while taking the pills it increased to one hundred and ton pounds. My advice to other mothers who have weak or ailing girls is to lose no time in giving theist Dr, Williams' Pink Pills." Nearly all the ills of life are due to bas blood, and they are cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills simply be- cause these pills make new, rich blood thus bringing strength to oy- emy part of the body. That is the 1011010 secret, and is the reason why these pills have cured after otter medicines have. failed, All mledicone dealers sell these pills, but there aro some who offer substitutes; see that the full name "Dr: Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People" is printed on the wrapper around every box. If in doubt send direct to the Dr. Wil- liams Medicine Co„ Brockville, Ont., and the pills will bo sent by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50. ORIGIN OF COMMON LAW.

For every story of Macedonian outrugo by a Bashi-buzouk one aboa1 the funny unties of ifs seafaring brother in Islam can bo told, A story that has become a classic among Mediterranean sailors illus- trates the Tulles inability as a nav- igator, A Turkish steamer with a cicalae captain put out of the Dar- danelles, butted for 'Trieste, Austria.

"Brest," returned the Frenchman. The Turk asked no more 4uestieals and allowed the l"relchtnan to go ahead. The next morning the French captain noticed that the Turk was Pastern, and following in his wake, When on the second morn- ing he still found the Turk in his hake,, his surmise grow. On tho third clay it was tate souse, and no on the fourth -tile French captain always made out that Turkjah stea- mer coming up astern. On the 111111 day he id the 'Jeers( overhaul Ilial and asked for an exl/lanatioil. By this time they wer0 well down the Mediterranean towards T1111 FRENCH COAST. "Why do you steep so close astern of 1110 ?" roared the Ji'rOnc)l captain through a nlogaphoue, "1 ant following you to Trieste," answered the 'Turk. Whereupon the french captain sent a boat aboard the steamer flying the crescent to explain to her commander that he was about five hundred guiles off ifs course and to instruct him how to regain it. Wonderful to a seaman's ears are the stories told of the small Turkish schooners that navigate the Black Sea., the Bosphorus and the Sea of Ma'ntora. In the first place, it is said that no watches are kept and that all hands, including the man at the wheel not infrequently sleep at once, There #s no discipline. The sailors never 0101un ship Or wash down decks. This is easy to believe If you ever sail close to windward of a Turkish 1 iS1h craft one whiff from its docks will convince you that cleaning is not the Turk's strongest point in scamnus11141. It is further averred that these schooners never carry compasses and dare not lose sight of land. They havo captains, but the rust of the crew are all equals; they oat, sleep and quarrel together, and are at liberty to call themselves the orates or the sailors, as they choose. 011 one ship boarded by the writer all hands were on deck, each one dressed most picturesquely in fez and loose • colored jacket and trousers.

The I1ritish Museum has been ob- liged to get rid of its vast accumu- lation of newspaper !#les, and a buildbigt at Hendon, is being con- structed to accommodate them, Some idea of the mountains of sets of newspapers an.d monthly and fort- nightly publications may bo gather- ed from the following statement for 1J00. In that year a total of 8,400 sets was gathered, representing 220,- 300 single numbers o1 papers and kindred publications. Last year Chore were not (pito so many put on file. These files art) very perfectly indexed, so that one can readily C011- sult any n4tmber 110 may want to see. They aro especially valuable for their reports of law eases. There are certain newspapers that will not go to Hendon but remain where they are, and those aro the treasures of 110wspnper history fn which the British Museum is 80 rich, The London 1111i1y Chronicle thus de- scribes some of them : VERY OLD NEWSPAPERS.
