When they bad each made a careful examination the lecturer said: “Well, gentlemen, have you anything further to say in regard to the case?” “Nothing more than has already been said. ” was the reply taken from each. “Well, "sald he, taking the little one and holding it up before them, “this is a child that has never had a day's il- see since its birth.

For nearly | a year, ever since Taylor went over ta that auction at Haverhill, his customers had been feeding shoe pegs Ww thei herses and paving Taylor 29 cents per animal for that privilege.

A new postage stamp, or rather the equivalent of a postage stamp, a reply ecupon, as it is officially called, has been designed and will be put into cir- culation on October 1 next by the Inter- national Bureau of the Universal Postal Union at Berne. The new postal token is in the form of a ticket, entitling the holder to ex- change it for a postage slamp of the value of 25 centimes, or the equivalent of that sum in those countries that have adopted the arrangement concluded last year by the delegates of most of the civilized nations assembled at the Postal Congress in Rome. The arrangement was to the effect that a coupon should be devised to enable a person to write to a correspondent In @ foreign land, enclosing the value of 4 stamp for a reply. Incidentally also, the ccupon will enable persons to pay small accounts in foreign lands without going io the trouble of procuring a money order, For inslance, a. resident of Canada may write to a correspondent in France and Germany and desire to prepay the stamp required for. the answer. All he has to do is io spend six cents for a re- piy coupon at any Canadian post office and eoclose it in-his leller. The French ov German addressee will «xchange the coupon at his own post office for a French or German slamp which will pre- nay his reply. [Iu was the Brilish post office thal pro- pased the innovation, The adoption of . 2 coupon scheme was not made com- pulsary for all the nations comprised in the Universal Poslal. Union, but the fol- lowing have signified their acceptance of il: The Uniied States, Great Britain and most of her colonies, including Canada; Japan, Germany and her pro- tectoratas: “France and her. colonies, Austria, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Bel- sium, Spain, Denmark and her posses- sions : Switzerland, Greece, Chile. Bul- aaria, Mexieo, Costa Rica, Crete, Hayti, Hungary, “Corea, Vuxembourg, Rou- mania and Sian. The coupons are supplied to the postal aaministrations of the above eouniries al cost price and are inlerchangeable be- tween them al ihe price of 25 centimes or its equivalent. So far 5.000.000 have Leen printed; of which 3,793,000 have al- ready been taken up by the various pos- lal administrations.

A council was held and 7 was finally agreed that if the stale could not bring the girl to the court the state could go to the gir). One of the lawyers, a man with a persuasive tongue, was deputed to represent the slate and he went to Fonlenany-sous- Beis, There he interviewed Rosalie and her father. The objections to the marriage were brushed’ away and M. Vetienne signed the necessary documents giving permis- sion for Leopold to wed his daughter. The daughier’s agreement was also written, and armed with these the law- yer returned to Paris.

French Father Captures flis Eloping Daughter and Takes Her Home. The ramance of a French heiress and he" penniless lover, their ehopement, and a few weeks of wedded bliss, have been followed by the abduction of the bride in the paternal motor-car. Some months have passed since Mile. Piedallu met Victor Debaulon near her millionaire father’s chateau at Isle- Acam, France. A friendship sprang up and ripened into love. A few weeks ago the eclopment was planned and carried out.: Mile. Piedallu and her governess went shopping in Paris. The girl gave her chaperon the slip and joined her lover, who was wailing in a cab. So debp was the father's anger that be swore to leave the neighborhood. The eantents of his chateau are to bé sold by auction before the place is shut up. The lovers drove to a railway station and_ travelled to Ostend. There they took cheap rooms, and Dehaulen ob- tained work al a well-known hotel. His wife carried his dinner in a. bundle through the streets each day. Neither knew that the millionaire who was searching for them was one of the chief shareholders in the company which owns the hotel where Dehaulon was employed. Discovery came owing tc this fact.
