The first number of the Gazette de France, the oldest newspaper in France, was published 288 yearn ago, Hmy 80, 1691, under the editorial di rection of Doctor Renaudot. This most powerful pf the early Journalists of France was born in 1584 and, after graduating in medicine, established himself in P*ris about 1612. Richelieu and Pierre d'Hoslner, the genealogist, are said to have inspired Renaudot in establishing the Gaxette, which was published weekly and consisted of two small sheets, the first bearing the title of. Qtsette amJ-tbe- second Nourelies Ordlnaires de Divers Endrolts. Doc tor Renaudot established the prece dent, long followed in European Jour-, nslism'and by no means extinct^ of presenting foreign news first and rele gating domestic and local news to the last page. Soon after the establish ment of the Gazette Doctor Renaudot was granted an exclusive monopoly of printing and selling newspapers in France. When the founder died in 1663 the Gazette passed to his sons. The title of Gazette de Fiance was first used In the middle of the eight eenth century. It has been published under that title ever since*.,>vith the exception of a brief period during the revolution of 1848, when the name was temporarily changed to Le People Frnncals. Improved Rivet Cutter. A pneumatic rivet cutter for use In structural steel work and in repair shops consists of a long barrel, with compressed air connection at one end and s chisel at the other, the stem of the chisel being held by a coiled spring, which draws It back after each stroke. A plunger travels freely In the barrel or tube, and a smal'l bypass pipe connects the ends of this tube. Two men are employed, the one at the rear operating the valve and the one at the front keeping the chisel against the rivet head. The force of the blow can bo regulated by the valve. Air pressure of 30 to 90 pounds may be used, the higher pressure being the more effective. A punch can be In serted in place of the chisel for back ing out the rivets. In the larger size the stroke is 40 Inches, and the weight of the machine complete Is only 65 pounds. A smaller sire will cut rivets up to three eighths of an Inch In diam eter. Whsn Bitten by a Mad Dog. When bitten hy an aulmal that Is suspected as mad, the best thing to^o, according to Drs. J. C. Regan and A. Sllkman of New York, who describe a recent case In Archives of Diagnosis, Is to squeeze the wound to encourage bleeding, wash It with a solution of mercuric chloride (1 in 1,000), cauter ise it with fuming nitric acid, and ap ply a wet dressing of the mercuric chloride solution. The wound should uever he sewn up; if a deep punctured wound, It should be cut open with a scalpel. The sooner this treatment is applied the more likely It is to he successful. Afterwsrd the routine Pasteur treat ment should be taken. .In the Future. Recently ?cver?l nirplnncs were moving over the Circle, and the usual crowd had stopped to watch them.

This contemplates a much greater degree t>f protection for a wife, in respect to her home, than was pro vided iu the original act passed set era! year# ago. That set provided that no mtrried man may aell or mortgage tiis homestead without his wife's consent and fixed a maximum valuation ot $1,800. "Homestead," uutler that art, meant not only the farm home td 100 acres but also the house any where fn the proving, in city, town or tillage. Subsequently that art was amended by raising the valua tion limit to $3,000.on the ground that $1,800 was not sufficient to pro? tect part of a home where the value was greater. Now it is proposed to remove the valuation altogether, the condition being created that no home may be sold or mortgaged without tf?e wife's consent, provided it is the actual residence. This measure is in line with the latitude and consideration generally accorded to women, especially since the war, because of their service in the war, at home and overseas. RECLAIMING THE WAR ZONES Work Being Steadily Pushed in France, Though the Task Is a Tremendous One. A recent examination of the work going steadily forward to reclaim the French farmlands reports that over l*,t)00,000 acres have been cleared and about 500,000 acres planted, or made ready for planting. How small a part this is of the total appears when one knows the extent of what is called the "first zone," where the heaviest fighting went on for four years, and forests vanished, villages were swept away, and tfie soil is 60 filled with metal that it now defies plowing. Here 2,297,500 acres of cultivated land were de stroyed, and "how much of it will be reclaimed no one can yet tell." The "second zone," almost as large as the first, was "behind the front," and there the preliminary work of cJear ing away the debris of war is still in progress. The "third zone" is the area which had fallen into German hands, nearly 5,000,000 acres of farm land, much less completely de stroyed, but injured by neglect and stripped of every kind of farm ma chinery that the Germans could carry away with them. In attacking the tremendous task of reclamation, the fanners have banded together by communes, or townships. FUTURE -1UL. A gencratipn ago the center of the great lumber region lay very near the Atlantic coast, and the broad land was all but covered with virgin forests. Wood of ail kinds has been U6ed up bo much faster than it grows that today the center of our region is rapidly approaching the Pacific coast. The tree is one of the greatest sources of wealth in the land, and great efforts are being made today before it is too late to preserve it. Many thousands of acres all over the country are planted with trees like any other crop.?Boys' Life. BEDBUGS NEED LITTLE FOOD.
