OLDEST OF FRENCH JOURNALS
Gazette de France Was First Pub
lished 238 Years Ago, and Is Still
In Existence.
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. An
old woman In the crowd began count
ing. "One. two, three, four, five," she
counted. "Five of tftose things."
Then she turned to the inati nearest
her. "Did you ever see the like?" she
asked. "Five of those thing*. Why,

Just lousy with them."--Indianapolis

?IVES WIFE PROPERTY RIGHT
of lmpertan?? to Womtn
Llkoly to ??com* a Law In
???Kate Hawaii
IJinlrr tl??- tcflUS of a l>itl that ha*
just received iu Hrst reading in the
ourreut session of (he provincial leg
iftlature at Itegiua, Sn*kal?hewan,
uo married man in Saskatchewan
may Ml or mortgage his residence
without his wife# irrespec
tive of \aluatiou.
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'

bedbugs in tubes for 12 months, at
the end of which time the bugs were
