QUAINT LEGEND . OF. ALSACE
Race of Giants Who Saw Importance
to Them of the Fcod
Producer.
There la a quaint, old legend, of Al
sste, recalls the Oirlxtlno Science
Monitor, concemVng a family of giants
who, once upon a Jlme, lived .In a cer
tain castle In till old country. . The
moral of the story seems npproprlnte
at a time when the French minister of
agriculture Is mnklng cclul effort to
encourage the cultivation of lnnd.
The giants lived, snys the legend,
far from the peasants of the plnln,
and one day the daughter of the
house who, though quite a child, was
already 90 feet high, strolled toward
the plnln nnd suw n laborer peacefully
plowing his field. She plotted op the
peasant the hone and the plow, and
put them In her pinafore and returned
to the castle to show what she bad
found to her father. '
"What you think Is bul toy," said
the giant, "Is what produces the food
which enables us to live. Put back
the laborer and his horse where you
found them." From ' that time . on
ward, adds the tale, the peasants wers
never molested by the giants.

TO RENT
Bugs lit Francs.' '
In the reign of Loule-Phlllppe, a
Monsieur Terrnt hnd liNn charged
with the duty of lighting bngs In the
bnrracki of Paris. It must be believed
that the result was satisfactory, since
by virtu of an order of the general
Inspector contracts were made In 1846
with Monnleur Terrat for the destruc
tion of these frightful Insects. Mon
sieur1 Terrtit demanded 00 centimes for
each Bleeping room. In ense the first
fight with the bugs was not decisive,
Snd If he should hnve to begin ngnln
after some yenrs, the second operation
should cost only M centimes a room.
Moreover, In these operntlons he de
stroyed the Insects in the arms-rack,
gunrd house, police quarters nnd
prisons. When he became old Mon
sieur Terrat ofTem! to communicate
the secret to the state for nn Indem
nity. But this offer wns not nocrpted.
The secret died with the proprietor.
And thnt Is why the soldiers of today
are yet struggling against the bug.
