B) frequent reference to It, noteil by newspaper readers, doubtless the menatnir nf !hnt cabalistic symbol "30" bus bScome familiar to many, bnt this Incident and explanation Is printed In connection with the obsequies of Sir Wilfrid Lnnrler, in the Montreal La I'ntrle. "What does that signify?" was asked by thousands who tiled past the casket of Sir Wilfrid Laurler and had remarked the bouquut of flowers upon whlfh lay the symbol "30" In red figures. This floral tribute was given by members of the press gallery In the Dominion parliament. For them this number menus the same as the words which the great departed pronounced some (lays after being stricken by bis malady : "It Is ended." (O'est flnl.) The origin of this conventional symbol has been lost tn the traditions of jour nalism, but after each night and at the end of every day the conventional "30" traversed the continent from end to end. Editors In time adopted the sign "30" to inform the staff, the various news deDartments. and the coirtpo'slng room that all fhe "copy was finished and that there would be "nothing additional. Finally, for news mpti Hie number "30" became the symbol of the end of all things -of earth, and even of life. Yanks Like French Souvenir. I Yankee soldiers are keeping me French khops busy these days. Sou venirs of France and various regions and cities of France are all the go. Among these souvenirs are brooches bearing the arms of different cities. The head of the famous Lion- of Bel fort, the statue of Bartholdl, the sculptor who designed the goddess of Liberty, Is another favorite. The Lor raine cross has also proved very popu lar with the Yanks. This symbol has two sets of cross arms Instead of one. It appeals particularly to the Ameri cans because of the part which the Yanks played In Lorraine during the war. The tted Cross dog and the lucky white elephant charm are other French souvenirs which the Ameri cans are procuring In large numbers to take back to the States. From The Splker, France. Hogs always seem to be ten cents higher. . t ', SKETCH OF PRE-HISTORIC MAN Early Palntlno Prove That Thousands of Centuries Ago Humanity Walked on Four Feet. Tlio Paris Figaro gives nu account of a recent remarkable discovery of paintings In a prehistoric cave of , Southjjininee.

In purt: "Count ISegouen and his sons dis covered ou the walla of the subterra nean gallerTes some eiwuvlngs esti mated to be 30,000 years old, and In such quantity and variety that the ex traordinary ensemble of pre historic art work constitutes a veritable mu aeum. "The animals figured In the cave are considerable In number, and Include reindeers, bisons, horses, both Isolate und In groups; bears, elephants and rhliiosccruses.

They hove made out, also, several birds, Including swans and ducks, as well as three predatory night flyers. "The human figure Is likewise repre sented In the cave, which. In recogni tion of the sons of Count Begotten, has been baptized 'the Cave of the Three Brothers.' A silhouette Is particularly remarkable, almost lialillng. It repre sents a man In motion a man of pow erful body, whose head und shoulders arc Joined by an enormous neck; a man whose upper and lower limbs and whose hands and feet are perfect! iy nu'inan; nil whose vertebral column Is prolonged In an exterior appendage resembling that of the anthropoids a man at last, 'who walks on four feet I" " Classifying the Apartment The apartment. In spite of wide physical differences, belongs to the same family as the lead razor and ihe wooden nutmeg. It is built to get rid of; and the persons who acquire one usually find that It Isn't "lint thJ thought It was. In the popular mind the apartment belongs to the ureal family of homes, ami can easily he made Into a true home by the addition of a rubber plant and an enlarged photograph of the Colosseum. This Is as much nf a fallacy as to think that a blne.lay can be made Into a bluebird by giving him a blUetiM house to nest In. The blnejny belongs tn the crow family; and while his plumage may please Ihe esthetic senses for a time, his mucous Rcreams and his bullying pugnacity will Inevitably offend every one. The wise man. In acquiring an apartment, vlewn It as a branch of the wooden nutmeg family and determines to pass It on to someone else with all possible speed. Judge. Our Language.

"Yes, I see, fairly pretty, eh?" the Englishman milled, "Ah I that Is the word I She Is fair." "O, yes, pretty fair I" the English man responded. Cartoons Magazine.
