"In some of the pineries of Brittany which produce cones so abundantly as to strangle the development of the leading shoot of the maritime pine, it has been observed that the pines are most vigorous where the squirrels are most numerous, a result attributed to the repression of the cones by this rodent." Boitel, Mise en valeur des Terres pauvres, p. 50.

A rumour has spread that General Trochu, in accepting the charge imposed on him, has exacted from the Government the solemn assurance of respect for God, and for the rights of Family and Property.
At tea, which they both took with lemon, Soames spoke of the Transvaal. "There'll be war," he said. Madame Lamotte lamented. "Ces pauvres gens bergers!" Could they not be left to themselves? Soames smiled the question seemed to him absurd. Surely as a woman of business she understood that the British could not abandon their legitimate commercial interests. "Ah! that!"

"So," said Loubinsky, "you have found your errand in vain, Citizen le Noy; another victim to the imbecility of our generals." "And partly one of us," replied the Medecin des Pauvres.
Thus jealousy was avoided if the sums were unequal; and unequal they generally were. In the present instance the two largest sums were given to the "Medecin des Pauvres" and to the delegate from Verviers. Both were no doubt to be distributed among "the poor," at the discretion of the trustee appointed.
The owners of the villa Belle Etoile, our friend announced, he had found greatly depressed; of this, their passing mood, he had taken such advantage as only comes to the knowing. "They speak of themselves drearily as 'deux pauvres malheureux' with this villa still on their hands, and here they are almost 'touching June, as they put it.
