MONOMANIACS 2: THE EMBROIDERER: An example of the error that nature sometimes commits in labelling the sexes. Thus, in the same way that you see so-called women who sport trousers, a kind of moustache, play the cornet, the double-bass, or who compose humanitarian novels; so you see so-called men who pluck the harp, hem ties, embroider at the frame with their men's hands, and if need be, do a little cooking

Conjugal Manners 37: The well of Grenelle. And these rogues of chemists who say that it does some good to bathe children in the well of Grenelle; here's poor Dodophe who's gone greener than an apple; I don't know whether my son's a lizard or a toad!!

THE BACHELOR'S DAY 6: － Without doubt Mr. Riflot the right to petition is sacred, but is abused! witness that which you're talking to us about: to tax bachelors for being useless to the population! I'am angry about it for married people; but it has to be said that of [bachelors] there is no one, more than I Coquelet, who has helped the population

BOHEMIANS OF PARIS 1: THE SELLER OF SECURITY [WATCH] CHAINS: The security [watch] chain is so called because it is a secure means of knowing that the ninny who buys it owns a watch.

He who says hotel-keeper －in China－ and above all in a seaport, says patent thief... if you bring to his notice that he counts dinners that you have not ordered －errands that you have not had [him] make －waiters who have not served you －expenses for transporting luggage for which you have paid, he replies graciously: Suh, we always count that, always... that is the Chinese habit!... Editer's note: This habit also exists in certain French sea ports

PARISIANS TYPES 30: －My God! Missus Bombec, what hit you? －Don't mention it,dear lady, the horror! the world's become so ferocious that I'd rather be the gatekeeper at the zoo. You know that Bezuchet on the fifth floor who tells everyone that her not-so great daughter, whose filling out nicely round the waist, has become Whatdropical. Me, I just said: oh yeh! －And that's the creature that... －by Jove, flew into my face

JOURNEY TO CHINA 17: THE PENAL CODE. The Chinese legislators have decreed that all the accused will answer a summons freely in front of their judges, and so they are brought before the examining magistrate between two policemen and bound with handcuffs, which in fact leaves them no more liberty than to sneeze. Moreover justice is delivered with such promptness in the Celestial Empire that it is very rare for he who has been cautioned to remain more than eight months before attending his trial, finally the solemn day arrives when he sees himself sentenced to a fortnight in prison, and the capped mandarin has the goodness to explain to him that this fortnight is not to be confused with the eight months he has already spent behind bolted doors

JOURNEY TO CHINA 19: CHINESE WORRIORS. All Chinese men have the right, from six to eight times a year, to carry a rifle, a cartridge-pouch, and even to wear a fur cap; then they apply themselves, more or less voluntarily to night patrols which have as their goal the maintenance of public peace. Only it happens quite often that the chief named KA-PO-RAL takes infinite trouble to prevent his warriors singing at the tops of their voices “mother GO-DI-CHON” or other Chinese ballads, and it is by waking with a start that the good citizens learn that their rest is being watched over

NEWS 200: A VISIT TO THE CONVICT-PRISON IN NAPLES: Mr.Gladstone－ And what do you call this man? he doesn't look like a villain.

In his inexhaustible clemency the best and most worthy of kings ordered that we chain him to an assassin, so that he might return to the good. He'd have been completely lost if we'd left him with another demagogue
