0 THE CAJfES OF PARIS. History la tho History of the- Fronoh Nation. Voltaire mid Other Celebrities AVer Wont to Sip Their Mocha Young Bonapartci Plnrlrir Chcia In tho Cilfe do la Regencc. Special Paris Lotter.l It lias been aphoristically stated that ttbo history of tho French cafo Is tho 1 history of tho French nation. And 'there is a good deal of truth In It, lUichclct, too, tho famous historian, says that with tho general use of coffeo began a new era in French literature, (manners, politics and glory.

If what tho German naturalist, says ris true, and tho liquid extract of tho coffeo bean affects above all tho imagination, it can well bo believed that coffee has had a great influence on so volatile and excitable a race asthoinod-cru Gauls. And certain it is that in no city of tho world tho o-ifo has played so important a part in molding public opinion as in Paris. The most famous, and at tho same "timo tho oldest of Parisian cafes, tho iCafe Procope, has recently been closed, lit was over two hundred years old. This means a great deal when it is remembered that the first cup of coffeo ulrank on French soil was tho one prc-pared by SI. de Mervillc in Marseilles, on, bjs return from a trip on the Lc-vante in 1044.

And it was not until a057 that coffeo was first brought to Paris by another oriental traveler, M. Thcvcnot. The fragrant cup, however, did not the fashion till several years later, when the ambassador of the Mohammed had it served to tho French court ladies who did him the honor of visiting him. It was in 10S9 when Francesco Proco-pio Cultclli, an enterprising Italian, opened the first cafe in an elegantly appointed house, opposite the Comedie Francalse. This man had belonged for some time to tho household of tho 'Turkish ambassador, and there, too, he "bad thoroughly learned to prepare good coffee.

His enterprise was crowned with success from tho first. All tho beaux csprits of the Paris of those days the Cafo Procope, drawn 4here partly by the convenient location nnd partly by tho excellent coffee and the fruit ices which tho Italian first introduced from his Sicilian house in 'Paris. After the performance at the 'Comedie Francaisc his place became the vrendezvousof all the elegance and brain ot Paris. And for a hundred years, until the outbreak of the French revolution, it remained thus. There, even in our days, was shown the leather of Piron, tUe cup of the portrait of Clairon, and the small marble table where Voltaire used "to sit and sip his Mocha.

In yon corner Jean Jacques Rousseau was in the habit of jotting down notes for his "Social Contract," while Marmontel and Diderot -discussed religion and politics, d'Alem-'bert and Baron Holbach chatted 'together, and the leading actors and Actresses, operatic, composers and sing-ere talked animatedly. During the consulate a liberally appointed reading-room was added to the of tho Cafe Procope, and this fact reestablished the literary character of the place for two generations. It was not until after Napoleon III. had executed his bold coup d'etat that the cafe began to mix in politics. It was and for years it was the regular meeting place for "Novelle Gaule," and Gambetta made many a fiery, impetuous bpcech before a audience.

Finally, after 1871, the cafe went to sleep, and now it has ceased to exist. Another cafe that was once a local was that kept by Widow Lau- VOLTAIItB SIPS 1118 MOCHA. in tho Hue Dauphine where all 'the great leaders in tho ante-revolution--ary days, such as Voltaire, Rousseau, 'Crebiilon ct used to have rendez- vous. The Cafe Foy in the Palais Royal was for three or four generations famous placo. Started during tho reign -of Louis its signboard read: "A MaFoy," butit becameatonee popularly tlmown by the shorter name.

it played an important political role from the first, and it was from here that the actual beginning of tho great revolution dates. On July 13, 1780, Camille Desmoulir.s jumped on one of 'tho tables in front of the cafo and Iharangued the excited crowds in tho stnoet, demanding tho punishment of the traitorous court for having dismissed Necker, tho finance minister. from the tree under which he he plucked leaves and brandies and asked all those of ids mind to dee-orato their hats and caps with those as tho sign of a common object. When the allied powers entered Paris in 1815, their officers frequented by preference 'the Cafe Foy and the adjoining card iroorus, and old Field Marshal Ulueher Host over francs there Many veterans and adherents of tho do-nhroned Emperor Napoleon likewise vis-vited here, and hence ensued many provocations, duels and scandals. Horace Vernet, the famous painter, and hit father.

Carlo, were also among tho habit tucs of this cafe, and Horace, but a then, once quickly painted a swal-Eow on tho ceiling so true to nature that it formed thereafter ono of the curiosities of the establishment. tfThcn Lonoir, tho wealthy owner, retired from business, ha had that plcco of tho celling cut out and took his famous swallow with him into his now lifo of leisure. Tho Cafo do la Rcgcnco likewise counted tho most notablo men of tho day among Its regular customers, such as tho groat encyclopcdlstcs, tho author of "Paul et Virjuno" and many others. A chess club also existed hero for many years, and oven tho dreaded Robesplerro played many a game then, ns well as tho young Gen. Iionaparte, whoso usual adversary was Louvot.

A frequenter of tho cafo by day and night was tho unhappy poet, Alfred do Mus-set, whoso solo amusement was chess. At his elbow stood tho absinthe bottle, from which ho constantly replenished his glass, his hand trembling as in a fover, Amoug tho moro or less famous cafes still in active operation may bo mentioned Cafe, do la Rotonde. onco tho CTiJvSN pyy BOtfAPAKTE PLAYING CIIKSS IN THE CAFJ UK LA HCOENCIC. club room of tho illustrious Societo clu Caveau. The Cafo Lcmblin was uur-ing the restoration period the assembly room of the enthusiastic south of Franco nnd of the old Napoleonic officers.

In the Cafe Vnlois tho "defenders of throne and altar" used to meet and to further tho cause of tho Bourbons until the revolution of July. Tho appearance of a Bonapartist always led to a duel at this cafe. Under the reign of Louis Philippe tho Bonapartista moved over into the Cafe des Mille-colonists. A specialty of literature was made, during the middle of this century, by the Cafe Tabouret and the Cafo Le-pelletier, whose regular clientele included such notabilities as Balzac, Theophile Gauticr, Gerard do Nerval and others. Under tho third empire- tho Cafo do iladr.rt was the center of tho radical oppositions, whero Roche-fort Flourensse used to consort.

Of Jato years, it is true, much of the peculiar flavor and. aroma of tho old Parisian cafe has been lost, due to the fact that they have, one by one, been transformed into restaurants as well. Tho Parisian restaurant is almost a century younger than tho cafe. It was in May, 1705, that a M. Boulanger perhaps an ancestor of the well-known "brav' general" of our days started the first restaurant on tho corner of the Rue des Poulets and Rue Bailleul, hia sign bearing the inscription: Venlte ad me.

Omney qui stomacbo laboratis, Et ego restaurabo vos. Which, anglice, means a simple invitation to all to come and eat there For tho first time a regular schedule of fixed prices was attached. And this marked tho transition from the old-fashioned tavern into tho modern restaurant; and then it gradually came to pass that tho cafe became a cafe-restaurant, and the latter variety now rula A VERY CLEVER TRICK. How a Dealer Was Swindled by an Innocent Old Lady. An East Fort street merchant was lately made the victim of a swindle that was novel and original A middle-aged woman, apparently from the country, came into his store tho other day carrying on her arm a largo basket, in which was a pot with a lid.

She ptaccd tho basket on the floor, made numerous purchases, had her bill counted up, and then carefully put all her packages into the big pot, and replaced the lid with the greatest caution. She next asked permission of the storekeeper to leave the articles in his care, as she wished to do a little more shopping in the neighborhood, promising to return in tha course of an hour. This request was willingly acceded to and lifting the pot out of tho basket sho carried it carefully to a corner where it would be out of tho way, set it down, and, again slipping the basket under her arm, left the store, after profusely thanking the man for his kindness. Hours went by, but tho woman failed to coll for her precious pot. At last, when closing time came, a salesman wont over to the corner for the purpose of placing tho earthenware in a safer place, and quickly discovered that, like a certain locality to which sinners are supposed to bo consigned after death, it was bottomless.

The mere mention of a pot is now sufficient to cause tho victimized dealer to go into convulsions. Detroit Sun. Two Faithful DogH, A strange but true snake story comes from Sierra Madro. A little girl whoso mother resides at that place saw a large 6nako while playing near tho house, and, being pleased with its appearance, she followed it through the grass, trying to get hold of It. Two faithful dogs belonging to the family saw the snake also, and, running after it, got ahead of the little girl in tho chase and pounced upon the animal.

An alarmed rattle, two quick strokes and the dogs ran yelping back, while tho little rot, who had witnessed the encounter, concluded that the gliding serpent was not ait pretty lis it had at first appeared. When the mother, who happened to be absent, returned homo that evening and found two dead dogs in her dooryard and her littlo daughter fast and safely usleep in bed. it may be taken for granted that a prayer of gratitude up from her heart at the fortunate escape of the little one.

QUEER THINGS IN WAR. Tho Torrlldo Connequenocs of Somo Stupid 1 JtlKtakos. xo participant in ino urst battle ol Bull Run was able to toll how tho mem-morablo panio started. It should novor havo been. Thoro wasn't tho slightest reason for a panic.

Although the federal troops wcro outnumbered when tho confederate rcluforcemonts camo from the valloy, they could havo fallen back in good order and formed a now lino to tho rear. Burnside should never havo attacked Fredericksburg. Every soldier of prominence in Europe and America havo so declared. There weren't an oven hundred private soldiers in his command who believed an attack would bo successful. Gen.

Hooker went down into tho Wilderness to take Leo in the rear. Before ho was ready Stonewall Jackson was almost in his rear. Word was sent to Hooker early in the day that Jackson was passing along his flank. lie preferred to believe that the wily confederate was in full flight toward Richmond. Had ho not put his own opinion against facts as stated by prisoners captured ho might have bagged Jackson and Leo right there and then.

All military students believe that Lee made a mistake in ordering tho memor-nblo charge at Gettysburg instead of a flank movement, while Beauregard rested an hour too soon to complete the disaster at Shiloh. When ono knows how thin Leo's right was at Antietam, some of the batteries having no support whatever, he can reason that had Burnside charged at tho hour ordered by Mc-Clellan tho result of that battle would have been far different. Thousands lay in camp at Shiloh for days without protecting their front in the slightest. A great army marched over the country to attack, but there was not even a cavalryman out to see and hear and bring tho news. Tho biographers havo furnished x'lausible excuses and the historians have sought to cover up mistakes, but one needn't to have fought in the ranks to realize that it was a war in which many queer, strange things camo to tho surface.

They used to bo called blunders, but that term is too harsh for these piping days of peace. Thero are old histories which toll of Gen. Butler being "bottled up" at Bermuda Hundred. The new ones refer to his position thero as an error of judgment. Ono of the stupendously queer things of war was Banks' great move on Texas, and the queerest thing about it all was the fight at Sabine Pass.

To reach Sabine Cit3' a fort at Sabine Pass had to be captured. The federal force comprised four gunboats and about four thousand infantry. It could plainly be seen that the fort was a small affair, and it was just as plain that infantry could be landed below it to make an assault. Prisoners captured in that neighborhood gave the strength of the defenders at less than three hundred men, although there was another force manning three or four river steamers above. Half a regiment of infantry could have carried tho fort by a dash, but not a man was landed.

It was decided to let the gunboats go up and knock the fort to pieces before any men were put ashore. It will hardly be accredited, but it is a fact surrounded by a hundred proofs, that there wore less than fifty confederates in the fort. They did not expect a victory, but wero determined not to leave without a fight There were twenty-seven guns on the three gunboats -which finally moved up to the attack, while tho fort mounted only seven. At the very first discharge of the latter two of the gunboats were disabled by shots penetrating their boilers. The- third fired half a dozen shots and then got around and drew out of the fight as soon as she could pull out of the mud.

The fourth took no part. Seventeen minutes after the first gun was fired the confederates had possession of two of the gunboats, and the other two, together with transports carrying four thousand men, were in full retreat down the river. It was the quickest, queerest victory of the war. In tho fort not man was scratched, while the federals lost over two hundred in killed and prisoners and two crafts armed with fifteen rifled guns. Each one of tho defenders was subsequently presented with a medal by the confederate president, and was afterward known as a.

"Davis guard." I have seen half a of these medals here and there, and perhaps one or two can bo found hero in New York. M. Quad, in Y. World. BADGES OF THE ARMY CORPS.

Gon. Rutttirlleld Kxplulns How lie Camo to Invent Thorn. There has always been much speculation as to the origin of tho corps badges of the army of the Potomac. It was well known that Gen. Daniel Buttcrfiold was the father of the system, but how ho came to choose the various designs has never boon told unAil now.

In answer to an inquiriig comrade Gen. Buttcrfiold tells th-j "why and wherefore" of tho designs. Ho says in reply: "The idea nnd design ot marking the troops, ambulunceu artillery, guns, caissons, baggage Wagons, with a distinctive mark to show thoir corps and division, and also a headquarters flag to show from a distance the location and whereabouts of corps, division and brigade headquarters, occurred to me early in the war, and I urged itupon Gon. and discussed the subject with others. Gen.

McClellan did not adopt it. Gen. Kearney put a red patch on his division (the troops only). When I was called to headquarters of tho army of tho Potomac as its chief of staff I determined to put my plan and idea into effect at once, aud Gen. Hooker, then commanding, approved it "The array consists of tho First, Second, Third, Fifth, Sixth, Elovonth and Twelfth corps.

The selection for a design for the First corps was Biniply tho first thing thought of a dlso had no particular reason or causa. A patch or lozongo was reserved for the Third corps, ns Kcarnoy'a division was of that corps, so that tho mark ho had put on his men need not bo changed, nnd that incident fixed tho color of tho mark for the First division red tho white for tho Second, and bluo for tho Third, following naturally as national colors. "For tho Second corps tho trefoR was chosen as a sort of shamrock, thero being many troops of Irish origin or "descent in that corps, and I wished tho marks to becoino popular with tho commands. "In tho Fifth corps in my old brlgado was my old regiment, tho Twelfth Now York, which I had commanded as a militia regiment beforo tho war. I had decorated many of its officers and raon with bronzo and gold Malteso crosses for efficient and thorough discharge of duty prior to this, so I reserved tho Maltese cross for them for that reason.

"Tho badges or marks of tho other corps named therein wero chosen by mo for no reason other than to havo somo pleasing form or shape, easily and quickly distinguished from the others, and capable of aiding in tho 'esprit do corps' nnd elevation of tho moralo nnd discipline of tho army I desired to establish, which at that time, generally speaking, was simply abominable, desertions occurring by thousands, and monoy nnd clothing being sent for the. purpose, which we seized and held at headquarters, delaying the money and keeping back the civilians' clothing to prevent its uso for desertion. "Through theso measures, with others, tho moralo of tho army and its tono was restored and improved to a very high standard, higher, I think, than it ever had before or after. "With corps marks or badges other than those I have hero referred to, I had no part in designation, except in the Fourteenth corps (Gen. George II.

Thomas). The general and myself had served as brigade commanders in Patterson's column in '01, and were personally well When wo took the Eleventh and Twelfth corps from the army of the Potomac to rc-enforco tho army of tho Cumberland (after Chickamagua), Gen. Thomas first saw and liked the idea of our corps marks and badges. He directed Gen. Whipple, his udjutant-general to prepare one for the Fourteenth.

Gen. Whipple had many designs of a geometrical form, but Gen. Thomas did not seem to like them, and told him to send for me and consult me. I saw his forms, and told him that, had I commanded the Fourteenth corps, which 'stood as firm as an oak' at Chickamagua, as it was then spoken of, I would give them the acorn for a badge In honor of their bravery. Gen.

Thomas said: 'That is what wo shall do; let it be the With this exception, beyond the corps I have mentioned, I had nothing to do with the designation of forms and marks, save that the idea and custom aroso with me and was followed by others." Chicago Tribune. FOUND HIS FATHER'S BODY, Thoagh It Ilnd I.iiln In a Xameleag Grave for Mirny Years. "Now' this is a true story," said sx gentleman whoso office is a door or two off upper Broadway, "and the question is, was it fate, psychic attraction, an overruling Providence or but I'll tell you the incident. "When the war broke out my brother and a classmate of his, to whom he was much attached, both enlisted at the, same time and departed for tho south, leaving behind in the little town in western New York, their young wives, to whom they had been married but a short time. My brother's chum, whom we may call Ned Brown for convenience, had, I think, been a husband but six weeks when ho left for the front.

Brother Jack was soon after transferred to the adjutant-general's department, so saw little of active service, and Ned was in the division of the army which remained in the vicinity of Washington for about a year. Then came the battle of the Wilderness and with it the startling intelligence to Jack that Ned liad been mortally wounded and had sent for him. Ha made all haste to the side of his friend, who soon after his arrival died in hia arms. "As was usual after great battles, tho dead were buried, many together, in large trenches, and my brother was much troubled over the probability of there being no means of locating or identifying the body, when, as he felt sure, the family would wish to send 'or it. Thero had been a little son born to tho young soldier in that far-away village by the lake, and he felt that tho child, who had never looked upon his father's face, would one day want to know at least whero his body lay.

"The men in charge assured Jack that the body should bo placed at tho head of tho trench, and if any murk could bo left upon it, it would bo easily found. For some timo my brother wondered what ho could do. Then an idea ntruelc him. Ho found a bottle, und placing inside of it a paper upon which was written tho name and regiment of his friend, he tied it about the neck of the corpse. "Some time afterwards when Jtriends of the dead soldier came for the body other tranches had been dug near tho first and it was impossible to identify the spot, though the grief-stricken widow could scarcely bo prevailed upon to give up tho search.

"Well, just tho othor day a young commercial drummer from a Rochester house found himself in the quiet town of Petersburg, and to pass away a dull Sunday went out to tho soldiers' burying ground. After ho had wandered around for a timo among tho green mounds ho suddenly saw painted upon a woollen slab a name that made his heart leap. "It was his father's name. And thie was Jack's boy, tho boy the bravo young soldier had so longed to see. Years ago when tho bodies wero removed from tlie old trenches and re-burled, the bottlo with its bit of paper had been tho means of identifying one, at least.

"That night there flushed over tho wires this messago to the soldier's widow: 'I shall bring home father's body with mo next N. World. FARM AND GARDEN, COOL DAIRY ROOM. A. Building That Cnn lie Kept at Low Temperature Without Joe.

The cross section of a building which, may bo kept at a comparatively low temperature without ice during the hot summer months is. shown hore. It Is much used in Australia. The building has a latticed veranda on threo sides and may bo briefly describod as a rectangular room or box 13x8 feet and 10 feet high. This room has a window at one end and door at tho other, the side which has tho veranda.

The cross section shows tho roof as not touching tho cool room by a space of 0 inches. wlf 3 Ft This roof may be made of bark or shingles. This permits a free passage of air under tho roof and over the ceiling of the room. Tho of tho room are also shown to bo double, the spaco to be filled up with sawdust or charcoal, but this is not absolutely necessary. At the opposite end of tho room will be noticed the door, having a hole Oxl'J incites at the bottom, covered with perforated zlno or wire gauze.

At the other end of tho room is the window, running to the coiling. The lower cut shows a framework to be covered witli canvas or calico to be placed over the window on tho outside. Above this, framework fasten a bucket and fill with water. Put in one nd of a piece of flannel and sew the other all arouivl tlve canvas blind. At the bottom of the frame put a bent tin gutter to take the water and let it drip into another puiL The water is drawn from the upper pail by capillary attraction, keeping the canvas blind saturated with water.

The air before passing into the room has to pass ovor and under this saturated blind and, owing to the evaporation, is considerably cooled. The poor air passes out of the holo in the door. Experience has proved that such a room is at least twenty degrees colder than the outside air. It is strongly recommended to set banana trees all around tho house if possiblo and much better results are obtained from their use, the difference in temperature sometimes being twenty-five or thirty degrees. Farm and Home.

FACTS FOR FARMERS. Clovkh loosens up the soil penetrating it and when it decays helps the soil mechanically. The same principle which has caused the wholcsalo slaughter of birds and animals and the waste of fertility and timber in this country is shown in the manner in which our highways have been treated or left without treatment. The only solution for the diversity of opinion and results obtained in various farm practices is tho difference in men and their adaptability to carry out in practice the various methods and practices on which successful agriculture depends. If the pig must be fed on slop let the slop consist of wheat middlings or bran and skimmed milk.

Such slop will make a pig grow rapidly, and if it also has the run of a clover Held it should Iceep in good health, as it will not be liable to disease of any kind. Besides the three ingredients in fertilizers which are commonly mentioned, the soil must have humus vegetable matter to hold moisture and to make plant foods available. A plant takes food only in liquid form that is, the mineral foods. Clover will furnish humus if plowed under. Wojien who are willing to work havo their attontion called to the dairy.

Tho oxccllonco of French roads is woll known. Tho Unitud States consul at Bordeaux describes how they aro made.

Tho materials am brought from tho nenrcst quarries and placed at either side of the routo aurveyed. In order that tho full amount contracted may bo delivered tho s-lnne must bo heaped in angular piles of prismutie shapo and fixed dimensions. Theso heaps, placed at a given dlstanec'-ixotn one another, aro afterward visited by au official inspector, and must in all instances fit exactly beneath a skeleton frame carried by him. Tho material is usually marble, Hint atono or gravel, and whatever is used must be of tho best quality and cleansed from all foreign substances. The stone must bo broken so that each piece may pass through a ring 2J-j inches in diameter.

It is then spread evenly over the road, the Interstices being carefully tilled in with small pieces, so that tho whole is smooth and rco from abrupt eminences and depressions. A steam roller then crushes nnd further ovons tho whole, after which a superficial layer of clay and eartli completes the work. Roads aro olussed as national roads, which aro the maiu arteries of tho sybtem connecting most distant parts of tho country, and are constructed and maintained by the government; department roads which connect different points of the same department or of two adjoining departments and are constructed and maintained by the department; highways and public roads, which are the property of the commune through which they run, but in practice made and repaired by tho department from taxes levied on the commune, supplemented by a department subsidy; cross roads, which are maintained by sums derived from the ordinary revenue of the commune, occasionally supplemented by additional taxation, and country roads, which are kept in order by tho commune, except they are injured by unusual truffle, when an indemnity may be claimed by the communal administration. For the purpose of maintaining the common roads the inhabitants living in the district are obliged to work three days in each year or pay an amount equivalent to the compensation of the laborer for threo days. The consul at Havre says that French pavements increase in excellence with age.

In France, lie says, all roads havo perpetual attention. If from weight, rain or other causes a hollow, rut or sink is found it is repaired at once. Where the space to be repaired is of limited area the rolling of the new coating is left to the wide tires of the heavy carts, but in the cae of extended areas a steam roller is brought into use. Every carrying and market cart in Franco is a roadmaker instead of a rutniaker, for it has tires usually from four inches to six inches in width. Column's Rural World.

TO KILL TREE-BORERS. Unadulterated Korosene the Host Itemed)- Yet Discovered. Quite a number of ways for destroying tho lnrviu of various kinds that livo in the bark and sapwood of the npple and other varieties of the fruit, trees have been published, says C. B. Ashton in Insect Life, biitnono of them aro as good, hi my judgment, as the way that I now recommend.

I know of no better way of putting a stop to their depredations than by using unadulterated keroseno quite freely wherever the castings of the larvoj are seen protruding through tho bark. As soon as tho kerosene comes in contact with the bark it is nbsorhed nnd carried by capillary attraction until it permeates tho wholo burrow and comes in contact with tho larviu, nnd then soon this noted littlo tenant is lit'nlebs. In using kerosene thero is no uso cutting, digging into or in any way mutilating the tree to find the larvio. Tho finid keroseno will find it, and this is enough for praetlcnl purposes, nnd then nature "steps in" with her "healing' art" and mends tho damage done to tho tree. Tho amount of kerosene used for this pnrposo is so small that it endangers in no way the health of the person can visit and inspect many trees in a single hour, and if necessary apply tho spout of a can and flow a small amount of kerosene in various nlaccs.

ho beauties of this way of killing tho borers are no mntiiatlon, qulclrl work, sure death nnd little expense. g-rq is I 1 1 CORN 2 S3 I en I.
