Fry, No. 438 South Second street, ays: "For about 7 years I 'have been suffering with, kidney complaint, having backache that made me most miserable. It extended up my back to the neck and from there into my head, causing it to pirin me that I was almost wild. I have walked about my house for four days at time in a stooping position. I did not dare to straighten up.

If I did sharp, shooting pains were the result in the kidneys. In the morning I would get up to find that I was so stifE that I could hardly move. I had taken a great deal of medicine and used plasters on my back, but without any permanent relief. My husband got Doatfs Kidney Pills for me at Forney Knouse's drug store, on Market street, to see if they would help me. They did.

Almost the first day I felt some benefit. I continued their use for a short time, and now I cannot find words to express my thanks and praise for results. My husband is a fireman at the Electric Street Car plant on Eleventh street. There are only three of us in the family. I have since done housework for the three of us, and I have had no return of the 'backache.

Before taking Down's Kidney Pills I could never have done this. My sleep is now good and refreshing, and I give all th; credit to Doan's Kidney Pills. They ara a wonderful remedy." Doan's Kidney Pills are for sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Mailed by Fos ter Milburn Company, Buffalo, N.

The Earnings and the Requirements. There la Now Sharp Competition, but It Can Be Made to Pay Fairly Well Drawbacks and Advantages.

Copyright, 1806, by the Author. HEN ope looks at the nail upon the finger of a newborn baby, it is easy to see the truth in Voltaire's saying: "God made the finger of man and then fell asleep. While he slept the devil, always awake, placed on the tip of the finger a beautiful jewel a nail." But how this lustrous, opalescent jewel can deteriorate! What is more ugly than the human nail in its degeneracy? Manicuring is a comparatively new profession. It has scarcely been popular more than a dozen years, and the prices commanded at first by the work made it a luxury to be indulged in only by those with well lined pockets. The pioneers in the field easily received $2 for treating the nails.

As a profession for women it had plenty of elbow room then, but the salaries received were not unusual, because the number of customers at these rates were few. Gradually it became a fashionable thing to have nails giving evidences of more care than could be had from mere cleaning and trimming. Many women who found the services of a manicure too expensive bought sets of implements and the necessary unguents for home use and struggled on aa best they could with only a layman's knowledge of the art. Those were days when the cuticle was cat all around the nail, eo that the finger looked sore, when crimson dyes were used and a polish was desired to outrival the diamond in brilliancy. The dicta'tes of fashion have changed.

Only the top is filed and shaped, the cuticle left undisturbed except for a gentle pushing down all around. No dyes are used in fact, even an accentuated polish is now considered vulgar by the ultra fastidious. Most women have. their nails manicured at least once a week, as the prices now charged are very moderate. In sumptuous parlors and in the fashionable districts of all large cities you can have your nails done for 50 cents.

In quiet side streets and plain rooms manicures are found plying their trade for 25 cents. This fall in prices shows how crowded the profession has become and that, to quote a manicure's words to me when I questioned her, "its best days are over. Still, manicuring pays as well as many of the callings open to women. In a large establishment where a number of assistants are employed a good manicure makes on an average $8 per week. Going into a fashionable manicure "parlor" recently, I was impressed by the fact that all tho girls had remarkably good skins even for Americans, and this is sayiiig a good deal, for, while our women lack the exquisite coloring of the English and Irish beauties, they outrival them in the texture of skin.

Wheu I was seated by an open window thiough which a delicious breeze courtesicd and she had taken my hand into a loose, gentle clasp, we began chatting. "How is it all the girls here have such beautiful complexions?" I asked. "Is it necessary to have a good com plexion in order to be a manicure, or is it the result of being one?" "It is necessary here, and in every place, I presume, where cosmetics are sold," and she smiled a little cynically as she plied file and brush. "But your good skin is not the result of cosmetics, I'm sure. What do you mean?" "Well, this is betraying confidence, I suppose, but as yon want to know truthfully some of the little quibs and tricks in the business I'll tell you.

You see there is a counter devoted to cosmetics and lotions. My gracious, there is everything there skin tonics, freckle washes, wrinkle removers, bleach, blooms and heaven knows what else. When a cus tomer comes in, a circular of these things is handed to her, and nothing more is said, but as her nails are being done she has a chance to study the manicure's face in fact, there's nothing else for her to do and in nine cases out of ten she begins wondering if any of these wonderful appliances has been used by you. On being questioned you are to let her suppose this is so. In reality I never touch anything here except the powder, and very little of that, although I hear they are all good if you need them.

"Tell me something about this busi ness," I said. "Do you like your work? Would you advise a young woman look ing about for a piofession to adopt it' What are its advantages? What are its drawbacks?" "It is pleasant work in many ways," she said, but without much enthusiasm. "It becomes dreadfully monotonous, but I suppose all daily work does. The beginning is difficult. In order to learn it jou can either pay $50 to some good establishment or else give vour services for nothing for six months.

A girl who Has enough to live on and gives her services foi nothing is never taught as well, I think, because in many places he is sent out to do the hands of cus lomers oeiore sne is nt. She is never really taught. She learns by her blun ders. Sometimes a customer complains hero that her nails have been badly done, her fingers left sore. She ia not told that the girl has been practicing upon her, but that is really the case.

"You think it's better, then, for a girl to pay the amount down if she can?" "Yes, because in that way sne is taught rapidly and thoroughly and is fitted to take a position in a few weeks. Soon she makes up the $50 spent, where as in the other case six months' services for nothing siiow an expenditure of twice that amount." "How much does she make in the be ginning?" "In a place like this, which is not the best paying, she would commence on $5 or $6 per woek. But there's a light ahead of her. Let her do her work with excellent care, take an interest in it, show a customer that she couldn't pos sibly give more attention to it, be po lite, engaging in manner and not over talkative, and by cu greet) customers, having found out her name, will come and ask for her, will wait half an hour for her, if she's busy, rather than have any one else. This increases her value to her employer, and her salary is raised.

At length when she has oome to know her customers she takes them into her confidence and tells them she is about to start out in business for herself, and that for no extra charge sho will go to their homes and do their nails. The offer is always accepted. "She has to take away her employer's customers to do this. "Yes, but it is self preservation, and employers expect it in fact, they have to accept it. The customer wants your services, and certainly you are not to be blamed if by charging her no more you are able to make a better living for yourself.

I shall leave here within a month, and I know of 25 ladies who will give me their trade." "How much will you then?" "I shall charge 50 cents, going to their homes, and in most instances each will have her nails done once a week. In this way I will make $12 or $13 per week to start with and by degrees in crease my patronage until I make $25." "Then you will be perfeotly satisfied with your life?" "Oh, I will no doubt have some un pleasant experiences. You see I won't be able to select acid choose my custom ers. I snail also have to go to offices to do the nails of some of my gentlemen patrons and, oh, men make me so weary sometimes. If they only knew what fools they seem some of them only, of course when they think they must try to ogle, compliment and flirt with any young woman who has to earn her liv ing and who is thrown into their society under circumstances favorable to the development of these tactics.

They come in here, dudes and graybeaids, and try to get acquainted with the girls. We just "jolly" them along, and sometimes they think they've made an impression. We laugh at them behind their backs, and at last in good time "let them down hard," I can tell you. Another unpleas ant thing about the profession is that chiropody must go with it. A lady doesn't want to have one person to do her hands and another to attend to her feet, so it is almost necessary to learn both, and chiropody, while useful, can never be regarded as a beautiful profes sion, in these days ot pointed Doots, when poor feet are cramped out of all semblance to what nature intended, ladies need the services of a chiropodist about once a month or so.

"If you had to start again, would you be a manicure?" "Yes. I can't complain. You get awfully sick of the human hand, but it really isn't hard work to sit here in this pleasant room by this open window and chat to customers while I clip and polish and scrape. Kate Jordan. WOMEN HATERS.

Borne Kotable Examples of Men Who Car vied Their Hobby to Extremes. Henry Cavendish, tho famous chemist, had such an inveterate abhorrence of fe male Eociety that, from tho precautions he took to avoid personal contact with any member of the sex, he earned for himself the sobriquet of the Woman Hater. It is said that he used to carry on communica tions with his housekeeper respecting the dally wants entirely by correspondence, and a rigid rule was enacted in his estab lishment that on 'no pretense whatever might a female venture into his presence. Such women haters are by no means raro. A gentleman died recently in Vienna who used to adopt extraordinary measures to avoid contact with womankind.

At tho thoater it was his practice to book throe seats and occupy the middle one, sc that a female should not by any possibility sifc next to him. When traveling, he would engago an entire compartment in order to, avoid the risk of having a woman In the carriage, and he invariably chose the road in walking for tho reason that he was least likely to find a femalo there. The man's hatred of the sex was indeed carried so far that, In his mortal sickness, ho gave orders for tho purchase of six feet of ground on either side of his grave in order that in death a female body should not come within that distance of his. There Is a man now living in a London suburb who has a similarly pronounced hatred of the gentler sex. Being wealthy, he keeps up a large staff of servants, but no female is to be found among them.

Men anq boys have to do all the domestic affairs of the household, even to scrubbing the lloors and making the beds. Women (even the relatives of the servants) are strictly forbidden the place, and any men ial transgressing the rule by admitting a person in petticoats is instantly dismissed. An opulent gentleman in the north of England who has for years shut himself out from femalo socioty died not long since, leaving a will, the terms of which displayed in an unmistakable manner his hatred of womankind. Ignoring the fe males entirely, all his male relatives were provided with legacies, but on this condi tion that the single ones were to for feit their Inheritance the moment they married, and tho married ones were not to come into theirs while their wives were living.

MALE "BARGAIN FIENDS." One of Them Runs to Shirt Waists and to Socks and Is Smart. "Well, I should say sol" exclaimed a laughing blond at ono of the big retail stores. "Mollie, here's a gentleman wants to know If we have any male bargain fiends." Then they both laughed. I had struck their funny bone. "Tell him about Doll to." Well, Dollie's a real nico follow.

Ho's an architect. He says ho forgets all his troubles when he's in here, fumbling around among the 'fire sale' stuff, and when ho hits a real fat bargain, why, ho gives a little chuckle of a warwhoopjust like a Comanche baby in long clothes'. Funniest thing in tho world. What is his particular fad? Well, he runs mostly to ladles' shirt waists and men's socks. Heaven knows what ho does with all thoso waists, unless bo has ten sisters or a lot of other fellows' sisters to put 'om on.

Ho's up to snuff too. You can't sugar coat any old shoir goods pills lor him. And socks Gracious, ho must havo enough to stretch from hero to Onco and awhile ho strays off to tho handkerchief and under wear counters When tho bargains are in full bloom, and ho always gets tho boss tiling in sight. "Then there's another curious man buyer, but ho's different from Dollie. He never comes on bargain days.

Generally ho wants to buy or match some piece of cress goods, and ho's a holy terror. Most men, you know, leave those things to tho girls snap up tho first thing handed them and bolt out. But this man ho's about 60 buys just like a mechanic's wife with 12 children and a short purse. Tho girls would rather tackle half adozenposky and growling women than this one man." ew York Herald. Flirting Dangerous In Sicily.

In Sicily young men who nro eligible partis have to exorcise extreme care in their demoanor toward young unmarried ladies. To dauco with them so often as to bo remarked, to attempt to talk to them alone, is, to use tho ingenuous expression of an Italian friend of niino, to be expected to make you their futuro in law. In the lower classes a vendetta results if a man pays attention to an unmarried girl with out marrying her. Vendettas aro quite prevalent still. I heard a characteristic and rathe amusing story about one tho other day.

A gentleman coachman did his part in a vendetta and was sent to prison for a term there being no capital punishment in Sicily. His master went to visit him in prison and asked if he could do anything for him. "Yes, signor; if you win pay hair a Iranc a day for mo, I can havo a better room and better food and a shave." lie attached most impor tanoe to the shave. If a man sees his brother being murdered, not more than any ono else in tho crowd will ho do anv thing to bring the offender to justice. Ho may not even interfere, but he will take it upon himself as a sacred duty to kill the murderer whonever ho has him at his mercy.

GAiTBlJNG ATSEA. TALES TOLD BY THE STEWARD OF AN ATLANTIC LINER. I A Bet of 3,000 to on a Dice Can A Jack Pot That Was Divided Some Biff Winnings Occasionally a Man Loses Bis All and Drops Overboard. "What was tho most exciting game you ever saw in tho snaking room?" was asked ef a steward of ten years experience on Atlantlo liners. "It was a dice game," was tho reply.

A party from California was bound over, and thov were a verv liberal set nf crnntlo jinen. They sat in tho smoking room a good deal after the first day or so and played poker most of the time, but they jalwnys shook the dico when they ordered anything. This time I telling about they got to talking about the chances of certain numbers being thrown in succes sion, and ono of the gentlemen was saying that when any combination had been thrown a certain number of times in succession the chances were growing less and less all the time that it would be thrown again. So to explain what he was saying lie put iwu uiuB in in uus auu uarmea in to the gentleman on his right, who turned them out. As It hopened he rolled up sixes.

The money was covered and then he threw tho dice, double sixes coming both times. 'That's no great said the man who hadjost, 'though it don't often happen so. Bttt now I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll bet you $5,000 to tl you can't do It ten times straight, counting in the three you've 'I'll go you better than said the other.

That made four out of the ten times. Then he rolled twain and aeain and again, double sixes every time.

He began to grow pale, but the gentleman with the check up just puffed away at his jolgar and was as cool over it as if he had bet but a single sovereign. "The next throw was eight times, and double sixes showed tip again. That startled the rest all but the man with tho jcheck and two of them got up to watch, while the man with the box couldn't hold it still, he was that excited. He hesitated a moment after he'd dropped the dice in, and then, with 'a couple of shakes, just rolled them out once more and that made nine times double sixes had showed up. 'What will you give me to he said to the other.

'Wait a said the man with the check, and he took a pencil from his pocket and made somo more figures on a piece of paper. 'Four hundred said he. 'I guess was the reply. 'I'll go you for 'No more than $400. Go ahead," he said.

So the dice were rolled out again, and they showed up deuce, ace. 'I told you said tho winner per fectly cool. "Now that's what I call sporting blood. It makes me think of another game I saw that was just the other kind. There was a party of six playing a very tidy and fash ionable game of draw a guinea ante and skysail yard limit it looked like when they sat down, but you shall judge for yourself.

They played away with moderate luck for an hour with the gold instead of chips un til they fell into a jack pot. Talk about luck in throwing double sixes 1 There was luck in dealing for a pair of jacks. They shuffled and cut and dealt, with no one to open it, and then again and again for just 18 times. Then one of them says: 'It'll be bad luck if wo go on with this after reaching the thirteenth deal. Let's divide the And they did it.

I never saw anything like that before or since." "Is gambling dying out or increasing among passengers on tho liners? was asked. "Just now it is increasing. Gambling on board ship runs in tides. It will be Hood tide for a number of years gradually in creasing in volume until the newspapers oi the company or somebody makes a kick. Then there is an off tide for a season.

It 8 a difficult matter for tho ship's master to control, even when ho is not a sporting man himself. All tho big liners prohibit professional gambling, but all must per mit gentlemen to amuse themselves with games of small limit. But the trouble comes in telling what is a small limit.

Ho had a cou pie of handfuls of whites and blues besides. I don't think a win of more than 1,000 at a sitting has ever been noticed by any ono in my experience." "How about losses?"

Close Shooting. An Englishman who lived many years in Africa says that it is now several years since ho ventured to take one of the most daring shots that ever was hazarded. His wifo was sitting in the house near tho open door, tho children wore playing about hor, and he was without, not far away, busy with a wagon. Suddonly, ho says, though it was mid day, an enormous lion appeared at a short distance, slowly advanced and laid himself quietly down in the shade upon tho very threshold of tho door. My wife, frozen with fear, remained motionless in her place Tho children took refuge In her lap, and the cry they uttered attracting my attention I hastened toward the door.

My astonishment and horror may bo imagined when I found tho en trance barred in such a manner. Tho lion had not seen me, and I glided gently, scarcely knowing what I meant to do, to the side of the house and to tho window of my chamber, in which I know my loadod gun was standing. By a happy chance I had set it in a corner close Dy tlio window, so that 1 could reach it from the outside, and, still moro fortunately, tho door of tho room was open so that I could see the wholo danger of tho scene. There was no time to think, for the lion was beginning to move, perhaps with tho intention of making a spring. I called softly to the mother not to be afraid, and then fired.

Tho ball passed directly over my boy's head and lodged in tho forehead of tho lion immediately above his eyes and stretched him on tho ground. There was an instant of fearful suspense Then I fired again, but the second bullet was thrown away, for his majesty never stirred after tho first shot, and I leaped over his prostrate body to clasp my wife and children in my arms.

AN INGENIOUS PICTURE. It Shows the Head of a Living Person Ap parently Bolt Upright on a Plate. One of the latest tricks is to photograph a liVing head on a plate. The delusion is merely a photographic one. Photographs taken in this way show the head of a living person resting on a plate which forms part of the furnishing of a dinner table.

The object is not at all grewsome. In fact, it preserves an absolute lifelike appearance. The contrivance for bringing about this remarkable delusion is so simple that any one may arrange it It is only neces sary to remove tne central leaf of an ordinary extension table and to provide a plate or pan cut away so that it may be conveniently placed around the neck. The person to be photographed is seated under the table so that the head appears just above the table top. The cloth and the ordinary dinner set are then arranged in the usual way.

The head is put through a hole in the cloth, and the plate or dish is placed closely about the neck. Of course the delusion is heightened by tho camera. Any one would recognize the deception at a glance, but the. camera sees it with a more partial eye. Pictures made in this manner have often been extremely puz zling.

The trick of photographing a fly or an ant in such a way that it looks like some gigantic monster of prehistoric times is also very simple. The eye estimates sizes wholly by comparison. We judge the size of unfamiliar objects by comparison with more familiar ones. The moon, for example, appears very much larger as it rises above the housetops than wheu it is direct ly overhead. It is only necessary to set a miniature church about an inch in height beside an ordinary fly in order to show, in the photograph at least, a strange, fierce animal as large as a cable car.

The camera by reproducing only the two objects makes it impossible to estimate the actual size of either of them. This same principle has been applied successfully in photographing makes and fishes. An ordinary ground worm three or four inches in length has been made to appear like an enormous python. It is only necessary to twine this worm about a tiny toy fence and photograph it in order to produce an illusion which it is impossible to detect. New York JournaL Those Bleak Shores.

Even in Newfoundland's coast line, as viewed from the ocean, there has always seemed to us something appallingly forbidding and desolate. The last time we saw it was from the deck of a trading steamer, and for the whole of a gray December day its savage headhids and lonely bays followed one anotl in dreary and monotonous succession till they ftded into the wintry night There was no company on our ship, and the captain hugged the shore as close as he dared. We spent the day on deck with a pair of strong glasses that would have revealed any living object upon the melancholy russet liills, as yet untouched by snow, that swept inland from the cruel crags, up which the white surf was crawling. Here and there at long intervals was a tiny hamlet nestling in a cove, which only seemed to emphasize the desolation reigning over so vast an expanse of land and sea, for the latter was, of course, at this season of the year almost deserted. We had just left tho bustling coast of New England.

In a short time we should be amid tho busy hum of the Mersey. It seemed to us, when in the presence of these barren solitudes, well nigh incredible that such things could be upon a highway thronged, as this has been for 400 years, by thoso forces that above all others have tamed the waste places of the earth. There is, in truth, as this article has endeavored to show, no mystery about the matter. But there is something curiously fascinating in a coast so long a familiar unit in tho world's history and yet even now containing upon its face such scanty impress of human life and at its back none whatever.

Signaling. During tho march of Sir Robert Low's column over high mountains to the relief of the besieged garrison of Chitral communication between the two brigades was kept up by means of heliographs and dugs. Tho helio messages were Hashed from ono hill to another, miles apart, and then transmitted to the commander's camp by flag signals. Tho impression made by this signaling upon the Mohammedan natives was. made clear through an overheard conversation between two men waiting outside an officer's tout for an audience.

"Extraordinary devils, these kafnrs (unbelievers) said one of them. "One army sits down and talks to the other army with the sun on looking glass. And at night they put up two big lamps and talk to each other with them. "Well," replied the other, "they can't do anything when it is cloudy and there is no sun." "Oh," answered tho first speaker, "you may bo sure they have somo deviltry they make use of then. Tho two natives had not yet divined the meaning of flag signaling.

Youth's Companion. Forcing the English Language. Philologists assume too much. They do not make a language. They only trace its development.

Nor is a lanugagc as arbitrary system, however logical and exact. It is a growth, like freedom, from precedent to precedent. No doubt much of the opposition to the changes suggested by the philologists may be largely duo to prejudice. The eye slu inks from unaccustomed forms. Even so, the argument against these changes is sufficient, for if tho prejudice exists then no amount of reason can avail.

People will not spell in tho "reformed" fashion, though prominent editors and authors try to make them. We do not think that it is all prejudice.

Said a gentleman who has been a fre quentsojourner at Washington during the last 40 years: "People nowadays have a distorted idea of the hospitality of antebellum timos.

The truth Is that the customary hospitality of tho national capital was southern hospitality, and it was vastly different from the society and social customs of the present day. At that time if any man had expended $500 or $1,000 or $5,000 upon an entertainment of one evening he would have been regarded as unfit for association with leading men and women of that day. Tho mere expenditure of large sums of money would have savored too much of the shop and of the salesman. Senator Douglas was one of the most charming entertainers I have ever known. In common with other prominent men of the day he had his regular servants, and they served refreshments such as were in those days to be found in the homes of tho plain people and of the leading people of the country.

No one ever heard of set dinners with regular decorations in a stilted manner such as prevail at the present time. The entertainments were of a primitive nature that is to say, they were of a homelike nature. "Another thing that appears to me as remarkable is the ohange which has occurred in official life in the national capital. In the days before the war it was customary for gentlemen from the south who came to Washington as members of the house of representatives or as senators each to bring with him a young man, who was to act as private secretary, for the purpose of being trained in politics, because politics was the gentlemanly profession of the southern people at that time. The private secretary of a representative or of a senator was regarded as a student of politics, and his standing was such as a student of Yale or Harvard might obtain in the cities where thoso institutions are.

According to his family history and try and his own personal merit, the private secretary of a senator or representative was received in society, and he was regarded as a highly favored gentleman. Nearly all of these young men attained or achieved distinction as officers or soldiers in tht Confederate army during tho civil war, and a number of them have become mem bers of congress since tho conflict closed." Washington Letter in Philadelphia Times. What the Two Bead. I have In my mind's eye two old persons, the best I ever knew, the best I ovel hope to know. No one would perhaps actually call them "readers." They never seo even the outside of a novel.

I have indeed heard them quote "Lothair," and I think "Piokwiok" which to me is evidence of the tremendous rage there must once havo been for these two works of fiction. Once and again, too, a line from Shakespeare may fall from their lips. But, on the whole, they aro not what the world would call "readers." Probably they could not distinguish the "Thanatopsis" from the Thanatophidia. If one mentioned "Dodo" in their presence, their minds would in all likelihood revert to paleontological ornithology. If one spoke of "The Heavenly Twins," they would correct him and politely ask if it was not "Tho Hebrew Twins" that was meant, a recent work, which, I believe, deals with Jacob and Esau.

Yet these two dear old persons read as few people road. They read chiefly but one book, and this is the Bible, but they havo made that book their own as not evon, I vonture to say, has Air. Gladstone made Homer his own. I think I speak the simple truth when I 6ay they rarely have need to consult a concordance. So extreme a degree of specialism is not suited, of course, to "the genera." I merely cite this as an example of the efficacy of following the rulo to make one's own that which one reads.

And fortunately this rule is elastic, since it permitsnay, necessitates a choice of what is at once within one's capacities and consonant with ono's inclinations. Blackwood's Magazine. When Ton Talk. Don't monopolize all tho talk. Don't bo one of those whoso speech is like the steady flow of oil from a capacious tank, that seems as though it might gush on forever.

In ordinary conversation give your com panions a fair chance, and if you would be considered a good conversationalist be careful to do your full share of attentive listening rather than talking. Don't talk too much about your rich relations and distinguished friends. No ono is considered great merely because he knows great peoplo. Those who try to shine by this sort of reflected glory give out a very dim light, much dimmer than they imagine. Don't always talk on the same subject.

If you havo a hobby, whether it be the north pole or the equator or civil reform or woman's rights or anything else, spare your friends the infliction of hearing the same old story every time you meet them. Don't fall into the habit of talking to one who is occupied in reading. You are doubtless acquainted with people in whose presence you cannot take up a paper to read a short articlo without the disturbing consciousness that you are liable at any moment to be interrupted. If so, you realizo that this is a habit to be shunned. Don't in any conversation annoy your listener with the perpetual question, "Don't you think so?" Perhaps your listener don't think or caro anything about tho matter, or he may not wish to express an opinion on tho subject, or the thing stated may seem too absurd to deserve an opinion.

In any case the constant questioning becomes an Intolerable nuisance. St. Louis Republic. The Bee Is No Fool. A bee is a busy littlo creature.

When tho weather is fine, it puts in long hours, and if nature had provided it with an umbrella it would bo glad to work in the rain. It can gather about a grain of honey a day no more and therefore you wouldn't reckon a single bee at a high valuation. But a hive of tho ordinary sizo will shelter 10,000 bees who do day's work outsido in tho garden and 10,000 moro who do the cooking and sweeping and dusting inside. They make a nice little family, and if they keep steadily at it they make a good deal of honey, of which tho owner of tho farm religiously robs them. Years ago a speculator scut swarms of bees to tho West Indies, hoping to havo honey in plenty.

Lti B0JS DE BOULOGNE STORY OF FRENCH CAPITAL'S GREAT PLEASURE GROUND. Changes In Name Along With Changes In Aspect Destruction of the Old Forest and Planting of the New Paris Never Neglects Her Children. It is interesting to trace the historical associations of Paris' most celebrated place of publio resort, the famous Bois do Boulogne, ono of the few "lungs" of the great city on the Seine.

We have only to think of our own London parks to realize what tho Bois de Boulogne is to tho Parisians. To mutilate, disiiguro or inclose this beloved promenade would be a wrong done to tho whole city oue may say to the wholo nation. Tho'so called wood is tho last relio of tho vast Rouvray forest, which extended so far along tho borders of the Seine. It was just such a forest as formerly covered much of Great Britain. According to tradition Dagobert used to hunt hero in company with Saint Eloi.

A few rude huts and cabins were all that it contained. In all respects it was a similar tract of woodland to that which occupied the present site of Edinburgh. By degrees thoso who became property holders of the neighborhood cleared a large portion of the forest, which gradually lost its name of Houvray and took that of Bois de St. Cloud. Little hamlets began to spring up in the clearings.

Ono of the hamlets was named Menus les St. Cloud, and here, in 1319, some pilgrims raised a church which was a counterpart to tho church of Boulogne, which was then a small place1. From this circumstance the wood took the name of Bois de Notre Dame do Boulogne, which inevitably became Bois do Boulogne, and even this title is too long for Parisians, who simply say "Jae Bois." Kings and nobility already begun to raise their establishments in this beautiful neighborhood. Tho oldest of these princely residences was tho Longchamps abbey, founded in 1256 by Isabella, sister of the king, St. Louis.

She here instituted a community of women, joined by some of tho most famous ladies of society. According to usual custom, miraculous virtues were ascribed to tho plact after Isabollo's death, and it became a resort of pilgrimage. When in timo faith slackened and pilgrims becamo few, the lords and ladies of the gay court continued to make the abbey an excuse and an end for their promenades. The custom of walking out to the Long champs abbey especially prevailed during holy week and is said to have led to scenes far from edifying. Princes of tho blood came thither in company with ballet girlj and "figurantes" from tho Parisian opera houses.

These scenes represent the shad? side of the Bois' history that part ovel which it might prefer to, draw a veil. Other notable buildings raised on the forest were tho Chateau do Madrid, built by Francis and the Chateau de la Muette, which became the favorite residence of Louis XV and Marie Antoinette. A hunt ing lodge had formerly stood on this site, and hence the name Muotte. It was Marie Antoinette herself who caused the institu tion of Banelagh, after the model of the well known London variety garden, and the Parisians are indebted to anothen lady, Mile, de Charolais, for the delightful JNeuilly Pare de Bagatelle. Louis XIV laid all France under his debt by being the first to make rules for the due preservation of the Bois do Bou logne.

An edict of his, which continued in force for more than a century, clearly appointed the laws of its management, But the first Napoleon went farther than Louis in the attention that he paid to the forest. His orders worked a general trans formation. Where the too thick growth of trees impeded its proper development lie thinned them out so as to open numerous glades, alleys and arcades. In places he enriched the land by planting beeches, birches, maples and wych elms, which con trasted finely with the old immemorial oaks. Ho also encouraged tho growth of evergreens, and ho completed the good work by organizing a body of forest keep ers for the maintenance and guarding of that in which ho had taken such pains.

Even nature is susceptible of improvements except in the eyes of those who wish no landscape to reveal the trace of man's hand. Humanized nature has its own especial charm, such as we find not only in rich parks and ancestral domains, but also in rural scenes and meadows tipped with the villago spire. But in times of war keepers and regulations aro not of much account. During the campaign of 1814 15 the Bois was oc cupied by the invading troops and was very sadly devastated. Many of the most venorablo oaks, the pride of the neighbor hood, were beaten down, though somo of these still survive near the race course of Auteuil.

After the departure of the foreign forces it was found necessary for the ax to complete what war had begun, and then came an opportunity for fresh planting, With tho restoration chestnuts and moun tain ashes were introduced, and nurseries for fostering young trees were established, Under Louis Philippe attention was paid to the roads traversing the wood, which were still lu a very unsatisfactory condition. At the revolution of 181S the Bois Ceased to belong to tho civil list and became moro of a state domain. A few years previously it had lost a somewhat considerable portion, including the greensward of Banelagh. It was still in tho same con dition as most of the woodlands surround ing Paris. The roads crossing it were ill madoand ill kept, being everybody's prop erty, no.body attending to them.

A satisfactory change took place in 1852. An edict of the 13th of July in that year coded the Bois to Paris, under curtain necessary conditions. The town was to provide all expense of maintenance and preservation, to spend 2,000,000 francs within a period of four ytarc, from that date in the embellishment of the forest and its approaches, and to preserve the original character of tho land conceded that is, its continuance as a public resort, belonging to tho people. Paris lost little time in fulfilling those conditions. Two artificial lakes wire formed, with roads along their borders.

The Butte de Morto mart was formed of the earth thrown up in digging these lakes. New plantations wore proceeded with and the turf arranged in lovely stretches of lawn. Good days had como for tho Bois de Boulogne. Paris has never uegloctod what will give pleasure and amusement to her children. House hold Words.

The "Young Girl" In France. The most exquisitely humorous idea that has been sprung on the world at this end of the century is that theater which Mme. Sarainy is going to establish in Paris, a theater where there will be performed "only such plays as young girls may see." Of the strong, pure minded young woman who knows good from evil and knows how to protect her self the unclean French mind has no conception. George Eliot and "Romola." Georgo Eliot's first arrangement with tho publishorof "Romola" was for no loss a sum than 10,000 guineas. "As that is so verv laruo a figure," ho said, "I must run it through 15 numbers of Tho Cornhill.

"No, she answered. "It must finish in 12 numbers, or the artistic effect of tho story will bo lost. I quite understand tho necessity for its prolongation from a commercial point of view, so wo'll say 7,000 guineas instead of the 10,000." And 7,000 guineas was accordingly paid for tho copy ight. Three thousand guinea seems a large sum to give up for an artistic scru pie, but she did it. Working Off Old Stock.
