WAS made, bread, and small TASKS of the
uommonest wine. His idea expanded, and
Ne afeeCyards took . bathroom which was
70 Let In the Rue Montesquieu, near the
Palais Royal, where he established the first
Grand " Bouillon Duval." There remem-
6cr the only interview I ever had with
him. He told me that his original thought
wns only to provide for the working classes
In 1A0 aAteri0r Of RaEis. . repast at as cheap
. rate . they could get it outside the
baxriers g places like the Petit Rampon-
near. But he found his bill of fare so at

. aoq4Ance-the to him unexpected conse.
: Quence-Was that the blouse was driven
out by the palet0t. The French working
2an, though he could eat at the Z" Bouillon
Duvain q cheapiy and muoh better than
n HIS accustomed gargotes, was too proud
o. thrust himself upon the society OF peo-
- @uch bettor dressed than himself. Dn-
val went on constantly enlarging his bust
1ess, and sticking to the original system Of
over, eoniine. himself to the original soup
and bo1illi; roast meat, fresh game and
vegetables, were all to be had in the
proper season, Of better quality than in
many q first-class restaurant, and at
/, charges less than in many of the very
worst. Some Of his dining rooms, such as
those Of the Rue de Rivoli, and in the
Boulevard Montmartre, are magnificent
saloons, the panels of which are decorated
with really charming works of art. The
female walters, about whose character
1crupulous inquiry Is made before they can
get An engagement, all wear neat, num-
like uniform, reminding me of that of the
cooks in the kitchen Of the House of Com
mons. Duval, whose spirit of enterprise
was unbounded, still continued his primi-
tive trade Of butcher, although he be-
came the largest caterer of cooked pro-
visions in Paris. His immense shop in the
Rue Tronchet, furnished with marble
counters, is q well:known repository for
the best beef and mutton to be had. For
many years he was the purchaser of the
Boeufs Gras, and he delighted to loli in his
chariot following the cortege. This simple
man leaves fortune Off 600, OO7f, acquired
By intelligent and honest industry. His
funeral service was celebrated at the
Church of st. Augustine, which was too
ANAL to hold the thousands who crowded
to pay him q last tribute Of respect. All
the men had q small bouquet of immortelles,
in their button hole; the women carried it
I'm their hands. The bier was completely
covered by wreaths and bouquets. The
deceased is sure of the eternal gratitude Of
All who can appreciate an artistic and
healthy dinner at Q seemingly impossible
low price, Of whom am one.
Waas isso BstsssNy The usual notion !
Of butterfly is q gay, futtering thing, |
whose broad painted wings are covered |
handling. This 10 all very well for q
general idea, but the characters that form
it are common to other insects besides
butterflies. Moths and hawkmoths have
mealy wings and are ofen gay colored;
while, ON the other hand, some butterflies
winged tiger and Cinnabar motus get the
name of butterflies, and the meadow brown
butter8y>is sure to be called moth. So,
rs neither color nor mealy wings furnish
ns with the requisite definition, we must
and some concise animation of characters
that viii answer The purpose. Butterflies,
hen, are insects with mealy wings, and
whose horns, (called antennen) have a
ciub or thickened tip, give them more or
leas resemblance to drum stick. So the
Inference In the shape of the antenn@ is
The chief outward distinction between but ;
terhiea and moths, the latter having anten-
n@ OF various shapes, thread or feather
like, but never dubbed at the tip.
The Organs of Hearing and Smell in In
sects.-Mr. Oore, ON o recent work on the
anatomy and physiology Of the flesh fly,
states his belief that the organ Of smell is
which are remarkably dilated, and are COW
bred with minute openings communicating
with little sacs in the interior. The halteres
be xegRrds az the organ Of hearing, their
,&vtty being filled by very large nerve
in nerve cells, which is con-
1eeteG with o number of small, highly re-
Eacting bodies, regularly arranged around
he base Of the organ.
A Nan Selling for Money Ais Share in the
ftsSssse Llfe.-Before court in the province
ef Pesth, Hungary, suit was pending, in
which an aged Jew was to make a state [
ncnt under oath. He was ready TO take
no cath when another jew arose and pro-
esEed against it: 1This man dSre not
AXE en- oath" "Why not 2" asked the
udge. There exists Hebrew prayer /
which contains the sentence, that 'every |
eW has o share in the life to Gomez It is
ow about twenty years ago, whilst was {
resent, when the man who is now about
o take an oath sold his share in the life J
0 cOme,' guaranteed to him in the prayer, ,
o another jew, q Mr.. Y, who paid him ,
ertain amount of money for it. AS he, I
cannot count any longer on !
uture existence, he has nothing to fear OF :
lope for in the life to come; it must be !
ertainly Indifferent to him whether to i
wear TO q trnth or helsehood." The /
natter was examined into, and AZ the I
fEange transaction wac found TO have 1
AIKEN place in reality, the court granted I
be protest OF the old man, and the party J
rho sold his share in the life to Gomez !
Tas declared incapable Of taking an oath. | 6
