How rhey Keep clean I'm France.


The liliputian water pitchers in
the chambers first arrested atten-
ton, says Prentice Milford, in one
of his recent Paris letters. There
are few water pitchers in Paris hold

sent for, and request made for a
more commodious water pitcher.
An English or American family
can't be washed in a quart Of water.
The landlord of lodgings by the
month answers with a grin and a
shrug. That's all the increased
water privilege you'll get out Of him.
The chamber floor needs scrubbing.
Tile French dictionary is consulted
for words suitable for "pail, "soap"
and "scrubbing-brush." The in
depreciation is conveyed to the land
lord. But they never scrub cham
Der floors in France. They'll scrub
a cuort-yard, a bridge, or a dog.
On the quays one may continually
see men whose business it is to
scrub dogs ip the river, but never
chamber floors. They'll wax your
floor. They'll wax over the old
dirt, and when the next deposit ac-
cumulates they'll wax that. Every
