BARTON SPRIHGs.- the nineteenth
ult., the highest rise occurred in Barton
creek that has been known since June
10, 1869. For q long time the creek
above the upper spring has been per-
fecily dry, but early on the above morn
ing, while workmen were busily en-
gagged on the new mill dam, just below
the upper spring, a mighty roaring like
0 storm was heard, when they looked
up and saw body OF water, about FIVE
or six feet high, rushing down the dry
creek, bounding over the big rocks and
shooting up into the air like a water
spout. Striking the new dam, it was
carried away like chat before the wind,
the workmen barely escaping with
their lives.

The French laborer probably gets
more for his wages than any other.
His food is cheaper and more nourish-
ing. His bo1illon Is the Equid es-
sence of beef at penny per bowl. His
bread at the res t4urant is thrown in
without any charge, and is the best
bread in the world. His hot coffee
and milk is peddled about the streets
at sou per cup. 1t is coffee, not slops.
His half bottle OF claret is thrown in
at q meal costing twelve cents. For g
few cents he may enjoy an evenings
amusement at one of the many minor
theaters, with his coffee free. Six
pence pays for a nicely-cushioned
seat at one of the theaters.
No gallery gods, no peanuts, pipe
smoke, drunkenness, yelling or howl
ing. The Jardin des Plantes, the vast
galleries and museums of the Louvre,
Hotel Cluny, Palace OF the Luxem-
bourg and Versailles are free for him
to enter. Art and science hold out to
him their choicest treasures at small
cost or no cost at all. French economy
and frugality do not mean that constant
retrenchment and self-denial which
would deprive life of everything which
makes it worth living for. Economy
in France, more than In any other
country, means a utilization of wha,
America throws away, but il does not
mean pinching process OF reducing life
to barren existence OF work and
bread.

THE life insurance business in the
older States is losing Its popularity
with the people, and especially wealthy
people who insure their lives for the
benefit of their children and grandchil-
dren. Observation has taught them,
they say, thRt about the time policies
were to be realized, the insurance COM
panies break and away fly long antici
pated fortunes in money. Now the
policy OF taking out policies on their
lives is being discontinued, and men
are investing in wild Texas lands, by
the section. Lands, unlike insurance
companies, do not burst up or fly away.
This partially accounts for the heavy
business being done of late by immi-
grafton and land companies, and by
private parties carrying ON the real es=
tate business. Texas will be the gain
er by the ''change that has come over
the spirit of the dreams" of those hav-
ing money to horde up for posterity.
