 LIVING IN PARIa-As we shall all want to start for Paris next month to see the great exposition, we may as well begin to count the cost. The Graphic gives the following cheering intelligence :-"One may at ordinary times live in Paris very comfortably on $s or $l0 per week, and this will include car fares and admission to the theatres, great and small. Possibly, during the exposition prices may rule lit tie higher. In the Latin quarter an apart ment need not cost more than $1 50 or $2 per week. Two good small rooms there will rent at 30 francs (about $6) per month. Breakfast, coffee, and all the bread you can eat, cents: lunch at noon, or the real breakfast in Paris, 1-2 francs, or 25 cents this includes the half bottle of claret; the same price for dinner at five or six in the evening.
 Fifty or sixty cents per day will feed you well. If you choose to eat in your room you may. Tn buying cooked food (and every variety of food is cooked and held for sale by the cut in Paris) live for thirty cents per day on roast fowl, various kinds ot salad, fried fish and potatoes, baked ap- ples and pears, pottage or bouillon. It's not bad for change, and far better than any cheap food you get in New York. To familiariEe yourself with the French quick ly, buy your own groceries. Prices of such staples as flour, sugar, coffee etc. are more extensively marked than with us, and every shop window is practical edition of Ollendorf. Oniy there are no quarts, gal Ions, pints or pounds, feet or yards. These are all changed to lltres, { a little over a quart) metres (three inches over the Eng fish yard) and kilogrammes or "kilos" Qwo pounds three ounces avoirdupois)
 The smallest French coin is the copper centimes. corresponding to our cent. The smallest silver coin is the 50 centimes, cor responding to the American dime, The franc IS 20 cents American. The average seat in the uppermost gallery of the French theatre is railed, cushioned, and as com fortable as the more expensive ones below. and costs but shilling.
 You will recollect that the museum and galleries of the Louvre are always free; al SO the Jardin des Plantes or Geological Gar dens; ditto the Museum of Luxembourg l lace ditto the Hotel Cluny on certain days, which is palace showing the style of royal household furniture common 800 years ago; ditto the palace at Versailles. These alone will interest you far more than the Exposition, for they contain the accu- mutation and historic association of centu- ries.
