BORROWED SpLENDoR.-A Paris CORES
popdent, writing of the parVenus that lntass
the gay metropolis, says: They have also done
much Injury, because many families initiate
their uzuries without having the means to 90
90. There arc many houses in Paris where the
evening entertainments are very brilliant: DDS
this is borrowed splendor. ,
The pictures attracting. your eye are nireo OF
the picture dealer, the gilt chairs ana settees OF
the furniture dealer, the diamonds ana pearls
which tho lady of the house wears are ootroSeu
from the jewelers., and scarcely mas tne lss'
guest left the house when these costly articles
mnst bo returned to the owners Even the
f.uits, the gigantic apples and pears, Whicn
stand on the table in silver vases, are, like the
vases, hired for the occasion.
Not iufreuuently magnificent carp ls placed
unou such tables, and after having excited tue
admiration of tho guests for few minutes, 1t ls
removed. The guests are then served Win
little pieces of dimiuutive carp; but the msgni,
fceut fish. like the baseess fabric OF vslon,,
has vanished into thin air. 1t was also hired.
snd after playing its short part, it has returned
to the dealer in decacies.
fish cannot, of course, delixht the eyes
very long without offending the oltaotoriea, put
thcre are always in Paris fruits Of rare beauty,
which during the winter season appear on the
tables of numerous houses, aud it may hippen
that guest who has seen pear on table 10
the Rue de Richelieu during the month OF
January will greet the same as an old acQuain'
taucc in February on table 10 some otneF
quarter Of the city.
1t is an old story of trying to throw dust 10
the eyes of the world in order to attract inna
- 10 tn mi
ters, and to provide the sons With government
nositions, This does not always work, but
tbero arc some who succeed, and the Prize 10
we'll worth the trouble. But those who are suo.
cessful end by running themselves, and when 10
is too late they see that Fortune runs after her
favorites, but it is seldom attained by those
who pursue her.

THE AMERICAN NATURALIsT.-The
present number of this valuable pnbli-
cation is even more than usually inter-
esting. The opening article, " How
Our Ancestors in the Stone Age made
their implements" very fully describes
the process Of making obsidian arrow
heads by an old Indian, as seen by the
author. The arrow heads were made
with the simplest tools, and without
the use of metals, and the process
throws much light upon what has here
tofore been somewhat of a mystery.
Colorado Plants" is list of the
plants of that State, chiefly of interest
to botanists. An article on Mold as
an Insect Destroyer" contains some
original and valuable suggestions bear
ing upon the important problem of the
destruction of noxious insects. Notes
on Pacific Coast Fisheries" speaks of
the difference between the supplies of
the western and eastern markets, and
gives much interesting information.
The concluding article ON the " Fertil-
ization OF Clitoria and Centrosema," is
an interesting contribution to botany.
The General notes are as usual crowded
with items and news of importance to
naturalists. Price 81 per annum. Pub
lished by McCalla and Stavely, 1878

Real Estate in the West.

The Denver Land Co. offer in another
column alternate lots in their addition.
These alternate lots are in fact given
away, though nominal charge of one
dollar is made for the deed. The Com
pany limit the number purchasable at
this price to five lots. Many of the
large cities of the West have been
started in a similar manner, and those
who secured lots then, find themselves
now In possession of valuable property
The opportunity does not often present
itself Of making an investment in real
estate at such prices. The reliability
Of the company and their title to the
property being we'll established, there
could be no risk, with fine prospect
for a rapid increase in value. Denver
has had such wonderfully rapit
growth, il is probable that the land of
fered will be speedily taken up.
