Journalism in Paris.

They have a peculiar way of carry
ing on journalism in Paris. A printer
leases large building, in which he puts
down steam engine and several
presses. A capacious room, centrally
situated, is set apart for the compost
tors, and offices in various parts of the
establishment are placed at the disposal
of the editorialstaffs ofthe journals that
are printed on the premises. Some Of
these papers may have their own COM
positors and their own types-that is a
matter of arrangement; but everything
s set up in the common room and
printed in the landlord printers presses.
As the compoSitors of the various jour-
nails are only separated from each other
uy imaginary divisions awkward acci-
dents occasionally befall. In the hurry
of going to press or in the dim light

fitted up with gos) it, sometimes hap

Food for Fat People,

If any reader is growing too fat for
comfort, he may possibly find the fol-

There are three classes of rood, the
oils, sweets and starches. the special

heat and produce fat, having little or no
influence in promoting strength of mus
Gle or endurance.
If the fat, therefore, would use less fat

products of the grains-except the hulls
less of the sweets, particularly in
warm weather, and more Of the fruit

more in the open air, the fat would dis
appear, to a certain extent at least,
with no loss of real health.

trol in this matter, far better than we
can have in the use of drugs. If we
have TOO much fat and too little muscle

The First Banks.

We are generally told in histories OF
banking, us, for instance, in that by Gil
bert, that the first national bank was
that of Venice, founded in the year 1857,
but agree with Mr.. Mcleod, that this
institution was not at first, in any sense,
q true bank. The State being deeply
involved in debt, its creditors formed
into a corporation, and the debts made
transferable like our consols. 1t was
not till 1887 that the institution began
to take money on deposit. The deposi-
tors received n credit on the banks
books equal to the actual weight of the
bullion placed there, which the bank
undertook to keep intact in its vaults
and to repay to the depositor at any
time, or to transfer to any one else. The
earliest real bank was that of Barcelon,
founded in H0l. In this case the city
funds were made responsible for any
moneys intrusted to the bank, which
not only receive deposits but exchanged
money and discounted bills. The bank
of Amsterdam was founded in 1909.
The so-called bank of st. George, at
Genoa, dates bank to 1875. The bank Of
Stockholm, which commenced in 1868,
was the first bank IN Europe to issue
banknotes, which, until that time, were
totally unknown in the West, although,
rs we have seen, they had been in use in
China. Nineteenh Century.

How TO Keep Teeth Clean.

There is, Of course, quite a genera

not uncommonly an abuse of them for
want Of proper instruction. tbs getting

and patients now than formerly that a
crosswise brushing is not wise, but that

ward and the lower teeth upward. 1t
is a common mistake not to brush thor
oughly the buccal and posterior surfaces
of the third molars, and the lingual sur
faces of the lower front teeth. / am
sure that nothing like an adequate
amount of care is given to this preven-
tive service. 1t cannot be too strongly
impressed on the guardians of children
that they should see that the practice of
brushing the teeth thoroughly is begun
as early as possible, so that 1t shall be-
come habit to be continued through
life.
Concerning the forms Of brushes,
will say that straight brushes are utterly
impracticable on the surfaces to which
have referred as the ones most neg
lected. Curved brushes with tuft end,
bud-shaped or convex, are tho hest.
There are several favored forms that arc

The wood toothpicks so generally fur
nished at public eating places are a
source of much evil to the soft tissues
between the teeth. All kinds ofmetallic
toothpicks are Objectionable, though I
am aware that it is the practice of some
dentists TO commend them TO their
patients.
The value OF a decided polished sur
face of the tooth becomes very apparent
to those who have had the operation
performed; the facility with which such
teeth can be kept clean is evident; and
although this condition may have been
secured at considerable expense, yet ii
is an investment that will pay a good
rate of interest. / do not think many
dentists have much idea of the beautiful
polish that a human tooth will take.

that the general idea among the people
is, that interfering with the surfaces of
the teeth destroys the enamel, but we
also know that this is a popular error

SIauGhtering Elephants.

Here is true elephant story for you
from an American missionary, who once
lived among the Dutch Beers of Natal
for seven years. He saw the ivory, and
believes the story:
One afternoon, about four o'clock.
three Dutchmen were out hunting, and
came upon a large herd of elephants
They fired at the leader, and instantly
the entire herd fed. The leader rushed
on and on, thinking he was on the right
track to escape; but the elephants were
s'pNa valley and only ran round and
round 1t, in a circle perhaps three hun
dred yards in diameter, and were shot
down from four o'clock in the afteanoon
until eight in the evening, when dark
ness prevented the Dutchmen from TAX
ing aim any longer. But The three men
rose at break of day. and found the poor
elephants still going round and round.
1t was several hours before new
leader. breaking out of the beaten track,
led off the remainder of the herd in
safety. The Dutclmen, whose names
were Botha and Potgeiter, two being
brothers, counted the slain. Ninety
elephants lay dead in the valley, and as
their valuable tusks of ivory were
divided equally among the three Dutch
men, you can believe that each mans
share was considerable. st. Nicholas.

A Stranger in the Supreme Court.


1.-The apparel oft proclaims the man."
said Polonius. lie was judicious in not
substituting always for oft" For, not
unfrequently, 1t has been found that the
finest bird is not the one that wears the
finest feathers.
Years ago, the staid citizens of Wash
ington were astonished one morning at
the appearance Of strange figure in
their streets. He was dressed in an old
pair of corduroys, ripped at the ankle
for convenience in rolling up, a drab
overcoat, much the worse for wear and
furnished with several capes, hung al
his heels. WORKOUT, united, unbuck-
led shoes, and shocking hat COM
pleted his costume. Solemnly he stalked
through the streets, six feet in height,
leading little black, rough-haired filly,
her tail matted with burrs. A pair OF
saddle-bags hung over the saddle, in
which were stuffed papers, and ginger
bread and cheese. Stopping at an OBJ
scure tavern, he put up his mare and re-
licved himself of his great-coat. Into
one of the pocket CT short gray linsey
roundabout he stuffed some bread and
cheese, and into the other bundle OF
law papers. tied with yarn string. In
quiring the way to the supreme court,
he walked forth, the wonder of the idle
boys. Arriving at the courthouse, he
sauntered within the bar, took seat and
began munching bread and cheese. The
lawyers aud spectators smiled at the
awkward countryman on his first visit
to the capital.
Soon case was called which seemed
to interest the countryman. Itinvolved
the title to large tract of land lying in
the "Green River Country" of Ken
lucky. A Mr.. Taylor, of Virginia,
leading lawyer, began his argument by
a statement of the facts. All at once the
countryman stopped munching, and tap
ping the council on the back, corrected
one of his facts"
Inc lawyer paused, lrowned AT tne
busybody, and went on. The country
man resumed his munching, and in a
few minutes again corrected the coun-
sci.
" / beg the court to protect me from
the impertinence of that person." said
Taylor, showing much irritation.
Taylor finished his powerful argument,
and then TO the amazement ofspectators,
the bar, and the judges, the stranger
rose to reply. His manner was wholly
changed. He stood as If he had prac-
ticed in that court all his professional
life. His argument was so clear and
forcible, and his reply to the opposing
council so mastery, that the bar and
court Hooked as if they doubted their
eyes and ears. Mr.. Taylor seemed para
lyzed. The sweat dropped from his
face. The rustic he had sneered at seemed
a legal giant. Every one asked: WHO

Photographs on Leaves.

The beautiful Photographic novelties,
photographs on natural leaves, are pro-
Cuced IN The following way: Fresh
leaves, preferably such as afford a
smooth surface when pressed, and have
an agreeable degree Of Transparency, as
those of the spring. are first immersed
in alcohol until they are pale enough in
color to form a pleasing background
for the photograph, and at the same
time become less liable to change Of
tone. Bleaching the leaves will not
answer The same purpose. After drain
ing off the alcohol, they are spread out
in the air until leaves originally firm be-
come wilted, and are then pressed for
half an hour between blotting-paper.
The upper side of The leaf is then iioated
on salted solution of albumen,
or brushed rapidly with it by means
of broad brush, and the coating is
dried as rapidly as possible by hanging
the leaves on cord with the albumen-
lied side nearest n stove. in order that
all the natural moisture of the leaves
may not be lost, or they will become too
brittle for the subsequent manipula-
tions. 1t may even be advisable to
moisten the unalbumenized side of the
leaf during the drying. A second press
ing is also generally necessary at this
stage, and they are then Immediately
sensitized, either by floating them on a
solution of nitrate of silver or by brush
ing them with it, and dried with the
same care as before, and may again be
pressed with advantage before exposing
them under the negltive.-BdGGr.

Mining In Colorado.

tits 10 be noticed that here. as in other
similar regions, public interest is con-
tinually attracted TO new discoveries,
aud floating population at cnce draw
thither; and events move so rapidly
that an account of the state of affairs
in the mining regions may be stale be-
fore it is In type. On the other hand, IL
may be said that even If some of the
people 60 away, the mines remain, and
the silver and gold come out just as
surely and easily as before; and a larger
area than ever is now the scene of active
operations.
Starting from the north we come to
the mines of Boulder county not far from
Longs Peak, where there was an ephem-
eral excitement, some three years
ago, about telluruim veins. Then come
those of Gilpin (Black Hawk, Central
City, etc. and Clear Greek Georgetown,
etc. counties, the former noted for gold
product, and both containing what are
called "true fissure veins" where the
rocks have been broken or torn asunder
by earthquakes or volcanic disturbance.
In this neighborhood some of the earliest
discoveries were made, and the bullion
product of the two counties is large and
steady. Then come various points in
the South Park, and just between the
Park and Main Ranges, California Gulch,
Low known from one end of the world
to the other, for here is Lcadville.
South agHin. and between the Sierra
Mojada and the Sangre de Cristo lie
Rosita and Silver Cliff, and southwest
again of this, the great San Juan district.
Discoveries have also been made in the
Gunnison and Elk mountain country,
away west of the Snowy range, and only
treasures are to come TO light In these
regions. 1t is needless TO say that
several quarto volumes could easily be
written about these mines and their
operation, and still much be left unsaid ;
and perhaps, indeed, in view ofthe rapid
movement of events, the writer of such
a work stands in greater danger ofbeing
behind the age than he who attempts
some random sketches of the haunts and
ways of the "honest miner $50 first
called, it is said, by aspiring patriots
who sought his sutGrages. Mr.. Harte
declares that when sets Of pictures por-
traying the contrasted careers of tho
honest and dissolute miner were first

of their effect, for the reason that the
average. miner refused to recognize hi.r-
self in either capacity.

resolutions worthy of Leonidas; he may

sooner or later, if he stays in Colorado,
the mania for the precious metals will
make an easy victim of him; he will

Under the Snow.
Tho valley layeth all pure and white
Its quiet meads in the pale moonlight;
The earth is praying beneath the night,
For winter hath hidden her flowers from sigh
Under the snow.
Over the hills the far stars CLEAN,
Shivering down In the air between,
Looking in vain for the rivers sheen,
For the drifted icehelds intervene,
Under the snow.
Only the spangled pine-tree crest,
Or the hemlock holding last years nest,
Only bare maple bougbs east and west
Cast their shadows; lost Is the rest
Under the snow.
The winds whirl down from the cold east hill
And blow through the valley sharp and chill
Not grass-blade lilteth its head at will,
And even the busy leaves are still,
Under the snow.
And the violets list and the daisies wait
Till time fiings open the summer gnte;
Till cowslips come and the wild birds mate,
And warmth brings lie 10 the small and grea
Under the snow,
Oh, Fad, cad heart, with your weight Of woe
Some winter has robbed your fields, and 10!
Where trad arbutus would lift and show,
Nothing awakos to Gloom and grow
Under the snow.
But wsitl when the letters OF doubt shall start
Then lie will come with its loving art;
For, in its chambers, every heart
Holdeth the germs OF bloom apart,
Under the snow.

the spring. The exact number of stops
has not been determined, but there will
be about 100. The Albert Hall organ,
now the largest in existence, has Ill,
the organ in Music Hall, Boston, eighty
four, ard the Cincinnati organ ninety
six. At one end of the cathedral there
is a room in a tower behind large
painted window, where part of the
organ will be placed, which will be con-
nected with the keyboard in the choir
by electricity. The window will be
opened and closed by an electric appar-
atus, which will produce the effect of an
ordinary swell organ. Above the cell
ing. in the center of the building, will
be the echo organ, and beneath the choir,
in chapel, is still another part, each OF
which will be played from the choir.
And finally the great chime Of bells in
the tower will be connected with the
chair, so that the organist can use It in
connection with the organ. The bel
