French Economy.

The French laborer probably gets
more for his wages than any other
His food is cheaper and more nourish-
ing. His bouillion is the essence of
beef at penny per bowl. His bread
at the restaurant is thrown in without
any charge and is the best bread in the
world. His hot coffee is peddled about
the streets in the morning at a sou per
cup. 1t iscofiee, not Stops. His half bot
tie of claret is thrown in at meal costing
twelve cents. For few cents he may
enjoy an evenings amusement in one
of the many minor theatres, with his
coffee free. Six cents pays for nicely
cushioned seat at the theatre. No gal
lery gods, no peanuts, drunkenness,
yelling or bowling. The Jarden des
Plantes, the vast galleries and museums
of 5he Louvre, Hotel Cluny, palace of
the Luxemberg and Versailles, are al
ways 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 worth living for.
Economy in France, more than in any
other country, means utilization of
what we in the United States throw
away, but it does not mean pinching
process of reducing life to barren ex-
istence of work and bread and water.

MOllie and the CatamOunt.
Dallas LTexasl Herald

Miss Mollie Schultz of Montague
county is the champion lady shot of
this section. She is ready with either
a rifle or shotgun, and handles the pis-
tol with great skill. Tuesday after
noon, accompanied by gentleman
friend, she mounted her mustang and
rode into the woods to kill some squir-
rels for supper They met with good
luck, and almost every shot brought
down a bunny. Her companion had
killed two more than she had, and she
was beginning TO feel somewhat piqued
over being outdone, when they both
spied large catamount in the topmost
branches of tall tree. Eager to beat
his companion, he fired three shots in
rapid succession at it, missing it each
time, when Miss Schultz fired her first
and only shot, which took effect, when
the animal sprang from the tree, light
ing on her forse behind her, which
frightened it, when it dashed off
through the woods at a furious speed,
throwing its fair rider and afterward
Kidding itself of the catamount, which
her companion dispatched, Fortunate
" she was not hurt by her fall, and es-
capped with only slight shock to her
nervous system.

Elevated Railroads.

Elevated railroads are now entitled
to rank among American Institutions.
and in the future will call for large
consumption Of iron. There are, ac-
cording to the Iron Age, three schemes
of this character under discussion in
St. Louis, and the only question is
which shall be adopted. Philadelphia
is making good progress in following
the example of New York Brooklyn
encounters an obstacle, partly arising
from the contiguration of the surface,
which favors the construction of tun-
nels, but the city is in desperate need
of some form of rapid transportation.
Boston hesitates, apparently on account
of objections to architectural disfgure-
ment. But elevated railroads in all
our large cities is only a question of
time, for while individual pieces of
property may be injured by their pro-
pinquity, millions are added to the ag-
gregate assessable value, and their con-
venience is beyond calculation.
The latest phase in New York is the
employm mt of elevated roads for the
transportation of freight. By no other
method yet contrived can the jam of
vehicles on our water front be relieved.

We are told that a California editor
and printer, whose arms and legs are
totally paralyzed, sets type with his
teeth-putting his editorials and other
articles in type without writing them.
OF course he clips paragraphs with his
teeth also. There is printer in St.
Louis who is sans legs sans arms and
teeth; he is match for the California
typo. Tue St. Louisian sets type with
his ears. He puts an editorial in type
with one ear while composing an orig
inal poem with the other. The only

New York Elevated Railroad.

A New York Star reporter took a ride
on the elevated road the other day, and
among other sights he saw he gives the
following:
An old lady with spectacles, on the
top floor of a house, was seen quietly
watering her hower-pots on the window
sill, when a bald-headed man three
floors beneath popped his billiard ball
like head out of the window. He i'm
agined that stream from the Siamese
nozzle of Engine No. &c had struck
him, and as the train moved away
the old lady suddenly disappeared, and
shrieks were heard, from which it might
be inferred that the bald-headed man
objected to any such recipe for making
his hair grow.
The boldest man on record was dis
covered. He was standing at the open
window with his razor in the air delib-
erately shaving himself, while a few
children fought around his legs. He
swept that razor blade around just as

Perpetual Motion.

A New Orleans shoemaker imagines
that he has produced machine which,
when completed, will exemplify the
principle of perpetual motion Hollow
wheels and leaden balls, the move
ment of the former being controlled by
an unequal counterpoise of the latter,
are the principal features of the ''dis-
covery" There are few minor de-
tails to perfect and then the machine
will go, and the ingenious mechanic
will achieve immortality. But it is al
ways, sad to say, these "little things
that interfere with the realization OF
the hopes of inventors of this class. 1t
will be soin the case of this one.-iSu1,-

The electrician, Edison, comes to the
front again with new invention. By
means of new process Of separation
by the use of magnets, the sand on the
seashore is to be converted into what
is known as Swedish iron, q quality of
metal now only obtained by importa-
ton from Sweden. BY Edison's process
the iron particles are extracted from
sand, which is to be found in unlimited
quantities along the Atlantic, the cost
of the operation being less than 81 per
ton, including Edison's royalty of 30
cents per ton. The magnetic ore thus
obtained is then converted into blooms,
and is ready for the market at a far
less price than that for which the
Swedish iron can be imported. Edi-
son declares that two miles of Long

LEAVING THE FARM

And so the time has come, my man,
The end we've long f0reseen,
When We must leave the dear old farm
With ali its meadows green;
The mortgage is foreclOsed. they say;
And might makes always right.
But this is not the end we saw
When we began the fight.
How often in the egentide
We've planned for future days
When We could send the girls to school
And drive our span Of bays.
Ere then We thought nice new home
Would lend an added charm,
II looked so easy then to pay
The mortgage on the farm.
But wears passed on and troubles came;
( think well always Iniud
The summer that you Iroky leg
And | got almost blind
We scarce could pay the interest.
With doctor bills and all
And hired help for everything
From early spring till fan.
The corner lot" has cost Us, man,
A hundred dollars clear
For every acre stumped and fenced
1t seems so very queer,
know we've more than paid the price
OF every rod Of land,
! ct we 90 forth in our old age
With helpless empty hand.
To every foot ct this old farm
We're bound by priceless bands;
The orchard and the shading elm
Were planted by our hands,
The claim We hol within our hearts
Wrought out with honest toll
The counterpart our spirits hold
No sheriff can d.spoil.
Yet IL Is hard. God knows how hard
To leave the dear old place,
And know that stranger hands viii soon
Old landmarks quite eface;
But then dear man. it is not long
Wen need home below,
Wen bide the house not made with hands,
Where healing waters flow.

The Telephone i'm Hungary.

Mr.. ID. II. Washburn, who has been
engaged for some months introducing
the telephone into Buda-Pesth, Hun
gary, reports very encouraging success.
He writes that the director of the COM
pany, Mr.. Francis Puskas, had obtain
ed the exclusive right to use the tele-
phone in Hungary, and that connec-
tons were being made between Buda-
Pesth and the adjacent towns. The
charge for the service is fifteen guilders
about six dollars-a month. TIE Ed
ison transmitter is used with magnetic
CALL Supplies are got mainly from
New York.
Mr.. Washburn finds the Hungarians
very backward in the adoption of mod
ern improvements. A good mechanic
in Buda-Pesth gets from six dollars to
ten dollars week, and does as much
work as an American, with improved
tools, could do in an afternoon. The
cost of living is reasonable, a good din
ner with wine costing about seventy
five cents The beef is poor, and the
pork dear, guilder (forty-one cents a
pound. Vegetables are good and cheap.
Rents are not high.
As an indication of the lnconvenl-
ence o. a paternal government, Mr..
Washburn mentions the fact that be-
fore a man can subscribe to the tele-
phone exchange, his name and bust
ness have to be sent to four different
government offices for permission. The
telephone company has to report to
the authorities what everything costs
and what every employe receives. ''In
fact" adds Mr.. Washburn, every one
that lives here is but slave of the
government"
