her that Il. was useless to expect relief

her that every tooth would have to

but she had suffered 80 long and tried
so many remedies in vain that without
more ado she mounted the dental chair,
and in few minutes the dentist re-
moved the old snsgs that had been the
source of so much annoyance. and she
returned home. When her husband re-
turned from his work that evening. be
lookesi at her in perfect amazement q

he offered to produce a man who could
live on air for twenty days for thous-

wait until after the horse race was over.
Meanwhile he was paying the board

allowing him liberal whisky money.
Last night, after the race, he succeeded
in making a match with Shaughnessy
and Walker for 81. 200 that this man
could fast twenty days. Both sides put

How the French Manage.

When we Americans are botherinc
about '.family help" it is aggravating
to think how much better they manage
these things in Paris. A correspond
eDt who has been studying up these
points writes rs follows: sr
Imagine the convenience of having a
nice. tidy woman coming up to your
rooms early in the morning. say 8
o'clock. cooking your breakfast and
then doing all your chambcr-work.
sweeping. dusting and leaving you in
perfect order for the day by 10 O'clock,
just two hours, and all this for the mod
est cost of ten cents. Their charges are
actually but five cents an hour. A
great many quite well-to-do families
live in this way. having the femme de
menaye two hours three times day to
prepare their meals and do the necessa-
~ housework. For those who do not
care to take their early breakfast at
home there are the incest little places,
called c,'eme'Ies, where you Can get a
bowl of coffee or chocolate and roll
for four or five cents. These little es-
adjustments, in addition to their early
breakfast trade, sell fresh butter and
eggs, milk and cream. cheese and fruit.
1t is surprising what small quantity
of provisions you can buy in Paris. For
example. who would dare in New York
ask for two cents worth of butter?
Here it is matter of course. and the
fresh. clean-looking girl. always wear
ing q white apron and cap, serves you
across snowy white marble counter,
and cuts the exact quantity with - wire,
never making mistake as you will see
when it is weighed. Among other con-
veniences for those who do not want, to
cook at home are the chd,'cuterie shops,
at which are sold cold ham. tongue.
veal and delicious .eelatinc, a, sort of
boned chicken and turkey, all kinds of
sausages. and even sardines at retail,
two for a cent. These are all sold by
the small quantity.
A slice of ham for five cents is
enough for several sandwiches. Again
chicken Just out of the oven, whole or
breast All Kinds of game or meat are
to be had already roasted, or cooked to
order, and sent home atn any specified
hour. It is an immense convenience.
and great saving in fuel alone. There
arc also to be seen little stalls where
fried potatoes and small fish are sold
hot. overy day from IL till to 20 clock.
when you win meet strings of girls and
men in their blouses hurrying of with
a brown paper bag steaning in their
hands. two or three cents worth being
enough for meal. even for hungry
man. .4.ltzfr o.fG sf 4e-.5s .s5
Speaking of fuel. 1 must tell You of
q little contrivance Idi>covered which
is Invaluable, and certainly tho ,ci,eal-
est cooking apparatus ever, invented.
It is n tiny stove of sheet-iron. hardly
larger than q qpart measure,, 1t costs
about twenty-five cents. The material
burned init is sort of very fine char
coal called brofse., which is bought at
the bakers. It is the residue of the
baker fuel. and it is sold very chcaply
-fonr cents worth being enoligh to
sst the whole week. Tie fire in this
httls stove is enough to make tea and
coffee, and to boil eggs. or even to broil
fish or chops. 1t makes no dirt. and it
is exceedingly easy to light a lire. .
