French Methods of Swindling.

have sometimes written about the odd way
that the French people have of charging for
services that have not been rendered, and for
work that has not beea done remember
when L first came to Paris being decidedly
amused at the experience of an American lady
who had an electric bell in her apartment
The bell refused to ring one day, she sent for
the man who had putt upto set it to rights. He
showed her that there was nothing the matter
with the bell, some mechanical interference
having prevented it from sounding. The next
day she got his bill. After charging for the
time lost in going to and from his shop IA legit-
innate charge enough), he had added this item !:
"For looking at the bell'-S1. But this bill
was surpassed by one that was lately presented
to French lady whom L know quite we'll
She was taken i'll last spring with typhoid few
er, and was confined to her bed for some six
weeks. During all this time female ehirop-
odist whom she had sometimes employed testi-
fed the most touching interest in the case.
She was never admitted to the sick room, but
she used to come to the door daily to inquire
into the condition of the invalid. Finally the
patient became convalescent, and one day the
chiropodist called and presented a bill of start
ling dimensions, My friend was quite amazed
at the amount as she had only employed the
woman occasionally. On investigating the
items she found one, namely, Inquiry for
Madame" repeated frequently, with charge
OF 81 each time. what does this mean?" she
inquired Of the chiropodist Madame, those
arc the visits that made while Madame was
so i'll. !" "Whatl you expect to be paid for cal
ling to see how WASP" Most certainly, Mad
ame.' "Who sent for you or asked you to
Gomez" mo one: it was only the great interest
that took in Madame "And Won want tn
be paid 81 visit for that interest? It is pre-
posterous. / shall not pay you single cent for
anything OF the kind" So, despite the indig-
nant protest of the chiropodist, my friend
struck out every one Of the charges of ''Inqui-
ries after Madame" which made up no less
total than $42. The bill, thus shorn OF three
fourths of its proportion was then paid, and the
woman prepared to go. "And when will Mad
anne require my services again?" she asked
"Never-you have tried to swindle me, and
shall never employ you again" Whereupon
she burst into tears and departed, declaring
that it was her great love foI Madame that had
induced her to make these constant inquiries
and of course she expected to be paid for the
time she had lost in making them.

Eighty Miles an Hour.
A Run from Boston to Providence in
Fifty-four Minutes.
boston Journal.l


Through the kindness of Superintendent
Folsom Journal reporter was permitted to
ride upon the "Shofe Line express on the
Boston and Providence Railroad. The train is
the fastest run on the road and a brief descrip-
tion OF his experience will not come amiss.
The train on this special occasion consisted of
eight cars heavily loaded. At o'clock tba
last bell sounded, and the reporter, after pro-
ducing his credentials, clambered into the cab.
The steam gauge indicated 100 pounds, and
had there been thermometer the heat would
doubtless have registered an equal number of
degrees. The train rolled slowly to the cross
ing and then the throttle-valve was thrown
half open. The increase of speed was soon no
ticeable, and in rapid succession Roxbury,
Boylston, Jamaica Plain, Forest Hills and
Mount Hope were left behind. Along this por-
tion OF the route there is succession Oh curves
which render quick time an impossbility, but
after passing the last mentioned place there Is
straight stretch of road over a mile in length,
and here the speed was INCREASED. Hyde Park,
seven and a half miles from the start. was
passed in twelve minutes and then, with no
curves for over Ave miles, the engine settled
roads to Sharon Heights is grade seven and a
half miles long, rising forty-one feet to the
miler and as the train crawled up this inclined
plane Of nearly 800 feet there was an apprecia-
BILE slackening Of the speed. "You'll see some
fast time now" remarked the engineer, as he
opened the throttle valve still farther, and, in
response to the word, the engine leaped for
ward for its wild race against time. 1t seemed
gigantic monster endowed with life. At ev-
cry pulsation of its mighty heart it made re-
newed efforts to escape We were on the
down grade. Objects few backward with
tightening rapidity. We were plunging for
ward into space. To see an object was to be
upon it. Behind was the long line of cars; be-
yond-nothing. Occasionally the engine would
give lurch as If gathering its force for still
greater speed. But this could not last long.
Eight miles behind us was the top of the grade,
This distance had been traversed in SIX min
utes! East Foxboro', Mansfield and Attleboro'
were left in the distance. We had run thirty
three miles in forty-one minutes. Providence
| was eleven miles beyond, and in twelve min
utes we had reached the round-house; fifty
| three and half minutes had fed, and Boston
| was forty-four miles away. A delay of a min
| ute was caused by required stop at the round
house, and the train steamed slowly into the
| Providence station, having made the quickest
run on record-going portion of the distance
/ at the rate of eighty miles an hour

A Novel With a Moral Purpose.

lAuVAIce.j
Mr.. Howellss story, which has been running
in the Century for nearly year is concluded
in the October number. It began lightly
enough, and led the reader along through
variety of personal incidents and social scenes,
more or less interesting, some of which were in
themselves far from being edifying. But the
closing parts of it have orne deeper spirit,
and shown the writer masterful as he is an ar
tist. With no impediment to his art, he has
been actuated by profound conviction, a
burning purpose. Alas and alasl this ''modern
instance is no solitary instance, but one that
is eminently typical of hundreds and hundreds
that are going on all around, eve ywhere and
all the while. Thanks to Mr. Howells for u.s.
ing his high position and his consu inmate skill
to reinforce the efforts of such men as ex-
President Theodore Woolsey, the Rev. S. w.
Dixie and others, in wax ening the public at
tention to that insidious and terrible drift of
influences which is thre atening the purity and
integrity of American homes, The carefully
verified statistics of marriage and divorce, even
in the most favored portions of our country,
show CHASTITY state Of affairs, and hint at mod
ern instances innumerabe each one of which
if told with minute and artful realism
would be seen to be quite as tragic as any but
the most morbid mind would care to dwell up
on. 1t was high time that some of our fore
most novelists took this matter in hand, with
serious and sacred intent The modern novel
is the pulpit from which one like Mrs. Stowe
or Mr.. Howells may speak to immense andi-
encss and not only SO, may hold their atten-
tion for weeks and months together, to some
single theme. But too often the high gifts of
art, in the novel as on the stage have bssely
divorced themselves from conscience. and if
they have not directly pandered to sinful pas
sions, have wasted themselves on aimless trivi-
alities. Mr.. Howells himself had sometimes
practised his hand at the sufficiently painstak-
ing elaboration of stories that were, after all
was said, but little better than dainty trifies.
This time, at any rate, he is in earnest.
