is to be a curiosity in restaurants the "Pen-
sion Alimentaire," founded by philanthropic
merchant to supply the working people Of this
busy quarter, the "ciy" of Paris, with something
fit to cat at price within their means. Here you
may have soup, meat, vegetables, bread, wine,
and dessert, all of perfectly wholesome quality,
for seventy cenumes, or little less than fourteen
cents American money. The Pension makes its
own bread, kills its own OK every day, and serves
about 1,O00 meals in the same time, at an average

themselves, getting their food at one counter, and
going to another for their knives, forks and
spoons. y
