Dining In Paris.

A Paris letter to London Truth SAYS
that the number of dining-places in
the French metropolis is vast. The
cheapest are the tables dhote of the
clearinghouse. They are also the
best for the prices that are asked. cap
ital dinners are given in some of them
for 3 francs so centimes, wine included
The worst of these meals is the com.
pany one falls in with at them. 1t is
fearfully dismal unless taken in phil
osophical spirit. One often sees high
English gentility, at once pretentious
and mean; "old soldiers" retired
priestesses of Aphrodite, who want to
enjoy little of the calm of bourgeois
life, matrimonial agents, sentimental
widows from Brighton, Bath and Peck
ham, old Indians, Americans in Grip

cry or In rows, forms the decorative
effect on many handsome tailor-male
cloth and velvet dresses.
The Breton waistcoat, profusely
embroidered, and frequently orna-
mented with coins and medals, is
worn in Paris by women of taste.
Moss green in the cloth combines
with golden brown velvet, in the vel
VET with pale blue, and all of the
grays except Russian and slate.
Gold lace pins are finished in dead
gold' plain, and with lilagree orna-
mentation. These pins also come in
Indian molten gold, which is of dull
surface, but artistic and effective.
The majority of imported Paris
dresses are very much trimmed, but
The plain, youthful costumes of the
English and American artists are
much more admirable and admired.
Flounces of Oriental and Escurial
lace adorn the fronts of handsome
dinner and reception dresses, and
these llounces are scantily pleated
over bias folds of velvet in the same
or contrasting colors to the dress.
The fancy of facing the bottom of
the skirt with deep bands of fur,
Astrakhan, velvet, and plush extends
even to milliners' folds of soft silk.
These delicate triple folds of silk, the
same shade as the wool material of the
dress, are put on in oblique lines run

that are deeply pointed in plastrons

Advice TO Girls.

Do not estimate the worth of a
young man by his ability to talk non
sense, nor by the length of his nous
tache.
Do not imagine that an extra ribbon
tied about the neck can remedy the de-
feet Of IA soilcd collar and untidy dress
If your hands are Drowned by labor,
do not envy the lily fingers of Miss
Fuss and Feathers, whose mother
works in the kitchen while the
daughter lounges in the parlor.
If a dandy with cigar between his
fingers asks you if smoking is often
siye toyou, tell him emphatically that
it is. The habit should be, even
though the odor may not.
Do not waste your tears on the
imaginary SORROWS of Alonzo and
Melissa, nor the trials of the dime
novel heroines. Seek rather to alleviate
the woes of the suffering ones of earth

Something mysterious tied up in a
Whit jar attracted the attention of
customers at prominent drug store
and the druggist goodnaturedly united
the cloth and took out some black,
wriggling worms. They were round
or elongated at pleasure, and started
off when touched with a pencil at a
rapid pedestrian gait, until headed off
and dropped back into their damp, por-
celain pit.
They are leeches,' explained the
druggist, and came all the way from
Holland. Twenty years ago, when
blood-letting was in vogue. they were
in great demand. Now they are only
occasionally called for"
"ln what class of diseases do they
use them?"
Disorders of the head; if there is a
numbnesS or pressure Of blood on the
brain, chronic headache, etc. They
put them on the temples and let them
suck the blood till they are full, when
they fall off. Salt is then thrown on
them and they disgorge, and are ready
for use again"
"llow often can they he used?'
"a number of times. There is one
lady in Detroit who keeps pet leech.
When her head aches she applies the
reptile to her temple and sits down to
read. When it falls off she drops it
into glass of salt and water, and if
her head is not relieved applies it
again, until sometimes she has used it
three or four times, and lost some
ounces Of blood"
A more convenient way of using the
leech is now in vogue. 1t is slipped
into glass bulb with an orilice small
er than the reptiles body. Through
this it projects its head and fastens
upon the human flesh, in which its
banquet is waiting.
There are plenty of leeches in the
neighborhoOd of Eoorec and other
river hamlets, and the boys often col
lect 50 or 100 and try to dispose of them
to the drug stores, where they are re-
fused as a general thing; then they Of
fer them at the Chinese laundries,
where they cook them with rice and
macaroni. There are some specialists
who use them for valuable oil they
are said to make. In New York
there are artificial ponds where the I'M
ported leeches are kept. The whole
sale druggists buy them in tubs of
black earth packed almost solid. They
only require air and moisture to keep
them alive. When the cover is taken
off their jar they swarm out as lively
as crickets and use their ten eyes to
good advantage in getting away as
rapidly as possible. Boys call them
blood-suckers, and have a dislike to
their acquaintance when fishing, as
they fasten on to their bare feet with
a tenacity that allows no chance of re-
moving them till they have filled them
selves with Observation-Disclosures Post
and Tribune.

The TichbOrne Prophecy.

1t has long been known that the in.
tegrity of the cerebral hemispheres is
not essential to the continuance of life
and that they may undergo consider.
able morbid change or mechanical
injury, accompanied by extensive loss
of substance, without fatal result, OF
even serious impairment of the vital
functions
Bearing upon this point, Fischer re.
ports in the DeutSche ZeitSchrUG FIN
Chiluvgie an interesting case of an
accident which occurred during the
unloading of carbine, by which the
brain was transliXed by ramrod, with
out fatal result. The ramrod, which
was of iron, entered the thorax to the
right of the fourth dorsal vertebrB,
passed upward in the deeper tissues of
the right side of the neck through the
base of the skull and brain, and pro-
iected to the extent of thirty cent?
meters out of the left side of the head.
After an opening had been made into
the neck the rod was driven backward
through the skull, by the stroke Ct a
hammer, and taken out at the neck.
The patient recovered, except that he
remained blind in the right eye.
An effort to initiate the injury on the
dead body showed that in the neck no
important vessel or nerve was injured,
that the instrument entered the cavity
of the skull through the right
optic foramen, tore the optic nerve,
and then entered the space between
the two frontal lobes, and penetrated
the brain only to the slight extent of
three centimeters, and wounded only
the anterior edge of the left superior

A RAmr0i Through the Head.

A rather remarkable prophecy was
brought prominently to light by the
late Tichborne claimant. Early in the
seventeenth century Lady Tichborne
begged of her husband to create dole
for the poor; that he should set aside
portion of land, the product of which
should be given them. The lady at
the time was sick in bed, and not eX-
pected to live long. Her husband, to
avoid the gift if possible, told her he
would give all the ground she would
walk over. In spite of her enfeebled
condition and the immediate danger of
death, she left her bed and actually
crawled over several acres of good
ground, and was carried back to her
bed to die. That portion of land is
called Crawls to the present day.
Before her death she made this
prophecy-that if the dole were neglect
ed the house would fail; that the
family would become extinct from lack
OF male heirs; that generation would
appear having seven sons and no
daughters, and the generation following
would have seven daughters and no
sons, and in this way the line would
become extinct.
The dole was continued until 1899.
In 1903 part of the hot Sc fell. Sir
Henry Tichborne, seventh of the name,
son of the one who stopped the dole,
had seven sons and no daughters.
Sir Henry Tichborne, eighth of the
name and eldest son of the above, had
seven daughters and no sons.
The prophecy and its fulfllment are
too lengthy to follow out; but few
years ago the fortunes of the house
depended on single male heir, and
then the dole was established, and
after this that puny little fellow seemed
to thrive. OF course it remains to be
seen whether or no the re-establishing
of the dole has broken the spell.

The CITY of the ParScPs,

Bombay is called The city of the Par
sees, from the fact that large por-
ion of the population are Parsees, a
strange sect ol people. Bombay and
alcutta are great rivals, each claim
ng to be the second city in the British
umpire, London being first, and each
claiming about 100000 population.
Both are great commercial cities,
Bombay being the chief seaport of
western India, as Calcutta is OF east

beautifully shaded with cocoanut-
palms. 1t is Il cosmopolitan city; its
streets are a perfect Kaleidoscope. Like
New York, it is built on an island, and
las enc Of the finest harhors in the
world. In the streets you see the IA
nous jugglers of India swallowing
inives and snakes, taking glass balls

And here are the snake charmers,

unity, their fangs being extracted
In Bombay one can see any day three
nodes of disposing of the dead. The
christians bury in the earth. The
IIindoos burn their dead. Sometimes
he remains are burned to ashes, but
)ften, for want of fuel, they are only
partially burned and then thrown into
he water. But OF all modes of dspos-
ng of the dead. the custom of the Par
sees is the most repulslve. They leave
heir naked remains on the top OF lof-
y stone towers to be devoured by
cultures. Across the bay from Eon-
pay are the celebrated Caves of ele-
ohants," gigantic subterranean tenn
oles eXcavatcd in the rock, containing
