French Jerseys.

There is one house in Paris devoted

any one wants to know if jerseys are
still fashionably worn, it is only neces-

which covers the steps. You enter one

which look out upon a garden like many
other Paris houses whose entrance is in

the room all wear jerseys-jerseys in
soft shades. exquisitelv braided or en-
broidered. jerseys with embroidered
vests, or vests and high close collars of
velvet jerseys daintily trimmed with
innumerable rows of fine gold cord or
braid. or jerseys whose merit was in
cut, material and finish, the only orna-
ment being the small gold or rosary
buttons. The material generally used
is fine, close, yet elastic stockingette,
of which also most admirably hitting
riding habits are made;- these are the
only exceptions to the jersey, and this
was first made at the instance of Gus
toners, and is rather exceptional and
to order. Otherwise the business. the

Many people who think they know
Paris well may be surprised to hear
that there are now eighty duly licensed
horse butchers in that midtown, as
Carlyle rendered Lutetia, deriving it
from lutum. which, by the way, may be
rendered by .taage as well as by boue.
But. again. the best form of the name,
as Prudentius gave it in 842. is not
Lutetia, but Lolita, which might easily
be twisted into the more appropriate
iotus-town. as good Americans who
love an endless afternoon will probably
agree. However that may be. not on
the lotus alone does your true Partisan
now live; for in 1883 thirteen
thousand two hundred and thirty
four horses, mules and don
keys yielded him, through these
accredited butchers, five million five
hundred thousand pounds of horse
flesh, which was sold at about half the
price of beef in similar joints. These

horse flesh makes better soup than
beef. The first of these eighty butch
ers' shops was opened in 1866. but the
trade did not greatly develop until after
the two sieges of 1901, when, owing
to circumstances over which there
was no control, the Partisan demand
for ''horse" more than doubled itself
at jump. and it has rapidly increased
since from 5. 1872 sOlidungul;e in 1872 to
upward of $4,000 in 1888, the last year
for which there are returns. But this
last intirmity of horsey minds does not
seem to have extended to the provinces,
