Cost of Paris improvements.

Recent accounts of the financial state
of the city of Paris reveal a munificenes
of expenditure which can hardly fail to
have grave political consequences.
Since 1852 the sum of ga, 5000 has
been laid out in the rebuilding and
establishment of the French capital.
In the outlay are included the sums of
e33, $50 900 spent on streets, Gil, $780,
coo spent on the Hotel de Vile. together
with schools, churches, hospitals, muni.
cipal buildings and markets: 6. 900. 900
on the four public parks of the BOis de
BOulOgne, the BOis de Vincennes, the
Park MOnceaux, the Park de Mont
sOUrIs. and the squares and gardens;
and &c, $50 900 on water cOnduits and
sewers. The annual rental derived by
the city from the last item of expendi-
ture amounts to e400 600. or @ per
cent. on the outlay. The rents of the
central halls, markets, abbattOIrs, and
cab-stands come to eSS0, 900 per annum;
and the city has to raise ES4O, 600 by
annual impOsts In order to make up the
charge of 81, 10000 per annum, for
interest and ameliOTatiOn of the out
standing loan debt of Ei0, ,3G0, 900.
During the period in question the
population of Paris has risen from
945, 900 to 1900, 900. The area covered
has increased from s, 400 acres to 19, go
acres; 100 miles of sewers aud 81 miles
of new streets have been built, and 30
miles of Old streets, having width of
less than % feet. have been removed.
The dlsposable property Of the city is
valued at G64 $40, O0G. This does not
include 3, ,702 acres Of streets, valued at
ei20, 600, 900, or the half share of the
property of the Paris Gas Company,
which, together with the gas cOndUitS
which viii become the property of the
city in 1906, is valued at &c, l20, 900.
The ratable value of Pans, containing
1900 houses. was estimated by Sir
Joseph Bazalgette last year at ca, Co.,
900, that of London, including the
disprOpOrtionate number of 500 coo
houses. being e2S, 900, 600. The length
of streets were respectively 5o2 and
| 500 miles.

Egyptian Flies.

The flies are still one of the plaques
of Egypt. as in the days of Moses,
writes a haples5 Cairo correspondent.
Like the feminine callers In New Eng
land villages they bring their work and
stay all the afternoon. Their adhesive
qualities are greater than those of pat
ent cement. They make your acquatn-
tance and, like Mrs. Micawber, they
never, never fOrsake you.
have had one of these peTtinaciOus
flies make my acquaintance in one
quarter of the city and follow me un-
flInehingly through dark and
winding ways to an entirely
opposite quarter. Nothing could de-
taeh him from my person - not the
crowds through which | passed, the
camels which brushed against me, nor
winding alleys, low and gloomy gate
ways the OdOrs of the market place, not
any amount of futile blows with the
cane, nor any wealth of American eX-
pletive. He remained, penetrating in
to my ears, sitting triumphantly on my
nose, and constantly finding new and
unexpected points of attack, until he
was tired out aud left of his own accord.
And Yet it is a small, insignificant look
ing insect. \ dozen of them would
hardly make one ordinary sized blue
bottle. Still, il is recognized terror,
unpleasant to she well and a terror to
especially infants - having the
Ophthalmia. An instrument, called by
the French a chassemOuche or hy-ch
ser, is made and sold for putting 1t to
flight, OF for its possible determination.
This is a small handle, to which are at
tached long filaments of cane, palm
reed or hOrsehair, after the manner of
an extremely slender and delicate broom
or whip. The demand for this imple-
ment is general, ard in the effort to
supply it some pretty and cheap specl-
mems are produced. The handsOmest
are those from ASsiout, which have ele-
CANT ivory handles, and are at once du-
rable and ornamental. Every one
walks about Cairo armed with his
chasse-mouche, whipping right and
left. On horseback they are really
necessary, and as when so used they
are conspicuous, an official on parade
days will carry one corresponding with
bis fine dress and equipments.

FIirtations in SCALING wax.

Here Is something for the ladies';
FlirtatiOns in sealing wax are the latest
racket. Red is for business only; black
wax is for mourning and coincidence;
pink for congratulations, and white for
wedding invitations Blue means love,
and the color is used in various tlnts to
mark the different stages OF affection.
Yariegated colOrs are used TO indicate
conflicting emotions. Two other things
are being tried by the statiOners to
make wax work expensive and fash
ionable. They are beginning to use
thimbles to bear seals, and hope to make
some designs a popular craze. Then
scented wakes are being imported from
Paris, with a variety of colOrs, more OF
less desirable and costly. 1t is said one

The Elephant,

The elephant is the largest of the
land animals that now 1--we ON our earth
lie is very strong and very sensible.
The Indian elephant does some very
wise things. He is taught to carry peo-
pie on his back, and in time of war he
draws the heavy guns and carries the
wounded. He will put his large head
against cannon and push it through a
bog, when men and horses would be
unable to move 1t at all. He can pile
timber and draw a plough, and do
many other useful things. Elephants
are very kind to little children, and
when they are left in charge of them
will guard them from all harm and
treat them with the greatest gentleness
But, although elephants can be very
kind and gentle when well treated, they
are dangerous when angry. The In
dian elephant has seat or hOwdah
fastened on his back, in which several
people can ride. Wild elephants are
hunted for the sake Of their tusks, which
are ivory and are very valuable.

Flood Rock Is still Sinking.

Flood Rock Is still sinking. The
daily rate is variable, but the sinking
aggregates in many places four or live
feet. The Government diver, Mr.. W.
l.. Quinn, was under water several
hours recently and examined three side
of the reef. On the north and south
sides the rock IS so shattered that 1t
can be Gredged with comparative ease.
On the east and west sides the frag-
ments are larger, and some surface
blasting will have to be done. The
whole reef, so far as it has been exam
ined. Is full of tissHres, which follow
the trend Of the rocks grain. The
north side of the nlgger heads will
probably be examined and as soon as
possible dredging will begin. This
work will doubtless be done by contract.
Mr.. Quinn says the explosion was a
complete success.

first Postage stamps.

I 1hirty-eight years ago the first post
ags stamps were used in the United
States. For 175 years postage had been
collected entirely Fin money, and in all
cases prepayment was optional. Good
old John Haywood, who IN 1850 became
the worthy master of the posts, :" at
Boston, and the first postmaster in
America, employed chance conveyance
I instead OF postage, with ''by kindness
of" some traveller at his postal service;
and nothing was thought of stamping
until 1S41, though such men as Frank
lin, Bache, Pickering and Kendall had
been at the head ot the Post-office
Department, and though the number
of offices had come to be nearly !, 400.
On the 25th of March, 1910, John NJ.
Niles, of Hartford, became Postmaster
General, and signaliZed his adminIstra-
ton by many reforms He turned the
wrong side out of his predecessors
work, and convinced his party and the
President that Amos Kendall was not
such great man rs had been imagined.
1t was necessary to cap all by genuine
innovation and he performed this by
suggesting the postage stamp. The
suggestion was received with ridicule,
and Mr.. Niles sooc afterward retired.
His successor, Charles A. Wlckllffe,
put the department into the ancient
ruts again, and when Cave johnson
assumed the portfolio on the 9Th of
March, 1915, he found it an herculean
task to reinstate the reform measures
of Mr.. Niles. During Wickliffe's ad-
minlstratiOn the number of pOSt-OfiiceS
had increased by only 695, but johnson
saw in his term of office .237 offices
added to the rolls, and witnessed ether
tokens of prosperity. Among the
measures of Mr.. Niles that he adopted
was the postage stamp idea. The
President had converted his Postmaster
General from opposing the reduction of
postage to championship of the lowest
paying rates, and johnson garnIshed
his conversion with fathering the sug-
gestiOn originated six years before
The matter took form as bill before
Congress, and though it was quite the
fashion to oppose any Cabinet suggest
ions, the act authorizing the issue of
stamps of and 10 cent denominations
was passed, and approved March 3,
1S47. The date of the issue was ap-
pointed as July lst, but there was a
delay in the contractors work, and the
time ran over month.
On the 5th day of August. soon after
the opening of the Postmaster Generals
office for the day, an Old gentleman
called to see Mr.. johnson on business.
The gentleman was the Hon. Henry
Shaw, New Yorker. Sheets of the
stamps were laid before the Postmaster
General, who, after receipting for them,
handed them to his visitor to inspect.
Mr.. Shaw returned them after haSty
glance; and then drawing out his wal
let, he counted out fifteen cents with
which he purchased two of the stamps
the first tlCO erer issued. The five
cent stamp he kept as a curiosity, and
the ten cent stamp he presented to
Governor Briggs as an appropriate gift.

New York Star, lone must advertise
right straight along" said prominent
New York dry goods merchant. I'VE
once hitupon novel expedient, of as
certaining over what area our adver-
tisements were read. We published a
couple of half-column ads in which
we purposely misstated half dozen
historical facts"
Ibid you get any reply ~
II should say we did. In less than a
week we received between 300 and 400
letters from all parts Of the country,
from people who wanted to know why
on earth we kept such a consummate
fool who knew so little about American
history. The letters came pouring in
for three or four weeks. 1t was one of
the best paying ads that we ever
printed. Our letters came from school
boys, girls, professors, clergymen,
school teachers, and in two instances
from eminent men who have world
wide reputation. was more impressed
with the value of advertising from these
two advertisements than l should have
been by whole volumes of theories"
