A Partisan Restaurant.

Under the very shadow Of the peoples
palace (writes a Paris correspondent), in
the Rue de la Nerrerie, l found Demos
table spread. At the end of a black and
sooty courtyard men and women wee
passing in and out through swinging
doors. At one side of the doors was the
tariff: Plate of meat, twenty centimes
wine, twenty confines; soup, bread, veg.
etables and dessert O., each ten cen
times. On the other side of the doors
were placards, one stating that it was
forbidden to bring bread, meat or drink
into the room, and the other stating that
the table utensils were placed in the safe
keeping of the public.
To the right of the doors outside is a
ticket office, where you buy as many two
sou zinc checks as your purse and appe-
tite permit. Itook five and followed the
crowd. Each one as he entered stopped
near the door and snatched d glass out
of a basketlul that stood there. Then,
bearing leftward, approached a wire
grating, through which is seen an i'm
mense kitchen, and furnaces charged
with huge cauldrons, holding a hogs
head of steaming food, and running on
rails. This grating is pierced with five
little trap-doors; at the first is
sold soup; at the second, boiled
beef and cabbage, sausages, her.
rings and greasy stews; at the
third, beans and %lentils'; at the fourth,
dessert, consisting of stewed prunes, jam,
cheese and bread, of which you get
about half a pound for your two-sou
check; at the fifth you can buy one
third of a liter of very sour piquette
wine or the anne amount of cider for
two checks. Each diner makes his
choice, and gets served at the different
trap-doors, takes a knife, spoon and fork
out of a basket, and, with his bread
under his arm, his soup in one hand and
his plate of meat in the other, he goes
and sits down wherever he can lind a
place and eats in peace.
Here, indeed, you see all sorts and
conditions of men orkmen, washer.
women, beggars, organ-grinders, clerks,
shop girls of low degree-all degrees OF
poverty and misfortune. Many come in
without buying checks, and loaf around
on the chance of picking up scraps.
After tasting my plate Of stew (appar-
emily composed of horse meat, potatoes
and thick, dark gravy, | concluded that
1T was too greasy, and laid down my
knife and fork for a moment. Suddenly
an arm was extended over my shoulder,
and a hoarsc voice whispered IN my ear,
"Citoyen, vous ne manged plus 2" and
almost before l had time to reply, my
plate had disappeared. Nobody seemed
to think the phenomenon strange, and
after further observation | noticed that
it was quito common. Pieces of bread
half finished bowls of soup, Jumps OF
cheese, were being constantly appropria,
ted by the hungry, SO that the dish-col,
lector found only clean p%latters and nc
leavings.

Increase OF Cancers.

From reliable data it is estimated tina
from fifteen to twenty thousand new
cases OF skin disease occur among the
poor every year. In 1859 there were 304
deaths from cancer in this city, and in
1879, 572 deaths from the same cause.
In 1880 the deaths by cancer had in
creased to 659, and in 1882 73l, or more
than two deaths daily. During these
fourteen years 6, S43 persons died of can
Ger in New York city. All the other
large cities in the United States exhibit
the same startling progress of the disease,
while the report of the registrar general
in Great Britain show an increasing pre-
valence of the mllady in that country.
According to the statistics of the health
department of the city of Baltimore,
there were seven deaths from career in
that city in 1880, and 172 from the same
cause in 1854. During this period the
population had increased five fold, and
the deaths from cancer twenty-six fold.
The association of skin disease and
cancer in the same institution is based
upon the reason that in many instances
cancer attacks the skin alone, or appears
on or beneath the skin and aftcrward
effects the other organs, and that by the
union Of skin diseases and cancer many
persons may be led TO seek relief long
before the case would be recognized as
cancer either by the patient or by many
physicians. A further reason is found
in the hope that something may yet be
done for cancer by means other than
surgical operation. To aid this, a prize
fund has already been established to
stimulate research in this direction The
cause of the disease is not known. The
accepted theory in England attributes it
to malaria. The most that can be said
respecting this hypothesis is that it is not
proved. But the fact that cancer is most
frequently observed along water courses,
as in London, Liverpool, New York and
Baltimore, gives strong probability to
the theory. -NeD York 7eLcgram.

WISE WORDS.

Who would strive with one that en-
treated him kirdly2
Loving souls are very similar to paul
pers. They live upon what is given to
them.
Failure after long perseverance is much
nobler than never to have strivcn and so
have incurred failure.
"We never see a tear in the eye"
says a celebrated writer, ''but we are
reminded of warm heart"
Friends should be very delicate and
careful in administering pity as a medi-
cine, when enemies use the same article
as poison.
If you are melancholy for the first
time you will find upon inquiry that
others have been melancholy many times
and yet are cheerful now.
To reflect on the misfortunes to which
mankind in general are exposed greatly
contributes TO alleviate the weight OF those
which we ourselves endure.
You may have a good mind, n sound
Judgment, Il vivid imagination, or o
wide reach of thought and views, but
you can never become distinguished
without severe application.
There is nothing innocent and good
that dies and is forgotten; let Us hold
to that faith or none. An infant, a
prattling child, dying in the cradle, will
live again in the better thoughts of those
who loved it, and play its part, through
them, in the redeeming actions of the
world, though its body be burned to
ashes or drowned In the depths of the
sea.
1t is the young, the idle, the small
minded, who are most prone to vex them
selves about small things and outside
things. As years advance and interests
widen, we see with larger eyes, and re.
fuse to let minute evils destroy in us,
and in those dear to us, that equal mind
which, accepting life as a whole in all
its earncstness and reality, its beauty and
sadness combined, weighs calmly n
strikes bravely the balance of good and
evil.

Natural Gas.

Natural gas is as ancient as the uni
verse. 1t was known to man in prehis-
toric times, w must suppose, for the
very earliest historical reference to the
magi of Asia records them as worship
ing the eternal fires which then blazed,
and still blaze, in assures of the mount
ain heights overlooking the Caspian sea.
Those records appertain to a period at
least 600 years before the birth of Christ
but the magi must have lived and wor-
SHIPPED long anterior to that time. Pap

Mr.. Ba yards Hard Luck.

Phil. Daily News.
Secretary Bayard's officers do not seem to
pan out very well. His Minister to England
is being bounded down by the leading Dem
ocrat organ in New York city His Minis
ter to Russia has had to withdraw ON account
of his political disability iIs Minister to
Brazil at first reiuGed the office. His Min
lister to Peru is Objectionable at home His
Consuls to Manchester and Nice have rcfus-
ed their appointments. He is in a dsagreea-
BILE snarl with the Minister TO Iayti, and
now his Minister to Italy has been obliged
to withdraw because he is not acceptable to
the Italian government.
Such record can hardly be in3p,rin &
to the Secretary of State, 1t shows, a
disregard of diplomatic proprioty and of
good Judgment that is very psejudicial to
to the fame of Secretary of State. In no
case does Mr.. Bayard seem to have pleased
