Advice to Americans Who Are Tempted
by the Bargain" Peddiers of Paris.
Paris Cor. Chicago Tribune.l
And here lie: ma venture another word Of
warning, in addition TO the one about auto
graphs. which l hope may be useful to my
travelling countrymen- Be on your guard
against all those itinerant vendors who call at
your lodgings with So called bargains, which,
for men, are contraband cigars-pure cab
bage-leaveS-pipes having belonged to some
distinguished personage-I was let in once
with Gen. Bem's meerschaum"-and fancy
cravats; and for ladies handkerchiefs, lace,
and curtainsI Everything is mere CATCH
penny. Hall the time they are stolen goods,
for buying which you risk being treated as q
receiver.
Not infrequently their sale is a device OF
the enemy to take the topography Of your
apartment with an ultimate view to its rob
berry; and even VIXEN the seller is honest
that Is to say. when he is not the burglars
forerunner or the shoplifter's delegate, he
palms off his gull articles that have been
picked up by him at some auction of
Slightly damaged goods" and which when
examined after they have been paid for, turn
out to be vastly inferior to what can be pro-
BILE Partisan ;radesman-
A regular association with q view to ex-
plot the credulity of foreigners exists in the
French capital, and has its ramifications all
over the continent, with male and female
agents, who operate on the unwary with the
connivance of your concierge or of the
waiter at your hotel, who share the profits Of
the transaction, esteeming all strangers, and
especially American strangers, as creatures
who have been created and brought into the
world simply to be the prey Of impostors
and charlatans Turn deaf ear, o, my
compatriots. to these applicants for your
patronage, charm they never so wisely, for
they have honeyei tongues, and if you listen
to thoir song will cheat you in spite OF your
better Judgment
Never mind if they do tell you that they
have been recommended by a friend Of
yours. Sometimes they have been by peo-
pie who, in order to get rid Of their impor-
tunitie-, give them a list of their acquaint-
anceS Oftener they have copied the
names which appear in the travellers list of
the Anglo-American newspapers; but.
whether they have been recommended by
any one, or have forged n Recommendation
for themselves, kick them out, unhesitat-
ingly, for they will not sue you for assault
am, tattery, as they hugely dread any IN
ve-tigation, mostly having unfavorable
judicial antecedents; if you do not you will
risk the robbery of your apartment, not in
frequently complicated with murder, and
at the very least you are safe to be
syinilei

That law was passed in the interest of

Men who come west with industri-
Gus habits rapidly grow rich. One
man who started in Nebraska twenty
years ago with nothing but a wife and
a stand of bees now has house with
a splendid mortgage on it. gate with

swing on the gate and are called

trious creature, has secured divorce.

TREES AND RAINFALL.


From the Chicago Times
In the official report of the geologi-
cal survey of Wisconsin is an account
of the determinations made BY DR. J..
NJ. Anders, of the amount of water
pumped from the earth by trees. lie
finds that the average exhalation from
soft, thin-leaved plants in clear wealth
er amounts to about one and quar-
ter o, noes troy. per day of twelve
hours, for every square foot of SUI =
face. Hence a moderate sized elm
raises and throws off seven and three
quarters tons of water per day. In
the report the facts are applied to
what is going on in America, where
certain inland fertile districts are be-
coming converted into deserts by
wholesale clearings, and in other
places, such as the plains of Colorado,
where five or six years of irrigation
and planting have already produced a
measurable increase of rainfall. Ii is
maintained that the deserts of Syria
and Africa are the results of cutting
down trees, and that original luxuri-
ance may be restored by skillful re-
planting.

Incidents Of House Cleaning.
Hartford Post.


The McGushes are getting on famously
with their house-clsaning. The mOquets
and the Administers have all been whacked
and slammed until the dust has returned to
dust, and the furniture has all been mis-
placed in gorgeous array. Still, there are
many little nice points OF detail that Rosa
lind must attend To personally.
Don't you think, ma, dear said She AZ
fectionately," that We need new portierres
between the parlors. Tae old ones are so very
familiar, you know"
@Rosalind," said the mother. with no little
feeling, those portierres are not familiar to
me. Stay in the cellar kitchen from Monday
