Dinner the great meal of the day, is taken
purse of the diner can afford, and even the
poorer classes have their soup and wine. Din
ners are served at the hotels in table d'h6te
style-that is, each dish is served separately,
and the plates are changed with every course
In most of the hotels fixed time is set for
dinner, and all of the guests must be at the
table at this time Beside each plate there is
g menu and wine card giving the prices of
: the various wines. You order your bottle of
wine of the waiter, and he charges it in your
bill There is also usually piece of dry bread
beside your plate, and the rule here is to eat
bread at dinner without butter There is no
butter brought upon the table until dessert
when it sometimes comes in with the cheese
The first course at an ordinary table dh6te
dinner is soup. The walters all enter at the
same time and carry the plates of soup from
without to the guests at the table. After this
is eaten the plates are changed, and fish is
passed around by the walters each person
helping himself; then the plates are again
changed and delicate composition of spinach
may follow. Then another change of plates,
and roast beef and potatoes another change,
and perhaps delicate patty; and so it goes
on for about an hour and half, making ten
to twenty changes of plates until you come to
the nuts and cheese and after dinner coffee.
There is no coffee or tea drank during the
meal, and the rule is to drink wine mixed with
water Caret is the most common drink,
and you get very fair small bottle of this
for fifty cents At some hotels the prices in
clude wine but in most the guest orders the
wine he pleases and pays accordingly
But does not such a dinner cause indiges-
ton, and do not the people gorge themselves?
No. The table d'h6te dinner digests better
than that of the American bite and go style.

Nurses carry their babies to the Champs
Elysee and sit sometimes in company with the
mother, but often are without under the trees

His rule is to give the best of everything at
the lowest paying rates. and l am sure, if
such restaurants were established in our

written of Duval before, but ne is worth u
second mention. He charges you for your
napkins, your bread, your butter-your
everything that you order. In the Duval
establishments at London, pretty girls acted
as walters, dressed in quaint costume. Here
in Paris, middle-aged women, who look like
Sisters of Charity are employed, and the rates
of food are about one-half of those of London.
You get glass Of ordinary wine for four
cents a soup for five cents, meat or fish for
from six to twenty cents, and vegetables
about five cents; an ordinary dinner cost you
about fifty cents, and the food is excellent

PARIS, Sept 29-Paris stands at the top Of
the gastronomic world. Her cooks are OK
ported to every quarter of the globe, and the
chefs of other nations come here to study the
culinary art The noted negro caterer
Wormley, Of Washington, who made $780,
600 by pleasing the palates of the statesmen
and diplomats there, sent his SONS to Paris to
study French cookery, and the day has come
when the American millionaire would sooner
think of doing without his carriage than his
chef from Paris. Sam Ward, the late noted
lobbyist, passed many bill through the dishes
which he learned how to prepare in Paris,
and Presidents jackson, Jefferson and Arthur
had their dinners gotten up by cooks from
France.
Parists city of hotels and cafes, and it
has been described as a gigantic mousetrap
with three doors, labeled respectively "Hotel,
Cafe, Restaurant There are in the city be-
tween 5000 and 5000 hotels, and the restau-
rants stare at you from every block. At al
most any restaurant you are sure of getting
good cooking, and the chef of the restaurant
is one of the characters of Paris. What his
wages are here don't know but President
Arthur paid Chef Forth 81, 800 year, and a
good French cook can hardly be gotten in
America under $1,000. Here their wages
are undoubtedly less, but still they form an
important element of the French community.

but he frowned down the efforts that were
made to keep 1t from the public eye, and gave
the reporters Of the Chicago press full and free
access TO all the documents at his command.
II was prophcsled at that time that sooner or
later the axe would fall on Murphy's head,
AMI although years hava passed the prophecy
has proven true. The four charges preferred
against Murphy were more or less himsy, and
tue supporting evidence was anything but

GLADSTONE'S LAND BILL.
synopsis orthc Provisions rs Given b,
tho Freemans journal.

The Frceman's journal of Dublin, states
that the Irish land bill which Gladstone will
propose does not involve either compulsory
purchase or advance OF any specified sum
from the imperial treasury. What the meas
ure will enact will be the right Of any owner
Of land in Ireland TO claim from the govern
ment Of Ireland after home rule has been
granted the privilege OF being bought at sum
regulated by law. This sum will be arrived at
by multiplying the amount OF rent by the num-
Der Of years to be agreed upon by parliament.
In all cases where owners put In such claims
TO be bought out the Imperial Exchequer is TO
furnish III, purchase money. The Irish gov
eminent is TO guarantee repayment, and Is To
attend TO the business Of reimbursng the en-
pre for all these outlays by disposing OF pur-
chased lands TO occupyers, and collecting In
tn shape of payments therefor, such rents as
will cover the whole sum back In forty nine
years. As at present framed the bill fixes the
rents TO be paid by tenants at per cent per
annum on the amount of purchase, when q
tenant has paid In rent to the Irish govern
mcnt the amount the land cost the govern.
ment he Is to become owner. Although the
tenant is TO pay the Irish government four pei
cent per annum, the latter will be responsible
TO the Imperial treasury for but 81 per cent
per annum, difference TO go TO the sinking
fund 10 meet bad debts, cost Of collection, etc
The measure as outlined by the Freeman's
Journal is so vastly different from the one at
tributed by certain Radicals and Torres to
Gladstone as to occasion establishment. Tho
present bill does not compel the exodus OF En-
gllshmen from ireland. 1t simply enables the
government in gradual and reasonable way
without increasing the public burdens or run
ming the risk of loss, to adjust the conflict OF
interests between the pcasantry and land own
crs OF Ireland, enabling those who find resi-
dcnce In Ireland desirable to remain there al
long as they please, and assisting those who
find 1t otherwise, to leave without suffering az
| injustice.

WILL COST MORE MONEY NOW.

The Chance TO Take advantage Of Cheap
Rates to the Coast Thing of the Past
New York dispatch: Ono OF the biH -sest
railroad rate wars that western roads ave
ever known has probably come to an end.
The transcon tinental pool was broken the
10th OF February by the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe announcing cut in rates be-
tween New York and San Francisco. 1t did
this because other members oil the pool
would not allow as large n percentage oil
freight business to Atchison as IL demanded.
All OF the lines in tho pool met the cut, and
the result has been that travellers and
freight have gone to California points Mt
extremely low rates. In passenger rates
the price OF unlimited first. class tickets
from New York to San Francisco was
$120.25. This price was cut until low
water mark OF S29.50 was reached. In
freights the price for cotton piece goods Tor
example was So per 100 pounds from New
York to San Francisco. This rate was cut
down until IL became too low to quote.
The principal fighters we're the Southern
Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Other lines, noticeably the u ion Pa
cific, and the Pacific Mail Steamship com
pany followed the cuts, but this was done
more to keep people informed that there
we're such routes than because they wanted
to fight. The Atchison has been forcing
the fight throughout the contest. The re-
suit OF 1t has the appearance OF victory
for that road. 1t is understood among
railroad men that President Strong pre-
sented his ultimatum to President Hunt
ington OF the Southern Pacific Thursday
and that Mr.. Huntington asked until TO,
day to answer it, and by telegraph he did
answer, and Immediately his agents an.
nounced to shippers that the rates would
be restored to the old basis after to-mor
row. The Atchison agents have not YET
received orders on the subject, though they
are expected very soon.

scription that follows: "The sun
flower was no other than fine nest of
hornets. The species, large, bright
yellow insect with ferocious sting,
constructs its nest, which is large. and
of the size and shape of good big sun
flower, on some projecting twig of an
evergreen bush, and, when the nest is
completed, the whole community dis
pose themselves in regular circles on it,
