The FIRE extingulshsr was used

The FIRE extingulsher was used
very effectively last Tuesday in
stopping the fire and saving nearly
half of Mr.. Townsend's stock sta
bles. Mr.. Grigsby had it charged
and brought it down. There were
barely men in the crowd with
enough confidence in tito haul it
there, but some OF the donbters
were surprised at its effectiveness.
It was clearly demonstrated that
with proper management it can be
made to do good work. As little as
is thought OF it, it has saved more
money than it is worth. The
board will doubtless TALK about
fixing it up, as all the boards have,
but the effort will end in talk.

often happens that in the line of toilet
articles you must look for applications
for the face and beard in one place, and
for the head and hair in another. If one
wishes a lamp and appointments, he
buys the lamp at n shop, then searches
the city for an oil can, and, having
found one, purchases his oil, with the
expense of considerable further muscle
at a third. A French drug store keeps
nothing but drugs and medicines, or if
it is a little Anglicized or Americanized,
perhaps a little tooth-paste, or some
similar staple article. Tooth-paste or
powder is found at one end of the city
and a toothbrush at the other. Butter,
cheese and milk constitute a separate
branch of trade, Wholesale and retail,
sometimes each of these articles by it.
self. The same rules apply to all other
line OF trade and manufacture with
more or less strictness. The convenient
showcase in American stores, in which
is found a collection of small articles
in common use, is never seen in French
shops. The advantages of this minute
division of labor are these: A large pro-
portion of the population find employ
ment in some of these branches of bust
ness, and when times are good every
body is relatively prosperous. But
when the current of affairs changes, the
shops which have increased to an un-
reasonable number and have bought
largely, presuming on the continuance
of prosperity, find themselves all over
stocked, and the result is poverty and
disaster on all sides. There are some
exceptions to the system. Within a few
years there have grown up in Paris and
in the large provincial cities large gen.
eral stores, Or bazars, where almost
every thing of personal necessity, ex~
cept eatables, can be found at slightly
reduced prices. These places are
numerous in Paris, and they are al
most the only ones that are exceptions
to the prevailing commercial stagna-
ton. There arc some other exceptions,
such as the sale of bread and pastry in
tho same shop, but they are not umer
Gus. One of the most absurd results of
a system which is to q certain extent
necessary have been tie cafes as they
exist at present in France. The hotels
and restaurants do not furnish coffee
without an addition to the bill. You
eat your dinner in one place and take
your coffee in another. Hence the evo-
lukon of a separate branch of business,
and the employment of thousands of
BONES and garcons who would other
wise swell the pauper list.-Paris Cor.

POPE LEO xiii.
An Interesting Sketch of the Present
Ruler of the Catholi Church.

An Interesting Sketch of the Present
Ruler of the Catholic Church.
Under the title of souvenirs dun
Journalistic Francois a Rome" M.
Henri DIES Houx, whose intimate rela-
tions with the Vatican are well known,
has just written an interesting book on
the ms and outs of the Vatican. Here
is his sketch of the Pope himself: cleo
XIII. blesses his audiences with q grace
full and kindly gesture. He has a merry
molth. His smile does not possess that
sardonic Voltairian expression found in
so many of his photographs. On the
contrary, it is rather gentle and pater-
nal. His eyes are very black and brill
liant. His features, ascetic and strongly
marked, have become benevolent and
engaging. He must have had great diff
ticulty tt accommodate his countenancc,
such as nature made, it to the august
role of Holy Partnership. Perhaps the
the soul of a Pope modities tbs exterior
lineaments in the long run, like st.
Francois de Sales, who was born dog
matte. but who became by contin-
ual self-subjection, an angel of sweet
ness. Leo XIII. on being made Pope,
must have overcome, or at least SUBJ
dued a violent character. His Holiness
is still vigorous in spite of his leanness
and senile trembling. His hair is white,
and arranged in curls over his temples.
His cassock seems to envelop only the
shadow of q body, just enough humanity
to hold Il soul. He speaks very slowly,
particularly when he speaks French.
In Italian he improvises rapidly, but in
French he has to call on his memory,
which is excellent. The slowness gives
q singular relief to the utterance of Pope
Leo. The action precedes rather than
accompanies the word. With his arms
extended, he seems to invite the whole
universe to come and receive his
thoughts. The oratorical action of His
Holiness is in reality q curious study.
1t can hardly be called classic, but it
gives his speech an academic breadth
and imprisoned viyacity not to be found
in the printed text. Nobody reading his
allocutions would ever imagine the eff
feet they produced on delivery.-PuN
Mall Gazette.
