has tested the feeding of cooked and
uncooked corn for hogs, and also
ground and unground food. He claims
that a bushel of corn fed on the cob
will produce nine pounds of pork,

fed raw will yield twelve pounds. A

asked an American lady who had lived
long in Paris what her experience had
been, and she answered that she liked
Paris, but she did not know whether she
liked the French or not. II think that
Paris" she went on, ais the only city in
Europe that an American can live in for
years without getting to like the people.
You can not live ten years in Florence
without liking the Italians, or ten years
in Dresden or Munich without liking the
Germans. But you can live in Paris
nearly all your life without liking the
French-indeed, without knowing them
any better than you did when you first
came. In this last CLAUSE lies the secret
of this opinion, l think. Long as the
American may remain in Paris, he re-
mains a stranger; except in very rare in
stances like the farmer in Leech's sketch,
he gets no forrarder," The Partisan does
not take the American or any other
stranger into his own home-although he
tries very hard and as best he knows how
to make the American feel at home in the
cafes and restaurants Inc hotels OF Paris.
And in this, at least, the Partisan is not

l remember encountering once, on the

barrow with n zinc box in it, and a wheel
as big as one of the ordinary working
hand vehicles. AS the wheel revolved 1t
left imprinted in black ink on the clean
flags the one text, Repent thy sins" etc.
The feet Of the passers-by speedily
smeared the characters into a smudge
that made the pavement hideous TO be-
hold, and the barrow-man was arrested
for committing a nuisance. He stated
that he had invented the barrow especially
to make the stones of the wicked tow
preach 70 ths unregenerate. The
laws of the unregenerate fined him heavily
for his evengelistic ingenuity, and he was
forced to put his barrow to rest. The
device has since been utilized to adver-
tise various articles in this city. but was
suppressed by the police. I see that an
employe Of an American theatrical man

land has been arrested in some provincial
city for the same offense, and the manager
had to pty a round sum to keep him out
of the lock-up.-Alfred Trumb.e in New
