The serial and short stories have strong

the facts of life, are by writer's whose

full information on these subjects. There
is nothing cheap about it but its price.

TRAPS FOR AMERICANS.
Agencies in Paris for Marrying United
States Dollars &C French Names.

Agencies in Paris for Marrying United
States Dollars &c French Names.
An American gent! man, who for many
years past has been established In bust.
ness in Paris. received one day call
from a handsomely-dress female In
whom he recognized O notorious Ameri-
can member OF the demi-monde OF Paris.
She came. she said, to propose to him
q lucrative business transactions She
had in her possession a list OF sundry
high-born and titled gentlemen who
wished to marry rich American girls.
and she displayed such list inscribed
with some OF the proudest names Of the
French aristocracy.
If my countryman woull inform her
OF the arrival in Paris OF any wealthy
American ladies, and Of the presumed
amount of their fortunes, she would, on
the Accomplishment of a marriage be-
tween any ono OF these and one OF her
clients, at once pay over to him half OF
the stipulated percentage en- the dowry,
which in her case was to amount to 10
per cent.
1t is needless to say that the womans
offer was refused. But the very fact OF
its being made showed how widespread
is the system OF the matrimonial agency
IN Paris, and how extensive and elabor-
ing information.
THERE'S an Austrian gentlemen moving
in the best society of Paris whom I
strongly suspect OF being one OF the
secret and accredited agents OF one of
these establishments.
He tried hard, but Ia vain, some years
ago, TO bring about a match between the
daughter and only child OF a wealthy
American gentleman then visiting this
city and q French duke OF ancient
family. The duke turned out finally to
be an impostor and was forced TO take
flight from Paris.
Employees OF these agencies are also to
be found at the principal hotels here.
They are usually women, generally bear
high-soundlng titles, and are pleasant of
manner and affable OF bearing. Their
business Is to make acquaintance with rich
Americans who have daughters, SO that
the daughters aforesaid may be presented
TO impecunious adventurers on the look
out to repair their fortunes by mar
riage.
The matter Is very adroltly managed.
an opera or q theatre party or q little
dance being gotten up by the amiabla
French lady TO amuse her sweet, new
young friend, the luckless damsel whose
dollars, real or rumored, have caused
her to be selected as q fitting victim.
At tho dance or at the theatre the In
PRODUCTION takes place. and tho fascina-
tione of the gentleman are supposed to
do the rest. Very often, indeed, tho
promoter Of the whole series OF ma
nnuvres Is not connected with any

yesterday Q bit Of thrilling personal
experience in this line.

The very thought of my sufferings
freezes my blood aud chills my bones.

opium daily"
"How did you contract the habit?"
Excessive business cares broke
me down aud my doctor prescribed
opiuml That is the way niue-tenths
of cases commence. When / de-
termined to stop, however, found I
could not do it.
"You may be surprised to know"
he said, that two-fifths of the slaves
ofmorphine and opium are physicians.
Many of these / met. We studied
cur cases carefully. We found oct
what the organs were in which the
appetite was developed and sustained;
that no victim was free from de-
moralized condition of these organs;
that the hope of cure depended en-
tirely upon the degree of vigor which
could be impaired to them. / have
seen patients, while undergoing treat
ment, compelled to resort to opium

mo. sir Studying the matter with
several opium-eatiDg physicians, we
became satisfied that the appetite for
opium was located 10 the kidneys and
liver. Our next object was to find
specific for restoring those organs to
health. The physicians, much against
their code, addrt ssed their attention
10 certain remedy and became
thoroughly convinced on its scien-
ti6c merits alone thar it was the
one that could be relied upon in
every case of disordered kidneys and
liver. | thereupon began using it
and, supplementing it with my own
special treatment, finally got fully
over the habit. / may say that the
most important part Of the treatment
is to get those organs first into good
working condition, for in them the
appetite originates and is sustained,
and in them over ninety per cent Of
all other human ailments originate.
For the last seven yesrs this
position has been taken By the pro-
