Paris Real and Romantic.

'9 never was so disappointed in my life as fn: :fhe working women of Paris" remarked ohe ladY-American, of course. "1 had heard so much sbout the taste of Paris, that Ithought even the shop girls and women in the streets would show tt in superior neatness and style in their clothes; but they don't look as nice as the working women we see at home" Another lady said. '1 am so disap- pointed; l always thought of Paris as sort of gioEifed city, where everything would be found that was most beautiful. I have only been here two days, it is true; but have been to the Bon Marche and the shops of the Louvre, and was not tempted to buy in the least" Naturally, two days were not much in which to discover the beauty of Paris, nor see the shops of the Bon Marche and the Louvre, the places in which to find the costly novelties tha@ confer the prestige of supreme fashion and taste upon oity.
 There Is, however, an immense difference between the Paris of today and the Paris of even ten or fifteen years ago. Then the working woman had not begun to adopt the prevailing style. They had a neat and prac- fcal dress of their own-not the peasant dress-but simple in construction and free from cheap trimming and attempts at "drap- ery." Now their dress is cut after paper pat tern modes, is cheaply furbelowed and soon books shabby. The trim neatness and accur- scy of cut has given place to attempts at fnery, which cannot be renewed often enough for cleanliness and which marks the decline in taste, which has been neglected or not cultivated in fhe right direction.
 There Is now little of originality, for there is no one to stimulate or pay for experiment tai efforts such as gre needed for the develop menu of original apd beautiful ideas even in dress The fit of the French dressmaker is still the best in the world; but 1t would cease to be 30 if 1t were not for her Russian, Amer Ean, English and German customers.

 During the spring of 1871, while working in the field at my home in Morgan county, Ga, pulled off my shoes to give my feet rest. Unfortunately, walked into clump of poison oak, and in a few days my feet were in a terrible condition, and could not put on shoe because of the soreness and swelling. was treated as poison oak cases usually are, and everything was healed up. About the same time the following spring, 1872, my feet became sore again, as at first, and every succeeding spring for five years brought back the same condition of the dis ease, only each time it became more dis dressing, because began to think it was . lifetime trouble. Finally, I was induced to try Swift's Specific. took six bottles, and to-day am entirely well.
