Paris and London Compared.

Paris interests me more, or at least en-
tertains me more, than London 1t is
more foreign. more brilliant in its shops
and drives and more volatile in its dispo-
sitiOn The climate, too, is better, It is
not quite so warm rs the day we sailed,
but the sky is blue, the sun warm, a
breeze blows and all Paris is in the open
air The fog and smoke that darkened
London, and which make every inhabitant
a smoke consumer there, are both hap
PLY absent in Paris Then, again, the
eating here is infinitely superior Eng
land is more ceremOniOus, more dignifed
and London is more ponderous. 1t strikes
me as a great physical and intellectual
force. Paris, per contra, is organized to
minister to the eye and ear and passion,
to physical enjoyment in its most sump-
tuous and sensuOus forms. While at tho
MetrOpole gentlemen were expected to
wear dress suits every evening at table
d'hote and to stalls at the theatre, and
ladies to go without bonnets, and, as a
rule, to dress decollete; in Paris a dress
suit or a dress open at the throat are ex-
ceptions.
There are Americans here at this hotel
by the score, but 1t is a wonderfully quiet
place when cOntrasted with the Metropole
in London The comparison is fair, be-
cause each in it's own city is regarded as
of the very first rank. The strawberries
here are phenomenally large and of su-
perb flavor, and do not have that hard
and insipid core that large American ber-
ries have. The lettuce differs in looks
from ours, and is decidedly better. AS
you know, the French chef knows how to
blend his oil. vinegar, salt, pepper, etc,
that you cannot detect the special taste
of any one of the ingredients, but where
most toothsome compound flavor re.
suits. For salads and sauces, Of course,
everybody knows the French are perfect.

FIuencv of the Sign Language.

Before spoken language was there were
signs; before speech stepped in there were
gestures; the face did duty as revealer
of the emotions, and the hands accom-
panied by gesticulation, as that Of ideas,
and for all the ordinary purposes of life
the code is amply sufficient. Watch two
deaf people as they use it. They have
plenty to say and know how to say it.
Their talk may not last more than ten
minutes, but if all that talk was written
out it would cover an astonishingly large
amount of space. Politics, social topics,
all may have been discussed with equal
facility.
True, the deaf make a free use Of the
manual alphabet in connection with signs,
but the cause lies rather in muscular
WEAKNESS than in any inadequacy on the
part of the signs themselves. As devel-
oped In the schools for the deaf, the sign
language has a capacity for thought ex-
preston absolutely marvellous Moreover,
It is swift, comprehensive-and yet con-
densed-and above all, it is silent. A
universally understood code of signs
would do away with the strident and oft
time profana efforts to understand and be
understood, which are at once the dread
and torment of the average tourist.-De
troit Free Press.

Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, ard free from dam
druff, and the body in a healthful
condition. The great popularity of
Ayers Hair VigOr is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass,
gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use of Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t
stopped the falling out" he writes )
"and, to my great surprise, converted
my white hair (without staining the
scalp) to the same shade Of brOlcn it
had when 1 was % years of age"

He Was "AwrnllY Nice"

In the morning a party Of st. Paul,
Minneapolis and Milwaukee people, about
100 in all, hired train, went up to Wind
sor and thence up the Thames in steam
launches. They were a merry crowd.
When the train reached Windsor the
party strolled through the parks sur
rounding the castle, laughing and sing
ing, much to the amazement of the simple
villagers and awe stricken attendants.
Half a dozen pretty western girls were
romping ahead of the main party at the
foot of the castle wall when they sud
denly came upon tall, military looking
young man in riding SostUme, carrying q
big bunch Of primroses and wild flowers.
''Oh, what pretty flowers" cried one of
the misses. Where do you get them,
sir?" she asked, looking inquiringly at the
young man, her face betraying not the
slightest sign of embarrassment.
II picked them over there, said the one
addressed, pointing to an inclosure with
his riding whip. But you couldn't reach
them because that's private property.
Suppose you take these. I can get some
more
He handed over the entire bunch, lifted
his hat politely and walked back for more
flowers The girls thought him "awfully
nice" but they didn't know he was Prince
Henry of Battenberg, the queens son-in-
law, who as a matter of duty, religiously
picks wild flowers for her majesty every
day.-London Cor. New York Press.

blinded by tho blizzard.

A singular effect of a gale of ice and
snow in the northwest during cold wave
last winter was to freeze the eyes shut
and then form an ice mask over the face.
The wind would drive the fine, hard snow
into the eyes, causing them to water
The snow would mix with the water, be-
tween the eyelids, and the cold wind
would at once bind the lids together by
an ice band. The repeated removal Of
this would inhame the eyeballs so that a
film would form, obscuring the sight.
After this film formed, the presence of
the Ice was a relief to the Inflammation.
Tho eyes would soon be frozen so close
that nothing but steady artificial heat
would relieve them.-Boston Budget.

A specifiS for Alcoholism.

A specific against drunkenness has often
been sought, but as yet the." has been
found no remedy except that of moral de-
termination, Although the reform ac-
complished in this manner is encourag-
ing, there is a wide field for the use Of
some physical method for the reclamation
of besotted individuals who cannot be
reached by moral suasion. DR.. Portug-
slow, well known physician and writer,
declares that the desire for drink is dis
ease, and must be treated by means cf ther-
apeutics He claims that as quinine is
specific against fever, so are subcutaneous
injections of strychnine the absolute
means of curing the passion for intoM-
eating liquors. 1t appears that so far
back as 1873 this method of treating was
employed, but it attracted little attention.
In 1884 the celebrated French physi-
clan, Dujardin- Boimetz, was a most zeal
Gus advocate of this method of treatment.
The preparation and application of the
injection is quite simple. One grain of
strychnine is dissolved in 200 drops Of
water, and the patient receives an iniec-
ton of five drops daily for week or ten
days. The effects Of the injections are
surprising; after two or three of them the
drunkard has an appetite and is abe to
sleep. If, after the expiration of several
months, the desire for strong drink re-
turns, the result of indulgence is so dis
tressing, palpitation of the heart, head
ache and other equally disturbing effects,
that it becomes impossible for the inebri-
ate to touch another drop. It is recon-
mended to make the injections during the
drunken sleep, when the patient awakens
in the full possession of his senses and
will ask for a second or third application
| 1t would be an admirable arrangement il
the police surgeons would test this
"cure" upon the intoxicated persons
brought into the various stations. l

intemperance be as successful as it's advO
Gates claim the family physician will be

ciety. 1t has been suggested by the Rus

ENCOURAGING ENTERPRISES.
Difficulty in Getting Local Capital
60 Invest.

SALT LAKE CzrY September %, 1888.
To the Editor of8he HERALD:
In reply to an article IL Sundays
HERALD, wish you would and space
for the following points:
The Chamber OF Commerce gives US
suggestion in Sundays HERALD to en-
courage home capital in preference to
Offering Inducements 10 outside or east
ern capitalists to come here and make
money. She writer, Mr.. D., perhaps,
has not tried to begin any industry with
home capital, where the sum Of $4,000
would be required, which Tor 2 year
would bring no other returns than the
interest on the money invested. Re
member, Mr.. D., that cur monied men
must have their returns at from 800 to
800 per cent, or they Will not bite. If
Mr.. D. or the Chamber of Commerce
will take the trouble and time to inquire
about, and study our business men,
they Will learn that my statement is
@ rect.
For six months I have offered 81 ,00o.-
0OU business, just outside this C1ty's
limits, for much less sum than $40
600. with which to open up an industry
which would be of great benefit to the
city and Territory, as well as giving
employment to worklngmen; but ig-
norance in business matters of an in
dustrial nature seems to prevail 70 a
very great extent among our people.
Eastern capitalists have more intelli-
gence and experience in these matters
and are not so greedy; they are content
with small interest, say from 5 to 10
per cent. on moneys invested, when they
can see soundness in business. We
have few men who are enterprising,
but with limited means; therefore, they
are unable to take hold of these indus
tries. 1t appears that some of our cap
italists use Eastern money at or per
cent, and lend it out at 10, IL and "a per
cent. Now, this is an easy way to make
money, but how can a country be
built up by such business men? Have
such men either the interests of the
country or the lsboring men at hearth
No! They simply gobble and live
upon the poor man, who would |
willingly show them where the rough |
materials for opening up home indus
tries, are hidden. We have too many
spectators of the shark species in our
city who have done more to gag pros.
perity than they have done themselves
any credit or the country any good.
