Paris Sewage Farms.

The municipal. council of Paris has
recently authorized an extension Of the
sewage irrigation of farms, making
total area of over Z, 500, 900 acres. In
Gennevilliers 1900 acres are irrigated,
but this area belongs to farmers and
gardeners who pay for the sewage.
The owners of another tract covering
1000 acres ARE now negotiating with
the city for delivery of sewage. The
new farms at Achcres will ut present
consist of 1000 acres of sterile land
which the City of Paris will rent from
the State. The City of Mery-sur- Disc
owns 1000 acres. 10 miles from Paris
and these are to be Mt once arranged
for the reception OF tho Paris sewage.
Beside tho above area the farmers o.
Gcnnevilliers and Saint Germain de-
sire to prepare $500 acres for the re-
ception of sewage. During the present
year, therefore, tho irrigated land
will amount to perhaps 5000 acres.
1t Is strange. says our authority, that
Notwithstanding this demand for sew
ago by the farmers, there are still per-
sons who cry out against "thc poison-
ing OF the atmosphere" about Paris.
The amount of sewage created annu-
ally is about ~. 0O0,00 Gu, m.; the
amount which is to be disposed OF by
irrigation Is 1000 Gu. m. per annum
per acre. Therefore the above 5000
acres will suffice for tho entire quanti-
ty Of sewage, -EnginSsring Nsws.

or more in the gallery left in body, the major

! then adjourned until 1880 o'clock.

The motion OF Mr.. Norton was adopted unan-

rapidly. She would not for the world have
allowed the mother to know what a trial il
had been to open her heart to the stately
professor, telling him her sore need, in ad
dition to the pain of giving up her beloved
music. He had responded nobly, offering
her free tuition and the use of his piano
until such time as she could begin earning
for herself; but her Southern pride would
not allow her to accept any thing but his
sympathy and the use of the instrument.
The mother sighed. Z" But you were

the tall stranger was in full possession of
the family history, with its ptiful strug-

derstood them, and even Gracc's self

replied Holly, modestly. his simple little
heart had never once guessed at the truth.
"Havc you never heard of your Grand
