THE PARIS TUIlERIES.
4 Monument in Honor of the Revolution
to Take Its Place.

to Take It's Place.
There has at different times beer
considerable speculation as to what
would be done with the ground upon
which the palace Of the Tuieries stood
Before it was decided that the ruined
pile should be definitely removed va
rlous suggestions We're made, but nc
resolution Was arrived at. Since the
site was cleared Of the charred walls
il has been occupied by wooden struc-
tnt'es which were utilized for the
general post-offire, pending the COM
plction of the new building These
light and airy ediices have, in their
turn, disappeared, and at the present
moment their places have been taken
by booths belonging to the fair, which
is still in full swing. OF course this
can not be prolonged for ever The
ground on which the palace stood is
one OF the finest situations in Paris,
lying, as it does, between the Tuii-
cries gardens on the one side and the
Place du Carrouscl and the Louvre on
the other. 1t has more than once
been suggested that a garden should
be laid out on the site, thus continu-
ing the pretty flower beds in front of
the now vanished palace. The con-
struCtion OF museum has been an
other ont of various propositions. To-
day, however NJ. Lockroy, Minister
ot Public Instruction, announced his
intention of bringing bill before Par
lament for the laying out of garden
on this area. which is some ten acres
in extent. For the present, he added,
sweet simplicity would be studied as
much as possible. as subsequently a
portion or the whole of the site would
be occupied by a monument in honor
OF the revolution. What form this
monument is to take is not yet ex-
planned, but it may safely be presumed
that such an idea will not be carried

Prince and Beooar Maid.

The late Duke Miximilian of Bavaria,
father of the Empress Elizabeth, was
very proud of his talented son, the ocu-
list, Duke Carl Theodor, and often
recommended him to'patients. Passing
along the streets of Munich one day he
met blind girl standing on the corner
singing. Tossing a piece of gold into
her outstretched hand he went on, but
suddenly returned to inquire more
infinitely into her affection. "Well,"
said he, Il shall give you the address
of physician who may be able to cure
you" With that he tore a sheet of
paper from his notebook, wrote few
lines upon it, and left the girl, who con-
tinued her singing. When she returned
home that evening her mother and sis
ter would not believe their eyes, for the
note was signed Duke Macmillan" and
addressed to Duke Theodor." They
thought someone had been jesting. But
the girl had confidence in the kindly
voice, and in company with friend went
to the palace.
eyes" said Duke Theodor, upon read
ing the note, father has already told me
about you, and we shall see what can
be done" The operation which he per-
formed was successful. The girl re-
gained her sight, which fos many years
had been clouded, and married through
her patrons influence, a wealthy mer
chant. Not long before the death Of
her benefactor her first child was born
and the old duke consented to be its
godfather.

When you cannot do away with thing
do your utmost to turn it into a positive
use. For instance, old wooden kitchen
chairs can for very little expense
be made as good as new and fit to grace
the parlor. Thoroughly cleanse them
with strong soda and warm water, to
remove all grease. When perfectly
dry, put on smoothly and carefully
black enamel paint. When quite dry,
carefully gild all the little rings and
corners on the backs and legs Of the
chairs. The Diamond paint and gold
for gliding comes ready prepared with
full directions for use, and can be OBJ
tanned of most chemists. When the
wood work is complete, make some
cretonne cushions, stuff them, and with q
large packing needle, at equal distance,
draw some strong string through with q
tuffet of wool or covered button or
the showing side. Make them firm to
the chair and they are complete. II
mend up picture frames, fill up the
broken pieces with putty, and then re
gid the whole with the gold the same

He said they had gone the full dis

impelled to go further still. His mate
demonstrated with him, reminding him
of the fine to which he rendered himself

known what sea-sickness was, became
so ill that he was compelled to take to

that he had lost his senses and that they
were justified in disregarding his COM

this became agonizing, and he implored
them to go out at least till morning, when,
if day light came and they could see no
adequate reason for going further, he
would let them return to port.
To tins they reluctantly consented;
and when day dawned the man at the

"That is what has brought us hither"
the Captain exclaimed with decision.
"Head towards it, and let us see what it

alone were 81, 900 last year.
The women's council was organized
in Washington last spring when the
first national council of American wo-
men was held. The council will en-
deavor to secure the admission of wo-
men to local, state, and national organ
izations, such as press, medical, and
ecclesiastical associations. It also asks
that the doors of such schools and coll
leges as are not now open to women
may be thrown open for their admis-
sion.
carmen SYLVIA" the queen Of Rou-
mania, is again before the public with
new work. This time the eminent lady's
efforts have resulted in novel bearing
the rather iejune title, ga Heart Re
gained" The subject of the work is
the reverse of pleasant, and the story
ends in dismally tragic manner-a
state of affairs quite unsual with Gear
men," whose good humor and sunny
temperament have heretofore hept her
from indulging in forbidden moods.
In the recent agitation of the ques-
ton of women's work and wages it is
interesting to hear of plan devised by
some enterprising young women of New
York. With their joint stock of money
fifty of these ladies rented store, pur-
chased small quantity of dry goods,
and bent their individual endeavors to
the building up special patronage. The
scheme has been an immense success,
and business has grown steadily until q
new store has become necessary to &C.
commodate the trade.
LITERARY soirees are fashionable
novelty with society women who have q
taste for literature and like to encour-
age aspiring amateurs. Having secured
the service of some lady of literary fame,
the hostess invites a score or more Of
her friends, who listen to the reading
Of a paper, carry on brisk conversation
on literary topics, partake of an elabor-
ate supper, and have good time gen
orally. The plan, which originated in
Philadelphia, is an immense success
there and will probably be adopted in
other cities.
A VERY pleasant and "genteel" way
of making little pin money has been
found in the new feminine fad for wood
carving. The tools required in carving
are of the lightest, requiring the exer-
ton of no muscular strength in their
manipulation, and almost any woman
with quick eye, a little artistic feeling,
and steady hand can master the art in
a few weeks time. II the taste for
wood-carving continues to increrse it
will supply an occupation in which wo-
men who go into it for something more
than amusement will find, if they are
artists, one more welcome resource.

High latitudes enjoy a high degree Of
immunity from such plaques as serpents
and climatic fever; but it would be
decided mistake to suppose that the
plague Of winged blood-suckers is con-
fined to the tropics. Mosquitoes are ter
ribly troublesome in the bottoms Of the
lower Arkansas River, and almost in
tollerably abundant in the delta Of the
Rio Negro; but the nephts-ult'n of the
affection seems to prevail in Western
Alaska, in the swamp jungles at the
junction of the Yukon River and the
south-fork Of Beale's Greek. In that
hades of the Hyperboreans, even the
stolid patience Of All Sin fails to resist
the terrors of the gnat-plague, and
gang of Cinnamon, hired by an Ameri-
can contractor, threw up their job of
BODYBUILDING, and renowned all their
arrears of wages, rather than finish their
work at the expense Of their life blood.
At the end of June, gnats of three or
four species awake from their winter
sleep, and by the end of July become
numerous enough to hover above the
swamps in clouds that can be seen like
drifting mist, from distance OF half
a mile; and, in the words Of an expert,
"fall upon travellers face and hands
like q slo1ver of hot ashes" The
plague reaches its maximum at the end
of August, when the swamps are aban-
doned, even by the berry-picking ma
tives; but the first September frost
mends matters sufficiently to give a.hun-
ter chance to visit the Inferno in thu,
early morning hours. From October TO
May, those same swamps are buried in
snow, and the contrast between bog of
that sort, and the cloudless tablelands
of Western Mexico, seems certainly to
equal the expected difference of hades
and Heaven. Blade.

THE EVILS OF CIGARETTE SMOK-
ING.

To be healthy the cigarette must be
thrown away. 1t is very injurious and
sure death to those who smoke them
habitually. Tobacco in any form is bad.
In cigarette there are five poisons, in
a good cigar only one. In a cigarette
there is the oil in the paper, the oil of
nicotine, saltpetre to preserve the to-
bacco, and opium to make it mild, and
the oil in the favoring. The trouble
with the cigarette is the inhaling of the
smoke. Ii you blow a mouthful of
smoke through handkerchief you will
find it leaves brown stain. Inhale the
smoke or blow it through the nostril,
and all this stain will disappear. The
oil and poison remains in the head or
body. Cigarettes create a thirst for
rum. There should be anti-cigarette
societies. Teachers ought to watch and
see that their pupils do not smoke. In
1879 100000 cigarettes were manufac-
tured. Last year there were l, 200, OOO,-
