A P1eture of the BOuleNArds from Seven
O'Clock Until Aftep Midnight
At seven o'clock or half-past seven,
dinner. Paris is, Of an cities, the sec
ond city where one can, according to
whim, eat the dearest or the cheapest.
But on the boulevards there is little
choice; the rents are 60 enormous that
they oblige the managers of restaur-
ants TO maintain very high prices.
Foreigners bewarei You are exploited
in Paris just as we are probably
bounced upon in New York. Capitals
have nothing to learn from n an
other in that respect.
Nine o'clock-You 70 10 the theater,

much noise the morrow's operations.
1t is what is called the petite Bourse du
soir.
Midnight-The theaters close. This
is the time when the aspect of the
boulevards is most varied. All classes

Swallows Instead OF Carrier Pigeons
An interesting account has appeared
of an experiment made in the north Of
France in the training of swallows as
carriers, and in testing the swallows so
trained by competition with carrier
pigeons. A brood of young swallows
having been taken from their nest in
the caves of a house, were first trained
TO fly from the ground to the nest,
then, by gradually increasing stages,
from Ronbaix TO Lille, and finally from
Paris to Ronbaix, a distance of lao
miles.
When this had been successfully ac-
complished a race was arranged over
the latter course between the swallows
and some trained carrier pigeons, with
the result that the swallows came in
winners by three-quarters Of an hour.
The success of the experiment seems TO
reveal great possibilities for the future
Of this method Of rapid communica.

Advocate, when it says: "The police

are the judges of the best manner of
performing that duty Our under
stapding of the law is that they are
required to advertise for bids and are

if it is not given to the lowest bidder

will be heard throughout the State with
universal regret, for no public man
held more informally the general esteem
of the people. He first came promi-

party and people in their struggle with
those who had fastened themselves on
the State under the quasi military
power of reconstruction. In that try
ing time he always bore himself with
steadfast duty and high patriotism, and
though he failed to establish the gov
ernment of which he was the chosen
leader, yet his sturdy defense Of canse
which be knew to be just opened the
record of his life is one of honor and
adherence to duty. After life's 6tfui
fever he sleeps we'll, and his name will
