Homes for French Workmen.

Hitherto the working classes in Paris
have lived in great tenement houses
and have had no experience Of separate
dwellings. Now, however, an effort is
to be made to provide them an improved
mode of life. A society with large
capital has been formed for the pur-
pose. There will be six thousand
houses erected, to constitute quarter
in the extreme northeast, on site hith-
erto partly haunt of roughs. Already
nearly two hundred have been finished
and occupied. They cost each from
one thousand two hundred and twenty
dollars to five thousand dollars, those
representing the smallest figure being,
of course, the most numerous. In each
case there is a garden in front and a
yard behind, with sanitary arrange
ments. The occupants ~are to become
owners in fifty years by payment of
rent.

Experiments in XiVisection.

In England licenses to experiment
upon living animals are grudgingly
granted, and only to persons recon-
mended by high scientific authority. A
strict record of all experiments in vivi-
section is kept, and reported annually
to parliament. The latest of these re-
ports shows during 1890, 2,1O2 expert
ments by ITO persons. In 920 cases
the patient suffered no pain, being
kept in a condition of perfect an
9sthesia, while in 657 cases the pain
endured was only that caused by by
podermic injection. The government
inspector reported that he had not
found a single animal which seemed to
be in bodily pain. The subjects under
investigation included tuberculosis, can
GER, diphtheria; pneumonia, tetanus,
rabies, circulation, respiration, nerve
action, the effect of various poisons
and narcotics, the development of bac-
terra etc

CHAPTER XXI.

Thanks to my darling's devotion, to
her unwearied attentions, to her fore
sight and care of me, | was strong
enough to leave my cabin on the third
day following my restoration to con
sciousness.
During that time many inquiries
were made after my health by the pas
sengers, and Mary told me that the
greatest curiosity prevailed fore and
aft to see me. So misfortune had made
a little ephemeral hero of me, and this,
perhaps, was one stroke of compensa-
ton which l should have been very
willing to dispense with.
The second officer of the ship, a man
of about my height and build, had
very kindly placed his wardrobe at my
disposal but all that l had chosen to
borrow from him was some linen,
which, indeed, stood greatly in need
Of; but my clothes, though rather the
worse for saltwater, were, in my opin-
ION, quite good enough for me to wear
until should be able to buy new out
fit ashore.
At twelve o'clock, then, on the third
day, l rose and leisurely dressed my
self, and then sat waiting for Mary,
whose arm to lean on l preferred to any
ones else.
She came to the cabin presently, and
arms with SO deep feeling of happi-
ness and love and gratitude in me that
/ had no words to speak to her.
1t was when released her that she
said: ''Since God has heard our pray
ers, dearest, and mercifully preserved
US from death, shall we thank Him,
now that we are together, and say one
prayer for my dear father, who, firm
" believe, looks down upon US and has
still the power to bless usP"
took her hand, and we knelt to-
gether, and, first thanking her for re-
minding me of my bounden duty, 1
lifted up my heart to Almighty God,
Father of all men, who had guarded US
amid our perils, who had brought us to
the knowledge and love of Him and of
each other by the lesson of hard trials
and sorrowful privation.
When Iquitted the cabin, supported
by Mary, found myself in a very spa
cious saloon, most handsomely fur
nished and decorated, and striking me
more by the contrast it offered to the
plain and small interior of the Grosve-
nor's cabin.
The table was being prepared for
lunch; smartly-dressed stewards and
under-stewards trotted to and fro;
there were flowers on the table, vases
of goldfish swinging from the deck, a
rich thick carpet under foot, comforta-
BILE and handsome sofas; pianoforte
stood against the mizzen-mast, which
was covered with a mahogany skin and
gilded; two rows of lamps went the
length of the saloon, and what with
the paintings on the cabin doors, the
curtains, the rich brass-work about the
spacious skylights, the bright sunshine
streaming in upon the whole scene and

To Preserve Stocking-Tops.

If other mothers have been troubled
as have been with the inevitable holes
made in the tops of stockings by every
variety of stocking-supporter, they
may be glad to learn of my way out of
the difficulty. To one end of a strip of
elastic four inches long sew doubled
piece of tape long and wide enough for
a stout button-hole. This buttons on
the waist. To the other end sew two
narrower strips of tape, four or five
inches long, and these L tie to CORE
spending tapes on the stocking. Each
stocking is finished around the top on
the inside by piece of tape, from the
opposite sides of which come the
strings which tie over the knee. AT
night all that is necessary to do is to
inhibition them from the waist. BaGy-

ENGLISH AS SHE IS WROTE.
Struggles of an Enterprising Frenchman
with Our Native Tongue.

Struggles of an Enterprising Frenchman
with Our Native Tongue.
The Joyous Portuguese writer who
rendered lasting service to the gayety
of nations in his learned essay on
''English as She Is Spoke" probably
derived his knowledge of our language
through the complicated media of a
Portuguese-French and French-Eng-
lish dictionary, and the latter we sus-
pect to have been the same one en-
ployed by the compiler of Baschet's
Catalogue ulustre'' of the Paris salon.
This really interesting work not only
gives a more or less entertaining impress
sion of large number of paintings re-
produced in wood cuts, says the New
York Times, but in it's English render
ing of the French titles it gives de-
lightful notion of some French concep-
tons of our own intricate and battling
tongue.
When the translator s0aght the Eng
fish for "Une Bagarre-Des BRufs
Italiens,' the title to a picture repre-
senting stampede of Italian cattle, he
hit upon the simple phrase: ga SQUAD
Dle.'' He came across Jean, Mon
Porte-Carnier'' attached to the picture
of a bright young game carrier, follow
ing aspOrtsman who has evidently, from
the appearance of the well-flled sack
over the boys shoulder, had very good
luck, and he rendered the title: John,
My Game Bag" When M. Berthelon
| paints sea after the storm and styles
| it; "Mer Demontee" the translator
gives us: ''An Outrageous Sea-" the
genesis of which quite eludes us. A
still life with red chalk sketch against

| title: "Une Sanguine'' plumply turned
| into: "a Sanguine." With touch of
unexpected familiarity with early Eng
Hsh "Printemps Fleuri'' becomes
''Bloomy Spring" A group of iron

DOGS THAT WENT FISHING.
A Newfoundland That Was Fond of Catch.
ing Grabs.

Newfoundland That Was Fond of Catch
ing Grabs.
I once knew two dogs that took great
delight in catching crabs, says a writer
in Forest and Stream, not soft crabs,
but lusty, hard ones, capable Of making
a good fight. When about twelve years
of age l used to spend my vacations at
large farm on tributary of the Chesa-
peake bay. Besides myself there was
another boy and two dogs at this house.
One of the dogs was a large Newfound-
land, and the other was one of those
medium-sized, puzzling combinations of
short hair and no particular color
probably an all-around dog, as con-
cerned his breeding,
One day l noticed the large dog wad-
ing about in the shallow water at the
foot of the yard and evidently searching
for something. / found that he was
looking for crabs. When crab was
discovered he would prance around it,
and, after making several attempts,
seize it in his mouth and bring it up on
the beach, and then play with it, much
as cat does with a mouse, until the
poor crab was either dead or helpleSSly
exhausted. He seemed to do this for
the mere sport of the thing, barking all
the time in tone that denoted excite
ment rather than anger. He never ate
the crabs after killing them. The crabs
fought back to the best of their ability,
and it was often difficult to say which
had the tightest grip, dog or crab, for
the crab would fasten on to some por-
ton of the dogs mouth with both Of his
powerful pinchers, and it would require
much shaking before he would drop off.

Horses in War.

The people of Thessaly were the first
to break horses for service in war, and
their proficiency as equestrians proba-
bly, first gave rise to the ancient myth
that their country was originally in
habited by centaurs, fabulous creac
lures supposed to be half horse and half
man.
