In the rural districts very little meat is
eaten, but Frenchmen who live in cities con-
sumo great deal of animal food. In Paris,
for example, the annual consumption of
butchers meat is $3.50, 900, 900 pounds, which
means an average of l76 pounds, for each
man, woman and child; and yet the total an
pual consumption for the whole of France is
2,64o, 600 900 pounds, or an average of only
70 pounds per head. If people in all parts
of France were as great meat eaters as those
of Paris it would require something like
6,6o0, Gee, oo0 pounds year to supply them.
Outside of Paris the average per capita con-
sumption in other cities varies from 40 to
IS pounds per head, and in the rural sections
it is not more than Is to 20 pounds Henry

A Sadly Oyerworked word.

The word funny is sadly overworked.
inst listen to the innumerable multitude
of men and women who use it on all pos
sible occasions. Relate to them the last
minstrel joke, the particulars of a great
flood in China or some pathetic story of
destitution and death, and their only re-
mark is: "Well, isn't that funny'" The
other day gentleman walking DOWN
Broadway caught up with an aequaint-
ance, to whom he related the tragic death
of a mother ard daughter in two different
railroad accidents on the same day and at
nearly the same hour, And all the reply
that the human parrot could make was:
"You don't say; wasn't that funny

House Building in Earthquake coun,r,s.

In choosing site for a house in an
earthquake country, find out by the ex-
perience of others the localities which ara
least disturbed, and build there. Some
times these localities will be upon hills.
and at other times in valleys and on the
plains. A wide open plain is less likely
to be disturbed than a position on a hill.
especially on the edge of a hill.
Avoid building on loose materials which
rest on hard strata beneath. Place
foundations on tie hard rock and leave a
pit or trench all round them ND to the
surface of the ground.
If earthquakes in a region come ALWAYS
from one direction, build the house so that
the blank walls are parallel to this direc-
ton, and so that the walls with many
openings in them-as windows and doors
are at right angles to such direction.
Small structures can be supported on
nests of spherical balls laid between two
flat iron plates. Such houses are much
less shaken than the ordinary kind. 1t is
advisable that brick chimneys to wooden
houses should be built SO that the Chin
ney is not bound closely to the wooden
structure, but is detached from it in such
a way as to allow it to have its own period
of vibration without interfering with that

The Demand for Rubbers,

There has been a wonderful increase of
late years in the demand for rubbers, and
they have almost supplanted the heavy
overshoe SO popular few seasons ago.
Lately the sales of rubbers have almost
doubled and the demand has at times
been almost equal to the supply. The
light rubber serves the purpose of warmth
and keeps the water out, and is, there
fore, of double advantage and safer than
the heavy overshoe, as one is less liable to
colds if by some mischance he should for
get to put them on. There is popularity
about the styles worn. Elderly people
wish heavy, full rubber, and want them
large, so that they can easily be put on
and taken off. The middle aged person
wants full rubber, but as light as posi-
BILE and perfect fit. The young man or
miss wants a tip that is half rubber,
just covering the heel and part of the toe,
exposing most of the shoe. They must fit
like glove, too, To one who has had ex-
perience in this line of business it. is easy
to ''size up" customer, and one who I'M
derstands the trade rarely loses much
time in selling a pair of rubbers.-Dealer
in Globe Democrat.

three of them, dividing her sandwich
between them while they bestow upon her
a liberal amount Of their cake, fruit or
candy. II sometimes one OF the group in
his deep admiration Of her maidenly
charms forgets his substantial sandwich
and pauses to look abstractedly into her
honest, charming face, he is not harmed
in the least, neither is she, for her head Is
on straight; she looks at people through
right seeing eyes.
Boys are something te her besides beaux
they are good comrades, friends II they
bring the girl their sweetest roses she ac.

the smirking or other Stiffness practiced by

Her mother dresses the young creature as
beeOmingly as she can afford, and the boys
know that her taste is modest and correct,
they take pride in it, too, in a manly kind
of way
In her early childhood this charming girl
played with boys and girls alike; she took
the reins sometimes, driving a peighbOr's
boy to school, while another day she en-.
acted the part of frisky colt. In school
she sat with her brother or by the side of d
boy near her own age, who knew that he
was lucky in being seated there. OF beau
talk our unconscious charmer had heard
| little at home, but she had learned that
| beauty is a precious gift Of nature, some
| thing for which we deserve no credit, anC
although beautiful and becoming clothes
enhance ones charms they are of little con
sequence when worn by the shallow, ma
neuvering, fiirtatious girl While acting
| her honest self she unconsciously charms
those who have deep insight to the char
acter of those about them, and are thus
capable of appreciating her worth.
Now who shall say that mothers are MOI
many times responsible for the peculiari
ties and mistakes of the would be charme
as well as the delightful manner and fas
cinating graces of the unconscious charm
err To be sure mothers are not omnipres
ent; it is impossible for them to know al
that is said and done, and no doubt ther
are perverse young people who rebel agains
any right precept. For such as these onl.
the person who has studied the previous
generations can account. Wherever the,
are met they shock, amaze and make u
sorrowful to the same extent that our jol
ly, rightminded girls brighten, cheer ant

The Most Artistic Dwelling in New York

The Most Artistic Dwelling in New York.
Probably the most artistic as well as
beautiful house in New York is the home
of ex-Mayor Abram S. Hewitt, on the
southeast corner of Lexington avenue and
Twenty street, formerly the home
of his father-in-law, Peter Cooper Within
the past few years the house has been thor
oughly remodeled and refurnished from
top to bottom. The great drawing room,
which is perfectly square, is decorated in
Louis XVI style, and for the most part is
furnished with articles of the same period
Crimson damask silk covers the walls, and
curtains of the same material drape the
windows. The center of the ceiling is
dome shaped, and from the center hangs a
large alabaster lamp, mounted in gilded
bronze. Among the exquisite articles in
the room is Louis XIV harp, gilded and
carved, with it's sounding board covered
with beautifully painted flowers and mu
sical instruments. 1t is said to be repro.
duction of the harp once owned by Marie
Antoinette.
The small drawing room, which is along
side of the larger apartment, is in Louis
XIV style, and in it's furniture are seen

afterward Louis XVI, upon his marriage
with the Archduchess Marie Antoinette, by
the city of Lyons. Oriental porcelains
Chinese enamels and pieces of rare china
| fill the tables and cabinets.
Another beautiful room in Mr.. Hewitt's
mouse is the dining room, thoroughly Re
naissance in style. Both ceiling and wall!
are paneled in natural wood, the forme
being copied from an original ceiling in ont
of the old baronial houses of England. Th'
carved furniture and window hangings ar
an exact reproduction of the period. Grim
