UnsoId Books in Paris.

Parisians-if we are to judge from
some statistics published-do not take SO
kindly at present to fiction in book form.
Formerly the yellow covered novel,
which costs usually about half crown
or little more when just issued, was to
be seen on every table and in the hands
of numerous travellers by boat, rail or
car. There is now, however, crisis
threatened in the book trade, and novels
are at a considerable discount.
1t is estimated that there are from fif-
teen to twenty popular authors whose
books I'LL the requirements of the pub
fishers. To attain this end at least
thirty thousand copies of a work must
be sold. Zola aud few others reach
this point easily, bat it has happened
lately that one Of the most celebrated Of
the latter-day fctionists had the misfor-
tune to find that 45. 600 copies of his last
production were returned to the pub
fishers by the Maison Hachette, which
has the monopoly of railway bookstalls.
OF a splendidly bound book by IA
nous author, ornamented with designs
BY eminent artists and advertised in the
most extensive and elaborate manner,
only one copy was got off. OF another
work Of the same description, but less
expensive, only six copies were sold, the
remainder being handed over at ridic-
ulous price to the secondhand booksell-
ers on the quays. 1t is stated further
more that one publisher in Paris has
now on hand 3,0o0, 000 volumes which he
cannot sell.-London Telegraph

How to Be Healthy and Hairy.

now TO DC htaAlAAy anu EalTEs
A new prophet has arisen. His claims
to attention are imperative from the fact
that he guarantees his followers exemp-
ton from two Of the greatest Athletic
to which fashionable flesh is herd
pepsia and badness. The name of the
prophet is Khorf, Russian, and he
bears his credentials writ large on his
person.
Though he has already passed the
span allotted to humanity by the
Psalmist, he is as agile as young opos-
sum and as well thatched as Absalom.
His rules of longevity are refreshingly
simple. Eschew all drugs, never shave,
live in the open air as much as possible,
and wear as little clothes as you can
these are the cardinal doctrines of hy-
giene according to Khorf. So shall you
become healthy, happy and hairy; for
In the view of the new prophet the nat
ural condition of the human being is to
be all hairy like Esau, or all downy like
Stanley's pygmies. Above all, you must
"walk rhythmieally," for DR.. Khorf
maintains that we digest with our legs
and not with our stomach. Meat, spirits,
mineral waters, and theaters are all ta-
booed in the Khorian system. Personally,
he never wears hat, and takes his meals
in the open air. No doubt, if this hirsute
sage's mode of life were compulsorily
enforced on the entire population we
should all be speaking Simian in couple
of generations. If ever there is a car
or an emperor who is an ardent Darwin
ian, the temptation to try the experiment
will probably prove irresistible.-London

THE BIRTH OF A PRAYER.
About the church soft rnusie flowed.

About the church soft music flowed.
Fair voices borne on organ wares.
With tinted Light the dim aisIes aIowed,
Like caves that sunlit water layes:
The twelve Apostles carved In stone
Looked grimly down upon the nave,
Where faces chilly as their own
No sign of kindliag fervor gave.
The music and the sunshine kept
The secret of their gladness wei.
As Ger our heavy souls they swept
The tale Of empty praise TO tell:
Nor ruby light. nor old gray walls.
Nor vested priest. nor music fair.
Nor the sweet holy hush that falls
Within a church. move hearts 10 prayer.
l saw gray old man bend down
His shaggy head, his furrowed face,
And, with pleased and patient frown.
Help his wee lass TO find the place:
The two heads bobbed about the page,
Roses and withered leaves at play.
One finger plump. one crooked with age,
Picked verse by verse the doubtful way.
Great glasses. jigging to the lines.
Braced his dim eyes the words TO trace.
While the small pouter watched the signs
OF hope or failure in his face;
The knotted finger stopped at last,
So did the plump one. with an air,
And up and down such looks were cast
That in my heart was born a prayer.

Last evening as two ladies and gentle
man were walking on Third street they
observed, few feet in advance of them, a
group of men around COW lying very
still with a man setting upon her hips.
One of the ladies who is very sympathetic
ran forward and said: rs the horse died"
The man repliedI THE cow am dead. :"
The scene was weird, solemn one, with
the flashes of electric light playing amid
the shadows of the cottonwoods and fall
ing upon the counteaance of the COW
which still retained the all-gone expression
she held as she passed from earth away
forever The attitude of the mourners, or
the grave diggers, all combined with the
inquiry of the lady was an impressive
and poetical moment, yet amidst such
there was laughter.

DEVOURBD BY HOGS.
A Little Boy Attacked by Savage
Sow-A Mothers Terrific Battle.

Sow-A Mothers Terrific Battle.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
VINCENNEs, IND, Oct. 5.-A little son of
Robert Kirk, aged years, living at Pur-
cells station, five miles south of here, was
yesterday almost literally devoured by hogs.
He had accompanied an older brother
into the yard to feed the stock, and while
the elder boy went to the barn the younger
attempted to catch pig. The mother of
the pig leaped at him and fastened her tusks
in the back of his neck, dragging him to
the ground.
Presently several hogs out of the drove
rushed at the child and began to devour
him. The brutes tore all of his clothes into
shreds. and ate the flesh from his cheeks,
arms and legs, decorating his left side in a
horrible manner.
The mother of the boy who was milking
some distance off came to the rescue, and by
a superhumen effort snatched the almost
lifeless body of her child from the jaws of
the beasts. With club in one hand aud
the naked and bleeding form OF her son to
her breast, she fought her way through the
drove of ferocious hogs, and escaped with>
out injury.
The child was frightfully mangled, but
lived several hours after the rescue.
