New ExDerienc for Paris.

A Paris correspondent writes:
Mosquitoes are, [ venture to say, for
the first time within the memory of
the oldest inhabitant, plague of
many parts of Paris. The dampness
of the spring is said to be the reason
why they nightly buzz, bite and
leave faces and hands covered with
hard, red blotches. But | believe
the true cause is the wholesale de-
struction of Seine fish when the ice
foes in that river were being dyna-
mited last winter. I never suffered
so much in warm weather in any part
of the south of France from mosqui-
toes as | have done this week. IT one
sits by lamp near an open win
dow along many of the bouleyards a
swarm of them assails one. The mos
quito bed net not being used in Paris,
one lies down at night unprotected,
and is liable to rise in the morning
with a disfigured face in state OF
painful itching.

A Cincinnati woman the other day
wanted warrant for the arrest of a
man for theft on the ground that
the spirits had informed her that he
was the guilty person. ooh, we can't
issue a warrant on such evidence as
that" exclaimed the clerk. "Not

claimed the woman in establishment.
I'm afraid not" was the reply.
''This is an outrage" she exclaimed.

it. And if that amt evidence, I'd
like to know what is. But it's gittiR'
so there amt no justice in this coun-
try, anyhow. I'll tell Bright Star
bout this, see if | don't. And he'll
paralyze the hull blamed court, that's
what he'll do" And she walked out

ton. There is no antidote, says
Frank Leslie's, the most careful
chemical analysis failing to reveal the
reason of it's baleful effects, and thus
giving the veterinary no cleW to work
upon in his attempt to cure. The
actions of a "locoed" animal are pitt
full in the extreme. He will spring
wildly into the air, strike head, neck,

Queer French Freaks.

Concerning the popular query, are
the French less polite than their
forefathers, NJ. Girandeau thinks
they have progressed not only in
personal cleanliness but in manners,
The lords and ladies of the court
previous to the revolution were ex-
tremely slipshod and slovenly when
not strutting about in Versailles.
Manuals of politeness prescribed a
careful combing of the head before
one dressed for dinner, and recon-
mended those who felt their heads
itch on no account to scratch them.
Pocket handkerchiefs only came in
with snuff, and were colored to dis
pense with frequent washing. At
the court of Louis XIV. the nose was
blown with the fingers of the left
hand, because the right was used for
eating meat with.

evoke of Oxen"

Time was when a yoke of oxen were
considered Indispensable adjuncts of
a New England farm, but it seems
that they no longer occupy that posi-
ton. At the Hampden County Har-
vest Club meeting, the other day, a
farmer called attention to this fact,
saying that a few years ago in his
town over forty yoke of cattle were
gotten together for the moviag Of a
church on wheels. New scarcely a
yoke can be found there. Oxen are
fast giving way to horses for farm
work, and the latter are considered
cheaper on the whole and more gen
orally useful. At the same time, a
NeW-England farm without a yoke of
oxen looks queer to the men of to-
day who passed their boyhood tilling
the soil. So says the Boston Journal,
and it confirms the impressions of any
New-England man who knew any
thing about a farm in boyhood. What
splendid-looking animals the oxen
used to be at New-England fair,
and how proud the farmers used to be
of them! Some of the solid men"
in the county were not ashamed to
take hand in blowing match in
those days.

Toronto PeculiaritIes.

Toronto is probably the strictest
Sabbatarian city in America, and very
few cities in any part Of the world
are more rigid. All business is sus
pended on Sunday, all stores are
closed; it is even forbidden to sell
newspapers or soda water; no street
cars are allowed to run, and any kind
of transportation is difficult to get.
But a great many of the less truly
good Torontonians have been OBJ
jecting strongly to the tightness OF
things. Queens Park is a beautiful
place, but it is quite a long way out
Of town, and, as no street cars are
allowed to run, many thousands OF
citizens are deprived of the enjoy
ment of the park simply because they
cannot walk the great distance. The
street-car question has been made a
political issue, and it is probable it
will be decided at the polls at the
coming municipal election. -

Physical Peculiarities.

The right arm is always a little
larger than the left, but the left foot
is almost always larger than the
right, presumably because, while
nearly every man uses his right arm
to lift a weight or strike a blow, he
invariably kicks with his left foot,
while the lounger stands on his left
leg and lets his right fall easily, be-
cause he has learned by experience
that this is the best attitude he can
assume to prevent lassitude and IA
tigue. This constant bearing of the
weight on the left foot makes it wild
er than the right, and it often hap
pens that man who tries on a shoe
on the right foot and gets a close fit
has to discard the shoes altogether
because he cannot endure the pain
caused by the tightness Of the left.
If, when riding on street car, you
will take the trouble to notice, you
will see that in laced shoes the gap
is smaller on the right foot than on
the left, while on button shoes the
buttons have to be set back ten times
on the left shoe to once on the right.

everyday happenings and are general

everyday happenings and are general
ly most destructive. In Toxic as
many as Is, 900 houses have been de-
strOyed by fire in the course of a week.
and the same is true OF other centers
of population. 1t has been estimated
that during ten years Toxic loses as
many houses as constitute the entire
city.
From this it might be assumed that
fire companies are unknown in Japan,
but such an assumption would be
and towns of Japan supplied with
fire brigades, but, further, they are
equipped with fire engines Of the most
modern make. What adds to the de-
structiveness Of Japanese fires is
primarily lack of water and again the
nature of the material of which the
houses are made. The houses are
constructed entirely of wood with the
exception of tiles on the roof, and
sometimes for these shingles are sub
stituted These two causes make the
mode of fighting fire a peculiar one.
Instead of preventing the spread Of a
conf1agration as with US, Japanese
firemen devote themselves to tearing
down neighboring buildings, 50 as to
isolate the burning mass. For this
they are especially drilled, and it must
be said, to stranger eyes, in a grOtesque
and ludicrous manner. Ladders are
held upright by a number of men and
up these the tiremen go to practice
acrobatic feats calculated to aid them
in their work. They cling to the side
of the ladder with one arm and foot;
sit mOnkey-fashiOn on the top round
and even maintain inverted positions.
The object is to accustom them to
cling to the ladders with their feet, so
as to have their hands free to use i'm
plements in tearing down houses.
AS in some of the cities of our
Southern republics, where firemen,
neatly attired, leisurely go to the
scene of conf1agration, and regard the
occasion much as United States de-
partments do a day of parade, so in
Japan firemen march to a fire with as
much solemnity as marks a funeral
and with as little speed. Each corps
is headed by the bearer of large Ian
tern of curious device, much as a
drum major leads divisions Of process
siOns in American cities.

A Pretty and Simple Mode of Decor
A simple decorative novelty is a
huge butterfly made from japanese
napkin and clothespin. Crimp up
the napkin in the middle and pull it
through the slit in the clothespin.
Then pull out the corners of the nap
kin and tack them up against the
wall. The tacks will be found strong
enough to hold the clothespin in
place.
OF course it will be seen that the
clothespin forms the body of the but
terfly and the outspread paper nap
kin the wings. 1t is advisable to Sc
lect as gay napkin as possible, SO
that the bright colors may add to the
brilliant butterfly effect.
1t has been suggested that the
clothespin be painted or gilded, but
this seems scarcely worth while when
combined with anything so cheap
and common as paper napkin. An
embroidered silk handkerchief might
be tried as substitute, and fastened
