IN PARIS.
Decline OF the Cafe Old style and B,s.
of the BrasRerfe.

Of the I3rasserie.
Our contemporary, the Gaulois.
says the Paris Galignani Messenger,
referring to the approaching sale of
the well-known Cafe Tortoni, la.
ments the decline in popularity and
the rapid disappearance OF the modest
old white and gold cafes, simply fur
nished, and SO we'll adapted for men,
tai repose and quiet conversation,
which at one time were dotted all
over Paris. 1t looks with disfayor, il
not dislike, upon the pretentious es-
adjustments which are fast super
seding them-the brasseries, with
their painted windowsan and sumptuous
appointments. It is true, perhaps,
that the old-fashioncd cafe is fated
to disappear in Paris, and that it
will be found no longer, except in
charming old world provincial towns.
The surest sign is that we no longer
drink coffee in cafes We take our
demi-lasse either at home or in the
restaurant. We know that we never
find this demi-lasse satisfying; that
the places are few where they still
love and take pride in this delicious
beverage, black and fragrant, strong
and exciting, which clears the brain,
purifles the Thought, stimulates
apathy, and dispels the blues. No,
the day is past, or almost past, Of
this cup of coffee taken away from
home, which was so much in honor
100 years ago, but which had to yield.
before the all-conquering book. It
was the helpmeet of wine, and the
sensuality of the eighteenth century
discovered in this fiery coffee the
spark which kindled the fame of its
wit. Will the restless nineteenth
century decisively elect to pursue its
meditati0ns around tables groanine
with salvers laden with the foamtng
and frothy juice of the hop? We
would fain think otherwise. And vet
the rows of brasseries keep on length
ening along the causeways. Crowds
flock to them, winter and summer,
inside and outside; the smoke of in
Vulnerable pipes mounts upward, I'M
limited beer flows, and an imitation
of Germany springs up in our midst,
but without Germany's fine poetic
dreams and lofty metaphysical specu-
lations. 1t is when we return from
London that we best taste and COM
prehend the charm of the terrace of
cafes along a boulevard, stepped in
sunshine and shadow, which, in spite
of the crowds and the vehicles, looks
like a delicious walk in park.

For some time after the Worlds
Fair project was launched, the adj
minfstration Of its affairs was in the
hands Of so many men that little
progress could be made, and little
harmony reigned. The reason for
this was seen, and the affairs placed
under the management of a smaller
number of men, until finally the ex-
ecutive force of the fair was reduced
to four men, known as the Council of
Administration. At the head of this
all-powerful board was placed Harlow
n. Higinbotham, who in April last
was offered the position of President
OF the local board. This flattering

PAIN in this world is an undoubted
reality. 1t visits all, and though it
bears greater anguish to some than
to others, all feel its torturing touch.
Pain meets a man as he enters the
world, follows him through life, and
leaves him not until his heart grows
still in death. It attends us as a
dark angel wherever we go, through
all seasons Of the year, and through
every period Of our life.
