The conditions Of life in New York give
rise to numberless occupations peculiar 10
great city, among the most novel Of
which Is that OF a woman who was
witness in n case In court. She testified
that 1t was her business TO hire unfuruished
fats, fiji them up and re-rent them to
families She received enough from the
tenants to pay the owner of the house the
rent and to meet all other expenses, enough
remaining besides TO give her neat profit
for her labor.
She drfted into the business because her
husband owned AN apartment house, and
had more or leas difficulty In securing
suitable tenants The wife conceived the
idea of furnishing the suites of apartments,
and found that her plan was an admirable
one. She rented the entire house at terms
which made the venture exceedingly
profitable
Her success led her To extend her opera
tions. She rented one fiat after another
lifted them up and let them again, until
now she has about forty which she sub
rents She obtains favorable terms from
the landlord, as be runs no risk Of losing
the rent and does not have TO bother with
collecting from the various tenants sep..-
rately
The woman would not have done so we'll
were she not possessed of uncommon bust
ness ability and shrewdness. So many
families live right up to their income and
find IL difficult to set enough aside To buy
furniture and furnishings that they are
glad to pay considerably more for a fiat
that Is all fitted up than for one which is
not.
Besides, New York people are often much
addicted to the habit OF moving, and tho
arrangement saves no end of bother and
worry on moving day. Families with
migratory habits find the woman's busi-
ness great boon. and others will no doubs
be attracted 10 1t In tine.-New York Trib-

NJ Zola, in The Figaro, in reply to
some critics, insists that the emperor
rouged his cheeks at Sedan. The
emperor's friends. he says, have
talked as if to have done so would
have been humiliating-''the role of

seems To me great mistake find
the act worthy Of a hero of
a Shakespearean play, heightening
the figure of Napoleon III to a tragic
melancholy of an infinite grandeur. !"
That is a enthusiastically French
exaggeration. We presume III. Zpla
means that it was noble of the en-
peror to take the trouble to conceal
from his troops his desperate phys

that it was n prudent thing not to
show a cheek of ghastly pallor. we
