come higher. At regular intervals he
goes round collecting buttons among
tailors and dressmakers, who save
them for him and sell them very cheap.
He has set of regular customers, and
they rarely go away without finding

Bread and Milk.

No matter how much an American
has heard of foreign mi1k-carts drawn
by dogs, and often dogs and women,
1t always seems odd to see such a
strange team. The dogs have pretty
harnesses, and draw bright green carts,
but the look really unhappy, as if they
had no pleasure in their work. They
trot along with their tongues out OF
their mouths, and when they meet an
other dog they cannot even stop to bow
to him. An American child would say
Poor doggiew 1t is said some coun-
tries have made laws prohibiting dogs
from working as milk carriers, and in
few years dog millkmen may be a sight
of the past. 1t is queer that there are
so many kinds of milk-cans in the world.
In America milk is carried in glass bot
ties and in small round tin cans. In
England a pretty tin milk-pail Is used,
furnished with a brass handle and a
wide brass hinge to the cover They
glitter like gold, and the froth of the
white milk makes Tearl rims upon the
well filled cans. 1t is no wonder that
American artists take these cans home
to shine in dark corners of their
studios
After draught of milk from a gay
can, it is easy to think of bread and of
another queer sight in Europe In
every French town little boys in odd
black long-sleeved aprons or blouses
may be met carrying along narrow
loaves with delicate brown crust The
loaves are so large that the boys usu-
ally tuck them under the arm; and it
is easy to see that the bread is well
baked, as the loaves have no paper
covering. The French are a thrifty
people, but it is not the best economy,
one would think, to expose fresh loaves
of bread to dust and weather

Stoves without Flues.

There has recently appeared fresh
illustration of what knowledge is of
most worth in the dangers that come
from the pitiful ignorance of the
simplest facts of science still prevail
ing among presumably well informed
persons. Certain patent fuels" have
been put on sale, to be used in stoves
without chimney connection, and are
advertised as being entirely harmless.
The natural result has followed. Gull
ible merchants, ministers and even dec
tors have been buying them and near
ly smOthering themselves or their
friends with The gases which must re-
suit from the combustion of any form
of carbon. The makers of these fuels
state that ventilation is required with
their apparatus, but their customers
reason, why let in the cold air if the
fuel is harmless, as stated? or they
imagine that one opening from a room
into a hallway secures ventilation y
Probably most of the victims of the
patent fuels have read about the pro-
cess Of combustion, but they have not
learned it's nature from experiments
that would make this knowledge real
to them. Their education has been of
the antiquated but not yet abandoned
kind which substitutes the study of
books for the study of things. AS an
explorer who tries to cross a deep river
is drowned if he can not swim, so any
one who lives in the present age, when
natural forces are being put to serv-
ice as never before. is badly off if he
does not understand how to use these
forces without letting them overwhelm
him. Science is doing many wonderful
things in these times, but it's achieve
ments always consist in employing the
laws of nature, never in circumventing
them.-Popular Science Monthly.

LolE ruLLER,s PARIS sucoRes.

She Has signed n Three Years. Com
'ract and ~ Learning New Dances.
Perhaps the most remarkable success
OF any American girl in Paris, at least
for many years past belongs to Loie
Fuller. The triumph of Miss Fuller
and her serpentine dance seems to be
complete and permanent. Two weeks
ago her Tooth performance was marked
by souvenir night and such hysterical
applause as now and then greets ia
Vorite at the gay French capital. On
that evening she signed three years
contract with the managers of the the
alter. The theater in which Loie Fuller
has made her success is well known to
every American who has been in Paris.
But the Folies- Bergeres is by no means
the Folies-Bergeres they remember,
says the New York World. For in 100
nights all has changed. There is no
longer the noise and clatter of the
music hall, and the young women who
sat without escorts at the tables no
longer hail American tourists with
itheif Tree stray words of English. All
rs changed. These chattering parrots
nave been driven away to the Moulin
Rouge, the Casino de Paris or the cafes
Ichantant, and big row Of new boxes
has been put up in the theater. Men
land women of the most careful re-
lspectablllty now visit the Folies-Ber-
lgefes ana the most circumspect men,
ibers of the English and American colo
'nies are in the boxes. Loie Fuller and
her dance has transformed a Paris con.
icert hall into a respectable theater.
with the new contract Loie Fuller has
iset to work to learn four more new
dances. And Audran, the composer, in
ithe enthusiasm of his first vision of the
iserpentine dance promised the manage
'ment to write the music for one Of the
new dances. Later on he met Miss
Fuller, saw her practicing the other
new movements, grew more enthusi-
astic, and has now composed the music
for all four.

The wonders of the FIrmnment

The Wonders of the FIrmnment
Sir Robert Balls lectures to chill
dren on astronomy have been found
extremely interesting and instructive to
many who could not, strictly speaking,
be included in a Juvenile audience" I"
Sir Robert recently told his hearers
that 1t was possible to weigh a star
against the sun, and one star in the
tail of the Great Bear was equal to
forty of our suns. The stars in the
Great Bear were moving and between
one representation of that cOnstella-
ton and another, which he showed
upon q screen, all interval of 10000
years would pass. The immense dis
tance of the stars was illustrated by q
reference to the nearest star. Alpha
Centauri. Light Travelled at the rate
of 100000 miles a second. and was
eight minutes in reaching the earth
from the sun; but the light from AL
l'ha Centauri was three years OH it's
way to the earth. AS to the other
stars, there were some that would not
yet received a telegraphic message,
could one have been sent, announcing
the battle of Waterloo even bearing
in mind the fact that the electric cur
rent travels at the rate of 28S,000
miles a second. Other stars would not
yet have received the news of the
landing Of William the Conquerer in
1866, and some would not even have
received the glad tiding of the first
Christmas in Bethlehem, 1892 years
ago. Sir Robert Ball went on to ex-
plain how sensitive plates could see, so
to speak, thousands of stars gave some
telescope could reveal, and gave some
remarkable instances of the power of
the Photographic camera to see what
the eye could not discover

Of the best gargles for sore throat and
a preventive of diphtheria if taken in

low furniture: apply with brush and
rub dry. Salt and water held III the
mouth after having tooth pulled will
stop the bleeding. Prints rinsed with
it in the water will hold their color and
look brighter. Two teaspoonfuls in
half a pint of tepid water is an emetic
always on hand. and it is an antidcte
for poisoning from nitrate Of silver. Neu-
ralgia of the feet and limbs can be
cured by bathing night and morning
with salt and water as hot as can be
borne When taken out, rub the feet
briskly with n coarse towel. Salt and
water is one of the best remedies for
sore eyes, and if applied in time will
scatter the inflammation. Silk handker-
chiefs and ribbons should be washed in
salt water, and ironed wet, to obtain
the best results. Food would be iu-
sipid and tasteless without it. Hem
orrhages of the lungs or stomach are
promptly checked by small doses OF
salt.
