pleteiy. There is great choice offered to
customers, and customers are allowed to
exchange goods purchased fII-advfsedIy or
hurriedly-a iberality which is quite out
side the business ideas Of the small Paris
tradesman. The power Of purchasing many
different things under one roof, without
running here and there across the city, is
Also vast economy of time and money
On their side. these establishments can az
ford to sell cheaply because their general
expenses are so reduced by being Jumped
together. This has even been brought up In
politics as a reason why they should be
taxed more than the smaller shops, in pro-
portion. whose proprietors are regularly for
hidden by their leases to handle anything
but their own special line of m erehandise.
Sliding Price Scale.
Whatever may be said of all this, 1t is
certain that the big shops have revolu-
ttonfzed all the habits of buying and SELL
ing in France. Up to 1880 everything went
by barter, and there was no fixed price.
Traces of this practice are still found in the
small shops around Paris, where the price
first asked has very little to do with what
will be accepted. II you are evidently a
foreigner, and especially If you are accom-
panied by man who looks like a commits
sionaire, or a guide, or a lady of the land OF
France. whose sharp and hungry looks pro-
clsims her to be on the make while showing
you about. the prices charged viii be higher
than IL you were alone. This is the Paris
shopkeeper's way of recovering the COM
mission which he expects your companion
to come back and collect when You are
safely out of the way. 1t Is a regular meth
cd of the small Paris shops to mark up the
price of articles which remain long on their
hands. as IL were, to recover interest on the
capital invested This is called "gueIt" ing.

each department has its damaged or im per-
feet or worn goods, on whose adroit sale

Into France the ''one-price system"
This was begun n little before 1880 by La

others. 1t Is still in the hands of the fam

commerce. Belle Jardiniere" means the

will get into the harness before many years
and make a whole team. Now that they
have their own land they realize more fully
that their living must come from it, that
their eating will be in proportion to their
work. If it was reversed and their work
was in proportion to their eating 1t would
be immense" Besides these inducements,

Sold to the Government.
The New York Indians are taking up
agriculture NOW, having been through a
farming experience. The st. Regis Indians,
about 2,OOQ in number, derive revenue OF
$4,000 a year from the sale of Indian bas-
kets. The Indians at the Neah Bay agency
In Washington devote themselves entirely to
1sllng, and make $4,000 by that work.
But, as rule, the chief revenue % the In
dian tribes is derived from the sale of iUm-
Der and agricultural products and from
freighting. Much Of their produce is sold to
the government. The Sioux Indians OF
South Dakota sell more than 100000 worth
of wheat, corn, oats and barley to the gov
eminent in year: the Sioux of North
Dakota sell $4,000 worth to The govern
ment This is in addition to the 10000
worth of produce sold to outsiders. The
MoJave Yuma and Apache Indians at the
San Carlos agency in Arizona sell 10000
worth of goods, chiefly agricultural, to the
government, and $4,000 worth to outsiders.
Other work is found for the Indians in the
making of roads (of which they will make
25O miles in year,, the running Of saw
mills and -four Mills and the erection CT
agency buildings. But the occupation in
which the industrial salvation Of tie Indian
Is to be found is agriculture: and to foster
development in this direction the govern
lnent Is assisting to irrfgate the Indian
lands and is issuing moving machines and
other implements which will help the Indian
TO be farmer instead Of a loafer.

THE WAY TO REST.
A Change of Occupation is the Very
best Sort of Reposc.

n ChanEe OF Occupation is the very
Best Sort of Reposc.
From the New York Times
Rest is change, not idleness When men
quit work and start to do nothing thew
either get into mischief or go daft. The
summer resorts are filled with miserable
women who do nothing but sit around dress
up, eat and sleep. They get no sympathy
but deserve a great deal. To map out a
plan of resting is as difficult as to arrange
a summer menu-it is all a matter of in
dividuality; the cook calls it taste, and the
physician temperament. A small boy will
go off with his dog, lie in the grass and be as
happy as harlequin; his father will sit on
the string piece or the nearest pier and fish
or smoke himself into a mellow frame of
mind.
One reason why so few women succeed in
getting rested is because they get too thor
oughy ready. Order Is heavens first law
but 1t Is helpful and wholesome scheme to
drop out of order without any fuss once in
a while. Baking day, ironing day, sweeping
day and kindred days of torture might be
skipped twice month or oftener If the
mercury is cavorting round the head of the
column. Let the family eat crackers and
wear crinkled clothes for a change 1t will
be all the same In hundred years.
There is no rest in rocking chafr-belieye
that, woman. girl! The abomination on
rollers is conducive to round shoulders bad
thfnkfng,i Mysteries, nerves, hollow backs
and dislcSated stomachs. The doctors say
SO, the Delsarte teachers say So and the
proofs speak for themselves
Get on b couch and go to sleep IL you are
tired" Sargent, Savage and the rest Of the
physical trainers say, and when you wake
up do something" The most restful occu-
patton, these athletic physicians agree is
the one thatdeXercises the mind most and
the body least. Mental supremacy is all
conquering. THAT is why book lovers,
dreamers and hobby horse riders have their
own roads to happiness. a love of reading
is one degree lower than the musicians
paradise. THE restfulness to be found in
books-"the only things that live forever
is freXhaustibfe
The late William Walter Phelps speaking
to some German ladies about the various
resources, of dis countrymen, once said that
the Salvation of the men and women he
knew best and admired most was their
fads." He then went on to enumerate the
studies his associates had prosecuted ever
since their college days. the club schemes
of the ladies, and the pleasure profit and
rest he had got out of a German grammar
and work on horticulture Instead Of a
change of physical action he advocated
novelties for the mind.
Sit not idly resting, saith the psalmfst
Women think they think, whereas the mind
often consumes itself brooding grieving
fretting over petty troubles TO this in
sidious habit needle work lends its baneful
influence. When 1t is too hot to be diligent
find rest in being desultory.

Until then, the great shops certainly rep
resent the use of capital pushed to It's ex-
IRENE. French politicians have worried
their heads about the matter, and the par
lament has quarreied about the special
taxes to be imposed on these big shops
which eat up the little ones.
The great objection against these grands
masasins, according to Cucheval- Clarisny.
. member Of the Institute Of France, Is that
they embrace at one and the same time so
many branches OF commerce that they ex-
tend their business operations beyond all
bounds. and make life impossible to the lit

The Origin of Forest Fires.

an interesting suggestion about the origin
in forest fires. IAN this talk" he says,
about passing through the tail of Biela'

Il have seen forest fires. though never
one so terrible as this last one In the north
west. Let ms give you a plausible theory
to explain those sheets Of fame. balls Of
fire. and explosions In the air away from
any inflammable material.
Those pine forests contain a vast guam
tfty Of turpentfne, resinous gums and VIOLA
tile oils. The intense heat distills those oils
-volatilizes them. The want of oxygen
prevents immediate explosion. and they are
carried by the cyclone in advance of the
fire. and explode as soon as they get suffl-
Client oxygen. As they explode they light
new fires. new gases are produced. and the

inforced by showers Of sparks and burning
brands, and the hell-like holocaust proceeds

HOW WE WALK.
The Muscles Used and the Mechanical
Work They Do.


From the London Hospital.
The chief muscles concerned in walking
are these in the calf and back of leg,
which, by pulling up the heel, also pull up
the bones Of the foot connected with it.
and then the whole body, the weight of
which is passed on through the bones of
the leg. When walking, the trunk is thrown
forward so that it would fall down pros
trate were not the right foot planted in
time to support 1t. The calf muscles are
helped in this action by those on the front
Of the trunk and legs, which contract and
pull the body forward. and the trunk slant
ing forward when the heel Is raised by the
calf muscles, the whole body will be raised
and pushed forward and upward. This adj
yancement Of each leg is effected partly by
muscular action, the muscles used being "a
those on the front Of the thigh. bending 1t
forward on the pelvis; 2) the hamstring
muscles, which slightly bend the leg on the
thigh; 90 the muscles on the front Of the
leg, which raise the front Of the foot and
toes, preventing the latter, in swinging for
ward, from hitching in the ground.
When one foot has reached the ground
the action Of the other has Tot ceased.
There Is another point in walking. The
body Is constantly supported and balanced
on each leg alternately. and, therefore, on
some means for throwing the center Of
gravity over the line of support formed by
the boEes of each leg. as 1t supports the
weight of the body. This is done in vari-
GUS ways, and hence the difference in the
walk of different people. There may be
slight rotation at the hip joint bringing the
center Of gravity Of the body over the foot
Of this side. This rocking motion of the
trunk and thigh is accompanied by a move
ment of the whole trunk and leg over the
foot planted on the ground, and is accom-
panied by a compensating outward move
ment at the hip. The body rises and swings
alternately from one side to the other as
Its center of gravity comes alternately over
one or the other leg, and the curvature Of
the spinal bones is altered with the varying
position Of the weight
