No meat is allowed to be sold in Paris to
| the retailers without first having the seal of
a government inspector placed upon it, says
the New York Mail and Express. All slaugh-
terlng IS done under the Otlcial eve. The
| main ahattolr Is IN the city surrounded by
masses OF buildings, but Is so admirably kept
| that no bad OdOr is perceptible from either
| the live stock market sheds or adjacent
slaughter pens. Inquiries brought out the
| IA that fully 2OOO0 horses mules and don
! keys are annually slaughtered for the Paris
market This curious statement seemed so
| incredible that further and more particular
| investigations were made. and two OF the re-
| tail markets whore his kind of meat is eX-
| cluslvely sold were visited. The visitor was
| received cOurteOuSly at both places and in
| formation freely given on all points except as
| 10 the cost ito them OF the meat. All three
| kinds were on the hooks and each labeled
| with brass or copper label in large letters
| TO SHOW what It was. To aid any American
| SOJOurner in Paris who NAV wish to try
| mule steak for breakfast, and in
| acknowledgment for the courtesy shown
| us a little free advertisement would seem
| not to &c out Of place. N. Tremerel, 12I line
! dc la Roquette said that he had been selling
! horse meat from this same stand for twenty
| seven years. In response TO remark as to
| the fine fat appearance of the meat displayed,
| showing two myers wild b OF fat on the rib,
| the old gentleman said that he frequently had
! it three finger $ thickness" or in other
words with more than two inches Of fat. The
| other market, Emile Provost. 81 Rue de la
| ROluette had full variety. horse, mule and
| donkey meats and sausages from each or all
| three combined. At each place customers
| were purchasing and paying their money,
! coming and going without seeming to think
! their purchases were OF a kind to attract un-
| usual attention. he inquiries brought out
the facts as to the very high prices Of meat
| In Paris. A choice leefSteak costs 30 cents
| per pound: an ordinary cut 30 cents. A Choiee
cut OF horse, donkey or mule steak costs %
| cents per pound while the ordinary cuts run
| to 10 cents, SO that after all 1t is cheapneSs,
not taste, that impels or compels people to
buy these varieties OF animal food.
When we think reverently and admiringly

Bazaar, and Of all the dangers he dared and

Of his mouth to a set Of teeth manufactured

one almost longs TO see nature repla ed and

the beautiful delicacy and regularity of the
modern artificial tooth in general. a much
better effect Is obtained when the teeth are
not so perfect, and each SO exactly like its
typical prototype. A little gold filling here a
very slight shortening there, a tn gap. a
hint Of overlapping, an atom or two of IN
| evenness at the end. all help more in the vrai-
sembance than matched and precise perfect
ness does. This, however, is more useful than
for the vraisembance in giving individuality
to the mouth. All and each OF these little Pc
Culiarities seem to express some ldioSynl rlcy
of the person possessing them; they are like
arrestinE and retaining points to the memory
or the imagination. And provided they be
not too intrusive. and the teeth are suffi-

do not at all interfere with the charm OF

is with difficulty, indeed. that any healthy
teeth unless they are set in ugly and pro ect-

and life of the coun' enance. A man whose
beard largely hides his teeth can even meet
this difficulty, and is never at the disadvant-
age so far as teeth are spoken of that a
