Paris Uses Lots of Ice.

From the New York World.
Among the first of the many curious
things that impress the American summer
visitor to Paris is the way the French have
of doing out ice as II It were diamonds,
and the horror which Parisans profess
for the American custom of icing their
drinks and thereby lmpairing their diges-
tons. Notwithstanding all this the con-
sumption of ice in Paris, especially for do
nestle uses, has increased rapidly during
the past few years, and If it continues at
the same rate 1t will not be long before 1t
surpasses that of New York The last
twelve months show a total consumption Of
over 1100OO,O00 pounds.

People Who Look Over Houses.

From Pearson's Weekly.
MY duty is to show intending tenants
over the houses to let which appear on
our books" said a man employed by one
of the great firms of land and house agents
in London. "It might surprise you to
knew that some people have a perfect
craze for looking over houses, though they
ere comfortably housed enough already.
and have no immediate intention of re-
moving. I have shown the same couple
middle-aged folks, with nothing to do ap-
parently-over scores of houses, from cot
tages to mansions.
"And as for 'faddy' people-well. ON
afraid that the ladies are. in general, the
hardest to please; but, then, you see, the
whole responsibility is mostly left to them.
Some Of them find that every house they
look at has some serious drawback, and
they will keep me for hours at time
while they peer about. AS a general prin-
ciple, the ladies want a bigger and finer
house than they can afford. Often enough
the gentleman who accompanies them
never says a word. but Tolls about and
smokes listlessly."

 ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE BEEJ
 Mrs Grant has not as yet selected a permanent home in this city. IL was thought that her plans for the winter provided for residence in this city, but it seems that she was unable to decide upon house. Her daughter, Mrs Sar- toris, better known as Nellie Grant, is, however, living here in cosy little Louse and is taking an active part in social matters. At one time it was proposed to present Mrs Grant with home in this city as was done in the case of Mrs Sheri- dan, Mrs Hancock, and Mrs Logan. The widows of these distinguished men have received substantial tokens of the regard in which their husbands were held. In addition they enjoyed good deal of social attention.
