dows, on two different streets, and (being
just below the attic) II has an ofnament9l
stairway to the roof, portion Of which is
rallied off for the summer nights. The
price of this model apartment, which is
large. not small. is $500 francs year,
which Is about $50 a month. 1t Is at pres
emit occupied by the American consul gen.
era1.
When you move in Paris you go through
two formalities. Before entering the new
apartment you pay three months rent in
advance. The next thing is to insure your
furniture against the risk Of fire, not only
your own furniture, but the furniture Of
the tenants Immediately above and below
you. But this is nothing. You not only
insure your neighbors' furniture. as we'll as
your own, but you also insure your land
lords property. the house itself; that is.
that portion of it which you occupy. A
French fire insurance policy is. therefore,
three-sided: Suppose you value your fur
niture at 23GOO francs $i,6OO). In La Fon-
ciere," one of the largest companies, this
will cost you eighteen francs annually
($3.6O). The expert who accepted this valua-
ton of the furniture dor it is an actual
ease) decided that $1,000 francs was insur-
arce enough on the apartment itself Qor
the benefit Of the landlord, SO that this
sum was added in, with its annual pre-
MUM of eleven francs, in the proper
column. Thirdly, there Is 10000 francs in
surance for the neighbors, which costs only
four francs annually, the rates varying in
each case. The total is 10000 francs in
surance, with thirty-two francs premiums
to pay annually.
The reason for the insurance of your
neighbors' furniture and your landlords
interest in his own real estate is to prevent
the parties claiming damages from you In
case of a fire originating in your apart
ment. But 1t Is to be noted that while you
pay insurance on your neighbors' furniture
they are also paying insurance on your
own. Suppose you inhabit the third floor
You insure the people on the second and
fourth floors, the second floor insures you

FRUIT WITHOUT SEEDS,
FRUIT "TTHOCT SEEDS.
Gardeners Trying to Do Away With
Prickles and Appendicitis.

Appendicitis may not be so fashionable
d disease a few years hence as it is now,"
said Assistant Pomologist Taylor to a Star
writer. Gardeners are trying their best
to get rid of seeds in fruits. Already we
have the navel orange, which is nearly
always seedless. Some varieties of ap-
pies have been produced that have almost
no seeds. They are abnormalites. Some
times they are called 'bloomless,' because
the blossoms have no petals, and in some
cases lack stamens. The core is very
small. and commonly there is hollow at
the end opposite the stem. These seedless
apples are generally poor in flavor, being
grown merely as curiosities.
''Raisin producers in California are try
ing to obtain seedless grapes for raisins
The object in view is to get size and seed
lessness in the same fruit. You are famil-
lar with the seedless grapes of Corinth,
which are commonly known as tcurrants.'
The Sultana raisins of southeastern Eu-
rope are likewise seedless grapes. Both of
these varieties are now cultivated in Cali
fornia, but they are small. A prominent
grower in Fresno county is working in this
direction with the Muscat of Alexandria,
which is leading raisin grape in Cali
fcrnia. He selects cuttings from those
vines which produce less than the normal
number of SEEDS. Continuing this process
from year to year, he hopes to reduce the
grapes to absolute seedlessness eventually
1t is believed that the seedlessness of the
Corinth and Sultana grapes was obtained
by similar means.
1.-THE banana is seedless, and has been so
for centuries, though nobody knows why.
1t is propagated by suckers, and possibly it
had no seeds when it was first found in the
wild state. The banana is modified ber-
ry. Cutting the fruit down through the mid
die, you will sometimes see few little
brown SDOtS, which are rudimentary seeds
Occasionally the banana does actually pro-
duce seeds. The pineapple is nearly seed
less, being propagated likewise from suck
ers and from Slips The eggplant, which
is fruit botanically speaking, is occasion
ally seedless. This plant is able to produce
developed fruit, whether the blossoms are
fortified or not.
"HorticulturistS are endeavoring at the
same time to rid fruit plants of thorns.
Some oranges and lemons are very thorny-
for example, the high-priced King orange,
which is the best of the mandarins. 1t is
rarely seen in this market. The first trees
were brought to the United States from
Cochin China. In Florida its thorniness
has been diminished by selecting buds
from branches with the fewest thorns.
Thorns are Objectionable because they
puncture the oranges or lemons when the
branches are blown about by the wind.
efforts are being made to get rid Of the
thorns on raspberry and blackberry plants,
simply for convenience in picking the fruit.
The thorns are intended by nature to pro-
tect the plants from animals. Cultivators
select those plants which by chance happen
to be thornless or comparatively So"

amount of total insurance on an apartment
is a sum equivalent to fifteen times the an
nual rent. If the insurance taken out be a
less sum "the assured becomes his own in
surer for the proportion existing between
the nominal amount of the policy and IF
teen times the annual rent" no matter
what the actual damages may have been.
1t is all a lottery taking new apartment
in Paris. The concierge, your landlord and
the neighbors are the three elements Of
chance, or, rather, danger. 1t Is under
stood that the concierge is the janitor, hav-
ing surveillance of the street entrance and
the house in general Her power. delegated
to her by the landlord. is great indeed So
much so that it has been decided she Is not
responsible either in damages or -criminally
for opening and reading the tenants let
tiers, which the postman hands her every
morning. But this was mere defect Of
the law, and Is to be rectified. An actual
case, occurring in my own experience, Is
mere to the point. During the late winter
the water pipes were freezing everywhere
One morning the concierge paid visits to
each tenant, telling them to shut the water
off. 1t was an American family on the
third floor, and the mistress of the apart
ment being slightly deaf understood that
the concierge was scolding: She ordered
her out of the apartment. The concierge
commenced a process verbal against her,
which is not yet finished. A process verbal
is a lawsuit.
The tenants on the floors above and below
you may also make themselves disagreea-
BILE. During the late rigorous winter a very
sweet young American girl, having her
hands and feet chilblained in her bed de-
sired her father to have put up stove in
her room, in order to save her life. 1t was
done, it drew beautifully, and everyone
was pleased. Only the tenants on the floor
beneath objected. A letter came from the
proprietor of the house: You are hereby
given notice to take out the stove from
your daughters bed room, as the smoke
from it, ascending the chimney, descends
again the chimney of the tenants of the
floor beneath you, causing them great dis
tress and danger" This was pure imagi-
nation and malice. But rather than be in
volved in an unequal struggle of a process,
where the Frenchman always wins and the
foreigner always loses, the stove was taken
out, the coke fire was started up again in
the open CRATE and the poor child could
think of nothing better than to take a
Persian cat (as big as dog to bed with
her each night, for extra warmth.

the general state of Paris residents; but
the beautiful, slippery floor is always there,
carpet. Number one, there is no carpet
cleaning. Rugs are beaten daily out the
windows of the courts.
When you move in Paris there are no
stoves to handle. The joke of the man and
the stovepipe never appears in the illus
trated papers. For that matter none of the
worries of housekeeping afford matter for
the comic man. There is not much clean
ing to a dolls house. You do not handle
stoves. because there are no stoves TO
handle Parisians heat their rooms with
open CRATES. The kitchens have stationary
ovens. Ovens? They are iron machines
built in one corner of the kitchen, fixtures,
taking deal of room. They are something
like what We call kitchen range, except
ing that the only hot water they furnish
is in a trifiing oval cup-the balm marie.
There Is also a large space given to char
coal burning, in shallow compartments
some ranges having four or five of them
The roasting oven is small. But there is
not need for a large one. the French sys-
tenn of cutting up meat being SO different
from our own, In such smaller pieces In
deed, in a vast number of Small-SiZed mid
dle-class families the use of this range is
almost abandoned, the gas stove being all
In all. The gas companies find 1t to their
profit to furnish these gas stoves to con-
sumers free. Burn our gas and we will
lend you stove. The stove is large enough
to hold two pots on top. with roasting
space beneath, the gas flame being above
the roast or steak, and not below 1t. The
gas companies also make a practice of fit
ting in (at cost price, gas heating for your
whole range. Many people take advantage
of this, because the gas is no dearer than
coke or soft coal would be, and because
ell dirt and the particular nuisance of car
rying ashes from, say, the fourth floor to
the cellar every morning. is thus avoided.
AS to other dirt and rubbish, which accu-
mulates naturally in the cellars of private
houses, there is none of 1t in Paris for the
reason that the cellar space available to
each tenant of an apartment house is too
small and the sanitary arrangements of the
police are too exacting. Cellar space (cave)
Is for the storing of coal, wood and wine.
When you move in Paris you are sure
that your new apartment will be clean and
fresh before you enter 1t. To be landlord
Is a profession in itself in the gay capital.
To own an apartment house is to be rich.
