Market Girls of Paris.

Some lovely types of animal beauty
may be found among the dairy, fruit
and salad booths of the great Central
market of Paris. Here is where artists,
sculptures, glass painters and illus
traitors go for national types and ma
tive beauty. The young women are
always bare-headed and brown as nuts,
but they have a cOquetry of their own
that is often irresistible Nothing but
satin could compare with the gloss they
get on their hair. Like Carmen, they
have an eye for cOlors. They wear the
toughest of dresses, but under the aver
age is custOm-made corset. And such
figures, Most Of the collars are turned
in. and the V-shaped corsage, finished
with a poiSe or knot of green, must be
seen to be appreciated. Every motion
is grace, every article-even the tinfoil
loZenge of cheese, the twin artichOkes
of red buttons in their heads, the peach
in green leaf la Venus in her shell
is artistic.-N. y. World.

The Modern Woman.

The woman of to day, as
we hear of her, belongs to a
class for each day in the week,
and has every afternoon and
evening filled up with gay func
ton. She is eager to know
all about politics, to under
stand the great poets and
writer's of the day, especially
those that are counted the
most difficult to comprehend; ;
she wants to belong to socie-
ties that will make the ssworld
better and that will permit her
to talk about them in public,
and yet she desires las well to
keep the position in life to
which she was born. Speak
to her suddenly and see her
start. That means oVertaxed
nerves. Get her to talking to
you about one of her plans
and see how she hushes, no.
tice the unnatural brillancy of
her eyes, and watch the quiz
ering of her lips and her
hands. That woman is on the
verge of nervous prostration.
And why? Because she is per,
hitting herself to be worn Out
to interest people who do not
care in the least for her.-Jan,
uary Ladies Home Journal.

upon its outside all the details of the
earth's geography. At Paris, where
this pigmy world is being exhibited,
an iron and glass dome has been

is eight-sided, and is we'll provided
with elevators and stairways, which
make it an easy task for the visitor to
thoroughly examine all parts Of the

AN EVERYDAY AFFAIR.

How the Passengers on Elevated Trains
Cultivate a FOrgiyimg spirit.
1t was late in the afternoon. Two
loug lines of weary pedestrians were
laturiously moving up the stairs to the
Congress street station, creaking turn
stiles were nabbing impatient and I'M
wary mortalS, and the platform was
crowded The few benches provided
for the accommodation of waiting pas
sengers were more than full. The in
coming train deposited its load on the
east side. and then the gates changed
and the crowds IN AIDE rush from the
wes' side.
There were. Of course. three times as
many passengers as the cars could
seat. The long train of people that
could not find resting place in the
first car FASTENED along the aisle and
boarded the next. What 81" traveller
has not taken part in this hopeless
chase for seat?
1t was the popular home-going hour,
and the seats in the two rear cars were
all occupied. The line of diSconsolate
passengers with long-drawn and anX-
iouS faces continued on its way. In
this line four members were particular
" noticeable for their anxiety to gain
seats. The last carried large, black
gripsacll that bumped against the legs
Of those whom he rushed past. Another
bore an umbrella under his arm. The
man before the latter carried a large
cardboard box. and the one ahead of
him was hurdened with Il basket.
Fate was against them. They ira
versed three cars and not a vacant seat
heels they rushed through the ears,
and lines of disappointment grew deep
er on their long-drawn visageS.
They had stormed through the fourth
car with ever-increasingS speed, and now
plunged into the fifth. Here a crowd
of passengers bound on the same quest
came fastening in their direction.
There was a sudden collision. A hope
less tumble resulted. TO increase the
confusion the train started at that very
moment.
The eager four could not check their
speed. The man with the basket was
thrown back upon his neighbor. The
basket acted as a buffer on the latter,
and he was hurled back upon the one
following him His box of thick card
board caught the victim in the ribs,
making the man give vent to a groan of
pain. The umbrella of this man struck
his pursucr and almost doubled him up,
and the fourth mans gripNacll barked
the shins of the man behind him and
made him grit his teeth in agony.
The faces of the four men turned tC
the right as though they were weather
vaneS in gust.
Beg pardon" said the first man tc
| his neighbour.
Excuse me-" said the second.
Excuse me-" observed the third
with the infection on the pronoun.
"Pardon me, volunteered the fourth
Cert, returned the fifth passenger
| amicably. He was the man with the
barked shins. Chicago Times.

THE GHOST OF A CHANCE.

Is very shadowy affair Ere the chance
of recovery becomes a vanishing ghost,
take Il more potent means Of overcoming
the inactivity of the organs that termi-
mates too frequently in fatal disease,
by resorting to Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, which gives just the requisite i'm
pulse to the renal organs to promote their
vigorous action without exciting them,
an effect too often produced by the fiery
and unmedicated stimulants Of commerce.
Bright's disease, diabetes and inactivity
Of the bladder, are foes Of terrible men,
ace to the system. The inroads may,
however. be stayed IL they are met at the
start and combatted with the bitters.
This fine and genial corrective also reme-
dies malaria, dyspepsia, rheumatism, de-
bility, nervousness, and the infirmitles
incident to age. 1t hastens convalescence
and is promotive of sleep and appetite.

The suggestion made by our cores
pondent. a prominent business man, that
the athletic club organize one or more
military companies. Is about as sensible
one as has been made In a long time.
The reasons why Astoria should have
such an organization are too obvious TO
require mention. Our plank streets and
broad docks present the best possible
fields for drilling and paradlng troops,
and the great o. r. and N. shed would
make an ideal place to improvise an ar
mory and give occasional exhibition drills
and so forth. BY all means let the sug-
gestion be acted on In time for the re-
xatta.
