ShOe-Shining Machine.

Shining your shoes by machinery is
one of the newest schemes of an ingen-
ious inventor. 1t is a bootblacking ma
chine. consisting of an applying brush,
q fluid receptacle, and a backing recep-
tacle, so placed upon stand that by
the movement of a lever the small cir
cular brush takes up the backing and
moistens and distributes it over the
shoe; then the circular brush comes
along and polishes the shoe before you
can say Jack Robinson" This clever
contrivance fills the usual ''longfelt
want for the gentlemen who cleans
his own shoes in the seclusion of his
chamber. but it is doubtful whether it
will be fully appreciated by the timer
ant bootblacs, who wants his five cents
n shine. Notwithstanding all objections,
however, the new bootblacking ma
chine is likely to be in great demand
within a very short time.-House Fur

New and Old Shops of Paris.

The growth OF the Bon Marche and
the Louvre. which has been entirely
effected within the last forty years,
supplies evidence enough that in Paris,
as in London, the tendency of the pc
riod-outside the cOoks-is toward com
prciiensive establishments. where OBJ
iects of many natures can be found nj
low prices under the same roof. Potin,
the universal grocer, supplies even an
example of success, in spite OF the
cooks.
Notwithstanding the competition OF
the new menageries of goods, most OF
the shop windows on the boulevards
and in the Rue de IN PaiX seem to ndi'
cate that the commerce inside is still
PROSPEROUS. Certain sorts of shops
have, it is true, entirely, or almost en-.
tIrely. disappeared, partly from the
general change of ways of life, partly
from the absorption of their business
by larger traders. For instance, be-

naturally anxious to do, but she strong

band prevailed, for the paintings were
remarkable, considering how little
time she could have had for such work.
She never rose, she told us, later than
half-past six in the morning, even in
the winter. There was something
quite delightful about the devotion of
husband and wife towards one another,
and the great pride he took in his
wife's accomplishments. A slight al
fusion was made to our host being
troubled with his throat and voice, and
of his contemplating trying some wa

rated with blue and silver. The pres

that winter, and these particular rooms
were being prepared for the christen-

Frederick the Greats celebrated dining

Of servants, the table going down after

During our stay in Berlin the OPEN
ing of the reichstag took place and we
were fortunate enough to have places
kept for us to witness the interesting
ceremony. We were much disappointed,
however, that neither the emperor nor
Prince bismarck were present. In their
absence the vice president read the en-
peror's speech, but so indistinctly that
we heard but little of it.
We made many friends in the Ger
man capital, dined out good deal,
and met interesting and distinguished
people. The day before we left we
went to call on Princess Bismarck. who

their children, with the rest Of the

with the diplomatic corps. The crown

and interesting. During our stay we
were presented in private audience to
the old Empress Augusta, who received
us most graciously. She talked of Eng

about Russia, carefully avoiding any
political illusion, saying that he knew
the country more as a sportsman than
