 My process, yon know, is to take a fact of real life which l have observed and relate it; it should bear in itself it's moral and it's teaching. The book which I am preparing, sLe Soutien de Famille, opens with the letter, exactly which was written me by poor fellow bequeath- ing to me the care of his children, before he went to throw himself into the canal. My novel is the story of the eldest child, who was obliged to support the others, and who, apparently, bore the entire re- sponsibility of the family. Everyone e,tme to his aid; at home he was fa- vored; they carried him his chocolate in bed, and out in the world everyone pro- tected him. He had only to let himself breathe, while beside him the little Cinderella of the house struggled inces- sanity and devoted herself in obscurity to the big brother, who had all tl,e glory.

LITTLE WAITS OF PARIS.
GArTEAIRE.

The City Takes Care of 5000 ParentIess
 and Homeless Youngsters Every Year.
 The city of Paris is mother to 36,372 children, ranging from one day to q years in age, and they cost her 5000 GOO francs a year to maintain. Many os these children are illegitimate, and most of them have either been abandoned by their parents or they have been taken from them by the state, owing to their parents having been convicted of some crime.
 Year in and year out the number Of these children whom the city gathers under her wing is about 5000 In 1894 for instance, the number was 4,S7S. Of these 57S were "enfants trouves" Gound lings), 4,104 had been abandoned, ard but 449 were actually orphans.
 There are some curious statistics as to the strange ways in which these chil- dren abandoned by their parents have been cast into the city's lap. Two hun- dred and fifty-three were found in the street, ignorant of their parents name; Ii had been placed in the temporary care of strangers by means of some ruse. Of those almost newly born g were found in inhabited houses, iii churches, 29 in the street, 9 in a pub lie garden, 1 in carriage and in a wagon.
 Another curious thing is that the number of foundlings has increased in 10 years nearly per cent. from 49t to 6.66 per 100; while the number of those abandoned has diminished, fail- ing from S907 to S4.13.
 The city of Paris puts these children out to nurse in the provinces, and from their earliest days until they reach their majority they are subject to reg. ular inspections by members of the eonsen general The condition of tue children is more or less happy, accord ing to the temperament and fortune of their foster mothers. In Auxeree the nursing of these children of Paris has developed into thriving busi- ness, for the city pays a fixed sum for the support of each.-N. Y. World.

SOMETHING ABOUT PRINTING.

Some Guriosifies About the Art Preserva-
 tive of All Arts.
 China, the "cradle Of the arts, claims the honor of the invention of printing. Away back in the year 593, nearly 1,00e before Gutenberg issued the first vol ame Of his famous Bible. the Chinese were using the .'block system of print ing, and in the tenth century, 400 years before Europe had become acquainted with the art preservative,' the al- mond-eyed celestial typos were better Yersed in the science of setting movable types than were the American printers Gf the days of Benjamin Franklin. The "block system of printing, which was so well known in the fowery king dom less than six centuries after the birth of Christ, did not find it's way to Europe until about the first of the 10th century. when devotional man. uals," each bearing a portrait and few lines in printing, became popular These cuts and printed lines were taken from engravings made on single block. the very earliest-dated specimen of that character made in Europe bear ing date of 1423
 There is still question as to who was the first European printer to use the movable types It is not d question IS to what European invented movable types, for it is known that the honor belongs to the far east. The honor of being the first to adopt the system anDaarc fO rect hatxNaaJ, TatIro,,1 Zoe Ser, of Haarlem (died 144O), John Faust and John Gutenberg. In the above list some include the name of Ieter Schoff 1T, a son-in-law of Faust Dutch au- thorities claim that Coster was the first to use the movable types, and that workman in Coster's shop, stole the idea from him. The Germans give Gutenberg the honor and set the date of his first successful practice of the art at 1436. The first entire European book aver printed from movable types bears the name of Johann Faust on it's title page. It bore the name of "Tractatus Petri Hispani" and vas printed at Aentz in 1442. As Gutenberg did not put his name on all of his books or the date when they were issued there s some doubt when tine first appeared or how many were issued.

ENGLAND SHORT OF SAILORS.
In Case of War Two Hundred ships Could
 Not Be Manned.

Look at the plain facts of the case. Parliament provides for about 52,O0J seamen and petty officers, excluding officers. boys and marines. Now it is calculated that if we commissioned all our existing battleships we should ab sorb the whole of these 52, 900 men ex- 6ept 2000. That is, we should have l2,000 men to man over 300 cruisers. gunboats, tofpedo-destroyer and all the other craft on which we have spent so much money in building. But the cruisers take quite as many men as the battleships and are quite as impor. tant. The idea of 12,000 men to man them alone is utterly ridiculous. We might with the aid of the reserve, just manage to man some 30 of them and about TO gunboats and torpedo de- stroyers. That done, we should have the pleasure of seeing some 200 vessels lying idle and useless in our ports.
 monuments of our futility and want of common sense. This is what would happen as things are now. If we add half dozen more battleships and ten more cruisers, and 30 or 40 more small CT craft, without adding more men, we shall simply be increasing the block of useless ships in our dock yards should war be declared.
 That this is no wild or sensational talk may be shown by reference to t single fact. When our fleet was mo bilized last year, our harbors were full of ships that might have gone to sea, but could not, because there were no men to put on them Practically we had used up all our men, and stlll had dozens of good ships left over - O. ships, that is, good for service in every way, and not mere survivals from early days. But even this does not disclose the whole weakness of our navy i'll the matter of men. Even if we had enogh men to man all our ships, and we put them on the sea in ease of war, we should not be in proper position. be cause we should have no reserve. Con- tidering the loss of men, not only in action, but by disease and ordinary causes, you must, unless } our war is going to be merely a siX-weelIs' picnic, look forward to your crews gradually shrinking and wasting away. But that shrinking means the need for renewal. and the need for renewal means a force from which renewal can take place. In other words, a reserve for filling up the gaps is absolutely necessary, and that reserve must be of large di- mensions. Ii is no good as at present to have a few thousand men called the reserve which are not a reserve, for the very good reason that we would have, directly war was declared, to be called up and used in the first fighting line. \ reserve is a reservoir on which you can draw when your first can gets empty, not merely little extra buck et which has to be used to fill Up the can directly you need it.
