PARIS DISCREPANCIES.
There Are Enough Of Them to Form q
 Good Sized Town.


 Paris is the city where the Gressr,;.h- ing trade fourisnes as it Gc2s in !lo other spot i'll the world. h 1853: the number of couturie1es, as given ;s. ;ih Annuaire du Commerce, 1la cor;1nei- cial directory of those days, was on;y l56. There were besides G1 s,l02s for the sale of ready-maG2 fcIi!li ne i, ar el, but there were none, as there a-'e to-day, which sold lingerie or certain articles exclusively.
 In the Bottin (as the Paris direc- tory is familiarly known) of 1895 there are 1886 couturieres and 296 coInr1e1- cial houses for the sale Of rcativ-fraGe garments, besides many establish ments which manufacture and sel! iupons de desous or undcr-Petticoat5 5 alone. The number of working dress makers in Paris is estimated at d5,000. In all France, according to N. Georges Michel, the industry of manu- featuring the various articles of wom- ans dress is in the hands of 81 .490 male and 143,6 ,645 female owners of shofs or factories. These furnish employment to 700,S01 persons. of whom over 5G3,- 900 are women.
 In addition to these there are 925, ,SS55 SS55 persons who make their living from in dustries which are tributary to that of the manufacture of fctnirinc anaar- el. The total value of the product Of | this labor from so many hands is esti- mated at G5O,OOO.OOO.

BEDROCK AT THE BUTTES.
It Is Found Entirely Across the Canyon
 at Sixty-Five Feet.

Florence Tribune: The most cheer ing news that Florence has received in a year was brought into town yester- day by John Ruckelhausen, who has been employed by the United States geological survey in sounding for bed rock at the Buttes. The depth to bed rock has been the great bugaboo of the reservoir site, the croakers predicting that it could not be found much near CT than the center of the earth; but it has been found, and at comparatively shallow depth. The point selected was what is known in McGinnis' report as dam No. 2, where the rock walls of the box canyon are only 22O feet apart. The first sounding was made near the west wall, and bedrock was struck at a depth of thirty-four feet; five other soundings were made forty feet apart, and the distances to bedrock were found to be as follows: Sixty-three, sixty-one, sixty-four,, fifty-six, and forty-nine feet, leaving off the odd inches. This settles the problem as one of the most feasible storage propo- sitions on the continent, considering the large body of water to be stored and the amount of arabic land under it. Not the least important feature of the site is that short tunnel can be driven just above the south butte, which will carry off the water in the river while the masonry is being laid. Stone of the best quality is close at hand, which can be handled in any di- mansions required with derricks and cables. Where nature has done so much, it seems that man should do a little.

''Shure, mann, what's the manin' of the 'ritin' on the bottom of this?" asked the maid, referring to the inscription on the statuary. "'Kismet' !" means Fate ' replied the mistress. Bridget was limping painfully when she was walk ing with Pat not long afterward, and he asked: 'Phwat's the matter, Brid- get?" Faith" was her answer, ''I have the most terrible pains on me kes- metl"
