IT COSTS HIGH.
But Few Of Us Live In Paris or Ever
 Will.

But Few Of Us Live In Paris or Ever
 Will.
 There are Tn Paris at least three prizes for everything that the market offers, and it may be reekoned as certainty that, while the Frenchman will pay the smallest of these prices and the English or German visitor the second, the Amer ican will pay the third when he buys
 There are even three prices on the o1n- nibus, and so you will sometimes see the top of one of these vehicles crowded till it looks like Fort Lee excursion boat, the little standing room at the rear packed with people. and the inside ab- solutely empty. It is because of this system of three prices that 1t is by no means an easy matter to estimate the cost of living in the French capital, but I got up carly one morning and spent two or three hours in the great markets that Zola has described with so much force, and IS l went with my landlord, who is q shrewd and thrifty son Of France. and noticed the prices that he paid for what he got, 1 think that am in position to quote what are called in commercial circles bottom figures' on the eatables that we priced there
 Horse sausages are in constant de- mand, and 1 saw a cows uddef cut into horrible slices and exposed for sale Outside the market old women stirred great caldrons of thick, saeory soup, which they sold at 2 cents q plate, and in the wineshops drinks of wine or brandy could be had for from to s cents each, according to size and quality
 Concerning rents i'll Paris and it's suburbs, 1 was told by Mr. Boyd Neel, one of the principal agents in the town. that an apartment capable of holding in comfortable style two or three people could be had ill Paris in a respectable neighborheed for from $50 to $600 a year, but in swell localities like the Vhamps Elysees or the Avenue Bois de Boulogne there Is no limit to the prices thSt the landlords will ask. For exam plS. an apartment i'll a new house with an elevator will cost from $3. GOO to So, GOO, and, as to furnished flats ill the fashionable districts. they contribute largely to the paying off of the national debt
 Of foourse the systemof tipping which is obligatory here adds materially 10 the cost of living, but a great deal can be saved under this head by learning tho amounts given by the French people themselves for the natives have reduced it to fine point and know exactly, to centime how much or rather how little, may Do offered with safety.
 It IS in the matter of anuse ments that tho American sojournor ir Paris manages to get square with the game. Thero is so much to be seen for pothing. SO many monuments and art galleries and places of historic interest. to say nothing of all that goes on eyerI day in the open streets and cafes, that one does not need to go to tho thcators or operas to be amused --Janes l., Ford in New York Journal
