the city have several names, none of which

Long before the Wholesale houses and

The walters go to their homes for lttlc

PARIS OMNleUSES.
A System That Gives Every Passenger
Comfortable Seat.


On all the streets Of Paris one of the
features most noticeable to foreigner
perhaps is the ldle omnibus stations so
characteristic of Paris. The Partisan
omnibus system, by the way, is an excel
lent one when YOU understand it. But
you usually have TO lie put off bus two
or three times before you appreciate its
merits. In time you discover that the
vehicles stop regularly ut little stations,
where those who understand the system
obtain bits Of pastebourd bearing numbers
in the precise order of the application for
them, emitting them in the same order to
the vacant seats i'm the buses ms they ar
rive. These little stations being not far
apart, it is II matter of no difficulty to OBJ
tain these numbers, and when that is done
the system secures, as you see, perfect
application of the rule first come first
served. For when the bus stops just
opposite the little station, an official comes
out, and standing behind it he calls oil
the numbers in their order, and the would
be passengers, as their numbers are called,
take the vacant places. When all the va.
cancies are filed the bus drives on, ana
those whose numbers come next in order
have, of course, the first chance at the va
cancies on the filling bus
And now let me mention another fea-
ture of this omnibus system which think
Is worthy of our notice. Each omnibus
and each street car in Paris-for the street
car system is practically the same-is bulit
to seat-not to carry, mind you, but 10
seat-a certain number of persons. lhat
number is indicated upon the exterior OF
the vehicle, and when it is complete no
moro are permitted TO enter under any CIR
cumstances Our glorious American sys.
tenn, therefore, of riding on "a strap or OF
getting one foot on the back platform Oh

tunate individual who has preceded US
and has both feet on is wholly unknown

Economy.

Rave at fashion and preach economy il
you will. 1t is all the better for the world
that rich people should spend their money
layishly, instead of boarding it. Every
founce on the skirt of that glittering belle,
ridiculous as it may be from an artistic
point of view, helps to make some dress
makers assistant more certain of her
weeks work. Everything she cannot
possibly live without" though it be a
gewgaw suitable for a squaw, makes it so
much more certain that every shopkeeper
in the land shall prosper.
20, when her father, scorning the red
brick mansion in which his parents took
delight, spends year or so in celebrating
a palace Of white marble, he finds work for
80 many score Of laborers who else might
starye or 90 20 the poorhouse. So that fin
cry is paid for, so that one only "buys for
cash, there is more good than harm in
the long run in what seems like extrava-
gance. An unpaid debt is a theft, and u
theft is q crime. but honest purchases which
do not first on last bring this about, and
looking at the good done 20 the masses and
not at one individual bank account, can
not be called extravaganza A miser does
more harm 10 lis fellow men than a spend
thrift, and the only alarming point in the
present universal show and glitter Is that
unlucky people with inadequate purses
may seek TO take part in it at the cx-
pense Of trustful tradesmen.
If only the rich become extravagant, we
say hurrah, and 90 ahead, even if you do
not leave 81, 200, 600 or so to poorhouse
when you die. Your cook and coachman
and Tailor and jeweler, your wife's dress
maker, and all the host Of working folk
paid TO minister to your farreaching
whims, have 10 need of one. New York
