PARIS TO PARISIANS.
IA one knows Less of the First
French City Than It's own
Inhabitants.

See, now, how inconsistent we are.
writes a Frenchman. We accumulate
art treasures, and all the world comes
to Paris to see them, and we Parasians
that live beside them ignore these
treasures completely. We pass years
without going into a museum.
From time to time we read in an
English review that the Cluny has been
enriched by some new object, or we
hear by way of ST. Petersburg that
there is no doubt about the authen-
ITCHY of the crown of Saitephcnnes IN
the Louvre; and this is. the way we
know that we have these things, for we
Parisians that have had the taste to
collect them never go to see them.
Why? Because it is too easy; be-
cause they are not at Amsterdam or
Madrid; because no one has yet
thought to organize in Paris a society
whose programme should be to show
Paris to the Parisians.
We ridicule Cook, that man of
genius. We mock at the strange car
avans of men in casquettes and women
with guide books, that stop before the
Louvre, that wander among the tomb
stones of Pere Lachaise and in the
SALES of Carnavalet. and we are wrong.
Suggest to some capitalist that does
not know how to invest his money the
idea of founding n society whose OBJ
ject shall be to provide Parisians in
iei!igent excursions in Paris.
We should put on white linen cas-
quotes. carry guide books and smoke
pipes in excursion wagons; and after
eight or ten days of this sort of vaca-
tion we should necessarily perceive
that the city we live in is full of beau
ties we have never seen. Relieve me,
there are millions in it.-Boston Globe.

NOW UNDER THE FIFTH VIAL.
Be Smashed After Spain. and
Then Comes q General War.

According to the scheme ofprophecy
adopted by leading Interpreters, the
world is now under the fifth vial,
which is being poured out on the seat
Of the beast.-Rev. 26:10. If SO. we
need not be astonished at still great
er and heavier judgments yet to be
scat upon Spain. For the vial is now
to be drained to it's dregs. says min
lister in the Atlanta (Ga.) Journal.
After the humiliation and over
throw of the Spanish power the next
thing on the, prophetic bulletin board
wil! be the destruction of Turkey, sym
boiiZed by the drying up Of the river
Euphrates. We no more doubt the de-
struction Of Turkey than the shining
of the sun. At the beginning Of the
present struggle many. expressed the
fear of general war, in which all the
nations of Europe would be involved.
The writer took no part in such fear.
and for the reason the time for that
had not yet come. The sixth vial must
first be poured out upon the Euphrates
(Turkey), after which the seventh and
last vial is to be poured out into the
air. Then, and not till then, may we
expect anything like a general war.
In connection with the pouring out
OF the seventh or last vial. is to be the
last Of great earthquake or upheav-
al In the religious world, which is to
usher in the millennium, by which we
are not to understand that everybody
is to be converted, but simply that all
organized opposition to the Gospel will
DE done away with.

On a lonely and picturesque road. riders are
invited to revery. but there are dangers that
threaten the day dreamer awheei. Which are
well TO be remembered when one feels Inclined
TO yield TO the drowsy inspiration OF smooth
roads and quiet. pastoral surroundings. There
are bitches and dogs which await the unWary
and more than one collision has occurred on a
broad road because OF rider being In q semi
trance. A rider should be always awake TO
avert these dangers. but 1t Is possible for a
dreamy rider 20 get into even worse trouble
than a fall into a ditch or a bite from a dog,
This is illustrated by the story told by a local
rider who is inclined TO revery. He has not
been, married many months. About a week
ago he, started with his wife for a forty-mile
ride. When they got we'll out into country
districts and, found side paths, he took
the lead to make pace. He began to muse and
as the dream deepened he lost clear conscious
mile. he spun along without looking behind.
because with a kind OF secondary perceptive-
ness he knew that his wife, was there. The
Ehirr OF her wheel blended with the droninR Of
the insectg and rustlinR Of the leaves. some
times this hum OF the wheel behind was loud
and again II was faint. Suddenly 1t grew louder
and in a moment flashed by him. II was not
