modern Paris Unspeal,abIy Lovely.

''In the Latin Quarter and in the
Faubourg st. German winding streets,
dingy old houses, narrow footways
and finely carved portals and case
mentg give a hint of what old Paris
must have been," writes a traveller,
from Paris, to the Ladies Home Jour
nal. "Old Paris may have had its
attractions, but modern Paris is un-
speakably lovely. The French are
essentially classical in their taste, and
love order and form, and straight,
strong lines. No Queen Anne houses,
skyscrapers, nor gingerbread work for
theml The houses are all of gray
stone, all of one height, and every
one of them is almost equally rs fine
as its neighbor. One reason for this
uniformity is that the French mind
cannot endure irritating inequalities;
butts more cogent reason is that when
Louis Napoleon was rebuilding his
capital he wanted everything very
splendid, and so he put such an enor-
nous tax on all buildings that did not
conform to certain standard Of
height and elegance that the builders
found it cheaper to follow the royal
regulations than to pay the tax.

THE ACME OF VANITY.
A Bright Girls Experience with Youth
who is a Type.

A Bright GIrl's Experience with Youth
who is "a Type.
There was a very foolish young
man not long ago, who told the young
woman upon whom he was calling
that he considered he paid her a great
compliment in coming to see her.
"Any man does," said he, modestly.
'"To elect to spend two hours with a
certain person is really subtle bit Of
hattery."
Now the young woman had been
valiantly and vivaciously talking all
evening to avoid either screaming
aloud or going to sleep, and this re-
mark seemed to her the final straw;
therefore, she replied with much as
perity that she was not as grateful
as she should be, she supposed,
owing TO the fact that she considered
it something of compliment on her
part to endeavor to entertain more or
less stupid people when she might be
doing something more profitable.
Whereupon the young man went
his solemn way and never troubled
her again.
There is certain class Of people.

ments in the vain hope that these
will provoke him to retort, but they
never do.
1t is q question among girls whether
such gentlemen are very deep or
very dull, but as women generally
like that what they cannot fathom
there is general belief among the sex
that the silent man is tremendously
brainly and that his broOding silence
covers multitude of brilliant
thoughts.

such a visitor constantly use to ar
range the heads of her discourse be-
fore he came, much as clergyman
might those of his sermon. Then
she would commit the list to memory,
and beginning at the beginning, as
was proper, would gravely talk on
each subject in turn until the end was
reached. A silence would then fall
upon the pair so deep that the youth
would shortly take his departure in
self-defence.

THE BOXER QUESTION sER1OUG
The Latest 10 That the Emperor wanta

RProteCtorato,
Washington, June 1.-THE "boxer"
question continues to absorb the at
Eention of foreign ministers here. The
latest solution of the trouble Is Of
eered by the Chinese emperor.

yesterday, says:
"Weng Tung Ho, Emperor Kwang
Hsus tutor and confident, who was
dismissed by the dowager empress af'
ter coup d'etat in 1885, sends, with
specinal sanction of the emperor and
his party, including three viceroys
a message to the people of the West
In part it is as follows:
"'His majesty is convinced, through
amply trustworthy sources, that the
loyal support of many sourcesof mil,
lions of the Chinese will he accorded
TO his proposals for putting an end to
the state of anarchy brought about
special sanction of the emperor and
""rhe government of China being

proposes that the foreign powers
whose troops dominate the capital
shall remove his imperial person from
the palacein which his majesty is con-
fined a prisoner, shall ldeclare Empress
Hsi Tsi and her present ministers to
be usurpers, and shall bring Emperor
kwang Hsu to Marking, Wuchang or
Shanghai, whichever the said foreign
powers deem to be the most suitable
situation for the new capital OF the
Chinese empire, under the new condi,
Hons.
att is proposed by his majesty and
his advisers that the foreign powers
shall declare joint protectorate and
undertake the task of governing the
country through his majesty.
"The message suggests that the pro-
tectorate should abolish certain boards
In Pekipg; appoint new ministers;
abolish the existing so-caled armies;
establish gendarmerie under foreign
officers; take control of the customs,
posts and telegraphs and work them
through Chinese officials; establish a
uniform currency; readjust taxatinon
