Beware of Paris Water.



Numberless warnings have been ad-
dressed to those people who intend to put
their national pride in their pocket this
year, and go to the Paris Exposition. They
have been told that the city swarms with
sharpers and thieves of every description,
who are only waiting an opportunity TO
rob them, and that even the walters have
entered into a nefarious league to pass
bad money on them. But these things are
all directed against the purse; there is
another and worse danger to be Stunned
and that is Paris water. The citizens of
Paris have long been exercised over their
water supply, and many suggestions for
tapping new sources have been discussed.
but few have, so far, been carried out. The
summer is coming on, the exposition is at"
world, and yet the Conscript Fathers of
Paris are stin talking over what is to he
done. Every summer the water supply
runs short and those unfortunates who
have To remain in Paris in the dog days
have to undergo all sorts of privations.
Moreover In addition to fear of scarcity.
there is the far worse fear of typhoid, for
none of the water is absolutely above re-
proach, and there has been an epidemic
of typhoid in the city all the winter. II
a serious outbreak should occur when
Paris is crammed with all sorts of strange
nationaIities, the consequences might be
most serious, AS 1t is. the authorities are
already advising that all water should
be boiled, so those who, In spite OF every
thing, decide to go to Paris, will know
what to expect.

A sNow-wHITE DEER.
Another Geological Attraction for
Golden Gate Park Visitors.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The cool winds from the ocean yester-
day caused a marked falling-off in the at
tendance of pleasure-seekers at Golden
Gate Park and the beach.
Park Commissioner Lloyd was out sad
dleriding over the hills and slopes looking
for site where grove of poplars may
be planted with cathedral effects. The
strong winds that at times sweep through
the pleasure resort are such as to cause
the poplars to bend before them and re-
main bent, thereby preventing the desired
effect. For this reason a protected site
is desired
The geological features of the park are
attracting the special attention of the COM
missioners at this time The buffalo have
thrived so that from beginning of three
bison there are now fourteen in the two
paddocks. Buffaloes are quoted at 1000
apiece in New York, and ii has been sug-
gested that six of these in the park might
be sold and the money devoted to secur-
ing other natural history exhibits. The
original occupants of the buffalo paddocks
cost the city $3.50 each. Three black
swans are setting, and a snow-white deer,
recently purchased in Sacramento, will
soon be an additional attraction Of the
deer glen.
Residents in the vicinity Of the park al
Scott and Steiner streets which the city
recently turned over to the park commits
sioners, have sent a communication to the
latter body offering to raise and contrib
ute 81, 600 toward retaining and beauti-
flying the square, If the commissioners will
do the rest. Supt. McLaren will investi
gate and report as to the cost of the de-
sired Improvements at the next meeting
of the commissioners.

Consul Ragsdale writes from Tien-Tsin
that 1.-THE methods are from house-to-
house collection. The work IS done by pri-
vate enterprise and the material deposit
ed in vacant lots and in front of houses
where the owners do not employ the col

natives and are a regular article of com
merce. When beyond use as bucket
they are fiattened out and made into any
thing from a candlest,ck to a bathtub-
the latter being used only for foreigners.
Broken glass is collected by private en-
terprise, and the sorting is done in any
place most convenient to the collector.
Household waste waters are thrown into
the empty poo S al the side Of the streets
and eventually this water is used for
street sprinkling. The streets and the
passers-by are sprinl1led by means # long

by men and boys with a basket and a
small long-handled ladle or shovel. The
basket hangs on the back from the left
shoulder and great skill is shown by some
collectors in scooping up everything and
throwing it into the basket without loss.
This material is taken to some bright,
sunny and convenient locality, mixed with
two parts of street dust and made into
cakes the size of an orange. These cakes
are sun-dried and sold as fertilizers.
THE most convenient place for for

street. IT is only a few hundred yards
from the two foreign hotels and The
French, German, Japanese, English, Rus
sian and American legations. ME bridge,
being thus centrally located with a wind
swept stone floor exposed to the sun, pos
sesses all of the requirements of n first
class fertilizer dryer. 1t is in daily use.

a combined system. Everything combines
in the streets. No filters are used. The
supply of street sweeping exceeds the de-
mand by about three inches in depsh."

SPECIAL NOTICES.
PAULDING OF LONG ISLAND CELE.
DRAFTED PIPPIN APPLE CIDER.

This pure cider is served on steamers on
the American line, and at the Waldorf-As
toria and leading family grocers in New
York city.
Paulding's Pippin cider is made from
the pure juice of hand picked apples from
his own mill ON the premises. 1t is abso-
lutely pure apple juice, and all the effer-
vescence is natural. and we guarantee il
to be the choicest cider in the world.
Leading physicians in New York and
Brooklyn recommend this cider to their
patients, IT'S perfect purity is guaranteed
In Paulding's Pippin cider. only Long Is
land Newtons Pippins are used. The APP
pies are left on the trees until late in Oc-
tober when they are hand picked and
placed in a dry room to ripen.
Paulding says "the apples are thorough
ly crushed in his own mill and the juice
pressed out and run into sweet clean
casks" The difference between crushing
and grinding apples is very great.
You will know the difference between
crushed apes and ground apples IL you
take some stems and chew them, you will
find that bitter taste which is not with
Paulding's crushed apples. This cider has
not the extreme sweetness of the Russell
cider. and everyone will find the Pauld-
'ug's Pippin cider just right to take with
dinner. Lippman Bros,

sHREWD CUSTOM HOUSE RATS.
Their Abode in the Only Room From
Which Federal building Cats Are
Excluded
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
1t was not so very long ago that there
were certain officials connected with the
local custom house who expressed the
opinion that they were wiser than the
rats which infest the building. They have
had reason lately TO change their minds,
for certain things have come up which
have demonstrated to the custom house
officials that the rodents in the postoffice
building are the craftiest on record, and
that their ingenuity in devising and car
rying out plans of mischief is nothing
short Of satanic.
The officials who were fond of deluding
themselves with the idea that it took
more than horde OF rats to get the bet
ter of them, introduced the cat system
OF rat catching in the postofiice with good
results. The rodents disappeared from
their accustomed haunts in the building
and were replaced by three cats, each a
ratter of pronounced ability. The officials
rubbed their hands gleefully, and in
mt Of generosity sent on a request TO
Washington that the treasury department
make a monthly appropriation of 50 to
provide food for the cats. This sugges-
ton the treasury department treated with
more or less scorn. To the chagrin of the
local officials the department informed
The officials kept up the merry dig into
their pockets for loose change with which
TO purchase cat meat, and spent their
spare moments in saying unkind things
about the treasury department.
But they did not forget to gloat over the
fact that they had gained the mastery of
the rat problem. That is, they didn't I'M

JAPAN'S ROYAL MARRIAGE.
The Scion of 100 Kings WEEDS n
Charming Bride - Deserted Win-
dows But Crowded Streets.
From the London Mail.

From the London Mail.
Yokohama, May 1o.-The marriage of
The Crown Prince of Japan. Prince Yo-
shihito, to Princess Sada-ko, a niece Of
the late Empress Dowager, took place to-
day
To the young Japanese nation, reveling
in hopes and ambitions that suffer no
blight from a consciousness of age or ma
tional ennul the marriage of their Crown
Prince is an event of the most suspicious
character. The event gains in Importance
from the fact that Prince Yoshihito is
the one hundred and sixty-second in the
imperial line, the hope of a dynasty which
has ruled Japan for nearly 1900 years
He is twenty years old, is short in stat
ure, like all his future subjects. and
though he has never visited Europe. he
has received a good Western education
His bride, Princess Sada-ko, has the
bluest blood of Japan in her veins and
can boast of lineage extending back many
centuries for she is the daughter of
Prince Kujo In herself she is a charming
little lady of seventeen, with a bright and
clear mind, rendered still brighter and
clearer by a good education on European
lines.
The Prince left his palace at Aoyama,
Toxic at 1870, and proceeded to the i'm
perial palace In the center of the city,
where ne met his bride. Many Japanese
now marry under Western rules. but in
his case the marriage, which was of a
private character, took place at the i'm
perial shrine according to the Shinto
rites, the rites of old yapana.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the
imperial couple received the congratula-
lions of the great officers of state, and a
little later, accompanied by a brilliant es-
cort they proceeded to the palace at
Aoyama, amid the acclamations of an i'm
mense multitude that filled the streets.
The windows were everywhere deserted,
for no Japanese may look down on the
person Of any member of the royal fam
lily under severe penalties.
In their first appearance on the way
to the shrine bride and bridegroom were
both dressed in antique Japanese costume,
the brides dress being heavily embroid-
| cred with gold, but now in this process
sion, when they rode in open carriage
through the city. both ware European
costumes.
The brides wedding trousseau is said
| to have cost $4,000.
in honor of the occasion many polite
ians have been raised TO the peerage.

DOGS AS POLICEMEN.
Canine COnstRbIes Being Tried in
Belgium-How They Are Trained.
From fha Inndop Nrou

From the London Mail
The experiment of training dogs to act
as and assist policemen has been tried in
the little Belgian town Of Client with every
success. NJ. Ernest Van wesemail Com
missioner of Police for Client, is RESPONSE
BILE for the Introduction of dogs as con-
stables. For the first experiment Belgian
collies OF three kinds, long. short and
rough, were chosen, to which was added
later a. Picardy dog.
The dogs are trained to obey policemen
in uniform only, and are afterward intro
duced to the residents. They are taught
10 swim and how to grasp objects in the
water, TO save people from drowning and
TO leap high obstacles. The duties of the
dog service commence at 10 at night and
finish at in the morning. The animals

patrols the streets noiselessly and vigilant-
ly. The dog wears a huge spiked cola
so that in the event of being attacked IL
cannot be grasped by the threat. In the
case of a burglary the dog either dashes
off for policeman or attacks the felonious
one and holds him until help arrives.
Several of these canine constables have
proved their utility in many ways. in saw

From the National Review.
Bomb-proof shelters were, of course
built or excavated in Ladysmith, but these
were naturally not conspicuous. There
were many of them in the river bank
where they were easily constructed. At
the Gordons Camp an Indian was per-
manently on the watch with eye glued to
a telescope. Long Tom was fired with
black powder, and when the Waterman
saw the puff of smoke which showed that
the gun had been discharged, he called
out in a high drawing voice. 'Bulwa-a-
ana Ia-ang T-a-a-a-m." Twenty-three
seconds elapsed between the firing of the
shot and arrival of the she'll and this gave
plenty of time for every one within hearing
to reach shelter. The Indian, with the
composure of his race, sat unmoved at
his lookout, and was never hit. Elsewhere
a bugle call was the danger signal At one
cavalry camp, l was told, the horses got
to know this bugle quite WELL and when
the call sent the men running to shelter
the horses would show their uneasiness by
stamping on the ground and tossing their
heads. AS a rule, both horses and cattle
were very little harmed by shell fire.
Herds of oxen and troops of horses and
grass could be found within the circuit

WAYS THAT ARE DARK.

The Yung Kee opium case came to a
sudden stop this morning in the police
court. The police were "jobbed" by their
informers, says the deputy sheriff, who
asked that the defendant be discharged
without punishment, when the evidence
was all in.
All On and Chun Choy, who have
been acting as police spies, are accus-
ed of getting up a scheme to trap Yung
Kee. Last night All On hunted up the
deputy sheriff and told him that Chun
was running an opium joint and ought
to be looked after, even If he was a
police infOrmer. In the meantime
Chun had Yung Kee in his room, hav-
ing enticed him there on important
business" When the deputy sheriff ar
rived Yung was hitting the pipe, while
| Chun sat by and watched. Yung was
arrested for having opium in posses
sion.
WV told Judge Wilcox that the po-
lice informer put the pipe in his hands
| just before the deputy, who had been
| put wise by All On, arrived on the
scene. Thus the plot worked nicely and
Yung was brou~N' into court, with 9
prospect of paying a fine of which
both All On and Chun Choy could have
a portion.
The witnesses lied against each othel
on the stand and then Chillingwortf
said he thought the two informers haC
put up a job on the defendant. Judg'
Wilcox said IL was a very dirty cas-
and that Chun Choy ought to be pu
out of the business. Yung Kee, whit
was released and the hopes of tn
spies fell to the ground.
