Paris Bessar.' Children.

Professional beggars in Paris hire
children to help them win money from
the charitable. There are certain rec
ognized centers for this abominable
traffic, and a regular tariff is in opera
ton at these child markets. The trade
is by far the briSkest in winter. In
ordinary times, when no special hOli-
day is in progress, a child of from to
10 years may be had cheaply, the cur
rent charge being IS pence a day,
or Shillings if the weather is very
cold. Babies in arms or those who can
only just toddle are more expensive.
fetching double and treble this sum.
On Christmas day and New Years
day, when beggars are practically not
interfered with by the police and reap
their richest harvests, the prices are
much higher. AS much as a sovereign
has to be paid on these special Occa-
sions for a baby only a few months
old, and even this sum is exceeded in
the case of the hapless little creatures
who are ill and who are thus likely the
more readily to move the passerby to
pity. Older children on these holidays
may be hired for shillings. If the
beggar continues at work throughout
the evening, he has to supply the child
with supper. He also has to under
take to pay for a doctor if his victim
should fall ill from exposure.-Pall
Mall Gazette.

Duty Calls.

The duty calls of man are much the
same as the duty calls OF a woman.
With both sexes call is obligatory aft
er an evening party, luncheon, din
ner, supper, a theater party, and
should be promptly made whether the
invitation has been accepted or not
Personal calls must be paid the newly
married, and should be made on their
reception days, if they have sent out
cards. A personal call is due the
brides parents if you have been in
vited to the wedding reception. A per-
sonal call should be made on a young
lady and her mother after the an
nouncement of the engagement of the
former. After a death in the family of
a friend a call should be made by init
mate friends within ten days of the
death. Those who are less intimate call
within a month. Such calls mean sim
ply the leaving Of a card, and no effort
is made to see the members Of the fam
lily in mourning. After a long absence
from home, friends, of course, call as
soon as possible.-Leah Lanceford in
Woman's Home Companion.

The dominant note of east London is
that it is hive of working bees. There
are, it is true, a few drones in it. They
are not the fat and luxurious drones OF
the other London, those who live in
luxury without labor and are down
laden with the curse of idleness. Our
drones. the east London drones, are the
residuum, the lees of humanity. who can
not and will not work. They are misera-
BILE, half starved, skulking drones. They
beg, they thieve, they do anything with
willing mind so long as it is not work.
They dwell in the slums. They are, in
the language of the day, the ''submerg-
ed but all the kings horses and all the

the Doctor.
"Ohr' said she.

Mr.. Hollis as she declined it.

Mrs. Hollis was faithful in all re-
spects to the directions. The three
pills were duly taken at bedtime and
her mind concentrated thereon till
sleep overcame her. Her SlumberS
were not continuous, and she awoke
far earlier than was customary, but
certainly Improvement had begun. The
fourth pill was more difficult to Swal-
low, and she had to bite it. 1t had a
very slight taste, not unlike that Of
Boston brown bread, by no means IN
pleasant. Nor was the doctors pro-
vision less accurate respecting break

the symptoms steadily bettered. The
head was less choked, the cheeks were
not so red and swollen, eyes and nose
were palpably on the mend. 1t was in
far more pleasing condition that she
repaired to the consulting room late in
the afternoon. Little of moment, how
ever, occurred. DR.. Smith expressed
great satisfaction at her rapid recov-

of the merit in thought pills. But tell

pills or I?'

Mr.. Hollis was no less gratified at
the quick Improvement in his wife and
in the library after dinner led the way
to an account of the treatment. AS the
narration proceeded he became more
and more interested and intent, though
at times a faint twinkle of the eye was
perceptible. But hardly had Mrs. Hol-

therapeutic process when he dropped

she asked, with open eyes.

WEATHER-CROP BULLETIN.
Changable Weather During Week Has Re-
tarded But Not Destroyed Crops.

Changable Weather During Week Has Re
tarded But Not Destroyed Crops.
The weather of the week ending May
81 has been unusually changable, char
acterized by great extremes in tempera-
ture. Heavy rains have been general
and cloudy days have predominated.
The average number of clear days, , {;
partly cloudy, , cloudy, 3.
In all the states of the section grass
has made rapid growth during the past
week. In the northern portion of the
sections other crops have made less
progress than in the southern districts.
Most of the correspondents from Maine
report that the ground has been so wet
that seeding has been impossible. while
one report from Rhode Island states that
the gardens planted are becoming weedy,
because they are too act to cultivate.
Crops in lowlands have not yet recovered
from the severe frOsts of last week. In
general. the crops were delayed, but not
destroyed.
About half of the grain sowing has
been done in the three northern states.
\ few fields of oats are getting green
in Vermont. In this state very little
corn has been planted. 1t is estimated
that twO-thlrds of the crop has been
planted in Connecticut. Ordinarily corn
is not planted in northern New England
before the 20-h or 10Th of the month, and
this season is generally considered late
in that latitude. Rye is heading well.
The correspondents are unanimous in
affirming that splendid Improvement in
grain has been made during the past
seven days. Pastures in southern New
England are advanced sufficiently ia
support stock In portions of Maine.
New Hampshire and Vermont only
Young stock and sheep are in pastures.
Peaches have been Affected. but not
entirely destroyed by the cold weather.
Early Strawberries. cherries and plums
are injured but not so seriously as
peaches. Apple trees are laden with
blooms and the prospect for a heavy
. yield is still bright. The outlook in
general is more favorable than it was q
week ago.
Aside from the injury suffered by the
/ freeze of last week reports of vegetable.
are encouraging In portions of Rhode
Island replanting was necessary; corn
beans, tomatoes, and even peas being
killed. hut this severe loss is not genera
throughout the section. Peas anC
onions in Maine are reported 70 he il
good condition. Potato sprouts are not
through the surface vet in VI 8Ssachu
sets and one report states that tn,
seed is rOttng.

Finally he had the American nag run
