joys of Shopping In Paris.

Lillian Bell gives the result of her shop
ping experiences abroad in The Wom-
ans Home Companion in an interesting
paper entitled Shopping In the Great
Cities of Europe" OF Paris, the most
delightful OF all cities for the woman who
would buy. she says:
Il consider shopping in Paris one of
the greatest pleasures to be found in this
vale of tears. The shops, with the excep-
ton of the Louvre, the Bon Marche and
one or two of the large department stores
uf similar scope, are all small-tiny, in
ract-and exploit but one or two things.
~ tiny shop for fans will be next to
mllllner who makes a specially of nothing
but gauze theater bonnets Perhaps next
will come linen store. where the win
dows will have nothing but the most fas-
clnatinS embroidery, handkerchiefs and
neckwear. Then comes the man who
sells belts of every description. and para
sol handles. Perhaps your next window
will have such display of diamond neck
laces as would justify you in supposing
that the stock would make Tiffany choke
with envy, but if you enter you will find
yourself in an aperture in the wall which
holds an iron safe. = by / showcase
'
everything of value the owner has. except
the clothes he wears. is in his window.
so long as these shops are all crowded
together and SO small, to shop in Paris ii
really much more convenient than in one
of our large department stores at home,
with the additional delight of having
smiling, interested service. The proprie-
tor himself enters into your wants and
uses mis- quickness and intelligence to
supply your demands. He may be- and
very likely he is, doubling the price on
you because you are an American. but if
your bruised spirit is like mine you will
be perfectly willing to pay a little extra
for poiteness. 1t is truth that | have
brought home with me no article from
Paris which does not carry with it pleas
ant recollections of the way | bought it.
Can any woman who has shopped only in
America bring forward a similar state
ment?"

A Field For Inexpensive Copying.

Now that there are so many beautiful
stains that take on plain wood lot of
new artistic effects are had in furniture.
1t is possible to induce a carpenter, not a
higher priced cabinet maker. to turn out
some simple, solid looking pieces-stools,
small tables, even chairs, or pipe racks
and dish racks. Then one can have all
the fun of staining such bright green, red,
dull brown or yellow, and the result will
be right up to date The commonest wood
floors, if only half way well fitted, are
stained in colors to harmonize with such
furniture. And it is safe for the average
woman to possess n brush and a pot of
stain. The oft told jokes about women
who took on frenzy of painting and
daubed the whole house are libel, An
other stylish-therefore expensive-piece
of furniture is the settle box. That is q
box made convenient seat height, GOV
cred with brilliant burlap nailed With
brass top tacks and further embellshed
with brass handles and corners These
are counted very swagger. and they are
fine receptacles for extra gowns and
waists. The box to start with won't cost
much. What the stores charge high for
is the finishing, and that can be done at
home inexpensively.

A PRAYER FOR PATIENCE.

"oh, dreary life!" we cry. oh dreary life!'
And still the generations Of the birds
Sing through our signing, and the focks and
herds
Serenely live while we are keeping strife
With heavens true purpose in US. as knife
Against which may struggle. Ocean girds
Unslacked the drylaud; savannah swards
Unwcary sweep; hills watch, unworn, and rife
Meek leaves drop yearly from the forest trees
To show above the unwastcd stars that pass
In their glory Oh, thou God Of old!
Grant me some smaller grace than comes to
these;
But so much patience as a blade of grass
Grows by, contented through the heat and cold

Artemus Wards Lecture.

"The funniest thing | ever saw or
heard" said Chaunccy NJ. Depew in Sue
cess, was the lecture of Artemus Ward,
then quite unknown, on Mormons, de-
livered in Albany. The audience was
fashionable, conservative and proper to
a degree. Ward, discouraged, finally
stopped and said after one of his best
things which had met with no response,
There's the joke. Suddenly the fun of
the whole entertainment came like an
avalanche. The audience began to litter
then to laugh then to roar and at the enc
of 10 minutes was positively in a hys
terical condition."
One of Artemus' wittiest remarks was
his answer to a telegram. what will
you take for ten nights in San Fran
cisco" a lecture agent wired him.
"Thalks, brandy and water" was the
reply.

OLDEST OF ALL ISLANDS.
Christmas Island Is Inhabited By Only
 Thirteen White Men.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 Sir John Murray has recently returned to London from a prolonged soJourn in one of the loneliest spots on earth Christmas Island, located in the Indian ocean, From him is learned the first in telligence received in thirteen years from the thirteen white men who consti- ute the guardians of TOO cooIies.
 The island contains an inexhaustible deposit of phosphates, which the coolies dig, the whites acting as overseers, en- gineers, etc. Sir John spent six months on the island. Small as 1t is-oniy twelve miles long and seven miles wide-it had never before been scientifically studied. It Is covered with dense forests. It has no harbor. The sea all about 1t is three or four miles deep. If the water were drained away it would be very queer, very tall mountain with flat top.
 Naturally, the islands animals, plants and insects are interesting For, how did they get there across so deep sea? But there they certainly are. The whole place is overrun with curious red crabs as much as eighteen inches across. They are ex- cellent tree climbers. these crabs, and they go to the seaside flor the season." just as we do when we can. Once year there is a migration of these, which travel in body like ants, taking fifteen days on the Journey, and returning in land after matching their eggs
 There are only five mammals on the island, including two species of rat not known elsewhere. They are of two col ors, those on the plateau being brown, while those nearer the coast are black. Tn order to keep them down number of terriers have been imported. On the isl- and are also to be found a toothless snake and blind snake, like worm.
 In exploring the island Murray had to cut track through the dense forest until he reached the central plateau at an alti- tude of 1000 feet, where travelling was not so difficult. One night he got lost in the forest and had to go hungry or eat the tops of sago palms, which he cut down.
 The island Is under the Straits Settle ment government and resident magis- trate has just been dispatched thither from Singapore, together with an official of the Public Works Department, scien- tific commission and a force of police thirty-five in all. They will select sites for administrative buildings to be erected on the island.
 The climate is perfect, but prior to the British annexation no human being Is supposed to have lived on the island.

CHINESE ASSIST IN RELIEF

New York. July 19.--Chow Tsz Chi, Chinese consul in New York, has for warded to the Christian Herald the re- ports of the native commissioners ap- pointed by the Governor of Shan Si to assist In the work of relieving the famine. These reports detail the prog ress of the members of the relief com mission through Shan Si Near Michi Guy they saw refugees eating tree leaves and apparently enjoying them. Later they saw hungry birds in the woods fighting for dead bodies. In a large number of instances young girls who were being sold were purchased by the relief commissioners and sent to the relief headquarters, their fam flies being notified. On one day, May IS, sixty-seven girls were rescued. The local authorities about this date caught six dealers in girls and put them to death in an iron cage. but seemed pow erless to stop the traffic The daily reports of the native relief commission CTS show that the famine is widespread and the suffering extensive.

The coroner's Jury Charges Them
 With the Newell Murder.

Bessemer, July 19.-(special.) 1.-The coroner's jury Investigating the death of H. 2. Newell of Milldale adjourned this afternoon after rendering the fol- lowing verdict:
 That H. c. Newell came to his death at the hands of A. J. Sumner and George Bullard, whom the evidence proved had first robbed him and then pointed strongly to the belief that they afterwards made away with him."
 The evidence given today was con- frmatory of that previously given with additional Iacts seeming to connect the two men with Newell that night. Jim Buchanan was bound over as witness before the grand jury; also, James M. Rice, colored. m default of giving bond they were committed. Sumner and Bullard were taken to Birming- ham and lodged in the county jail.
 Thomas Y. Huffman, candidate for Mayor, withdrew today in favor of I. A. Lewis. w. T.. Kennedy and c. M. Lovejoy, candidates for the position of city clerk, also withdrew in favor of c. |. Cook. The race for clerk now rests between D. L. Mitchell and MT. Cook.

How Fast Dogs Run.

From the London Mall.
 Comparatively few people realize of what remarkable speed dogs are cap able. Some remarkable statistics in regard to this have been gathered by M. Dusolier, French scientist.
 After pointing out the marvellous en- durance shown by little fox terriers who follow their masters patiently for hours while the latter are riding on bicycles or in carriages, he says that even greater endurance is shown by certain wild animals that are akin to dogs.
 Thus a wolf can run between fifty and sixty, miles in one night, and an arctic fox can do quite as well, If not better.
 Nansen met one of these foxes on the Ice at a point more than seventy miles northwest of the Sannikow terri tory, which is 480 miles from the Asiatic coast. Eskimo and Siberian dogs can travel forty-miles on the ice in five hours, ana there is one case on record in which team of Eskimo dogs traveleu six and a half miles in twenty eight minutes.
 According to M. Dusolier. the speed of the shepherd dogs and those used for hunting ranges from ten to fifteen yards second. English settlers and pointers hunt at the rate of eighteen to nineteen miles an hour, and they can maintain this speed for at least two hours.
 Fox hounds are extraordinarily swift, as is proved by the fact that dog of this breed once beat a thoroughbred horse, covering four miles in six min utes and a half, which was at the rate of nearly eighteen yards a second.
 Greyhounds are the swiftest of all four-footed creatures, and their speed may be regarded as equal to that of carrier pigeons English greyhounds, which are carefully selected. and which are used for coursing, are able to cover at full gallop space between eighteen and twenty yards every second.
 How great an achievement this Is may be judged from the fact that a thoroughbred horse rarely, If ever, ex- ceeds nineteen yards. Moreover, 1t is said that hare at it's greatest speed never goes faster than at the rate of eighteen yards.
 These interesting statistic are ex- citing much comment among sports men and other lovers of dogs, and the opinion is unanimous that M. Dusolier has fully proved the right of the grey hound to rank as the swiftest of quad rupeds. Express engines only surpass them.

 Some years ago a well-known Phila- delphia broker found himself with a large quantity of cotton on hands and the market rapidly going to pieces. Ruin was staring him in the face. and he was, not unnaturally, feeling very much depressed. After the closing of the exchange one afternoon he was returning to his office in the company of a friend, who was doing his best to cheer him up. when he was accosted by a young acquaintance of his, one of those cheerful idiots" who never un- der any circumstances happen to say the right thing. The youth slapped our friend familiarly on the back, cry ing: Well, old chap, how about cot ton?" The unfortunate broker gazed at him for a moment with an express. ion of deep disgust, and then replied slowly: Young man, I never did like you much, even when cotton was high"

conqo's Wealth ls India Rubber,

From. the New York Tribune.
 The great futre wealth of the Congo will not be ivory, but india rubber. The rubber trade in the Free State Is a re- cent one. About forty years ago the first Europeans who settled in the Lower Con- 20 regions began to export india rubber in small quantities. But 1t was only in 1889 that the Belgians first turned their attention to the great gutta percha for ests of the Upper Congo. Since then the development of the rubber, Industry has been such that the Free State now holds the first place among the rubber produc- ing countries of Africa, with an annual output of more than 5000 tons.
