Book Stalls in Paris.

1t is the left bank of the Seine
which, by some process of natural
selection, has secured. and held for
we'll on to a century, the monopoly of
these old-book stalls. There must be
something in the neighborhood for
the houses on the other side of the
street from these convenient parapets
have old-book and general curiosity
shops on their ground floors. Before
the embankment walls were built,
shops and stalls alike were about the
cathedral church of Notre Dame. be-
tween the buttresses and along the
cloisters and parvis of which all
manner of little industries fourished,
mixing the human with the divine.
after the fashion of past ages. It was
principally there, and at the movable
stalls set-up daily on the Pont Neuf,
that collectors came on the marvellous
finds of which we read, and which
mistakenly inspire us with vain ex-
pectations in looking through the
present prosaic boxes. Then the
revolution had scattered to the winds
the treasures of art and letters stored
away by monks and mobiles. What
ever did not serve the corner-grocer
for the wrapping of his wares might
find it's way to the stalls. Charles
Nodier, for six sous, bought one of
the original volumes from the Aldine
press of Venice, and sold it for four
hundred and fifty times as much,
which would, also, be little nowadays.

Picture Post Cards in Turkey.

Although we in this country have
not yet been smiten with the mania
for collecting picture postcards which
possesses some of our continental
neighbors, the use of these cards is
steadily increasing, and many are
issued of artistic quality. The new
craze has had a curious sequel in
Turkey; for the authorities have for
hidden the introduction into the
Ottoman empire of picture postcards
bearing drawings of the Kaaba and
other religious buildings or Of Moham-
medan women-the word drawing"
of course, including photography and
every other pictorial process. The
police in Turkey have orders to seize
all such goods in the possession Of
native dealers, and to purchase those
belonging to shopkeepers of other
nations. The customs, too, have or
ders to stop all importations of such
goods. These stringent proceedings
are founded upon the prohibition IN
The Koran against the use among the
faithful of any representation OF
either animal of vegetable life i'll
any drawing or decoration. Travellers
will be much disappointed at regula-
ton which bars them from trans
hitting home such pleasant souvenirs
of their wanderings.-C

FUEL OF THE FUTURE.
Petroleum Coming on to Take Place
of Coal.

Petroleum coming on TO axe RACE
of Coal.
The fuel of the future, according to
the London Express, is petroleum, or
rather, the residuum after the finer
oils as naptha, gasoline and kerosene
have been distilled from it. This
residue, which constitutes two-thirds
of petroleum, has till recently been
thrown away, but is now found to be
superior to coal. "a ton Of liquid fuel"
says the Express, will produce as
much steam as two tons of coal and
fills only third of it's space" Be-
sides being a concentrated fuel the
oily residuum has the merit of pack
ing closer than coal, so that it can
be used as ballast, being run into the
ships double bottom. When space is
scanty, as, for example, in torpedo
boat destroyers, the use of a fluid
seems to be almost imperative. 1t is
already, in fact, very largely used in
the French, Russian and Dutch fleets.
On the Volga steamers use it alto
gether, and the same is to be said of
the 40 steamers that ply between Bor-
neo and London, distance of 10000
miles. Locomotives on two of the
greatest railway systems of England
employ liquid fuel. On several inn
portant continental railways it is used
exclusively, and the same is to be said
of the southern California railway. In
south Africa on the traction line be-

oil is used because wood and coal are
too expensive This brings us to con-
slider the objections made by the Brit
ish admiralty to the use of oil to pro-
pei the fleet. It is urged that the oil
supply is nsuf1cient-Russian and
America being the only large produc-
ers-and at present costs over twice
as much as coal. In case of war Eng
land might find herself cut off from oil,
whereas she has stores of coal at nu-
merous stations all over the world.
The larger cost of Oil is weighty
objection. To be added are the cost of
adapting furnaces to the use Of liquid
fuel and the difficulty of reconverting
them in case it should become neces-
sary to return to the use of coal. At
present England mines 200.00O,000
tons of coal annually and would need
100,O00,000 tons of petroleum to re-
place it. To this it may be answered
that oil-mining is an expanding indus
try and that an enlarged demand for
oil would increase the supply and re-
duce the price.

MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA.
Two Things Shown to be Closely
Associated,


Associated.
A British consular report describes
the large practical results already OBJ
tanned in the deadly malarious districts
of Italy from the recent discovery of
the agency of a certain species of Mos
quito in spreading malaria. A ma
laria map of Italy was prepared sew
eral years ago by the government for
military purposes. The worst districts
were marked with black, while the dis
tricts in which the fever was less
fierce were colored gray. The result
was that a very large area of produc
| tive country was shown to be unin-
| habitable in the summer time. No
| laborer could live in the worst area
| 'To till the land, says the report,
cor to perform the duties of the
| counting house involved a tedious
| journey every night to neighboring
! hilltop, often many miles off, with an
almost equally wearisome journey on
the following morning" The question
| of malaria, indeed, is the most import
ant social and economic question in
Italy. To solve it successfully is to
restore a large proportion of the best
| farming land in the country to cult
I walton.
When it was discovered that ma
| laria can be avoided by keeping off
the mosquito, the Mediterranean Rail-
way, which traverses a very deadly
region, invested largely in wire net
| noncnI1ifn -nrnOf
clothing for it's employees. The rail
way stations were fitted with wire
gauze doris and window coverings and
| the hands were required at night to
wear clothing that the mosquito cannot
bite through. Wire gauze porches
were added to houses, so that the
| families of the agents and workmen
could sit out of doors on nights when
the heat indoors was oppressive THE
result" says the report, has been
marvellous. To be appointed station
master in these districts was tanta-
mount to a sentence of death, and no
man could have his family to live
with him in the summer with any
prospect of their escaping the scourge,
which affects one-third of the COM
munes in Italy win more or less
severity. But now the railway COM
pany has secured absolute immunity
! to it's servants and their families, and
even in such poisonous localities as
Battipaglia and San Nicola the fami-
lies in protected houses have been per-
fectly healthy" The lesson is a val
liable one and should not be lost upon
those parts of the United States that
suffer from malaria. And what is
good for malaria is good also, we have
recently learned, for yellow fever.

HERE AND THERE.
cavy the Latest FGvorite as Pet for
Women.

Women.
An enterprising woman out in Wood
stock, ILL.,, Mrs. Edith Kingman Poyer,
| has demonstrated what one of her
sex can do as a breeder of pet stock.
She has been but three years in the
| business and her success has been
| phnOmenal.
1t was she who introduced novelty
| in domestic pets called the cavy
This curious little creature has long
been a favorite in England, but in
America was, until few years ago,
practically unknown. She imported
some fine specimens and began breed
| ing them.
Most readers will ask, What is a
cavy?'> He is a sort of second cou-
sin to the guinea pig and his sole mis-
sion in life is that of pet. Utility is
not one of his attributes; he cannot
catch the nimble mouse like the
family cat nor guard the household
| like faithful Towser He is, how
ever, quite as useful as the fashionable
dog, whose beauty is his only recon-
lmendatiOn.
The finer kinds are exquisite little
playthings There are several distinct
varieties. The English, which are
the best known, may be classed among
the smooth-coated animals; their hair
| is short and glossy and is easily kept
| clean. They come in several color
combinations, among which black and
red and white are the most usual The
| tricoIored, or tortoise shell, cavy, in
| red, white and black is in much de-
mand. To be correct the color should
be laid on in distinct patches and not
| notified The self-colored species in
lustrous black or red are extremely at
| tractive; the white ones are more
common.
The Peruvian breed is so different
! from the English that one would
scarcely recognize it as belonging to
the same family. They have a coat
as sleek and fine as spun silk and thes.
abundant names trail upon the ground
in fluffy fringe over their heads and
faces. In fact, the Peruvian cavy
reminds one of an extremely diminu-
| tive Yorkshire terrier and is quite as
pretty. Mixed colorings are the rule,
white is the only solid color and the
} pure white ones have lovely rose pink
eyes and delicate pink paws; they
are, in fact, the albinos of the race.
The cavy is not exacing as to his
bed and board; he is quite content
with a box on the lawn or a lodging
in the barn, and with nibble such kit
chen refuse as the parings of vege-
tables and fruit. He will also eat
milk and bread. He is Unfortunately
fond of bananas and apples, which
may be given him occasionally as
dessert.
The cavy cuts a number of amusing
antics and is a never-failing source of
amusement in a household where
there are children. He expresses his
appreciation by twittering like a
canary or whistling like a hooking
bird.
The American Cavy Club is doing
all in it's power to keep the breed UP
to the standard of excellence. Be
sides being pretty pets they may be
made source of income, as they are

The Great Woman Traveller.

A few of Mrs. Bishops habits in
travelling may be of interest. Like
all ''old hands" she does not cucumber
herself with luggage, or with patent
encumbrances. She buys and uses
the native articles as much as
possible, knowing that, in all
probability, they are adapted to the
condition of the country. A camb-bed
is the one indispensable thing she
carries with her, on account of her
spine; and this must certainly be
great convenience in remote China,
where comfortable beds or chairs are
unknown. For the numerous different
modes in which she has travelled I
must refer the reader to her books,
where they are described, from scow-
back" to sampan. She gives the palm
for comfort to being carried in a chair
"a most luxuriant and pleasant
method, even when the road is not
smooth. She makes a rule when in
the east of never employing ''boy,"
or servant, who has been with
Europeans before-certainly a tribute
to Oriental character. Among the
qualities that give value to Mrs
Bishops observations on her travels
is her painstaking minuteness. She
has not only the feminine eye for
details, but great patience in verifying
and completing her impressions. She
will measure a stone carving; test the
heat of hot-water spring; carefully
compare frond of fern, and chronicle
it's Latin name.-Good Words.
