Giant Paris Store.

Two powerful searchlights can be seen
from all quarters of Paris every night.
One is that of the Eiffel tower and the
other, which is almost as powerful, is
that of Dufayel's store, one of the most
interesting centers of French commerce,
both on account of it's magnificent deco
ration and because of the system of
business practiced there.
It is a credit system. For a small
sun-generally tie fifth of the whole
price-anybody can purchase whatever
household goods he may require and
settle the balance by weekly Install
ments varying from 80 cents to 81. But
it is not only to these facilities of pay
ment that the Dufayel establishment
owes its rapid success, but more espe-
cially because the customers are fully
aware that they will not have to pay
more in purchasing on credit than K
they paid ready money. This system of
payment by installment is appreciated,
more than 5000 900 customers have
placed orders with the firm. Three
thousand clerks are employed in book
ing and sending off these orders, which
amount to S26 COO, 900 in the course of the
year. In order to attract and retain
this vast custom NJ. Dufayel has not
hesitated to expend large sums, and has
built on a large piece of land, measur-
ing IS 600 square yards. an enormous
store, 100 feet high, divided into floors,
separated into courts. and decorated
with a profusion of statues and paint
ings by great modern artists.

RARE BICYCLE PATH.
Smooth Road Through Oregon For
ests Built by Western Enterprise

Twenty-Five miles of highway. graded
and bridged ike railroads right of
way, -cindered like j millionaire's pri-
vate race track cleared through heavy
timber and carried around the precipit-
Gus sides OF lakes on level shelves high
above the water, and dedicated to the
exclusive use of the wheel is the result
of long and persistent effort made by
whee1men of Seattle against seemingly
impossible obstacles.
The population of Seattle, like all
western cities,i is largely recruited from
the eastern states. ThuS-it was that
roads of the middle states and the rolf
ing highways which make wheeling in
the thicl1lys populated east such aspleas-s
ure, came to this city of hills With its
beautiful surroundings of sound, Lake,
river and forest, and unpacked their
wheels in all eagerness. Disappoint-
ment at once awaited these enthusiasts,
for that same nature which had been
SO lavish in her gifts to the eye had
not smoOthed highways for the bicvcle.
The very hills which seemed SO inviting
to the would-be rider effectually blocked
his way, and the very forests which
were penetrated here and there only by
narrow, dusty lanes or rough, plank
floored country roads.
But the energetic wkselmen refused to
be confined to The paved streets of Sc
attle's limited Level business district and
the county commissioners began to feel
pressure to make good the main high
ways, that the bicycles might be used
with pleasure in the country. 1t was
not long before the Queen City Good
Roads club was formed for the purpose
of systenatizing the efforts toward
good road building and to construct a
bicycle path from the northern city lin
it's along the shore of Lake Washington
to the southern CITY limits, a project
which promised an uninterrupted ride
of nearly ten miles. half of which would
wind in and out OF heavy timber, alter
nately dipping into the shaded, cool and
circlirg on the cverhanging bank above
the lake.
Ore of the first steps taken by the
club was to secure an action on the part
of the city council to tax every bicycle
in town 81 4er wear. This tax, exceTt-
ing a small fee deducted by the city
for the cost of collection and registrd-
to be spent on the building and main
tenance of bicycle paths. So we'll did
the plan result that it has been main
tained in the perfection of the present
system of paths. There are three main
divisions of this bicycle highway, name

builders not hesitating to cut through
q bank and bridge over a ravine almost
as carefully as would be done for a mar
row gauge railroad The surface of the
paths is well cindered.- making them
dustless in the dry season and firm in
the rainy weather.

dollars out of it."-Country Life in
