PARIS, July =, 1904.
Paris. as every one knows. has the repu-
tation of being the most beautiful city in
the world. During the last few days the
Vile Lumiere has more than lived up to
her renown. In fact. every nook and cor
ner of the gay capital has been mass
of blooming flowers every householder COM
peting for the prize given by a society
called lie Nouveau Paris. which for two
years has held a fiowery competition for
the best decorations of windows and bal
comics. Paris is singularly adapted for
such floral decorations. owing to the orna-
mental facades of the houses and the many
balconies. which, II adorned with plants
and flowers. would transform monotonous
streets into veritable gardens of loveliness.
This competition not only helps Paris to
uphold her enviable reputation, but en-
courages culture of flowers among the
masses. The first prize. which consisted
of an exquisite Sevres vase presented by
the minister of public instruction. was won
by citizen living in the Rue du Temple.

geously decorated.

He says that he recently took passage

tells of how he reached out his hand

A PERFECT BICYCLE.
From an article on Postal Frauds in
Leslie's Monthly for June.

1t is an attribute of human nature
that every man carries in his head a
rough price list of the merchantable
articles with which he is familiar. If
a price for d house and lot or a col
lar button is named lower than that
which he has in his mind, he thinks
he is either getting a bargain or be-
ing cheated. Many swindlers have
made use of this price, but one gent
us originated and offer made few
years ago of a complete bicycle for
the preposterous price of $3.4S. 1t

ment, had a durable frame, rams

ern improvements. "With this ma
chine,' it went on, "you will never
get into trouble by puncturing or cut

vertiser enthusiastically asserted,
the wheel was ga perfect charm. -

FREE SCHOOL MEALS.

How the Larger German Cities Pro
vide For Needy Pupils.
In the larger German cities free
meals are provided at the public
schools for children needing additional
nutriment, the custom prevailing by
the report of Consul Warner at Leipsic
in twenty-one cities.
With the exception of Berlin, Bar
men, Brunswick and Nuremberg, not
only the poor but the sick and infirm
children were also given breakfast.
In Magdeburg food is only supplied
in very hard winters. Instead of
breakfast dinner is given to the chill
dren in Dresden, Munich, Stettin and
Strassburg, but in Munich it is project
ed to also furnish breakfast. In Ham
burg there is attached great weight to
providing proper dinners for the chill
dren, the expense of which amounts
to about $4,000 marks CSG,G64 annual
ly. In Brunswick, Breslau, Cologne.
Kiel, Posen and Nuremberg dinner, in
addition to breakfast, Is also furnished.
In Breslau, Charlottenburg, Dussel-
dorf, Halle, Mannheim and Magdeburg
the food is distributed by public insti-
| tutions, while in the other towns it is
| furnished by charitable societies. The
municipal authorities Of Dantzic, bort
mund, Hamburg, Hanover, Konigsbere
and Posen contribute toward these
!! funds, however.
| The breakfast is not always the same;
, for instance, white bread. dry or but
tered, and milk; milk. with coffee and
bread; coffee or soup and bread, OF
soup made of flour and white bread
Usually the children receive milk, the
quantity given being from three gills tt

Chicago, May 24.-That the $751;

residence, 1857 Michigan avenue, was
carefully planned by two or more ex-
pert thieves and was carried out in a
way that showed remarkable fore
sight and precision of detail was
made clear to the police yesterday.

Stephen Herbert, the discharged but

plain thai an accomplish cleared the

of $500 and 5 per cent. of the value
of the stolen jewels for the arrest
and conviction of the thief, making
a total reward of 81, $50. Herbert
has disappeared and the police have
been unable to trace him.
That evening, when Mrs. Kiser en-
tered the dining hall, she saw,
