 Street Singers of Paris.

Never, or hardly ever. are piano organs to be heard in the streets of Paris, but in their place one has the barrel-organ, dilapidated looking af- fair, which gives tuneless, husky rem dering of old-fashioned songs. Bet ter, one has the ditties of the street singers of Paris, who accompany themselves either on the violin, gui- tar, mandolin or harp. The street singers have not only increased, but become more lively within the last ten years. They still sing sentimental ballads descriptive of moonlight nights. of blondes and brunettes, of vain romantic ambitions and cruelty shattered ideals, but they also give us the latest music hall ditty and cake walk. One popular singer is an old man with white hair, who invariably begins his performance by crying 'sVive la Francel" "Vive la Russia!" '~,Tive rEntente Cordiale" ''Vive tout le monde," His instrument is man. dolin, and his songs, delivered in a uuavering voice, are French, English, Russian and Italian. Italian boys

 It was Impossible not to kiss such smiling lips, and Vansittart knelt be- side her, laughing, too, like a school boy playing truant. And what is the meaning of your behavior, mad am?" he inquired What were you doing, starting off like rocket and returning like comet? What brought you back?"

Owen, do you know I think we must start afresh, have less formality, and more fun in our lives. Let's dismiss the servants. I'm sure we'd be much happier with less superior servants, somebody who wouldn't keep such a disappearing eye upon our move ments.

WARDROBE OF KING EDWARD
Costs About $6,ooo Annually, Accord.
 ing to His Taller.

London.-The kings tailor has been giving some details of the wardrobe of Edward VII. His majesty buys about a hundred pairs of trousers every year, and pays from $105O to s13 pair for them. He orders about a dozen dress suits annually at SSO each, and for his sack suits he pays $32.
 Twelve or 15 frock coats and 15 overcoats are also included in the Kings yearly renewal of his ward robe. The king has at least 100 naval and military uniforms, which repre-. sent large sum in value; but, apart from the cost of these, his tailoring bill amounts to from S5,000 to $6,OOO annually.
 From the necessity imposed on roy atty King Edward has acquired the celerity of quick-change artist in dressing. He can change from one suit into another with marvellous ra- pidity.
 His taste, which, when younger. was inclined to somewhat loud pat terms, is now all in favor of simplic- ity. A plain navy blue serge is his majestys favorite cloth.

A Recipe for Happiness.

A college man who entertained re- gently at smoker" for six of his chums confided to his sister that he would like something different from the ordinary place cards. And this is what he found on red cardboard panels done in india ink at each place resting against small steins of Aus trian ware. This clever recipe" was illustrated with neat little sketches sprinkled over the panel in a most at tractive manner. Each chap declared them worthy of frame or at least passe-par-touting." The recipe for happiness is as follows:
 To make it-Take hall dimly lit. pair of stairs where two may sit, Of music soft bar or so,
 Two pairs of-just two pairs-you
 know?
 Of little pats, one or two, . Or one squeezed hand instead will do; A waist the size to be embraced; And two ripe lips-rose bud-to taste, And if the lips are soft and sweet You'll find your happiness complete" :"

 A chef may need hundred pots and pans, bachelor can achieve mar vicious results with one. Vansittart complacently divested himself of his coat, turned up his sleeves, and com menced operations.
 Thus occupied, he did not hear a gentle turning of the key, nor a light step crossing the hall, and he stood petrified when well-known voice exclaimed in tcnes of undisguised amazement: "Owen!"

Hints for the Hostess. Proper Way to Get Up Enjoyable Stein .Supper-A
 Recipe for Happiness.

At stein supper the guests are usually men; such an affair is the de- light of the college boy. In most cases the success of the evening de- bends upon the vertiring mother, good sisters, or even interested girl friends, who disappear behind the scenes, after attending to the table decorations, arranging the table, etc. Beer may or may not be served; cider is favorite beverage, also hot spiced lemonade and punch which are served in covered steins. The new semi porcelain dishes of Holland and Eng fish manufacture are especially adapt ed to these affairs. Egg-shell china, lace table cloths and such dainty ac- cessories are out of place at "stag" parties. Toasts are always pleasing feature at any gathering and especial ly so at these suppers. The following are all apropo for name cards or to be memorized for this and other occa- sions:
 Here's to one; may she be won.' Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere"
 "Lo, now has come our joyfulst feast; let every man be jolly!" Here's to the girl I love, I wish she was nigh; If drinking beer would bring her here, I'd drink the old place dry" Here's to those that love us, if we
 only cared; Here's to those that we'd love, if we
 only dared" May our joys be as deep as the ocean, And our misfortunes as light as it's
 foam"
 Here's to our sweethearts and our
 wives;
 May our sweethearts soon become our
 wives,
 And our wives ever remain our sweet
 hearts"
 May the hinges of friendship never grow rusty"
 May we never want bread to make toast, or cook to prepare it." Happy are we met, happy have we
 been,
 Happy may we part, and happy meet
 again"

 "The fact that my sons are working with their hands. learning what man. uaI labor is, should not be considered a hobby on my part" says the gov ernOr. Every young man should be taught the value of money-that is, to know by the hard rule of experience WIldI IS necessary 10 De uOne III order to produce something for a consider atiOn. The ability to earn something usually carries with it a practical realization that the sweat of the brow is a teacher who imparts real good, common sense to young men. They are apt to feel the necessity for saving something they have to sweat for.
 "I hope the experience of my boys will be the means of making men out of them and that they will always be ready and willing to do whatever they are called upon to do. so that the call ing is just and honorable. The brain will take care of itself if the physical energy of the young man is brought into play as it should be-
 'T am convinced that the field for good hard-working, honest, brainy, strong young men is growing larger; that the demand is greater. and that opportunities are so plentiful that if a young man does not take advantage of these opportunities it is his fault or the fault of the parent or person who is guiding him.'-Kalamazo Mich.
