CALLING IN PARIS.
The Concierge Is Peculiar Institu-
ton In Several Ways.

ton In Several Ways.
You leave your card at the door Of
the person to whom you desire to pre-
sent yourself, and there it is taken in
charge by that peculiarly French func-
tiOnary the concierge, says Professor
Barrett Wendell in Scribner's. AT
least in Paris, the greater part of
French people live in large houses con-
tanning a number of apartments with
common entrance and staircase.
Close to the entrance door, on the level
of the street, are some stuffy little
rooms inhabited by the concierge, or
porter, with his family. Their duty,
among other things, is to keep strict
watch ON whoever goes in or out, and
at least one of them, often the porter's
wife or half grown daughter, is always
at hand.
The chief popularity of their temper
ament seems to be Unsuitable appetite.
At whatever hour of day or evening
you call on a concierge you are sure to
find somebody eating or just risen
from table, and the atmosphere inhab-
tied by this bustling parsonage seems
Immortality laden with the fumes of
something recently boiled.
No matter whether you call on a
friend who lives in some unpretentious
out of the way place or on one who
inhabits something like palace, the
concierge is always about the same
You can detect little difference be-
-thncn In, oh Of %1 ,t
doors and of insignificant They are
as like as house flies. Of course there
are private houses in Paris, with regu-
lar domestic servants such as you
would find anywhere, but these, grand
or simple, are SO unusual that you re-
member the concierge as everywhere
standing between you and further hu-
man intercourse.
In response to your card, which the
concierge duly sees delivered, comes a
card, often with a note, in return. If,
as is generally the case, this acknowl-
edgment of your existence contains an
intimation of when your French ac-
quaintance may be found at home, Ell
Their habitual or for your special bene
fit, you make your second visit at this
appointed time and thus enter into real
personal relations.
Otherwise, your intercourse has limit
ed itself to polite exchange of cards.
Generally speaking, you never expect
or attempt to see French people socially
except when they have asked you to
one of their regular days of reception
or have made definite appointment.
To call on person at any other time
to do more than leave your card with
the concierge-would be an intrusive
pretense to intimacy.

The Value of Diamonds.

The value of the diamond is at SO
much per carat, and up to certain
limit the value per carat increases as
the size Of the stone increases. When
a carat diamond is quoted at $125, a
diamond weighing a half a carat is
counted at the rate of So per carat,
three-Quarter carat diamonds at 500
per carat, one and one-quarter carat
diamonds at $40 per carat, one and
one-haif carat diamonds at $3.50 per
carat, one and three-quarter carat dia-
monds at $3.50 per carat, and two carat
stones at$200 per carat. Stones weigh
ing more than two carats sell at about
the same rate as that quoted for two
carat stones, and do not increase as
rapidly owing to the more limited de-
mand for the larger sized stones. New

A .seman's Complexion.

It is rank foolishness to attempt
to remove sallowness or greGsiness
of the skin by the use of cosmetics,
or "locap' treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. !" The only
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanseC
and enriches the blosd, purifies the
complexion It also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A single

known to cure the most pronounced

by Council at its meeting last week,
that two expert nonresident engineers
be employed TO investigate tho report

that own them, and have their pumping
appliances overhauled. and other need
