FOR HAPPY MARRIED LIFE.
Good Manners Go Far to Preserve
Peace and Concord.

A great many people seem 10 think

Is fatal mistake, Because a woman

her husband home truths that hurt his
vanity. Because a woman Is his wife

UTILIZING PARIS SEWAGE.
Waste Flow from Metropolis Turned
to Excellent Account.

A German contemporary, in dis
cussing methods of utilizing sewage
for agriculture, gives considerable
space to Berlin's successful enter
prise, already dealt with in these COL
umns, and then speaks of the Paris
venture, making a feature of the sew
age farm at Acheres.
The inhabitants of Paris number
over 2,500,O00, and the total flow of
sewage is stated to average Tin our
measurement 17,66O,000 cubuc feet
per diem. This is collected in inter-
cepting sewers, which convey it by
gravitation down to Clichy, where it
is raised 11S feet by powerful pumps
and distributed by gravitation
through the farm. The pumping
engines are capable of indicating
5000 horsepower. 1t is stated that
experience shows that one acre of
suitable soil can take 1880 cubic
feet of sewage daily, so that an area
of about 1900 acres would be need
ed to deal with the whole of the dis
charge of the Paris sewers.
A very high degree of publication
is reached, the eff1uent containing
fewer bacteria per. cubic centimeter
than most uncontaminated streams.
The land also has been greatly in
creased in value, being now worth
five times as much as it was before
being made receptacle for the
sewage. AS natural consequence,
neighboring land owners who orig
inally had fercely opposed the es-
tablishment of a sewage farm in
their midst are now demanding to
have the sewage applied to their own
farms.
The farm at Acheres is 2,47l acres
in extent and is under the control of
civil engineer, who in the main
raises beet root, though his crop will
admit of much less sewage being
passed on to the land than certain
others. The main conveying the
sewage from the pumping station is
inches in diameter, while a Sec
ondary system of pipes ranging from
81 to IL inches in diameter serves
as feeders to the irrigation trenches,
into which the sewage passes
through 12-inch valves. The ground
is laid cut and the irrigating
trenches are so arranged that the
only service needed in regulating the
flow is the opening and closing of
the regulation valves just men.

The crop which stands the most
sewage is grass, meadow, it is
stated, being uninjured by a flow
of 2,430,O00 cubic feet per acre per
year; lucerne can take 100000 Gu
bic feet per annum, artichokes $685.
600; flowers. parsley, sorrel, etc.,
$4,000 cubic feet; leeks, cabbages
and celery, 325,000, while beet roots,
carrots and beets will take only 197,.

peas but 141,000 cubic feet per acre

! quin skirt which have aroused storm
of comment, curiosity and questions.
| It is beautiful skirt, I think,
though for time I stood quite alone
in that belief. A skirt that clings
SO closely to the figure that strained
dragged effect is only prevented by
| the soft folds over front and back
introduced by the master hand of
Paquin. 1t is these folds, suggestive
of the lines of a habit skirt, that diff
ferentiate the Paquin model from the
familiar sheath skirt of several years
ago.
! will tell you little incident that
occurred at the time of it's debut in
Paris. 1t was one night at Durand's.
Half the English-speaking world of
Paris goes to Durand's, and 1 was Of
that half that night. Awoman swept
across the floor to table near the
far end of the salon. There was no
need to ask who she was, and only
the innate good breeding of the wom-
en- lettering over their suppers kept
score of lorgnettes from being raised
In her direction. Madame Paquin at
any time with her grace and beauty
is an object of interest to Parisiennes,
but Madam Paquin in a new Paquin
creation holds an Unsuitable interest
for the world at large. There was no
question that night nor the next day
when all Paris was talking of the
new Paquin skirt-of it's vogue or it's
beauty. The only question every
French woman was asking herself
was, "Can I wear twill it be pos
sible to adapt it to me?"
When I returned from Paris full Of
enthusiasm for the new skirt-an en-
thusiasm inspired, frankly confess,
not so much by Paquin's belief in his
own creation as by the concrete ex-
ample of it's effectiveness on the beau
tiful Nine. Paquin-my ardor was con-
stderably dampened by the attitude
of unenlightened and unappreciative
America.
American women are too self-con-
scious. Now l have said something
that has been on my mind for long
time. A Frenchwoman will spend
hours on her toilette, and, when she
has finished, her dress is complete,
perfect, part of herself. She dis
misses it from her mind, and is no
more conscious of it than she is of the
gestures Of her beautiful white hands,
or the inherited vivacity of the Gallo
race that plays over her piquant face.
But with us! "Are other people wear
ing it," is the question that indicates
a subservient attitude which would
rather clothe itself in inconspicuous
mediocrity than take the risk of being
original.
And so when I presented the Pa
quin skirt there were no expressions
of delight over the possibilities un-
limited which it presented as a me-
dunn of individuality for every woman.
"Oh, how very odd" was the uni
versal comment, accompanied by a
half-concealed smile. 1T really makes
her look like a top!" and the smile
