water mark and three feet above street
level But the water Of the last week has
risen at least three feet above the highest
protection wall provided by the engineers,
and in many places this massive masonry
has crUnbled under the pressure.
Equally surprising to the present genera
ton has been the effect on the sewers. The
sewers of Paris. made famous by Victor
Hugo since the seventeenth century, de-
spite their great service have complicated
food perils. The city's foundation is liter
ally honeycombed, and under food pressure
these vast tunnels burst and undermine
the foundations of the buildings. The main
sewers are eighteen feet in diameter and
the total length of this network of drains
is nine hundred miles. As these tubes also
contain water conduits. gas pipes. tele
graph, telephone and power wires and the
pneumatic postal tubes, the effects OF a
bursting sewer greatly increased. The
present flood has worked back into three
quarters of the sewers and their foul air
was driven out at the upper ends. In many
places the roofs collapsed under this re-
verse of the usual pressure.
THE sUBwAYs.
A modern addition to the underworld and
the part in which there has been the great
est EOO0 damage at present Is the subway
system. This began with the opening OF
the Metropolitan Underground Railway IN
1900 and has been continued till the city
has been 1nterlaced by a network of tun-
nels. The main line runs east and west
through the centre of the city from the
Porte de Vincennes to the Porte MaiAot. a
distance of seven miles. Another more
northerly line from Place de la Nation to
the Bois de Boulogne makes loop Of eight
miles. The new line under construction, in
which there have been bad cave-ins during
the last week extends under the Grand
Boulevard. from the Place de Ia, Concorde
Bastile, and thence across the Seine
through the Boulevard Saint German to
the Chamber of Deputies. The Orleans
Road also enters the city by subway
Each of the six big railway stations of
Paris is close to the Metropolitan and
undermined by its underground station. or
these the Care ST. Lazare, the Care dor
leans and the Care de Lyon were put out
of commission last week. Friday night a
sewer burst at the junction of the subway
lines in the Rue Reauuur, about a mile
from the river. and converted the tunnels
into roaring torrents.
OTHER FLOODS OF PARIS.
There have been forty-six overfows Of
the Seine in Paris since the practice Of
daily readings of that rivers flow was be-
gun in 1872 Of these, three rank as excep-

food OF June 1890, has been commonly con-
sidered the greatest in the citys history.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR HARRY
Lucky Bridegroom Had So Many of
His Wife Relatives to "Run in"
at Any Time.

1T isn't as if the dear child was go
ing away off in some remote place far
from all her relatives and friends, -
said the brides mother to the caller
who had run in the day after the we'd
ding to have a second look at the
presents.
You see, she is going to live right
here, so near us that l can run in
every day, and her sister, May, will
live just across the street and will
be running in every day, and her
grandmother lives just around the cor
ner, so she can run in every day. and
her Aunt Maria lives only four blocks
up the street, so she can run in every
day, and her Aunt Harriet lives so
near that she will probably be running
in every day, and she has half a dozen
other aunts and cousins right here in
town who will be running in at any
time; but. of course it will be little
hard on poor Harry, for all of his
people live miles and miles from here,
and the dear boy hasn't a relative to
run in, yet with SO many of May
relatives to run in the boy can't be
very lonesome-dear, good boy!"

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH
VILLAGE

''In Dowlais, South Wales, about ff.
teen years ago, families were strick-
en- wholesale by disease known as
the itch. Believe me, it is the most
terrible disease of it's kind that l
know of, as it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as if million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. l
knew dozen families that were so
affected.
THE doctors did their best, but
their remedies were of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as last resort
they were advised by friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. 1 am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Resolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was a perfect cure
in all cases.
Il may add that my three brothers,
three sisters, myself and all our fam
lilies have been users of the Cuticura
Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas
