 great is the trade of the store. You lool
 at the size of the store and the multi
 tude of tables, counters and shelves loaded with goods. and; you remember the colonies of bees on the old farm | where as a boy you saw a thousand go
 in and out at work in one small hive The miracle of natural adaptability only can explain the hive and the store 1.-the economy of space.
 Here is a wood and coal shop-a mere
 niche open to the street five and half feet wide. perhaps twenty-two deep. It
 is crammed and crowded with sacks of
 coal and bundles of wood and rosin
 dipped kindlings. A shutter closes it
 at night You edge in sidewise to in spect the fuel; there are a thousand
 such shoplets all over Paris.
 As of space, so of food, and at the present high prices in Paris there is no explanation of the fact that the poorer people live at all except by the fact of their wonderful economy of all food and fuel. The supply shops and markets show that everything is sold there in the smallest portions-eggs, one to a customer; butter down to a scent package; cheese to a penny's worth: all vegetables and fruits down to a pound weight or less; meat in bits of one-fifth of a pound. and fowl by the leg, wing or side.
 In the Markets.
 Go into the great markets early fir the morning and see the produce come in for the day. Examine the packages e;r hai net wrappings and crates and boxes. It is practically nothing; the baskets. boxes and coverings are nearly all made from the material produced on the farm or in the garden itself and cost only the work of making them Willow and twig baskets, carrying things like eggs and butter, and straw pleats and large leaves Cllke cabbage or fig) hold vegetables and berries, and homemade wood splint boxes bring fruit. and potatoes. Often the gardeners package material has not cost him a penny, and the buyer always brings basket or net bag and carries away the purchases, without wrapping in paper and so the cost is greatly cheapened. So thorough is this eco nomical training of children, that they are keen, even at 10 years of age, to emulate their parents and teachers in it, and the thousands of bank books of children and young servants show that they begin early in voluntary saving and learn to enjoy that virtue more than the pleasure of spending their hard earned sous.
 4 Cheap Hotel.
 -l.a T. tel for the submerged tenth-a great hall where one may sleep on a straw mattress. a board frame or the floor and have a breakfast of bread and soup, | and all for cents. And this price pays the expenses of the place But Paris 1 still stands first in hotels, if the state l ment made to you is true, in having i guest house that provides a nights | lodging for l penny and pays a profit l It is a great room on the ground floor l, used in the daytime as factory, ! through the length of which at g D. m | are stretched several strong cables of | hemp and are made taut by a windlass ! and peg in the wall. On either side of | each cable is row of chairs. and as l he weary lodgers come in they take the | 'hairs, and. sitting in them. lean for | ward. resting their heads on their arms, | sleeping thus until a. m. an attend | mt with a mallet knocks out the peg n the wall Down goes the rope with | III who may be leaning upon it, and | he room is ready for the work of the lay. This may be a classic and fa- niliar story to Parisians, but is not 1 known to the world. As a [ profitable lodging house, where one who sleeps in comfort in his clothes nay rest with more of comfort in half II he space, the venture is certainly IT cleaner. cheaper and more profitable II han the London plan.
