Give me a call and get or leac descrip tion of iirojiertyat E. A. Uelmaa's Land Ex change Office. Robert Laird Collier in Boston Herald. Have you ever heard how thousands of tho very poor of Pans nre fed, and how cheaply they buy their food! I have been told some thing about it, but did not quite get all the toeiftl machinery of the matter into my head until I w ent and saw it You know well enough that there,, is no such tiling as wastefulness in all France, the French people not only have economy, but they have a more useful virtue even than that. They have facility. They not only can aave, but they can mako the most out of what thoy save. Here is tho way this tiling is managed. Everything that cannot poaJbly bo used and re-used at tho hotels is wrapod together, and it .be comes tho perquisite of the chief of certain other domestiqucs of tho establishment Bits of meat of every sort, bread, butter, vege tables, jiastry and sweets are gathered to gether in a heap ready for the buyer. Men and women, young and old usually old- come round to these hotels and restaurants and largo houses and buy up all these leav ings, which they take away in great baskets swung upon thtir backs. Tho less prosperous dealers, doing business on the capital of a few f rancs, tako their stuff away wrapped in old newspapers; and all this food goes to tho markots. Here, in tho night, it is assorted; moat, vegetables, iastry put into separate piles, and then arranged in due proportions on plates to be sold. Many families I am told tlMUMinds of families lire wholly upon these leavings, year in and j-car out, Tho woman of the family comes to the market and buys w hat she wishes for the day or can afford to buy and takes it homo with her, cither in a basket or in a bit of newsair, as her means may enable her. In other instances many come to tho market and do their eating here, buying their plato of victuals, and usually getting a piece of fresh bread from an opmsite stall. Tlieso platct of food are Mild anywhere from 2 cente to 1 J cents. I am told that a family con.-Lst-ing of live iK-rsons can be fed on ns little a.s25 tints a day. You would suppose all theso scraps of food tho leavings of the leavings would look uninviting. Not so. Remeuiber, a French lumd luu touched it all, and, ns if by magic, it is turned intou sightly and upjM tiziug meal. When Tu ok in tho market I saw old wo men bringing masses of this food wrapjied in iienmi'irf, which they sold for u few sous, and in n fun' minutes it was all assorted and transformed into ratiicrimitiiigdisbes. Then there were tho bujersnnd thueaters. tfurluiM in all thtro wens 100 in tho market where I was,eatiiigtlieirfoodstandiugatthecounteii. Families of working jieoplo sometimes are a hit ashamed to buy of theo dealers, which nevertheless Uiey do under the pretext of get ting the food for the dogs. However, this is all perfectly understood. By this tinio the crowds of the indigent poor were gathered around the soup-kettles ranged along thu sidewalks outside tho mar kots, and so I sauntered out and along with the crow d. My cj es w ere opened. Hero w as a sulo of Paris life I had never seen. 1 know tho iKor in London well their animal ism and liorder-laud of starvatioiL I did not know there was just the class in Paris. I really saw stones converted into xpe. It was in this wise. Around one soup kettle, w here an old w oinan sat, I saw, I should say. ten half-starved, pinched, chilled men and boys and girls. Tlieso were waiting for Komo generously disioscd jiersou to conio nlong and buy them a bowl of soup. As each gentleman or lady approached tho soup woman, theso miserable creatures would crowd up, but would not persistently beg, though their eyes would look imploringly townrd the soup. Well, now for tho miracle. I saw- four miserable looking men, and as many half naked loys, nnd I handed tho old w omau n franc to givo them each a bowl of boup. Instead of my fight, instantly there were eighty around niel Where on earth thoy came from I do not know, how they came, and all tho rest of it, left iij ion my mind tho impression of a niiraclo wrought before my very o) cs. Tho stones w ere converted into people. I w ent to the other siilo of tho market and selected a soup-kcttlo about which I saw a boy and a girl standing and shi crin?. I wished to see if again this mar el of multiplication could bo w i-ought. I cast about me and saw, other tlinn the boy or gill, a fow passing nnd ro lssiiig. As quietly as I could almost as sl)Iy I handed tno woman a franc, audio and behold, there were not less than a score of like wretched men and women, boys and girls, imploring me for soup, and this in all its seriousness was in the twinkling of an eye. This soup smelt savory and looked nico. A largo bow 1 had bread broken into it, and with a ladle the bowl -was tilled from the ket tle, in which a lione and a sauago nnd vege tables were boiling. Two cents a bowl ! That is all. Good, tasteful soup at " cents a bowl. John Vance Cheney in The Century.

"My boy, what nro jou doing with that cigar in jour mouth f Throw tho filthy thing away,"' said a clerical looking man to a bootblack who sttuxl near the Globo hotel pulling a cigar.

But when u lad can't tako a smoke w ithoutan old chap like you wantin' hint to trow-it nwny, then there's a case for pity." Beaching into his ockct, tho bcnc olent boy brought forth :l cents, saying, as ho held them out to the nbashed gentleman: "Here, tako them coppers and buy 0110 for yorsclf, but don't ask mo again.

Mr. Ho wells and Mr. James, if I am not mistaken, get about $5,000 each for their aerials, as serials, and a percentage vt lien tho book is published. At least that is the way it used to be, but I Kdievo sinco Mr. James It. Osgood severed his connection with Houghton, Miflin & Co. nnd set up for him self that he has made some arrangement with Messrs. How ells and James and one or two other authors by which ho pays them a largo sum outright for their work, and then he negotiates with tho magaxino editor for its sale and publishes it in book form himself. This way of speculating in literature seems to bo gaming popularity. In England, as you are probably aware, it U quite a business, and the most successful person engaged in it is a Mr. Tillotson, who was recently in this country, where ho made a very good ar rangement with American authors and American iiowvpapcrs. Ho has bought a number of storie-j from different American authors James, Hovells, Cable and four or live others, and these he selK to a syndicate of newspapers in differ ent parts of tho country. He paj-s, say fl.OUOforastory in three or four chapters from Mr. James, and he pays cash, which is always an attraction to an author, and then he sells UiU story to a dozen or more papers for simultaneous publication and to as many English paiicrs at the same time. If ho gets JAK) from twenty-four papers each, including England and America, he gets II.SX) in all for one story, which pays him pretty good profit on nut investment. Becoming hearer Twenty Year After tile Close of tho War. At the clttoe of tho civil war tho United States go eminent found itself in the pcy&us fcion of beveral thousand captured guns, taken during the course of tlio conflict and at its close. Many of them were cannon which had leen seized by the Confederates at tho out break of hostilities in the southern forU nnd ursenals, but tho majority were of English make, and of the then most approved pitton!. They were of all sizes and calibers, and were manufactured from iron, steel and brass. Xot quite a score of years has elapsed sinco the close of the war, and but v cry few, if any, of this largo number of camion remain in tho hands of the government. They lue been given away by congress from timo to time for various purposes of a patriotic character. such as the erection of statues and bas-reliefs, erected in honor of distinguished military or civic heroes and statesmen, or in commemora tion of some noted historical event. Many of the brass guns liavo been used for medals and Ijadges. The liudge of tho Grand Army of tho Republic is composed, to tho extent or bu jiercent, of captured cannon metal, and only brass cannon nro used for the puqioso. Soma Idea of tho amount used in this way alono can bo formed from tho fact that last j ear tlio contractor w ho sup plies tho national headquarters of tho organi zation with this lino of goods furnished 80,000 badges, and has agreed to supply at least 100,000 during tho present year. A few years sinco tho contractor was receiving 50 cent for each badge ho manufactured; ho now gets but :J0 cents, but oven at this rate ho receives on this one item the sum of $30,000, which undoubtedly gives him a handsome margin of profit Should tho metal continue to bo used in such largo quantities it will not take many years to mako guns captured dur ing tho civil war as few and far between as are tho relics of revolutionary days. Crouch or the Milling Industry. Tlio Minneapolis Northwestern Miller, of a lato date, presented nn interesting exhibit of tho grow tit of tho milling industry in the United States from lbCO to 1SS0, as per census report. Tho record of tho census in 1870 as compared with 18C0 showed that the number of mills, tho valuo of grain used annually and tho capital invested had nearly doubled, tho number of employes had mono than doubled, and tho value of the annual product had nearly doubled. Tho growth of this industry for the next ten yeurs, from 1870 to 1880, was enormous, but the percentage of increase was lowered. During this decade tho number of establish ments increased a littlo less tlian 2,000, thcro being 22,573 in 1870 and 24.SJS in 1BS0. Tho capacity of tho new mills, however, averaged largo, so that tho increase in capital invested in plants was over (25,000,000. The number of "hands employed was increased less than 1,000 thowing the groat differenco in this re spect between roller and stono mills, as well ns tho rapid improvement in methods of liandliug tho grain and its products. Tho wages paid in lbOO showed an increase of about 5,000,000 over 1870, or about : per cent. Tho valuo of grain used had -creased to tho extent of about 55,000,000, and tho annual product showed an increased value of $00,000,000. Pioneer Lumber Man -Or SaDowicit Cocwrr.- KSTABLISHKI) IN 17.

Colli Then. fNew York Hour. The United State con never lay claim to being a republic, in tho best and truet tense, until it ceases to worship vulgarity veneered by mere wealth, and recognizes the tact that a diamond may shine beneath an unpreten tious exterior.

ITlie Hour. Nothing is more democratic than tho aver age American railway train, for it represents ct cry class and is no resjiecter of persons. The millionaire and tho lowest member of tlio prol etariat may possibly occupy contiguous seats. People who never by any circumstances are found together in the same room jostle against each other in tbe cars and show what thin partitions divido the various classes in thu democratic country. If that water which is constantly In motion, nnd whose particles conio frequently in diverse contact, is always the freshest and tweetcst, why may we not carp- out an anoltfry from it and say that the social current nlso which experiences yj,,, conditions is, in a similar way, made the Ut ter for it. It should at least be a prcservati re against decadence and stagnation.

He developed great business capacity, and a few years ago acquired com plete control of the tmper. Sinco then he has lecn devoting his attention to politics. McLean is a short, heavy set, pretty little fellow, with bluo eyes, a fat, chubby face, : cv cr nobbily dressed, and is gay company. He sings any sort of a song, speaks any lan guage fluently, dances an Irish jig or plays the piano with equal grace. He can mimic any man be ever met, tells a dialect story with charming brogue, and ciJ&jvrite a hum orous sketch with the same gracqnd facility. He is a bachelor, although most men of hi age ami condition in life are fathers of fam ilies. It is said that there is a romance about his ceUbacy, and tho entire story is yet to be ended. However, Johnny McLean has great big heart for his friends, and especially for his mother and sisters. During his lively expe riences in Columbus recently his sister, Mrs. Gen. Haren, was thrown from a carnage, in Washington, and with ber husband se riously hurt The newx of this came to John while busy in bis political schemes, and. diverted his mind entirely.
