The city is loo'jed upon as th« center of pay ety and fashion rot only for France, V:; for the world; and it is a common saying that all the world comes to Paris to shop. The American tourist sees a crowd of loafers, old and youngr, slrut- V.:.z up bvA down the boulevards and the s'iish'onabie. well-dressed throng 1 of Indies and gentlmen driving on the Chp.mps Elysees and in the Bols de Bouiocne and thinks that this is Paris.

It is estimated that There are 9S.QOG factoriop and workshops in the city, and in addition there are thousands of out siders who work at their home*. The usual factories are very small, the aver age number of hands being six. A great dpal of work is done by sweat shops, who give the stuffs out «nd take in the completed product, zl ZZ much a piece. Tliin is largely so as to gowns and hats. upon", which .it is estimated. . GO.OOO girls are' kept working for about eight months of the year. The girls receive very low priqes. and ordinary sewing girls" can make-<!ess than a dollar a day while working, and some noi more than half that amount. The designers are, of course, paid .well, but the average wages, are far below those paid in the United States. In the factories 'themselves the hours are long. I have gone through the busi <^st parts of this city at "'o'clock in the evening and have kocii sewing girls working in tho cellars far below the level of the streets. The stores here close be tween 7 and S P. M. Many of them have women clerks, and one of the curious "The Lafayette," Which the Danphtera of the American Revolution Erected. It Stands In the Tmllerlea. sights of. Paris is these clerks leaving work. Some of the stores have iron shut ters which slide down from the top, mak ing a wall of sheet iron over the whole frqnt. This ws.ll is let down before the clerks leave, and there Is a little door about three feet high and two feet wide which is left open until they get out. They crawl through this door at night and crawl in in the morning a long pro cession of women and men, going in and out like so many dogs. They straighten up, however, immediately thej- get out nide. and walk off so jauntily that .you I would never imagine they had been work ' injr all day. SOME THINGS PARIS DOES. I have spoken of Paris as a manufac turing city. Jt makes everything under the sun, from pins to locomotives, from buttons to balloons, and from gloves to rowns. It has 22,000 people who are en gnged in making only parts of ladies" dresses, in contradistinction to complete srov/ns. and these turn out a product amounting to 515,000,000 a year. It has "tens of thousands at work on corsets, not only for Paris, but for ail parts of France and for shipment abroad. The French corset is an expensive luxury, and a good one from a high-priced maker costs .is much as S4io. You can get others shaped to your person for as low as $0, and if you are so plebian as to buy .1 ready made article you will find a. large variety ,01" snch"sgods at still lower prices. "■.J^a'rfs., manufactures a great deal of fur niture.".. Ic'**bas about 5.0.--0 workshops' of this kind," each employing three or four hjincta." The furniture is costly, and it does not compare in- quality with that of the United States made .by machinery; Franco has .1 high tariff on such importa tion. 1 ?, however, and at present about tho only American furniture sold is office chairs and roll-top desks. Then- are 2,000 shops here which make watches, turhins* out a yearly product worth about $5,000,000. and there arc in.-ny thou sand people engaged in making ar ticles ofParte, which means notions and fancy goods of all sorts, including jew elry." artificial flowers, buttons, ar-.d other things in leather, ivory, horn, and bone. Indeed, the French make almost every thing you can imagine, anU they make, everything well: WELL FED AND PROSPEROUS. I like these common people of Peris. They are more civilized than the lower classes of English cities. They wear belter clothes, are better fed, and ficom to.be. happy and prosperous. There is drinking everywhere, but no intoxication. Every one has -vine with his meals.' hut 2 have yet to see a drunke man in Paris. In London you meet drunken men on almost every block in the poorer parts of the city* and the common sight is a drunken woman, dancing with her fellows while, sho holds a baby at -her breast;. . Tho averace London laborer lives from hand to mouth. Tho average Frenchman' patronizes the savings banks. He lives within his' means, and there Is no eucn. thirnr as tho regular spending of th«--sur- ; plus'on drink, as In England. If our.-trea ties " can bo modified so tint . American goods can be brnusht'.in.on an emial fcot ing with others the French will become, good customers, for they appreciate what, : :Tmrßi#MMp^ Js- cheap and good, and they have the money to buy. t " * CHEAP. TELEPHONES AND TELT2 ■ . GRAPHS. ' Tii'loed, there are many things that the French do as well as 'the United States. Thrir postal service is better than ours. It. includes a system of pneumatic tubes, by which, for C cents, you can send" a postnl card flynig to any p.irtof the rity. You can send a reply, card for the same nmount^and this got an answer as quickly, orT/even . more quicVly, vhan by telegraph.' 'i'. 1 The". telegraphs ur.der tho govcrninent^^jid . the charges are *ess than half t ßose of America. The rate is 10, cents' for the first ten words, and 1 cent for each additional word. to. every part of France. You can send a telegram to Great Britain " for 4 cents a word, ard a cable to the United States for 25 cents a word: The ' post-office department nas a parcel system by which small packages weigh. Six pound? will be taken to any railroad station in France for 12 cents, or, foi ing up to Lworty pounds can be sent. 17 cents, it vr'll be delivered at your, house. A ten-pound package costs 2 cents, and a twenty-pound one only SO cents. The stores take advantage of these rates, and many thousands of packages are ?ent out by them daily to their custonvsns in all parts of the republic. The telephones are also connected to rome extent with the post-office. They are to be found at every station, and also In stands on the streets. The fee for •all parts of Paris" is 5 oente for a talk of five minutes and 5 cents for three minutes up to fifteen miles outside Paris, and 10 cents additional for the same time for every sixty milos beyond. TPIE TOBACCO MONOPOLY. In buying stamps outside thepost-office in the French cities you go to the cigar shops, for the jrovernment here sells all the tobacco, and the tobacco agents han dle stamps as well.> The shops are called debits de la regie: uiey have red lamps over them, and you can tell them as far as you can see. The prices are the same everywhere rind the tobacco is univer sally bnd. The 1 most popular brands of the "native cigars are the Londres, which you buy at C, cents apiece, or the demi- Londres at 3. Foreign cigars and cigarettes are very high and are sold only by government permission. All importations of tobacco ore rigidly watched, and none is allowed to be grown without authority from the The Columbia Talkiog'-Machine, The Modern Disc Machine, "With its indestructible record, is so widely known that it is not necessary to explain its many ad vantages over other types. . The $35 Machine is of eleg-ani design and finish, and the $25 one, though somewhat smaller, is as perfect in .* construction. BOTH machines, use both 7-inoh and 10- inch records.

The gov ernment has an immense factory here. on the banks \of the : Seine, which employs over 2,000 hands, and consumes more than 19,000,000 pounds of tobacco a year. The ichief officials are jraduates of the poly technic schools, and -they have spent two years in studying 'tobacco and the pro cess of its manufacture. The government gets over $70,000,000 a year out of this mon opoly, and the expenses of the army are largely borne by it.- There Is also a tax upon salt and on matches,; both of vwhlch! are government monopolies. , . A WBLLr-MANAGED; CITY. ' " ; In my English letters; I wrote of the municipal improvements which the chief cities of that country are making. I found that many of them are now tearing down old buildings- and widening their business streets. Paris began to do this more than fifty years apo, and as a result, she now has the best streets of the world. It was in 1532 that the work began. The first im provement cost $10,000,000, and one-half of the expense was borne by the State. Two years later an expenditure of $30,000,000 was authorized, and later cm there was an appropriation of 538,000,000 at one time. This year the government has voted to spend $40,000,000 in extending the public works and beautifying the city. : Two and one-half million dollars is to go for enlarg ing the markets, which are already the largest of the world. One million six hun dred thousand dollars is to be spent on the completion of t «the Palace of Justice, and large sums. on tlie. extension 'of the boule vard system. The Champs Elysees is to be lengthened, new bridges are to be built over the Seine, and new technical schools are to be established. Paris steadily moves onward. Like her people, she delights in new clothes, and appreciates that it pays to primp and powder. She is making many sanitary improvements, and with her wide boulevards and her many parks and open places, she has to-day as good a set of lungs or breathinc places as any city of Europe HOW PARIS KEEPS CLEAN. I The city authorities see that the town is weli kept. The streets are swept every day by an army of 5,000 men and boys, and at night there are street sweeping machines which push all the dust and dirt into the gutters, from where it is washed in the early morning into the sewera with tho hose. It costs Paris almost $2,000,000 a year to flush the sewers and for the re moval of rubbish. It costs more than that to light and clean the public promenades, and about J5.000.000 to keep the streets in repair. Altogether the streets are better kept than .those of any other Eurcpean city, with the possible exception "of Ber lin. They are well paved with wood and asphalt, and you can drive upon them for miles without a jolt. --. PARIS FROM THE EIFFEL TOWER. I doubt, in fact, whether there is a more beautiful city in the world. I took the ele vator yesterday and mounted to the top of the Eiff«l tower for a bird's-eye view of the French metropolis, l was a thousand feet above it, so high up that the men walking along the streets below looked like crawling bugs, and those carrying umbrellas like gigantic beetles. The street cars were no larger than baby express wagons, and the automobiles made me think of toy engines flying around. At that height the city looked more Hko a map or model town cut out for the occa sion. Acres assumed the size of town lots, and mighty buildings lookad no bigger than the Noah's arks which you buy in the toy stores. Everything was wonderfully cloan, as though It had Just come from the hands of the polishers. It was a vast collection of cream walla and lea<3-colored roo's, cut by gray streets, with the silvery Seine winding its way threngh from one end to tlie other. Just under me was the Hotel dcs Invalides, its goW«n dome covering the tomb of tho great Napoleon, and on the other side of the Seine the beautiful Place de la Concorde, where Marie An toinette and thousands of the French no bility lost their lives by the guillotine. I could see the Tuilleries, and wit hmy glasses distinjrutehed the statue of La fayette, put up by our Daughters' of the American Revolution. Further up tho Sein« was the Isle de la Cite, with the Notre Dame Cathedral, and back of the. Tuilleries th© Madelaine, with, its green roof. The Pantheon, the Luxembourg, and the Chamber of Deputies, where the French Congress me*ts, stood boldly out, and also the long lino of the Champs Ely see, with the Arc de Trlomphe at its end, and beyond It the expanse of green known as the Bois d» Boulogne. I took the telescope and picked out ths Place dps Etats Unis, or place of the United States, with its statue of George Washington, which was put up in 1900, the street of the American embassy, and even the American churches, of which there are several in this great capital of the French. The view of all Paris was as clear cut as a cameo, and with the telescope every building was distinct in the living map below. To the naked eye it seemed a min iature city, and as I looked down upon it I could not realize that it covered an area of 20,000 acres, and more than twenty seven hundred thousand human beings were actually living and working in the doll houses below. It was indeed worth coming to Paris »to see. FRANK G. CARPENTER. Ting-A-Linff. (Baltimore American.)

W NT By Margaret Douglas. An "at home day" is a useful institu tion, both for hostess and guest, and vis iting must have been a fruitless undertak ing before this practice became common. The choice of a day is a somewhat im portant matter, as one must endeavor not to let It clash more than is necessary with the "at home" days of one's Intimat* friends. ■ If a weekly at home Is too much of a tax. two days In the month, through the season, may be chosen; and this may ba cither the first and third Monday, say, or else the 3d or 7th of the month, on whatever days of the week they may hap pen to fall. When once the choice is made, the hostess must be careful not to depart from it. No matter what pleasure she may have to refuse, she must on.no ac count neglect her friends for the sake of her own enjoyment. When a person has set up-a "day," r invited people from a distance to • to it, she Is. responsible for their ps.'^ ness to the extent of a welcome and a cup of tea, and nothing but illness or bereavement should interfere with the function. ■'.','.. The day when one is at home is printed on one's card, opposite the address. This card is left when paying calls, or sent by post to people to whom one does not owe a call. "AN ELASTIC FUNCTION." The "at home" day is an elastic func tion, and may either be brightened by music and recitations, or may consist or nothing, more substantial than tea and talk. • When there are no entertainments, it is usual for. visitors. to take their leave after twenty minutes or half an hour. The hostess greets her guests with a cordial hand-shake. Just here, a word about the up-to-date hand-shake. A year ago, or less, people used to p'.i'.l one an other's hands down from on high, when shaking hands, as if pulling a bell-rope. The proper thin o ' now in hand-shaking is to take your friend's hand with your fi-gen and mo- 2 it slowly to the left and then to the ; 'ght, at the level of the waist line, the an.i and body toeing drawn back, with just a suggestion of reserve in tho attitud' . *• About that much discussed subject, in troductions the custom ' is one which should not b. allowed to die out. It should be looked at as a natural out growth of true kindness, good breeding and the courtesy that we owe to each other. Where a hostess, as is frequently the case at a tea, is assisted by a number of young girls, it is easy to arrange the introductions of each guest to .' two or three others, so that no one may be left unoccupied. The younger woman is al ways presented to the older one; the form is, "Mrs. Knickerbocker, allow me to pre sent Miss Manhattan to you." The man is always presented to the woman, "Mrs. Black, allow, ma to present Mr. White to you.'Vn"-" •'• ■' ■-■•■' 'i- : ' '■ ' ■■ r ■'• '■■'- ■'"•'' ■■-'■•"'■ •'Two ladies can shake hands-on being introduced. It is considered goodform. Young women, when introduced to young men, should not offer to. shake hands. HOW TO SERVE TE A. : There are different : ways of serving tea at afternoon "at homes;" the ? <jhoice Is regulated somewhat by the number of people present. At.: a smalP tea, the hostess pours out the tea herself and passes it to her guests, or she is assisted by the young ladies of the party. A ser vant may bring in a tray, with the cups of tea ready poured- out,- and pass It Mo «ach new arrival in turn, with the plates of thin- sandwiches; and- cfu.es. t For large > receptions, the tea is served In the dining-room, and lsofa nior» elab orate character.
