THESEWERSOFPARIS WHAT THE VISITOR MAY SEE ON A TRIP TRROUGH THEM.

Great Tunnels, With Waterwars and Boats, Railways and Cars—A Perfect Subway System—Thrilling Blasts on |

Signal Horns and What They Mean.

One of the most unique bits of sicht fecing anywhere in the world may be en ioved in Paris during the spring and sum mer months. It consists of nvthing less | than a trip by ri and beat across the city, not thre htl reets and along tl Seine, not even by loon or flying ma chine overhead, but dergrovnd, through the great sewer

In order to Visit these subterranean won- ders, you must write a note to the pretect de la ville, asking for passes T! eTs are epen for tidbn tw 1 week from May 1 until always providin; that the days fixed are perfectly clear. If the permits sent you sa) “l rm next Friday.’ and on that « there should be clouds, no smount of American money

could bribe a way down. nad at the same hour,

The parties descend one entering by means of a stone flicht of

steep stairs, at the Place de la Madeleine and the other at the Place du Chatelct. The steps run down between gray stone walls and are fust wide enough to admit

of one person's descending at a time.

If you make your descent at the Place de la Madeleine, on reaching the bottom of the steps you find yourself standing on a long platform, with a wide canal in which water is running slowly past you to the right, down into darkness and dis- tance. Looking to the left, you see a brilliantly lighted, arched stone tunnel, through which the canal runs. with a nar- row stone ‘‘tow path’’ on each side.

Overhead you see a huge pipe, held to the center and top of the arched roof by iron hoops. It is through this pipe that Paris is supplied with all her ‘‘cormmon’’ water, for in this city they have two grades of water. That in this large pipe is taken from the Seine and is used for fiushing the streets, to water the gardens, to extin- guish fires—-in fact, for everything exoept cooking and drinkiug.

Next to the big prpe is another of dbout one-half its capacity, and through this is carried the pure spring water whick the people drink.

Next you will see a heavy cable maée of many ropes, all covered, so as not to‘;come in contact with each other or be damaged by dampness. By these cables are tuans- mitted allthe different forces used in the city. There are the pneumatic wsubes, through which you may send a detter across the city, as ‘‘change’’ is sent im our retail shops. Then there arc the clectric wires, for messages or light, and the pipes transmitting condensed air, which the city sells te those wishing to use it.

Glancing along the walls of the arch, you see mumbers at regular intervals which correspond with those of the houses in the street above and make it easy to locate any trouble and rectify it. You can, if you happen toliveinanyaf the streets under which you pass, see your own address at a little underground open- ing that corresponds to the big doorway above, where yourun in and oué «every day.

Having azed around and seen tthese main features of the sewer, you will be asked to take a seat in a wide, flat bottom- ed boat, large enough to hold 20 persons, and with your ‘‘captain”’ aboard, dressed in white duck, you begin your trip, drawn by four men, two on cach side of thecanal, who, like the captain, are dressed in white and are se clean that the nickel buttons on their clothing twinkle in the taright electric light.

At each «treet crossing you can look to right and left down unending vistas of arched sewers, lighted always by buge electric reflectors,

Sometimestthere are seven or eight of these boats iin line going down the Rue Royal, which tis the widest sewer in Paris, and when you get out to‘‘change cars” at the Rue de Rivoli there are sometimes as many as 200 persons on the platform.

Here you Jeaxe the boat and take your seat on a sort of han’. car, which runs en rails and spans # ;narrow canal, as an en- gine does its rendbed. The cars are clean and bright, aml are fitted up with nickel. They are pushed by a crew of four men, always in spotless white, by means of a long handle bar, which projects over the footpath of stone on each side of the canal |

At intervals along the route you pase openings in the wall, through which | comes roaring and dashing the waste wa- ter from some huge fountain in the street above, and at regular intervals, also, there are raysof daylight te be seen through the manholes that lead up from the sewers to the streets by means of iron bars driven anto the stone walls.

A River on Fire,

The newspapers tell of a remarkable display at a town on the Caspian sea during a visit of the Russian grand dukes. The governor of the town had conceived the idea of greeting his guests with a ‘“‘sea of flame.’’ Accordingly he poured a quantity of naphtha on the water, where it spread out over an area of several miles. After dark the inflam- matory substance was ignited, and the bluish flames swept away in all direc- tions over the dark waters of the sea. It was a striking and impressive sight, and yet it was by no means new.

Nearly every week our own despised Chicago river becomes a ‘‘sea of flames,’’ but few people take the trouble of being On the up- per stretches of the river, near Bridge- port, where the water grows foul from the accumulation of masses of sewage, a certain highly inflammable gas is gen- erated, and it rises in great quantities from the water in the form of bubbles. It is a favorite sport of the tugmen and of others who visit that stretch of the river to touch a match to the gas and watch the flames shoot away in every direction over the water. The fire lasts only a few seconds, but the display is brilliant while it continues, and, strange as it may seem, the fire depart- ment has been called out more than once to extinguish the blazing river.— Chicago Record.

Her Hand Was Saved.

William Lorts, who was conductor on a Union Pacific passenger train which ran off a bridge near Byers, Colo., re- lates an incident of the wreck that close- ly trends upon tbe horrible. ‘‘The chair car,’’ says Mr. Lorts, ‘‘wason end in the water. After we had carried the in- jured passengers out and were about to abandon the car, I heard faint groans. I took my lantern and climbed down into the car. I found a woman with her head just above the water. I got assist- ance and tried to lift her out, but she was fast, and we could not move her. I discovered that she was held fast by her hand between two seats. I called for an ax and told her I would have to cut her hand off to save her life, as tke car was sinking fast. She looked at me pit- eously, but said nothing. I took off my coat and put it over her head so she could not see the cruel blows with the ax. Then sho commenced to beg me not to chop off herarm. By pure accident I found a piece of iron down in the water, and with this I managed to pry the seats far enough apart te release her. It was the heaviest lifting of my life. We carried her off the car and as we reach- ed safety the car sank from sight. Two seconds later and we would all have been drowned. —Kansas City Journal.

He Couldn't Pay the Fine. Charles K. Darling, editor of the **Early Laws of Massachusetts,”’ fur- nishes the following copy of a petition preferred to the general court in 1656:

To the Honored Generall Court of Megistrates and Deputies Assembled at Boston, These Humbly Presented:

Honoured in the Lord Whereas your pore Petitioner John Smith Inhabitant in Charles- towne Having Ignorantiy—through mistake Transgresed against an order of Court, And being sentensed by the Court at Charlestowne to pay a fine of five pounds, I humbly Request of this Honoured Court Remission of the same, having unwittingly offended, for I having by hard Labour earned a littell money of one of my naybours Hee would pay mee nothing but strong-watters, wheroff I had no need, But desired usefuller pay for my families occa- sions, Bat not obtaining other, I must take iit, And A stranger coming to mee bought ten shillings worth of it off mee, and hee had it off mee as it cost mee, Now I humbly entreat this Honoured Court te bee pleased to pass by my Transgression, and to forgive mee my fault, my purpose and promise Beeing to bee more watchfull in tyme to come; soe trusting in your gentellness I cease to he troublesome untoo you, humbly praying the Lord to pros- per you all in your souls and Bodies Heer, And to Bless you with all happiness in the world to come. Soe desires your Pore Peti- tioner, JOHN SMITH.

It was thought ‘‘meete that the fine be remitted Ten shillings so as to be payed in to the Courtes Treasy, upon notice thereof.’’

The Rothschild Eusiness,

The Rothschilds have done a great denl for Frankfort in the way of benovelence as well as husiness, and itis the custom of the family to distribute a large sum of money among the deserving poor of their sect annually upon the Jewftsh New Year. The most conspicuous of their benevo lences isa public library, which occupies the former residence of Carl Mayer Roths- child and was founded by his daughter several years ogo.

The banking business of the family is conducted in the same old fashioned build ing it has gecupied ever since the firm was established in the early part of this cen-

.

tury. Itis situated where once stood the gate'of the Judengasse, on the boundary line between the Jewish and the Christian

hogany that you find in the newer bank ing houses of the city. There is an air of severity and frugality about the place. Ti calculations of the clerks are made on ths hacks of old envelopes, and they still uss lamps and candles instead of gas and e! trie light. Most of the employees are mein bers of the family. ‘The boys of the Paris and London branches come to Frankfort to begin their husiness carcer and learn lessons in industry, accuracy and fidelity, and they generally serve a term in eac! branch ef the frm in order that they mas know the poculiar conditions and sur roundings,

The business is conducted with erent secrecy. Nobody knows anything about it, and therefore there is a great deal of conjecture and gossip. Some years ago one of the employees of the house who was not related to the family was a defaulter foralarge sum of money. He was not punished and not even prosecuted because it was said the members of the firm feared they would be called upon to give evidence concerning their business relations if they took him into court, and it would cost them a great deal more money to have their transactions exposed than the defal- cation amounted to.—Chicago Record.

The best thing with which a mother can crown her

ology. Every wo- ee)iman should thor- PPoughly understand

her own nature.

, Every woman should under- we \stand the su- preme import-

¥! as S P Wilance of keeping yy ' NS herself well and S \\ Sq: strong in a

womanly way. 7 : ‘ Nearly all of the pains and aches, nearly all the weakness and sickness and suffering of women is due to disorders or diseast of the organs dis- tinctly feminine.

A woman who suffers in this way is un- fitted for wifehood and motherhood. Ma- ‘ternity is a menace of death. Thousands of women suffer in this way because their ‘innate modesty will mot permit them to submit to the disgusting examinations and local treatment insisted upon by the average

hysician. These ordeals are unnecessary.

. R. V. Pierce, an eminent and skillful specialist, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgi- €ai Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., has dis- ‘covered a wonderful remedy with which ‘women may treat and speedily cure them- selves in the privacy of their own homes. ‘This medicine is known as Dr. Pierce’s Fa- vorite Prescription. It acts directly on the ‘delicate and important organs concerned, It makes them well and strong. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and rests the tortured nerves. Taken during the critical period, it banishes the usual discomforts and makes baby’s advent easy and almost painless. Thousands of women who were once weak, sickly, nerv- ous fretful invalids, are now happy, healthy wives, because of this medicine. It is sold by all good medicine dealers and no honest dealer will advise a substitute,

““When I commenced using Dr. Pierce’s med- icines some three years ago,” writes Mrs. Ella J. Fox, care of W.C. Fox, of Eldorado, Saline Co., Ills. *‘ I was the picture of death. I had no heart totake anything. Weight was 125. My husband had been to see five different doctors about my trouble (female weakness). I commenced takin Dr, Pierce’s medicines, also wrote to him for ad- vice. I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, and one vial of his ‘ Pleasant Pel- Jets,’ and am now a weil woman.”
