HOW PARISIANS LIVE.
Z SE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE IN THE
GAY cRSNCH CAPITAL.
Interesting Vital statistics—Fourteen
Thousand Eorses and a Few Hun
dred Donkeys Slaughtered Annually
for Food—The Books the People
Bead, and the Taxes They Pay—
Paris an Expensive Pxace to Live
and a Dear Place to Die.
From the Chicago Tribune.
There is published every year by the
rtati'-.cal department in Paris a large yel
low volume which is a perfect mine of in
teresting and curious information con
cerning the city. The volume is called
tbe “Annuaire Stafistique de la Ville de
Paris,” but is little known outside of official
bureaus.
This encyclopedia of facts is compiled
under the direction of an expert statistician,
I)r. Jaques Bertillon, who is the chief of the
statistical department, and is a marvel of
method and c mpleteness. It has only one
fault, and that applies to most French
official publications; it isn’t up to
date. The bureaucrats are never in
aay particular hurry to get out their
returns, and the last volume of the An
nuaire, which was issued only recently,
refers to 1886.
The French people—even the Parisian
portion of them—are not a specially pin
lific race, but the I irths in Paris exceed the
deaths every yoar by 3.1)00. The population
,f Paris is 2,560,000, and the births in the
year mentioned were 60,636. The number
is not equally spread over the whole year.
There are favorite months for births, mar
riages, and deaths. Most births take place
m March, and fewest in November, and
this has been the case for the last ten years.
In order to balance this, most people die in
March. The deaths in that month exceed
by over 1,000 the de itlis in the other
months of the year. March is the coldest
month in the year in Paris, when sharp,
biting winds are likely to cut off a thmatic
people. But the weather doesn’t explain
how Parisians have a preference for marry
ing in May and shunning April. Perhaps
the us iges of the Catholic church have
something to do with it. More than 2,000
French women were married before they
reached IS, but the favorite marryi lg age
for women is from l'J to 24, and for men
from 24 to 34. AH the births were not legiti
n ate. Twenty percent., or 17.098, were ille
gitimate, and of these only 3,359 were ac
km vv[edged by tbe fathers. T e French
law does not compel a mau to recognize his
children. There is a branch of the Assist
ance Fublique, or public aid, which takes
a paternal interest in children and rears
thorn. Ma y children are abandoned by
botli parents and are taken care of by this
body. No fewer than 35,950 children were
as isted or taken charge of during the year.
In former years, when parents, either be
caus or their poverty or some other re son,
waited to get rid of their children,
they dropped them in the revolving tower
of the foundling hospital. Mothers
civ; tup stealthily to the tower at night,
slipped their little living burden in a cradle,
and saw it carried round to the interior.
.V hen the cradle returned it was empty,
and the mother never saw her child again.
The revolving t over is now on exhibition
in the Assistance Publ quo section of the ex
position, but the system for enabling moth
ors to abandon their children is still in
operation. Tbe only difference is that it is
how done openly. In the waiting-room
outside the Bureau des Abandons of the
i <>pice Depos taii-e, the following notice is
posted, so that all parents cailiug there on
business may read;
•'Every person who will present an infant
with the view of abandoning it is warned
tnat questions are asked him (or her) in the
interest of the chi.J; but that it is optional
to rep.y or supply my part of the informa
tion asked. The producti >n of the certifi
cate of birth is nos even obligatory.”
There is thus every facility given to par
ents to go; rid of their p .rental responsibili
ties, but of the 35,950 children who were as
sisted during the year only 3,378 were
totally abandoned. Many of the children
were taken cars of in the hospital until
their mothers s ere able to support them.
In tome cases money and other assistance
was given to parents in their homes, and
17,181 childrei were sent to professional
nurses, eitherin Paris or the provinces.
1 hese nurses are paid bv the
Assistance Fublique and are li
censed. Agencies in the country
take children as boarders, and there is a
staff - of iuspeitors who make regular rounds
to see that tty are properly treated. The
children wh< are entirely ab mdoned are
educated an! then apprenticed to a trade.
The males aje not free until 15, the females
not until tiny are 31. There are agricult
ural and inlustrial colonies for these pauper
chi dren in lie pr vinces. The Assistance
Fublique, vuiich discharges in France the
same functuns as [he board of guardians
do in Englmd, draws money from public
sources, but depends largely on its funds
from volunttry contributions.
Paris is generally considered an expensive
place to livi m. it is certainly a dear
place to die.n. Yet 57,786 interments took
place in Should a tourist have
the misfortune to die in Paris his relatives
will have ti pay heavily for it. The town
draws oveff2lJo,ooo a year from a funeral
tax aud chains half a million from ceme
tery cnarjEs. The church also makes a
little pile ttit of funerals. Funerals in Paris
are uuderkken by a monopolistic company
called tnePompes Funebres. The amount
of mourning which the dead receive is
regulatedby the amount of money which
the relatives of the defunct are prepared to
spend, mi is applies to the c ,urch as well
as the Potipes Funebres. There are nine
classes o(funerals, and the church supplies
nine clasps of ceremonies. If the deceased
is l uritd under class No. 1 the church will
be butijAvith crape, there will be an im
prest yep neral service, and a whole regi
ment of bady-made lachrymose mourners.
But firsjclass funerals are luxuries, and
only twinty-ssven took place during the
year. >f the 57,786 funerals, 49,107 took
place w(b Roman Catholic services, and
althoughl9,ooo of them were in class nine,
where tfe ceremony is short, plain, and
cheap, tlf churches made #450,000 out of
them, iere were 1,037 Protestant funerals
and (186 Jwish, and 15,885 people, or 21 per
cent, wep buried without any religious
cer. rnonlat all. This represents the tree
thought jement. To the number of deaths
given mist be added the suicides, which
numberel 893—679 men and 214 women.
There )no difficulty about ascertaining
the annial consumption of the P risiaus.
and hey lip under a beneficent protectionist
system, tad all their food is taxed. The
great vfills which surround Paris are not
for keepig the Germans out, but for pre
yentingthe city from being invaded by a
'•"eo sujdy of victuals and merchandise,
■all t Ipse things must pass through
the gdes aud be taxed. The inhab
-Ihi tits lire thus led like a menagerie
of "ill,beasts in a cage—through the port
holes and their city waiis. Whether the food
oe an lx, alive or dead, cr only a cabbage
•t ck,it is taxed all the same. Like all
cirpeftaxes, this octroi duty is most se-
T,re f felt by the poor. Things are taxed
Keqiuing to their hulk and not their value,
° ffd the poor man pays as much for his
lotI ot l e °f petit bleu as the rich man for his
'>Ule of Chateau Margaux. The octroi duty,
.ever, enables us to know how much the
STisians co .sume every year.
.} for instance, the item of horseflesh.
er 14,000 horses are slaughtered for
liman food every year. Wbena horse be
ines old and useless the French people are
"i ■ ° e< v inomil -'al to throw him away.
• fty oat him. Horseflesh is eaten more or
( in every community, but generally
iiaer cover of s .metbing'else. In Paris it
,a °peuly. There are three horse
an< * butchers’ shops where noth
hftlai* 1 j° r , e flsh is sold. History would
1,„ „ b ‘‘ 1 °P'ni°n of Alexander had
ia-cn Bucephalus, but French soldiers
t eat their horses in every war. During tbe
Cumean war, when the Rritisa soldiers
were starving, their Fre es comrades lived
sumptuously ou horseflesh. Hipp jphagists
pretend that horseflesh is sweeier
and finer in the Hber than beef, and
probably it is, but horses are only handed
oyer to the knacker when they are ema
ciated old hacks. Tne horses killed in the
Paris abbattoirs are a set of decrepid old
invalids, except a few that have been dis
abled by accidents. Tne consumption of
horseflesh in Paris nas and übl- and since 1881.
There are 309 asses eaten every year. This
small number in eomparis in ith the
horses is explained by the f ict that donkeys
when old are exceedingly tough, and one
donkey will go a long way at the dinner
table. In Paris you will not easily find a
horsesteak for the a-kiug, althougn it may
sometimes be adroitly palmed off on you
without the asking. Horseflesh is ea en by
the poorest classes. It sells at 3or 4 cents
the pound.
Cows on enteriug Paris pay a duty of 7
francs, or nearly *1 50 a head. Calves pav
the same, pigs 15 francs, and sheep 52 francs.
Wny the enormous charge of #lO shoul lbe
levied on sheep is singular, and may be ex
plained by the lac that much of the mutton
supply comes from Germany. Th; French
protectionists reason ou tbe fallacious prin
ciple that the seller pays the duty, whereas
the result of the #lO duty on sheep is that
t..e Parisians have to pay more for then
mutton. Over 20,000 sheep are kli.ed at
Cologne every year and sent to Paris by
train. Not satisfied with the heavy octroi
duty on the sheep, the protectionist
deputies in the chamber have been
trying to impose a heavy tariff ou
sheep at the frontier. They had
made arrangements ii their high tariff
for live sheep, but inadvertently left a loop
hole through which dead sheep entered free
until they arrived t Paris. As it is, Ger
many sends over 800,000 p mmls of mutton
to Paris every year. The aunual consump
tion of beef, veal, and mu.ton in Paris is
300,000,000 pounds. Pork figures for 44,-
009,099 pounds. Ih6 population eats 450,-
009,000 pou ids weight of fruit and veg
etables, aid 414,431,980 eggs. Poultry and
game weigh 48,000,000 pounds, aud the fish
supply about the same. They are consuming
more oysters every year, and now require
29,000,000 pounds, but this weigut lucmdes
the shells. The wine wnich entered Paris
during the year amountoi to 4,409.779 hec
toliters, and paid ad ity of over 46,000,000
fra cs; the beer supply amounted to 270,000
hectoliters.
The Annuaire tells us what sort of books
the Paris p ipulation—or a portion of it—
reads. Several years ago the town council
established free libraries in the town. They
sent commissioners to England aud America
to study the workings of free lioraries, and
then started to establish one in every one of
the eighty quarters of the town. About fifty
quarters are now supplied with libraries.
There were plenty of large libraries in the
town before, such as the National Library,
the Mazarin, and the Si, Genevieve, but
toe town council wanted to set up libraries
that would be specially suitable for the
working classes. Tne books are let out to
read, aud music and drawings can be had
at some of the libraries. Daring
the year 1,187,699 works were read as
follows:
Science, art, and edu
cat on 1C0,36?, or 10 14 percent.
History 108,799, or 9.17 per cent.
Geography and travel. 134,675, or 11.35 percent.
Literature,poetry,and
dramas 158,672. or 13.35 percent.
Novels. 6u5,796, or 51.00 per cent
Foreign languages... 5,355, or .46 percent
Music 53,812, or 4.53 percent.
It will be seen that the readers have a de
cided preference for light literature. There
are sixteen other lioraries partially sup
ported by the town, and the novel readers
at these are 73 per cent, of tbe total.
The French people are the most heavily
taxed in the world. To b -gin with, they are
taxed for the privilege of existing. Every
Frenchma i pays a poll tax. There is a tax
on doors and windows, a tax on trades and
professions, an indirect tax on such luxuries
of life as a tallow candle, and the tax on
poster advertisements is so rigorous that
one cannot post a scrap of paper on his own
door-post saying that ho warns a messenger
boy without having to put a stamp on it.
Then there is the octroi tax, which is the
main ;ourco of revenue in every town.
About half the revenue of the city of Paris
comes from the octroi dues. The annual
budget of Paris is about as large as the
budget of Belgium. The annual receipts
amount to $74,999,009, aud the expenditures
keep well ar.ead. There is a muuicipal
debt of which, if no more is
contracted, will not be cleared off for sixty
years yet. The interest of this debt is a
pro uinent item in the expenditure.
The sources of revenue are multifarious,
but after the octroi receipts the largest
amount is the town’s share in the tax oil
house property, to wnich owners aud occu
pants both contribute. The town council
prides itself on being an advanced and so
cialistic body, and has invented an unique
way of de fling with a portion of this tax.
The council advocates a graduated tax on
houses, aud if it had full swing in this mat
ter it would tax the ricn property owners
out of existence. As it is, it manages to
tnrow some of the burdens of the poor on
the rich. All occupants who pay less than
a yearly rental of $l9O are exempt from
taxation. The council itself pays its taxes
with money obtained by raising the rate on
the occupiers of the other houses. The total
number of bouses iu Paris is 269,692, and
the number that escapes taxation by being
under the yearly- value of $lO9 is 24,485.
Tne means of transport in Paris are like
Sam Weller’s knsw ledge of London, ex
tensive and peculiar. Tuere are plenty of
omnibus and car lines in the city, but they
are organized in a way that would not be
tolerated a day in New York. 1 i the first
place only the exact number for which the
cars are built are allowed to ride. This rule
is rigorous, and when the car is full t ;e con
ductor hangs out a sign to that effect. Tee
cars only stop at reguiar stations and
passengers have to take numbered tickets
and wait their turn. The cars are dis
tributed over the town without a iy regard
to traffic. In some streets they run almost
empty, in others they are altogether
inadequate. The fares are irrespective of
distance, and are 3 cents for|the outside and
6 cents inside. The number of people carried
every year is as follows: Horse cars, 59,090,-
009; omnibuses, 107,000,000; river boats,
21,000,000.
There is still a great deal of information
in the Aunuaire. We learn, for instance,
that the number of recruits drawn from
Paris in a year is 14,506, and that of these
260 were totally unaole to read or write, 238
could read only, and 3,135 bad only ele
mentary knowledge of readiug and writing.
The horses are counted, so that the govern
ment may know how many they can rely
on in case of war. There are 97,101 horses.
The carrier pigeons are also enumerated,
with the view of military emerg-ncies, and
there is a regiment of 4,286. During the
yeor 2,191,319 articles were deposited iu the
pawnshops of Paris. The pawnshop is a
national institution in France. It is not
carried on with the view to make money or
to give charity, though originally the mont
de piete was a charitable institution, estab
lished in the Middle Ages by Italian monks.
The mont de piete in Paris charges 8 per
cent, on loans. The value of the ariicles
pawned during the yoar was $1,590,090. A
Frenchma calls the pawnshop his aunt.
The receipts of all the theaters and places
of amusement in Paris are recorded, and a
tenth of them handed over to the assistance
publique for the benefit of the poor. Tne
receipts have shown a steady falling off
since 1881. The opera hads the list with a
yearly income of 3,090,000 francs; the first
national theater—i he Coinedie Fra q&i-ie—
follows with 1,803,000 francs; then the
Opera Comique, 1,7j0,000 francs; the Eden
theater, generally conducted as a variety
entertainment, 1,382,589 francs; and after
that the Porte Saint Martin, where the
divine rsarah usually plays waen in Paris,
1 200,000 francs. The total receipts from
theaters, panoramas, and circuses amounts
to 36,000,000 francs.

“ Man overboard! Stand by to lower

every man on board springs to his post
at the dread cry, knowing a fellow
creature’s life is at stake ! Yet that lib
is in no more danger than that of tile
man or woman who trifles with what
may seem “a simple blood disorder,”
but which in reality is fast sowing the
seeds of a fatal disease, when the early

impaired digestion, tone up the vital
organs and ward off consumption. It
should take the place iu the family
corresponding to that occupied by the
life preserver on shipboard. If taken
in time, and given a fair trial, “Golden
Medical Discovery ” is guaranteed
to cure. This it'will do if taken in tho
earlier stages of consumption, but after
a large part of the lungs have broken
down, no medicine can stay its fatal
progress. How important then that the
