IIoit Pnrl* ErJoy» Herself.
Every inch of open ground in Paris Ss
made avaflnhie, and the tiniest park lias
its benches free, and the more aristocratic
chairs, which may be bad for two or
three sous an hour. Tbe beautiful Bois
do Cologne, rapidly recovering from the
destruction and desolation of the last
days of the Communal war, has its
groups scattered in the shade of thicket
or tree over all the 2.705 acres, while a
constant stream of carriage? in the main
roads and of bicyclists wherever they are
allowed pours through ali day long,
though notably larger and more brilliant
in the afternoon. Here, as everywhere
else, every possible provision is made for
enjoyment. The cafes plan ingeniously
to make the most of the plot of ground
at side or front, and the little gardens are
marvels of art. A glass of sugar water
or cup of coffee gives right to space as
long as a drop lingers, and by early even
ing every place is filled.
That there is a working Paris is very
certain, but the fact is so disguised that
playing Paris seems the only tangible
tiling, and watching these throngs that
corns and go one wonders when and how
the work is done. Wandering acrobats,
who lay their strip of carpet in any
vacant space, and are instantly sur
rounded by a group eager to be enter
tained; jugglers of all grades. Punch and
Judy shows, puppet shows, trained dogs,
qnd a thousand other varieties of amuse
ment are before one at every turn, and
when these lesser means fail, there is
the Trocadero, with its enormous con
cert hall, il3 beautiful corridor, where
one may walk or linger to ga?,e at the
rushing cascade, the innumerable colored
lights, and the gay throng which pours
through it till midnight. The lower end
of the Champs Elysees and the gardens
of the Tuileries are lined with attractions
less pretentious but apparently as popu
lar, and turn where one will, from tho
stately Odeon to the smallest cafe chan-
tant on the narrowest and most obscure
of streets, it is always Paris, amusing it-
Belf to its utmost bent, and well content
so long as the stimulus cor inucs.—Helen
Campbell’s Paris Letter.
Eel* m Folnonon* a* Vipers.
In a recent number of The Nuova An
tologia, published at Rome, Professor
Masso gives the results of some experi
ments that he lfea lately made with the
blood of eels and of certain marine fishes.
If the conclusions drawn by the profes
sor from these experiments are sound, it
w ould seem that, were an eel pr >vided
with an apparatus to inject its own
blood into a wound as the serpent in-
ji-cts bis venom when he bites, an eel in
the mud would be every bit as objec
tionable a thing as a snake in the grass.
Professor Masso, being anxious to ascer
tain whether the biood of those salt
water fishes that died when put into
fresh water differed from the bl<y>d of
those that survived the transition from
salt water into fresh, compared the serum
of tin? blood of tiie dogfish and of other
salt water fishes that died when placed
in fresh water with the blood of eel? and
certain otlu-r fishes that were not hurt
by the change from sait water to fresh.
Of the first mimed, he found the serum
of the blood clear and limpid and tasting
of salt water; while of the others the
soium was of a yellowish color, with
white and blue reflections, like petro
leum, and of a burning and acrid taste.
Experimenting with the latter by in
jecting it under the skin of rabbits, frogs,
mice and pigeons, lie discovered that it
was a deadly poison, its effects being
similar to viper poison, inasmuch as
death was caused by paralysis of the
respiratory organs. Experimenting on
dogs with this fish poison and with viper
poison, the professor found that, minute
as was the quantity of the latter poison
required to cause the death of the animal
in a few minutes, it was one-third more
powerful than the fish poison—that is to
say. it required three times the quantity
of the fish poison to produce the same
effect that a certain quantity of the viper
poison produced. In regard to tho cure
of snake bites, Professor Masso says that
the stimulants usually given are wholly
useless and that the only hope of recov
ery lies in tracheotomy and artificial
pumping of air into the lungs.—St.
James’ Gazette.

Sinking: nn Artesian Well.
In attempting to decide as to when an
artesian well will succeed this general
principle must be borne in mind: Vv'ater
that falls on the earth’s surface either
flows oil in rills and streams, or evapor
ate*?, or sinks into the earth. That which
sinks flows downward until it meets a
noii-porous stratum; it follows the sur
face of this, still downward and onward,
to break out at the baso of some ravine
or slope n.s a spring, or to fill some hid
den reservoir. When, as it sometimes
happens, tho reservoir is large, its pres?
sure forces springs to tlie surface, far
out in the valley, or even out at sea. At
tho foot of canyons and in the lower levels
of small valleys it is always reasonable to
boro for artesian water, but first, the
fountain head must be higher; second,
the surface water dips toward the well;
third, tho porous and non-porous strata
must alternate.
The ordinary diagrams of artesian
basins are insuiiicient, for they make tho
supply appear in narrow veins, which is
more rare. Tho re:d artesian basin is
best illustrated by a pile of saucers with
porous paper placed between them. The
water fills between and rises to tho rim.
Tho nearer tho center of a basin a well
is the deeper it has to extend to strike
water. Artesian wells are not always
flowing wells.
Thousand of wells that aro rightly
called artesian bring the water from deep
strata nearly to the surface, but require
some pumping. The ideal well is, ov
course, the flowing well, delivering its
supply like a fountain at the surface or
liigher. Once put down, an artesian
well is, of course, complete and requires
no further expense to run it and nothing
for repairs.—Charles II. Shinn in Over
land. Monthly.
Doing tho Wrong Thing.
Wesley, my colored man of all work,
possesses in a wonderful degree the abil
ity to understand just what you don’t
say. One day I called him to the garden
gate and pointing down a walk on either
side of which grew some shrubbery, said:
“Wesley, I want you to trim the
shrubbery outlie left baud side of this
walk.”
“Yes, ’uni.”
Aware of his aptitude for misunder
standing, I repeated, “Remember now,
Wesley, the left hand side.”
“Yes, ’um. ”
A few hours iater he came to say the
work was done. I went to the gate and
ftmnd the shrubbery on the right hand
closely cut while the left remained un
touched. “Wesley.” I said angrily,
didn't I tell you to trim the left hand side
and not tlie right?”
“Yes, um, hut I begun at ter eerr uo
the walk. ”—Detroit Free Press.
Various Causes of Baldness.
Doctors talk of innervation of the scalp,
and atrophy, but it is not considered
their place to say that the cause of inner
vation, eczema, and paralysis of the skin
is want of needed cleanliness. Think
what state the face would be in if it were
washed only once in sb: weeks or longer,
and imagine the condition of the scalp
with its thousands of oil glands and its
hairy growth to detain all the abounding
dust. The wonder is not, that people lose
their hair, but-that they have any to lose.
The cause of much baldness and thinning
of the hair is the choking of the bulbs by
neglect. The next potent causes are dry,
overheated air of rooms, which destroys
the vitality of everything in reach,
withers bloom, draws the skin into
wrinkles, and dries the hair by the roots
—and also nervous dyspepsia, which de
nies nutrition to the entire system, in
cluding tlie hair. Those causes, want of
care and cleanliness, dry lieat and indi
gestion, lie at the root of poor hair.
Wearing hats or bonnets frequently,
or long at a time, is an unsuspected
cause of grayness and failing locks. Cus
tom should be amended to allow woman
to remove bonnets wherever possible—on
long journeys, in heated conceit rooms,
theatres and public galleries. The “li
brary headache,” familiar to women
who spend much time studying in public
libr-.u-ies in senseless habit with their
bonnets on, is speedily destructive to tho
hair as well as the nerves. The unnec
essary heat and pressure on tho brain
while reading is most mischievous. Wo
men in class rooms and reading rooms
should lay aside their head gear, if only
for a half hour. The harm done by go
ing about hours and days with a bonnet
on, shopping or visiting, is tlie cause,
doubtless, of much falling of the hair
which the owner is at a loss to account
for.—Shirlev Dare’s Letter.
Well. Mr. Editor, I am under many
obligations to you or some other fel
low for sending me a copy of your paper
of August 31st. If you didn’t send it,
then it’s the other fellow I’m under ob
ligations to.
But, O mv! Didn't you give me fits
(or something else! in that issue?
The good people around Macedonia
are as hospitable and courteous to I
strangers as the writer ever met, as he |
has stated before; but there are some i
who are disposed to be very critical. I
The«e alone are the people I referred to I
in my article to the Messenger. Xot
because they didn’t extend fraternal t
greetings to me, or invite me cordially
to their homes, but because they criti
cized me, the language they used and ■
the manner in which they expressed
themselves about my wearing a badge 1
to a singing convention.
Now, tin* editor says, in lambasting!
me, “that he “Oscar Wilde’) says his,
presence was objected to because he f
wore an Alliance badge. Inquiry
among the residents of the community j
referred to lias resulted in a sweeping j
denial of the charges made, and “Oscar I
Wilde’ must produce some stronger |
proof than is contained in his ill- j
tempered article before the public will l
credit his statement,”
Now, the tenor of his article is his'
imagination of costume, vocal accom-:
plishments, excessive use of pomade, |
etc, Land of the saints! Hasn’t he |
placed me in an awful condition? But !
listen! It seems to me lean hear the
voice of tlie Secretary of the Chatta
hoochee Convention coming to my as
sistance, (unknowingly. ) It gets louder
and louder until it is caught up by the
editor of the Waco Messenger and given
to the world in the issue of August
30th. In reply to “Oscar Wilde” lie
says: “The gentleman says he was
treated unkindly by the Alliance of
our neighborhood. The reason lie was
treated as he was, was because he wore
a large badge, which we all knew was
imprudent to wear save at an Alliance
meeting.” Does this coincide with tho |
editor’s article? Please note the differ-!
ence,.
Brother C. II. Newton and myself ‘
speak in plain language and positive j
terms in the Waco Messenger and the
editor of The Herald and Advei:-j
tishk says the. public will not credit
them. Now, he sits in his office and
lets his mind wander into the neigbor- I
hood of Macedonia and imagines a 1
thousand and one things about my cos- i
tume, etc.; and has seemingly enough j
confidence in himself to believe that i
the public will credit his imaginations
in preference to our plain statements
of fact. 1 tell you, Mr. Editor, there
is nothing like having self-confidence.
You have the advantage of me in j
knowing the original “Oscar Wilde.”
T have never heard of him so much as
to know what he is. He may be a sea
monster, a species of monkey, or a
preacher, I don’t know; but guess he is a
dude of the foppish class from your ref
erence. Oscar Wilde.

Strange Disappearance of Gems.
Every trade lias peculiarities about it
that are inexplicable. A notable in
stance of this is the strange manner in
which diamonds and other precious
stones disappear when accidentally
dropjied by a dealer while handling them.
“It really seems, ” said a jeweler to a
reporter, ‘ ‘that these valuable stones have
tlie power of motion. A diamond
-dropptxl at one end of a room has been
found in the dust at the further end of
the apartment.
“On another occasion I saw a stone
that was dropped to the floor from a
loose setting, and, after hours of fruit
less search, this same stone was found iu
the show window six feet from where it
fell.
“A friend of mine and a customer of
his spent two hours in looking for a
diamond that flew from the tweezers in
which it was held for inspection, and
when they had given up the search in
despair it was found nestling cozily in
tlie thick black beard of the customer. |
“Other precious stones seem to have j
the same faculty for disappearing. A j
short time ago a dealer allowed a fine
topaz to sHp from his hand. The spot j
on the floor where it fell, and in fact
every part of the office, was thoroughly !
searched, but the stone was never re
covered.”—Chicago News.
