HOW THE PARISIANS LIVE
And Their Awkward Hours for Eating
--An Interesting Letter.
14 Urn I»K l.’AlinK-DK-r.’EPEK, I
Pa his, Franck, April II, 1800.)
Of course, it is unnecessary to say
that tlie French are a polished and po
lite people. You have perhaps heard
tho saying, “As politeasa Frenchman."
Me lifts his hat on the slightest pretext,
not only to women hut to men alike. If
he passes you on the stairway or in the
hall, he lifts his hat, even if you arc not
in acquaintance. On the streets lie thus
salutes his acquaintances, giving, by
way of respect to the ladies, an extra
twirl to his heaver. (I may remark in
cidentally that the beaver hat is the
rule.) It is necessary to live among the
French for n while in order to appreci
ate the delicate politeness which the
diameter and customs of the people
have stamped upon society. There
are, however, some glaring inconslsten-
dos ill lids politeness which I reserve
for another letter. I have likewise ob
served that women saint,o each other
with a kiss, lint, the French kiss is
unique in its character. It Is given on
both cheeks. Where the salutation is
cordial, the advantage is In favor of the
French custom, hut otherwise it is do-
ddedly in favor of tho American plan.
Hut, ,in truth, French manners are
quite attractive, and this polish of man
ner is not conIInod to any one class. It
is true of nil. Enter a baker’s shop to
buyxilonf of bread and the damsel in
chargo greets you with a bow that
would grace a court, and with a smile
that makes you change your mind and
buy two loaves Instead of one. Tho
damsels of the baker shops have almost
without, except ion attractive faces, and
I musical way of thoirowu in pronounc
ing "merer' as they receive your penny
anil deliver to you the loaves. FinaUy,
•as'you reach the door, you get another
diarming bow and a merry "lion join-,
vtoniirurl*' And, in’Hpite of one’s self,
■one goes away half tcolding Iris stupidi
ty in not buying all tho loaves in the
establishment.
Speaking of hr ker’s shops reminds me
that there are no biscuits in Furls.
There is a sort of little cake they call
biscuit, hut it cannot fail to become the
contempt of any one wlm has ever tast
ed a (icorgiu biscuit. We have borrow
ed the name “biscuit,” I suppose, hut I
am sure it requires only one test to de
cide that we have dignified the name by
its association with the plump, delici
ous Southern biscuit, It is a little dilll-
cult to overcome one’s prejudices, even
in a matter of diet, and the continual
absence of tho biscuit from the hill of
fare renders one almost inconsolable,
lint the excellence of the bread (which,
according to the law, cannot he sold
warm,) and the fact that it is more <ii-
gesulde, serves, after a certain period
of tribulation, to shake one loose from
bis prejudices, lint the Southern phi
losophy seems to lu>, “Hong live the bis
cuit, if we perish with dyspepsia." I
suppose there is not a private family in
Fai ls, rich or poor, that cooks its own
bread. You can easily imagine, there
fore, (hut the "boulangerloH," or ba
ker’s shops, are quite numerous, and
quite important. The price of bread is
remarkably cheap. Each "boulangor,"
or bnker has his little wagon, in which
urn-delivered the supplies to regular
customers; but perhaps the majority of
purchases arc made by individuals of
the shop. From it to 8:!!0 in the evening
lire busy hours, and for one who wishes
t o get a peep into French character, a
baker’s shop during these hours is a
fruitful school.
This reminds me of a joke they tell
vn an American who visited l’aris with
no knowledge of the French language,
but who had read in the American
newspapers much of Genorul lloulan-
^or. In a promsnmlo through the city
-to was struck with tho frequency of
the names “Boulangor," "Houlnngo-
rie," etc., upon a number of shops, lie-
turning at night and recounting his ex
periences of the day, he asserted with
:he air of a man who had made a dis-
-vovery t hat General Boulanger was cer
tainly, a rich man, for, during tho day,
bo trad found his name upon ever so
many houses.
But an Englishman who recently vis
ited Paris with a party of friends had a
bit of experience equally as amusing.
Muring the day he became separated
from his couqvanions, and t night com
ing on, he mado an effort to return to
bishotcl. But what was lie to do? He
had forgotten tho name of tho street,
the tiamo of the hotel—all. And as he
-could not speak a word of French to
ask for information he found himself
in a funny predicament, lie did not
remain long in this state embarrass
ment, however. Me remembered that
lie had the address of his Paris hotel at
home in London, and ho took'the next
rain to go in search of it. But as he did
not return to his hotel his friends be
came uneasy, and tho next day went to
the morgue, half fearing they would
tiiul his lifeless body, and this is how
tho story leaked out.
It is a la modi in Paris to eat but two
meals a day. Thirty years ago, howev
er, their ancestors were more sensible,
(or less so—I hardly know which,) and
ate three meals a day. Now, it }s a\fe
in the morning, dejruucr at 12. andxliner
at 7 or a
An American finds some difficulty in
adjusting his appetite to a breakfast at
12 o’clock, and a dinner at 7 or 8, and is
nonplussed when lie t ries to count in a
supper, since dinner has completely
crowded it out, and it is against Ills
principles to dine at a later hour. Cof
fee or tea, with broad, is served in the
morning in the bed-room. It is a mat
ter of taste whether you take tea in bed
or out of tied—in your bed-room or in
the dining-room—and as taste varies
with tho individual, no general rule can
he established with reference to this
custom. Hut suppose you do not like
ten or coffee. In this event, you possi
bly may succeed in getting a little but
ter or cheese, and a piece of bread. Of
course, you can get by special arrange
ment that is to say, by opening your
pocket-book quite liberally—a substan
tial meal in the morning. But if you
are in a French family, or a French
boarding-house, you him'expected to
confine yourself within tho limits of de
cent French customs, or pay dearly for
your American ideas. Ton Frenchman,
doffeo and tea in the morning is a mat
ter of course; hut to imi American, who
loves t he t rnditions and customs of his
country, (and, above all, who dotes on a
good breakfast,) it is a matter terribly
out of course.
But the excellence of the French rtti-
sini. and tin 1 palatable dishes of the two
meals they give you, to some extent
consoles one for the loss of breakfast.
The names of the French dishes have
found their way into all civilized coun
tries, and even in America, in the
leading hotels, instead of saying "fried
potatoes,” as common sense suggests, it
is pommes friten that they offer you;
and if, by way of experiment, you oilier
the new dish with its foreign title, you
nro chagrined nt the appearance of an
old friend under an assumed name.
I shall not attempt to describe to you
the variety and excellence of the
French cuisine, for I know I should fail.
I can only confess t hat I am not posted
in cook books. Soup at the beginning
and cheese at the close, and wino from
beginning lo end, may he named as the
distinctive points of a French meal.
All the servants in private families, res
taurants, etc., are white. All the bar
bers, coachmen in short, all the serv
ice performed by the blacks in tho
South, is performed by whites in Paris.
Of course, there are many distinctive
points of difference between the French
system of service and the American. I
can name only a few. At nil the res-
taurants, tho customers pay t he waiters
instead of tho proprietors. You are ex
pected at the end of each meal to give
the waiter at least two cents. Certain-
ly, if you wish to do violence to a cus
tom which, by reason of its ago, lias be
come a sort, of obligation, you can neg
lect to place this penny in (lie hands of
the waiters. Nothing will he said about
it. The waiter will not demand it. But
since custom lias given him a right to
expect it, lie regards you with an ex
treme pity, us being from some heath
enish country, if you fail in wlmt ho
considers your Christian duty. In many
restaurants attractive French damsels
are waiters. Those, by their smiles and
their grace in handling the dishes they
servo, succeed in placing the guests
under an additional obligation, and of
ten they nro required to pay the propri
etor a certain amount each week for
the privilege of serving his customers.
The same regulation exists in many
hoardiiig-houses. It is the same with
the coachmen.
Paris is a city absolutely free from
the unmusical “Shine, boss,” of the
bootblack. His voice is not heard in the
land. In his stead, at every street cor
ner, is an able-bodied man, perched
upon his box, with a metal tag hanging
from his neck, with the number of Ii is
station, and with a sort of vacant stare
of the must freezing indifference nt the
world in general. lie calls himself
‘‘commissioner.” lie will black your
hoots and take your three cents, if you
insist, but in either case lie does not
shcil any tears on the subject. Verily,
in Paris t he profession of the bootblack
is in a state of degeneracy. In Ameri
ca they arc to some extent the guardi
ans of neatness in public, for an Amer
ican cannot promenade the streets with
d list-covered boots without a declara
tion of *,vur from*a troop of young boot-
aliiners, who either succeed in polishing
his boots or in running him into some
retreat.
There nro a few negroes in Paris, and,
so far as can judge, t here is a cordial so
cial equality existing between them
and, the whites. They attend tho same
schools, sit at the same table, and occa
sionally there is an Intermarriage of the
two races. More than once 1 have seeir
a negro man and his white wife on the
streets. 1 suppose the scarcity of the
blacks renders the race problem a mat
ter o' indifference in Franco. It is a
problem reserved peculiarly for the
South. Indifference there would be fa
tal. At least it is a complex problem,
the solution of which cannot be reach
ed in a day, or in a few years.
P. i>. Pollock.
Just and True.
Wlllacooohoo Nows.
The declaration of purposes of the
Farmers’ Alliance is just anil true. It
declares in favor of all, but special
privileges to none. They favor educa
tion, morality and temperance. They
oppose ignorance, vice and drunken
ness. They believe in honesty, indus
try and economy, and oppose fraud,
corruption and indolence and extrava
gance. Their motto, rr set forth in
their declaration of purposes, is “the
greatest good to the greatest number.”
But, say some, they do not follow
these directions; they do not live up to
these requirements. Doubtless that is
true in some instances, but we are not
now discussing the manner of lives that
men live, but principles, “declaration
of purposes.”
If we were to judge of “purposes” by
what we seo and hear in tho life of
men, then the matrimonial injunctions
would lie a farce. Men promise to
"nourish, love anil cleave unto her, and
her alone,” but many do not do it.
In church men take the sacred obli
gation, and promise "in tlie presence of
tlie whole congregation, to renounce
tho world, tlie tlesii and the devil,” and
to attend upon its ordinances, and sup
port its institutions, and after all this,
by a constant association with some
men for months, you could not know
that they are members of the church
unless you ask the question direct.
Now, men will not say that tlie pur
poses of holy wedlock are not good,
and of inestimable value to society and
the world; neither will they say that
tho church of God is a humbug and a
failure because its register contains tho
names of those who aro not true and
are unfaithful.
We repent if, wo are not talking
about the inconsistent lives that many
load, hut about institutions, purposes,
etc., and that where these have for
their aim tho protection of society and
tlie good of humanity, they should bo
held in high regard by tho people.

CHURCHES.
Support Your Home Papor.
Why ? Because it Is your friend. It is
not only your friend but it is the friend
of overy one near and dear to you. It
is prompt to tell you of good news, and
sympathizes with you in nil sorrow. It
lias no liate for any one, but love for
all. It has no special privileges, but it
knocks at, your door, weak to week, and
says, hero I am. If tho babe, but six
months old, is dead, and hearts are
heavy, hero is tho sad story of baby's
dentil, and through a thousand miles
tho sad story travels to loving ones
abroad. It. tolls of the old man, or old
wife gone before, and gives its best
words to soothe the stricken hearts left
behind. II two loving hearts consum
mate their plodge, by marriage, the
home paper tells the story in the best
and pleasantest, way it can. If a young
man starts out in business, born hero or
elsewhere, tho local newspaper pats
him on the back, and gives him words
of encouragement; and ho loves to hear
those words. If tho church- -that grand
conservator—wants some special aid,
whore else do its friends find a truer
and stronger help than the home pa
per? If, to close, there is any good
cause to he promoted, where else can
bo found n better helper than the homo
paper in tlie town? Fellow-citizens,
stand by your homo paper. It is the
comfort of old age and the sinewy
strength of youth. By your fireside,
old and young, it is a companion
above all others in tilings that ap
pertain to this wicked world. Oth
ers may full, through misfortune,
or mischance, but the local paper at
your home comes with a smiling face to
greet you week to week, and always
brings good cheer.
"Jlmson” Weed the Great. Horse Med
icine.
Hon thorn Cultivator.
“He very careful,” writes E. E. Me.,
of Louisiana, to the Cultivator fanners,
“how you destroy weeds and other so-
called pests. To show you how care
ful you ought to be I will give you an
idea of the virtues of n common weed
which, until last week, I thought an
unmitigated nuisance the jinison
weed (Jamestown.) Nothing can be
given a horse that will so speedily reg
ulate and allay all urinary obstructions
and inflammation as this seed. Tl.e
seeds are a powerful alterative. They
are cathartic, diaphortic and diuretic.
They act upon the stomach and bow
el*, producing a healthy condition of
those organs. The seed should lie
gathered in October and November (I
should say gather the seed in Septem
ber just as llie seed-pods burst) and
laid up for future use. For a dose one to
two ounces or tablespoonfuls every sec
ond or third day, according to severity
of ense, until four doses have been giv
en. After a lnpse of a few days repeat.
In extremo cases a dose may be given
every day. This remedy is unsurpass
ed in cases of big-head, glanders, farcy,
distemper, hide-liohnd, stiff-complaint
and chronic founder. Dr. Stewart
rightly calls these seeds ‘tlie great
horse medicine.’ An olil darky told
mo the leaves of tills weed would cure
any case of sore hack. Whether this is
so or not I cannot say, but we have tlie
word of a veterinary surgeon for tho
seed.”

Learn to say no when asked for your

dear to you. There is in that* little
word much that will protect you from

pleasantest, fellows in the world.
When tho sun imprinted in black nnd

along Frinco Charming, who will have
a right, tlie right owned by tho master
of tlie heart, to ask for tlie counterfeit
presentment of yourself after he knows
that he is going to have the real girl for

would lio if ho should discover that the
giving* away of your photograph has
been almost as general as the invita
tions to your Now Year’s party. Think
how lie will feel if ho soes your face
locking over the mantleshelf in Dick’s
room—Dick whom lie knows to bo a
braggart, and a man for whom he hns
the utmost contempt! Then just learn
to say no. Don't display your photo
