Paris, June 7.—There are in all about
10,000 Americans who rent or own hand
some homes in Paris. They live in New
Paris, up around the Champs Elysees
chiefly, and us neiu* the Arc de Triomphe
as they can, and though the English,
Russian and even the German colony is
larger, the American residents have ex
erted a more tangible influence on Paris
than all the other foreigners put togeth
er. This is chiefly because this handful
of expatriated colonists are women, rich,
clever daughters of Columbia, who, with
the characteristic independence of their
Western blood, refuse to yield to the old
law, which says, when you are in Rome,
you must do as the Romans do. They

like to live in l’arls because it is clean
•nd cheerful, full of good dressmakers,
and, according to the belief of a few, a
cheaper cdty than New York, Boston or
Chicago. They all speak French, and it's
an exploded notion that they don’t go

do, at any rate, and some of them have
married titled and brilliant Frenchmen,

homes. In this respect iliey disregard
cos* and the tradition . and they refuse,
as do the English, Russians, Germans,
etc., to live like French people. The very
first thing an Amerl tn-bred woman de
mands are her comforts and conveniences

ly refused to accept the icrench substi
tutes for these. All the electric lights
in private houses, lie elevator* in apart

tric belli now to be seen so frequently In
Paris are due to that same American wo
man, who, when she couldn’t find them
in that city of pleasure, imported them
from America, was first scofTed at. them
laughed at and finally envied and imi
tated.
Wlint American Women Have Done
for Purl*.
The proud citizen who points out the
houses of the great folk to-day lingers
lovingly over his descriptions of the gor
geous Asenseur in this mansion, the shin
ing bathrooms in that, and an actual
shiver of delightful excitement went
through smart circles when the Marquise
de Choiseul, who is a New York woman,
put in the back of her husband’s beauti
ful old city mansion a lift to he used by
the servants and luggage. Art treasures
and splendid architecture actually sink in-
to insignificance beside these wonders of
scientific living, all of them directly at
tributable to the Americans, who, like the
Englishman with his hath tub, or Mary
with her little lamb, Insist on having their
steam heat and elevators wherever they
go.
Of course, It required time and patienue
to achieve these admirable ends, for Pa
risians as a rule are accustomed to sit
ting in a temperature of fifty degrees all
winter, climbing from three to five flights
of stairs even In their most elegant apart
ment houses, and using the washstand
basing as a bath tub. The first woman
who s< t about to revolutionize the domes
tic life in l'arls was Mrs. Bell, who died
not long ago, and who loved to tell the
story of the excitement created by her
hath room. At really great expense she
had o charming American bath room with
liot and cold water, outside plumbing and
a stationary washstand built next her own
suite of apartments In her roomy house.
Site even had to Import expert workmen
from New York, and all the materials ex
cept the bath tub and marble slabs from
the states. When the whole thing was

complete it created as big a sensation in
sman French society as a coupt d’etat
or anew genius of the Theater Franeais.
Parisian friend* of Mrs. Pell brought
strangers to her house on reception days
and begged a i* ep for them at the famous
bath room, much as a glimpse at a newly
discover© masterpiece of Raphael might
be requested.
To-day it is easy enough to have water
works throughout your French house, if
you like, and all the business of setting
them in place will be done by French
plumbers, but they make whacking
charges for the same, and are so clumsi
ly inadequate that when Emma Fames
and he Countess of Castellane were
building, American workmen were again
Imported for the difficult jobs of intro
ducing the mechanism that gives the
modern American home the aspect of be
ing run hy magic.
To .arrive at this American perfection
of domestic machinery is what the Par
isian strives for immediately a fortune
is made or Inherited, and if anybody
doubts, the statement it is only necessary
to investigate some of the new apart
ment houses in the fashionable residence
district or the line houses on the big bou
levards. An apartment h'ouse with steam
heat, a lift and electricity Is no longer a
novelty in Paris any more than a private
residence with bathrooms is a curiosity.
Yet in spite of all the* French do them
selves, the American residents go them
one better, arid the Castellan© house on
the Avenue de Bols de Boulogne, the Ev
ans Hotel on the Champs Elysees, Mrs.
Moor’s lovely place on the Avenue Kle
her, etc., remain as the standards of lux
urious convenience.

The Castellane palace—for a palace it
really is—presents only the end of one

at Versailles, opens on n side street. On
either side, where the great glass doors
open, are tremendous gilded iron Louis
Quatorze lamps lighted by electricity, and
while the arrangement of the rooms and
their furnishings match in detail that of
the palace of 'Madame de Main tenon, and
even the kitchens are faithful reproduc
tions of those typical of the time of Louis
le Grande, the touch of inventive labor
saving American genius is over it all.
The house itself is only two stories high,
but little electric lifts or dumb waiters
run from wine cellar to the roof. There
la an admirable little contrivance that
communicates directly between the kitch
en and the countess’ own bedroom, sliding
noiselessly through the walls, for the pur
pose of sending up her morning’s coffee
the instant it is complete. Beneath one
wing of the house is a laundry on the
American plan that Is the envy of all
the countess’ wealthy ami titled friends.
Three women are steadily at work the
week through in the washing, drying and
Ironing rooms, for the eountesH lias a fad
for wearing white lawn ami muslin frocks.
Her children dress exclusively in white
needleworked frocks, and the house linen
is far too fine to suffer the usual Parisian
maltreatment; hut in spite of the daily
bundles of fragile white wearing apparel
tossed down the long wooden chute to
the women in the basement, the labor,
save that of ironing, is wonderfully light
ened by machinery and steam. There is
an amazing little contrivance for wash
ing and stretching line laces, and in n
pleasant room off tht* laundry sit a couple
of the deftest needlewomen, whose basi
nets it is to inspect every article of cloth
ing, every sheet and towel before it iu
placed on the dumb waiter that whisks
it in snowy piles up into the house linen
room, and the care of n maid who sorts

entertaining guests on this one floor, fur
nished with a quantity of beautiful hang
ings, rugs and bric-a-brac, that in a
French family could only be gathered to
gether in three or four generations of
wealthy collectors. This American wo
man has picked them up in a few years,
and one of her salons taught the native
duchesses that they still had some lessons
in luxury to learn from the pretty Amer
ican. It is called the salon des roses, for
one-half of it is glass, the walls treated
in a lovely tone of green, and aside from
the gilded cone furniture, upholstered in
loose green brocade cushions, every bit
of the decorations, bric-a-brac, etc., con
sists of roses, plants In full bloom. On
the mantle shelf window sill, on the floor,
tables and numerous brackets stand pots
of exquisite red, white, pink, cream and
even black roses. Every plant has Its
healthy roots deep in the rich moss-cov
ered earth that fills its own artistic green,
reel or blue pot, and so long as the buds
are unfolding and the full-blown flowers
shed their sweetness on the mild sun
lighted air of the house it remains to
win admiration and enjoy the personal
care of the Duchess. Just so soon as
every plant’s blossoming time draws to
a close it is carried away by the florist
in charge, and anew bloomer put In its
place. At times and even in the wintry
months this salon contains as many as
thirty pots of lovely rose trees, some of
them standing five to six and a half feet
in bight and some showering their deli
cate flowers upon an Invisible green wire
trellis. These the mistress of the house
prefers to palms and the stiff, boxed trees
that French taste has made fashionable,
and in her never-fading bower live her
bulflnches, German canaries and a
healthy, gloriously-voiced mocking bird,
brought herself from the United States.
In all Paris there is not another conserva
tory like this, which Ls the sort of dainty
fad that would have delighted the extrav-
agant, beauty'-loving Empress Eugenie.”
Electrlcn I House-keeping.
It is worth while for an American w r ho
wishes to see what impression her coun
try women have made on Paris to walk
up the Avenue do l’Alma, w'here the mod
ern, graceful American church stands, a
very worthy neighbor in beauty of arch
itecture to that most fashionable of Par
isian houses of worship on the Rue Chail
lot just beyond. There are many Ameri
cans resident on this street, and
further along in the square nam
ed in honor ot' the United States,
stands a charming cream stone
house that belongs to Madam Emma
Fames Story. One of the first French
architects designed k for her, wreathing
In little musical Instruments, with the
fanciful carving over doorways and win
dows. Inside, however, tin mistress de
manded that every arrangement should
be made for the introduction of all scien
tific comforts and aids to housekeeping,
and her wish has been gratified. It is
Madame Eames Kit ping House by Tele
phone.
one of the rare houses in Paris that wears
u homelike appearance, and in many re
spects the Czarina of all the Rusdas en
joys no such luxuries as are the lot bf
this beautiful sing* r, who entertains con
stantly, and specially her American
friends. Ail the mantle shelves in the
house are of carved wx>ds or marbles
i'rom New England, and one-half of the
furnishing is ‘lone in old colonial mahog
any brought from Maine and Massachu
setts.
Perhaps that which gives the mistress
of the mansion the greatest pleasure,
however, is the contrivance arranged for
her by a clever young American friend,
an expert electrician, tlwu literally per
mits of housekeeping by the pressure of
buttons. When she goes to her desk in
the morning she spends twenty minutes
keeping house, and often not a servant
enters the room to give information or
receive orders. Beside her charming desk
is a telephone stand, and from her chair
she can talk with, first, the cook, then
the maids, then <he laundress and the
coachman. A row of pins before her in
dicates the kitchen, laundry, pantry ,e c.;
another row of pins signifies her florist,
nastry cook, groc* r. the cremerle, and so
on the rounds of tradespeople, even to
h< r stationer and dealer in music and
1 >lano tuner.
In the shortest possible space she ha®
dispatched all the important but uninter
esting business of the day, and is ready to
go to her famously beautiful music room
or spend a half hour with her oecreiary.
From her desk to her kitchen runs also
a pneumatic tube, by which w'ritten or
ders, letters to be posted and notes to be
delivered are dropped right into the lap
of the seryant. In winter the house is
heated throughout, while In summer con
cealed electric fans drive a continual
breeze through the tiled hall and the
drawing rooms that are partly furnished
with palms and flowering plants.
Houses like this have not failed to open
French women’s eyes and make it clear
to them why the American women get on
with so few r servants and yet manage to
keep house and maintain their place in
society as well, heeide carrying on with all
these cares so difficult and dlaiingulahed
a profession as that followed by Mrs.
Story.
Two Fninoos Hosteasea.
Among the American hostesses in Paris
who have astonished the natives by their
splendid hospitality end Western innova
tions is Mrs. Moore, on the Aver.ue Kle
ber. and Mrs, Tuck, who owns the model
apartment on the Champs Elyssees. A
hush of something like awe comes over
Parisians when they apeak of Mrs. Moores
while marble mansion, with Its Greek ter
race at the back, where ept*t'ially favored
friends are sometimes asked to exquisite
little breakfast parties. The terrace and
garden are even more p*rfect than thoee
at the famous hotel Ritz, and from its
grassy lawns a visitor can step down to
a faultless basement gymnasium and to
the white marble plunge bath. Every fair
morning in spring breakfast is served in
the garden and the faultless meals are
designed and chiefly prepared by a fat,
black, clever negro wt>man, who was im
ported for the purpose from Virginia.
Mrs. Tuck in the lady who taught
French architects how to build apart
ments on the American plan. Until her
coming two and 1 three-story apartments
were unknown in Paris, but in the hand
some building on the Champs Elysses a
duplex was contrived with a butler’s pan
try fitted in detail from America. Mrs.
Tuck entertains lavishly on the great
boulevard end out at her country place
next door to
house is built on a porflon of the property
that once belonged to Josephine, and the
rooms of the American's mansion are fill
ed with exquisite empire furniture that to
collectors is almost worth its weight In
gold, for much of it was used by the sad
empress in her years of unnatural widow
hood.
A trifle further along from Mrs. Tuck's
apartment, and on the moat beautiful
street In Europe, stands the Evans house,
now the temporary Parisian dwelling of
Mr. and Mrs. Potter Palmer, who arc
keeping open house during the exposition,
and give notable luncheon parties in th?,
famous stained glass breakfast mom of
this truly regal residence. AU the walks
and ceiling of this room represent ocenes
of Roman. Greek. Persian and mediaeval
feasts; the floor ie? done In glass mosaic,
and under the regime of the Potter Pal
mers, not only the delicacies that the
French markets afford, but every dainty
from America, is served quite as if the
fastest steamers required five hours in
stead of five to seven days to cro-se the
ocean.
A like liberality ir entertaining pre
vails in the lovely house presided over by
Mrs. Horace Porter, who, though he
found it ample for her needs and charm
ingly furnished, preferred to have bath
rooms attached to all the bedroomp, a*
in her New York home, and was ac
cordingly provided with these conveni
ences. that in the American estimate of
life are the common necessaries for de
cent living.
“Do you wonder we gasp when we hear
of women who merely speak like the fav
ored few in the “Arabian Nights” and
are immediately obeyed?” asked the
French woman who talked it over. "We
gasp and are learning all the time from
thi& handful of rich Westerners. On the
other hand, I think the 10,000 Americans
resident of Paris have taught us to be
shockingly extravagant, and the very foot
of their living here, their style of en
tertaining and their luxurious demands
hove in the past fifteen yeans raised the
whole scale of living 50 per cent, in re
finement as well as in cost.”

CHINESES IDEAS OP GINNERY.
Am 11.ing Account* of ChliiMt Port*
and Arnenal* of Shanghai.
From the Engineering Times.
Lord Charles Beresford, discussing the
openings in China for mechanical engi
neers, gives an amusing description of
Chinese forts and arsenals.
“I would like.” he says, "to tell you one
or two stories thoroughly characteristic of
the Chinese. At Shanghai. In the superb
arsenal under the superintendence of Mr.
Bunt and Mr. Cornish, both British me
chanical engineers. I saw an Armstrong
gun which had had the bfeech-plece re
paired in a most clever manner. Asa mat
ter of fact, it was really a Krupp gun,
but with an Armstrong breech mechanism.
On asking for explanations I was told
that the original breech-piece had been
blown out. and on visiting a fort later on
I found out how and why. At this fort I
congratulated the mandarin on having the
guns (sixty-seven ton) mounted in proper
positions, and I was afterward shown the
powder used. I then said: 'You surely do
not use this powder in those guns?' 'Oh,
yes,’ replied the mandarin, 'we do.’ But
in will blow the breech-piece* out.' ‘Yen,
it does,’ was the reply. One gun on being
ilred blew the breech off and killed four
teen men; and then they tried the other
gun and killed twenty-four men.
"Later on I visited another battery,
where there were five sixty-ton guns. Ob
eervlng the arrangements of these. I ask
ed the mandarin where hts 'front' was.
The mandarin pointed In one direction,
but the guns pointed In another. I men
tioned this and the mandarin nodded and
said he thought there was some mistake.
I then pointed out that only one gun could
be fired safely in the desired direction*.
'Oh, no.’ replied the mandarin, 'we should
fire them all. At my request the experi
ment was there made, and on pointing the
guns around as desired they became an
echelon, so that the wave of concussion
of one gun would have destroyed the de
tachment on duty at its neighbor. Know
ing this. I placed soldiers' hats and clothes
about the guns, and on firing the tatter In
succession these garments were blown
sky high. 'You see?' I observed to the
mandarin. 'Yes.’ replied the latter, 'we
should have had some men killed, but the
stuot would have reached, the enemy,
wouldn't It?’
"At another place there was a sixty
ton muzzle-loading gun, at which the ar
rangements were such that the gun was
actually loaded in the magazine. A bad
ly sponged gun or burning wad might,
therefore, have blown the whole up. I
pointed this out, remarking that I had
never seen anything so dangerous. The
mandarin smiled, slapped me on the back
and said: 'You are the cleverest man I
have ever met. That Is Just what hap
pened last year. We did fire the gun and
the magazine blew up. I will show you
where.' About fifty men had been killed
In this explosion, but no alteration had
been made In reconstructing (he battery.
Later on I went to a powder mill and
found there excellent machines of Ger
man make. I noticed, however, that there
was too much powder In tb* pan. and,
fuVther, thnt the windows we|> ail open
and protected by gratings. Hence It was
possible for dust or grit to blow In. and,
getting into the pan, it would lie liable, by
the friction caused, to start on explosion.
I pointed this out and the mandarin re
plied: ‘Yes, It blew up like thnt last year;
this is the new place we have built since.'
"The Chinese were also delighted with
me at other arsenals having no European
superintendent when I showed them hot*
to set their speed and feed gearing for the
mochlne tools.
"In one place I found a man boring a
six-pounder gun. and the tool pratesling
most vigorously against the ill-treatment.
1 showed the man how to adjust tt, and
got it going properly. The workmen gath
ered in a corner and talked excitedly. I
asked what they were saying and was
told: 'They are saying that England
produces the most wonderful mandarins
in the world. We have many, but not one
of them knows anything about any of tha
machinery in Iho shop.' “

of Eczema permanently. All the oi ntmeius, salves, lotions that he was ab a
to obtain gave him only temporary relief, but the disease broke out again
every spring until he took GRAYBEARD.
A Family’s Best Friend.
We have made more GRAYREAR D this year than we have ever made in
the same length of time In our lives. We are selling more. It is doing mora
sufferers good, because more sufferers ore taking it.
We are making it the old. old w y, rind it seems to get better.
We are making it of the freshest material, and with the utmost care. In
sections where it is the, beet known it has taken the place of all other reme

It is becoming the one gieat famil y medicine of the United States.
Necessary Medicine.
That family which has a bottle of GRAYBEARD on the mantel; a box
each of GRAYBEARD FILLS and GRAYBEARD OINTMENT In the medi
cine chest, is fortified against most diseases that flesh is heir to. At this par
ticular season GRAYBEARD PILLS are Indispensable. They will remove all
bilious attacks, and get the bowels in a healthy condition; but they should b#
followed up with short treatment of GRAYBEARD.
GRAYBEARD OINTMENT Is necessary at this season when eruptions and
skin outbreaks are prevailing While you may expect no permanent relief
from deep-seated blood troubles, short of GRAYBEARD, there aie mu or
troubles which the Ointment will lellcve speedily. It is one of the handiest
little boxes of medicine a family ever had in the house.
Letter From Tennessee.
Dear Friends: I have been suffering twenty-three years with an ulcer on my
ankle. Sometimes in bed—sometimes on crutches. I used remedies of my own, and
falling to make a cure, I called in different physicinas. They all said that they
could cure me. but found it to be cf a stubborn nature and failed.
I saw GRAYBEARD advertised and I bought
. * 4 bottles of It—
-2 boxes of the pills—
-1 box of the ointment.
It cured me well. And I have one bottle left.
I say that I am well—not near y well—but entirely well. It has been over twelra
months and no symptoms have returned.
I hope the suffering will do as I have; use it. have faith in it and he cured.

"I thought I would write you what your wonderful Graybeard has done for
me. I had Catarrh of the head about 35 years, and suffered a great deal. I have
tried many kinds of medicines and have been treated by doctors, though all of
them failed to cure me. And I being so cl 1 and my disease so chronic, I didn’t think
there was any medicine that would cuie me. But mor" than two years ago I had
very plain symptoms of Cancer on my nose and face and decided to try G aybeard,
not thinking that it would cure my Catarrh os well as Cancer. I bought 8 bottles
from Mr. Pierce, and less than 6 cured me. This has been more than two years ago
now and no symptoms of the o and disc ises have appeared. I can praise Graybeard
for what it has done for me. P r one ne- and never think they ore ioo old for Gtay

Clip this and keep It before you—because It may be valuable to you somo day.
