I. Once again I am iu gay and gaudy Paris. One visit calls for another. There is something about the old place that attracts. But I was not attracted here this time somebody else was and I bad to come along. To the women this town has a pecu liar interest, and it is out of the question for a man accompanied by bis wife to pass through I-ranee and cut out Paris, From their early girlhood they have been hearing and reading about it, and have seen iu their fashion journals the pretty bonnets aud lovely gowns made here. '1 lie very name or the city bus. become dear to their hearts. Let them come and see it. I wish ....-.. . ... ..;! i I ..... - ,. . . i. r.. i.. ihiki couiu pay u a vinu, iui it is the Mecca to which every lady en joys a pilgrimage. It is the home of fiushiou, and the earthly paradise of the dear creatures. And this is a good time for them to see it, for the holiday goods are on exhibition and the show windows and shops are full of eharmiug Christmas things. The sights are exceedingly pleasing to the eye and hurtful to the pocket book. Everything that can appeal to the taste or tempt the appetite is to be seen: everything that can gratify the love of display is here. 1 he city has on its best looks and it looks well. The streets aud boulevards are liued and crowd ed with traders aud sight seers, many of w hom are themselves beau tiful sights. If it be lawful for a married man to say so, tnis depo nent would further aver that the women of Paris are pretty. Just how much their fine dressing adds to their natural beauty I am unable to say. But they certainly know how to dress. They have reduced to perfection the art of harmoniz ing colors aud, like the skillful painter, they have made art sur pupa nature. From head to foot their raiment is faultless. The fit is perfect and the figure shown. They carry themselves well and their step inelastic. Like every thing else in Paris, they move right along except while gazing iu the show windows. Neither winter's weather nor the foul streets can deter them from going on "dress parade." But they know how to protect their dress tiom the slush. They do not hesitate to interpose ample distance between the slush and their costly skirts regardless of consequences. But noliody knows anybody and why should somebody care! As the Paris beauty advances in years she takes up the battle with old father Time and strives to conceal the ravages which she can not stay. She resorts to the free use of cosmetics and every other devise known to her sex to dis count her years. She is loath to quit "the carpet" and fights to re- maiu on it. And, by reason ot her talent iu deceiving the observer's eye, she still looks well. In fact, I have seen but one real homely look ing woman in Paris, but she brought down the average of Parisian beau ty enormously. Bbe was so ugly that it gave one the heartburn to look at ber. But I do not wish to be unjust to the ladies iu the mat ter of love of flue dress. Fashion is a thing that is contagious and the men have caught it, too. As a rule the gentlemen here wear high clahs, stylish goods, and look well. So strong is the contagion of style that I came near falling a victim to it. My ancieut sporting propen sity threatened to reassert itself but a few enquiries about prices were sufficient to put tue to longing for the simple life. But with lhee fellows money in n object. They part with this lucre like thoroughbreds. (Vh is a mere menus of pioeuring comforts and pleasures: tbeamouut is uuiui portaut There will l plenty oi uiouey here when they ure gone, why count the cost! After all, are they not wiser than the fellow whose stiugysoul will not allow him to spend at all! This is the only w orld the Parisiau sports are thinking ahout, and in riotous living they are ' ery prodigals. Eat, drink aud be merry is the very essence of r rench philosophy. That the French people drink a great deal is well known. Stalls tics show it aud nuy oue here can see iu liieir hex-enure is wine: they drink but little beer. No ef fort is made to conceal their driuk- ing. The amen corner brother does uot get "behind the door," but iu front of the cafe ou the sidewalk. They prefer the outside Is-cause they can look at the pansersby w hile they drink. At this time of the year the proprietors have little stoves on the sidewalks among the tables and chairs. The French drink leisurely and dou't gulp it dow n like the American. Neither do they get druuk. I have never seen i mau stagger in France. Get ting "on a spree" or "on a lien der" appears to l peculiarly American. Our fellows dou't seem to Ite able to put on brakes. The Frenchman devotes much of bis time to drinking early, often and late. It is a habit with him. But, while these men do not get druuk, their habitual use of intoxicant keeps up the unnatural beat of the heart and undoubtedly shortens their days. In no other way can I account for so few old men, aud I have made it a point to look out for them. II. The people of Paris may not live so long as they should, yet they live well. Their manner of life is conducive to good digestion. They look healthy and are apparently happy. 1 hey love good food. They have some strange dishes, but they are delicious. They are very fond of vegetables and have a great va riety of them. Among bo many new kinds of vegetables I was pleased to see an old acquaintance, the regular, old fashiou juimpkiu. Aud 1 in not going back ou my raisiug, eveu iu Paris. I miss another old American luxury, corn bread. Everybody eats Outer s bread, but it is not cooked in loaves. It is cooked in long, small rolls three to four feet long and is nearly all crust. A hungry person can easily eat two yards of it. Game is a popular meat, especially fowls. Beef is not so popular auu swine has few friends. The hog is too fat and greasy. If the Parisian could only taste the toothsome flesh of the famous razor-back of Moore county he would change his mind. French cooking is excellent, but the way they serve meals does not suit everybody. They persist in serviug the food in courses. If you give all your order at once, they will divide it up according to their own notions aud bring oue or two thintrs at a time. And the way some of them split np an order is real provoking. One gourd-headed waiter murdered one of my orders in a most alwminable manner: the last thing he brought to serve as desert was a pile of scrambled eggs. The provocation almost upset my piety. Good rations aud good liquors call for merriment. In the fullest sense of the word, these folks go in for "a good tiaie." Many of them are infidels aud atheists, and wor ship Reason and Mammou. A very large majority of them are Epicu reaus and given over to the pleas ures of this world. Not all are such. There are some as good pco pie here as can be fontid anywhere, And not all of the sins of Paris are committed by the French. Old money-bags is here from other na tions (including America) and t Nursing baby? It's a heavy train on mother. Her system is called upon to supply nourishment for two. Some form of nourishment that will be easily taken up by mother's system is needed. , Scoff J Emulsion contains the greatest possible amount of nourish ment in easily digested form. Mother and baby are wonderfully helped by its use. ALL DRUGGBTSi SO. AND 11.00 ter, we see that their taste is sen sua!. The character of their liter ature is kuowu of all men. If we visit their museums an J collections of art we are ei ery where confront ed with the iM-rfiillv uude. Iu the Louvre and other museums, and in the public guldens and parks the same thing alMiuiids. The tk i 1 1 of t he art i -t is e x i u isi t e. The painter has put ou the canvas pictures which express the noblest emotions of the heart, ami the sculptor has chiseled the fires of love tuto the cold, dull marble; but they tqtoiled the products of their genius by denying them the dra Hry demanded by a christian civ ilizatiou. Iu the city there are over sixty houses for public amuse ment, aud they are crowded every night. At -all that I have visited the performances appealed to the sensual. The acting is all right The costumes arc fine and certain ly costly but too scant. I have actually been afraid that some of the actresses would coutract had colds these lieceiuher evenings, for (he raiment was Mcantest where it was inoet needed. At a grand niiera the other uiuht in the National Academy of Music, the largest play house iu the world, the dish set be fore au audience composed of the best Parisian society, wits a wife's betrayal of her marital vows. And wheu she had drugged her husband and ran away with a liliertine, that audience of the plug hat gentry and jewel-bedecked women applauded uutil the curtain was raised twice for the iniilty pair to make their itcknow ledgeiiieuts. There is no law here, so I um told by a practicing attorney, against fornication, none against seduction, and no law on the subject of bastardy. IN. A visitor can spend the first day iu Paris very profitably iu study ing a map of the city and iu locat ing the places of interest, tram and omnibus lines. The streets are crooked, run every way, and the method of naming them is idiotic. The same street crooks many times aud every time it crooks it changes its name. 1 he slightest curve cre ates a new street. But, after get ting one's licariugs, the city can be seen quickly and cheaply. There are numerous electric and steam trains, large omnibuses, two story automobiles and other vehicles that run from and to certain well known places. There are two systems of these, one running east and west and the other north and south. These run far into the night and the city shows to advantage under the glare of gas and electric lights. The many electric signs are beauti ful some of varied colors, some moving on a plane, others revolv ing, while some are constantly ap pearing aud disappearing. At night is the time to see the people, too. All of them come out in the evening the old man, the old lady and the young folks. And my! what a throng! If you get in the procession it carries you along. If you don't w ish to go with the pro cession yon can get out In the street. If you do that you will cer tainly be run over by a conveyance of some kind. The other alterna tive is to take a chair in front of a cafe. If you do that you must buy a drink, for those chairs are for customers. So what must one do! The procession is gazing tit those seated in the chairs and taking their evening dram. The dram lovers are ga.ing at the procession and thus runs the world away. If a good time is what you w ant, here's the place. The ouly thing necessary is money. If your wad is big enough you can get "in the swim. ' lut, to go the gaits, you must needs regard your lucre as trash. Prices are high, but who cares for prices! It's all iu a life time, don t you know. Walk fast, talk fast aud shovel out the francs h'il vot s ri.AiT. Iu addition to the prices asked, you are expected to tip the waiters and servants liberally. Many of the waiters and servants not only receive no pay from the proline tors for their services, but actually pay for the privilege oi serving. 1 here are some who pay the pro prietors as much as two dollars per day and furnish pen, ink and paper for the customers. After doing that they still make money, from tips and by stealing. If a foreigner buys something and hands the waiter a piece of money which is more than the price, be is pretty sure to give back less change than is coming to the buyer. I have caught them red handed more than once, but made all disgorge except one. That oue as a female clerk, who lied so eloquently that I let her have it. They take it for grant ed that a foreigner doesn't kuow the value of their pieces of money, hut if be does they will attempt to lie out of their rascality IV. The chief attractions of Paris, aside from its magnificent public buildings and monuments, are its palaces and museums containing priceless treasures of art All of them are open to the public and no charge for admission. Students flock here from everywhere to study aud copy the old masters. Scores of them may be seen in the Louvre copying Ruben?, Murillo, aud e rx 'us. Versailles cau be reached by steam trams and also by regular trains. There is one thiug that these people will not let you forget, and that is that they once had a citizen named Napoleou. Pictures, statues aud uouumentsof him everywhere, aud streets, hotels and public places named iu com memoration of his battles aud vic toriesbut nothing named Water loo. Perhaps the chief attraction iu the city is the tomb of the great murderer. It is visited by streams of eople, kith winter aud summer. It is shown to the stranger with evident pride. No mau ever made so many orphans and widows, or sacrificed so many precious lives of his ow n people, aud yet the I reuch nation loves his memory. Just now the all absorbing topic in l'aris is the row over the sepa ration of church aud state. The law- in regard to separation, and its enforcement by the present Minis try, has made the Catholics as mad as hornets. The Pope at Konie is 'nueking' the law if you will pardon the expression aud his fol- owers here are right with him. Feeling is high and some very uu wise talk is indulged in by people who profess to be christians. Our landlord is a most devout Catholic (and a mighty clever fel low he is, too), aud we worshijied with his persuasion ou last Sab hath.
