The Paris Halles, or central mar kets, cover a surface o 59,000 yards. One hundred million pounds of meat are sold there in a year, 44,000,000 pounds of chicken and a number equally appalling of bush els of potatoes and vegetables, of pounds of fish and butter, of doa ens of eggs. Aside from the peoplo who go to buy at the Halles Cen trales and the vast number of ho tels and institutions which provide themselves with food at this source, there are twenty-nine smaller mar kets held in the different quarters of Paris every day which have no other supply than the Halles. , The reason for serving them selves thus through an intermedi ary instead of applying directly to the suburban trucksters and the coastwise fishermen is that thereby are avoided the complications in volved by the laws of hygiene which are very strict in Paris. Ev ery particle of food admitted to the counters of the Dames des Halles must first have been inspected and judged fit for the human palate by a commission that holds its se ances between midnight and 3 in the morning, performing test ex periments upon hungry guinea pigs! The effects no doubt prove fatal rather often upon these poor "tasters," for there are 440,000 pounds of meat seized every year and destroyed with quicklime, while an equal amount of sea fish is cast to destruction, together with 15.000" pounds of fresh water fish, thou--sands of lobsters and last, as al ways in the procession, 190,000 snails. i The men who accomplish the dif ficult task of unloading the wagons of food as they arrive from the rail road are appointed to their posi tions by the prefect of police. He makes no further tax upon them morally and physically than that they shall be honest and able to carry from one end to the other of the market a load weighing 240 pounds. For this formidably hard "job" the remuneration is never less than $600 and attains to as much as $1,000 a year. Lippin cott's Magazine. Hoods and Toilt. j A well known astronomer and mathematician was on his way home one evening after having epent an hour or two in an observ atory, looking through a telescope at a comet. Directly opposite him in the car sat a man with a loud voice, whose misinformation con cerning comets would have supplied the material for a library and who appeared to be talking for the bene fit of all the passengers. The as tronomer listened patiently for a time. Then he said in a low tone to the man sitting next to him : "Our friend on the other side of the aisle reminds me somewhat of a comet himself." "How so?" "He is emptying his head to make a long tale'Youth's Com panion. Variotiot In Gold Filling. A gold filled tooth and vour ffold I filled watch case may be said to be inversely analogous that is. vour gold filled tooth has more or less of the tooth structure or enamel on the outside, with gold as a core fill ing the center. Your eold filled watch case consists of two sheets of gold having between them some baser metal to which the eold is soldered. As to the gold in the case, it may be oi any hneness and any thickness commensurate with th term "gold filled." A jeweler will tell you that 10 carat eold is not gold, having too much admixture of baser metals. Many persons have the idea that the gold filled case is an amalgnm of the kind instead nf a sandwich of gold smeared on the inside with the base metals. Different Suits.
