THE TOILERS OF PARTS.

A Near View of the Working Classes of the French Capital.

A People Who Are Fond of Wtne and Song and Careless About the Future — Their 1 eeltng Toward Society.

In order to study the working classes thoroughly M. Henri Leyret, a literary man, started business as a marchand de vin, or publican, in one of the most crowded districts of Paris, says a writer in the London Telegraph. He has embodied his experiences as a mastroquet in a book entitled: “Bn Plcin Faubourg,” which has lately been published by Charpentier. M. Leyret, after having deuouueed the bad drink supplied to the working classes—not always through the fault of the publicans, but, rather, due to the wholesale merchants gives it as his opinion that those who live by the sweat of their brow have an aversion to debt. The bad payers and those who want drinks chalked up are the exception, and it is needless to say that they are the idlers, the loafers aud the confirmed drunkards. These men neglect no opportunity of sponging or of obtaining drink on credit, without the least intention of paying for the absinthe or wine supplied to them. As a rule the laborious people avoid the taverns wherein the loafers assemble. The author also alludes to a discussion on Zola which he overheard. One of his customers,while gazing at a portrait of the novelist, maintained that the working classes had been libeled in the “Assommoir.” “Is the workman,” asked the antiZolaist, “to be represented ns an eternal drunkard because lie drinks a glass now and then?” The listeners applauded this speech, but another man stood up for Zola, saying that if the novelist had exaggerated a little it Was done in the interest of the working classes, whose vices were to be attributed to the bourgeoisie. M. Leyret met a confirmed absinthe drinker of a curious type. This man was one of the best carpenters in the district, and when sober was never out of work. For weeks he would refrain from touching a glass of the green fairy, but, suddenly forgetting his good resolutions, would launch forth into a carouse on his favorite beverage, never going to bed until he had swallowed twenty-four glasses of absinthe, with copious draughts of wine in between. The author notes that the average faubatyieu workman is generally more given to eating than drinking. He eats neat, if possible, at luncheon and dinner, the former meal being the more substantial. He is careless about the future, and looks forward to dying straight off when he shall be no longer strong enough to toil. Alluding to the pleasures of the people, M. Leyret is gl«d to state that Beranger’s songs have not yet lost their charm for the toiling masses. As to the relations of tho exes, the author of “En Plein Faubourg” says that free unions are increasing among the workers, domestic arrangements being made on a family basis. The girls who leave their shops and factories for the Champs Elysees or the main boulevards are, however, shunned and despised by the faubouriens. M. Leyret concludes his interesting volume by some observations on the feeling of the working classes toward the anarchist and revolutionist movements in their midst. At present, he points out, material exigencies and the necessity of living keep the average workman resigned, but a desire of revenge lurks in his breast against a society in which he has to toil without the hope of what he considers an adequate reward for his services, and without any security that after a life of labor he will enjoy some repose with a moderate competency.

CANNONS OF STONE.

Defenaes of tho Fortress of Halts Cat Oat of tho Living Hock. The most wonderful cannons on record are those which are described by Byrdone, whose travels in Sicily and Malta won well-deserved renown toward the end of the last century. Many facts and stories he recounts that seem strangely old-world to us, though the date is little more than one hundred years ago, so grandly did the French revolution transform Europe. Malta was full of wonders, more or less droll, while the knights hold it, but nothiiur equaled the stone guns. Everybody knows that the fortifications were cut out of solid rock, but Ilrydone was right in saying that a kind of ordnance used to defend them was unknown to all the world besides. As we understand his description, the knights left a great block of stone where they hollowed out an embrasure in the c’.ifT, which afterward t!*iy shaped and bored in the form of a gigantic mortar. These engines contained a whole barrel of gunpowder. That shoveled in. they plugged it with a great piece of wood, fitted exactly to the bore, as a wadding, and loaded up with cannon balls, shells and other deadly materials. About fifty of these remarkable guns commanded the spots which a hostile ship was most likely to approach. “The mouths of some are six feet wide, and they are able to throw ten thousand pounds’ weight of balls or stone?.” The range is not stated, but the fallibg projectiles covered an area of over three hundred square yards.

ORIGIN OF SPOONING. Flxplanatlon of m Terni Much In Vogao at Present. Apropos the recent disturbance in religious circles over the definition of “spooning” the Tennessee version of it is given, says the St Louis Republic. “Spooning” parties are popular in some quarters. They take their name from a good old English word, which was intended to ridicule the alleged ! fantastic actions of a young man or a young woman who Is in love. For , somo reason, which no one ever could I explain, everybody pokes fun at the lover. In fact, that unhappy character | is never heroic In real life, no matter what great gobs of heroism are piled [ about him on the stage, and in all the romantic story books. The girl In love, and the hoy in love, are said to bo “spooney.” \\ hen a “spooning” party Is given the committee in charge of the event receives a spoon from each person who attends, or else presents each guest with a spoon. These spoons are fancifully dressed in male and female attire, and are mated either by the similarity of costume or by a distingishing ribbon. The girls and boys whose spoons are mates are expected to take care of each other during the continuance of the social gathering. Of course, the distribution of the spoons is made with tho greatest possible carefulness, the aim being to so place them us to properly lit the ease of the young people to whom they are’presented. The parties are usually given by the young people of some neighborhood, where the personal preferences of each spooney is well known, and they are the source of no end of fun. It is possible, also, that they serve as aids to matrimony as well, and are therefore commendable, since an avowal is rendered more easy to a diffident swain after he feels that his passion is not a secret, but that his weakness for a spooney maiden is known to his friends and enemies on the committee which dispenses the spoons. It may be mentioned that after the spoons have been distributed among the guests, each couple retires fur consultation regarding the reasons which caused the award of mated spoons in their case. This consultation is known by the name of “spooning." OVERRUN BY SWINE.

"Remarkable though the statement The latest narrative of the queer dois concerning the endurance of Chinese ings of the Florida wood rat, the best ■ soldiers, I can quite understand it,” said known of them all. comes from Mrs. C. tin ex-poliee surgeon of San Francisco F.

The $in<;ulAr Exp^rlettro of a French Soldier. An old French soldier. Col. De Gonneville, in writing the story of his military career, describes one curious adventure, which had nothing warlike about it, but in which for a moment he was in danger of his life. During one of his campaigns, says the Youth's Companion, he had stopped for the night in a house in which lived a lady and her daughter. It was early May, and in the evening, after dinner, I went out with the ladies for a walk. We took a road leading ont of the village between stone walls about four feet in height. Here at a place where the road made a sudden turn, so that we could not see what lay before us, I heard all at once a strange noise. It might have been produced by a tempest, but there was not a breath of air stirring. At that moment, my two companions, with signs of extreme terror, clambered over the wall, and I instinctively followed them. We were hardly on the other side before a dense drove of pigs, at least a hundred and fifty feet long, came round the turn with such fury that no obstacle could have stopped them. If we had not been out of the road, we should have been knocked down, and the whole drove would have gone over us. The women told me that we should have been picked up dead, or at least so mutilated as to be good for nothing. The swine, it appeared, were driven out to a wood in the morning, and at night were driven back to the village aud fed. The prospect of the trough made them so eager that they entered the village like an avalanche.

TRAINS SPARROWS TO FIGHT. Diversion to Which John Chinaman Ha. Given Illimelf In Gotham. There is a use for English sparrows which the average American citizen of sporting proclivities has not so far discovered. It remains for the Chinese in the L nited States to direct attention to a novel purpose to which cock sparrows maybe iev-eted joatewhat in compensation for their otherwise useless existence. That John Chinaman somewhere from some source inherited eonsiderable sporting blood, though he may not cut much of a shine himself in a street brawl with urchins and sandlotters, is pretty generally known. That he has a wholesome respect for American justice is ijso a familiar fact OocV fighting is prohibited; dog fighting likewise. So, in order to have just as much fun as he would at a cock or a dog fight John has made experiments with cock sparrows and the result is said completely to fill the measure of his happiness. The fighting sparrows are trained on the same principles as game cocks; their wings are clipped and their spurs fitted to gaffs as keen as the point of a needle. They can soon be trained to make as good fighters as two Spanish roosters, and those who have witnessed an exhibition of this sort declare that, next to a rat-killing, no Chinaman will 1 admit that anything can surpass in interest a cocking main between two educated sparrows.

The King: of Boasts Terrified by Hit Diminutive I or. A mouse was put in the cage of a lion to test whether, as the old fables asserted, there was a natural affection between them. The experiment, says an exchange, demonstrates that each was so afraid of tho other that no affection could exist between them. The lion saw the mouse before he was fairly through the bars, and was after him instantly. Away went the little fellow, scurrying across the floor and squeaking in fright. When he had gone about ten feet the lion sprang, lighting a little in front of him. The mouse turned, and the lion sprang again. Tlxis was repeated several times, the mouse traversing a shorter distance after each spring of the lion. Finally the mouse stood still, squealing aud trembling. The lion stood over him, studying him with interest. Presently ho shot out his big paw and brought it down directly on the mouse, but so gently that the mouse was not injured in the least, though held fast between the claws. Then the lion played with him, now lifting his paw and letting the mouse run a few inches, and then stopping him again as before. Suddenly the mouse changed his tactics, and, instead of running when tiie lion lifted his paw, sprang into tho air straight at the lion’s head. The lion, terrified, gave a great leap back, striking the bars with all his weight. Then he opened his jaws and roared and roared again, while the little mouse, still squealing, made his escape. Of the two the lion was the more frightened.

THE USEFUL DONKEY. It Performs Servlr® That Could Not Il« ArcomplUhed hy Any Other Mean*. A Mr. Shepherd has a very rich mine in an almost inaccessible part of the Mexican mountain ranges, a long way removed from any bailroad, which has been equipped at great cost with firstclass mechanical appliances. Some time ago, says the Scientific American, Mr. Shepherd concluded that his equipment required five thousand or six thousand feet of wire rope for carrier purposes, but how to get it up into his mountain fastness in a single piece, as required, was a question. By no possibility could it be moved from the railroad to final destination on wheels, and he didn't see how it could be carried by burros; but a Mexican did. He explained his plan, got tho contract for the IV4-inch cable, and successfully executed it. Here is the way he did it. lie coiled the rope up at fixed distances along its entire length, each coil being of approximate!}' the same size and designed to weigh three hundred pounds, and loaded it on a string of burros with proper ^cste’i’ngs. Tp take up the slack between each Iwoburroa, two Mexicans with padded shoulders were inserted and faithfully kept up their end, or portion, of the line. The procession was a curious one, to be sure, but it got there just the same.

Canine Labor in llHc'.tim. In this country the dog is really, in nine cases out of ten, the master of the man. In Belgium, however, his status is very different. One of the first things that impresses the stranger in Brussels is the immense number of dogs employed in drawing barrows and smaii carts about the streets, in tlie capital alone over ton thousand dogs are so engaged, and the number of draught dogs in the whole country is probably not less than fifty thousand. Generations of servitude have made the Belgian dog a race apart. For his size he is said to possess the greatest pulling power of any animal, four times his own weight being considered a load well within his powers. Taking Ids average weight as half a hundredweight, this means that something like five thousand tons are daily dragged about by canine labor in Belgium.

Why Women Wear EarringR. According to an old Spanish history of the conquest of New Grenada, the wearing of ear and nose jewels was a I privilege of lank among the natives. This was generally the case among all savage tribes, and its prevalence is the scientific reason for the atavism which leads American women to pierce their ears for rings long after they have abandoned the practice of sticking a ! pin through their noses to indicate j their high standing in society.

About a year later the ruts realized that Mrs. Latham had "given it up,” and lo! the pecans suddenly appeared one day upon her bed! ETIQUETTE FOR A CAT. Tabby Gets r* l.rAgon In Good Manners from a Young Alligator. A cat is lawless. A dog can be taught to come when called; a cat is heedless of the most persuasive invitations to present herself. The dog is obedient to rule; a eat despises etiquette, unless she has been taught to heed it by a more or less severe lesson. Here is an illustration, exhibited by a “Tabby” mentioned in St. Nicholas: Tabby manifested curiosity, mixed with jealousy, when Beelzebub, the alligator, was installed as a family pet. She acquired the habit of walking up to him and showing her displeasure by cuffing him with her paw. Then she would retire as if she had performed a

duty.

This was done once too often, for Beelzebub had harbored in his memory her former insults, and this last one proved too much for his injured spirit, llis eyes flashed with a yellowish light, and when Tabby was walking away he scrambled after her, seized her tail and clung to it viciously. This frightened the bully, and she started on a race around the room, taking aerial flights over chairs and tables, with Beelzebub desperately clinging to her tail. When we released tho panic-stricken Tabby we were surprised to find that Beelzebub was none the worse for his wild experience, and with widely distended jaws he breathed a general defiance; but Tabby had received a lesson, and she never molested Beelzebub again. A Long Lean©. The most curious document on file among the court records of America is a lease of 9,999 years, which maybe found transcribed in the Hebron (Conn.l Land Records, vol. ix., page On May 35, 1795, according to the above record, the trustees of the “Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts” leased 80 acres of land near the abovenamed place to one S. W. Chase and his heirs "during the full term therein stated, viz., 9,999 years.” The tenure is held on condition that the said "Chase, or his legal heirs, shall pay to John Sutton and John T. Peters,church wardens of said society, or their sueessors in office, one grain of pure silver or other silver, gold equivalent (if demanded), on St. John's day of each ensuing year.” There are many curious and whimsical tenures held in Great Britain, France and Germany, but it is doubtful if the records of America can preface anything equal to this longlived land lease, which will not terminate until the lapse of 9,899 years from the 25th of this month.

Fondnes* for Children.

In discussing the characteristics of eertaiu men, a Loudun journal calls attention to the fondness for children for which many men famous in history are noted. Conspicuous among these was Napoleon, who, it is said, used to take the infant king of Rome in his arms, and, standing in front of the mirror with him, would there make the oddest grimaces in the glass. At breakfast he would take the child ’’p^n his knee, dip his fingers in the coffee and daub his face with it, at which we are told the child's governess scolded, the emperor laughed and the young king almost always appeared delighted. Those who. on such occasions, had a favor to solicit from the emperor were generally sure of being favorably received. Of Cato, the Roman censor, it is told that no matter how much business he had on hand, or how Important that business was, he would never leave his home without first having

seen his wife wash the baby. Hindoo Serpent hupvriitition*

ory, low spirits, irritable temper, and the thousand and one derangements of mind

and body that result from, unnatural, pernicious habits usually contracted in youth, through ignorance, is thereby incapacitated to thoroughly enjoy life. He feels tired, spiritless, and drowsy ; his ’sleep isdisturbed and does not refresh him as it

should; the will power is weakened, morbid fears haunt him and may result in confirmed hypochondria, or melancholia and, finally, in softiug of the brain, epilepsy, (“fits”), paralysis, locomotor ataxia and even in dread insanity. To reach, re-claim and restore such unfortunates to health and happiness, is the aim of the publishers of a book of 136 pages, written in plain but chaste language, on the nature, symptoms and curability, by home-treatment, of such diseases.
