The fact in that Americans who come to
Faria and don't know the ropes do get most
mercilessly swindled. Fully 50 per cent, of

city brings no return in value of any sort or
kind. Many leave I'aris imiigiinntly and vow
never to set foot in it again. Like the gentle

Much good money is wasted on guides and
couriers. The regulation fee for th- services
f these is $2 a day ami a meat Very few,
however, content themselves with such a
salary. It is to tho extras that they look for
their profits. Thus it is very usual at meal
times for the courier to take his client to an
expensive restaurant. His client can't speak
French, wants to sample French cookery and
1 .ids his guide order. The guide order every
thing that he likes and what is most exien
sive. If his client has not the same tastes as
he, so much the worse for him. When the
bill has leeii paid the courier pockets the
document and will call in the evening to get

The American I have referred to had in
tins way been taken to all the lest restaurants
in Paris and hud spent on himself ana
his guide what would sufiice to keep a
French peasant nnd his family for a year.
At ono Louse, which is noted for its good
cookery and tho moderateness of its prices,
ho had paid $107 for a breakfast which he
had been unable to eat. Elsewhere he hail
spent 40 on a dinner which he valued at
seventy-five cents.
To convince him that one can dine well
and cheaply in Taris, I took him to a restau
rant I frequent, consulted his tastes, and
gave him a dinner Winch cost me for the two
of us just $1.40. He said he had not dined
so well since he had lieen in Paris.
There is absolutely no necessity to take
one's guide to lunch or dinner, and if visitors
would remember this they would save much
money and fare very much better. In every
good restaurant in Paris there are waiters
who can speak English to translate the items
ion the bill of fare.
SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
Much annoyance would also be saved to
visitors who dine at the restaurants if they
would avoid visiting houses where the prices
it dishes arc not marked on the bills of fare.
At such houses tho amount of the bill de
pends on the appearance of squeezeability or
otherwise of the customer. The very cele
brated houses should be strictly avoided by
the American visitor, unless he is accom
panied by a habitue. Barring the pleasure
of a tickled vanity, there is scant profit in
paying $-"0 for a dinner barely worth $3.
It should also be remembered that prices
of dishes are for quantities sufficient for two
persons at all the better restaurants. Items
not marked on the bill of fare which may be
offered by the waiters should be left un
touched. Two or three prawns on a plate, a
few olives on another, and such kickshaws,
will, if touched, bring the bill up 25 per cent.
"Waiters are in the habit of putting these on
the table without being ordered to do so.
In the matter of change visitors should be

VARIOUS OLD SAYINGS
Absurd Old Saw That Wr One
lieved by Good People.
We are apt to regard various old saws that
have been preserved to us as the epitome of
the wisdom of old observers, and possibly of
some value for that reason, as tho old ob
server bad so little to distract attention and
thought that his or her observation was
likely to be closer and of nioro worth than
the generalization of today, when people are
skipping from point to point and. like roll
ing stones, staying nowhere long enough to
gather any moss. But how many of these
old saws and dicta are painfully absurd on
their face, almost cruel to recall, when we
remember that there were icople who had
no recourse but to believe in them; people,
too, who could hardly le blamed in their
day for any sort of belief, while both St.
Augustine and Melanctbon hail belief in
the existence and horrors of the wehr wolf.
Among those legends are a huge mass of
instructions as to which day of the week, for
ins'.anco, is the best ono for cutting tho hair
and trimming tho nails; rules, to le sure,
that aro observed by people of more or less
intellect and good breeding today, not, they
will tell you, that they really believe in them,
but that in case tho instructions might be
true, they prefer to be on the safe side and
escape the penalties. Instructions also
abound as to tho fit day for engaging ser
vants, for starting on journeys, for buying
houses, building, and other matters. Accord
ing to these old dicta, if one puts out of lied
in the morning tho left foot first, nothing
could go right for the rest of the day. If ono
did not want ghosts to visit tho lieds'de at
night, one must not put the heels of one's shoes
toward the bed in taking them ofT. In tho
same room with a newborn child a fire must
be kept burning, to ward on the evil spirits
that might make a changeling of it; tho
child must never be taken down stairs before
it has been taken up stairs, lest it should
never rise in the world ; it must not be shown
itself in the glass before it is three months
old, or it will die; it must not have its little
nails cut in that time, or it will prove a liar;
if its mothar touches blade or ax or scissors
on the day "of its christening, it will meet its
death by some sharp instrument; if the sign
of the cross bo not made over the baby's
mouth when it yawns, the devil will enter in
at it.
To whip a child on Sunday is to ruin it;
but to whip it on a Good Friday is to make
it well behaved all the rest of its life. Nor,
according to theso words of wisdom, can a
child be allowed to walk backward, for the
child who walks backward drives its parents
by just so many steps toward the bottomless
pit; nor may you allow a child to read and
eat at tho noma time, unless you are willing
to ruin its memory. Other matters, too,
como under the jurisdiction of these ancient
prohibitions. The wedding ring should not
bo too small, unless one wishes for misfort
une. Of the bridal pair the one who first
kneels in prayer, or lirst rises from prayer,
is tho ono who first dies. These and a
thousand others like them are the rem
nants of former days, "and we can well
congratulate ourselves that we have escaped
from fno prison walls of reliance on 60ch
notions and cau afford to laugh at our fallen
fetters. Harper's Bazar,

said tho captain. No. 1 grazed the right side
of the vessel, and it was thought must have

tho circumstance that the only light to be

standing near the doorway mechanically

I saw that tho door to the drawing

what appeared to bo women's wraps on tho

JOHN G. GRAPHOPHONE, ESQ.
A New Entertainment for Midsummer
Gnet Correct Artlculatlou.
The latest invention of the day, the graph
ophone, has also been seized upon by nov
elty hunters, aud graphophone parties are
anion ir the midsummer season's festivities.
The host begs, borrows or buys a grapho-
phone. Then she sends out cards for an in
formal reception "to meet Mr. Grapho
phone." An expert operator is on hand to
present Mr. Graphophone to the guests, and
bring out his strong points. But that
worthy is generally allowed to introduce
himself in a harsh voice, somewhat after the
following manner:
"How are you? (whir). How are you,
ladies? (irr), I hopo 1 (snappp) see you well
this evening (pop-pop-jiop). Let me intro
duce myself (whir). I'm um-m 'raphophone,
(jiop), John G. Urrrapbphoue, Esq., etc,
eta"
After the professional has put the thing
through its paces, tho guests are invited to
"tackle" it. It is worth tho full price of ad
mission to see the scared, nervous look with
which a woman puts the receiver up to her
ear, after her doubts as to its diabolical na
ture have been silenced, but not obliterated.
The novice who tries to talk into it looks us
sheepish as though he were being compelled
to make love in the presence of a congrega
tion, and everything, even the most ordinary
platitudes of the telephone service, fly from
his memory and leave him speechless. There V.
generally a rising young ttyior in the party
who sings his latest song into tho machine,
and is a good deal astonished at the timbre
of the voice that comes back to him. It is a
fact that while the double mirror has long

no one, before tho introduction of the jrraph
Ophone into society, ever l. J.; ua

nize his own voice when reproduced by a
graphophone, while from a medley comjiosed

If the graphophone ever comes into general
use it will be the most powerful agency ever
designed for tho improvement and perfection

or slurring of a syllable or consonant, is mag
nified by the machine, atid frequently leaves
a blank of half or three-fourths of a word.

Making: Designs for Advertisements.
Some six months ago an artist of my ac
quaintance complained to mo in bitter terms
about the difficulty ho had. in making both
ends meet He was a painter of decided
ability, whose works should certainly have
sold upon their merit, but he was unknown
outside of artistic circles, and even in the
auctions to which he occasionally sent them
when driven to desperation, his canvases
brought no remunerative prices. Last week
I encountered my artist friend again. He
was doing the swell on Fifth avenue, with
tho most stylish of summer suits aud a gen
eral air of aifluenco. He informed me that
ho had just came to town from Atlantic
City, and was going to take a run down to
Newport for a couple of weeks. I asked
him if he had coma into a fortune, and lie
laughed.
"2ot exactly," said he, "The fact is, it is
soap. When I got so deucedly hard up that
I could uot have been any worse off, an ac
quaintance of mine, who is one of the edi
tors of a big magazine, sent f ir me to desig-a
a soap advertisement for that periodical I
was well paid for it Since then I have
been kept busy making designs for adver
tisements in the newspapers and magazines.
It pays cash, and more cash in proportion to
the labor thau painting pictures, and there is
more of it than I care to do. I have fre
qently to decline orders iu order to find time
to continue my painting."
It is a fact that few of the public are
aware of, I suppose, that many of the adver
tisement designs which appear in the various
publications of the day are executed by the
most prominent artists in the country. If
they were signed by the designers' names
they would be recognized as the productions
of men whose pictures receive high praise
at the regular art exhibitions ami whose
reputations are high in tho roll of American
artists. What with designing advertise
ments and making illustrations for books
and magazines, it is a very poor artist who
nowadays cannot earn a good living. For a
long time many of our painters held out
against the seductions of the commercial
community on the ground that it was be
neath their dignity to sacrifice their art to
business, but it is a rare case at present when
such a commission is refused. Alfred Trum
