Those factB aro made cloar enough, even to the wayfaring readur, by Helen ClurgUtt In "Tho Sulou, a btory of French Society uud IVi-hou-iilltius In the Eighteenth Ceiitury. ' The author has emphujliud t:.u iu 1 Uiifuco of tho eighteenth century ia lot, a. but not, we think, unduly. S,.o reaches the conclusion that the un ion, in 1U old sense, cannot cui.vi again but we are not bo uuio ol tliut She nays: The historical salon, which w;:a tho Instigator of original tlionsnt, and the arblttcr of tastw and iu;m curs, was sacrificed by It o.vn civ.i Ujii; It evoked a destroying spirit, by whose agency, uoverthelotw, the po.-.itlon of woman as u whulo, wr.s Incalculably raised. Tho salon ca.i.u to an eud with that society In whloh alone It could reach pro-em! nenco, and It can no more be runublluuied than can tho structure with which it loll. The salon, taken In Itself, might conceivably be restored, since men and women and drawing rooms all II exist; but Its relation to the life of an epoch is the thing which It would be bo difficult to renew. What was the salon of the eigh teenth century? In her accouut of Julie de Lesplnasse, the author of tola book makes it clear what It was In its best estate. Mile, de Lespln asse forsook all ordinary pleasures and intercourse in order to main tain her salon. She received every evening from 6 to. 10. and so rarely was this rule broken that an occa sional vlblt In the country wus an event talked of throughout Paris. At her assemblies she effaced herself, ap parently that is to say, she took no prominent part In the conversation, but acted as its guiding force. Marmoutel gives an account as an cye-wltness or her liilluenee over the ulversillod company, which sho and d'Alembert gathered about them. Ho likens tho dissimilar personality grouped in her salon to the chords of au instrument from which, though diverse In themselves she with her urt, drew forth tho most exquisite liarmonloa. "Nowhere," he says, "wan thu conversation moro lively, moio brilliant, more solid or better regulated. ." It niiut bo remembered that Ju'.le do I.eop;iia.;i,u was a poor girl, of 11-h-e'Uluuitu birth; that tho offered no lu..ury or jrace of surroundings to the great t.itn who came to her little parlor; ind above all that she never gave theui aiiyihlng to eat! JLoy c:iu.o, quita maulifstly, for what they voi to talk about, and they talked to tivat purposoo.

The statlutlcs prepareJ by me ijv ernraont bureaus at Washlugtou witii reference to the "exports declared tor the United States" ure not buch dull reading as might be expuetod. There are many surprising detnils, which If gathured lr.to a comprehen sive story would r.ive an Interesting ldoa of tho current of the world's commerce. In the popular mind the names of Important cities are often associated with some dlstlngutstlug product In much the same way they would be as sociated with historical events or po litical promlneuce. In the first place, take Urussels. Brussels suggests carpets, of course; yet for Borne years Uelglum has not exported to the United States more than a few thousand dollars' worth of carpets. But we do get from that country plate glass, cement, linens, and laces In tremendously large quantities. Jamaica sends us some ginger; but a great deal more lu value of ban anas and sugar. From Cologne we receive a fair quantity of cologne; but fifty times as many dollars' worth of mineral waters. home suggests at once art and literature; but nearly half of the Im ports from the Italian capital comes In the form of cheese. Athens sends but little, chiefly iron ore. The other Greek cities sell cur rants, which really form the staple of Greek trade with the United States. Out of Jerusalem we E-'t "religious articles made of mother of pearl." Genoa, the birthplace of Colombus, (iudd In tho land he discovered a market for olive oil. Raw silks lead In Mllun; horaehldes are among the freat exports of Moscow; clay pipes and lace are tho somewhat Incongru ous combination forwarded from Calais. Antiquities and gum figure high in Cairo's list. From Egypt we also get some mummies from which u peculiar plrment is made for the Use of artists. Tho Forests of France. France contains lu all over 23, 000,000 acred of wooded lauds. The State owns about 2,707,000 acres, which are well guarded and taken tnre of, and the various depart ments and communes postos some 8,472,000 acreu of forest which are uct to well manuged. Tho remain ing timber Is owned by private in terests, and often large tracts are told to speculators, who, after cut tins off the trees regardless of size, tell the land for grazing. Due to this, resinous trees are fast disap pearing, tho ash and acacia can scarcely" be found, the poplar Is be coming rare, and the chestnuts of the mountains have nearly disap peared. Gaul, once the home of the great oak forests, now has to seek other countries to furnish the necess ary supply of oak, and at present France Imports more than $7,000, 000 worth, Inferior to that once grown, from Austria, Rou mania, Russia, Germany, and America. To Move Greenwich Observatory. Tim Greenwich observatory win have to bo moved. From year to year the magnetic observations made there have become less reliable be cause of the Increasing traffic; and the impending establishment of large electric works in the immediate neighborhood will make It necessary to make the nautical calculations elsewhere.
