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.
Julie l.eoplni.sse was born for her
triloa, but she nevertheless had a

tr luut. M:n. du Doffaud, who had

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.
