This sprinjr toilet of Paris, if a gay, is still a sericus business, because ot its extent. There are over 300 acres within the walls ot the city to be cared lor. This space is di vided into squares, boulevards, gardens and parks. The squares of Paris are of modern orlein. The first one was made 40 years ago, when the city began to be remodeled. The first suggestion of scattering small open spaces at equal intervals all over the city was greeted with derision. It was Utopian, impractical. But one square was made around a picturesque old gothic tower which the city wanted to save and everybody was so charmed that the clamor for others became unanimous. Since that first square in 1856 some 75 have been opened and two large ones are now making. Every quarter of the town has its own open space, and I do not know of a spot where a five-minutes' walk will not take the poorest as well as the richest into a green place furnished with seats and running water and cool with shade. Where tbs Parisians Promenade. But the Parisians love to walk as well as eit in the shade, so thev have inscribed at intervals within the circle which the city makes two great lines of boulevards lined witti large and flourishing trees. Besides these two circles there are various short avenues of great luxury, such is the avenue of the Observatory, the splendid court of the Queen, a relic ot Marie de Medicis, and the new boulevard of Richard Lenoir, with its quadruple rows of trees and with gar dens end fountains running its length. The so-called wardens ot Paris are Dot arranged so fairly as the boulevards an'-d squares. They are most of them relics ot the days of the Kings and nobles, and 'were placed m here we find them to-day Jojr tbe arbitrary will of these privilegei4-' beings, not as the new open spaces nave been located, to give the greatest advantage to those of the greatest need. 'dome of these gardens are famous the wr-rld over. Who has not heard of the Tui'enes, the Luxem bourg, the Champ-El-es, the garden of the Palais Eoyale. They are, without doubt, the mosttlteresting places of the kind in Paris, an" J the most popular. Two important gardens are the scientific. One is the famous Jardin des Plantes, a combined z'oological and botanic garden, and the sje of various important scientific scboohvf'museums and libraries. This garden lies ir the east of the city. Equality has toostrong a hold on the French mind to permit the east side to possess more than - che west, so several years ago a tract of nearlr cald for br the crowd of rich forelzn- I ers which her rich beauty keeps constantly wuiiiu ucr gates. iua luioresb ui lucac places has quite a strong hold on the for eigners. It does not matter what your mood Is, these squares and gardens are al ways able to satisfy you. Suppose you are of a sanguinary cast and dote on horrors. In the glittering Place de la Concorde you can satisfy your thirst by recalling the guil lotine which stood there in the Eelgn of Horrors ana cut off heads galore, or you can sail on the lake in the Battes Chaumout and picture the gibbet creaking above you. If you are amorous, why half the nobility of France whispered their vows in these trnrApntL Tf vein nr nt.nrlvincsnfiifll develon- ment what more interesting evolution coulijj one trace than that which has' transferred the garden from a private pleasure eround, shut in by high walls, to a public one, free to all the world. The Promenades and Grave ?iard. There are two features of Paris which really belong properly to b, er promenades, though not primarily for that her quays and fortifications. Bothare clean and beau tiful, and are used constantly by those who dwell near them. ,f co-operativehomes. Pittsburg Might Beaconsfiehd ITS The cemetery. which with us is such a favorite promenade, is of no use in Paris. A French cemetery is a monument of ugli ness. It is crowded, inartistic, distressing. Nobody wal'ks in it save to pay his respects to the der-d or to hunt epitaphs. The old-fashionr-'d gallant whose great delight is to condtv-'ct his admired one through one of our preMy" grave yards would have no chance at ajju if he were to turn up in Paris. 7 Ida M. Tabbell.

Plenty of open spaces are to be as necessary features of the future city as plenty of pure water and sewerage. The city of Paris is the most shining ex ample in the orld of the value of this theorem. To appreciate fully her lungs one should see her in the month of June. Her annual toilet has just been finished, and she is in a.l the radiant freshness and per fection of her charms. This making of the "toilette de Paris," as a time-honored ex pression puts it, is a merry sort of work. In park and rarden and square it goes on through the months of April and May. Seats are repainted, dead orbroken sod is patched, walks are freshly sanded, shrubs and flowers are set out. Cleaning the rnnntnln Basins. One of the most interesting parts of the work is cleaning the fountain basins. There was set apart just outside the west wall for what is known as the Acclimation Garden. Here to-day may be seen in process of acclimation antilopcs, gazelles, llamas, kangaroos.quag cas, all the animals of all tue climates. Here is a wonderful winter garden, an aquarium with all things from the seas, a monkey's palace, and stables where one can hire not onlv horses and donkeys, but ele- j phants, camels, zebras and ostriches. This lsil t nil, tue jiccuniiiiiua uuruea ia ueTcr without a tribe of savages, or demi-savagee, in black, yellow or red skins. The Four Parks or the Cltj". The parks of Paris are four in number, Monceau, Buttes-Cliaumont, Montsouris and Tracadero. As public parks they all belong to the new period ot the city, though the first had a fine history as a con vent and gentleman's park in tho last cen tury. Since the Itevolution it has been one ot the pieces of property which have been tossed from state to noble according as re public or monarchy prevailed in France. It fell into the hands ot the citv in 1852 and 8grin,.FSfi ,-igrVimwwrnf SCEKE IN THE PARK OP BTJTTES CHATJMONT. are 60 of them, and each must be drained, repaired and painted. I never fail to hang with other loungers over the stone rim and watch the process. The moment of Greatest Interest is when the water disappears and one can see the debris accumulated. I have always been amazed that there is so little. A beer bottle or two, a broken pipe, per haps an old shoe, that is about all, save the mud and sediment. In one of our Ameri can cities there would be a cartload of stuff The Parisians know how to care for their citv. The putting of new trees in the place of the sickly or dead is another feature of the sprinc cleaning which never fails to attract the idle. The transplanting of large trees has been carried to great perfection here. The process roughly outlined is the follow ing: A trench is dug about the roots, leav ing a mass of earth of about five cubic feet. This mass is enveloped firmly in a coat of fiine branches, or, if it is a rare specimen, n one ot thin slats fastened together with cords. This envelope prevents the earth giving awav and exposing the tender rootlets. The transplanting wagon is now rolled over the roots, and a tackling of boards and chains fastened under and around the mass. By means of pulleys the tree is then raised above the surface of the ground, the trunk is steadied by ropes, and the wagon, a stately tree rising from its middle, passes down the street. Each tree Is snrronnded by a system or drains, and its roots at protected at the surface by an iron grating i hich gives it air and water. Trees thus transplanted and treated rarely die. The Municipal Hot II omen. The Parisians are not more proud of their 88,200 trees tnuu thev are of the thousands of plants which blossom from the first March crocus to the last Norember dahlia all over the citv. This lavish adornment it is now a perfect masterpiece of the English style of gardening. Buttes Chaumont and Jlontsouris are chiefly interesting as examples of what good gardening can make of barren places. Both sites were originally hopeless-looking wastes. The first added to its dreariness most unsavory traditions. The gibbet of the middle ages stood on one ot its heights, and its irregular, rocky surface (it had been a great quarry) concealed half the ruffians of the time. Here also the rubbish of the city was carted, and here were the slaughter houses. To-day Buttes Chaumont is, acord- mg to my way ot t tun ting, the most pic turesque park in Paris. The Tracadero, with the Champ de Mars just across the river, are relics of the expo sitions of 1878 and 1889. If Chicago comes out of the World's Fair with as great a, practical proof of the value of an exposition a this park, there will be greater rivalry than ever for the next great show. Before the expositions the space was a barren, sandy tract. To-day it is the favorite prom enade of a large part of Paris. It is a les son not only for cities, but for towns which hold fairs and races. "Why not make of such grounds something besides eyesores in the landscape? The open spaces of Parisinclude twogTeat parks ot about 2,250 acres each, which have been entirely remodeled in recent years. They are just outside the walls, one to the east the other to the west. Seven Millions Tor Pnb'ic Pleasure. Of course, the making of all these places has cost a pretty penny. It is estimated that the work of putting the two great parks in order, of opening the three new parks, of decorating the Champs Elysies, and of layinc out the first 25 squares cost tT,000,000. This great sum has done more than to give sunshine and pleasure, fresh air and freedom to the poor and rich of Paris. It has had its material results. looks like an awful expsnse, but, thanks to j Land near the Park Monceau which before the eitTjiive munioip.il hot homes, it is not so ltd i.s it teens.

Tho Storj of Columbus' Reception at Santa Maria de Kablda. Standing high on the white shores in the Southern part of Spain, near the little town ofPalos, is a Franciscan convent dedioated to Santa Maria de Bablda. It is but a poor place, and even then, in that ont of the way part of the world, its poverty must have been conspiouous. It fell into ruin early in the present century, but was restored in 1855. At the time Columbus left Portugal the prior of the convent was Juan Perez, a generous man of broad views and consider able cosmographical lore. His life on the coast had thrown him in contact with sailors ot all nationalities, and he had kept pro gress in geographical science. Few applied for shelter and food in that out of the way place, and it was therefore a matter of surprise to him when a tall stranger, with lordly bearing, leading a little Doy oy the hand, asKed tor relief. A brother of his wife lived near Palos, and it was probably, to visit him that Columbus went there. Keeping the wanderer and his cniid tor a tew days, Perez soon discovered the loft aspirations of his guest, and, be coming impressed with his ideas and the extent of his knowledge, he summoned many of the learned men of the neighbor hood, including the city physician and a wealthy vessel owner of the .name of Pin zen. One of the mariners,Tulasio by name, strengthened the views of Columbus in the minds of his auditors by telling of a strange land he had seen 30 years before, when his ship had been blown a long distance to the north nest of Ireland. The friendship formed in this convent nurtured the falling hopes of Columbus and the fame of his project spread rapidly throughout the neighborhood. The prior busied himself in endeavoring to obtain an audience for Columbus at the court High T0UNG A yOTCCESS Well Adopt Terrace Idea. the !0R BOSTON. fime Gas City People Were Looking Out for Solid Comfort PEOPLE'S CLUBS IN LONDON GOSSIP OF THE GTAB1X Hospital Stewaed Stort, or the Tenth Begiment, was in the city for a few days last week.

Sixth treat. rwaiTTEX tor the msrATCH.l The numerous suburbs and small towns rapidly springing up around Pittsburg sug gest a consideration of the co-operative dwellings described in a receut issue of the Ntv England Magazine by John Waterman. These houses, or as they are known in Bos ton, ''Beaconsfield Terraces," are situ ated in one of the loveliest sub urbs of the country, namely, Brookline, about four miles from Boston. Here one has, according to the stereotyped advertise ment of all suburban places, "all the ad vantages of country life with the conven iences of city living," and here some ten or a dozen years ago Mr. Eugene B. E napp purchased considerable (then unimproved) land for the purpose of erecting a country residence for his own use. About four years ago he conceived the idea of building a group or blook of houses with advantages and conveniences at nomi nal prices by a co-operative arrangement These dwellings were not intended for the very poor, but for that numerous class in each city the comfortably fixed business men who desire to live within easy distance of their offices. To quote freely from Mr. Waterman: The Boston Idea In Detail. "Mr. Knapp felt confident that well-to-do people would appreciate an opportunity of living in thoroughly built houses which would not need the constant repairing most houses in this country require, and bo he had these terraces built on the old English plan of solid foundations, solid walls, weil sesjoned timbers and roofs made to keep ont the rain as well as to look ornamental. They were built of stone and brick, some representing the French chateau style and others in more of a com bination of the English and medieval castle architecture, modified, of course, to insure all the modern conveniences in the interior arrangement of rooms, these beiug all that the most fastidious taste could desire, the architects having taxed their ingenuity to give every room in the house abundance of light and a beautiful view of the surround ing country. One of the most striking things to the eye of the visitor it the ex quisite taste in which the rooms have been decorated and the generous proportions of all rooms, halls and fittings. "A boiler house is situated to the west ward, and away from the houses inahollow. The steam pipes are conducted underground in some instances over 2,000 feet to the dif ferent terraces, and the main pipe runs through the basement of each house, so that the occupants of each dwelling can regulate the temperature according to indi vidual needs. The temperature in each room can also be regulated and the regular supplv to the house can be increased or de creased as desired by communicating with the engineer at the boiler house. Arrange ments are also made whereby a continual inflow of fresh air is assured. There are two boilers each of 250 hoise-power, so that in case of accident the houses will not be without heat. The cost of heating varies according to size or exposure of house, this including all repairs. The Provisions for Pleasure. "A casino connected with the terraces is a sort of club building used by children dur ing the day to play in and for dancing and social gatherings by the adults in the even ings. It includes a fine conservatory, where an abundance of flowers in bloom the year round may be had of the gardener at stated prices. The casino has a bowling alley, billiard room, etc., all arranged so that by means of sliding doors amateur theatricals may be produced with all acces sories of stage, auditorium, scenerr, etc "Stables that accommodate 250 horses with large carriage room, hayloft, etc., are built on low land near, where tenants may board their own horses or hire at a cost of one-third less than at ordinary boarding stables. These stables are connected with each house by electric bells and a code of signals so arranged that equipages may be brought to the door or taken away without trouble. A park of six acres laid out with walks, driveways, trees and flowers adds much to the pleasure aud comfort." The advantages accruing to people living in this way can hardly be estimated. It combines all the pleasures and benefits of a large country estate without the trouble and expense of its maintenance. Mr. Knapp has erected now in all four terraces, or 3G dwellings, all of which have been sold in a little over three years, or at the rate of one a month, some being taken long before com pletion. The park is held in semi-owner1-ship by both the purchasers and Mr. Knapp, he being under contract to keep the park in order for 15 years, when it is to be turned over to the then owners of the property. The rapid increase in value of such im provements is shown by the fact that this whole estate in 18S0 had an assessed valua tion of $15,000, while in 1890 the taxes alone amounted to 510,000. Combining Philanthropy and Basinets. Now if such luxuries can be so highly ap preciated in Boston, where are some ot the most beautiful suburbs in the United States, with all their nearby advantages ot sea coast parks and clear skies, why would not some "Beaconsfield Terraces" planted near Pittsburg produce good fruit? Why will not some of our moneyed men (or women) combine business and philanthropy and build a terrace or two in some of our lovely river locations? Pittsburg with its high rents and expen sive living is becoming only a place for ex isting not living, except to the very wealthy. Our cities stretch out to such an extent that a man cannot spare the time to live too far out of town, and build ing has been so animated for the past few years that a family now must really go some distance to find genuine open country and breathable air. If some of our numerous land improve ment companies could be induced to set aside sufficient laud for the purpose of park etc, along the bank of one ot the rivers and build really substantial handsome dwellings with enough variation within and without to redeem them from a sameness and monotony and at the same time give the occupants all the privacy and seclusion necessary in each domain while the privi leges of greater sociability and enjoyment could be had in the general park and .pavilion, they would find it both profitable and popular, supposing, of course, that the building and planning was conducted in the solid, honest, conscientious manner in which those near Boston have been. The Business of Heine; Happy. When the people have become educated to the terrace idea they will demand it, and how much more inviting than the city club will that home Casino appear to the male vision with its cozy smoking room, the well fitted billiard parlor, the beautiful conser vatory with all its esthetic adjuncts of color and perfume, that bowling alley resounding with the click of balls and the musical chime of laughing voices, the large recep tion or amusement hall where one can enjoy an interesting chat with neighbors, a good song or a little waltz, all within the shelter of your own doorway, so to speak. The possibility of cultivating and promoting the business of happiuest would be almost limitless. Pittsburg with her rapidly ineraatW population should keep abreast of the times in all things. I am almost Inclined for the industry of "keeping boarders" hat come to be one of magnitude in both towns. For that reason, why would not one or more of those large young people's homes or clubs, now becoming so common in London, be a popular thinjr here? A large building on the plan of an immense hotel, with the lower floors given up to reading rooms, offices, reception rooms, billiard rooms, dining halls, etc, while the upper stories are en tirely arranged in small suites of rooms, each consisting of sitting room and alcove I bedroom wonld be popular. In London these are thoroughly provided with all con veniences of electric lights, electric bells, heat, artistic and substantial furnishings, etc, while the building throughout has all modern improvements and appliances, elevators, fire escapes, proper sanitary ar rangements, etc The rooms are let at prices ranging from $3 50 to H 00 a week, according to location; while the occupants have the choice ot taking their meals in the building or outside These with proper and judicious management are said to pay a good round interest on the money invested, while hundreds of young people employed in offices, stores, etc, have a chance of living comfortably and really luxuriously within their income. Serionsly Considered In New York. I understand that there is already talk and plans for erecting such buildings in New York City, and if there why not here? Pittsburg is full of busy, enterprising, am bitious young people who would hail such movements with enthusiasm and promote them by immediate and liberal patronage When we remember also that in Junction City, Kan., there has been in operation since January, 1891, a cooking and eating club, composed and upheld by the most prominent people of the place and that they have successfully accomplished the main object set forth in their constitution and by-laws to "reduce the annoyance and expense of housekeeping by co-oneration and consolidation," we must really begin to look to our Eastern laurels, or rather to the proper maintenance of that favorite slangy boast that whatever goes on Pittsburgert are "always strictly in it" When we allow ourselves to imagine a goodly proportion of our population living in "Beaconsfield Terraces," enjoying every modern convenience and luxury at nominal prices, another portion occupying young people's homes or clubs, and ye't others co operating in a sort of family club life, or rather putting Bellamvisni to practical use when the Ladies' Health Protective As sociation shall have evolved pure air and clear skies as a result of the earnest efforts now being put forth, all this forms such a dream of happiness that we return re luctantly to the contemplation of life as it it in Pittsburg in the year of our Lord 1892.

Adolphe de la Boussiniere, a Boyalist, left 2,000,000 francs to a nephew and cousin, passing over his 80-year-old brother be cause he was a Kepublican. Soon after the legatees took possessidn a new will, unim peachable in orthography, was discovered, leaving all the money to the brother. This effected a transfer of the property, says the New York Sun. This will had been brought to the brother by a notary named Guyard, who obtained a promise that he should receive half the fortune. It had been forged by a litho grapher named Charpentier, who from a mass of Boussioniere's letters had taken all necessary words and transposed the writing upon a new paper. Nothing would have been discovered had not Guyard, being greedy for more money, begun to write anonymous blackmailing letters to the brother, who innocently showed them to the police. The case was investigated and the will discovered to be a foreery. The two criminals were sentenced to prison lor ten years, and the brother, who was, in fact, wholly guiltless, was merely forced to give the property back to its rightful owners. 3Xe-txojpolltciLxx Hotel, ASBTJBY PARK, N.
