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

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

master it, however, or yield their places to i of
cleverer, more generous wits. 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

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

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.

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

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.

The Transfer of Property Talned at 2,000,
pOOr. Effected by a Clever Forgery.
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.
