I COPYRIGHT. 1895.1
At five o'clock in tho afternoon, at
this season of tho year, it is largely a
tea-drinking* Paris. Drop into a few of
the bouillon shops about that time, to
be convinced of tho fact. You will
hear not a little of your native tongue,
for Paris is very American, and very
English, just now. The tourists have
full possession.
Hut think not that it is tourists or
the English-speaking people alone that
take their five-o'clock with the regu
larity of a substantial meal. To bo
sure, it was the English that first
brought it to the French capital, but
the inhabitants thereof were quick to
take it up, and it is now an established
function in many a French household.
*'Oh, you will very soon learn to drink
tea here," they say to the American
who denies herself on the plea of nerv
ousness. "Everybody does."
Nor is the fashion restricted to fem
ininity. As many men as women call
for their little pot of tea and sip it lux
uriously in the pretty tea room.
There are two or three of these
rooms where the most fashionable re
pair with great regularity every after
noon. Perhaps the prettiest of all is
the one patronized by Lady Dufferin,
the princess of Wales, and, indeed, by
all of the English nobility that find
themselves in Paris.
The cool room is peculiarly English,
softly carpeted, with one or two paint
ings on the walls. Small, round tables,
highly polished, are scattered about, a
few strewn with magazines. On tho
others are set dainty trays, inlaid in
gold and silver, bearing the tea service
in finest china. The low windows aro
a mass of plants and delicate ferns.
The chairs—strange thing for Paris—
are comfortable, most of them of
" wicker.
Everything moves quietly, and you
are in a delicious, dreamy atmosphere.
Tea is served very hot. in a shining lit
tle pot; j'our napkin is a small linen
doily, spotless, with the hemstitch
carefully handworked. Your muffins
and crumpets are genuinely English,
you feel certain the moment you taste
them. All the world speaks softly, al
though the room is crowded. The nuin

ber of men surprises you. Many oi
them come in, unaccompanied by ladies,
wanting tea for its own sake.
Miss Davies, the hostess, comes and
speaks to you. It does not take her
long to get acquainted with her guests.
A protege of Lady Dufferin, her story
is full of interest. It was only a few
3*ears ago that she lost her fortune in
London and came hero to establish
this little tea place. liut her heart is
elsewhere. She is deeply interested in
painting, and gives to the art all her
leisure moments.
Of course you look at the style, and
it strikes you at that moment that if
there is any particular color that the
Frenchwoman affects, for carriage and
afternoon wear, it is, perhaps, gray— !
pale gray, in a big fluted silk crepon.
No less than four enter the room with
in a few minutes, each worn by a girl
that is unmistakably a Parisienne. One
is combined with pale yellow, two
with white, the other is all gray.
One of the whites is very pretty, with
a loose front of white silk, and with
the revers of the small godeted Jfieket
faced with white satin and overlaid
with laos. She wears white gloves and
hat.
Her companion wears a fresh sum- !
mer silk of blue and white stripe, with j
the blouse shirred regularly into small
puckers.
An exquisite white toilet, all in mo
hair, enters next. There is no color,
save in her cheeks, and those are deeply
enough tinted —is it by the sun, or by
the wine that she habitually drinks,
one would say, to note the careless way
In which she orders? Not every one
drinks tea. Oh, no! Some are sipping
wine, others strawberry ices, and there
\ are delicious tarts fast disappearing.
J You stroll into another place. It is
in the Hue Damon, and everybody
knows it and visits it before leaving
Paris. It is not half so pretty to look
at, or so comfortable to lounge in, but
it gives you delicious beverages, and
is always filled with fashionables; so
' you do not complain.
The Americans, some of them, go to a
place on the Avenue de l'Opera. There
you will rarely seo French or English.
The Americans are willing to pay the
prices, and the "five o'clock" flourishes.
There are plent of shirt waists in
Paris—at the shops and on the tourist.
Put the Frenchwoman never wears
them. The great feature of American
street costumes in summer and for
ordinary afternoon wear as well, the
plain, dark skirt, with shirt waist sur
mounting it, is scorned by a Parisian.
She may wear a corsage with her dark
skin, but it will be of a different sort—
sillc or mousseline or some pretty
batiste, puffy and always trimmed.
The other costume might do for tennis,
but never for the streets.
The shopping costume of the French
woman is far more chic. There is one
all in golden brown, a dark tint, „hat
I saw the other day. Over the plain
skirt fell the short jacket that has al
together replaced the discarded fignro—
the jacket that turns back in broad
though sharp revers, and continues
gracefully after the sharply rounded
front, in small godets at the sides and
back. A very cool and very loose front,
of alternate white batiste and pale yel
low insertion, hung inside. White satin
faced the revers and lined the jacket.
Another that is perhaps more original
: has its jacket trimmed with a deep
collar that sweeps over the shoulders
in an easy line. In front the jacket is
turned back in a straight line, from
top to bottom, about three inches, and
' the band thus formed embroidered in
small black designs. The back is go*
deted. The silk front is closely shirred
throughout the center. The coloring
in this costume is in good taste. A
bluish gray, in fine mixed wool, makes
skirt and jacket; the front is of clear
blue silk, and black embroideries and a
fine braid edging the collar and front
bands emphasize the paler tints.
The Parisienne mademoiselle is o
pretty sight to look upon, and when
there are two or three of her in a fam
ily she becomes part of a pleasing pic
ture. lam not speaking of the young
lady who has been formally presented
to society, but of the damsels who havo
j scarcely turned eighteen summers.
They go out walking with mamma or
chaperon, and there are often two or
three in a family. You will notice
them at once; for their long locks
hung in simple waves far down their
backs—all the young girls seem to have
very long hair and they are all
dressed exactly alike. One cannot dis
cover a shade of difference.
One wonders at first whether this is
not another phase of the economy
which is constantly cropping out among
the French, even among the wealthy
French. Put a modiste assured me
that it was not so.
I "Oh, no; it is distinctly the most
proper thing to dress young girls of a
family alike. Sometimes it is not easy
| to suit two or three in tints anil styles
! especially where there arc blondes and
brunettes. It is puzzling to get tints
| that will suit each.
I "The girls themselves do not like it.
I remember a blonde and brunette pair
j —both of them have just been married
' —and they used to compromise by wear
ing on one day the favorite color of the
blonde, and the next day that of tho
; brunette.

BRAZILIAN ZEBRAFISH.
t Real Novelty for Ladles Fond of Pretty
Aquarium Pes.
This new aquarium fish was first
brought to Germany by an enthusiast
a year ago and was successfully prop
agated last summer. We saw the origi
nal imported fish, with their fry. Our
picture, which we reproduce from
Naturund Ilaus, is a good representa
tion.
The fish attains a size of about five j
inches in length by two inches in width. ;
The general appearance is that of a
sunflsh; the ground color of the body,
which is entirely covered with small
scales similar in size to those of the
Paradise fish, is a brassy yellow marked j
with a number of irregular vertical
bars or stripes of black; the dorsal and
anal fins are large and long, being 1
composed of a great many rays of
which about one-third are spinous;
they are black in color; at times, how- I
ever, when the fish is excited, the yel
low of the body becomes brighter aiul
runs in streaks into the black dorsal
fin, making this appear as if it was a
continuation of the body; the ventral
fin is colorless and transparent; the
caudal fin is rounded. The eyes arc
yellow, flashing like fire on some occa
sions, and reseinblingthosc of the moss
bass.
The fish is very attractive, especially
when excited, it reminds one of a her
ald of the middle ages, whose dress
used to display the colors of their mas
ters in stripes. At other times the fish
will assume a very plain grayish color I
with only one irregular black spot on
each side of the body, midways and
near the ends of the dorsal and anal j
fins. Young specimens show these pc- i
culiar markings even more distinctly
than the adults.
The habits of the zebrafish are very
much like those of our moss bass; they |
are very pugnacious and display the i
same motions when attacking one an- i
other as the moss bass do, but their i
point of attack is the mouth, and if they ''
succeed in grasping it, they hold firmly, '
like much fighting male Paradise fish !
do, until the weaker gives up. Put*al
though they fight a great deal we have
not yet seen one that was seriously j
hurt. They seem to be on friendly terms
again soon after.
Their breeding habits, too, are much
like those of the sunflsh family. They
pair off during the summer and prepare
a nest on the bottom of the tank, where
BRAZILIAN ZEBRAFISH.
the female deposits her eggs, which
both guard. Four days ufter spawn*
ing the young hatch. These are as
carefully guarded as the eggs were,
and later on the fry are instructed for
their future career by both parents,
who swim about with them as a hen
walks around with her chicks. We
find that the zebrafish stand captivity
well, immensely enjoying their meals,
consisting of scraped raw beef or 1. X.
L. fish food. Their native home is La I
Plata valley. The South Americans
call them "Chaneliitos," which mcuns
"pig," either because in form they are
somewhat like that animal or because
they tight in a manner similar to young
pigs. In Germany the name "chame
leon fish" is proposed, owing to the
ability of the fish to change its colors.
This, however, we consider no denom
inative feature, as nearly all of our
sun fishes, and also the Chinese Paradise
fish, possess this ability, in cases even
to a greater extent than the zebrafish
does. We selected the latter name for
them because wo find that through
their color and stripes this fish resem
bles a zebra more than anything else,
especially when the fish are most bril
liant in colors and the yellow appears
in the dorsal fin, then even the mark
ings of the mane of the zebra are repre
sented.
Rl' Soup n la Crenio.
A rice soup that is valuable in these
high priced meat days is made without
stock. Let two quarts of water, in
which an onion has been sliced and a
bunch of celery tops thrown, boil for
an hour; remove the onion and leaves,
and ndd a half cup of rice that has
been carefully washed and looked over.
Cook for three-quarters of an hour,
stirring often, or until the rice is well
swollen and tender. Just before serv
ing beat up in the tureen itself the
yolks of two eggs, with half a tumbler
ful of rich milk—cream is better—and
a pinch of nutmeg, if liked. Pour the i
boiling soup over this mixture from a
height, beating it still with a whisk, to
mix all thoroughly, and serve with
toast squares.
How to Rellt've Colic.
For relieving colic one eminent physi
cian recommends simple bicarbonate
of soda, of which one-half teaspoenful
is to be dissolved in half a tumblerful
of water, and a teaspoonful of the solu
tion given to the infant every fifteen
minutes. This, by the way, is a very
good preventive of colic, and may be
safely administered half a dozen times
a day to children predisposed to the
trouble. In addition to giving this sim
ple medicine, the abdomen should be
gently massaged with the hand, the (
movement being from right to left; or,
if this fails to alleviate the distress, hot
llannels may be applied to the stoiuuch
anil bowels.
How to Clean Nickel Ware.
The best cleaning compound for
nickel ware is fifty parts of alcohol and
one of sulphuric aekl. The article to
be cleaned is held in the solution five
to fifteen seconds, after which it is
washed with water, rinsed with
alcohol and wiped dry with a clean
rug. The dirtiest of nickel goods is
said to come out with a bright; now
look.
The Stumbling Block.
"The manner in which my father-in
law treats me," said the count, "is
shameful. He has allowed my debts
to accumulate; my monthly remit
tances have fallen into arrears; he has
left me penniless."
"But," said the lawyer, "that is not
sufficient ground for divorce."
"I don't want a divorce," said the
count. "But can't I sue my father-in
law for damages? Has ho not violated
an implied contract?"
"Oh! yes," replied the lawyer. "You
can prove cruelty and abandonment and
non-support."
"You see no obstacle, then, to com
mencing such an action at once?"
! "None—except that my retainer is
payable in advance."
But the count strode haughtily from
the room.—Life.

PRESENTED AT COURT.
An Expensive as Well as a Very
Laborious Function.
An American Woman Who linn Ifu<l Ei
pcrlenre Given an Itemized Account-
One Mui*t Wear a New and
Cotitly Continue.
A London journal quotes an unnamed
correspondent, who says that a pres
entation at Queen Victoria's drawing
room requires an outlay of at least
three hundred and seventy-five dollars.
"I have been to Buckingham palace,''
she says, "for three such functions, and
I never did it for less, which is moae
than my wedding finery cost. There
are women who have done it for less,
but it's a pinch, and 1 shouldn't like tc
try.
"You see, you can't go in a gown thai
has ever been worn before, nor in a
costume that is not made of the very
best materials. You can't, because you
will perish of shame when j*ou stand in
line with women who are in the rich
est and freshest that Lyons looms and
French dressmakers can turn out. Any
woman has sense enough to recognize
that it is better not to go at all than gc
inadequately, to stand there in the
fierce light reflected from the throne.
Having this conviction firmly fastened
in your mind, consult some French
dressmaker of note in Loudon. Trot
yourself around to the smartest of the
smart English modistes and look over
samples of brocade, satin, velvet and
silk, ranging in price from three tc
six dollars a yard. If you are an un
married woman, anywhere on the sun
ny side of sixty, you wear white.
Debutantes look at tulle, and silk, and
lace, and wreaths of French flowers,
silver embroidery, pearls and ribbons,
and middle-aged matrons ponder over
velvet, purple, red, black, etc. Young
married persons go in for the heavier
white brocades or brocades with col
ored flowerings.
"Now, the result of long hours oi
solemn consideration among billows of
splendid faeries sends you contempla
tively off—you wonder in what humor
one's obliging papa or generous hus
band will accept the news that one can
not be made decent for court on less
than three hunnred dollars. One must
appear as well as the other women; the
queen exacts that one's train must lie
for three yards vi the floor, and the
end of expense Is not yet. The order
for the gown is given a full month be
forehand, and that is well, considering
the rush at the dressmakers'. Only u
leading florist can supply the lnigo
shower bouquet of white flowers that
costs twenty-live dollars.
"One never sees such bouquets in
America—beautiful cascades of flowers
built on a frail foundation of chiffon,
and trailing from one's hand to the
floor. In London women always carry
huge bouquets to every function dur
ing all seasons, so that bouquet build
ing has become a great art with them.
"At the glover's one must have a
vastly long pair of five-dollar gloves,
lovely things to wrinkle up to one's
shoulder nearly. To a French boot
maker's a sufficient piece of one's gown
must be taken to make one's slippers*
that cost at least seven or eight dollars.
"Lastly, one must make an appoint
ment with a court hairdresser, whe
charges about three dollars. Eight
dollars covers the cost of three feathers
and veil. A good public stable is sought
out and arrangements perfected to have
a very big carriage sent on by nine
o'clock the morning of the drawing
room. Because he is expected to send
one of his very perfect carriages, and
because the vehicle, both delivering
one at and takfng one from the palace,
must stand in line for hours, the stable
keeper asks not less than ten dollars
for the service.
"Reckon all these amounts up and
the result is approximate to my first
statement, is it not? There are few
loopholes for economy,for certain things
you must have or you will never kiss
the queen's hand. One's train must fall
from the shoulders so that its spread on
the floor includes a vast stretch of very
costly goods, live yards long by twe
wide. The gown must be cut out be
low the point of the shoulders.
"Another exaction is the placing ol
feathers and veil. Only a court hair
dresser knows how to accomplish it to
the queen's tuste, and the queen, though
her taste may not be good, demands
that her ideas be followed to the last
letter. Only a physician's certificate
entitles one to appear at a drawing*
room with covered shoulders. The cer
tificate must be procured in advance
and sent to the lord chamberlain, who
asks the queen's consent. Often enough
she refuses."
Light IVrnonn I'olnonod by Ivy.
Mr. I. Ten Bosch writes from Ro
chellepark, N. J., to Garden and Forest,
saying: "Whenever I see a tree in the
embrace of a poison ivy, I take my
knife and cut the vino. On the grounds
of a few friends, and on my own, I
have cut vines from one and a half to
two and a half inches thick, sometimes
at the root, and sometimes as far up as
I could reach, and then tearing clown
the stems, have uprooted them with
my hands. I have done this at, all sea
sons. This spring I have already cut
out two dozen ivies, and have pulled up
many others by the roots, when my
hands were torn with blackberry
thorns, but I never had a trace of pois
oning. A friend to whom 1 mentioned
my immunity said: 'Of course you are
not poisoned because you are dark. 1
Since then I have been thinking that
in the cases of poisoning which had
come to my knowledge, the victims had
been light-haired. A younger brother
of mine, who is very fair, has been
severely poisoned."
