ADOPTED BY he Burhomâ€"Review. .;«z..u‘&.},w; DURHAM. | Coming now to Paris itself, I think the first thing that will strike the I foreigner, especially if lately from Lon, 'dun, is the extreme cleanliness of the city, Not only are the streets cleaned 'd;;ily with waterâ€"that is, sweepers are lcunl,inlmll_v at work brushing all refuse | on the streets to the sides near the curbâ€" | stones. Water is let on then at convenâ€" \ient, places and continues to flow outâ€" | side the cuâ€"bstanes until all filth is washâ€" ed into places which doubtless are connected with the sewers. But the o itside of all the buildings has a clean appearance tho‘ the building itse‘if may be hundreds of years oldâ€"there are many such here, On enquiry, I found out the reason of this fresh appearance. It scems that by ordinauce of the City ’ There is nothing perhaps in European ’tmvel that so disgusts Americans and Canadians as the gratuity system or as } we call it, the tipping system. Every where it is tha same. As soon as you touch the ground, a horde of hungry yultures crowd around you and almost demand a shilling or a frane to let you ‘touch the carth. _ Woe to you if you ’ haye luggage. â€" It is a franc here 50 e :ntimes there and you wouder where your money has gone. _ They almost figzht over you or your luggage and often while they so wrangle the travyâ€" ’ eller leaves them all and finds a cabby not so obstreperous, much to the chagrin of those left. _ Not only at the stations, on the streets, in the shops is this lookâ€" ed for but in the hotels where every service is extraâ€"the waiter at the table, the hall boy, the chambermaid muct be attended to or the cloudy frown soon tells the displeasure. _ It reminds one of Mark Twain‘s Arab who wanted to sneeze for him and of course get a tip for so doimng. Cook‘s party does away with all this. _ The guide pays all porters, guards, waitcrsi etc. their gratuities and the tourist need not, tho‘ most of them do, pay‘ any more than the ticket, Come, the first time at any rate, in one of Cook‘s" pirtics and you will not reâ€" gret it. _ Youw are p ovided with through tickets: outward and return, by rail and boat and all other bus, carrlage, hotel and gratuity expenâ€" ses are prepaid in your original book of tickets. The service of a conductor too, all along the routs to assist in getâ€" ting Iuggage transterred and to preâ€" vent impousition of two or three prices for everything you want done or want to buy make it well worth while to Join the party. or given in the printed guide books. e was moreover humorous, and how humor does enliyen the recitalof other wise dry details. If you eyver come to Paris, and it wi.l be worth your while. After five days wandering around Paris, it would be quite natural to supâ€" pose one would have a good deal to write about, ‘but ts véry vastness, its many places of interest, its beautitul architecture, galleries of paintings and very much more of the same nature almost forbid in any space smaller than a large volume, any attempt to write at all. _ You will not thercfore be sur prised if for the present a mere outline of the more important places and things seen be giyen.
