He cannot make a fortune at fth:at. What would Canadians think of such wages after serving 15 years‘ apâ€" prenticeship? Itshinka ‘strike would be the order of the day.

X4n PARISIAN SIGHTS THE GOBELIN TAPESTRY DURHAM, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBEER 2 LOXDON, Aug. 9, 1897 <10 ARCHIVES TORONTO ‘| Everywhere all over Paris you see uniformed soldiers standing on guard or & lounging carelessly about between the | hours of duty. The impresion upon stranger, especially the British stranger is that the law is not strong enough to keep the peace without the continued threat of the military, _ I think though that is hardly the case, The French are peaceful enough unfil goaded to madâ€" ness by wrong political or otherwise, i then no law can control them but cold lead and steel, The memory of the commune which so often devasted the city still lingers with the Authorities and they keep everything in readiness for any possible outbreak. It is so difâ€" ferent in London, There you see nothâ€" ing to make you suppose a soldier is in the world. _ The fowndations of society are securely laid ard need not the conâ€" stant appearance of guard. Policemen too are in Paris seen everywhere, but after London what a miserable looking lot of men they are, In size they are smaller h{ far Lfmu the English or Canâ€" adian policeman; Their bearing even on duty is not so dignified, There is not the consciousness of authority in their bearing. we see at ho.ne. Their, uniform may suit the climate but cerâ€"! tain‘ytheyare neither artistic nor pretty, | Give me the British or Canadian policeâ€" man every time, uniform and all even if . he carry ovuly a small wooden baton as | a syinbol of the majesy of the law beâ€"‘ hind him while the French policeman â€" always carries his sword sheathed in its â€" scabbard at his left belt. There is the | differenceâ€"a difference I am told the | French marvel atâ€"they caunot underâ€" stand bow a British policeman can enâ€" # force peace and quiet with only a hit of | wood to show his authority. _ They | forget that law is more powerful there * than military or police. There lies the ! 1 must not omit a few words about the military and police of Paris before winding up what is already too long. _ _Put to return to the Markets. One other feature of the ouidoor market may be mentioned. _ It is that along the important crossings of the great Bouleâ€" vards and strcets are portable folding stands roofed over with leather or rubâ€". ber cloth or mos{(ly canvas under which during the day ‘vegetables fruit and flowers are exposed for sale. I say durâ€" ing the day, for if anything remains unsold at 8 p. m. it is seized by the police and sold by auction for the beneâ€"| fit of the city hospitals, That is surely drastic enough but all vendors know the law and generally contrive to have the stands clean and empty by the reâ€"| quired hour. ‘lhis is sanother evidence ; of the pieasure loying proclivity of the | citizens. This is the beginning of the | fete and nothing so gross as buving and | selling must be allowed to nterfâ€"re with the noisy quiet of the cafe testivity. | was that ?" said he urbanely. "*The Batâ€" tle of Waterloo," said our friena â€" The guide drew himself together, looked mocenm%.mid dryly. . "That is a me I know. ~ But you English peopie forget that Waterloo is a Gerâ€" man Victory not an English one." Beâ€" fore we got through with him he was somewhat "riled" and we found that if the good will of our guide would conâ€" | tinue with us we must leave British Victories over France severely alone. | That was however an easy task as there was nothing here to remind us of that side of the questionâ€"it was all on‘ the other side and as French victories over British armies are rather searce| we enjoyed the continued cven flow of . our guide‘s good nature. | passed round the gallery, one of our party said to the guide that there was one piece missing trom the collectionâ€" a piece we would like to see. **What This hatred was evident on all hands tho‘ the traditional external politeness of the Frenchman keeps him from showing it, at least while the English man is spending money freely. _ But rub him crosswise and his antipathy flows to the surface at once. An illusâ€" tration of this was seen several times in our imperturbable guide. One will suflice. _ In Versailles Palace there is one long gallery deyoted to a repreâ€" sentation of the history of France on canvas, from the earliest times to the present. The victories (not the defeats)| of French armies by sea and land are| here graJ)hically and very strikinglyl' portrayed by the very best and greatâ€"| est of the French artists. â€" After having;l ‘ wide world. Frogs and snails are only a specimen. The snails are held to be a very great delicacy by the Frenchâ€" men. Our guide when asked what they were like told us how they were cookedâ€"a long processâ€"and he wound up by saying that when properly preâ€" pared they resemble a piece of India rubber one had been chewing for a long time. Again we did not enyvy French taste. _A Frenchman hates frogs and always asks who eats them. Foreigners of course, most] y Americans and Englishmen. _ I suppose that is Lhei reason the French hate the English so much. | insomina, nervousness, and, a if not relieved, bilidus fever or blood poisoning.

No one who has never been abroad in a foreign country can appreciate our feelâ€" ings when we again set foot on British soil where wecould hear our own lanâ€" guage spoken and could e understood when we spoke ourselves, The week was on the whole a pleasant one for us and added much to our knowledge of men and things. ‘ | _ The three great retail business houses| _ in Paris are, I understand, Worth, the Louyre and the Bon Marche.

In all imâ€"; portant shops there are many iaterpreâ€" | | ters through whom you can soon make | your wants known,. We rather enjoyed | the experience of speaking to people | who did not understand our speech and whose speech we could make little of, If you would be able to do business here, ; brush up your French before you come else you may have to pay dear for every article you buy, In very many places, | the shopâ€"keeper and employers will acâ€"! cept about hailf the price they ask for . an article, if you can tell them in French | what you think of then,.

If the price does not | suit, why get an article at the price you | can ntfung I suppose in all the best | class of houses this is the rule hence‘ shopping in Paris, in even English, is not so bad after all. | \ ym ou» 1. i We do the trade in Raw Furs.
