MAUITS OF FRENCHMEN.
One Ilrapert In Wliicli They Kiyojr an Ad
VHiitAL Over Amerleuiia.
Tho habits of life, so far as regards
sating, aro bettor wl.b our Parisian.
England and America both tranKjjrwH,
ono in tho quantity, tlio other iu tho
quality, of tho food. The Ilrlton Ifc-ds
too heavily. Ho liecomes plethorio i.nd
buofy. Tho oxquisito rose tints on tils
daughter's cheok turn to patch ts ol
harsh color on tho face of his wifo, and
Lis own rubicund vlsago sugicrsts
chronic -congestion. Not content ft th
heavy meals mornlng.noon and evenl.ig,
thoro Is a night supper, more or Jjss
profuse according as tho good scno of
tho Individual bonds to or wrostlos sth
custom. Thoro Is a good deal of tea
drunk and colfco and a vast amount of
strong alo and porter: which all sorre to
induce more up poll to for solid food. A
man can oat two slloos of broad or in'iat
with a glass or a 'cup of liquid accr.m
paulmont, wliero be could uso but ono
without. So tho effect Is apt to bo ex
coss certain excess over tho necoss-iry
amount of nourlshmnnt. probablo exoess
over tho wholosomo point.
In America it Is not tho amount al-
though our womon as a rulo with tholr , Ins i.n,lisli sido whiskers and iron
sedentary hablta pso too muoh, especial- gray hair, pirted in tno iljiI-
ly at breakfast Hma but tho kind of
food which makos tho nationil deadly
eln. Pios, cakcH nnl hot biscuits, fried
meat and doughnut, ploklos and pro
sorvos, bleach lnitead of reddening tho
blood; and oxcopi In so-no few districts,
wo aro a nation of anmnics. If tho un
fitunato stomach can sustain tho In
jury dono it by lack of propor nourish
. . .
ment, it succumb) to tho habit
of bolt -
ing. Meal timo is a suewmton of gulps
and swallows grudgingly snatched from
tltno dovotod to tho routine of labor, as
hurried as norvods lias to and tho prero
cupatlon of business caros can make It,
and wh'illy unavailing for ordinary ju
poscs of mastication. Tho misused tt oth
decay and ruitieil digestion revenues it
self in blanched ohcoks, tblnnod hair
and general prostration. If this is too
vivid a picture for tlio bettor knowledgo
and higher clvllliation nf our cities, it
certainly Is not so for tho country dis
tricts, nnd it Is theso last which produco
tho people. Towns may bo tho reivo
ganglions, but tho country supplies their
forco.
Tho Parisian has change all tils.
Ho begins tho day Witn tho slight jst
possible breakfast, leaving mind rnd
body cleared, not woightcd for aotljn
After tl.vco or four hours' work bs in
duced a healthy demand for food thjro
comes a dainty und plentiful meal t-o
or threo courses Of meat, with a fow veg
etables, an omelqtto, bread and bufer,
fresh or prepared fruit. This answjrs
to our lunch, and Is usually scrvoc at
noon or at ono o'clock. Six hours ir
comes dinner. Soup always, often Bib,
four or Ilvo dollcfttn and Inviting prepa
rations of meat, with a slight accomptoi
ment of vegetables and some dellubjus
sauce; a sweat and u dessert of fruit tnd
choeso form tho main points of this
principal meal, l'oor families will have
less: richer people will oirer greater va
riety, but ordinarily this schemo very
slightly modified will represent tho
daily routine of a Parisian household.

ON tkeg"rand CANAL.
Uarly Morning Srrne, In Ventre-Market-1
Men .,, th. Way ... II.. HUIlo. (
Tho first sign ot life on tho Grand ,
Canal In tho early morning Is tho pass-
ing by of long bargos laden with green
vegetables and fruit from tho low, flat
Island of Marzorbo. and destined for the
niarkot at tho Ilialto. Ono suoh has
passed as wo write; Its sail Is of a rich
Indian red with -a dark blue tip, a (Hint-
work border running round It, and in
its center a de&itrn In orango of St.
lieorgo and tho dragon. Tho big rud-
dor ls gaudily painted In green and
white and has a picture of the Madonna
on tho part that is above tho water. Tho
men who aro poling thu barge along add
to tho variety of color by ono of them
wearing a pink shirtand purple trousers.
The whole'thlng togotbePr witb , itsgreen
load looks, as the ilrst rays of the sun
glint upon IU llko a lilt of a broken rain-
bow that has dropped Into tho canal and
ls drifting along on tlio eddies. Now
comos a bargo heaped up with coal,
now ono with bales of cotton
for tho factory lately established
hero. This is followed by an-
oilier whoso cargo of sqttaro whito
deal boxes Is guarded by a soldier at
each end of tho boat, and the red flag i
that floats oyer It tolls us that It Is dyn
amite that Is passing by. Of a moro
peaceable sort It tho next that wo no
tice,. A small flat boat, hardly moro
than a curved board. Is propoled by two
tall, brown-robed llgures. two Capuchin
irlars. who. wltli D.iro heads ana san-
dated foot and with cords girdling theii
waists, aro olT on a begging expedition,
hoping to return with their Franciscan
cane basket filled with good things foi
tholr monastery's faro. Presently a
barca approaches thu stono landing
placo bosido our palaen. This barca it
a plainer sort of gondola, without lu
graceful, dignified steel prow. Out of It
come, tumbling over each other, about
fty soldlors. An curly-aMlr, Itlnorant
seller of an Italian "Comploto laittcr
Wiltor," with a quick eye to business
who happens to come up, reir.es thu op
portunity, und In a moment his bag It
open. lie pull out a heap of uooks,
and with ready wit reads
aamplo of the contonts of
a suitable
his book:
"hotter from a holdier In Abyssinia U
his brother In Italy." In an Instant the
soldiers aro crowding toiind him, listen
ing with Intorost, many producing the
fey coins with which thoy can become,
possessors of tho littlo manual, which
they cin eagerly for somothlng to HI
their own particular caso as tbey art
hurried away up the narrow lano.

authors hio not much regard for the
tailor's art and I think that hia ad

VATER SCAnCEIN COLORADO.
A Warning That Should Kot Do fidlTervi.
to I'am Unlircdetl Siisotlon.
Colorado will lio forced to follow ia tbo
footstrin of California ia a communistic ap
propriation of tho waters of tbo Ktato for tin
uso of its entire population. 1 bo drought of
tho present aenson, protracted through a p
riotl of threo montli.s, given a warning thar
will not bo safTercd to jiass anbeodctl. Colo
rado ha even a scantier stock of water than
California. Tbo larger part of tho Btntolios

threo rivers, Bouth Plitta, Arkanevs and Uio
Grade, which, with their afllucnts, wnVr t'ao
country, aro very insignia catnt strifun.s so
mioll anl shallow that in prolonged dry
jplls liko tho present tbey nearly loae thair
current.
Flumo and dit"h companies hare tapped
them at tho baae of tbo mountains, nnd
drawn ol tio water to bo sold la small
streams to farmers for Irrigation parposoi
Cut U1I3 gives to thj population noarcst tbo
mountims an ndvantaso over tliora livin;;
further east, for It eoziotiiaes occurs In tims
of drought that, when tho former era amply
fcrved, tlio river Ls nearly exhausted, am'
thcro Is littlo water left for tho pooplo livia,
lower down. In tba present caao, tho Houth
Platte, which runs through Denver, lias lcen
so Ehrunkcn in vo'.nmo that It docs not aSord
water enough for all purposes, and tbo stat j
authorities havo bocn forced to prohibit
divcrdon of tho waVr i-ito ditches for irriga
tion, and allow it to bo used only for drink
Llg and to"k waterlag. Tho groat rattle
herds ag found In tho oasfcrn pirt of the
Ktato, or a distance from tho heads of the
stream?, and If tho streams aro exhausted
nca- tbo mountain.! by irrigating ditches and
fiumes, tho cattlo herds must rallTcr.
Jt seems to bo tho experience that 03 pop
ulation, with it civiltelaj practice, multi
plies la a now country, tbo rainfall dimin
ishes; and there is not a doubt that, when the
destruction ot mountain forests in Colorado,
"Wyoming, Montana, Now Mexico and
Nevada bliall have been completed, a scarcity i
of water will bon perpetnil disadvantage,
and tho shnmkcn streams and lalies will havt
to bo protected with Jealous o3clal cam ,
Otherwise it is easy to imaino a drouth un
usually protracted, ia vbicu tho ratraatain
streams, fed by snow -vator nloa, vrould
shrivel to rill?, and the thousand) of ar.imab
perish of thirst, anil taj populations them
selves bo forced to abandon tho country. Tc
prevent such a peril, the state wi'I bavo to
nssumt absolute possession of all water sap
plies, anil hold and dispenso them for t'13 use
of the people. In the. courso oi timo the
population of Colorado will ba a raiUioa, and
when that day comes water will bo a trca-mrt
to bo husbanded and pretectal as jealously at
it is in Arabia. St. Louis Itcpublican.
Heading OCT n Prairie Tire.
A courier on a foaming inastaug, followed
by a herd of stampeuing animals, lias an
nounced the coming of tho Are, miles to wind
ward, perhaps before oven it3Eao'.:e is visible.
At the word Tirol'' ovory man oa tho settle
ment drops hb worlr, catches his horse, scizct
water buckets, blanlccts, ropes, cans of hero
son oil, plows, and wliatovcr clso may bo ol
uao la lighting tho fire, and, throwing these
Into a wagon, dashes off to meet tho dajer.
Tho probablo course of tho fiery cycloao be
ing ascertained, a largo forco of men bein
p'owing n strip of land directly across it, for
a "Arc-break." Sometimes half a dozen plows,
with four or more horses to each, aro put
simultaneously to work, turning up farrows
with desperate energy.
On tho windward or exposed sido of thb
flro-break a counter flro Is started by racam
of tho ropes saturated with fceroscno. Thli
creeps along at a comparatively slow pac
against tho wind, to meet the greater one,
which comes surging along, preceded by a .
scorching, fumacs-Iilto breath and a dense
shower of gray ashes. On tho other sido oi i
the plowed strip, toward the ranches, th '
grass is drenched with water, and men stand
ready with wet blankets to put out tho flyin?
sparks as they alight. Thb rush of the ap
proaching mass of flamo and smolto is terrific.
It fairly leaps ahead, 10J feet at a time, hiss
ing, snapping and roaring as If it were lay-,
lag low a lorest. .nuuticiuy it. mcis uio uara
Are. The two rush together ia a great billow
of flamo, whKh rises hlc;h in tho air and goi
out in denso black clouds of smoie. Tho tor
nado is chocked, and tho ranchers aru saved.
This is what takes placo when tho wort of
tho prairio firemen is successful. Sometimes.
howovcr, the flames, checked la front, rally
and spread out anew at the sides, and coa
tinuo their destructive courso over moro uilci
of prairie, until stopped by rsomo river ot

hill, at Loadvillo, Colo., oa July 4, is attract

men. After tho flaih, Mr. Edwards rcmain-.d
wneonscious for fifteen minutes before receiv
ing assistance. Tho lightning struck him on
tho loft chock, and after knocking out a num
ber of his teeth passed diagonally across the
breast to the right side. It then descended
tho body to the foot, emerging from tho riht
boot. It passed entirely through tho foot,
leaving a holo similar to that mado by a bul
let. The clothing wus torn into fragments,
particlos being found a distance of CfU feet.
both of tho boots wcro entirely destroyed,
and one of them carried sixty feet awuy.
The ground whore tho man was standing
was torn up for a considerable distance. The
course of tho electric current along tin body
was marked by a black and rod sin-ax one
and a half Inches wide. Tho worst cfTcct of
tho streak seems to have been oa tbo luns. !
A severe hemorrhage was produced, by whitb
a quart of blood was lost. In addition to
t how Injuries, the surface of tho body wot
almost covered with blisters, tho result of
ugly burns. This, we lwliovo, Is tho first au
