From the St. Nicholas, We saw a young woman brought out of a burning house with a copper ket ‘a in her hand. She was screaming wildly, “Mybaby! Oh, my baby!” The woman had been engaged in the kitchen, with her infant in her arms, and had been busily occupied saving her cooking utensils by throwing them into the cistern, quite uncon- scious that her dwelling was already on fire. The firemen, having discovered her in that perilous place, had rushed into the kitchen and forced her to hasten out. On her way she had espled a copper kettle. and had instinctively seized it, but In her fright and bewilderment she had thrown her baby Into the cistern instead of the Kettle. Fortunately, a sturdy tellow succeeded in rescuing the baby and restoring it to the dis- tracted mother. ‘The other incident was even more dreadful.

Odessa Letter to the London Daily News. There exist at present in Baku about 400 naphtha springs sunk by hand toa mean depth of 50 feet, and 400 more from 300 to 600 feet mechanically bored. The productiveness of these springs is enormous; 10,000 poods daily is a low average for a single spring. The flow from many eprings is astonishing. From the 29th of July a spring on the estate of the Nobel company produced in the early days of its erup- tion 400,000 poods dally, and in the course of some ifteen days, until forcibly repressed, 8,000,000 poods of oll were taken from this single spring. From another source struck by the Drushba company on September 1 the flow tor a considerable time reached no less than 500,000 poods a day. There were seas of naphtha such as America never saw. Be- sides Baku Russia possesses extensive oll- flelds in various parts of the empire, European and Asiatic, but more especially along the chain of the Caucasus and the adjacent provinces, as in Tiflis, Daghestan, on the Terek, and the Kuban, in the peninsula ot Taman, op- posite Kertch, in the island of Svjatoi, &c., all of which yet await further working. If in Baku the higher strata become exhausted. then the Russians. following the example of the Ameri- cans, will bore for the deeper strata, Russia is assured of the consumers of Persiaand Central Asia. She will send her products over the Cas- pian and up the Vola, whence the railway will carry them to St. Petersburg, Reval, Riga or Libau, and from there to the consumers of northern Europe, and by Batoum and the Black Sea to southern and western Europe. The dis- tance from Baku to Batoum is about 900 versts. At Baka a “Black Town” has sprung into ex- istence, containing some 20,000 inhabitants con- nected with this industry. Capital is flowing in. In 1882 the freight dispatched over the Cas- pian was 25,000,000 poods, including 12,000,000 poods of petroleum. During the present year the quantities dispatched by Batoum and the Black Sea are enormous. The finest petroleam may be purchased at Baku, without the barrel of course, at 25 copecks per pood, or about 5d. per 36 pounds English, ——_+e.______ A French Husband, From the London Standard. A Frenchman recently died who, it is narrated, on his wedding day some twenty years ago, took the orlginal—perhaps ft may be said rather im- prudent—resolution to keep a yearly account of the number of kisses exchanged with his wife until their union became severed by the death of one or the other. He was destined to be the first to go, but when on his sick bed, foreseeing that he would not recover, he begged a friend to let the world know the result of his twenty years’ acconnt keeping. During the first year of wedded life the kisses exchanged reached the colossal fignre of 36,500, or one , hundred a day on an average; but in the following twelve months there was a notable decrease, not more than 16.000 being inscribed on his register: while the third year shows a still greater falling off, the average number of kisses being about ten a day. And after the lapse of five years a further reduction is recorded, and the account-keeper’s task was simplified, for only two kisses were ex- changed during each twenty four hours—“ one on rising, one on retirin, rest.” Later on, during the last ten years of his married life, they oy kissed each other on leaving for, or re- turning from, a journey,” and he had very little pean in making up his annual domestic sta- istics.

These were familiarly known as cuisines meut- rieres; and perhaps to them may be traced the relative diminution of the population of France. No assurance company was ever known to accept the life of a person who frequented such an establishment. From 1840 to 1845 the Bouil- fons Hollaniais rose and tell, till, nothing daunted, the Benillons Dural appeared in 1854. Duval was born “‘of poor but honest parents” in 1811. at Montihery, in the department of the Seine-et-Oise. He cameto aris at theage of thirteen, as an apprentice butcher; he died in 1870. The restaurant Duval is a type in itself, founded on sound principles, and conducted with intelligence and sagacity. Exteriorly it has been, not imitated, but parodied, but never with success. The difficulty did not lie in inducing the public to enter, but in the means to retain them by satsifying them. Paris has two millions of stomachs to be daily | looked after, and the great majority depend on the restanrants to be fed. N. ‘he restaurant, or room, or hall set apart exclusively tor re- pasts dates only from the revolution, which broke up homes, abolished old customs and scattered families. The ieading restaurants are close boroughs for the masses; their sliding- seale charges are too uncertain for ilmited purses; their mode of serving is comprehensible for two, four or six persons, but a serious loss for one, three or five individuals. Duval based his calculations on the fluctua- tions of the market, the only loyal as well as sate plan of working.’ Then he aimed to have a table well served, with the freshest and best aliments prepared by efficlent cooks, and suit- ing not only the stomach, but the purse ot the client. On entering one of the Duva! establishments the controller from his sentry box hands you a card, adapted to one or more persons’ On this card, which may be called the keystone of the whole organization, is marked the prices of soup, fish, meats, poultry, came, vegetavies, fruits and wines. Ata glance you feel that everything is well-ordered, and the machinery running well. The hall, more or less vast, is well ventilated; cleanliness reigns supreme; decorum and respectability preside everywhere. You take aseat ata white marble table, and cach table can accommodate two or more per- sens. Another card, the menu, is presented, detailing about sixty or seventy different ticles of food, calculated to satisfy the appetite ofaGargautta. Opposite every article is its price. Each waitress has a division for stx- teen clients; she marks the number of her division on the card you received from the controller, and while you are in a brown study over the selection to be made from the menu, she has placed before you a nap- kin, a knife, fork and spoon.

That card is the check, the tell-tale of the establishment's bookkeeping. It passes through too many inde- endent supervisions to admit of even the possi- ility of collusion, aud, in addition, is checked by the customer himself, The client pays his bill himself. There are “walkers,” as in large dra- pery shops. Young Duval, having no capital, commenced by opening a modest butcher's shop in the rue Coquilliere. He married a Mademoiselle Ber- trand. She had not a long purse, but she had her fortune in her head. {t was she who urged her husband forward; for retail butchers live from hand to mouth; their business is yery un- certain. Duval did not hesitate to open his first bouillon restaurant in the rue de la Mon- ne then sold only soupand beef. The pub- lic stationed itself in crowds at the door tor ad- mission, as if before a theater. Next he rented premises in the rue Montesquieu. This fs still regarded as the chiet establishment, and Is now, from \ts gorgeous decorations and organization, called a “Palace.” Only men there are waiters, generally the husbands or brothers of the waitresses inthe other establishments. The building had once been a theater. Duval fitted it up with all that was modern thirty years ago. His vast steam-cooking .apparatus under ground; his system for laying on soda drinks by pipes at the tables, proved'a failure, and in- yolved a loss of 200,000 francs. He was all but ruined. Yet his clients did not forsake him, He went to work again. and this time he was nigh ruined by success. There was a Roman ma- tron who was crushed todeath underthe weight of her own jewels. Duval lost 2,000 francs a day, from Inability to control the receipts, dur- ing two months, when Madaine Duval imagined the controller and card, and so extinzuished the robbery. His troubles were not at an end; the publicrefused to accept the card on enterin: others declined to give it up on leaving. U! mrtely good sense, firmness and courtesy triumphed. Another battle remained to be fousht. val’s idea was to abolish the odious plan of gra- tuities to the waitre He posted up in the retectorles that these employes were paida fixed monthly salary. The public opposed the reform made in their own interest, left some sous un- der a plate, among the debris of fruit, in th bottom of a glass, ete., so that the tr “struck,” and Duval had only to bow to nece sity. All the waitresses are married women as are steady in character, and cheerful disposition. They have a salary of si Da- month, commence duty at nine in the mornin, and end at nine at night. of the dejeuner and dinner they During the interim assist in the general work of the house. They receive two meals, and are supplied with a toilette, in black or grey alpaca, according to the season, white apron, smart tulle cap and white linen sleeves. They are the models of cleanliness and order. As each has sixteen clients to serve, and frequently more than half of these are habitus, a waitress can often make five to eight francs per day in gratuities. They generally invest their savings in the shares—a good paying spec- ulation—of the Duval Co., for 1t has been con- yerted into a company since the 1867 Exhibi- tion, and every facility 1s afforded them to pay the price of a share by instaliments. It was the discovery of the simple control card that sealed Duval'’s success. He died a millionaire, after arriving first in Paris without @ sou, and walking his way to the capital in wooden shoes. On his death, in May, 1870, his widow was unanimously elected to succeed him as Presidente of the company, an office she still brilliantly fill 8. According to Voltaire, there were served daily, for the dinner and supper, in the palace of Solo- mon, fitty oxen, one nundred sheep, and fowl ‘and game in proportion. His cooks entered on duty by relays, every three months; the other nine they traveled everywhere to discover new luxuries for the table of their sovereign. There are now forty Duval establishments in Paris, and their dally needs must be closely coming up to the standard of Solomon's larder, The Duval buyers contract to buy only the best animals slaughtered at the abatoirs. The cou pany: has three-model butchers’ shops; that in the rue Tronchet is one of the llons of the city.

Of these four brothers three had deeply studied all sciences, knowing magic, astronomy, alchemy and occult arts most diffi- cult to learn; while the fourth had noknowledge whatever of science, possessing Intelligence only. Now, as they were traveling together, one of the learned brothers observed: ‘Why should a brother without knowledge obtain profit by our wisdom? Traveling with us he can be only a burden upon us. Never will he be able to obtain the respect of kings, and therefore must he remain a disgrace to us. Rather let him return home.” But the eldest of all answered: “Nay! let him share our good luck; for he Is | our loving brother, and we may perhaps find | some position for him which he can fill without , being a disgrace to us.” So they journeyed along; and after a time, while passing through a forest, they beheld the bones of a lion scattered LOONS ARE NOT RAPID SELLERS.
