At the present day in Paris there is not only The first item 1s that people seldom get drunk in Paris, Drunkenness was never a French vice. There is no tendency to it in the blood, as there is with the Anglo- Saxon; and the whole temper of French habit is against it, For one reason, they are too eco- nomical.

Sissy Men With a Genius for Doylies, China and Velvet Rags. From the New York Sun. Asa contrast to the masculine girl and her swagger it might be pertinent to present the sissy man and his affectations, You see this rare exotic in full bloom at those essentially feminine ceremonies known as 5 o'clock teas, where nothing, sweetened and tied up with a bow, furnishes the repast, where soft light filters through rose-hued shades over fair faces long and you could feed one of John Wana- maker's Sunday school picnics with the food that could be cooked on itat one time. It has 8 ventilator over it which runs from the kitchen to the roof and this is so operated by a fan and an extra pipe that when Mr. Leiter eats sauer kraut or codfish the smoil of the cooking will go from the stove up this ventilator, and even after the dish is taken off of the stove the pi will carry its aroma from the table to the venti- lator. Another curious arrangement is tbe ap- paratus for keeping the plates warm. I venture to eay that this apparatus cost at loaxt $500, for it had to be made expecially for the house.

It is a timepiece in the shape of a watch and bearing the name of “Joseph Davis, London, 1221.” The genuineness of the article is unquestioned, and its great value lies in the fact that the earliest record of a pocket timepiece is 1494 and is Swiss, The Davis watch has been an heirloom of the Swan family for nearly 200 yeurs.
