I am a lady journalist, and engaged on the staff of the Weekly Ray. I never was a puddingâ€"andâ€"pie sort of girl , and I think when I started going to town, and left the household duties to my sister, my people actually felt a sense of relief. 7 Next morningâ€"I had spent all the previous day and night thinking about my taskâ€"I presented myself at the Hotel B:istol. "Is M..Jéean Coussot within !" "Yes, mis3," said the hall porter, to my delight, "What name ?" _ "A minute later he returned. K indly step this way, miss !" Was the great man really â€"going to see me? It would be something to receive a refusal direct trom his own lips. Up and up we went, till, on the third or fourth landing, a man servant, holding my card in his fingers, conâ€" fronted me. © Perfectly well aware that I might as well beat a retreat at once as hope for success if I answered his question, "My business is with monsieur," I said calmly. "Kindly hand him my card, and he will see me." ]Os FIRL fiEPoRTER. "Wel), it is nevertheless a fact," conâ€" tinued my chief, adding with a smile ; "And very aptly you have christened him, for not only has he never been interviewed, but has declared his deciâ€" sion that he never will be. Now, alâ€" though Coussobt has never done anyâ€" thing so very remarkable, beyond writing some epigrammatic plays and jingling verses, and posing with great success as an art critic, a wit, cynic, and leader of fashion, yeb he has ‘a vogue,‘ and whatever opinions and impressiocs fall from his lips people will greedily devour." I handed him one of my cards, which he in turn passed to a boy in buttons, who disappeared upstairs with it. _ "Monsieur bas so many callers," he exclaimed, with a bow, eyeing me curiously all the time. "What might be madame‘s kusiness ?" Still hesitating, but evidently imâ€" pressed by the assurance with which I spoke, the man turned and tapped ab an adjacant door. ©"‘Enter !‘ responded a voice from within. The man left the door ajar bshind him. Silently I steppod up to it and peeped through the crack, being rewarded for my temerity by the sight of a rather stout figure of mediam height, clad in a long frock coat, with a bulletâ€"shaped bead, hair cropped tight, a wellâ€"formed nose, and a straight mustache of enormous proporâ€" tions. For some time I wrote at random, sending in contributions to all sorts of pripers, some of which reached their mark. The majority, bowever, like carrier pigeons or the Australian boomâ€" erang, faithfully returned to me. 1 E4 FN N Nes cueg "«You have no doubt heard that the fiamous Frenshman, M. Jean Coussot, has arrived in London for a stay of a few days, and has taken up his quarters in the Hotel Bristol ?" _ "What, the ‘unapproachable‘ in Lonâ€" don ?" said I. "No, I am ashamed to say that I have not heard of it." "Therefore," saidl I, anticipating his coming remark, "what you suggest is that I should endeavor to obtain the same {" "That‘s it," said the editor. "Thereby, if you succeed, rendering your paper agreat service and covering yourself with glory." ionimssecat Pretine l ol m .7 Ab last I attracted the attention of the Weekly Ray, or at least my work did ; and after a few more successes he offered me a post on his paper. "A lady interviewer, you . know, Miss Neville," said he to me, "can frequently attain her object where a man would fail, and I shall be glad to gee what success you may have at the businese." "Mees Margareet Neveel !" I heard him say. "No! I do not think I know the lady." Then he added, turning to the servant : "Is mademoiselle young or old }" Time went on, and I had "fixed" hundreds of notables, when one day, entering the editor‘s room to submit some copy to him, I perceived by the way he greeted me that he had some special commission in store. N 1 P a s 17 «11â€" i â€" ipaduai 9e o) "Good morning, Miss Neville. The person I wanted to see. Take a seat." 2 C isy a aeaces L esn "Young, sir," said the man and in my anxiety had almost called through the opening of the door, "and pretty." "Did you ask her beezneez !" Yes sir. She said it was direct with you." ‘©Vell, I vill see her in one moment," came the welcome words ; but, as I stepped back from the door, they were followed by : "But shust be sure her beezneez has nasing to do with ze noospapers." ~ I sat down, while the editor pushed his papers aside, laid down his glasses ard commenced. 4 A groan almostb escaped me. Ib was no use prevaricating when, in a moâ€" ment‘s time, I should be in the great man‘s presence. I told ths servant candidly that I did indeed come from the editor of the Weekly Ray, a paper that had always expressed its greatest admiration of M. Coussot and all his works, to <bid him welcome to our shores. ~ "Ha! ha !â€"ba! ha! Fer‘ goot! ver goot indeed ! Teoll Mees Newsel I feel ze honor greatly, but"â€"and he raissd his tonesâ€""M. Coussot is nevair intorâ€" viewed." "So much for the glory I was to be covered with," said I, as, hurrying from the scene of my defeat, I turned into Regent streot. Next morning, still feeling a bit ashamed of myself, I went into the city to keep an appointment that the editor had made for me. That over, I was coming down Threadâ€"needle street, intending to walk The man‘s face relaxed as I said this. He returned to the room, and a second after I heard M. Coussot‘s voice from within : back to the cffic»>, when, passing the entrance to the Bank of England, I saw a sight that made my heart go thump ! As he heard my voice M.. Coussot jerked round on his seat, and, as he looked at me, politely raised his hat. Three â€" genialâ€"looking _ gentlemen, locked arm in arm, were emerging from under the famous portals, and in the coutral figure I recognized M. Jean Coussot himself. A Hammersmith car drew up, and, with unsuspected agility, he jumped on to the steps and nimbly climbed upâ€" stairg. "No! No1!" he protested. "I have enjoy ver‘ mouch. Bat mademoiselle may have curiosity as to who she has been talking." Aod then in much the same tones as the intelligence might be announced, "I am the German Emperor!"‘ the versatile Gaul, again raising his hat, said : "I am Jean Coussob !" Coussotb !" "Really !" I gasped in affected surâ€" prise, and without another word deâ€" scended the steps. Suddenly they shook hands violently, and, with much raising of hats and vociferous interchanges of good wishes, left him. He crossed over to the Mansion House. I followed. Why I did so I can hardly say, except that I still felb a lingering hopo that fate would yet beâ€" friend me. Arrived on the opposite pavement, M. Coussot stopped and took up his station on the curb, critically eyeing the various road cars and omnibusses as they came up. As we neared the top of Cheapside, I thought it time to commence operaâ€" tions. "Excuse me," said I, in my softest possible tones, "I am not sure if I am on the right car. Does this one go to Hyde Park corner, can you tell me?" Falling back a pace, I "shadowed" them. They got to the corner and stopped at the edge of the pavement, talking, laughing, gesticulating wildly. I followed, and took & seat behind him. "Ab, mees ! I am a stranger in Lonâ€" don," he said. "I vill inquire of the drivair." At Hyde Park corner I propared to alight, having just in order to prevent wounding his feelings, assared him that I bal‘eed Apsley House,which bad atâ€" tracted his abtention, to be the habitaâ€" tion of the Gaard‘s Club. "Oh! Pray excuse me !" said I. "I have been too indiscreet already." And bending over the rail, "Do you pass zo Hyde Park cornair ?" he asked ; and then turned to me again with : "«Yes, zis car pass zo cornair." He seemed to enjoy chatting like this, and just as the sbops and sideâ€" turnings flitted by us,so we went lightly from one subject to another, until I knew the cause was won, and that, if I could only remember all he had said, I had enough material to fill a whole page of the Ray. Into an aerated bread shop I rushed, pulled out my note book, and began to scribble for dear life. "What can I get you!?!" murmured an attendant. ©Coffee;" said I, laconically. "Auything to eat 1‘ "Yes, please," I answoered writing on, oblivious of the girl‘s proximity,. "What ?" she persisted. "What what?" said I, looking up angry abt the continued interruption. When I had jotted down all that I could remember I took a hansom to the offices of the Ray, shut mysolf up in an empty room, and pnever stopped till my interview was written, revised and reâ€"read. ‘"Knockâ€"out those two columns of ‘Parliamentary Gossip‘ " directed my editor, when he had cast an eye over my copy, "and the contents bill must be altered to ‘Jean Coussot‘s views of Loadon.‘ Well done, Miss Neville ! T‘il have a chat with you later." "Thank yo{l. so mucbh," said I, sweetâ€" ly, brembling inwardly lest this should prove to be the conclusion of our conâ€" versation. But the gallant Frenchman showed no intention of turning his back toâ€" ward me. On the contrary, ho wheeled still further round, and, keeping his eyes fixed upon my face, said ; "Ah ! You get down here! I regret it ! Will mademoiselle exchange cards in memory of our delightful conversaâ€" tion ?" Asecond after I jumped on to anâ€" other ‘bus, which soon landed meo at Piccadilly circus. "Zere are so many ‘buses and things in your London that it ese ver‘ conâ€" conplexing, confusing." "Vell," said he slowly, and I hung on his very words, "I am both disap pointed and pleased. It is a grand, but it makes one‘s head ache, there is so much beezueez. (How I remembered that word !) And I do not find it pretty. It is mouch dull, too gray, too ‘neutral tint,‘ as you say." HOOD‘s PILLS are the only pills to take with Hood‘s Sarsaparilla, Egsy and yor efficient, "Very confusing," I agreed. "Have you never been in London before !‘ "And are you disappointed or pleased with Lordon now you have seen it ?" I ventured, feeling that this question marked an epoch in my life. _ *"Neâ€"vair," said he. "I vant mouch to come, but somebow never do till this." © As may be remembered, the publica tion of that interview caused a great sensation in the journalistic wor‘d. ©I had no appetite and could not sleep at night, and I was so tired that I could hardly wuls. Isaw Hood‘s Sarsaparilla advertisedand procured four bottles. My health is now bet= ter than it has ever been since I was child, and I bave no: been sick for a long time." Miss JESSIE TURNBULL, Cranbrook, Ont. But the most pieasing memento of this little episode that I possess is an exquisitely fashioned small gold broach, embellished with the letters "M N" in diamonds, that M. Coussot himself sent to the Ray offices for me, bearing on the back the words in Eoaglish: ‘"To the Victor from the Vanquished."â€"Pall Mall Budget. Health is Better. ‘On the day of the trial I almost fell off my chair when my man entered. I knew the day before he had run a foot race, pitched horseshoes and gons a swimming. Now he tottered into court with two canes, had his neck and head muffled like a man with neuralgia, sat down slowly and with the greatest care and settled back with a groan that could be heard in the street. My first case of any importance,‘ said the lawyer who went to grow up with the country and then reponted, ‘was a damage suit for $10,000. A can of powder exploded in the basement of a hardware store, and my client, who had just purchased a jackknife, was trying it while occupying a nail beg on the floor above. _ He came out of the wreck mirus part of an ear and the end of a finger, and he claimed that one eye was ‘jest a leetle bib off.‘ ‘Blowed up,‘ he grinned. ‘Don‘t you think I know my business? There hain‘t rothin‘ on earth that ain‘t the matter with motill this here case is tried. I‘m the worst exploded foller you ever see. You ask the questions and look after the law p‘ints ; T‘ll tend to my end of it. All what‘s worryin‘ me is that I didn‘t have gumption enough to ask for $20,000.‘ ‘What in creation‘s the matter, Bill?

From his story of the accident you‘d believe that he was blown half a mile straight through the roof and hadn‘b a sound spot lefb in his anatomy. He was in the midst of his ‘story and pity was written on the faces of the jary, when Bill‘s wooly dog fell foul of a fox hound balonging to the court. They were knocking furniture helter skelter and filling the air with yelps and hair,when Bill let out a whoop, jumped over a table, danced around encouraging his dog, wanted to bet he would whip, and shoved the judge over a chair to prevent his parting the brutes. ‘Get a verdict ? Case was dismissed, Bill was fined $25 for contempt and was in jail for three weeks before I could get him out. Then he told arouad that I was no lawyer.‘â€"Detroit Free Press. _ ‘T ran across & station agent up in the bills the other day who came as near being jack of all trades as any man I ever struck,‘ said Henry Darby. ‘I refer to a little dried up looking fellow, with more energy than Carter bad cats and more irons in the fire than any blacksmith of long experience could possibly keep his eyes on.

Womcn are not the only ones who are sensitive about their ages. A man doesn‘t like to be told that he is getting old. Health keeps a man young. It doesn‘t make any difference if he has lived eighty years. If they have been healthy years, he will be hale and bearty and won‘t look within twenty years as old as heis. Good digestion and rich, red blood make psople look youthful. Dr. Pierce‘s Golden Medical Discovery makes ricb, red blood. It makes health in the right way. It works according to the right theory, and in 30 years of practice it has proved that the theory is absolutely correct. Jt begins at the beginningâ€" begins by putting the stomach, liver and bowels into perfect order, but it begins its good work on the blood before it finishes on the digestive system. It searches out disease germs wherever they may be and forces them out of the body.

Van Buskirk, C E ,described in a clear manâ€" ner "The Sewage Purification Works of Worcester, Mase.‘ This plant was thelargest in America for chemically treated sewage. In Worcester there are 80 miles of sewers, receiving manuâ€" facturing refuse as well as domestic sewage and surface water. _ Bsecause of the obnoxious odors, the city decided to purify the sewage. A system of chemical treatment was introduced from Europe in 1889, when six tanks were built, Ten tanks hbave been since added. The capacity of these tanks is 15,000,000 gallons a day. Lime slaked with water is the purifier. Forâ€" ty tons of lime a week,zosting $6 a ton, are used. After the action of lime in these tanks, the sewage slowly flows through a series of screens, where solid substanc:s are removed. The cfluâ€" ence pouring into the Blackstone River looks bright. The solid deposâ€" its are scooped into the river, Oaly eight men are employel to run the plant. _ By this 54 per cent. of the or ganic matter and 92 per cent. of the suspended matter is removed. Mr. Van Buskirk tbhought that purification by chemicals was an incomplete methâ€" od. Worchester‘s experience was simâ€" ilar to that of England, where it w.s not possible to make the effluence of sufficient purity to prevent danger to bealth. _ Rapid filtration through gravel and coke, aidsd by air was the best method. He felt sure that chemâ€" ical plants would soon be superseded by less costly and more efficient methâ€" ods. The Worchester plant cost $25,â€" 000 a year. Now that the good times are marchâ€" ing upon us, filling the farm ard the factory, and making the people cheerâ€" ful and the country glad, it might be well for all to remember that the best way to profit by the depression of the last four years is to save something out of the new prosperity for any other possible season of idleness and distress With the vast abundance that this country bas known, the habit of econoâ€" my has come siowly. Many have seen the wisdom of it, and they are our rich people and the owners of our lands and industries and banks and various profitable properties. _ But the great mejority of people bave lived up to their incomes, and when the wages stopped or the salary ceased, grim want stalked in. An‘ so good men and wellâ€"bred wom~« had to go to charity to keep them from :‘arvation; bad to sacrifice their pride a:.1 accept of the public bounty, becauss in their days of prospority they had forgotten the future. Saving comcs easily when it is once begun. Ds nob epend more thaun you earn. When Peter Cooper earned a dollar he lived on 50 cents of it, and other successful men will testify how bard the struggle was to sive the first money and how easy it was after the habit had been formed. We are goâ€" ing to have four of the greatest years the world has ever known, but no one should let that prospect delude him inâ€" to spending all he gets. There is safeâ€" ty only in saving. Mr, Hunter, after a period of 50 years, is retiring from the cattloâ€"raising business. During these years he has been one of the foremost breeders in the Dominion in his line,and has done a great deal towards improving the stock and building up the reputation of the County of Wellington as the Smithfield of Canada, and giviog it a name in the British markets. Tue Globs has the following to say of Mr. John F. Eby, son of the late John W. Eby of Elmira: Mr. J. F. Eby, thes head of the groâ€" cery firm which has gone so extensively into the Yukon supply business, is one of the bestâ€"known figures in Toronto‘s commercial life. Mr. Eby came here from Berlin, where he had learned the business which be has pursued all his life. Ho entered the employment of Howland & Fitch in 1864 and subseâ€" quently became a partnuer of Mr. Fitch when Sir W. P. Howland retired from the firm. He is now kead of the firm of Eby, Blain & Co., one of the great who‘lesale grocery establishments of the Dominion. The effects of the preforential tariff are being seenin the increase of Brit: ish exports to Canada. The exports to Canada for February last show an inâ€" crease of 23 per cent. upon the figures for the same month of last year. _ For the first two months of the year the increase was 17 per cent. The exports to all other countries desreased one per cent. in one month ard two per cent. in the other. _ Imports from Canada to Eagland decreased one per cent during the first month and increased 28 pcor cent. during the second one. From all other countries the increase in imâ€" ports for the first month was four per cent. The increased exports to Cansd occur largely in goods affected by the new preferential tariff, _aW > Mr. James Hunter of Alms, the well known short horn breeder, had a clearing sale on Wednesday of last week of short horn cattle,Olyde horses, Shropshire sheep and Berkshire pigs.
