The ^center of this famine is in Paris und Americans are said to be responsible for it. and will, with the rest of civil ization, have to suffer its dire conse quences. Already has its presence been felt, in New York. This famine does not mean starvation, though it does mean denial, not in the matter of daily bread, but in the important matter of pearls. Pearls have of late been growing more and more popular, more and more rare, and, therefore, more and more expensive. Pearl necklaces that our grand mothers wore are being resurrected, and the jewellers of Paris and New York aro being called on to supply a most unusual demand for these chaste ornaments. Americans are said to be the great pearl hunters, and so keen is their pursuit that prices are mounting daily. A pearl necklace which sold for $2,<i00 twelve years ago will today cost from $G,000 to $8,000. TO BE CONSIDERED. "1 xor; that your town has been con sidering tho idea of imposing a cn bachelors."

His argumcv-s aI*o /ocially interesting just -JWI when much attention is be'AE attracted thc hot regions of the world os Yacc's for exploitation. Thc doctor, a letter to the Medical Record, lays: "All men dream or Hie marvelous iches of the tropics, of the birds with alnbow plumage, of the extravagant Mowers, of the elegant tree-ferns, of ?tlie* banana and palms, with waving heaves, and of the cocoa-palm, which 'furnishes man with everything neces sary for life. Indeed wo pity him who 'has never aeon a tropical landscape as we pity him who had never soon tho sea. Then wo think oi the enormous treasures thc English, Spanish and Dutch have harvested from their tropi cal colonies, and. naturally, we think that tho tropics are the r?< liest re gions of thc world. All this may bc i true, yet n?- irihelws, in another sense, instead ol' being rieft, tii.o trop ics arc fatally poor. Unable io se cure thc nc-cccssarios ol' lifo, the peo ple of tropical countries are like the man in w?io-.o hand everything turns ?Ho gold, yet who perishes of hunger and thirst. "Ol' all tho brcadstuffs necessary for man thc tropics furnish only corn and vice, and those only to a limited extent. They have no wheat, rye, or po:aloes. The banana may bo. as Humboldt says, 133 times more pro ductive than wheat, and 44 times more .?o than potatoes, yet it cannot re place either as food. Xor can white men live for any length of time on 'icc and corn alone, nor on bananas j and palm-nuts. Native tropical foods ran only hold body and soul together, as they furnish but little vigor, energy, and power. No machine can do good work with poor fuel. A man who has neither bread nor meat cannot get lifo and strength and push from tea, coffee, sugar, vanilla, and all thc pre cious spices. Tropical products aro merely commercial luxuries and ii the inhabitants of cold climes did not buy thom the people.nt' the tropics would lack Yrrr> necesr aries and comforts of life and would yet "dioke with their own riches. "If we wish to know the effects of tho poor diet of the tropics combined with the^fffcts of tho heat, wo have cn}y-tok)ok jt thc inhabitants of thesa <"o'.intrios. A's-*1 general rule they are thin, poorly br'iL and unfit for intel lectual or phydeal labor. Occasional exceptions wiv^'O1 -.confirm the rule.

Among Ibo drawbacks of civilization arc the people who think they know us so much, bettor than we know them. A philosopher is a man who believes that he receives more spiritual intima tions than he needs for his own use. Even the woman who boasts that she carns her own bread and butter likes to have it man treat her to ice crea m. What seems to be the absence of a sense of humor is often merely the presence of a sense of propriety. Nature has her jesting moods; there are rich, red roses which have no odor.
