At about 8:30 the doctors held the regu ar morning c-itisuitatiou. The Con saltation was brief, the snortest since the president wa> stricken, and when the puysiciaus came out their elation was evident in their smiling counten ances. Dr. Myuter paused after iie jumped into his buggy to announce that everything continued “eminently satis factory.” “The president has had a piece of toast and a enp of coffee this morning,” said he, “in audition to a cup ot beef broth. He will want a cigar soon.” “Will he be aide to sit up soon?” “No, uot for a time,” answered the doctor. “Not until tne exterior wound in tne abdomen heals and grows strong ami his neart action grows normal.” “What is the cause of his accelerated pulse?” “On.

The bullet in the body is scarcely men tioned now, either by ihe president, ins fnenus or the puysiciaus. As a factor in the president’s condition u is seem ingly ignored. The concensus of opin ion of the physicians is that tne outer wound will uot be healed tight for sev eral weeks and that it will be advisable for him to remain here quietly lor about a mouth. They will rake no chances. Dr. McBurney says the president’s abil ity to sit up is now purely a question of mechanics, but that such a move will not be permitted until the wouu i is per fectly strong. “ANARCHIST QUEEN” TALKS.

A few years ago both oil aud natural gas were discovered, but the develop ments were uot carried far enough to fully determine the quantity.

Oil of tne fin est grace was discover- d in all these wells, but for sum unknown reason the wells were buddeuiy plugged, aud re main so today.

WHEN A PARISIAN BATHES. The Dlfllonltlea He Encounter* In TnUinn u Hot Dip. When a Parisian takes a hath, alt Paris knows it—tliat is. when he takes a hot hath. The Parisian has a hard time keeping clean. That he succeeds so well is very much to his credit. He labors under the disadvantage of hav ing no adequate supply of water. There is plenty of water in Paris, to be sure, and an enormous quantity of it is used on tiie streets. All day long men with lines of hose which are made in metal lie sections with flexible joints, each section mounted ou wheels, go up and down the principal streets and boult* vards distributing water with a free hand. The difficulty is not to get wa ter ou the street level, but to get ‘t above that level, and after that the great difficulty is to get it hot. All but the very newest of modern lion sen iu Paris have water only on the street level. This water is carried to tin upper floors of houses in bucket needed. This is true not alone of pri vnte houses, hut of hotels of tiie older type. These abound iu Paris, and the comforts tiny offer to the traveler are almost confined to the table. Moreover, though water may be drawn in any quantity ou the ground floor, there are no facilities for heatiu. , ’• water. A hotel keeper may put a ket tie on the range ami send up a quart of hot water to your room, but when it comes to tilling a tub he would admit that it was hr.vond the capacity of his establishment. Many Parisians use the big bathhouses along the Seine in places these houses occupy a greater part of tiie river, but if a Parisian j wants n hot bath at home lie tim-u turn to that time honored French institu- ; tioti. tiie perambulating bathtub. To the American who sees this Insti tution for tiie first lime traversing the , principal streets of the great city it is very mirth provoking. And he will s»*c | it in almost any part of tiie city If he stays there long enough and moves ! about the sheets, for the bathniau’s i houses are distributed all over Paris. !
