PARIS AT ITS GAYEST.

HISTORICAL AND SCIENTIFIC EXHIBITSAT THE PETIT PALAIS—CRADLE OF

PRINCE IMPERIAL.Paris. May 5.

The Petit Palais of the Champs Elysees will bedevoted during the coming two months to the Chil-dren's 3how. or Exposition de l'Enfance. institutedlast Saturday, when the patronesses, among whomare the Grand Duchess Vladimir of Russia, theGrand Duchess Helene of Russia and the Duchessof Rohan, received their guests. On Sunday, not-withstanding the counter attractions of two salonsIn the Grand Palais. !t seemed as Ifall the womenand children of Paris had made the art and toygalleries of the little folks their trystlng place.

The more serious and dryer sections of the show—

those devoted to education, health and philan-thropy—are admirably organized by models ofcreches and establishments where working mothersmay safely deposit their infants during their day'slator. The departments showing the best clothesfor children to wear, what tables should eat anddrink, how they should develop their brains nndbodies, formulate in tangible, comprehensible man-ner the results of the latest scientific research andexperiment. The section pertaining to "the littleones at home" contains priceless collections oftoys of all times a.nd countries. The Neapolitantoy chest, for Instance, comprises over five hun-dred figures, which move about automatically andpay homage to the Infant Christ, seated on a hill-side, while an elaborate music box plays sicredcompositions of Paiestrlna.

The Prince de Wajrram sends a beautiful collec-tion of historic toys, among which Is a little mus-ket that belonged to the Kingof Rome— '"i'Aiglon."Ina lateral gallery are exhibited hundreds of dollsand toys that belonged to the unfortunate Dauphin,

who, had he lived, would have reigned as LouisXVII. There is a game of skittles mad.' by LouisXVI for his son. Near by is a little kitchen, inchasM silt bronze, by C.iftVrl. with figures andaccessories In old Dresden china, which was thefavorite toy of Louis XVI when a c.iild. There Isa baby's padded cap. in blue silk, with lace andembroidery, that was worn by Louis XV when aninfnnt. There are dozens of beautifully paintedchildren's carriages and sledß^s, some of whichbelonged to the little Alexandrine La Normandd'Etlolles, daughter of tho Marquise de Pompadour,a chilci whose portrait, by Boucher, also figures Intrie exhibition, and for which Mme. Henri Deatschpaid $17.<W) at the Muhlbacber sale There are

thousands of lead nnd tin soldiers of the Kirst Km-pire period. A very attractive showcase contains

made of waterproof canvas, and placed 1* In apine prove near the house. It was floored severalinches from the ground to keep out the dampness.and fitted up prettily with simple pictures andmany toys, and i? reserved for rainy days ex-clusively. In this way lh« tent has come to beregarded as a special treat, and the children lookforward to rainy days with pleasure instead ofdread.

Am. n? the toys are ¦great clas? howl of waterwith magnetic tlshes, easily caught by a magnet, a

a rich cashmere design. These little pattes. whichare fastened with tiny gold buttons, hardly largerthan spangles, and outlined by a tine black velvetcord, go up th« back of the garment on each sideover tt..- shoulders and down the front. Betweenthese ,'>ws the moussellne .i.- sole is arranged Inrun folds. The choker of white mouseeline de solsfloes not meet in front, and has the sides connectedby pattes of the trimmincm

A Hack and white striped silk Is made up as afull blouse, held by a corse' of gold tissue, fast-en.-i with red velvet rosettes. Alternate lines ofnarrow black and white lace simulate a yoke andencircle the choker. On each side of th« choker infront Is a deep turnover point of red velvet.

Two materials, such as a Pompadour silk and aplain pink taffeta, are used In one blouse There Isa lace collar descending In the form of an openvest, and an Inner ve=t of the tucked taffeta. Therest of the blouse is of the flow. r. <\ silk The elbowsleeves are of the tucked taffeta, with turn upcuffs of the Pompadour.

One of the shirred gowns that promise to be bomodish Is of Mai ni"uss.'U:io de sole, mad<» unwith panels of beurre colored guipure. These panelsare about three inches across where they start, atthe waist; st the bottom they grow broader, untilthey unite In a lace, rutflo that surrounds the skirtIn points. In this way the lace really frames theshirred, pointed panels of mousseline de sole. Thoelbow sleeves anil the bodice are shirred all over.A scarf of lac«» mak»»s a bolero that ends InlittleJabots on each side of the bust, and the elbowsleeves have lace ruffles.

LOVELY SPRING COSTUMES SEEN OX

THE BOULEVARDS AND BOIS.

Paris. May 10.It Is full spring In Paris, anil for the next two

months the city will present Its gayest aspect— aBide that those who know the capital only duringthe dusty cummer months can hardly Imagine. Tomiss Paris In the ppring is to miss the essence ofthe city's charm. The French autumns are rainy,

the winters gray, cold and wet; the sprlnp, whichbegins early and lasts late. Is the one perfect sea-eon. There Is no wind and little rain, and. whilethe bright eunllrht may not be sufficient to warmat once the gloomy apartments. It m:ik.--s the bou-levards and the Bo!s delightful. The whole worldis out of doors, working, eating, or only IndulgingIn that refined kind of loafing- at which the nationexcels. A city In which every Important thorough-fare Is lined with stately trees cannot fall to bebeautiful when the tap has well risen. The horsechestnuts show bunches of white tassels among

the thick green, and the more backward bircheslook like green feathers against the background ofgray buildings.

One rather odd feature of the spring season Isthat the znodleh P&rlslenne will display on theStreet far more elaborate gowns than she wouldallow herself to wear inpublicat any other time ofthe year. She seems to delight Indiscarding herjalior made, and In many cases appearing in an

BLINDAND DKAF SEE AND HEAR INVIENNA

-ORGANS THAT HAVE NOT PROPER

BRAIN CONNECTIONS.

In the Institution for the Blind, in Vienna. ther»Is a boy of seven years who. blind from his birth.has learned in fourteen months to re;id and to dis-tinguish color, form and objects of daily use. Thesehe recognizes either by day or by artificial light

without previous touch and at continually increas-ing distances. Professor Heller, of the institution.

who has spent thirty years with the deaf, dumb

and blind, recently Introduced the lad to the Society

of Phyrtctana at Vienna and explained his methodsof instruction. Professor Heller's theory is thatthe cause of deafness and blindness inpersons whopossess perfectly formed organs of hearing andsight is due to a loss of proper connection of thoseorgans with the brain. Basing his teaching upon

this principle, he has. It is said, made seventy-

two children, formerly deaf and dumb, hear andspeak. Three years ago two Hungarian boys,brothers, were brought to Professor Heller forpreparation for the blind school. Both, accordingto a leading oculist of Vienna, have eyes that areperfectly formed and are suffe Ing from "psychicalblindness." With both Dr. Heller's methods wereadopted. They were placed In a perfectly darkroom In which there was a movable, transparent.

illuminated disk, ami after long and patient effortlearned the difference between light and dark. Theyoungest was soon able to localize the disk. Thena large house key was placed In his hands thathe might reel it. When he had learned to knowit the key was hung behind the disk and the boysaid. "What you have placed in the light is yourhouse key." In the same way he became acquaint-

ed with a bull and soon learned to distinguishthem apart. When a piece of red glass »is hung

between the lamp and the disk, the boy said."There Is another light." This, he learned, wasred In the same manner he became familiar withall the colors. Outside the darkened room the child

was still blind, but there he learned geometricalfigures letters and figures. Gradually the instruc-

tion was extended to daylight and he now readswith his eyes.

THE PRIZE STORY.

The prize offered in the Children's Corner ofApril21 for the best story on the picture entitled"Kiddy's Dilemma" has been awarded to HelenBridge, of Pateraon. N. J.. aged nine years. Inmaking the decision punctuation, spelling and pen-

manship were considered as well as the plot. MissHelen's story Is as follows":

BIDDY'S DILEMMA.One day Farmer Brown brought home a Betting

of ducks' eggs. But he had no duck to put themunder, so lie gave the eggs to an old hen whowanted to set very badly. This hen had neverbeen able to have little chickens before. So shenever left the nest, and boasted to the other henswhat they would be. Soon five eggs were open,and out came surh funny chicks! They had longyellow bills, and their tees were all fastened to-gether. The mother was much surprised at them.She did not let any one else know it. She told theother hens that these were -i new kind of chicken.Biddy was a good mother, and found them plentyof worms. When they were out walking she heldher tv a.l very high, But one day they took a walkdown the road. It was a nice sunny day, and thehen and her brood enjoyed it very much. Aftera while, they came to a stream. Biddy did not evenlook at It, but the little chicks ran toward It andBiddy ran after them, scolding and crying, but itwan of no use. She expected to see the foolishChicks drowned, but to her surprise they swam offon the water. The poor mother was afraid to leavethe bank to go after them, so she could only standand look amazed. Then she went back to thechicken house all alone to think itover. When sheleft the little dUCkS, for SO they were, she lookedvery sad. But when she thought about It for awhile she grew prouder, and after that there wasno end to her boasting.

open carriage, or even on foot. In an elaborate

form of silk gown, unconcealed by any wrap. It

seems permissible to do this now. and forbidden at

any other season.One pretty touch this year Is the amount of red

used— a color which, as a rule, has rarely been

favored in the spring. Two dresses seen within anaif hour yesterday afternoon owed their effect to

a discreet use of this color. One was a foulard

rilk. a white ground, with large black spots of dif-

ferent sizes on it. The skirt was made with (wo

shaped flounces, that were lined with red. and

there was a red corselet belt holding a full blouse.There mas some further trimming of black and

white lace on the gown, but It was the red lining

to the ruffles that gave the novel touch.

EMPLOYING A TOUCH OF RED.

Another gown was a pray canvas etuff. the stuff

to soft that It must have had some silk woven Init.

The skirt, laid in line tucks all about the hips,

flared excessively at the bottom, and had no train.

The top was a loose bolero, hanging In folds that

fell into box pleats. This was lined with red silk,

and there was a red velvet ribbon run In and

out of the folds beUtaC every alternate box pleat

of this embroidery showed in the form of a littleyoke above This, however, was laced across with

clothes of the KinK of Rome and of the Duke ofBordeaux, and there is something pathetic aboutthe plain strip"', unbleached linen costume wornby the Infant Dauphin when imprisoned In theTemple with his mother. Queen Marie Antoinette.

One of the most Interesting galleries In the ex-hibition Is that of the Juvenile portraits of persons

who have since become famous. The portrait ofTolstoi when a lad of fifteen has a stern, relent-less severity of expression that contrasts vividly

with the frank, open. laughing face of the CzarNicholas 11. as presented in a miniature painted

when the present Emperor was five years old.Among the infant portraits are those of the late

Dom Pedro. Emperor of Brazil, the Due d'Aumale.Alexandra Dumas. Victories Bardou, Camllle Balnt-Saens. Paul Desehar.el, I'". Poxsl and Labbe,

a portrait of a young woman holding a basket offlowers by Romney. which has great delicacy anasweetness. Two children, a brother and sister,seated on a garden bench— the lad has his right

arm about his sister's waist-is a charming workby Sir Joshua Reynolds. A young nobleman inred. on a rock, with a bit of English green land-scape as a background, was painted by Sir Joshuaat a period when the artist was most strunglyunder the Influence of Correggio.

The modern French school of juvenile portraitureIs represented by Daumler. Bastlen-Lepage. Qa-varnl and by the most prominent artists whosecanvases figure In one or the other of the two salons

of the present year.Eighteenth century Juvenile sculpture Is admi-

rably represented by Clodion and by numerous terracotta statuettes by unknown sculptors. The Na-tional Porcelain Factory, at Sevres, sends a com-plete collection of the works in miniature relatingto children's statues made at that establishmentduring the last century. Contemporary sculpturepertaining to children is admirably represented byPubcis and Moreau-Vautier.

English visitor^ are attracted by two large statue»In sliver gill, representing the present King wheneight years of age. and the other representing thelate Duke, of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha when PrinceAlfred, at the age of five. Both of these statueswere made In 1849. That of the young Prince ofWales is by Calmels, and that of Prince Alfred Isby Weygrand. The Prince of Wales is In sailordress, while Prince Alfred Is In the uniform of agrenadier. . .. .-•-'
