one which is intended to benefit not 
merely his employes and their families 
but the whole working population of 
the Clichy quarter. This addition com¬ 
prises a surgical hospital (with dispen¬ 
saries for out-patients), besides two 
blocks of what are known in France 
as habitations economiques or model 
tenement-houses. T he buildings — the 
hospital and the tenements—stand on 
opposite sides of a square which has 
frontage on four streets and are separa¬ 
ted by a large, beautifully-laid-out gar¬ 
den. The hospital, which is literally 
surrounded by gardens, is so placed as to 
have a great number of sunny rooms. It 
sounds like a commonplace to say that 
it fulfils the strictest requirements of 
medical and surgical science, but when I 
showed it the other day to an American 
gentleman who has devoted much of his 
life to the improvement of hospitals, and 
who therefore looked upon every detail 
with the eye of an expert, he pronounced 
it “altogether and absolutely perfect.’’ 
The hospital, it must be understood, 
is not intended for paupers, but for self- 
respecting people of the working class. 
The surgical attendance is free, but 
patients pay for their board—50 cents 
per day if in a ward or $1 in a private 
room. 
The two model tenements are five 
stories in height and contain sixty-five 
fiats, each of them consisting of a good- 
sized vestibule, either one or two bed¬ 
rooms, a kitchen, and a water-closet 
with abundance of water, besides a 
locked compartment in the cellar. 
There is not one dark room in either 
house, nor a single window that looks 
upon a court. Every room faces either 
the street or the pretty garden to which 
I have alluded; and the corridors and 
staircases are as well lighted as the flats. 
In each kitchen is a convenient little 
cooking-range (which takes up less space 
than a stove), gas and water, the latter 
being supplied from an artesian well 280 
feet deep, another of M. Gouin’s con¬ 
structions. The rents in these houses 
range between $45 and $60 per year, 
according to the position and size of the 
flats. And I should add that even put¬ 
ting them at these low figures—at least 
one-third less than is asked for inferior 
lodgings of the same size in the neigh¬ 
borhood—this kind of property in Paris 
yields a net income of 4 or 5 per cent.—
