characteristics of the Long Island


All things else may wax and wane,
but not the Long Island farmer As
lived his forefathers, so lives he. He is
unchanged and unChangeable "A
phlegmatic, conservative old soul" says
the student of human nature; the
tightest man on the face of the earth, "
eXclaims the land sPccuIator; "a quaint,
charming people. living after the customs
of their forefGthcrs" gushes the sum
mer visitor. This latter is true.
A sharper contrast is nowhere else
afforded between the past and present
than on Long Island, the favorite water
ing place of the United States and at the
same time the horne and ancient herit-
age Of the Long Island farmer. New
Workers are fast getting possession of
the island, and in proportion are trans
forming it; but adjoining their grounds
and villas stands the old farm house,
with its weathcr-Deaten, shingled sides;
its double doors and wooden shutters,
which are as securely closed at night as
i'll the days when the Indians lurked
around. The old farmer may count his
money by thousands, but he Clings to the
primitive ways of his ancestors The old
fashioned ''hit and miss" carpets, with
the breadths overlapping each other, the
mahogany chest of drawers, the high
post bedstead and the ancient timepiece
still grace the rooms. Every Saturday
the brisk housewife scrubs and sands the
floor and paints the bricks before the fire
place. The unchanged customs in the
farming settlements are a marvel To
visitors. A lady 60 years old was heard
exclaiming: "Why, that is
just the way my mother did itr' The

TYPES OF ENGLlsHMEN.
What a Correspondent Has Observed.
Nearly Everybody Dresses Alike.

Nearly Everybody Dresses Alike.
In ones every day experience in society, be
it gained in summer or winter, spring or au-
tumn, while one meets many speCiTIens Of
what may be termed the genus gentleman, :"
, as he fuurishes in England, and who as such,
present no distinctive ear marks different
from the one common pattern, one encounters
various types Of men. Taken in a general
way, there Is a good deal of resemblance be
tween them. But underlying the surface
made by the observance Of a code Of social
rules, whose enforced acceptance makes flen
apparently 81 alike, thoro exists a current Of
individual personality discernible in the
channels chosen for the qualification of their
inherent and society permissible bcnts.
Thus, Us distinct types of English gentle
men, we have the hunting man, the fishing
man, the vocalist, the musician, the CTiCketer,
the amateur actor, the turtle, the yachts
man, the boating man, the "hOrScy' man, the
"army' man, the naval man, the young
barTister, the lawn tennis player, tho shoot
ing man, tho dog" fancier, the politician,
and, rarest types OF all in English high sOci-
ety-the scientific and literary man. In
many men two or moro OF these distinct
types combine, as il were, and wa have an
army man possessing and exhibiting tho
distinguishing characteristics of the tennis
player, the amateur actor, or the yacttSman;
on the yaChtsman may lie a cricketer or a
dog fancier, or both, as well. Or, again,
the young barrister may be a politician IA
most frequent combination), or the hunting
man may be a vocalist, and so on.
But think it will be generally found that,
while several traits may be possessed, one
will take the lead and show itself before the
others. Now, how do these governing signs
of individual taste exhibit themselves in socl-
etyi In good society all men dress alike. The
exhibition Of anything savOring Of profession
or predominant taste in either clothing or
ornament would be about As glaring confes-
sion of low breeding, or bad form, as man
could make OF course, / except clergymen.
