French women 1t is the same type, the same
gait, the snme vivacity, the Same petulanco,
the same amplitude Of proportions
The beauty of the American women, like
that Of the men, is due much more to the ami
mntion OF tho face than to form or coloring.
The average of good looks Is very high, in
deed. do not remember to nave seen one
hopelesly plain woman during my six
months ramble through the states
American women generally enjoy that
second youth which nature bestows also on
numbers Of French women AT 20 they
bloom out into a more majestic beauty. The
eyes retain their fire and luster, the skin does
not wrinkle, the hands, neck and arms re-
main firm and white. 1t is true that In
America hair turns gray early, but, so far
from detracting from the womans charms, it
gives her an air OF distinction, and Is often
positively an attraction
The New Workers and Bostonians will have
1t to be that Chicago women have enormous
feet and hands / was willing to believe this
up to the day | went to Chicago. found
tho Chicago women, end those OF the west
generally, pretty, with more color thnn their
eastern sisters, only, as a rule, quite slight, not
TO say thin.
Thn. which is lacking in the pretty Ameri
can faces Of the east is color and freshness
The complexion is pale, and II is only their
plumpness which comes to their rescue after
30 and prevents them from looking faded.
Those who remain thin generally fade quickly;
tho complexion becomes the color of whity
brown paper, and wrinkles freely.
II American women went In for more out
door exercise; II they let the outer air pene-
trate constantly into their rooms; II they
gave up living in lighthouses, they would have
some color, and their beauty need perhaps
fear no competition in Europe.

When a man OF average intelligence re-
turns homo after having made n voyage to a
foreign land, he cannot help having formed
a certain numbsr of impressions, and he has
n right to communicate them to his friends
They are but impressions, notes taken by tho
wayside, and, II there Is an error committed
by any one, IL is by tho critic or the reader,
when either of these looks for n perfect pict-
ure Of tho manners and institutions of tho
people the author has visited, instead of
simple impressions do voyage. Certainly, II
there is a country in the world that 1t would
DO impossible 10 judge In six months, that
country is America, and the author who, in
such a little space Of time, allowed himself to
fall into tho error of sitting In Judgment
upon her would write himself down an ass.
To form a really exact idea of America ono
would need to live twenty years in the coun-
try, nay, to be an American, for | may add
that, in my opinion, tho best books that exist
upon the different countries of the world
have bcen written by natives of those coun-
tries Never has an author written of tho
English like Thackerny; never nave the
Scotch been painted with such fidelity as by
Ramsay; and TO describe Tnrtarin 1t needed
not only a Frenchman but a Provencal, al
most a Tnrasconnais
1t must be allowed that Jonathan has good
reason TO mistrust his critics. Most books on
America have been written by Englishmen.
Now the English are, OF all people, those
who can the least easily get rid Of their preju-
diccs in speaking OF America They are
Obliged to admit that the Americans have
made their way pretty well since they have
been their own masters; but John Bull has
always a ranking remembrance, when he
looks at America, of the day that the Ameri,
cans sent him about his business, and his look
seems to say to Jonathan; "Yes, yes, you
have not done at all badly-for you, but Just
think what the country would have been by
this timo If it had remained in my hands,
The Englishman, on his side, has no antip-
nthy Whatever to the Americans For that
matter the Englishman has no antipathy for
any one. He despises, but he docs not hate
a fact which is irritating to the last degree
70 the objects of his attention When a MAJ
feels that he has some worth, no likes to b,
loved or hated; to be treated with indiffer
ence is calling. John Bull look on the Ameri
can as a parvenu, md smiles with Incredibly
when you say that American society is no
-ly brilliant and witty, but quite as polishec
us the best European society.
1t is this naughty disdain which exasperate
Americans
Jonathan has forgotten that tho Englisl
were once his opprcssors; he forgives then
for the war OF 1872; without forgetting IT
he forgives them for having, during the civi

CHAPTER 1

Tho population Of America Is SIXTY millions

II the earth is small, America Is large, and
the Americans are immensei
Yes, sixty millions-aIl alive and kicking
From east to west, America stretches over
a breadth of moro than 5000 miles Here
IT is well to put some readers on their guard,
In case an American should one day put &c
them one of his ~favorite questions: "where
Is the center Of American l myself imagined
that, starting from New York and pushing
westward, ono would reach tho extremity Of
America ON arriving at San Francisco. Not

you are going to answer wrongly, and II you
want to please him, you must let yourself be
caught in this little trap, because 1t viii give
lin such satisfaction to put you right AT
San Francisco, it appears you are not quite
half way, and the center Of America is really
in the Pacific ocean. Jonathan more thnn

In America, everything Is on an Immense

but let us not anticipate. Give rue time to
recover my breath, and set my ideas In order.
These Americans are rocking with unheard-

Ny ideas arc oil jostling in my poor old
European brain. There is no longer any
thing impossible, and tho fairy tales are
child's play compared to what ono may 500
every day. Everything is prodigious, done
by steam, by electricity; q e dazzling, and
no longer wonder that tho Americans only
use their adjectives in the superlative.
As an illustration OF what ! advance, here
is n letter that | received from an American,
In the month of May, 1887, and which finally
decided me 10 go and 500 America It Is
dated from Boston;
DEAR Sm-I was on tho point of taking
tho boat at IL today, to go and hnvo n talk

During the past spring and summer our
Southern brethren have thronged into
Colorado, and after climbing our peaks,
exploring our canyons and snowballing In
midsummer to their hearts content, re-
turned delighted with our scenic attrac-
tons, and charmed by the spirit of hearty
hospitality with which they were well
coined. Now it should be our duty, and
a pleasant one, to return these visits.
The Fort Worth railroad has given us the
opportunity. Their advertising depart
ment has Just issued a pamphlet entitled
Winter Tourist Routes and Rates from
the Summit to the Sea-" giving reduced
excursion rates for this winter season and
a number of different routes through the
South.
Coloradoans cannot Justly plead the
necessity of escaping from a severe winter,
but many of them would be pleased with
the change to a se~mi-tropical climate
where the flowers p~erpetually bloom, and
a visit to places of such historic interest
as Houston, Austin, Galveston, San An
tonic or New Orleans. Or, if they should
wish stranger or more tropical chimes,
these routes include a trip to such interest
ing old places as Monterey, Saltillo and
the City of Mexico. Full particulars may
be obtained by addressing Geo. Ady, gem
eral passenger and ticket agent of the
Denver, Texas K Forth Worth railroad.

It is found that walls laid up of
good, hard burned bricks, in mortar
composed of good lime and sharp
sand, will resist a pressure of 1,6O0
pounds per square inch, or ZIG, 600
pounds per square foot, at which fig
ure it would require LOCO feet height
of twelve inch wall to crush the bot
tom courses, allowing 1876 pounds as
the weight of each cubic foot. 1t also
appears from accurate calculations
and measurements that walls laid up
