An American lady who Travelled alone
through Europe, conversant with no Lam

her return, did you really spend fourteen
months In all sorts of foreign places and
speak nothing but Englishf Eyes" was the
reply, "but would never do 1t again"
A traveller In Morocco gives, In "The Land
of an African Sultan" the following account
OF little occurrence which took place In tho
Sok, or principal street Of Tangier, and which
goes to corroborate the evident opinion Of the
American tourist, that 1T is a serious disad-
vantage not TO De a linguist.
A we'll disposed elderly gentleman was Wis
iting Tangier some years ago, before the
country was opened as it is now. He, of
the ignorance and bgotry of its Inhabitants,
On returning to his hotel he engaged guide,
to whom he told his purpose of preaching a
sermon there.
Tho guide, who knew the danger Of such II
proceeding, kept his own counsel, but pointed
out the risk which he himself should run in
interpreting the discourse He demanded
proportionately large sum Of money In pay.
mcnt and this the benevolently inclined gen
teman at once PROMISED him.
Arrived in the Sok, the preacher mounted
an empty case and began his sermon, and
great was his delight to see the crowd gather
quickly about him, as the guido interpreted
his fcrvent sentences. Larger grew the
crowd, and no one uttered a word III breath
less silence they listened to the end, and then
departed, followed by the old gentleman.
Not many weeks later a leading English
paper published long article on tlle mission
airy question in Morocco, and described the
patience with which this crowd listened to
sermon on the Christian religion.
But the kindly old gentleman who preached
that sermon, and afterward wrote the news
paper article. never knew that what tho in
terpreter really delivered to these delighted
Moors was story from the Arabian Nights.

Black Paper and White Ink.

1t Is suggested that newspapers should DO
printed in white letters on black paper, in
stcad Of white paper printed IN black letters,
rs now The change is one to be desired by
tho public, for the reason that white letter
on black ground possesses greater contrast
and distinctness, and is, consequently, easier
on the eyes. The change will give at first
All odd enough appearance to printed matter,
but the merit Of it will eventually result in it's
general adoption, and in time the black letter
will be rs rare as The white letter now is.
Sign painters and showcard printers recog-
nize the SUI erority of tho white letter and
are rapidly adopting it, rs is evidenced by the
numerous white lettered signs now to be seen
OIL the streets and III tho shops The change
would TX comparatively inexpensive TO pub
fishers, and Us black is cheaper than white
paper u saving could he effected. With our
newspapers thus printed, reading on cars and
in dmly lighted places would be not only
practicable but Anaconda Standard.

"Do you know it's IL heap harder to hit

WAS SO.

English Law.

When Aaron Burr was in England, the
Spanish minister asked for his repatriation
on the ground that he had been guilty OF I'M
dertaking an expedition against the Spanish
American colonies. British authorities were
bound to take notice of this demand and to
give due consideration to the international
question involved by the course Of the Span
ish ambassador The diplomatic relations Of
tho three great powers the United States,
Spain and Great Britain were to some extent
involved.
Mr.. Burr was summoned to appear, and
was given an opportunity of making his own
defense He boldly declared and claimed his
rights as British subject Under Magma
Charta to remain unnioested IN the country
to which he owed allegiance that he was en-
titled to protection by virtue Of his birth
under the British government long before the
Independence Of America, and that Great
Britain could not refuse to recognize the
right of any subject born within the realm
of its colonies. Many lawyers were consult
ed OH the subject, and after very full con
sideration 1t WAS determined that the posi-
ton taken by Mr.. Burr was the correct one
under the English laws.
Tho negotiations ceased, and the Spanish
ambassador had the modification OF witness
ing the tolerated presence Of Aaron Burr III

Britain and at the same time a citizen Of the

One OIL "Old Hutch"

Whenever anything occurs over on the
board of trade involving the name OF B. P.
Hutchinson, Familiarity known MS odd
Hutch,n innumcrable anecdotes Of himself
and his doings are raked up out of the misty
past and banded about for the sake OF tho
amusement they may create. One Of the best
stories of Hutch relates 10 his presentation
Of a carpet to the Century club 1t happened
a long while ago, but Is still fresh In the
memory Of all who know of it, Mr. Hutch
inson, 50 the story goes, was In the rooms Of
the club very late one night and got into
quito q confidential chat with the colored
jantor, who was the only other person pres
ent. At the conclusion of the chat the mill
ionaire speculator asked his humble friend
what he could do for him. Tho man scratched
his head and considered awhile, and then re-
marked that If Mr. Hutchinson would buy
him u carpet for the front room Of his little
fiat he would be extremely grateful.
Carpet" echoed the old gentleman
whats the matter with this carvctl Here
take it," and the phlanturopc Spectator
proceeded to tear up with his own hands the
somewhat shabby floor covering of the club
The delighted darkv, fearful perhaps, of
change in his benefactors mind, sped away
with his prize, and Mr. Hutchinson, calling n
carriage, sped with even more rapidly up to
his residence on Michigan avenue. Going
straightway to the dining room he proceeded
to rip up the costly carpet, dump 1t into the
waiting carriage, and drive back to the Cen
fury club, where lie skillfully tackled it down
In place OF tho one he had given away Next
day tho members pissed many compliments
on their handsome new carpet. Aud to this
day some of them are in ignorance as to
whence it came. This, 4. must he borne in
mind, is only one OF the many stories In cir
culation about odd Hutch" and Is only
given for what it is worth. Chicago Tribune.
