Tn. Art of Spending.

Apropos Of the sale of jewelry in Paris
during the exhibition season, a French
contemporary enters into what it calls
'the physiology of the buyer" with spe-
cial reference TO national idiosyncrasies.
It seems that purchases of jewelry have
this year doubled the average amount Of
former years; and that this happy COM
pensation for political dizziness is due al
most entirely TO the invasion of the bar
barians. And among the invaders the
American stands pre-eminently first in
favor. He has three first rate qualities
he goes straight to what he wants, he
pays cash down, and he never bargains.
One day a leading jeweler had the
pleasure Of selling a necklace to an
American for 800. 900 francs for money
down on the counter, without being
asked for the smallest discount or reduc-
tion-how much he would have given
had he been asked, the Partisan trades
man does not say.
Next TO the American. "le roi des
acheteurs." comes the Russian, who
makes very large purchases, but not
quite in SO reckless a ann then the
Spaniard and then the Englishman, who,
we should have thought. would have
been placed third.
The rest of the nations seem to come
nowhere in comprehensive German,
no doubt, has not much cash left after a
series of military budgets; the Dutch
man is too frugal, and the Italian is too
much accustomed TO bargain. regarding
a discount of so per cent. as in the nat
ural course of things at home.
But even the Italian Is welcome In
comparison with the Frenchman from
the country. The detestable provincial,
ever when rolling In money, will avoid
the great establishments and seek the
small ones, which cannot afford TO send
a customer away. He will drive out
rageously hard bargains, and will 20
away and return day afte- day until the
tradesman will let him have what he
wants at almost any price to get rid of
him. The American without vanity. or
the Englishman who dislikes trouble,
would evidently do well to employ a
Frenchman from the country, even at q
heavy percentage, to do his bargaining.

Mrs. Langtry's Silver Bath Tub.

A curious story il told as to the origin
Of Mrs. LAngtry's silver bath. Bath
makers believe hat there is only one
silver bath in the world. This was made
some years ago for an Indian prince by
a London bathmaker. and he supposes
that, the owner having died, the silver
bath came into the market and was
bought by Mrs. Langtry. A silver bath
isa tremendous affair. Some few wealthy
people have copper baths plated with
silver, but the cost is but a trifie COM
pared with the genuine article. Some
wealthy people who go in for luxurious
bathing fill their bathrooms with statu-
airy. have painted tile walls, and the bath
is fitted into a case of carved oak. Then
there are marble baths. They are both
cold and costly.
The most novel thing in baths. how
ever. is one fitted with a shower bath
overhead, a needle spray bath at the sides
and a wave bath that rushes out at the
foot. These are in addition to the ordinary
hot and cold taps. So that a possessor of
one of these ingenious things can have f,e
styles of bathing. They cost about Sl25.
There are have a dozen or more differ.
ent sorts of towels for bathing. After
the ordinary Turkish and h~uckaback
towels some doctors are fond Of recon-
mending a towel of rushes. made appro-
priately enough by Russian peasants II
is hard and stiff and feels like a coarse
dishcloth. Its use is confined to bathroom
fanatics who think they are happ: in
abraiding their skins. Then there Is an
elastic towel made of net. and another
skin raiser called loofah- This is I'm.
ported from Egypt. The loofah is msde
of dried grass and it doesn't soften by im.
mersion in water.-Kansas City Times.

It Is O startling statement, and yet tits
said TO be true, that al important crisis
In the American Revolution was passed
In safety by the help of q dish of fried
chickenl The tradition Is kept in the
Walker family in Virginia.
In 1871 the Virginia Legislature ad-
journed from Richmond 10 Charlottes-
vile. The British Gen. Tarleton started
TO capture it with a large forceo Of cavalry
and infantry. He stopped for breakfast
at the plantation Of DR.. Joseph Walker,
distant twenty miles from CharIottes-
vile. Rations were distributed among
the men. and the cook made haste to
prepare a real Virginia breakfast for the
general and his staff.
Meantime a messenger from the VIII
age rode on in hot haste to warn the
legislature and Thomas jefferson, then
governor of Virginia, who was at his
home at Monticello. outside of Charlottes-
vile.
Twice the cook prepared a delicious
dish of fried chicken and cream gravy,
and twice, when her back was turned,
some of the hungry British soldiers
dashed into the kitchen and carried il
off. Tarleton was also hungry, and
enraged at the delay, which the host ex-
planned, and told the general that what
there was of the meal could be served at
once IL he desired it. But il he wished
to have chicken he must set a ~corporal's
guard to protect the cook"
Tarleton was a glutton. He hesitated
a moment. and said, II will wait for the
chicken. Adjutant, set a guard over
those rascally thieves!'
The guard was set, the chickens were
cooked and eaten. But the delay en-
abled the messenger to reach Charlotte@-
vile and give the alarm. Mr.. Jefferson
and the Legislature escaped from the
own before Tarleton with his troops
entered it. Their capture would have
been a stunning blow to the fortunes of
the young republic. - Youths Com

This country has done lis part in fur

formidable brute that walks the surface

Alaskan Alps indicate that America a
even broken its own record.
Two miners, who had set out from
Yakutat to prospect the foothills OF Mt
st. Elias. were crossing a valley densely
wooded with yellow cedar. fir and hem
lock. on the southeasterly side of the
mountain. and had sat down a few min
utes To rest on IN immense log, when
they heard a slight noise at n end Of
Ii, followed by a loud sniff.
CHANGING in that direction, they saw an
animal resembling a bear in size and
other respects. save that the head seemed
rather broader, and the color. at a dis
lance of a dozen yards, vas that Of q
silver gray fox or a brindled wolf. Three
or four slugs delivered in quick success
sion from a Winchester, in the hands Of
one of the miners, laid the animal life
less in the thick, soft moss beside the
huge log.
In all generic particulars the creature
was her found to be q bear. but his pei
lage was made up of a thick undercoat
Of fur of a slate gray color. out Of which
grew a second coat of longer. coarser
hair, both black and white, giving the
beast its peculiar bright gray and brin-
died .ints.
The skin seemed u be so fine that the
men took it off, and on their return trip
two days later carried it TO Yakutat. II
proved to be a considerable prize, for a
trader offered them $50 for it. In an ad.
joining Indian village they saw a similar
skin. for which the natives had refused
500, which was used as a hunters tails
man. A chief had killed the animal.
The trader told the two miners that
hides of this bear were only occasionally
brought in by the native hunters. and that
he had never heard Of them elsewhere.
Several other furriers confirmed the
statement that this species Of the genus
ursa is peculiar to the foothills and val
leys of the ST. Elias range. Ii is distin-
guished at Yakutat by the hunters and
trappers of that region from the black
and grizzly by the name of the st. Elias
bear.-Sitka Alaskan.

Rarloon Race m a STORM.

A balloon race took place in Belgium
recently over q course between Brussels
and the town of Diest. Twenty balloons
were entered for the race; thirteen start
ed. The largest balloon, guided by NJ.
GODDARD, had a capacity Of 1000 cubic
meters. The other twelve balloons had
capacities ranging between 800 and 800
cubic meters each. The u sailed
away from Brussels ut 4 O'Clock in the
afternoon. Shortly after all had disap-
peared from the view Of the thousands
who had gathered to see the start, a ire
mendous storm swept across their course.
The greatest anxiety was felt for the
safety of the aeronauts, and the women
and children who had gone up with
them, and kilograms of inquiry were
sent out all over the country from Brns-
sells. Early In the evening, however,
dispatches announced that all the aero
nauts had landed their balloons with all
their passengers unhurt. although some
Of them had had a pretty hard tussle
with the storm. Not a single balloon
reached its destination in Diest. Capt.
Portet won the first prize! He arrived
at Waenrode. near Diest, at 6 o'clock, in
his balloon Pro Patria, which has a capac-
ity of $50 cubic meters. NJ. GODDARD. with
his big balloon, took the second prize.
NJ. vuaquin. with his balloon Tricolor,
Of 800 cubic meters capacity, received
the third prize. The prizes were given
by the city Of Brussels.-New York Press.
