EYES," said Mr.. Paul Magadieu, II
have returned from trip to France
and have not only had an enjoyable
trip but have greatly improved my
health. My voyage from New York
to Havre was made in the new steam
or "Touraine," 1t was her maiden
trip and she proved to be an excel
lent vessel, making the run in seven
and half days. From Havre L
went to Paris, and after q short stay =:
there 1 went to Metz, the famous fort
ress where BaZaine surrendered to the
time. The eastern part of France and
Rhenish provinces are in bad way.
The wheat crop is failure and the
vines are worse than they have been
for thirty years. Grapes that should
be mature now are no bigger than a
pea. This has been caused by pro-
longed cold and excessive rains.
Why it raiued nearly every
day during the six weeks

lnr66 weeks 10 ulOD III ldGo duu cNcA {
IL fine weather comes now the grow
ers will feel lucky to get half a crop.
The same state of things was OBJ
served at Saarbruck and Verdun.
Paris, of course, was all activity
with business and pleasure,
but it too was infected with
the stagnstion that now is dominant
throughout the world. 1 returned
home on the steamer "Normandie"
and was in the big cyclone off New
York. 1t was an awful and danger
GUS blow and for four hours the
passengers were locked up in
the cabins, but We weathered the
storm well and made the trip from
Havre to New York in eight and q
half days. i am, however, glad to
get home again, for although travel
ing is pleasant and beneficial,
it is fatiguing and tiresome,
and you cannot help missing old
friends" And then he added with
pleasant smile, There's no place
like home"

PERKINS. PRACTICAL JOKER.
n He Doesn't See what He Wants He Asks

For 1t.
Perkins is tall, angular and prac-
tical joker of the severest type. One
of his peculiar plcasantries is to sud-
denly halt a strange pompous individ-
ual on the street. buttonhole him and
remark, with cool assumption:
Il beg your pardon, sir, but think
you have made a mistakeY
"What is that, sir?" the victim is
likely to ask.
-e''Well, Perkins will reply, with the
utmost audacity, ''this city does not be-
long to any one man or set of men.
You may think you own it but you
don't See?" and Perkins will hurry
away, leaving the pompous man to his
own reflections.
Sometimes he varies this interesting
performance in this highly original
fashion: Stepping up to total stran-
ger he will beg for light for his cigar
cite. This trifiing favor having been
extended, he will engage his victim in
conversation for a moment. When an
other stranger appears Perkins halls
him. As he approaches Perkins intro
duces him to the first man.
''Ah, Mr.. Smith, permit me to present
you to my friend, Mr.. Brown. Mr..
Brown, Mr.. Smith
OF course the men shake hands and
Perkins takes his departure, leaving
the strangers to extricate themselves
from their EN- barraSsment as best they
can.
One day Perkins entered small cast
side dry goods store with a friend.
Ranged in front of the counter were
row of stools. Upon these the mon
seated themselves. In a moment
dapper young clerk came up and asked
Perkins what he desired For an in
slant he seemed puzzled for reply,
but soon his eyes rested upon the fa-
miliar sign, ''If you don't see what you
want ask for it," That furnished him
with cue. Ltf ...st
"Well,'' he said, in measured tones,
you can bring me plate of corned
beef hash, nicely Drowned, with two
poached eggs on top; also cup of hot
coffee. What's yours, George?" he
added, turning to his friend.
''Gimme the same" he responded.
All the girls in the store stared hard
at the impudent fellows and the clerks
eyes began to bulge.
Gentlemen, he replied, with a show
of calmness, ''you have made a slight
mistake. This is dry goods store and
not restaurant Do l look like
waiter?" 9
81 am not here to answer questions,
young man." said Perkins, as with his
friend he rose and moved toward the
door, "but if you can't fill orders you'd
better go out of the business or take in
your sign" r1 en
And the jokers vanished out the door.
Perkins is still at large. Y. Herald.

HUMAN "PLUGS."
DR.. j. III. X ellogg Tells Why There Are SO
Many of Them.

DR.. j. II. X ellogg Tells Why There Are so
Many of Them.
Some time ago / was riding after a
very fine horse, really noble animal
/ glanced ahead of me on the street and
saw two or three horses holding their
heads low, poor jaded looking animals
of class called plugs" ! looked be-
hind me, and there were few more
missbapen, ugly, miserable creatures of
the same character, and it occurred to
me that the illustration was not bad of
the condition of the greater part Of the
human race. Most of them are poor,
inefficient creatures who do not know
how to do anything well and who do
not amount to anything. Just few
men control the whole country. A few
who rise above every ybody else and con-
troll money markets and make prices
and run our factories and manage large
corporations. These men have risen
above their fellows, not because they
were originally better endowed than
others, but perhaps they had better
training, or there were accidental con-
ditions that led them out and enabled
them to escape some of the depraved
moral and mental conditions which af-
feet the masses.
The same Is true with regard to
morals, although wrong ideas prevail
in regard to the subject. We imagine
that such and such man is; a genius,
is born extra good or extra smart. This
is true to certain extent, but we might
as well say of another man that he was
born extra bad or extra shiftless. The
fact is both these classes are mauuf act
ured. One man is ex ira good because
he has had a chance for extra training.
Another is in perfect health because he
has been taught to obey the laws of
health. Another rises to eminencc
in business affairs and overcomes
mighty obstacles, but the difference in
the birth between these is not so great
as the difference in the training. In
the majority of cases you will find that
the extra good man had an extra good
mother, who trained and brought him
up in the way he should go, and the
extra bad man is the one without par
entail training, or else the mother or
the father or both were Indifferent to
their responsibilities. Good boys are
made and bad boys are made, just as
much as the clothes they wear.-From
