ENCLISHMEN IN NEW YORK.


Obliged to Leave the Continen on Ac-
count OF Americans.
The English colony in New York is
largely made up OF young men OF cul-
turcd, leisurely habits, with epicurean
appetites and plebeian incomes. They
are for the most part younger sons
of good education and no calling or
profession. In almost every case in
quiry ELECTS the fact that they are
pensioners on home bounty. They are
living on limited allOwances-just
enough to encourage responsibility
such allowances being apparently doled
out with the view to sustaining life
without leaving margin enough for
dissipation or return ticket. In fact
in many instances, the allowance is
made conditional ON remaining abroad.
II they should violate this condition it
is work or starve. Under the circum-
stances. it would seem that a CONT
mental life would DO preferable. in
view of its cheapness. but these young
men prefer America Americans
are kinder to Englishmen, says one
OF these young men. than the people
OF continental Europe. We have
worked that section OF the earth a trife
threadbare. They do not like us.
When it comes to India, Australia.
Canada or any Of the English colonial
possessions. we prefer the United
States. 1t costs more to live here,
but the life is worth living. Society
receives us whether we have money
or not. In London I would be an Office
drudge and limited to boarding house
society. Here a well-educated, agree
able English gentleman is we'll thought
OF. and can dine at the expense OF
somebody else good deal of the time.

sex now in this city. says New York
exchange. ..You know there are no
distinctive resorts for English people
abroad" she said. I'VE used to go to
Scotland. but the rich Americans over
ran the country and gobbled up every
available estate. Then we tried
Brighton. but. bless you the hotel
people there will not look at an Eng
lishman where he conflicts with an
American. They next drove us out OF
every fashionable resort on the conti-
nent lastly the Riviera, our special
stronghold.
We have no longer the exclusive
/, social sway anywhere outside of Eng
land. 1t used to be that the Swiss
and German watering-place hotels
were run chiefly in the interest OF the
English traveller. Now the American
has it all his own way. There are
now more Americans living in villas
about Florence. Como, Rome, Dresden.
Lucerne and the German spas than
Englishmen. Even Paris is getting to
be dominated by the stars and stripes.
What are we going to do?" Come

.wilheln,s shruaken Arm.

An American who saw the German
emperor with the other royal person
ages at the Covent Garden opera
house. writes: II was wholly aware
OF the unfortunate defect in tho
kaiser's left arm. knew that it was
incapable OF movement except by lift
ing with the right arm. that the en-

spectacle OF that helpless. withered

seemed to stand still for ono moment

Doosblaclklng A. An Art.

On q street corner on the upper part
OF Sixth avenue is b0Otblack stand
presided over by middle-aged darkey
named Joe. whose odd ways have Sc
cured for him a number of lucrative
customers says the New York Tele-
gram. He firmly believes that shoe
polishing has high rank among the
arts and sciences. and regrets that
among the hundreds of bootblacks to
be found in the city, so few attain the
skill and knowledge OF the business.
which. with due modesty, he claims to
possess. 1t Is amusing to watch him
in his efforts to impress q new custom
er with the importance Of his profess
sion and the profundity Of his knowl-
edge and experience in it.
Joe first rubs the shoes Of the Gus
toner for several minutes with his
hand In a solemn way, occasionally
stopping to examine them closely with
a critical eye. This naturally excites
the curiosity of the owner Of the shoes,
and then Joe explains In a confidential
tone that in order to give perfect
polish the quality and condition OF the
leather must be thoroughly known.
He then pulls out from the under part
Of the stand large drawer filed with
dozens of brushes. from among which
he carefully selects one. As he passes
his hand over the face of the brush the
conceited old bootblack glances at the
shoes of the customer. as though de-
termining whether that particular
brush is best suited to the grain OF the
leather to be operated upon. A SINH
lar performance Is gone through with
in choosing the backing to be used on
the occasion. Joe then goes to work
and polishes the shoes In question
with many q mysterious flourish and
cabalistic curve. When he finishes il
is worth the price to see his evident
admiration OF his own handiwOrk.

year 1889 Elector Henry. of Braun

before him to which<he referred every

of the viands prepared for the occa,

If we take any moderately large in.
sect, say wasp or hornet. we can
see. even with the naked eye, that
series of small. spot-like marks run
along the side OF the body. These
apparent spots. which are Is or 20 in
number, are. in fact the aperatures
through which air is admitted into the
system, and are generally formed in
such manner that no extraneous
matter can by any possibility find en-
trance. Sometimes they are furnished
with pair OF horny caps. which can
be opened and closed at the will OF
the insect; in other cases they are
densely fringed with stiff, interlacing
bristles forming filter which allows
air. and air alone. to pass; but the
apparatus, of whatever character it
may be. is SO wonderfully perfect in
It's actions that it has been found i'm
possible to injure the body of dead
insect with even so subtle a medium
as spirits of wine, although the sub
ject was first immersed in the fluid
and then placed beneath the receiver
Of an air pump. The aperatures in
question communicate with two large
breathing tubes. which extend through
the entire length of the body. From
these main tubes are given off innu-
merable branches which run in all
directions and continually divide and
subdivide. until a wonderfully intri-
cate network is formed. pervading
every part OF the structure and pens-
trating even to the autennH.
