A few years ago Matthew Arnold,
writing to me on the subject of the
future of education in Australia,
prophesied that the rich class would
send their children to England. Moth
ing of the sort is happening. The
first generation, from which he prob
ably argued, has set no abiding
fashion. Fewer and fewer rich Aus
tralians will be found at Elton and
Rugby and Oxford and Cambridge.

But the average temper of Austria

to get touchy about his nationality
and to resent ''importations" from
foreign" lands, while the rich peo-
pie have not the wits to see the diff
ference between a good education
and bad. Ten years ago England
was spoken of affectionately as the
old country or home. Now it is
home, or, more sarcastically,
"'ome." The inverted commas make
all the difference, and the dropped
"h" contains a class contempt. Nine

Japanese Fads About Flowers.

The Japanese consider it especially
difficult to arrange chrysanthemums,
and seven faults are noted which
must carefully be guarded against in
disposing of large blossoms of this
plant. A blossom must not present
its back in composition, nor yet
turn it's full face to view; the differ
ent flowers must not have stems of
the same length; three must not be
arranged in triangular form, nor
may any number be placed in regu-
lar steplike way; the flowers should
not be hidden by leaves, nor should
a large, open blossom be put near the
base of the composition, and finally
the artist must not fall into the sin of
color sandwiching or placing a bios
som of one color between two others
of another tint. Garden and Forest.

THE STEVENS HOUSE.

But in the lower part of the city,
away from the great thoroughfares,
there are four or five quite large hotels
that are as fixed institutions as any in
the city. These are not fashionable
hotels in the usual acceptation of that
term, but each has fashion of its own
One of them, once in great thorough
fare, but now mere side street by rea-
son of the diversion of traffic by the
building of the Brooklyn bridge, was in
bygone years the stopping place for all
belated Brooklynites and the meeting
place, too, for the shippers in port. In
the days before the war, when the
United States had merchant marine
and the docks about New York We're
crowded with sailing craft flying the
American flag, this old tavern, an inn
posing edifice then to eyes unaccustomed
to modern structures, was crowded with
these old sea dogs, who, while in port at
least, went in for n gay, good time. And
even now there is a suggestion of the
sea in the guests at this hotel, which
rarely has an empty room, winter or
summer, and whose tables are crowded
at breakfast, luncheon and dinner
Another Of the places ! allude to is
just across town from that mentioned,
and close by the Hudson river and in
the neighborhood of the great down
town markets. This place, too, has
distinctive patronage and one that is
never likely to desert so long as the mar
kets stay where they are. In an even
ing in the Office or reading room of this
hotel it would be easy to tell the calling
of almost each man encountered. THIS
man is drover, that butcher, this one
raises vegetables on a large scale in New
Jersey or on Long Island, and so and so
on. Now it must not be understood
that this is pigsty of place, Not at
all. 1t is as clean as soap and water
can make it, and the guests are as par
ticular about their food as men can be.
In their working clothes they look
little rough, it is true, and it is some
thing of shock to sit at the same table
with man wearing Jumper" over
his clothes, but when you see that he is
eating sweetbreads and fresh mush-
rooms this feeling vanishes.

NEW YoRK, March l0.-The Oldest
hotel in New York has just closed its
doors and the building will be torn
down to make room for house for Of
fees. Though this was the oldest hotel
Il allude to the Stevens House in
Broadway-it was only opened as a
hotel fifty years ago and the house itself
erected some twenty-five years earlier
This shows what transition state New
York has passed and is passing through.
The Stevens House was famous in its
day, as it was kept some half century
ago by the first Delnonico, who there
introduced in America what is called
the European plan of hotel keeping
that is, a hotel in which lodging shall be
80 much and meals in accordance with
the amount and quality consumed.
This, by the way, is not the European
plan, but an American adaptation of it.
At this old hotel Jenny Lind was
guest when she gave her great concerts
at Castle Garden, near by. In the old
days, too, it was great resort for poll
ticians, and it is well remembered by
the old timers that Daniel Webster,
whose favorite stopping place was the
Astor House, very often went to the
Stevens House to attend important po-
litical conferences. And to the end the
old hosiery remained gathering place
for politicians.
Whenever one of these down town no.
tells passes away those observers who
look only on the surface and see
only what is happening on the great
arteries of the city tell the same story
of the passing northward of the hotels
Of the metropolis, and predict that in
little while the center around which
these hotels will cluster will be some
where in the neighborhood Of Genital
park. And if only such places be taken
into consideration as those at which
wealth has been Haunted and fashion
been upon review, doubtless these OBJ
servers are right both in statements and
predictions Property on such main
streets as Broadway and Fifth avenue
has become so valuable for office build
ings and other business purposes that it
is no longer profitable to utilize it for
hotel sites, unless hotels can charge prices
that only die rich can pay. The rich
naturally wish to be within the precincts
of fashion, and therefore for such there
are cloud capped palaces upon Fifth
avenue and in the neighborhood thereof.

MURDERED IN VALPARAISO.
A Sailor from an American Vessel-Ai
Investigation Demanded.

Investigation Demanded.
New YORK, March 12.-The Herald's
Valparaiso correspondent says:
Consul McCreery is investigating the
case of Carlos Carlessen, sailor on
board the Edward Kidder, which ar
rived here on Feb. 8 from New York on
the way to Antofagasta.
Carlessen was found early on the
morning of Feb. 81 lying in the Gale
Blanco, suffering from wound in the
abdomen and in stupid state from the
effects of liquor. He was taken to a
hospital, and later in the day declared
that he had been wounded by Valparaiso
policemen and soldiers. The man died
Feb. 81.
The testimony taken by the CHILEAN
authorities is to the effect that a police
man hearing Carlessen's cries for help,
ran to the scene, and was set upon by
three men, clad in citizens clothes, who
knocked him down and kicked him
about the head.
From testimony taken by the judge of
crimes last Tuesday, in the examination
of some sailors of the vessel, with which
Carlessen was connected, it appears that
Carlessen was in low grog shop in the
same district of Valparaiso where most
of the Valparaiso rioting took place. He
was totally incapable from drink of do
ing anything.
Their efforts to get him to leave the
place proving unavailable, they left
Carlessen lying on a bench. They were
gone about ten minutes, searching for a
place to lay their companion, but when
they returned Carlessen had disap-
peared.
Carlessen was a native of Sweden.

One word in regard to the alleged
danger of the fast train. 1t is most
emphatically untrue that it is more
dangerous than other trains. Those
familiar with the subject will agree
that the very reverse is the case. AS
an eminent English authority writes,
"With picked engineers, trainmen
and tiremen, with the best and new
est rolling stock and the most perfect
engines the company possesses, with
every signalman and flagman all
down the line on the qui vive, it is
difficult to see where there comes in
any special source of danger"
And in addition to this, it must be
remembered that fast trains, such as
are now being run on many roads in
this country, would be simply i'm
possible without the vigorous disci-
pline, the constant energy, the keen.
