tai line. It is waiting for mails to start for India through the Suez canal. On the forward deck are lots of East Indian sail ors. Professor Marsh should be here to see their antics; for they are much more like monkeys than human beings in their movements. They crouch and huddle. then jump away and huddle again just like monkeys in a cage. One has just taken of his shirt and backs up to 8 fellow to be scratched: He scratches him all along the spine to the evident intense delight of the scratchee, who squirms his fingers and toes in ecstscy. It wouldn't do to report all their doings, though they are making even this town interesting. They will roll themselves up in any corner and sleep, and then suddenly unroll and twist like ir- ritated angle worms. Their favorite rest seems to be squatting on their launches with their chins on their knees and their hands about their ankles, just like chim- panzees. They are darker than I sup- posed; have straight hair and fine features; small legs and shriveled bodies. They look as if for centuries they had been go- ing down instead of going up; receding instead of progressing. They are all dressed alike; blue blouses and white drawers; red turbans and red kerchiefs about their waists. What can Christisni- ty do-what has 1t done-for such peoplel The imprint of degeneracy Is as strong on them as it is on Brindisi.
 But where did I leave youi At the Trois Rois at Bale, or Basic. ss believe we An glo-Saxons must spell it. Don't be near Lucerne without stopping over at least spot in all Europe, and no hotel is better kept than the Schweitzerhoff. It is the model hotel of the continent. Americans will mics the genial host. Poor old Hau- ser died few months ago, going away suddenly without catch or pain From Lucerne over, and through, the Alps is the finest journey in all Europe. and the railroad provisions for enjoying it are the very best. No wonder Mount Senis is los ing and the St. Gothard gaining all the while. Through the tunnel itself took ex- actly nineteen minutes and nine seconds, and you emerged as clean as you went in. Milan is precisely as it was ten years sgo. Where the stucco ceiling of its ca- thedrsl needed repair it still needs it. The guides at the Brera are as officious and as impsrtinent as ever. The women are just as pretty. but no prettier. The women of Milan and Bolognia all look alike. That is those of them who have good looks enough with which to look alike. They all have dark hair and dark eyes; low foreheads and straight eye brows coming rather close together; straight noses with fine nostrils, perhaps little too strongly marked at the cor ners, giving the nose @ bit of an artifi- cial look as if it were put on; thin lips; mouths rather broad, very broad in smil- ing; very fine chins. Noble faces which could easily express any emotion; rather expreesionless in repose. No germ of the intellectual expression which is so necessary to give beauty to maturity and age, and in which the ladies of New Hs- ven, and especially of Prospect street. excel all the ladies of the universe. Here's an Easter greeting to every one of them.
 Bolognia has never been finished. It is hardly fair to judge of it until fin ished. There are any number of towers, churches, palaces and things awaiting the advent of an American millionaire to fin ish them. He would cover himself with glory and be made the patron saint of the town. What nObler duty for a Vanderbilti The cathedral itself has only its nave back to the transepts. There it abruptly stops. When finished according to tine original plan it will be the largest church in Christendom. The Asinelle and the Garisenda towers are still as they were thirty years ago. There are palaces in all stages of construction, showing the respec- tive periods st which misfortune overlook their builders. Bolognis is 8 fine town with lots of go to it. Many of the men are superb specimens, big fellows with fine heads and gritty features. The troops ps- raded with a band full of buglers, and nothing bnt buglers. Splendid troops. Such quick action and dashing movement cannot be seen either in Paris or Berlin
