Almost Ever Part of the World.
People talk about the value of foreign
travel in broaden ng the mind and correct
ing that tone of provincialism which used
to be more common in this country than it
is now. What they say is all very true;
but no one seems to realize that right here
in New York a man may travel among
many foreign peoples, and by so doing
may acquire TINT cosmopolitan outlook
which should distinguish the modern man
of the world. There are for instance, GER
tain localities in he east side which are as
Hebrew as any modern community can be-
Hebrew papers are exposed for sale on the
newsstands. Hebrew shops with Hebrew
signs abound Hebrew restaurants an
nounce the prices for coffee and cakes or
what not in the most approved modern
Hebrew.
A Hebrew playhouse presents Hebrew
dramas i'll the Hebrew tongue. Every
where around you are the evidences of
Semitic life, and rs you behold the strange
manners and customs of these people, in
no respect modified by American civiliza-
ton, it is hard to believe that YOU are in
New York at all and not in some foreign
ghetto" which, maybe, you will spend a
good deal of time and money some day to
visit.
The same thing is largely true of many
other nationalitics and races to be found
in New York, about which the self sutfi
Gent New York provincial is frankly and
contemptuously ignorant. There are, in
deed, frequent general references to these
alien peoples as being in some way a ''rnen-
ace" to our civilization. Their shortcom-
ings, especially the fact that they do not
ut once become Anglo-SaXon Americans,
are often dwelt ON by eloquent preachers
and speakers
But while New Workers are quick to dis
Germ the duty of the alien to New York.
they do not always realize the duty of the
New Yorker to the alien within his gates.
They take no pains to get into sympathy
with him, to understand his point of view
or to help him 10 truer appreciation of
his duty and obligation. Doubtless he is
at fault in segre eating himself in an alien
colony and in pcrpetuating the traditions
and prejudices Of his native land.
But, on the other hand. New Workers
are also at fault when they help to CON
tinue this state If affairs by keeping aloof
from the foreigner, by refusing to learn
anything about him and by making no
effort To bring him into right relations
with our civic life. Most of US fail to real
ize that New York today is not a snug lit
tie community Of English and Dutch peo-
pie, homogeneous in thought and habit.
but great polvglot metropolis, in which
no element of character and no strain of
blood, however humble, can be safely IL
nOred.
New Workers arc justly proud of the in
telhSent interest they take in every corner
of the globe whore men live and think and
act. Is it not high time for them to pay
some attenti,n % their own city. of whose
present condition and future destiny many

Connois.eurs in Perfumes.

The learned il scents claim that they can
distinguish and name each element of any
compound odor, just rs the musician can
discriminate and trace the sound of the
various instruments that are rendering
the crowded symphony. Doubtless these
learned ones could distinguish, on coming
into lady's drawing room. all the various
breaths imprisoned in the pot pourri jar
the rose leaves, the cassia buds, the orange
flowers, the orr.s root, the vanilla, the ben
ZOni and cinnamon and musk and alcoh i,
and all the innJ merable rest. But to the
ignorant in sucl fine points the pleasure is
perhaps just a keen. let the learned DENY
it as they may. Yet many think them
selves accompl. shed in this branch whose
education is still very far from finished.
We remember, at the time of a famous
oriental exhibition in this country, when
people We're pos sessed with the delights of
the altar of roses to be brought there, that
the oriental stock of altar ran out, and it
was replenished from a Yankee dealers
stock of oil of geranium, and the sale con-
tinued just as before, entirely undimin-
ished, and with warm adulation of the
strange, rich sweetness of the real Turkish
and Persian altar of roses. And although
the oil of geraI ium is undoubtedly rich
perfume, yet The crafty orientals must
have laughed N their loose sleeves at the
way in which il took the place of the once
far richer and more delicate, and four times
more costly object of the bulbul's worship

Sponges are found in all parts of the
world. Three hundred different species
are known to naturalists, some of which
are found even on our own coasts The
number of these which have commercial
value is, however, limited. The sponges of
Syria and the Archipelago are the best,
and are used for the toilet aud for delicate
operations in art and industry. The spe-
cies found in the Bahama islands are of
very inferior quality, but their moderate
price has led % their extensive use The
