Some Great London Holiday Resorts A Day at Tipping Forest-The An- cient Royal Hunting.GrOundsN Now
 Forever Free to the People-Lon- don East Enders and Their Manner
 of Enjoyment at This Greatest
 Worlds Holiday Resort-Complexi- ty, Irrepressibility and Vastness of the Crowds-Historic Memories.
 LONDON, Aug. 5. To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 My first visit to EppIng Forest, proba- ply the greatest holiday resort in the world, was made in 6 costermopger's cart in which I held proprietary interest. I had been for some weeks plying the subtle arts of the coster with my good coster friends, Slumpsy Jem and his wife Becky, and, I am proud to say, with excellent financial success. We had fought our way from oosser poverty and iguominy to coster sfauence and aristocraoy by com mercially wise distribution of vegetables, fish. flesh and fowl, and were now in a way to enjoy the fruits of sobriety, dili- gence and thrift in e well-earned day of recreation and rest, without the grim out look beyond of remore trampling with Its steely strides on the heels of ill-oonsid- cred joy.
 Nothing could have been oompleter or more tidy than our preparations for the pleasant event at one hsbitation in Bell Lane. Jsm washed, oiled and polished our cart, rubbed the rusty ooronets of our seoond-h hand harness and groomsd our spirited donkey, "Bolivar," until, as Jem justly remarked, "'r'll make their heyes ache to hobserve this ere turn out, bli me, so it will. A bloomin' wicount couldn't match this go, no fear" Becky had hel hands and heart full in arranging her owr "get up," whose observable componeni parts comprised high hseled shoes, a sec ond-hand velvet gown which originally never graced less than the form of ooun 1 tess or singer in "the 'alls," and masset forest of huge, waving ostrich plume above her richly oiled and clouted bang of eide and front hair; while my own i'm mediate assignment of duty was to i'll tn hampers against that delicious hunge which comes to all city folk from day O pleasure in the woods and fields.
 had what Jem called "a bloomin car ty blanchy," and used 1t. Two of ou largest coster baskets were our hampers In these I had slowed meal which Beck insisted was eft for her majesty, Quee , Victoriey, at Hascott." There were juic , slices of cold roast beef and joint ( . mutton I had found st @ snug publi house in the Strand; quarts of shrimps { sweet and pink as new baby's finger tip t dozens of sandwiches hiding lovely slio, F of tongue; tender mackerel had myse z Rrilled to 8 crisp as brown as fros touched maple-leaf; Roquefort ohee s "w'ioh," as Jem truly said, made Che - dar turn green with envy;" shallows ].

FASHION NOTES.

Fall Hats to Be Much Cut UP.
 To e man the feature of this picture which will prove attractive is the face be- low the hat, while woman will be sure to be interested in the hat itself. Since beautiful face which is in sight does not need any description to add to the obser- ver's enjoyment, the mon must be con- tent, and the hat only will receive descrip- tive attention. It is of black chip and the brim is elashed in front to form sharp points that are bent over toward the crown. The latter is two inches high, while the brim ia front measures eight inches and in the back two and quarter inches. The hat is trimmed with g scarf of black tulle seven and half inches wide, having white, edge and white ap pliqus lace howers forming four loops Two of these stand upright, stifened witt

A PLANT AND ITS GROWTH.

A PLANT AND 1I8 hbO " THs
 People learn a great deal from the copy books of their youth. For instance, they learn, by writing it, a few hundred times. that Honesty is the best policy" that Crime and Tide wait for no man," that "Virtus is its own reward," etc., etc. Such state- ments are 80 definite and undisputed that the youthful mind accepts them all as ab- solute truth and if in later years any req son to question any of them appears 1t seems almost sacrilegtous to do 1t. A man hesitates to speak against any of them just as he does against the nasty old oaken bucket that hung in the we'll.
 One of the most impressive of the "copies" in the writing books of thirty years ago was: "Confdence Is plant of slow growth" Many people have written that and accepted it as solid and un- shakeable statement of simple fact while writing 1t. But it is like many of the old 'soopies." It will bear examination. In times like these it can be seen that the rate of growth of confidence depsnds, and that 1t is not always trus to say that con- fdenoe is a plant of slow growth. The fact Is that in good times there is nothing that grows more rapidly than confidence. In such times confidence grows like Kan | sas corn, or like weeds in an onion bad. It will grow with the slightest encourage ment, or even with no encouragement. II will seek opportunities to grow. Ii | is in such times that the skilled tillers of | financial fields use their knowledge oi the gro owing quality of confidence. They prepare places for it to grow in. They plant it. They cultivate it. They sit or the fence and laugh to see 1t thrive ane wax great under the genial influence of thu sun of prosperity and their own exeellsn schemes of irrigation. They encourage il to grow until it is fully ripe and then the! do their harvesting. Then confidence find out, even as the fat turkey doth a Thanksgiving, that it is not profitable tt grow and flourish too much.
 After confidence has had period o rapid growth and been cut down and oss into ths oven or the threshing machine, O whatever will hurt the most. 1t then show itself to be plant of slow growth and act just ss the old copy books said 1t did. l is thus acting now, and the indications ar that it will bs good while before tn confidence cultivators will have anothe big crop. But they need not despair. will come, and that which has been wi k be. It will not be 50 very long befo, there arc new Cordages, new Northern P. cifics, etc., and a great and dourishin and rapid growth of confidence. Meal
 while we move that the makers of cop books be instructed to leave that particul'
 "copy" out of thsir books hereafter. It
 at best only half true and the half tn
 isn't true is by far the biggest half,
 O'Brien might say. If they must say an
 thing about confidence they can gay tn
 "Confdence is @ plant" and let it go

 to ask what kind of plant confidence

PROMISING PLAN.


 Mayer Sargent's plan to get some money for the use of the city and st the same time give people of small means an oppor- tunity to make safe loan is a good one. It will make him good deal of work, but as he is never happier than when busy mo- body need object to it on that ground. He is probably right in thinking that one re- suit of the plan will be to draw out hoard ed money which will help improve the sit uation. The experiment will be very in- teresting one, whatever It's results. If it works we'll it will be good stroke for the mayor, for the city and for the people who lend the money.

 A. T. Stewart knew how to do business, and 1t is remembered that one of the secrets of his great success was that when ever times were hard and business was dull he doubled and trebled his advertis- ing. He reasoned that there were thous- sands of people who had money to spare for real bargains, and shat he had but to convince them that they could find them at his store, and their money would be forthcoming.
 The modern wonder workers are not easily daunted. To out track through the high and precipitous mountains of north Queenaland the men are obliged to be hung in chains, and, notwithstanding this precaution, about fifty have lost their lives by losing their footing and being dashed down 1000 feet into the chasms be- low. Twice the attempt to form this road way has all but been abandoned, but the contractors, with characteristic pluck, have addressed themselves to the work again. -
 It is announced that an elevation of the sea bed one hundred fathoms would suffice to lay bare the greatest part of the North sea and join England to Denmark, Holland, Belgium and France. A deep channel of water would run down the west coast of Norway, and with this Q majority of the fords would be connected. A great part of the Bay of Biscay would disappear, but Spain and Portugal are but little removed from tho Atlantic depression. The 10O- fathom line approaches very near the west coast, and soundings of 1000 fathoms can be made within twenty miles of Cape St. Vincent, and much greater depths have been sounded at distances but little greater | than this from the western shores of the | Iberian peninsula.
