The Face That Attracts.

A clever Boston author, with whom Arlo
Bates talked about the artists festival, to
which all the world went in costume of the
time of the renaissance, remarked that 1t
was impossible to get over the habit OF
looking at the faces of the persons present
and of neglecting to examine their costume
unless with an effort to turn the attention.
ut is simply because we are SO accus-
toned to finding the costume, and especial
ly the costume of men, so uninteresting that
we never think of looking at it," one re-
marked ~ am not sure" the author re-
turned, ''that It doesn't go a good deal
deeper than that. and that there Is not a
profound psychological reason there. The
face is the thing which expresses the mind,
and the whole tendency of civilization is
toward the keener appreciation of the men
tai side of being.
"We have suppressed costume In man be-
cause we are more interested In his face,
and we do not care to be distracted from 1t.
That Is only one phase of the process OF
evolving the appreciation OF the mental.
We do not, as a matter of fact, care for
clothes in this age-I mean as race. There
are Of course exceptions, and there is still
personal vanity, as there always must be
1t is possible to get up this sort of show,
not because anybody Is greatly interested
In the costume of others, but because each
is willing to admire himself and to allow
others to admire him."

Americans fail to realize that Europeans
recognize no social or class distinction in
this country. Our people know that this
is a republic. that it has been republic
for more than a century and that the prin-
cipal doctrine upon which the entire nation
al fabric is founded is that of universal
equality. They cannot, therefore, under
stand that there should be any kind Of class
distinction or gradations of society. In
their eyes all Americans are equal, and the
question as to what coterie or clique their
American acquaintance belong to in this
country weighs but very little with the
grand monde in Europe. 1t is utterly i'm
material to them whether their American
acquaintance has ever had grandfather or
not, or If he had, who his grandfather was.
They do not care one brass farthing whether
he or she happens to be "born million
aire," a made millionaire" and they
take their American friends purely and en-
tirely OH their individual merits, altogether
irrespective of the social status and pres
tige they may enjoy on this side of the At
lantic.
But once an American has succeeded in
getting himself accepted by the best Euro
pean society his position is really a most
delightful one, since he is regarded as be
yond the pale of class distinction and is al
lowed freedom and latitude which
would never be accorded to any native, nc
matter how high his or her rank. Not
withstanding all that is claimed to the
contrary, there are relatively very few
Americans who may really be said to have
penetrated the inner circles of European
society.-Vogue

As Alexandra Dumas had dined with
state minister, somebody asked him If he
had enjoyed himself. He replied, "If it had
not been for me, would have been bored"
Dumas was in the habit of giving Q
francs to a beggar whenever he met him.
Once he had only cents, which he gave.
"Oh, Mr.. Dumasl' exclaimed the beggar
reprovingly. "Give them to beggar," he
replied.

A distinguished Englishman, the Duke

despairing eloquence. Time passed and
brought nothing. A long time afterward
Boyer, whom Arsene Houssaye had taken
out of trouble, met Feuillet on the boule-
ward. You know" he said, II never re

The recent disbandment OF several
companies of Indians, who had been
enlisted as soldiers in Uncle Sans
army, seems to have been due more to
the difficulty OF finding recruits than
to any real opposition among officers
to the employment of the red man IN
the ranks. The Indian himself does
not take kindly to the restraints OF
discipline, and misses the freedom OF
bis rowing life; hence, he will no
longer enlist, but while he is in the
Governments service he appears to
discharge his duties as well as can be
axnacted from him. He does not ike
the routine of drill, and he cannot be
depended on to stand in line of battle,
but he makes a good scout and sklrm-
isher-in short, he shows all the weak
nesses and virtues of the savage. The
great argument in favor OF taking HIM
into the regular army is still as strong
as it ever was, the experiment with
him not having weakened it in the
least. It is cheaper to pay him for
being on good terms with us than to
Aoht him, and, even if he will not take
kindly to rules and regulations he is
onre TO become more tractable being
by subjecting himself to them even
imperfectly.

TREASURY BALANCES.
No Necessity for an Issue of Bonds AT
Present Indicated.

The receipts of the government thus far
this month have been more than sLOOO,OOO
and as this period includes Sunday and cleo
ton day, which was legal holiday III New
York state, there is reason to hope that the
receipts for the month will be at least four
times this amount.
There has been n little running behind In
the cash balance thus far, because S3,9OO, 900
has been drawn for PENSIONS but an increase
in the net balance is expected before the close
OF the month
A part OF the interest payments were not
made last month and have yet to be deducted
from the available cash, but with increased
rercjpts from both customs and duties and
internal revenue taxes 1t Is believed they can
be met without net loss.
The gold reserve increased slightly, ana 1t
is believed that there will be no difficulty In
building it up il there is an adequate cash
balance in the treasury. There Is no DISPOSE
ton to issue bonds at present and no such Is
sue is thought to be necessary before the
meeting OF Congress, when the views OF the
President will be fully set forth In his mes
sage.

The theory that times of depression
in business are peculiarly favorable to
religious development, has some justi-
fication in experience, concludes the
San Francisco Argonaut. But, on
the other hand, there are more suicides
in hard times than at any other. Sta
tistics show that there has been a
noticeable increase in suicides in New
York City during the last month, the
aggregate being thirtyfour against
twenty-five for the same period during
the previous year. The statistics are
suggestive, but hardly conclusive
The suicidal tendency is certainly
growing; but it derives its stimulus
rather from what may be called fixed
conditions of our life than from tenn
porary and exceptional indictments.

Life on q Light Ship.

Talk about vessel rolling and
pitching! No vessel rolls, pitches and
piunges like light ship. IT'S anchors
hold it firm to the shock Of the waves.
There is no yielding, nograceful sway
ing to the swelling Of the seas. There
are days, too, when fierce fog horn
torments the ear with noise such -
Nature in her angriest moods never
invented. There Is always glare OF
light at night. There is no constant
expectation of reaching port, and life
soon becomes adreary monotony.
In case the light ship should be cast
adrift, it has been fitted with sails
which will enable it to hold its own In
storm and stress. The hold is fitted
with spacious store rooms and aleep-
ing quarters, and a machine for oom-
pressing the air which blows the fog
horn. These fog horns are what are
known in this country as "siren"
whistles. They are called sirens prob
ably because that is what they least
resemble. They begin their noise
with very low note, and rise rapidly
in aiding scale to very thin note
that distresses the ear. Then they de-
scend to the low note, and up and
down in rapid succession the shriekins
demonlike noises race. One French
writer has said that the possibilities al
this fog horn are such that he wonders
that some music leader has not intro
duced it into the orchestra when ths
Wagner operas are played A com
pressed air trumpet, he thinks-and it
is just possible that there may be
little National prejudice in his opin-
ion-would go we'll with mythologiosl
characters and dragons and unearthly
storms and noises. The writer says
the fog horn is simply terrible in.
strument," and therefore in time the
Wagnerians must adopt it. A big bell
is placed on the ship for use in case
the fog horn should break down or
scare itself useless -Harpers Young

The New York World observes

The New York World observes: We
are apt to imagine that America is the
land of progress and Asia the land of
regress. This is doubtless true, as a
rule, but every now and then we are
startled to find that the Mongollans
have ideas also and sometimes act
upon them. This statement is borne
out by recent report made to the
Japanese Government on the state Of
agriculture in that country, and advo-
eating, among other things, the es-
tah3ishment of agricultural insurance.
Mutual insurance-that is, ga fellow
ship, the single members of which are
all insured by that same fellowship
is also advocated. The report shows
that the Japanese are wide awake
