refused and started to leave the room,
he said: All right, if you don't want
to. American girls do not usually object
"When l related this to my landlady,
the pious creature who advised against
the red feather, she said: You need not
mind that. He is very renowned man.
People come from all over Europe to con-
suit him. A kiss from him would not be
as bad as from an ordinary man. and she
could not understand why would rather
have trouble with my eyes than 90 near
the doctor again.
GAS to the kind of food and lodging a
girl may get, the table is inadequate to
her needs and the room insufticiently
heated and cleaned. / was often both
hungry and cold, and was generally dis
gusted with my dirty surroundings"
What does girl get who exchanges the
luxuries and safeguards of her American
home for such conditions as these2
She must remain abroad longer than a
few months in order TO acquire a new
language well enough to understand the
literature of the country. She may speak
a dozen sentences glibly. But let her take
the great Faust" of Goethe, and see if
she can read page without her diction-
airy. If not, does she know German3 If
she does, and this is the result of any
ones observation she loses somewhat of
her own mother tongue. She makes
blunders in grammar, arranges her SEN
fences after German order, and hesitates
for the right word. Five or six years res
idence in Germany will make foreigner
of her. She is denationalized also in her
habits and sympathieS. She likes olee
and rolls for breakfast served in her bed
room. She patronizes the old folks with
a superior air, deprecating everything
American, from soups to oil paintings
and from her mothers sewing society to
the Apostles Greed. She may be pol
ished, like the cold, hard surface of
mirror but the bloom of her girlhood, her
modesty, possibly her faith in God, are
dimmed.
All that has been here said applies with
still greater force to the custom OF send
ing young children abroad and consider
ing t.em safe and blessed, once placed in
German family and entered in the gym
nasium. Happily, such grave error is
not often, in these days, committed.
Those who must stay at home are not so
poorly off. The German and French pro-
fessors are at our very doors. Musical
advantages of New York and Boston are
scarcely inferior to those of Berlin, and
the cost is not much greater. Language
classes are common. Let it only be recog-
nized that education and accomplishments
are not everything. "a thorough CONT
mental training is secondary in import
ance to loyalty TO our country, sympathy
with her institutions, and an appreciation
of the American idea"
II the girls are going abroad. let them
finish" their education here, and wait
till they are well out Of their teens before
they go. Then send them well and
properly chaperoned.

IN the midst of a contest growing out of

REID, DEPEW AND THE ARCHBISHOP.
It is little known fact in New York
tnat Whlteldw Reid and Archbishop Cor
rlgan are very warm friends. The two
dine together very often, and it is whis-
pered that one recent conversation of
tnelr's would make veryi interesting read
ing winch seems surprising, for the gen.
tleman now spreading that rumor could
nave got his impression only by listening
through keyhole, since the archbishop
OF New Yorkand Whitelaw Reid nearly
always dine alone together. Now the
same gentleman who spreads the rumor
couples IL with story TO the effect
that the criticisms of Chauncey
M. Depew for having committed
the crime Of revealing what the pope said
10 him at certain interview in Rome ema-
mates from person who much dislikes
Archbishop Corrigan, and therefore was
angered that Mr.. Depew should have told
the pope how beloved and reYered in New
York Archbishop Corrigan is. The gen.
tleman goes to the length of declaring
SAtetS nj 4CCpCW IdDtdlCu 10 Lu6
bishop before he went to Europe exactly
what he was going to say to theapopa for
the purpose of showing his holiness how
mistaken were those persons who have
said that the arch bishop is not popular
Another rumor from the same source is
that the archbishop is much incensed
against certain Tammany men who have
affected to consoles that they had a mort
agage upon the prelate. in truth, the flot-
sam and iatSam of orOssif1 in tho connection
Is astonishing.
VANDERBILT's DRESS SUIT.
Those whose impressions of Cornelius
Vanderbilt are derived from the news of
the approaching occupancy of his new
palace and of the change in his method of
wearing his dress suit-that is, with a
white waistcoat and tie instead of the
black he INDUCED in when his mourning
was at its hight-would be surprised to
see him conversing with the engineers of
his great railroad. He is personally &C
quainted with more of the workingmen he
employs than are most of the men
who give work to large num-
bers of men. Before his recent af-
fiction he was frequently seen along the
line of the road, and the men knew him
well. He is neither standof1sh nor IA
miliar, but calmly affable. OF all the
Vanderbilts he is the most democratic,
for he Is acquainted personally with num-
bers of brakemen and trainmen. He has
habit of asking the opinions of his men
on railroad matters and of arguing points
of railroad detail with them, as Frederick
the Great consulted the privates of his
regiments on sentry duty.
Whether it is that the new palace or
the bother over that new dress suit of his
have kept him too much occupied of late.
it seems that Cornelius Vanderbilt has
not been very familiar figurge to the
trainmen recently. And this they regret
for to know personally the president of
the road you are employed by is dis
tinction. DAVID WECHsLER.

Belief in Rat Charms.
From Sunday Magazine.

1t is curious sact that. as late as forty
years ago, there existed indeed, there
may still exist-among the good people Of
Cavan and Tyrone belief that rats NAV
be charmed away by rhymes and other
magical means. One Of my acquaintance
was told by an Irishman of a case Of
"billeeing' rats, that is, of clearing them
out of one place and lodging them in
another. No pipe was played indeed,
the method was mysi cry; but the rats
came tocking out of mill and granary an
hour before midnight and moved away
in compact mass to their newly ap-
pointed lodgings. 1t was a brilliant
moonlight night, and scores of people be-
sides the narrator followed them as they
trooped down the roads and through a
sleeping village TO their destination.

Roughly speaking, burglars practice

by burglar who was detected under Il
bed in public house before closing
time.
Burglaries committed after 8 o'clock
incur Il heavier penalty than house
breaking achieved before that hour.
For this and other reasons the time OF
dinner is usually selected for the loot
ing Of large establishment. This has
only one drawback. 1t leaves little
time for exploration, and the burglar
must be we'll acquainted with the in
terror of the house. In this connection
women play an important and usually
an unconscious part.

An Electric Watch Stand.


The electric watch stand, which is
now being freely advertised both here
and in Europe owes its invention at all
events directly to a woman. A vener-
able professor, well known in electri-
cal circles, was wont to slumber much
more soundly than his wife, who was
nervously anxious to know the time at
frequent periods throughout the long
winter nights. Each time, of course, it
devolved on the professor to find out.
He bore the infliction with exemplary
patience. but began to think hard
whether there was not some better
way. He presently had a tiny incan-
descent lamp made, and this he fixed to
the watch stand on the mantel piece in
such way that its rays would fall full
Oh the watch on the pressure of knob
at the bed head, and the light was so
bright that there was no difficulty in
telling the time even at that distance.
1t is needless to say that the push but
ton was put on the lady's side Of the
bed, and the professor slumbercd there
after in peace. This idea is now large
ly utilized and neat watch stands are
now turned out. finished in nickel-plate
and fitted with dry cells, and an incan-
descent lamp in front. A supply of silk
covered flexible wire cord is given with
each stand, and at the end is a handle
containing push button, which can be
placed in any convenient position, so
that a person in bed can Immediately
bring the face Of the watch or clock
into bright relief by simple pressure of
the button. The dry cells are said to
run about year, and when necessary
they can be rechargcd at nominal
cost.
