In spite of the fog, frequent rain and re-
markable uncertainty Of climate, out Of
door amuscments are exceedingly popular
in England. Tho English spend large
proportion Of their sunny summer days in
boating, picnicliing, making excursions to
points Of interest and attending or giving
lawn parties. 1t seems rather odd that
Americans, who have In general a far
brighter and moro dependable climate to
count upon, do not take more kindly to
open air diversions. They play tennis, to
be sure, but that Is almost the only out of
door recreation in which they indulge as q
class.

country, which is yet in its childhood,
should have lost the primeval desire for
sylvan surroundings which is still felt in
all its f6rco by nations hoary with antiqui-
ty. Tho shopgirls of Paris spend their
weekly holiday in the suburbs, whcrc they
can sec green fields and drink their thin
wine under lcafy lattice, but American
men and women Of tho Same class rush to
the most crowded thoroughfarcs Of the
city on Sunday to find their recreation and
enjoyment. When they enter the public
parks, they throng tho edges Of the drives
and swell tho crowd in the main paths,
ignoring the small green alleys and leafy
hooks within their reach. 1t is not % de-
sire for out Of doors that inspires them,
but craving to bo part of the jostling
mass Of humanity for which there is not
room under cover
1t Is the same with the wealthier class
es. Tho most crowded mountain and sea-
sidc caravansarics are the most attractive
to the summer visitant. Except for the
daily sea bath or sentimental sunset roll,
the guests spend their days in dawdling
about the vcrandas or billiard rooms and
their nights in dancing in ovcrheatcd halls.
They do thoso things better in Franco.

spond to the welcome home as every
true man loves to respond with some
new comfort for those he loves. He
would come home with good tidings for
Christmas; for the jolly Samaritan had
sold enough in our car to insure his
hopes.
But here comes RUDE, returning from
his labors with an empty basket and
but two volumes of the disreputable
literature which forms the bulk of sup
ply for the tra;nboy-''The Mistakes Of
Noses" and Nance" There is smile
lurking beneath his mustache-I can
detect it by the dimples in each cheek
and there is sunshine in his eyes.
Six feet of you, RUDE, and every inch
of you a man! would like to shake
hands with you, old fellow, for there is
a big heart humping under your vest;
heart in proportion to your great
body. No doubt you are sinner, RUDE

but you are saint on this Christmas
eve. People disposed to be critical may
deplore your lack of dignity and the
cynical may say you have made an ass
of yourself; but that will not trouble
you, old fellow. Your face is aglow
with brightness brought from heav.
emily places, that ridiculous cap on your
head is crown of gloay to you. RUDE.
You have preached for me an eloquent
sermon, a lesson of uses. You have
shown me that sentimental emotion is
of no value or account. Benevolent
wishes are moral vaporings unless they
find their ultimate in doings. The gifts
You possess you have cheerfully laid on
the altar of charity, all unconscious of
having done anything for your own
glory, delighting only in the joy you
have bestowed upon your neighbor-a

something you'd appreciate. I've got
one copy here, and I don't mind giving
you the first show for Il.
The young man seemed to be gratified
by these remarks, and did not conceal
the self-conscious expression of his face
as he took the volume and turned over
the leaves
what does it cost?" he inquired.
"Well, the price marked on it is fifty
cents, but you know it's the last in the
lot and getting mighty rare. But III
let you have it for seventy-fve cents,
seeing tomorrow is Christmas"
Well, the young man bought the
book and probably had his moneys
worth, as he seemed deeply interested
in its contents from that CINE forward.
The volunteer next attacked me, and
had no serious difficulty of swindling
me out of twenty-five cents on five
cent package of cough-drops, which he
declared would cure any disorder OF
the human system in miraculously
| short time.
The seat in front Of mine was occu-
pied by typical priest. Now, never
saw but two types of travelling priests
one the German and the other Irish.
This one was Enthusiastically Irish
quite willing and ready for a tourna-
ment of wit-and match for the ire
pressible drummer. His sharp thrusts
at the salesman were applauded by the
little coterie of friends across the aisle.
1t seemed to me that the cunning RUDE
| was purposely laying himself open to
give pointers to the priest. However
that may be, he managed to leave his
reverence poorer by a silver dollar,
but in an excellent humor with himself
and all the world.
! The Industrious salesman had by this
time proceeded beyond the range Of
hearing, but was steadily gaining in
popularity, and as he progressed shouts
of mirth greeted him. Almost every
one entered into the spirit of the enter
prise, and his stock was considerably
diminished before he had passed out to
enter the next car, for it was the
smoker, and If he had successfully
/ broken the ice in our car he was just
the man to reap harvest amongst the
democratic and anarchistic smokers.
The original and only train boy was
an interesting sight. His dependency
had evaporated. He no longer put me
in mind of sick chicken on a rainy
day, unable to find comfortable shell
ter; his dependency had taken wings.
He no longer dropped, but sat erect in
his seat. His dough-colored face took
on mahogany tint. The dull eye,
were sparkling with new light. Hope
had given him back his manhood anc
courage. He could appear before his
humble family in the character of q

tfanp,e,t Nation on Earth.

It is generally conceded that the hap
piest people on earth, as a whole, are
the French. They are happy because
they are contented, and one con-
spicuous reason why they are con-
tented is because the great mass of
them live in their own homes. Not
more than 80 per cent. of the French
people rent the quarters they live in.
They are, indeed, the best sheltered
people in the world. Though there are
only 80, 900, 900 of them they have 9,0OO,-
900 dwelling houses. This, as will
readily be seen, provides house for
every 42-9 persons, another conspicuous
exhibition of French thrift. In Amer
lea in 1890 there were 5.45 persons to
every dwelling; forty years before, or
in 1850, 5.94, or nearly six people to
every dwelling, and yet in France the
population is much more dense than in
this country. There are on an average
1S7 people to each square mile, while
in the United States there are but 81,
and in the north Atlantic only 1O7 to
the square mile. In the United States
in 1890 only AIS of the farms and
houses altogether were owned by the
occupants, the remaining 52.5 per cent.
being occupied by tenants and those
occupying the same at a rental. or

lagos, 63.2 per cent. are rented houses.
