Lord Beeforth, the present mayor OF
Scarborough, England, and one Of the
.wealthiest men in England, was born
in one of the poorest districts Of Lon
don. He owes much Of his money to
his association with Gustave Dore,
with whom he founded the Dore Gallery.
Says a well-lSnown ballad singer in
the Detroit Free Press: THE finest COM
pliment / ever had paid me was by
General Grant. You know he was not
fond OF music, and once, when we hap
pened to be stopping in the same hos
tel for the night, and after the per-
formance was asked to sing for him.
l did not feel very much like comply
ing. In fact, ! refused him at first.
because had heard that music bored
him dreadfully, and he only agreed to
hear ms because the committee that
was entertaining him included me in
the attractions. About midnight In the
parlor Of the hotel, / met the general,
and shortly afterward 1 sat down to
the piano to play my own accompanl-
ment to simple ballad l had selected,
The general sat near the piano, and
kept my eye on him, so that could
see Is he was going to get tired, and
IL 80 l was going to stop as short as
could reasonably do. AS / sang, how
ever, became interested in the mel
ody and forgot the general, and sang
straight through to the end. Then,
as the last strain died away, the gem
sral rose suddenly. and, as he brushed
his hand across his eyes, he said, Con
found your music,' and walked away.
It was not quite what l expected, but
Il was the greatest compliment he could
have paid me. and / told him so when
ater he came and apologized for hav-
ng spoken as he did"

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN RAIL-
WAYS.

scribners Magazine for November
presents some interesting railway COM
putations and tabulations covering the
United States and England which are
of great interest. showing the present
extent, condition and revenues Of the
systems Of botir countries. England has
2O325 miles OF railway and the United
States 172,OOO-nearly nine times as
much as the old country while her
area is twenty-five times greater. Pro-
portloned to her extent, England has
three times as much track as the Unit
ed States, but in the ratio of her pop
ulation the United States has five times
as much as England. The English
roads run three times as many trains
as the American, and in 1892 carried
67,2OO passengers per mile of railroad
worked, against 1900 carried by the
American railroads Employing the
same mode OF calculation, that is about
fourteen for one on the side of the
British system, and three and half
for one In the matter Of freight. The
gross earnings OF the English roads
for the year mentioned above was
4OO.OOOOOO or $4,000 per mile; that of
the American system, ;i.s2O, 100000, or
7,72O per mile. The cost Of the English
roads is computed at $4,000 per mile,
and the American at $4,000; but the
former earns three times as much as
the latter, and taking all the forms Of
the railway debt together pays about
IL per cent interest, against per
cent In the United States. In the latter
country in 1899, 81 per cent OF railroad
stock paid no interest whatever; while
in England only a limited fraction was
thus in default.
The American system is only begun,
and at present is going through sea-
son Of overwhelming trial. That of
England is practically finished. There
is no room there for many more lines
of road, any more than there is for
any great accession TO her population.
The territory which It serves Is small
and compact differing little in its in

choose patterns that make you think.
SUITABLE relation should be the key.
note of artistic furnishing; everything
on plane with the life of the people
who are to occupy the rooms.
AMERICAN taste in dress and home
decoration has been sadly injured by
giving the leadership to wealth-to
the evil power of an ignorant purse.
Too MANY ". n-papcrs are too deli

Woop-ToNEs in wallpaper clear up
the human complexion and emphasize
beautiful fesh-tints; put your rouge in
lamp shades and wallpaper; not on
your cheeks.
STRIVE for a medium; furnish to the
ordinary and not to the extraordinary;

the best tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on the
