she Thought Paris Provincial.

An American girl who has lived in Paris
declares that that great metropolis is abso
lutely provincial and countritied in many
respects. Here in Chicago one may go her
way undisturbed though she wears tub
on her head, but there one has to subscribe
to the traditions
The girl in question tells how at one time
she bought pretty little felt cap, very
much like a Tam o'Shanter, in the Latin
quarter. Naturally, having bought it, she
put it on her head and went out Now IL
seems that these particular hats We're worn
only by men, though the fact did not dawn
upon the American girl until she found
herself with following of small boys who
hooted at and gibed her, and men who
spoke rudely to her, and women who
laughed tempestuously. 1t really looked
as II she would have TO call "A closed car
riage in order to get home alive but she
suddenly bethought her of a more speedy
and economic plan. She snatched off the
offending cap, rolled it in her hand and
went on bareheaded. At once she ceased
to be an object of attention. The grisette,
you see, often goes bareheaded, even when
she is very nicely dressed, and so disguised
as a grisette the frank and free young
Yankee maiden" got home in beautiful
| safety
She never donned that cap again while
she remained in Paris-never But when
she returned to her native heath she wore
| it complacently, aud still wears it when the
fancy seizes her, and no one looks at IL twice
or seems to care. Whereupon Paris seems
| countrhed by contrast, or so she says

Englishmen are the milk cows of the
world. They are the great lenders from
whom all other nations borrow For
generations they have been rich and
saving until mt last their annual accu.
mutations have become greater than the
annual openings for Legitimate invest
ment. So severe has the pressure be-
come that latterly the money lender has
been forcing his money into every kind
Of undertaking, i'll all parts of the world,
creating by his own eagerness to lend,
the corresponding desire to borrow,
1t is the weight Of uninvested money
which stimulates borrowing, not the
cupidity of the impecunious. Borrowing
has not produced lending, but lending
borrowing. Interest has continued to
fall because there are more lenders than
borrowers. If Englishmen think, then,
that any communities have dipped too
deep into the English purse. they can
easily apply the corrective by little
self control. They should abstain from
further lending. This may seem a he
roic remedy. but it is the only remedy.

Every yachtsman knows that ship can
sail faster than the wind-that il to saw,
II the wind is blowing 10 knots an hour,
IA ship may be making - or IS knots an
hour. Now, 1t Is obvious that II the ship
is sailing straight before the wind it can
not, at the utmost, travel faster than the
wind itself is blowing as n matter of fact,
it will travel much more slowly. II. ON
the other hand. the ship is sailing at an
angle with the wind, ii seems at first sight
that the wind must act with less effect
than before, but as a matter Of fact the
chip not only sails more quickly than be-
fore, but more quickly than the wind it.
self is blowing. Let us consider the diff
Guilty in the light of the following expert
ment:
Place ball at one side Of the billiard
table. and with the cue. not held in the
ordinary manner but lengthwise from end
to end Of the table, shove the ball across the
cloth. The cue here represents the wind,
and the ball the ship sailing directly before
1t. The ball, of course, travels at the same
rate as the cue. Now, suppose groove in
which the ball may roll be cut diagonally
across the table from one corner pocket to
the other. II the ball be now placed at
one end of the groove and the cue held
horizontally, parallel with the long sides
and moved forward across the width OF
the table AS before. the ball will travel
a long the groove and along the cue, dag
ognally across the table in the same time
rs the cue takes to move across the width
Of the table. This is the case of the ship
sailing at an angle with the direction Of
the wind. The groove is considerably long
er than the width of the table-more than
double long, in fact. The ball, there
fore, travels much faster than the cue
which impels it, since it covers more than
double the distance In the same time. 1t
IL In precisely the same manner that
tacking ship is enabled to sail faster than

The wealthy Siamese, including the king,
practically turn night into day. All inn
portant political meetings are held in the
night, and o'clock in the morning is the
hour at which Bangkok fashionables retire
until 4 o'clock the succeeding afternoon.
There is "A semi European theater in Bang
kok. which was erected 10y one of the pres
ent kings predecessors, and there are plenty
of outdoor theatrical performances 10y ma
tives, the Siamese being pleasure loving
people and fond of all sorts of entertain
ments.
The worst thing that can happen to a
man in Siam is to get into debt, from which
there is never any escape, owing To the eX-
orbitant interest charged. Once in debt
there is no appeal, the debtor being stripped
of his clothes and compelled To work in fet-
tiers, generally for the rest of his life, tn pay
the interest. Drunkards are not permitted
TO give evidence in the law courts OF SIAM.
The Buddhist priests, clad in yellow
robes, are To be seen everywhere in Bang
kok, and il is quite common for young men
to enter the priesthood, which affords them
AN easy and luxurious existence, owing To
the liberality Of the popuace toward any
one sanctited to the service of Buddha. -
