terized the dealings at the stock exchange to-
day, except in the case of Louisville and
Nashville, which fell from 421S to 40K with a
subsequent recovery to AZ. This was the only
stock that did not make net gain tor the
day. The passage Of the dividend yesterday
and the loss OF $40, 800 in gross earnings for
since July /, 1893, led to sales for both local
and foreign account, At first the other active
stocks yielded slightly in sympathy but sub
sequently they cut away from
Louisville and Nashville and moved
up steadily to the close. Traders
were infused with the idea that the govern
ment intended to make bond issue at once
to replenish Its gold reserve and bought mod
erately of the prominent issues. Foreign ex-
change weakened and this was also in favor

HUNTING THE CHAMo1s.
[From Longman's Magazine

Speaking generally, 1 am inclined to
think that the chamois is not the pre-
ternaturally wary beast he is usually
represented to be. OF his comparative
Indifference to noises. as long as thew
are not too loud, I have already spok-
en-. Nor, in my opinion, is his eyesight
anything remarkable. Judging from
his failure to distinguish objects, such
as a mans head or hand, as long as
they are motionless, I should say that
the organs of vision Of channels are
scarcely more acute than those of hui
man beings. On the other hand, their
sense of smell is quite extraordinary
hence. the wind is by far the worst
enemy of the hunter The shifting ed
dies and currents, blowing now this
way, now that. now up hill, now down,
multiply tenfold the chances in favor
of the game.
1 have often asked friends of mine
who have hunted in various countries.
as to the distance at which deer and
other wild animals can scent human
being, and most of them seem to be
agreed that they will wind YOU more
than a mile off. I have certainly seen
chamois over half mile dj salnt make
off in alarm, when they could not pos
sibly have seen anything to disturb
them. 1t is curious, too how much
more the hunters odor seems to terrify
them than the mere sight of him. In
the latter case, unless you are quite
close, they whistle and move off quiet
~, turning round every few hundred
yards to look; while, if they get your
scent, they will throw up their heads
with an expression of utter disgust
that Is highly diverting, and, without
hesitating moment, gallop away al
top speed.

THE MAyFLowER,s HISTORY.
Other Ships of the Same Name That
Confuse the Record.
From the Brooklyn Record.l

from the Brooklyn Record.l
One difficulty which has baf1led re-
search is the number of Mayf1owers
when we look for the particular one of
history. 1t is possible. however, to
trace the Pilgrim Mayfiower from the
time of her first trip to America until
her last, in 1880, when she made one
of a fleet which brought over Governor
winthrop and his party to Massa-
chusetts bay. She sailed from Boston
in September, 1880, and never again
crossed the Atlantic. For twenty-five
years she was engaged in the East
India trade, and in 1859 was lost while
making return trip to London. She
sailed from Masulipatam in October,
1903. The many attempts that have
been made to trace the earlier and
later career of the Mayf1ower have
borne small fruits. Hunter, in an ap-
pendix ~ his Founders of Plymouth
has shown how common as a ship
name Mayfower was, and about all
that can be learned of her history is
that She was chartered at London in
June, 1920, by agents of the Pilgrims,
and that they finally embarked in her,
at Southampton, September 6, 1920.
After long and tedious voyage they
sighted Cape Cod, November 9, the
Rock December II, o. S. The May
flower remained at anchor in Plymouth.
bay until April 8, 1921, when she sailed
on her return voyage to England,
where she arrived May 6, according to
"Bradford's Journal" Not one of the
Pilgrims returned in her. The May
flower was a vessel of $50 tons burden,
and was commanded by Captain Jones
in this voyage. In 1929 the Mayfiower
was one of the five vessels which con-
veyed Francis Higginson's company to
Salem, and In 1880, according to Saw
age, she was one of the feet of ten
vessels which brought over Governor
John Winthrop and his colony to Mas
sachusetts bay. at which time she also
departed for Southampton. Sir Edwin
Arnold is authority for the statement
that the Mayf1ower was chartered in
1859 by the East India company, and
went TO Masulipatam from Gombroom
for a cargo of rice and general produce,
and was lost upon the voyage home.
Beyond this nothing has been ascer-

the language spoken at their tables
dhote seems to be not SO much Eng
fish as American. But to one class of
Londoners their annual advent is of
quite calculated Importance. For some
years past the Americans, starting on
their circuit Of the Continent, have
found the advantage of a London out
fit They get here the last style, and
they secure it at two-thirds the price
of the New York market. The visit at
the end of July synchronizes, more
over, with the period of sales, and so
they reap q double advantage.
But it is the men who are the chief
purchasers. The ladies' with all their
appreciation for bargains, know that
Paris is in their itinerary and still be-
lieve in the Louvre and the triumphs
of the Rue de la Paix. But the London
tailor holds his own against the whole
sartorial world. For him, indeed, the
American season is a boon and a bless
ling, and a considerable impetus is given
to the trade from the necessity of cater
ing for the American taste. The Ameri-
cans delight in variety. They will not,
like the English, be content this year
with the patterns of last year. They
like style and they like novelty It is
quite possible to tell from the goods ex-
hibited in the window during the last
week in July whether a tailor has or
has not an American connection.

PARIS is LIKE WASHINGTON.
Baron Haussman Said to Have Bor-
rovved the American Plan.

[From the North American Review.]
A friend of mine told me that he had
the following facts from Baron Hauss-
man himself: Ordered by Napoleon III
to submit plans for the renovation of
Paris, the baron was for some time at
a loss to meet the two-fold require
ments, for the contemplated improve
fnents Of the new streets had to be at
once beautiful and SO laid out as to be
readily commanded by artillery. Sud-
denly he bethought himself of modern
Washington. He secured plan of that
city, and this seemed on examination
so exactly to meet the necessities of
the case that he finally submitted it to
the emperor. The result was that the
plan in the main was accepted and
modern Paris was built on the lines of
modern Washington. Thus is ex-
planned a certain similarity which
strikes every one who is familiar with
the two capitals, although one might
naturally suppose the American city,
being the younger, to be the daughter
instead of the mother. But General
Washington more than a half century
earlier had ordered L'Enfant to design
him a plan for the seat of government
in much the same manner as Napoleon
III had commanded Baron Haussman.
Now, LEnfant was not only a
F'renchman. but a resident of Yer
sailles, and he undoubtedly derived his
inspiration from his earlier surround
ings; consequently Washington saw an
enlargement of the Royal park. with
it's alleys extended into avenues and it's
numerous flower beds and parterres
enlarged into circles and quadrants
Thus, by a transoceanic leap, Baror
Haussman took from the New World
what he could have secured at his own
gate. So much for merely curious
artistic coincidence. But in the light of
recent developments in our capital, a
singular inquiry suggests itself, namely
whether General Washington, in layir {.
out the city, did not have in mind the
same two-fold object that Napoleon III
had when laying out Paris. To be sure,
the present industrial army. movement
now bids fair to end in ridicule. But
at some later date a more desperate
one may require to be controlled by
artillery, and then the broad avenues
and straight streets of the capital may
be appreciated for other than mere
aesthetic considerations, and, on the
contrary, serve as an additional proof
of far-sightedness on the part Of the
father of his country
