Julius Caesar. Limitations.

julius Caesar was considered great
man, and 80 he was. But he had his
limitations, and some unknown writer
gives a few illustrations: He never
rode on bus in his life; he never
spoke into telephone; he never sent
a telegram; he never entered a rail-
way train; he never read newspaper;
he never viewed his troops through n
field glass; he never read an advertise
ment; he never used patent medicine
he never cornered the wheat market
he never crossed the Atlantic; he never
was in a machine shop; he never went
to roller-skating rink; he never con
trolled manufacturing company; he
never dictated a letter to a typewriter
girl; he never invested in railway
stock; he never played a game of bill.
lizards; he never saw an electric light
he never listened to a phonograph; be
never posted a letter; he never had his
photograph taken.

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
A Splendid English Tribute to Our Fair
Country ywomen.

Splendid English Tribute to Our Fair
Countrywomsn.
Such is she who all praises of na-
ture and art must take for a model,
though she knows 1t not. Yet she Is
SO exceptional that her portrait Is not
merely the portrait Of an ideal woman;
it Is the portrait of her single self and
bears her name. The new world and
the old have formed her. Alert and
gentle, she Is the vigilant critic Of both,
and from neither has she accepted any
grace that she has not improved by a
happy ransplantation, says the Pail
Mall Gazette 1t has been SO with her
person. The delicate American head
Is carried by the tall figure strength
ened by days Of walking across the
German hills; her mind Is qutckened
by two educations, and her manners
have a stateliness that Is new and q
simplicity that is old. She is sure Of
herself as charming girl and an
Of historic nobilities.
No one else speaks so well. She has
no accent but her own. You could not
tell whether Boston or Paris or Munich
or London has touched her English,
for 1t has nothing noticeable except Its
freedom from the faults Of each. She
would be confessed q stranger purely
because of her perfections, by every
capital in Europe and America; and
every province would own the short
ness Of her sojourning. Town and
country alike would be eager to claim
more than her presence. Conscious Of
their vulgarities, they would deny such
a daughter.
This lady's girlhood grew grave in
the new world where girls are queens,
and her womanhood grew gay In the
old world where the queens are mar
ried. She has never been without q
crown. Her face is fairer than the hair
they dream of in Paris, and fafrer than
the hair they know of in Germany.
She has shown the people Of the remote
Baltic coasts what it is to be blonde,
but to the fairest Of all nations she can
not have looked like one of themselves.
They knew no more blonde place on
earth, and 80 many have conjectured
her blonde from the planet Venus.
Her genius is international, and fed
not only by literature in the living lam
gauges, but by scholarship in the dead.
To harp again upon her speech-for 1t
is a musical string to harp upon-you
will never take this dear stranger for
an English woman. Boston alone can
fully tell by what reffnements she
rebukes the Boston manner of speech,
and we in London are well aware by
what refnements she reproves our own.
We would wish for our children no
better lesson than to hear her. She has
humor, too, in her open eyes.

the British and Americans to be
