THE English breakfast" writes a
pleasant correspondent, lis to me one
of the most perplexing Of meals /
am studying it as given in the English
novel and am told. on the one hand,
that 1t is a far lighter meal than the
American one, being for highly de-
veloped souls, merely tea and very
dry toast. On the other, I learn that
masses OF cold meats are assembled on
the s!deboard and the strange things
in aspic jelly, to which may be added
the eggs and toasted bacon which all
well regulated Britons demand, make
up the correct thing for breakfasts.
You have lived there, I know. What

chooses, without reference TO facts7
1 find In examining the English types
that come to Us that there are two dis
tinct ones-the fat, fair, wellfed, forid
type and the lean, dark, saturnine or

may be victims Of the aspic things and

The aspic things are chiefly in
Ouida's novels. Rational people are
not likely to eat them in the morning.
The English breakfast however, has
as many variations as the classes OF
English society. 1t is in all cases an
informal meal, with little service. At
breakfast in an English country house
where many guests were spending
part OF the Christmas holidays they
strayed in at will. Tea and coffee
were kept hot over spirit lamps and
boiled Eggs and toast were brought as
ordered. On the sideboard were cold
beef, ham and game pie; and the gen
tlemen served themselves and any
lady who asked for meats. Toast came
In a rack never very hot and mullins,
buttered and toasted in the oven,

most modern English houses have
well made ranges, slow, old fashioned
stoves making all forms Of cooking diff

innumarable forms of crushed wheat
and oats are almost unknown except

each rising to help himself. which
John Bull chooses to consider sim-
plicity and informality. The result Of
this conviction is often great clumsi-
ness, but many English fashions are
both clumsey and inconvenient. So
far as menu Is concerned the American
has distinctly the advantage, and the
advocates Of the light continental
breakfast can quarrel equally with
both.

The work of Colonization Going on
Rapidly fn Various Quarters.
Although barely ten years have
elapsed since Germany set about the
national work of colony building, her
progress in this respect has been
altogether phenomenal, says the New
York Tribune. The Teuton flag floats
over territory SURPRISING FIVE times in
superficies that Of the fa~therland, and
the growth Of that colonial empire
which Bismarck inaugurated in 1884
can only be compared to that of
Jonah's gourd. 1t remains to be seen
whether this astonishing development
will prove ephemeral or lasting. One
significant fact, however, Is that after
this experience of ten years the Ger
mans are as united in their belief as
10 the wisdom Of possessing colonies
and their value as they were at the
outset. This is all the more noteworthy
since no one of these dependencies
has as yet begun TO pay its way, but
still constitutes a serious charge upon
the imperial eXchequer. Nor are the
colonies as yet of any great conse-
quence commercially, since the gross
value of the imports and exports of
the German possessions in Africa does
not exceed 100000 per annum.
Neither can the colonies be considered
Of much importance to Germany as a
home for her surplus population, since,
according to the official statistics just
issued at Berlin. the total number OF
German subjects In German colonies
after ten years of ~colonizing Ices not
exceed 1000; that is to say, not so
many as sometimes reach New York
In the space of one week from Bremen

couraged, the imperial government is

taking the lead OF all European
powers In the construction of railroads

key to the development Of the dark
continent. and Germany deserves the
good will and gratitude of trade and
commerce throughout the world.

PAUL JONES' LOVES.

n Filtration with q Countess.

n Filtration With q
Tradition gives a long list Of Paul
Jones' love affairs and gallantries.
There is no doubt that he was a lion
among the ladies, and had a roaring
Irritation with the Countess Laven-
dahl de Bouron. She was much young
er than her husband, and chroniclers
note that he was more renowned for
wit than for discretion. She painted
Paul Jones portrait, and wrote verses
under II. He so far lost his head over
this lady that he wrote her most vio-
lent love letters, inclosing locks Of his
hair, and asking her t6 take care Of
his sword on his approaching voyage
Ia America, aud To correspond with
him IN cipher, says Molly Elliot Sea-
we'll in the Century for April.
The countess seemed to think at this
point that the affair had gone far
enough. and that ii was time To-
throw cold water on her too ardent adj
mirer. Paul Jones got out of his awk-
ward predicament with rs much skill
as he had escaped from the Texel.
He assured the lady he was not the
least In love with her-friendship, aud
friendship only, was all he meant,
and she had evidently misunderstood
him-whioh effectually landed the
lady in the awkward predicament.
He seems, however, never to have
lost lser respect, for the correspond
ence was resumed I'm after years.
Then there was a Nine. Thelllson.
a natural daughter Of Louis XIV, with
whom Paul Jones appears to have had
| n love affair Of some sort. He had in
fuence enough to have her introduc-
ed TO the king, who promised to be-
friend her. Afterward Paul Jones
wrote Mr.. jefferson, then minister ia
France, recommending Nine. Theli-
son to his friendly Offices. He men,

and had never found out whether she
had used the money for the purpose
specified or not.

mirable fact that among are LOO let

THE JAY TREATY.

The elaborate celebration in New York
of the centennial of the ratification of the
Jay treaty with England, coming as it
does at time when we are involved in an
exciting controversy with that country, is
a matter of no little public interest. 1t re-
calls in an impressive way that while the
relative Importance of two nations has
changed immensely the attitude of the
one to the other remains virtually the
same to-day it was hundred years ago.
1t is significant of a weakness at the
.lme the treaty was made that the advo-
Gates OF II boasted with some pride that it
gave us commercial freedom" 1t was
regarded as a stroke of sagacious and reso-
Lutte diplomacy that Great Britain had
been induced 10 consent to share the ocean
with US, even though the treaty was far
from giving us what we have since
asserted as matter OF right without ask
ing the consent of any power. 1t did not
secure for US, for example, the abandon
ment by Great Britain of the presumptu-
Gus claim of right to search American
ships and take. English sailors from them
al the pleasure OF the commanders of their
warships. To win the full freedo m of our
shipping on the high seas we had to wage
the war of 1912. We were too weak, how
ever, to fight for even such right in 1875,
and as consequence the Jay treaty was
regarded by Washington and the Federal
lists as deliverance from grave evils, and
was accordingly ratified and hailed as
diplomatic triumph.
The people did not regard the treaty
with the favor accorded 1t by statesmen.
Their attitude then as now was one of will
ingness for immediate war. The treaty
was denounced in almost every city in the
Union. Its advocates were hooted on the
streets. Hamilton barely escaped being
mobbed in New ork, and even the public
veneration for Washington did not pro-
tect him from the assaults of the angry
and excited opponents OF the measure.
The Indignation of the people was hardly
to be wondered at, but it is clear the Gov
eminent was wise in accepting the treaty.
The time had not yet come when diplo-
macy could represent fully and without
compromiss the will and the aspirations
of the American people.
America and Great Britain co afront one
another now as then conscious that the
rivalry between them is founded upon un-
avoidable antagonisms. Out of these an
tagonisms there is no necessary result in
war. Careful diplomacy and sagacious
statecraft will we doubt not save the Eng
disappearing peoples from conflict that
would weaken their powers, and give the
semi-despotic monarchies of other nations
a chance to gain advantage out of the
strife between them. For our final triumph
over our rival no war is needed. We grow
in power more rapidly than she can hope
to do, and no better proof of it is needed
than the contrast between the Jay treaty
of 1875 and the message which Grover
Cleveland has just sent to Congress.
Then we sought England's consent to our
enjoyment of commerce. Now we assert
supremacy throughout this hemisphere
and challenge her opposition.

is brilliant contribution by John 2. Irish

dote, sentiment and industrial needs and
conditions, all centering in matters dear
to the heart of true Californian.

presenting, somewhat in the quaint style
of 'sThe Arabian Nights" hitherto un-
recorded adventure of Haroun, the shrewd
prince given to prowling the streets of
Baghdad in disguise.

instructive as usual, Random Notes" will

One of the saddest features connected with
General Grants financial failure was the loan
he obtained from Mr.. Vanderbilt of $3.50, 900.
Ward had approached the general on Sunday

at once drew his check for the ST. so, 900, with
out security. The general expected to return
the money Immediately, for Ward had assured
him that there were securities for more than a
m illion dollars in the vaults to the credit of
Grant & Ward.
When the deception was discovered the first
thing the general did was to transfer all his in
dividual property to Mr. Vanderbilt. The
hou Sc in which he lived, all of those magnifi-
cent trophies which he had received from for
eign nations and the splendid curios he had
gathered from all countries were to be given to
pay this honorable debt.

II there is any truth in the announcement
that the Southern Pacific has arranged to
remove its park spur track from the center
of the ocean boulevard to the side the plan
should be made to take the form of an
entire removal of the road. The public
value of this boulevard has been greatly
enhanced by the building of the Ingleside
racetrack, as this is the best, most attract
i've and most convenient thoroughfare
from the beach to the races. However as
the track is placed in the boulevard, it
will have to be crossed by all teams head
ing to and from Ingleside, and this means
danger More than that, the private prop
erty facing the boulevard will be rendered
utterly worthless by a railroad occupying
the sidewalk. Thus private as well as
public rights are seriously threatened.
at the time the privilege was given the
Southern Pacific to lay this track for the
convenience of the Midwinter Fair there
was general belief that by some means
not then foreseen the company would find
way to maintain the track permanently,
despite the fact that the privilege was to
expire with the death of the fair This
belief has proved correct. The Park Com
