asylum uniforms as in London, and carry the same garbage-barrel collec- tors bags, but suppose that the royal mail carriers is national costume and not the result of local frealSishness in tailoring. The baby carriages are quite as absurd in construction as those that abound in the British capi- tai. As a usual thing they bear a close resemblance to what might be imag- ined would be the result of cross be- tween d wheelbarrow and railway porters' truck. They are awful in con struction and appearance. l wonder that infant mortality is not greater in Great Britain.
 Southampton, however, has features that are otherwise than mirth-provok- ing. Its natural surroundings, both by water and by land, are all that the most fastidious tourist could wish for if he is not too internally experi- enced, and suffering from chronic at tack of blase. Southampton has as fine an assortment of ruined castles, ruined abbeys, and noblemen in ditto condition, as any town in England. Its collection of antique, intermingled, catercornered, cut-on-the- bias, and yet neyer-lose-yourself streets is unsur- passed, even by Boston. And speaking of Boston, it's common would hide its diminished head with envy if it ever took sail and saw Southampton com mon with its almost forest-lile propor- tions.
 Nature, and lot of royal and ducal and baronial cut-throats, together with a job-lot of monks of the middle ages, did great deal towards making Southampton one of the most interest," ing places my inexperienced self has ever seen. It is full of nice decent people, divine, wrath-fearlng, police fearing people. It is safe to go any where at any time. There seems to be only an infnitesiTnal element of rowdy- ism, while as for crime it is almost un- known. An occasional drunken brawl among sailors and landlubbers appears to be the most important sort of case that the police constables have to con tend with. The police are a very de- cent set, too, and by wise provision of their superiors wear abbreviated lightning rods on their helmets. They have little to do except draw their pay, and that can't be a very heavy task, considering how low the salaries of minor officials are in Britain.
 The climate at this time of year is re- laxing, enervating. That everyone acknowledges or rather maintains One cares only to 1oll around and see odd and curious sights, but to even re-

thoroughly, on that account. If one has only months vacation it couldn't be spent in a more enjoyable way, to my mind, than devoting the necessary two weeks to the ocean trip from New York and the rest of the time in South ampton, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. There is no need of running up to London. It's waste of time, trying to the nerves, and causes inn mediate wasting away of the purse tissues. London is a hodge-podge. It is big. Southampton isn't either. It is old and respectable even to the waters edge, and the bar-maids. The people are docile, and steady influx of Amer ican visitors would no doubt wean them from their staid old English channel ways. They are trying to do the best they can. If there exists in the Southampton mind only dim idea of street car they do the best they know how, by substituting a lot of two deck Noah's arlSs on wheels which
 they run at long bewhislSered intervals on rails-metals they call them. They answer the purpose of street ears to the inhabitants and to Americans who aren't in the least bit particular as to time or direction. Then as to hotels they have acquired some bad habits, have the innkeepers, from their big brothers the Lunnun hotel pirates. but the Southampton hotel people, like all Southamptoners, evince a sincere de sire to do the best they can. The inn I am writing in now is a quaintly cheerful place, overlooking Above Bar
 an oddly but appropriately named street, centuries old. The rooms and meals are all that could be desired
 when one keeps desire screened, but the prices that prevail show almost a slavish desire to initiate London again. But, let Us forgive, the fare i: excellent-and nnonotonous. However it is all thousands per cent. better thar the accommodations that are to be found in any American seaport town of tht same size. Besides being amenable tt kindness and civilization. the people here are more sensible than the mon key-men oi London. They don't wea' high silk hats all the time, or eat theil break lasts in frock coats out of re spcct 10 the Bank of England. Th' mail carriers wear the same orphan

tain an impression is hardship. There is no hurry perceptible anywhere-not even by the natives to collect bills from the stranger almost departing from town.
 There is another good point about the Southamptonians While they do not speak English that is altogether in telligible to the ordinary Yankeeman, they hold on to the 'sh's' and don't drop them except in cases of emergen- ey. But they speak very broadly, and with an exasperating sing-song voice. Thank you" for everything (not 'anl1 you in Southampton, thank goodness), is just as much mockery as in other English places, but one gets used to such things at last. I said "Thank you" recently to a slot machine when received a slab of chocolate when 1 slipped a penny in the aperture. Such is habit.
 Southampton fairly bulges out with history, and it's overflow is found in every road that leads from the town. In the city many of the old places-six or seven hundred years old-have signs giving the passers-by link of history on the fly.
 The town itself is squeezed in on tongue of land between the rivers Itchen and Test, and has landlocl1ed harbor extending for about eight miles along picturesque shores. and studded with the shipping of dozen nations. 1 From the pier, admission one penny toll a-going, and a penny again accom- ing, it is only about an hours ride to the Isle of Wight, while the boat fares fiuctuate from one to three shillings.
 Besides the delightful boat ride you have an opportunity of paying few more pennies for toll at Ryde on the island. and then taking stage coach to the chine, a murzy, seni-under- ground and much befoliaged ravine- like passage, where three pence toll is charged for permission to founder up and down the slippery path One can go to many pretty places on the island--I doubt if there are prettier in the whole world--but it is exasperating to have to cough up coin of the realm at every step. I'm no Jay Gould.
 In Southampton it's the same. The tourist visiting Netley abbey must cross floating" bridge over the It.

If Southampton could only engage a good advertising firm to toot it's horn for it, the returns would more than balance the outlay. When they come to England by way Of Southampton,
 Americans as general rule make a bee line for London, remaining here only long enough to lie to the customs officers, check their baggage, and say: "Ain't we glad there's train out of this beastly little seaport town" Then when they've been thoroughly bled by the Dick Turpins of Great Britain, and the fellows in the same line of business

If they get Bere the night before the steamer starts they usually put up at the hotel nearest to the docks or railway station. Well, we all know what railway sta tion hotel is, and they're no worse here than in the states. Then there is 8 numerically small grade of tourist who gets here in time to spend day or two on the Isle of Wight.

was manifest Not only vas pure science more
cultivated than ever, but practical works were
numerous and these are described as embodying
suggestions far from being archaic or obsolete or
ineffective. Almost the only notorious superst-
ton countenanced by learned physicians Mt the
close Of the seventeenth century was that OF peo-
pie who desired to be touched by royalty as a cure
for scrofula In that case they thought more OF
popular reverence for the monarch than OF the
cure.
In the whole field Of human life In religion. as

that the improvements OF the period concerned
not so much the great minds Of the nations as
the general public Wise men stood at the be-
ginning OF the century where others stood at the
end But, altogether. there had been no equal
number OF years In the history Of the world that
witnessed a distinct rise OF all the people
than that which characterized the seventeenth
century. Mr.. Trails specialists agree with each
