An article in a recent periodical speaks
of the opinion entertained of Americans
abroad by the Europeans with whom they
are brought in contact At German wa
tering place a group Of foreigners were re-
marking on the conduct of some Ameri-
cans A German officer said to an Ameri-
can apropos of that fact. 'tWhy do your
countrymen and countrywomen do so
much dsess parade business at country
hotel in strange country We Germans
would never think of putting ON evening
clothes for the smoking room Of hotel
The American was unable to reply.
This has struck many others besides this
German. All over the continent you will
find in hotels American tourists carefully
putting on evening clothes to sit down at
the table d'hote while they are about the
only people there thus carefully attired.
The Germans, Italians. English and French
travelling on the continent do not seem to
think that it is necessary for them to garb
themselves so carefully for the dining
room of an ordinary hotel. as this German
officer said. In fact, the sneer of many
foreigners who speak English about many
of these Americans is ''overdressed and
underbred.s 81

Lord zsramwell,s First SUCCESS.

Lord Bramwen once described his first
success on circuit thus:
Zone day was sitting in my chambers
when there came a shagbag attorney with
brief for Maidstone, Platt to lead me. In
the course of the case the counsel on the
other side raised an objection. Platt an
swered the point Indignantly, and the
judge thought so. whispered something
to Platt and found myself ON my legs CIV
ing my answer. oh, that is quite diff
ferent matter Mr.. Platt said the Judge,
satisfied and convinced. sat down, hay
ing made a very good impression. I
thought briefs would be showered upon
me, but they were not-that ATTORNEYS
would be at my chambers when I returned,
but they were not Still from that time
somehow never looked back "-Temple

BICYCLE PATHS.
As Ordinarily Made They Do Not Cost
Much Money.

As Ordinarily Made They Do Not Cost
Much Money.
AS commonly made, cycle paths are not
expensive, and, the cost being generally
contributed by the wheelmen themselves,
no tax for this purpose is placed upon the
public at LARGE. Whether this should be
so Is question that will stand some dis
cussion, but thus far the cyclists have
sought only to impose small assessment
upon actual users of the wheel when mon
ey has been needed reconstruct cycle paths.
A few years ego Mr. Charles T. Raymond
of Lockport, N Y, one of the pioneers in
cycle path construction, declared that
"what is usnd by all and needed by all
should be paid for by all" and this rule
has commanded approval among wheel
men who have taken up the work of cycle
path making.
Under favoring conditions cycle paths
cost from SIS to $3.50 per mile. The sur
face width of the path should not be less
than feet and need not be more than z
feet, except in rare cases. The paths are
generally laid out on the grass grown road
side, parallel with the wagonway. The
grass Is first cut chose to the ground, aftsr
which the material-soft COAL cinders or
screened gravel-is put on in thin layer
and SO shaped and packed as to slope down
ward from the center to each side
The grade in most cases follows closely
the origina, surface of the ground. Mate
rial may generally be had at lower cost
and hau1sd at less expense during the
winter months, and this is an Important
point to bear in mind, since the item Of
haulage alone is likely to constitute more
than half the expense OF construction.
