Americana Abroad.

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 a German wa
tering place 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: why do your
countrymen and countrywomen do so
much dress parade business at a country
hotel in q strange country? We Germans
would never think of putting on evening
clothes for the smoking room of a 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 ut
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 gart
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
underlined" :"

BICYCLE PATHS.

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 tho
public at large Whether this should be
SO is II question that will stand some dis
cussion, but thus far the cyclists have
sought only to impose a small assessment
upon actual users of the wheel when mon
ey has been needed to construct cycle paths.
A few years ago Mr.. Charles L. Raymond
of Lockport, N. Y, one of the pioneers in
cycle path construction, declared that
"what is used by all and needed by ali
should be paid for by all, and this rulo
has commanded approval among wheel
men who have taken up the work of cycle
path making
Under favoring conditions cycle paths
cost from $75 to $3.50 per mile The sur
face width of the path should not be less
than feet and need not be more than
feet, except in raro cases. The paths are
generally laid out on the grass grown road
side, parallel with the wagonway. The
grass is first cut close to the ground, after
which the material-soft coal, cinders or
screened gravel--is put on in thin layer

The grade in most cases follows closely
the original surface Of tho ground. Mate
rial may generally be had at lower cost
and hauled 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.

SULLIVAN'S FAVORITE.
He Likes Lavigne Best of All the Present
Day Boxers.

"Of all the fighters of the present day
Kid Lavigne is the one am most stuck
on" says John L. Sullivan. There is
boy who will fight. He is pugilist not
an orator He is the grandest little man
of our time. He is as honest as the sun
and game to his hearts core. On the
level, I believe he can whip welter
weights and middle weights, not to talk
of the little fellows, but, of course, he
would be foolish to try it, He took a big
chance with Dick Burge of England, d
man five inches taller than he, with a
corresponding advantage in reach, and
to whom he conceded five pounds in
weight Kids only danger lay in over
matching himself. He might do tha.
as there are no 135-pound men breathing
who have a ghost of a show with him.
Jack McAuliffe can no longer get to that
weight. and he is the only one who could
hold him. When Jack and Jim Carney
were in their prime either would have
been a splendid match for the Kid
They were as far superior to the light
weights of America and England in their
day as Kid Lavigne is to those of the
present time"

then one of the few boats on the Sound.
1t made one trip week from Olympia
to Victoria, calling at all the small
places, not missing the logging camps
and saw mills. At that time all the
owners of mills and logging camps,
except the Port Blakeley and Port
Madison mill companies, paid in the

his bank aleng with the boat. II,
would cash all the time checks paid
with a discound of from S to 10 per
cent, thus making a neat little sum
along with his numerous other advent
urers. He was noted for his strict re-
ligious principles. Mr.. Nicholson says
''that in those days no one worked on
Sunday while with Capt. Finch.
Should the boat be able to leave 10

did not leave then would have to lay
over until Monday morning, he would
