ABSOLUTELY PURE
TOURIST EXPENSES IN EUROPE,
ABSOLUTELY PURE

There have been many esti-
mates published of the amount of
money Americans spend on their
trips abroad. The following from
the pen of Franklin Matthews in
the Chautanquan, says that the
total amounts to millions each
year Taking the seeond-class
travellers into consideration with
the irstcabin travellers, ! am of
the opinion that 5000 is about
the average expenditure on the
trip. 1t is a mistake to suppose
that the wealthy traveller spends
large sums on the, other side.
Such persons usually take ser,
wants along and the ordinary ex-
penses are quite a heavy drain
for a rich man or woman. Once
on the other side, they 60 to some
quiet place, and they usually
count their pennies with the care
of those of less liberal means.
A large sum is expended every
year in Europe in the purchase
Of clothing. l think, however,
that this does not average more
than 800 for each traveller.
Considerable money is spent in
the purchase of souvenirs, but
this probably does not exceed $50
on the average for each traveller.
Those who have been in Europe
before spend almost nothing for
souvenirs on following trips.
Still, when one thinks of the
army that goes to Europe every
year, an expenditure of 5000 for
each person amounts to an enor-
NOUS sum. For the 100000 who
crossed in 1895 this would
amount to s6O,OoO,oOO. That
sum, in my estimation, represents
about what Americans pay each
year for the satisfaction of cross
ing the ocear and spending more
or less time in sightseeing in
Europe.

address to the United States con
gress in 1892 on tile money ques-
tion, in determining on what
metal the unit Of value should
rest, decided that should rest on
both metals, gold and silver, in
the following words:
"But upon the whole, it seems
to be most advisable not to at.
tach the unit exclusively to eth
er Of the metals; because this can.
not be done effectually without
destroying the office and character
Of one ofthem as money reducing
it to the situation OF mere mer-
chandise, which, accordingly, at
different times, has been proposed
from different and very respect
able quarters; but which would
probably be a greater evil than
occasional variations in the unit
from the fluctuations in the rela-
tive value of the metals, especi..
ally if care be taken to regulate
the proportion between them with
an eye to their commercial value.
To annul the use of either of the
metals as money is to abridge the
quality Of the circulating medium
and is liable to all the objections
which arise from /. comparison Of
the benefits Of a full, with the
evils of a scanty circulation"

sCIPIo AT LITERNUM.

Hon. W. F. Harrity, of Penn
sylvania, a prominent democrat,
is to retire to private life. In
speaking of his retirement that
able and conservative journal, the
Washington Post, uses the follow
ing eloquent language, that would
be a credit to the best writers on
any paper today. 1t is grand:
Over the throbbing and reluc.
tant wires there comes to us the
announcement that Hon. Will
liam +. Harrity, of Pennsylvania,
once postmaster Of Philadelphia,
once chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, frequently a
hero, and always beautiful and
commanding-that Harrity is
about TO retire from public life
and seek in communion with ma
ture the sympathy and apprecia.
ton he has not found in sufficient
warmth and satisfactory abund-
ance elsewhere. Like Scipio Afri-
canus, pursued by an ungrateful
populace and bounded by the
envious Cato, he will take refuge
in his own Liternum, and there,
far from the madding crowds
ignoble strife, he'll bare his
racked bosom to the fragrant wind
and tell bis sorrows to the listen
ing hills.
He has said it. The message
has gone forth. After fourteen
years of stress and fury as the
banner bearer of Democracy, he
turns 10 forest aisles and purling
brooks, to nymphs and dryads, ia
solitude and nature. He does moi
say he is offended. He goes with
pity for his enemies and speech
less affection for his friends. He
is just a wearied conqueror-a
Cincinnatus returning 10 his plow,
a Horace dreaming Of Glyeera and
Lalage, a Scipio hidden in the
roses of his garden. We do moi
lose him altogether, praised be
the kindly fates We merely
mourn his vanishing, while the
knowledge that he may reappeal
at need robs the salt tear Of hal
| its bitterness and leaves u.
strength TO hope.
Let US think Of him, then, a.
one who goes, but may return
Let us remember that We can still
invoke him in emergency. And
let US take comfort in the thought
tthat our bereavement is his gair
picture him embowered and al
rest, remote from the sordid noist
and struggle Of the outer world
the dotard wind among his locks
the bees distilling honey from hi
lips, the Naiads watching as ht
dreams. let Us take courage
thus, brace up our souls, ant
speed the joyous bagatelle.

ESCAPED THE TURKS.
Armenian Refugees For North
Dakota--Incident of
Cruelty.

Half dozen Armenians who escaped
the reeking swords of the Turks and
escaped to Marseilles where they were
taken in charge by members of the Saliva
ter. .army and then sent to The United
States, are in st. Paul aud soon viii be
sent to North Dakota TO work in the coal
mines.
Oae of the party, handsome, intelll-
gent fellow, fell into the hands Of the
police in Armenia and was brought be-
fore the judge, he says. There was no
trial, but the judge for some reason or
other, probably on account Of his In
offensive appearance, spared his life.
The others were brought up on the run.
The Judge would cast one look at the
despised Armenian and say, Take him
away The soldiers would push the
poor fellow along with the points Of
their bayonets until he reached the
slaughter chamber, where his tortures
were quickly ended by the exeCutoner,
who split his head with sword. THIS
young Armenian was ordered TO pitch
the bleeding, qulveriug bodies Of his
companions down stairs. Four days be
stood i'll the shamb bles until his horror
overcame his fear OF the butcheries and
he ran away, reaching the British en-
bassy in safety.
During the massacres the government
issued an order to the people OF Constan-
tinople to refrain from using fish for two
months. Every fish that was caught,
when cut open. was found to contain
fingers, toes and other parts of the
human body. It was CHASTITY but tell
ing proof of the extent of the massacre,
for the bodies Of tho victims were thrown
into the sea.
