FRENCH lNClvlllTY.
An English Lady's Sweeping Charge
Against Gallo Manners.

| French politeness, as we all know, has
passed into a proverb. Yet, like many an
other proverb, &c can only be accounted
true in "a rare and limited sense When
travelling In France, one is struck by the
extreme rudeness of ons fellow travellers,
who lose no time i'm making you as un-
comfortable as possible, while IL never Oc-
ours 10 any man 20 open the exceedingly
awkward doors of railroad carriage or
10 assist a lady in getting in and out. On
one occasion passed the Maison de Sccours
for cyclists, and asked the man in charge
kindly TO pump up one of my wheels, as
/ had no pump with me. He promptly de-
clined on the score that L had no card Of
the touring club with me- In what desc
late country lane of England, had one APP
pealed TO the yeriest scorcher would such
a request have been bluflly and rudely re.
fused?
The fact is that true politeness, the kind
ly feeling of man to man, or man TO WON
an, Is far more developed in the English
lower classes than IL is among the so called
Gallo population. The manners Of Pa
risian "cochers," "conciergesn and Off
cials have notably deteriorated since the
advent of the republic, and any actual
courtesy toward women consists only in
words and the entirely meaningless fash
ion of lifting the hat. A Frenchman will
always push and trample and shove past u
woman, forcing her off the pavement and
into the gutter, he will stare her out of
countenance, and follow her in the street
to her annoyance and discontinue, but he
Will rarely extend helping hand or take
her under his manly and disinterested pro-
lection. When one remembers the admi
rable conduct of the British crowd in the
streets on the night of the illuminations in
honor of tho jubilee, one cannot but feel
proud of ones countrymen's manners,
from the highest to the lowest. Polteness
without protestation might be their motto.
The peculiarities of French and English
people also exhibit themselves in other
ways For instance, French chamber
maid once informed me that she preferred
her English guests. Why9 Iqueried. "Be-
cause they have fixed habits, she replied
"Habits they have, such as daily baths,
open windows and abundance of hot wa
ter, but once you know these habits they
are every day the same. They rarely ever
ring the bell, except at stated times, and
you easily learn how to serve them. Now,
the French visitors never like the same
things two days running. Today they are
sleep propped up with pillows, tomorrow
they like their heels higher than their
heads, and so they are difficult, capricous,
changeable and hard to please. ''-London

One Woman's Trials.

A resident Of Staten Island has lately
been very much annoyed by some of the
urchins of the neighborhood. She is a
great lover Of nature and has OH her
front piazza a number of potted plants
which have been cared for all winter.
AT night, when everything is quiet, the
boys come and manage to steal one or
two plants without discovery. One by
one her choice flowers have disappeared,
and although she has watched for the
thieves they have never been caught.
The other day she conceived plan
by which she saved her remaining
treasures. Tying string to each flow
erpot, she connected the ends with a
bell in the hall That night she waited
patiently for the alarm. At last there
was a tinkle and then "a crash. Rushing
out. she saw boy, apparently fright
ened out Of his senses, running down
the path. When he found the pot tied
and heard the bell ring, he dropped his
booty and took to his heels. The boy es-
capped, but there has been no more trou-
BILE with flower thieves.
This woman is very fond Of pets Of
all kinds and has a number about the
house. One day, while marketing, she
saw beautiful gamocock and thought
it would make a novel sort of pet. Pay
ing $50 for her find, she had it sent
home. The bird arrived before its mis-
tress and was received by the cook, who
chopped off its head and prepared it for
dinner. New York Times.

REVIEW OF THE SITUATION.
How the War Developed and How j
May End.

How the War Developed and How II
May End.
From the Atlanta Journal of Monday.
A formal declaration of war with
Greece has been made by the sultan.
The council of ministers at CONSTANT
nople has declared that war has broken
out, and Edham Pacha, the Turkish
military commander on the Grecian
frontier, has been ordered to take the
offensive.
The declaration of war was made
following the news Saturday night OF
the incursions by the Greeks on Turk
ish territory.
A detailed circular sent from Con-
stantinople to all Turkish ministers and
consuls abroad recalls the invasions
during the past week and states that
the newest incursion was participated
in by the Greek troops, which, there
fore, establishes war In this note, as
was expected, all the blame for the
declaration is placed on Greece, and
the powers are called upon, in sub
missive way, to recognize this fact, a
policy inspired by a knowledge to-be-
sure that the powers favor the reten-
tion of Crete by the Turks, and have
endeavored from the first to coerce
Greece to a withdrawal of her troops
from the island.
Perhaps no declaration of war in

THE WAR Is ON.
Greek and Turkish Forces Fighting All
Along the Line.

Greek and Turkish Forces Fighting All
Along the Line.
The war between Greece and Tur-
key has at last formally commenced,
and Associated Press dispatches from
the front indicate that all the stragetic
points on the frontiers OF the two coun-
tries are long lines of battle.
Just how it commenced is not yet
clear, and that, perhaps, is of no spe-
cial Importance at present. How the
armies of the two countries have been
facing each other on the frontiers, and
how, from time to time, there have
been collisions, is already familiar
story. On account of the attitude of
the European powers, which threaten.
ed that the aggressor should reap no
substantial benefits from victory, while
both countries were anxious for war
as a grateful relief to the suspense,
each preferred to put the responsibility
for aggression on the shoulders of the
other. In the meantime, the forces of
either country have been vancouver
ing for the command of stragetic po-
sitions, and trying to get every pos
sible advantage against the time of the
inevitable outbreak.
1t was on last Saturday that matters
came to a climax. Whether the de-
claration of war was the result of
fighting already commenced, or the
fighting that has since become gener-
al is the result of the declaration of
war, is a matter that will have to be
determined in the general settlement
hereafter but the facts as they appear
now, are to the effect that at coun-
Gil of the Turkish ministers, held at
Constantinople on Saturday, there
was q declaration to the effect that u
estate of war existed Oh the frontier"
Within few hours afterward, Prime
Minister Mr.. Delyannis said to the
Greek congress: "Turkey declares
war against US. We accept it." The
statement was received by the assem-
bly, with cheers, the cheers were echoed
in the streets of Athens, and from
there news was telegraphed to every
part of Greece, and throughout the
world.
simultaneously with the events just
described, the Greek and Turkish
forces on the frontiers were moving
toward each other, and as a part of the
same story, comes the news of des-
perate battles that are being waged at
different points along the frontiers.
The first big battle was commenced
at Milouna Pass Oh Saturday morning.
The Greeks descended into the pass,
and were met by four battalions of
Turkish infantry. The Greeks were
driven back at the point of the bayo-

Turkish bonds. But that is consid-
Grafton which cannot long endure. The
hearts and consciences of the vast ma
jority of the inhabitants of the Chris
tian world are with Greece, and when
this vast majority becomes aroused, as
it surely will if it is given time, bond
holders and governments will have to
turn about and follow. The course OF
Greece is one that is calculated to COM
mand support everywhere. If money
is all that is needed by this heroic
people, it will be speedily forthcoming
from millions of willing contributors
in every Christian country, and it is
not improbable that there will also be
found many who will be willing to
help in the actual fighting. But let us
not speculate too far just now. Mo-
mentous events are happening and this
is probably only the beginning.
