FRENCH INCIviLiTY,
An English Lady's Charge Against Gal
lie Manners.

al" Hhs'ish Lauys Charge Against Gal
lie Manners.
french p~oliteness, as we all know,
mas passed into a proverb; yet, like
many another proverb, it can only be
accounted true in a rare and limited
sense, says the London Graphic. When
travelling in France one is struck by
the extreme rudeness of ones fellow
travellers, who lose no time in making
you as uncomfortable as possible, while
IL never occurs to any man to open the
exceedingly awkward doors of a rail-
road carriage or to assist a lady in get
Iihg In and out. On one occasion |
passed the Maison de Secours for
cycilsts, n asked the man in charge
Kindly to pump up one of my wheels,
al l a no pump with me. He
promptly declined on the score that |
a no card of the touring club with
me. In what d~esolate country lane Of
england, had one appealed to the
verlest scorcher, would such a request
nave been bluffly and rudely refused?
n TACT is that true politeness, the
klndly feeling of nan to men, or man
10 oma is far more developed in the
English lower classes than it is among
the so-called Gallo population. The
manners of Partisan "cochers," con
clerges" and officials have notably de-
terlorated since the advent of the re-
pubic, and any actual courtesy toward
women consists only in words and the
entirely meaningless fashion of lift
ing the hat. A Frenchman will always
push n trample and shove past a
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 dis
comhture, but he will rarely extend a
helping hand or take her under his
manly and disinterested protection.
When n remembers the admirable
conduct of the British crowd in the
street on the night of the Examinations
IN n of the jubilee, one cannot but
feel proud of ones c~ountrymen's man
ners, from the highest to the lowest.
P~oliteness without protestation might
be their motto.
The peculiaritfes of French and Eng
llsh people also exhibit themselves in
other ways. For instance, a French
chambermaid once informed me that
she preferred her English guests.
"Why?" l queried. Because they have
liked habits" she replied. Habits
they have, such as daily baths, open
windows and abundance of hot water,
but once you know these habits they
are every day the same. They rarely
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. To-
day they are too hot, tomorrow too
cold: today they sleep propped up with
pillows; tomorrow they like their heels
higher than their heads; and so they
are difficult, capricious, changeable and
hard to please"

A Good Story.

A good story is told of IA French CON
sui who had rendered important ser
vices to his country and had to wait
a long time for a reward in the shape
of Il decoration. He determined to
give the minister's memory n Jog; and
to this end went to pay his respects to
him every day with "A bouquet nearly
as big as a footman's drawing room
posy in his coat. After many repeti-
tons of this delicate hint, his excellen-
cy exclaimed: MY word, you do love
flowers, it seems, my friend.' staring
at the floral trophy. "Ah, l wear them
because | an so tired of answering the
people who keep on asking me why l
am not decore,' coolly replied the con-
sui. The minister understood. and
next month brought Nj his ribbon.

Elephant Outlets for Dinner.

The greatest luxury at dinner in
Central Africa is elephant steaks. Any
big native feast without elephants
flesh is as rare as an English society
Inner without venison.
In dressing the carcase of an ele-
phant h rough outer skin is first re-
moved in large sheets. Beneath this is
a sub-cuticle-a pliable membrane,
from which the natives make water
skins The rib bones are cut out and
slowed but all the other bones are de-
stroyed.
The most delicious part, very strange
iy' is the first joint of the leg below
the knee, which one would suppose to
be the toughest portion of the animal.
This joint is cooked by being buried
in a hole in the ground, a huge fire
over the top supplying the heat.

A Great Newspaper.

The City of Dresden owns a daily pa.
per, the Dresdener Anzeiger, which wa.
given to it by it's late proprietor on the
condition that all profits arising there
from should be spent upon the public
parks. This year a large playground
of nearly eight acres was purchased
from Prince George, the kings brother
and heir apparent, and it will be ready
for use this summer. The paper con-
tinues to hold the respect of all citi-
zens, for the trust has been carried GU
in it's broadest spirit, and the power has
never been employed to foster any
school of opinions-social, political or
religious.-New York Tribune.

PROVERBS OF THE SCORCHER

A bicycle can do almost anything
save climb a tree.
A drop of oil in time may save many
a gallon of perspiration.
1t shall be said of all bicycles thai
their way is the way of the crank.
1t is a wise cyclometer that shows
it's master an extraordinary days run.
1t can not be said of a bicycle rider
that he begins in the way he should go,
AS the handle bar is bent, so shall
the spinal column of the rider be in
cline6.
A soft answer turneth away wrath,
but a soft tire flleth a man with evil
thoughts.
The rider who pursueth his way with
his head bowed runneth to his own de-
struction.
AS the spoke is bent, so shall the
path of the bicycle deviate from the
straight and narrow way.
The oil cup that goes too long uncov-
cred will become possessed of as much
grit as the rider of the bicycle thereof.
1t is not meet that bicycles should
greet each other with clasping of hand.
Rather let them pay a formal, distant
greeting n to the other.
The bicycle hath wisdom which sub
mitteth to the charge that it is at fault
and not its master for running no two
days alike during the week.
The man who looketh behind him in
a crowded path would better be a pill
lar of salt.-New York Journal.

ences. The second one, bicycling
Through the Dolomites,' appears in the
current number. Col. Waring says:
We found that the bicycle fever had
cached even to our landlord, who was
experimenting with an iron-rimmed
wheel over which the saddle was sup
ported by a pair of elliptic springs.
Il tried it, and said it went very
well, though not so soft as the "pneu."
l lifted it, and did o care to go farth-
er. l told him it was too heavy. He
said: "Mawknix; muss starker SEM
probably the extra weight of this wheel
Would not be considered in fixing the
o that a Tyrolese peasant would
carry over the hills from the fields,
and need not be regarded as an OBJ
struction to sport. The wheels here
are all much heavier than ours, and
much stronger. They can be sent up
MIL by the tougher thews that grow
IN this land, and for safety in going
down hill they have very effective
brakes. The hest brake has two pieces
OF rubber, about two and a half inches
long and three-quarters of an inch
square. which are held fiat against the
TWO quarters of the tire. 1t holds very
firmly, and it's friction does not come
on the part that is subject to the great
est wear. 1t is used, not with a steady
pressure, but with successive light
squcezes. When one becomes accus-
toned to it, it gives excellent control
to any degree desired-even to hold
ing the machine stock-still under any
load and on any grade. Even the
usual fiat brake has a rubber face
which holds better and lasts longer
than metal. My American brakes were
mot in it" on these hills, as compared
with those of the local wheels | rode.
The use of the brake is exacted by
law in all towns, and it is almost uni
versal on country roads; so is the
furnishing of the wheel with a bell. but
the better riders in Innsbruck do not
use this in the city streets. They say

Projecting over the street which runs

port, N. j., are the great, towering
bows of what will be, when completed,
the largest ferry-boat in the world.
The boat is rapidly nearing a state of
completion which will Justify her

the street, so her stern projects out
over Newark bay, for the ferry-boat is
800 feet long, or within ten feet of as
long as the Wilson Line steamship

to London, and two-thirds as long as
the great Cunard steamship Etruria.
This gigantic ferry-boat was de-
signed by Lewis Nixon for the Penn
