The EnrIi,h DISLIKE Of commerce.

We believe that the English, who are
In continental opinion nation of shop
keepers. are not by instinct or by nspira-
tion a trading people ut all. or even an
industrial one. They are seafaring
people by tendency. and as the sea pro-
ducos nothing they axe compelled TO
trade, and circumstances have driven
them into the industrial life, but their
procliyity toward struggle Of any
kind, and not, except as an incident III
that struggle, toward the making Of
money. 1t was quite late in their his
tory that they recognized trading as
their vocation, and much later still that
they surrendered the notion that to be
u trader, whether merchant or manufac-
turer or dealer i'll money, was to be
comparatively IA base person. Till with
III the last few years all historians
thought economies rather unworthy
distinctions drawn against industry
were OF the most CALLING character. In
deed. they have not disappeared yet, the
contempt which was once felt for the
merchant and the banker being sal -
tertained for the '-stTibgtor, though lie
often combines 10th functions Tho
great industrial Is still hardly reckOned
on par with the great agricullurist,
and the shopkecper Of any kind is still
placed far below any sort Of professional
Money, it is true. is now almost the
only source OF irresponsible power, and
those who possess it begin, ike tho
powerful ia all countries and ages, to
be highly regarded, but the grandson CT
a Tottenham Court road peer would
much rather his peerage had been ac-
quired i'll battle or by chicane than cut
Of a shop, however large. Even the cap

How They Wash.

The hardest worked washerwomen
in the world are the Koreans They
have TO wash about a dozen dresses for
their husbands, and inasmuch as every
man wears pantaloons or drawers so
baggy that they come up TO his neck
like those Of "a clown they have plenty
to do. The washing is usually done in
cold water and often in running
streams. The clothes are pounded with
paddles until they shine like shirt
front fresh from Chinese laundry.
The japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing, and they iron
their clothes by spreading them ON a
fat board and leaning this up against
the house TO dry. The sun takes the
wrinkles out of the clothes. and some
of them have quite a luster. The Jap
anese woman does her washing out Of
doors. Her washtub is not more than
Fix inches high and is about as big
around as the average dishpan. She
gets the dirt out o1 the clothes by rub
bing them between her hands. She
sometimes uses japanese soap, which
is full of grease, and works away with
her bare feet. The Chinese girls do
their washing in much the same way.
The washing in Egypt is usually done
by the men. The Egyptian washerman
stands naked On the banks Of the Nile
and slaps the wet clothes, with a noise
like the shot Of pistol, on the smooth
stones at the edge Of the running water,
and such fellah women as wash pound
the dirt out of their clothes in the same
way.
Frenchwomen pound the dirt out with
paddles, often slamming the clothes up
ON stones. as the Egyptians do-Ex-

Grants Different Hats.

After his return from abroad Grant
had little japanese servant, who took
charge of him as though the general
were a bit of machinery and he Were tLs
engineer. Some of the newspaper men
noticed that in the course of one trip
Grant had on six different hats, and
they laughinGly asked him what was
the significance of the change Grant
said: why, | do not know | supposed
/ had on the same hat all the time
Investigation brought out the fact that
the little Jap, through the suggestion Of
some Of the ladies Of the party or some
Of the committee, had received ideas IS
to what kind OF hat the general ought
TO wear at certain towns. If it was
college town, just before he arrived the
little Jap would tiptoe 10 the general,
remove the slouch hat, place a silk hat
rarefully on the generals head and tip
out, the general never losing a word Of
any conversation. at the next stop, if
it was explained to the little Jap that
it was soldier town, OF would come
the silk hat and on went the generals
military hat lie made it a rule for tie
general never TO appear ut two places
i'll the same hat, and the joke of it was
that Grant himself did not know any
thing of the scheme. ."-Philadelphia

The Energy OF a Cyclone.

The primary cause Of the low baro-
metric pressure which marks the storm
center and establishes the cyclone is ex-
pansion Of the air through excess of
temperature. The heated air. rising i'll
to cold upper regions, has a portion Of
its yapor condensed into clouds, and
now a new dynamic factor is added, for
each particle of vapor, in condensing,
gives up its modicum of latent heat
Each pound Of yapor thus hberates, ac-
cording to Professor Tyndall's estimate,
enough heat to melt five pounds Of cast
iron, so the amount given out where
large masses Of cloud are forming must
enormously add to the convection c1r-
rents Of the air, and hence TO the stoIm
developing power of the forming cy-
clone Ii is doubted whether a storm
could attain, much less continue, TIE
terrific force of that most dreaded Of
winds Of temperate zones, the tornado,
without the aid of those great masses If
oondensing vapor which always accom-
pany it IN the form of stormclouds.

OUR BIG BUILDINGS.
For Them We Have No Architectural
Tradition TO Guide Us

For Them We Have No Architectural
Tradition TO Guide Us
To take the 90 story steel frame
building and think it out for itself is to
begin with that building Of Chicago in
which the panels between the uprights
Of the steel frame are filed with thin
iron, just as they might have been flllod
with pasteboard or leather. Such a
building has no walls. The spaces be-
tween the oonstructional uprights and
horizontals are simply filled. partly
with glass, partly with an Opaque
screen. That is the logical beginning Of
the new tradition, and if the designers
will take that up and work at it, they
may, in the course of the century, de-
velop a new style Of architecture. There
Is little chance, apparently, Of that be-
ing done. Instead of that, each designer
is applying to his own tall building the
forms which he finds in books or as
used in his own practice ON buildings
Of a far different character, these previ-
ous buildings having been designed
themselves by reference TO books rather
than under the sway Of tradition.
In short, no man can say that be has
learned of his predecessors any safe and
certain way Of going at his work, and
the consequence is that these conditions
under which alone can the design Of
any building be made successful are
wanting. Since the world began no
man has ever designed a good building
independently Of tradition. 1t is as GER
tain that 10 man ever will do so as it
is certain that 10 man Will build good,
swift, large freight carrying ship with
cut having consulted the lines Of other

ssne Queer Experiences In the Pablo
Dispensaries of New York.
The least hope Of any change i'll this
charity to all policy is with these dis
pensaries that are bountifully endowed.
The leading institution Of this class in
New York city is located ca the west
side, and, in view Of its defiant abuse
of all kinds of medical charity. has
earned for itself the unenyiable sobri
Iuet of the diamond dispensary" 1t
has such high reputation for the num-
Der and pecuniary ability Of its patients
that it would appear 10 lie rather a
credit than disgrace to receive its out
rageously misdirected charity. Such at
least is the inevitable conclusion that
may be based upon the large average of
we'll 10 do people who claim daily the
benefits of free medical treatment so
iavishly and indiscriminately furnished
TO all who apply, Many of these visitors
are from out Of town districts and viii
pay several dollars for car fare, will ask
for a written diagnosis of their disease
and an extra prescription, and viii then
complain if they are kept waiting be-
yond the time for their return train
The examining doctor is content to ride
to the disponsary in a horse car; the pa
tiont comes and returns in a cab. Ii is
no longer joke TO refer to the display
of diamonds or the number Of women
clad in sealskins in the patients wait
ing room. nor does it appear TO be un-
likely that, in the near future, conven-
fences will not be required for checking
bicycles and distributing carriage num-
bers in the order of the different ar
rivals. In this connection, the follow
ing description by an eyewitness in the
waiting room of this dispensary may be
interesting:
1.-The reception room held about 200
at time Nobody was turned away.
Fully 90 per cent Of the applicants were
well dressed, and 10 per cent of them
were finely dressed Three women wore
fur coats that had not been handed
down from somebody else. There was
an attractive display of fine millinery,
and the men, more than half of them,
bore no evidences of poverty. But all
obtained free treatment supposed to be
given to paupers-'poor persons.
Such instances as the following carry
with them their own moral:
During the examination of dis
pensary patient a roll OF bills dropped
from her pocket The doctor picked it
up and remarked. Madam. this is a
free dispensary, and as you are able to
pay fee for medical advice | must de-
cline 10 treat yen here. Well, replied
the woman, that money is for some
thing else. You are paid by the city
and must prescribe for me-. On being
assured that the doctor received no sal
AIRY from any source, the patient became
indignant and protested that she was
entitled TO attention equally with the
lady who had preceded her and from
whom she had rented house the week
before. DIR. George L. Shrady In

THE SHIPS SELL.

IL IL closely fdebttntu WIN thc hosc
Carver of the Vessel.
Lieutenant John NJ. Ellicott, u. S.
N. writes an article for ST. Nicholas
on "What Is Told by the Bell" in
which he says:
Nothing in a ship becomes so closely
identified with her throughout her
whole career as the ships hell. Officers
and crew come and go; masts, decks,
engines ard boilers become old and ure
replaced by new ones; but from the day
that she first glides into the water the
same ships bell remains always part
of her, marking her progress all ever the
world, and finally going down with
her to a lonely grave at the bottom OF
the sea, or surviving her as a cherished
souvenir of her existence and achieve
ments. On a man-of-war the bell is
usually inscribed with her name and
the date of her launching, and as it is
probable that il may some day become
a memento OF glorious history the bell
is often the subject of special care in
casting or selection. Sometimes the
hundreds Of workmen who have built
the great ship contribute each silver
coin 10 be melted and nodded into a
bell, which shall be the token Of their
love for the object of their creation and
their interest in her future career. Of
ten the people of the city or state after
which man-of-war is named may pre-
sent TO her a magnificent bell, appropri-
ately ornamented and inscribed with
words of good will and good wishes.
Such bell is usually presented with
ceremony after the ship goes into com
mission.
Ships bells in general are made of
bronze, like other bells The addition
of silver in their composition gives
them a peculiarly clear and musical
tone They are placed in such posi-
tion on the upper deck that they may
be heard from one end of the ship to
the other and are usually near the
mainmast or at the break of the fore
castle One popularity exists in ships
bell which is necessary on account Of
her motion at sea. The tongue is hung
so that it can swing in only one direc-
tion. If IL were not so, the bell would
b. continually ringing as the ship roll
ed and pitched. The direction in which
the tongue can swing is another impor-
tant point. If it were athwartshirs, the
bell would ring at every heavy roll of
the ship, and if it were fore and aft the
bell would ring at every deep pitch, so
the direction in which the tongue can
swing is nearly half way around be
tween these two.

Youth's Cruelty.

We have the phrase as tender heart
cd as a child" hut in reality nothing is
so hard and cruel rs youth. Its Judg
monts are inexorable. IL confounds the
sinner and the sin. Ii is impatient and
implacable. Only after one has lived
and suffered and has known the temp
tations and trials Of life does one learn
to deal gently with the weaknesses and
faults Of his brother man and TO throw
abOut the world the tender and envelop-
ing mantle of charity and sympathy.
Surely this broader comprehension
and sympathy is some compensation for
growing old. To it may be added the
fact not always apprcciated-that as one
Crows older one enjoys with a cultiyat-
I'd sense many things Of which youth is
profoundly ignorant
The young deyour all pleasure with
the indiscriminating appetite cf the
farm laborer. The older person chooses
warily, as an epicure selects among the
dishes Of feast. Perhaps the panorama
Of life is not less beautiful TO the old
than the young.
Only the picture is changed. 1t is no
longer gaudy chrome, but an etching.
