Priory OF Christchurch is an easy five

Volumes That Go Unread.

This is the season when the different
cities of Europe and America exchange
bound volumes of their annual reports
and almost every mail brings to the
Mayors Office a book containing the sta
tistics of Knoxville or Denver or Quebec
or Halifax. The Mayors messenger is
engaged in arranging these reports in the
archives OF the city. where they are
likely to remain for an indefinite period,
because life is too short for the average
New Yorker to pay any attention to the
internal affairs of Kalamazoo or the i'm
provement of New Bedfords water front.
An examination of these volumes, how,
ever, gives some instruction. 1t shows.
for instance, the vast expense to which
the Canadian cities go in the preparation
of these sample volumes. When the
Montreal reports came in the other day
the appearance of the volumes astonished
Clerk Burrows. "If we went to such ex-
pense as that here" he declared, "a SEN
ate com mittee would be investigating us

beaten roads, on which invalids In and
out OF carriages and chairs are dragged or
drag themselves; avenues OF pines, with
branches interlacing overhead, and sharp
shadows like a mosaic underfoot; the
precipitous streets of a smart, shoddy
little town. full of hotels busting with
people and tourists and little dogs; BIZ
cycles flashing everywhere; carriages, at
tempting to avoid them, heading for the
pleasure gardens or the pier, where the
inevitable military band fills the air with
exuberant, stirring sound-there you
have Bournemouth on a fresh, keen, cold,
sunny day.
A white sky, mournful avenues of
drenched and dripping trees, under which
long rows of unoccupied invalid chairs
find dolorous shelter; rivers of mud in the
silent streets; a sea drowned in mist;
cliffs on which an occasional policeman
stalks in solitary grandeur; there, alas,
You have Bournemouth, TOO, on a wet,
white, cold and sunless day. If at one
time the little city by the sea fills the
mind with memories OF Cannes or Nice or
Monte Carlo reserved and dignified and
without color by contrast with the vivid
south at another it is as melancholy and
still as deserted village. The shops are
mpty; an occasional footman with books
from lending library; a profes sional
nurse hurrying to a chemists; housekeep-
ers with skirts hitched up above stout
ankles and stouter boots; cab-drivers
postmen and beggars seem to be the only
visible population.

frank seekers after diversion. Pleasure in

leans iostle and elbow each other on the
promenades in the gaming-rooms. Every
thing is gay, a little vulgar, infinitely
varied and brilliant.
Bouinemouth is peopled by an exclusive
aristocracy of retired civil service and
army officers, or by these who have the
mournful and not uncommon distinction
of weak lungs. The little town mas two
seasons.
"In summer" says Kate, the chamber
maid, 1.-The jolly people comes; in winter

At present. TO judge by appearances, it
is the delight or the depth of the winter

The frs: impression of the place is an
entirely cheerful one, ii the weather Is
bright and clear. The long shaded ave-
nues are guiItless of fallen leaf or flutter-
ing bit of paper; alorg the cliff, several
hundred feet above the sea, the promenade
is crowded by pedestrians and chairs drawn
by microscopic ponies or little donkeys
with spindl1ng legs. Children in bright
red coats and stockings hop about like
fismingoes: the air is full of the jingle OF
the little bells on the heads of the horses;
the little sharp ting of the bicycles warn
ing the unwary.
And everywhere the glance and gleam of
the sun in glare on the white roads, like
4 green flame in the trees, bringing into
vivid light the white, yellow and red roofs
of the villas, and in the water an intoler-
able binding radiance. And then there is
a cough, little strangled sound, and as if
by preconcerted signal as an orchestra
answers to the leaders, baton, there is a
pathetic chorus-children with the whoop-
ing cough, old men with the asthma and
children and young girls and men and
women, old and young, with that little
dry, hacking cough that Is so unmistak-
ably consumptive.
