THE FRENCH A CURIOUS PEOPLE
They Have Vanity, but No Pride;
Religion, but No Morality.

"The French must be the most curious peo-
pie on earth, writes Lillian Bell i'm letter
from Paris TO the January Ladies Home
Journal. "How could even Heavenly ingeu-
uity create more uncommon or bewildering
contradiction and com bination Make up your
mind that they are simple as children when
you see their innocent picnicting along the
fanilie', yet you dare not trust yourself to
hear what they are saying. Eelievo that
they are cynical, and fin do steele, and skepti-
cal of al women when You hear two men talk
nnd the next day you hear that one OF them
has shot himself on the grave OF his sweet
heart Believe that politeness is the ruling
characteristic of the country because man
kisses your hand when he takes leavo of you.
But marry him, and no insult is too low for
him to heap upon you. Believe that the
Frenchmen are sympathetic because they
laugh and cry openly at the theatre. But ap..
peal to their chvary and they will rescue you
from one discomfort only 10 offer you a
worse. The French have ssptimentality, but
not sentiment. They have gsllsntry, but not
chivalry. They have vanity, but not pride
They have religion, but not morality They
are combination of the widest extravaganza
and the strctest parsimony. They cultivate
the ground so close 10 the railroad tracks that
the trains almost run over their roses, and
yet they leave Place de In Concordo in the
heart of the city"

No Furlh.r b ic | Directions.

An account Of the successful and very forci-
bic resistance by the late Bishop of Sodor and
Man OF two highwaymen on lonely hanx
road has recalled a somewhat similar story of
selwyn, the good and famous first bishop OF
New Zealand. Selwyn, who was gentle and
sweet in his life. as well as most earnest and
enterprsing in the propagation of the Gospel
among the baibarians of the South Pacific. was
a firm friend X the Aaori natives OF Now
Zealand, and took their part publicly in a
dispute, which they had with the Ems lish set
tiers. This naturally incensed the lower order
Of settlers, who were trying to get the Macris'
lands
one evening, when Bishop selwyn was
walking in the streets of Auckland. he was ac-
costed by s.-drunken Englishnrn, who, after
abusing him for the part he had taken I'm be-
half Of the natives gave him blow across the
right check. The bishop stood in astonish-
nent and then, turning 10 his assailant his
left cheek, said:
"Now, si", the Bible tells me that when my
enemy strikes me on one cheek / must turn TO
him the other: so will oil ey its commands. -
Upon this the ruiIan, seeking the adnira-
ton of the group Of his sympathizers who
had assembled, struck the bishon severe blow
on the left check, saying: "Ch, Mr.. Bishop,
that's what your Bible tells you, is IL 60
The bishop turned pale. HIS example Of pa
tient forbenrance had been quite lost on the
ruffan and tho crowd. The time had come
for the assertion Of the ply sical force which.
in his college days, had won for him the title
of "the great George selwyn." The Bishop
said:
Yes, that's what my Bible tells me to do
TO the coward that has struck me once. But,

One of the most notable documents that
have been sent To either the President,
to Congress. or TO Other parties Interested.
in behalf of calling a halt to the further
prosecution OF the disastrous conflict.
called by courtesy. war, in Cuba. is Il
memorial transmitted TO the President
bearing the signatures of New York
bankers and business men.
The memorial discusses the situation
from the standpoint of American business
interests chiefly. 1t sets forth that the
Cuban war has already cost American
commerce $780, 900. 900, and is now costing
our business interests not less than 800,
600, 600. On top of petition presented to
Secretary Sherman little less than one
year ago. from much the same kind Of
sources and setting forth much the same
imposing facts, the memorial is calculated
TO make a profound impression in Wash
ington. and is direct answer to tho
question of what business the people of
the United States have to interfere in the
Cuban question.
In the name of humanity, appeals in be-
half OF peace may not be chserfully heark-
eped to by the proyerbially cool-bloocsd
statesmen who deal with national des-
TIMES rather than with human suffering,
but such a memorial as this demonstrat-
ing how badly our business interests are
damaged by the warfare may prove effec-
tive and command listeners. When We
read that famine stalks over Cuba, that the
population is depleted and industry and
commerce paralyzsd, we must under stand
that dollars are being lost in many guar
ters and they are worth considering even
though some of us may be deaf to the ap.
is more numerously signed than was the
first one and IL demon strates clearly that
Cuba Is, for business as we'll as other rea-
sons, OF quite as much inter est and impor-
tance to tie United States as 20 Spain.
While the memorial doesn't suggest
what procedure should be taken, 1t makes
clear that the business men VINO signed

AMERICAN STUDENTS IN FRANCE
Am bassa dor Porter Explains the Con-
dition of the Admission to schools.

Am bassa dor Porter Expi aims the Con-
dit ION Of the Admission to schools.
General, Horace Porter, United States
ambassador to France, writes from Paris
In answer to an inquiry in regard to tho
admission of q student from the United
States into the school of mines. No for
eiRn student, he says, can onter any of
the schools Of France-medicine, phar-
macy, dentistry, veterinary, painting,
design, nrcnitecture, music, defamation,
engineering, etc. without the formal
application of the diplomatic representa-
tive OF his country. In most cases, two
letters suffice; ono making application,
the other expressing thanks when the re-
quest is grsnted. Sometime more cor
respondence is necessary, for the reason
that thos, proposing to enter any OF tho
high grade schools have to produce GER
tain certificates of studies OF diplomas,
which the authorities accept only when
they come through the embassy.
Thess rules, General Porter says. apply
{, all foreign students. No discrim ination
is made against Americans; On the con-
trary the authcritis : extend all pcssibie
facilities to theru. There 10 large num-
ber OF American students in Paris, and,
as rule, thev are muca liked by the
teachers in French institutions.
As for the school Of mines, he con-
tinues, foreigners can bc admit d there
either rs foreign pupils, In which case
they have to stand an examination, or
as free auditors, in which cas-, there vs.
no examination. All the COURSES, now
ever, are not opsn To that class Of stu
dents, and no diploma is granted them.
In 10th cas- 5, ihey have to pay 80 francs
(so 65) for mntr.culation. IL the school Ia
iull, as occasionally happens, the applics'
tion for admission is put of until the
next year. New YORK Herald.
