Frank Tyron Charles, in What to Eat,
compares Paris and New York in very
many things that make for the comfort or
discomfort of men. of New York he
says, in part:
Can live on the twenty-first floor; in
Paris the highest house has only eight
stories.
Can give ball when like; an Paris
must get permission from the other ten
ants.
Can be run over free of charge; in Paris
if run over must pay fine for being in the
way.
can speak to New York policeman
without bowling; safer to bow in Paris.
Can buy daily papers with the news of
the day; in Paris newspapers bear to-mor-
rows date with yesterdays news.
Can engage a theater seat and have a
programme free; extra charge for this in
Paris.
Can take my seat without consulting an
old woman usher; impossible in Paris.
Can take young lady alone to the the
alter; in Paris must take her parents also
Can propose to a girl in private; in
Paris her mother must he present.
Can get married without certificate of
birth and baptism; can't In Paris.
Can pull teeth without a license; must
have a license to do that, or anything, in
Paris"
OF customs in Paris, he says
Can live well in Paris for 81 a day; can't
in New York.
Can get a cheerful, airy apartment in
Paris for $15 a month; can't in New York.
Can live at the top of the house and
still be in society; not easy in New York.
''Can be acquainted with counts, dukes,
ETC., without Dragging about it; can't in
New York I
Can give an evening entertainment with
only sirop and punch for refreshments
can't an New York if 1 wish to have
friends.
"Can sit on the sidewalk and drink
beer; not permitted in New York.
Can ride all over Paris for one car fare,
and on top for half-price; can't in New
York.
Can get a small, well-written daily pa
per; must buy big, slangy one in New
York.
Can give cents as tip to a waiter;
would not dare give so little in New

A.Lesson in Usurx.

Peter Cooper, the great philanthropist
of New York, was one of the most sue
cessful, careful and prudent business men
of his time. He was strongly opposed to
the methods of many merchants who
launched out into extravagant enterprises
on borrowed money for which they paid
exorbitant rates of interest. The follow
ing anecdote illustrates the point very
forciby:
Once while talking about a project with
an acquaiptanee, the latter said he would
have to Borrow the money for six months,
paying interest at the rate Of per cent.
per month.
why do you borrow for so short a
timer Nj. Cooper asked.
Because the brokers will not negotiate
bills for longer"
Well if you WISH" said Mr. Cooper,
Il will discount your note at that rate
for three years"
Are you ia earnest?" asked the would
be borrower.
Certainly I am. wflI discount your
note for $4,000 for three years at that rate.
VIII you do it?"
"Of course, I will" said the merchant.
Very well," said Mr.. Cooper. Just
sign this note for $4,000 payable In three
years, and give your check for $500, and
the transaction Will be complete
But where is the money for me?"
asked the astonished merchant.
You don't get any money" was the
reply. Your interest for thirty-slx
months at per cent. per month amounts
TO 10S per cent, or $4,000. Therefore, your
check for $500 just makes US even''
The force of this practical Illustration
of the folly of paying such an exorbi-
tant price for the use of money was
such that the merchant determined never
to borrow at such ruinous rates, and he
frequently used to say that nothing could
have SO fully convinced him as this
rather humorous proposal by Mr.. Cooper.

CANNON, THE WATCHDOG.

Since Representative Cannon made his
speech the other day, in which he said
that there would have to be great redue-
tions in the proposed appropriations if an
immense deficiency in the treasury was
to be prevented, he has been called the
watchdog of the treasury. 1t Is probable
that he would be glad to have that title
permanently, because it would tend to
make him popular with the people. 1t
would make him enemies among the mem
bers of Congress who have schemes for
getting money out of the treasury. but he
could afford TO have enemies of that kind.
The late Representative Holman was one
of the best known men in the country.
and one of the most popular, and yet he
never did much In Congress except to OBJ
ject 10 the passage of bills carrying APP
preparations. Mo doubt he saved the peo-
pie many millions of dollars.
An objector in the House is almost a
necessity. If there We're not some one to
put the brakes on millions of dollars of
the peoples money would be wasted every
session. The amount that will be appro-
priated at this session will be so great
that the Republican party will be charged
with extravaganza. The talk about bill
ion-doilar Congress defeated that party
once and it would not be surprising, from
the reckless manner in which appropria-
tons are being made If similar outcry
against extravaganza should defeat il
again In Hon. Joe Cannon the Republi-
|
are wise they will give him all the sup
port they can in his effort TO keep APP
preparations within reasonable limits.

CANADA,s SELFISH REQUEST.

In an interview published in our Dispatch
es yesterday Mr.. Gage, the Secretary of
the Treasury, in referring to our trade re-
lations with Canada, said that it seemed
impossible to so adjust those relations
with the Canadians as to give salts
faction to them. He spoke of Hon. John
Charlton, a member of the Canadian Par
lament, who a day or two ago made an
address before the Merchants Club of Chi
cago and said that Mr.. Charlton would
sweep away the national frontier and make
business as uniform and free between the
two countries as 1t is between the states
of the union. The secretary said that he
thought the day was a long way off when
the condition of affairs desired by Mr..
Charlton would exist.
AS a matter of fact Mr. Charlton does
not seem to be altogether consistent. He
wants practically free trade between the
United States and Canada, but at the
same time he admits that by commercial
union between the two countries, Canada
would be more benefited than the United
States. He says that since the treaty of re-
ciprocity between the two countries was
abrogated the exports from Canada to the
United States have steadily fallen off,
while the exports from the United States
10 Canada have largely increased, not
withstanding the fact that Canada has
preferential tariff In favor of Great Brit
ain.
In speaking of this preferential tariff
MIR. Charlton said that IL was not adopted
out of hostility to the United States, but
10 encourage freer trade between all the
members of the British Empire. In other
words he admitted that the preferential
tariff in favor of Great Britain was for the
purpose of bringing about such trade be-
tween England and Canada as now exists
between any two of our states
If we are exporting our products TO Cam
ada notwithstanding the preferential tariff
in favor of Great Britain why should we
grant Canada's request for a commercial
union simply that Canada might have the
benefit Of our market. She did not consult
our interests when she granted the prefer
entail tariff to Great Britain. Why then
should we consult her interest rather than
our own when. she asks us to let her have
the benefit of our markets free of any tar
if tax? The Secretary of the Treasury is
right in saying that it will be a good while
before the request of Canada is granted
the request presented by Mr.. Charlton.

The crusaders who are trying to stop the
killing of birds for their plumage, to be
placed on women's hats, are now extend
ing their good offices to include the goose,
whose plumage is taken to make the feath-
or bed. II is pointed out that the feather
bed is not healthful, and that it should be
rejected for sanitary reasons. Fewer per-
sons every year sleep on feather beds, it Is
claimed. The use of them is now princi-
pally confined 10 the rural districts. Per-
sons who live in cities and towns have
learned that other kinds of beds are more
comfortable more heathful and more con-
ducive TO sleep.

For more than quarter of a century
great things have been promised for COM
pressed air as motor power. The files
of the Morning News show that as far
back as 1872 certain promoters were sing
ing the praises of compressed air, which
was even then referred 10 as our ancient
friend However, the prediction that air
would take the place of steam seems now
nearer TO being verified than has ever
been the case heretofore Air motor cars
are to be run on some of the New York
city lines. and 1t is claimed that they can
be operated much more cheaply than cleo
trio cars.

Point in 1851 He served through the war

won several promotions, and in several
Indian uDrisings. after which he was still
further advanced for merit. He did not

The words Of some hymns are sometimes
misunderstood. and the misunderstanding
is often ridiculous, says the Philadelphia
Call. A good story with this as a theme
is being told. A young countryman had
promised 20 contribute 81 to a fund TO
buy music books as soon as he disposed
of a calf, but failed to do so. He went
TO choir practice one night little late,
and just as he entered the door the choir
began to sing the well-knewn Sunday
school song, The Half Was Never Told. d"
This sounded 20 him like THE Calf Was
Never Sod" and he started in to thrash
several of the young men in the choir.

A Philadelphia exchange says that on
every working day the mint in that city
turns out 10000 double-eagles of gold; and
further that there are no orders at
present for eagles or half-eagles" 1t may
be necessary to state for general informa-
ton that an eagle of gold is a coin of the
value of So and a double-eagleJ 500 These
coins, for obvious reasons, are not in gem
oral circulation Particularly is this true
OF the doubl eagle. The use Of gold as
money. therefore, will probably not be
very greatly popularized by the daily out

CURRENT COMMENT.

Commenting on the military convention
at Tampa, the Philadelphia Record Deml
says: This military convention was nm
fortunate in the particular period of time
chosen for its deliberations At the pres
ent juncture, when the reorganization and
increase of the regular army is the chief
object of administrative effort the sug-
gestions of the convention will scarcely
awaken an echo in official circles: but
they will unquestionably be renewed at a
later date, when the necessity of ultimate
dependence upon our citizen soldiery for
the public sec Lrity shall have been clear
ly demonstrated. To make as few actual
soldiers by profession as may be- and as
many disciplined fighting men in peaceful
pursuits as possible is the only true solu-
ton of the ever present problem of ma
tional defense under existing conditions
of public obligation and duty"
The Mobile Register (Dem.) says: '"The
Alabama legislature has been asked by
one of its members to vote to lower the
rate of legal interest from to per cent.
per annum, and not a few of the news
papers of the state applaud the idea as
having a tendency in some way TO benefit
the farmer Such an act however, will
not make money cheaper, but merely
serve to prevent some who can get money
at per cent. from getting any at all; in
short, ID viii diminish the amount of cap
ital loaned in this state at interest be-
cause capital will find better profit on it,
self elsewhere and this means that some
of the would-be borrowers must do with
out"
The Chattanooga Times Oem) says:
IF the Tennessee legislature wishes to
so down in history as the wisest body
that has assembled in the state since the
constitutional convention, Il will abolish
the effete and unjust system of levying
privilege taxes on merchants and the
ordinary avocatIous that receive no spe-
cial privileges, and cpnfine this tax to
those enjoying special rights, to itinerants
and to avocations that require special po-
ice protection or that enjoy special privi-
leges from the public"
