PICTURESQUE ENGLISH.
Day mt the Cap

There was a tall young woman at the
aorist's. self-possessed young person,
with that sublime air of unquestioned
omniscience which the diploma Of a
small institution Of learning alone can
confer. / emphasize the small, for the
big universities do not confer ON
niscience. They go further and teach
their graduates what Socrates in his
wisest moment discovered-that they
know nothing. Anyway. this young
woman knew It all and the timid,
shrinking little elderly woman with her
didn't.
"Oh. Jenniel" the little woman said,
"ain't those chrysanthemums just love

Jennie looked vexed, but she correct
ed the plural with kind coudescension.

"these chrysanthemums are remarka-
bly, fine"
That one word condescension reminds
me of conversation / overheard the
other day between two worthy danes
at a table in a little restaurant in +
street. where shoppers most do congre-
gate at luncheon time. They were eat
ing mince pie and talking of old-world
aristocracy.
''These dukes and counts and all
that sort Of people, said the one, "why,
they're too stuck up to live. They just
marry these wealthy American girls
for their money, that's all. They don't
think we're near ms good as they are"

fee. 81 know it. They think-well,
they think it's the greatest condensa-
ton en- their part to marry an Ameri-
can-the greatest condensation"
The English of these two women, by
the way, throughout their entire con-
versation was picturesquely interest
ing in the extreme. Two words that
the elder of them, an Illinoisan, guess
from her accent used, appealed TO me
as unusually expressive and perfectly
new to me, though doubtless they
are defined at length in some Of the
appalling exhaustive new dictionaries.
They had n great deal to say of the
housekeeping of a certain Sally. sur

~ was somewhat of a slattern.

BIGGEST CHECK EVER DRAWN.
The Piece of Paper Called for the
Payment of n Mint of
Money.

There were made out last year two
checks which were and still are the
largest ever drawn in single financial
transactions, says the St. James Bud
get. The smaller of the two checks
established a record as the largest ever
drawn; but although it was for more
than S55,OOO,OOO, it did not long re-
main the largest. being soon eclipsed
by check for S622 100000.
These valuable pieces of paper were
drawn in connection with the last Chi
nesc loan, and the final installment Of
the war indemnity money which was
due TO Japan from China. and changed
hands in the parlor of the Bank oe
England, in the presence of the gov
ernor of the bank the plenipotentiaries
of the Chinese and japanese govern
ments, and the managers and sub
managers of the Hong-Kong and
Shanghai banking corporation.
Their record check YVES the largest
ever drawn by any banking firm. J.;

millions by piling the coins one on

NO ENNUI AT GUAM.
There VIII he Plenty OF Games ana
Hooks TO Interest Our Marines
while There.

Officers and members of the marine
corps probably will not be troubled
greatly with ennui at their far-away
post in the middle Of the Pacific. The
novelty Of life at the isolated little gov
eminent station will keep them con-
tented forseveral months. There will be
many things &c see and hear. To guard
against discomfort and WEAKNESS Of
spirit the government will have care
for the amusement of itsservants prac-
tically cut off, as they will be. from
communication with home and coun-
try. OF course there will be swim
ming and boating. but the sports
which the men enjoyed at home they
will also enjoy at the island of Guam.
For outdoor sports the government
will see that there is a supply Of balls
and bats, footballs and tennis racquets
and balls. During the long days when
the weather outside is inclement and
there are no drills the men will be able
to play checkers, chess cards and 9TH
er indoor games. Col. Perciyal {. Pope
has secured a great supply Of such out
fits, says the Boston Transcript.
There will be men who do not care
for sports and games. For such as
these there will be a well-st ocked Ii
brary. The government has provided
large stock of books. In addition.
there are many thousand volumes Of
books and periodicals given privately.
Some time ago Col. Pope made a re-
quest through the papers for dona-
items of books and light reading mat
ter. The response was immediate, and
80 generous that Col. Pope now Ie-
quests that no more be sent to the
navy yard. as ii will be impossible to
take them to Guam. From Boston and
vicinity came over 1000 volumes and
periodicals, and New York sent al
most as many more.
