A GREAT AMERICAN.

II appears that the story that the
late Calvin Brice had hand on the
rope that pulled down the Vendome
Column is probably true. At any rate.
Mr. Brice's acquaintances say that
when the complications i'm Paris that
succcedel the Franco -Prussian war be-
came acute, Mr.. Brlce. who was then n
young lawyer in Ohio became extreme
ly interested, and felt that he must
have a hand I'm What was going on. He
could speak little or no French, but he
hied him to Paris. and got as much In
to the thick OF the scrimmage as he
could His friends say that hts narra-
tive OF his experiences was prodigiously
interesting. 1t seems that he was ready
for whatever was going; that he intro
duced himself to the Communist Lead
ers as an ardent friend OF freedom
from America, ana made himself ex-
ceedingly acceptable To them. His mad
equate command OF the French lam
guage limited his opportunities -ef- use

city in the form Of an order permitting
him 10 go where he pleased and do any
thing that seemed TO him timely and
eNpedicnt. SO indorsed he went about
and enjoyed himself, and when the
sport waned he came home
The writer of the American novel will
do well 10 take note OF Mr. Brice, and
try TO inform himself about his ups and
downs and ins and outs. includn~Nsiis
views of life and turns Of thought. He
seems 20 have shared In full measure
the conviction OF Tyson, the late Aus
tralian millionaire. that the little
game was better worth while in itself
than the mere acquisition of the stakes.

Great Britain continues To be the
greatest customer Of the United States.
despite the fact that our purchases
from her continue much below those of
former years. The figures of the Treas

calendar year exports and imports
show that our sales TO the United King

imports from Great Britain in 1895

Home Journal. "She should wait until
she is able to say with truth when she
gives her word, 4 would rather be your
wife than do or be anything else IN
the world If there is in the farthest
corner of her heart one little doubt that
the full revelation of love has come to
her the chances are that IL has not.
This is not to say that doubts never
arise in love. The happiest engage
ment in all the world is often not with
out a haunting fear attendant upon it.
Indeed. IL often happens that two SIM
gularly honest and earnest young peo-
pie have periods OF exquisite self-tor-
ture during the engagement time. and
the more mature and experienced they
both are the more likely this is TO hap

than in early youth the perils that may
come. Each realizes that though love
