Paris has always been France. All
the great movements of the country
have been centered here, whether po.
litical, religious, social, literary or ar
tistic; so that any attempt to trace the
history of the city launches one imme-
diately into the stndy of the nation
while an effort to master the history Of
the French people sends one to Paris.
One realizes this particularly when
he comes to study the lives of her great
men and women. They may have been
born in the south or east, or north or
west, but to rise to the first rank they
were obliged to seek the capital. It
was there they sought instruction,
formed relations. began their careers,
played their parts.-Scribner's.

LEARNING FROM AMERICANS.
Freed from HIs cumbersome
Trappings.

Yon know we surprised Europe
when our boys threw their coats away
and fought in their shirt sleeves in
Cuba. Well, says a writer in Leslie's
Weekly, the British have not come to
that pass yet, but only the other day
an officer said to me: II wish they'd
let our men fight as yours did, in fan
mel shirts, instead of marching them
to battle all harnessed up and weighted
down like horses!"
Every day see more and more signs
of an approach to reason in this mat
ter. To begin with the swagger guards
and the splendid lancers have already
become parts of the dirtiest army in
the world. The dirtiest, because there's
no such thing as keeping clean. Hun
dreds of one-time dandies have long
since ceased to shave, and, until we
came to Modder river, man who
washed all over was sure to boast of
it and be pointed out to the others.
The officers without swords and
without stars are as like their men as
two peas; in fact, we are like an army
of dustmen with no differences among
us except that Lord Methuen and Gen.
Pole-Carew are still as tidy as if they
were at home. But they are generals,
and ought to be marked men in every
way.
AS l walk through the camp / notice
more and more men in scft slouch hats.
They have lost their helmets in battle
or worn them out; but the wonder is
that in an old world army they are al
