ing only onc-half the home price ulti-
mate regret at the purchase abroad
is inevitable. Not so very long ago
your Englishman who could never sell
a bill of goods if attired in anything
other than the tall hat and frock coat
was wont to sneer openly at the Amer
lean straw hat, nogligee shirt and tan
shoes, but i'm the past two years our
British Brother has melted away from
his cast-iron custom to the extent OF
dOfiing his coat entirely between bust
ness calls and carrying in his moist
hand first the silk tile, then the once
despised straw headgear to suit the
occasion. AS to the British matrons
and maidens, to be honest and truth
full, English women are the worst
dressed Of their sex anywhere in the
world of civilization. Just why they
only know, for they surely have as
much money To spend on themselves as
any other nation. But they simply do
not know how to dress and worse than
all this, they will not learn.
When they bloom forth in all their
glory it is not a case of putting on
but rather of taking off their best, as
no matter how beefy or scrawny the
neck, your English woman must show
it when in evening dress and quite as
soon at restaurant table d'hOtc dim
ner as in the privacy of her own din
ing room or in her box at the opera.
And yet you will see these ladies so
secure i'm their blind belief that the
English never can be wrong actually

Things Different
in Old England
London Letter in the Sun.


WYE AMERICANS do almost abso-
w lutely nothing like our English
w cousins. oven our language,
although the same differs greatly in
the selection of words, for wherever
there are two words to express the
same meaning, the Englishman always
takes the one we never use. Both
words are used of course, equally cor
rect, which fact only intensfies the
difference. What we designate as the
upper end of a street, the Englishman
calls uphill. If you wish to buy oys-
ters in London you must look for a
shellfish warehouse: every part of an
English theatre except the balcony is
named differently from ours, and his
servant in the pit pays one-fifth as
much as an Englshman pays for stall
seats ten feet in front of him on the
same floor, one OF the best possible
Illustrations of a distinction without a
difference.

A writer says Sir William CORY
told him some time ago that on one
of his steamships coming from New
Zealand an albatross, supposed to have
been choked dead, kept in an ice box
at temperature which was always
much below freezing point, was found
to be alive at the end of 1t days Capt.
Reed, in command of the vessel in
question, says Nature. supplemented
the story with the statement that
the bird was supposed to be killed by
being strangled with twine tied as
tightly as possible around the neck.
This twine was not removed. The
beak was closed and tied and the legs
crossed behind the tail and tied II
was then wrapped in an old meat
cloth and put with three other birds
in the return box at the end of the
port snow trunk. It remained there
for certainly not less than ten DAYS.
On the snow boy complaining that the
bird ''grunted" when he went near it
the albatross was taken out, when IL
was found that il could move its neck
about and open Its beak and the eyes
were open and lifelike. The lower
half of the body and the legs were
frozen hard. The fastening on the
beak had come of. II was alive for
two hours after being taken out and
