WILL STUDY AMERICA.

French Newspaper Man to Make a
Extended Investigation.
Jules Hurot Of the Figaro, one Of the
most distinguished, cleverest and kind
lest of the newspaper men of Paris,
left Havre recently on the steamship
La TOuraine for New York.
Before sailing he said that he was
going to America without plan OF pref
udice. He hopes to see President Roose-
velt and will visit all the big industrial
centers. One Of the objects Of bis trip,
he explains, is to show the Americans
that the French are becoming more in
terested In the United States every
day, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. In
order that his countrymen may know
the Americans better he will spend
three months studying the industrial,
commercial and social habits Of the
people Of the North American republic.
He may lecture; he does not know.
Few men are better equipped than
Jules Hurot for the work the Figaro
has asked him to undertake. One Of
his most recent achievements WAS IRE
markable Series Of Contributions OF,
the Social Questions Of Europe" for
which he Travelled all over the cont.
nent, interviewing all sorts Of people

The attraction of mans character
is apt to be outlived, like the attraction
OF his body, and the power of love
grows feeble in it's turn, as well as the
power to inspire love in others. 1t is
only with a few rare natures that
friendship is added to friendship, love
to love and the man keeps growing
rlcher in affection-richer, mean, as
a bank may be said to grow rich, both
giving and receiving more-after his
head is white and his back weary, and
he prepares to 60 down into the dust
OF death.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

The enthusiasm of the thoroughgoing
lover Of Browning takes some surpris-
Ing turns. The author of I'm Tuscan
Garden tells story concerning Dr.
Furnival, one Of the founders of the
Browning society.
A young relative of the Englisliwo-
man in London was looking out at one
time for bachelor chambers in block
OF fats. The secretary of the company
to whom they belonged intimated that
the testimony of two householders as
to his vent paying capacity would be
required. The applicant gave the Eng
hshwoman's name as one and DIR. Fur
nival for the other.
DIR. Furnivafs reply, after a glowing
panegyric on the merits of the appli
cant, wound up by congratuiating the
company on getting as tenant man
who was not only gentleman and
good fellow, but a member of the
Browning society"

WHY INDIANS PAINT.

Once an old Apache Indian wher
asked the question why his neorI.

end:
Long ago when men were weak and
animals were big and strong a chief Of
the red men who lived in these noun.
tains went out to get a deer, for his
people were hungry.
after walking all day he saw a deer
and shot at it, but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded a mountain
Hon, which was also after the deer,
When the lion felt the sting of the ar
row, he jumped up and bounded after
the man, who ran for his life.
HE was almost exhausted. and
when he felt his strength giving way
be fell to the ground. calling on the big
bear, who, you know, is the GRANDPA
ther of men, to save him.
1.-THE big bear heard the call and saw
that to save the man he had to act
quickly, so he scratched his foot and
sprinkled his blood over the man.
Nov, you must know that no ami
NAL will eat of the bear or taste of his
blood. So when the lion reached the
man he smelled the blood and, turned
away, but as he did'so his foot scraped
the face of the man, leaving the marks
Of his claws on the blood smeared face
when the man found that he was
uninjured. he was so thankful that he
left the blood to dry on his face and
never washed it at all, but left it until
II peeled off.
Where the claws of the lion scrapcd
It off there were marks that turned
brown in the sun, and where the
blood stayed on it was lighter Now
all men paint their faces that way
with blood and scrape it off in streaks
when they hunt or 60 to war"

THE CARDS OF DOMINICA.

distinct Monaghan character, and il
would be hard to distinguish Carib in

ty years ago a Chinaman who had
drifted to Dominica declared the Caribs
to be his own people and married a
pure bred Carib woman. The resultant
child showed no deviation from the ma

Today they have dropped their man

fury they secured the Spanish main in
search of human food, and from Porto
Rico alone are said to have taken more
than 5000 men to be eaten. Though
Spaniards, Frenchmen, Dutchmen, ne
groes, or Arrowaks, were all meat to
them, yet these Caribs seem to have
shown preference for certain national
tiles. Davis, for instance, in his His
tory of the Caribby Islands," tells us
that ''the Caribbeans have tested of all
the nations that frequented them and
affirm that the French are the most
delicate and the Spaniards are hardest

his jaunts in st. Vincent, appears to

had an early career that in many ways
recalls the early struggles of Jacob A.
Riis. He ran away from home when
lad and for years found life mighty
hard grabbing. He worked as a day
laborer, sawyer, a cook and lighter
man. Then he heard that free instruc-
ton could be obtained at Kazan. and,
having no money to pay for his jour-
ney, he walked there, a distance of
over 600 miles. Then he found he had

evidence In the resolutions that he has done any,
thing except 10 save the faces OF premiers like
Sir Wilfrid Laurier. whose home constituencies
were expecting preferential treatment on a
large scale The colonies are graciously encour-
aged TO scale down their tariffs for the benefit OF
British exporters; but preferential treatment IS
TO remain essentially one-sided, and the imperial
government is left uncommitted. even Mr.

calls for periodical conferences at intervals not

ment in government contracts. Other resolu-
uons are concerned with shipping subsidies, the
coastng trade. the metric system, patents

Chamberlain had sounded. a warning against
the danger of allowing foreigners TO take pos

cables is the first move toward the permanent
acquisition of the "aIl red system which has
been established in the empire.
With all the aniable talk IL the English press
about the shires of Greater Britain and the
Titan's brood over seas the fact remains that
the imperial circle has not been squared. A
series of complex questions has been raised and
nothing has been settled, and, while provision
has been made for the periodical assembling OF
the premiers in London and. while writers with
expansive imaginations can forecast the final
evolution of a Parliament for the empire from
these informal consultations at the Colonial Of
flee, II is evident that Mr.. Chamberlain's ardor
and too sanguine optimism have cooled. and
that no other British statesman takes hope
full view of imperial federation. There is little
altruism and much enlightened self-interest in
the revised ideas OF the Colonial Secretary re-
specting the council for the empire. The door
is left open for colonial statesmen, but above 1t
is the legend: only those who are adequately
taxed for imperial defence can hope to enter
here" The road is also left clear for systematic
reductions of colonial tariffs against British
merchandise; but there is no prospect for pref
erences in favor OF the colonies. much less for
the establishment of an imperial zollverein on
comprehensive lines. On the sentimental side
imperial federation remains attractive as

AND RowBoATs REAP HARVEST.
Because the Meeker-ave bridge across the New
town Creek in Greenpoint, is out Of commission
for repairs more than one thousand persons are
now obliged TO pay five cents to be carried across
the creek by boaJmen, who have taken advantage
of the situation. The men, whose daily work calls
them across the creek are those employed in the
factories at Laurel HILL who can i'll afford to pay
the extra 10 cents every day The only alternative
the men have is to walk around through Bliss
Vile distance of three miles, journey Tor which
they have no time.
The bridge is of the cantaleVen type. and for
some time the machinery has not been in good
working order. The repairs on 1t cannot be com-
pleted before Thursday or Friday. Then pedes-
trians may cross again, but vehicular travel will
be stopped for a longer time the panking on the
bridge is TO be entirely replaced.
