exertions and on his tact and gifts of per-
suasion what use he makes OF his opportu-

reciprocate favorS shown-not in quantity,
perhaps, but at least in quality The lead
ing correspondents must have homes Of

Official and unofficial world at stated in

comes must be large enough to admit that.
Their annual expenditures cannot be less
than 5000 and may exceed $4,000. Tho
London Times, for instance. pays its corre-
spondents on a liberal scale, salaries of
5000 TO $4,000 being the rule. Yet the ma

regular deficiencies in their exchequer out
of their own private funds. Money in the
Paris and Rome, Berlin being next, and
Vienna and st. Petersburg being the most
expensive places.
The life OF the American correspondent
on the continent of Europe is a life inter-
esting and fascinating enough in It's way,
and it broadens the mental horizon as, per-
haps no other occupation does. But IL Is a

Will n. Harden, while gathering material
in the Georgia mountains for his novel, one
day ran across little congregation on the
banks of creek. A country parson. with
out his coat, stood in a group Of candidates
for baptism by immersion, while all about
on the ground sat the spectators. The
preacher began with the usual defense of
his particular mode Of baptism. and was
making long-winded talk when a Meth
ofist parson rose in the crowd and began
a rather sharp argument against the re-
marks of the first speaker. Among the
candidates for immersion was a tall, gaunt
woman whose hair was tightly twisted in
a little knot behind her head. 1t was plain
from the way she kept rolling and unroll-
Ing her poke bonnet in her hands. and the

The Difference Between American,
English and French Nerves.
Harper's Weekly.

1t may be asked II American domestic
habits have not something to do with the
frequent breakdown of American nerves.
In perhaps the majority of cases. in cities
as to give the business man no rest what
ever until he gets into bed. 1t has come
within our observation that, in our civili-
zation, there are three systems Of living
out the ordinary working day. There is the
French system, which is that of the con-
tinent of. Europe in general: there is the
English system; and there is the American
system. The last combines the chief fea-
lures of the other two. The Englishman
goes to work late and comes away early;
but during working hours he works all
the time. His luncheon is light, and
eaten hastily-perhaps at his desk. For
this he makes up by leisurely breakfast
and a leisurely. dinner: while he has the
part of the afternoon to himself. The
Frenchman, on the other hand, goes to
work early and works hard till noon. The
American is apt to underrate the energy
with which the Frenchman works while he
is working. But at noon work ceases, and
he sits down to an abundant meal, well
cooked, well served, and eaten with appe-
tite and in peace. After his dejeuner he
has his petit verre, his smoke, and per-
haps a game of dominoes or cards; while
he discusses politics, the arts, or the topics
He takes his two hours of refreshment
as a matter of course: he has no prick
ings Of conscience at wasting time, nor
SedrcnlnSS Oh nSdIC lest someone else
should get ahead OF him." Even the la
'borer, who in America eats his cold midday
meal in ditch or behind pile of boards,
generally sits down in Europe to a decent
table, deity served, and, however coarse
his food, has time to eat otherwise than
as the lower animals. Then, with mind
cleared and cheered, and body strengthened
and refreshed. laboring man and business
man return to their tasks, to work hard
and late. The American system, as we
have said, combines the chief features of
the other two. The American goes to work
early, like tho Frenchman; like the French
man. he works hard; like the Frenchman,
ne works late; but like the Englishman, he
takes no time to himself at midday. His
luncheon is the merest snack" it is often
cooked badly and served worse; 1t is
oftener still, perhaps, drawn from a paper
in his pocket, and not served at ali. AS
for any intellectual repose or mental dis
traction from the grim fact OF work-not
only is 1t not thought of, but the very
idea would be laughed 20 scorn. From the
moment of setting forth to the moment
OF return mind and body alike are de-
prived of their proper nourishment and rest.
1t is scarcely strange, therefore, that
Europe should be rich in elegant Ameri-
can widows and orphans and the church
yards at home too full of young mems
graves.

ture Of the official statement OF the New

the traceable movements of money dur
