Every year tourist travel to this country
grows in volume, and the season tends to
begin earlier. Just how much money tour
lists leave In the country it is impossible to
say with any approach to exactitude, but
1t must be great. This money is just so
much clear gain to the country, and serves
to increase the prevailing prosperity for If
the great sums sent here by investors make
business good and Oil the machinery of
trade and finance. the smaller amounts
brought by travellers, swelling into a very
respectable aggregate, stimulate trade, give
profits to the hotel keepers transportation
companies and a small army of people who
thrive during the tourist season. 1t Is said
that Italian cities take in from European
and American tourist travel $50 900 600 a
year. This seems exaggerated, but notori-
ously many famous old cities are kept alive
by the money spent by sightseers Those
ancient cities. filled with monuments of art
and enjoying a relatively mild winter ell

every bit Of antiquity, for no one may de-

Children in Flats.
From the New York Times.

How much of the tendency In the direction
of race suicide is the natural and inevi-
table outgrowth Of our inclination as a peo-
pie to live in multiple apartment dwellings
when opportunity to do so offers is an in
teresting subject for speculation. Theoreti-
cally. and under certain conditions, practi-
cally life in apartments Is ideal" 1t be-
comes fmpracticable when there are small
children in the family for more reasons
than could be enumerated. Even when
those who are responsible for the children
are willing to accommodate themselves to
the inconvenience of their noise and other
juvenile characteristics. cotenants may not
be so, and as rule distinctly are not. This
Is usually as true of cotenants with many
troublesome children Of their own as Of
those without children. Hence many land
lords and agents discriminate against ten
ants having children. and 1t Is sometimes
difficult for such people to find desirable
apartments as well as to retain them when
secured Public sympathy was profoundly
excited few days ago by the story OF a
woman with seven assorted children who
had been invited to vacate the apartments
she occupied and could not secure others on
a truthful representation OF the facts. 1t
does not appear. however. that this sympa-
thy. took the shape Of advantageous Offers
from owners or agents.

The Alexander Column.
From the Art Amateur.

rom tne Art Amateur.
The young King Of Italy Is a good judg1
OF art, and on his visit to the car was
struck by nothing so much as the Alex
ander column before the winter palace in
st. Petersburg. His own capital possesses
the famous Trajan and Antonine pillars.
besides fifteen great Egyptian monoliths
shaped hundreds Of years before Moses was
born: but the Alexander column is the
largest single stone ever cut and polished
by human hands. 1t Is said that when
Alexander 1 entered Paris with the allied
sovereigns. as victor. he looked up at
the Vendome column. bearing Napoleon on
high.
God forbid" the young emperor exclaim-
ed. that I should ever occupy so giddy
place! No man is worthy Of 1t. To me 1t
seems profane. I have learned the little
ness Of even the greatest of mankind"
After his death his brother Nicholas I,
remembering his words. decided to erect a
unique monument to his memory. He gave
orders that a shaft eighty-four feet long
should be cut from the granite rock. I'm
possible as the feat seemed, 1t was more
than accomplished From the mountain

which the literal minded quarrymaster
quickly reduced to the required length. An
eyewitness says that Victor Emmanuel III
OF Italy looked at the magnificent shaft
wistfully. Rome is building a huge monu-
ment to his grandfather. Will It, when
finished, bear comparison with that great
granite shaft topped by its bronze figure OF
religion, erected to the memory OF the car
who was great enough to be humble.

Hayes Position Unique.
Mr.. Hayes position Is unique For years
he was member of the house of dele
gates and the senate. Then he was classed
as an organization man. In 1895. when
Mr.. German began the greatest fight of his
life, Mr.. Hayes was a candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor. His
chief claim to recognition was the ngnt
he had made in the senate for new as
sessment Of property. He pushed the bill
through both houses, but 1t was vetoed by
Governor Frank Brown.
When Mr.. Hayes was turned down for
the nomination for governor he dramati-
cally picked up his hat, SO 1t was reported.
and left the conference room with the VOW
that he would devote the remainder OF
his life to defeating Mr.. Germans aspira-
tons.
Four years later Mr. German and his
city colleagues were looking for mayor
atty candidate who could command the
support of the independents because OF
his supposed opposition to Mr.. German
Mr. Hayes was selected by Mr.. German,
Mr. Rasin, Ex-Governor Frank Brown and
others to head the city ticket. He got the
nomination and was elected. AS soon as
he was inaugurated he began to build up
a political organization through his APP
pointments. 1t is upon this organization
that he is relying for a denomination.
Mr.. Hayes administration has been sue
cessful from a business point of view, but
his brusque manner and his storming at
some of the most prominent citizens who
have visited his Office have made for him
SO many enemies that his fight Is an up
hill affair. The regular democratic or
ganization Is bitterly arrayed against him
because of the rebuffS which 1t has re-
ceived at his hands.

SWAPPING THE FINGERS.
The Curious Habit Aids Mental Pro-
cess in Many Cases.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
Ibid you ever notice the peculiar habit
some men have of swapping their fingers
while trying to recall something which has
escaped their minds for the moment?'
asked a man who keeps a keen lookout
for the curious in human nature. Now.
here is curious study. and one which. II
pursued may throw much light on a very
interesting subject Anything relating to
memory, the retentiveness of the human
mind. Is always of interest to me, and I
have noted with much concern these curl
Gus physical manifestations when the mind
picture becomes so obscure that its lines
are lost. Why should a man snap his
fingers when he temporarily forgets a
thing? Does this physical movement aid
the mental processes? Does the fact prove
the material basis of the mind? 1t must
show very intimate connection between
the two. After all. the intimacy be-
and personally 1 have always believed in
the theory which teaches us that psy-
chology has physiological basis. and can
have no other.
The simple habit of swapping the fingers
when ones memory fails for the moment
| would seem to offer ample proof Of the
fact. Curiously enough. this same condi-
ton, physical movement. will manifest
| itself In many ways under similar circum-
stances. All men do not snap their fingers
when there Is mental lapse which they
are seeking to overcome. They will find
other ways of bridging the gap. One man
will pat his foot when he forgets tempo
rarily. Another will bite his lip or place
his finger against his temple. or rub one
hand across his forehead. or resort to some
other effort to stimulate his tagging men,
DRY. Why is this? Is ones memory really
aided by these physical movements? 1t
must be, else humanity would have dropped
them long ago. Almost every man, when
he forgets something. name for instance,
which Is right on the end Of his tongue,
will make some kind Of physical effort to
conjure the proper image from its hiding
place in the brain cells. Why 1t is I do
not know. 1 know merely that 1t happens,
and l suppose it answers some good pur-
poser

words which have been caught up into the
literary language from provincial speech,
and the verb Ito yammer," as a corre-
spondent points out is not a new word, but
has been long In use In Scotland and the
north of England. There is an obvious
connection between this synonym OF within

And from the latest edition of Webster we
