The London Bus Driver

rom Harper Magazine.
Catch a driver when a clumsy drayman
has fouled his wheels or blocked his way
or when a rival bus has stolen a march on
him. Then you will understand the Lon
doner's boast that the cockney is the readi-
est, the wittiest, of all his majestys sub
jects. The tongue is not his only weapon.
L remember once starting from the Man
sion House on a bus the driver of which
had been maddened by some remark of tho
conductor on the bus just in front of him.
The two belonged to rival companies and
We're travelling the same route. They
talked it over with pungency and zest from
the Mansion House to st. Paurs. At the
top of Ludgate hill, one OF the regular
stopping places, the driver made up his
mind he could stand it no longer He got
down from his seat and pummeled the con-
ductor heartily for two minutes. 1t re-
freshed him so much that at the next stop
ping place he did it again. By the time
Charing Cross was reached 1t had become
a habit with him. Whenever the buses
stopped there would be brisk set-to, the
intervals between the halts being filed
with an exchange of prophecies as to what
would happen at the next.

wATERPRooFING ROADS.
The Use of Tar Prevents Dust and
Saves Wear and Tear.

From the New York Herald
Automobile owners and the driving pub
lie as well will watch with interest ex-
pertinent made at Westfield, n. j., In the
use of tar sprinkIed over a macadamized
roadbed to abolish those twin nuisances,
dust and mud.
In France this scheme has been tried, It
is said for some time, with much Sattsfae
ton to the automobilists. The plan is SIM
pie. The surface of the macadamzed road
is cleared of dust and loose material. Then
boiling tar is sprinkled over the road light
", and the screenings put back and rolled
The tar sinks into the hard bed, binding
the stone anew and forming a new face on
top 1t is claimed that it also waterproofs
the roadbed and adds new life to it.
MacadamiZed roads turn into dust and
blow away. RutS are formed by constant
wear in soft spots, and when it rains a
pasty mud collects that is just objec
tionable as is the dust. The tar sprinkling
is intended to do away with all this.
In the experiment a piece of an ordinary
country road, sixteen feet wide, just out
side Westield N. J., was taken. Two sec
tons, about 900 feet long, were used. On
one the tar was run over the roadbed with
the dust and screenings just as they lay. On
the other the road was swept to the hard
surface and then the tar applied. In
both instances the results seemed to meet
with the approval OF the roadmaking eX-
perts present.
The tar was put on in very crude fash
ion by hand from a big watering can. 1t
had penetrate nearly an inch after being
on the road or'y three hours and in a
short time after it was laid there was no
tracking on it, and it did not splatter on
wheels driven over 1t.
H. W. Merkel, chief forester and con-
structor of the geological section of Bronx
Park said he was very favorably impressed
by what he saw, although the conditions
were most unfavorable. He is going to try
it on the Bronx Park a section of East
River walk, along the banks of the Bronx.
section of Cropsey avenue, Bath Beach,
Brooklyn, is also being experimental on,
under the supervision of Director of High
ways Fort.
The cost of treating a road in this way
with tar is estimated at between $4O0 and
$500 a mile for a road sixteen feet wide.
This would require 5000 gallons of tar to
the mile

the Republic of Louisiana" which had Its
tragic little existence some years before
Patrick Henry and Sam Adams were talk

When France. in l164, ceded Louisiana
to Spain, the subjects of King Louis XIV
objected to transfer without their consent.
The local government submitted the ques-
ton to the council, which. under the lead
OF Nicholas Chauvin de Lafreniere, rose in
revolt. Lafreniere called a convention of
the people at New Orleans. while the new
Spanish governor was on his way to the
colony. and the convention selected a dele
gate to go to Paris to dissuade the French
king from his course. Louis XIV however.
rebuffed the delegate and sent back word
that the people must recognize the au-
thority of Spain.
1t was then that the people of Louisiana
resolved on radical course. on the night
of October 2S. 1I6S, the rebels took posses

INVASION OF VIENNA.
Shop Established for Exclusive Sale of
American Shoes.

A significant tribute to the superiority of
American shoes over all other makes has
been paid in Vienna, where a shop entirely
devoted to the sale of shoes of American
make has recently been opened This un-
dertaking in the heart of Austria. a coun-
try noted for its shoe trade and the quality
of these articles, is especially worthy of
note and has been made the subject of a
report by Consul General Rublee at Vienna.

Cheapness Of their shoes and their good

competition. But the growing demand for
American shoes which has resulted In the
establishment Of a shop where no other
kinds are sold shows the fallacy OF this
presumption and proves that American

During the past few years American
shoes have been sold in some Of the shops

1uxUR1Es FOR SERVANTS.
Private Baths and Suites for Them in
Some of the Newest Houses.
From the New York Sun.

From the New YORK SUM-
The new palaces built in this city every
year do not supply luxuries for their own
ers hone. The employees are also looked
after and provision is made for their COM
fort to a degree never known anywhere
else.
In one of the new houses on an uptown
street near tn avenue the men servants
quarters consist of three small rooms on
the top floor. Adjoining them is a small
tiled room with a shower, a plunge bath
and sprays. In the same room are three
basins in order that the men may all wash
simultaneously, if they want to.
Downstairs adjoining the entrance hall
is another sleeping room for a man serv-
ant, and it has much light and air as
any In the house, in addition to having a
private BATH
The rooms for the women servants are
on the top floor and accommodate six
They are so arranged that two sleep in
each room and have the use of a bath
room. In addition to these apartments
there are two rooms and a bath to be used
by any servant who happens to be ILL.,
These two rooms are SO situated that
servant in them may be quarantined as
completely as II out of the house.
Adjoining the nursery and separated
from it only by dressing room is the
apartment of the head nurse, which is, of
course, supplied with its private bath. Near
the room of the mistress of the house is
the room of her maid, and it has the same
convenienceS as the others.
Thus are the servants of the wealthy
housed. When it is taken into considera
ton that these rooms are kept In order and
supplied with everything needful by the
housekeeper the lot of the household serv
ant in the United States seems more desir-
able than ever
Most houses in which a large staff of
servants are employed have also a sitting
room for their diversion. OF course, not
all Of the new houses built now have such
an equipment as this one. 1t Is intended
for young couple married only year
ago. The brides mother gave it as her
wedding present. and it will cost 5000, 600

MEXICO AS A RESORT.
Change That Time and Railroads Have
Made in Our Sister Republic.

From Modern Mexico.
Those of us who remember this city as
it was twenty years ago, when neither
the Central nor the National was COM
pleted. can bear witness to something
different that was felt in the very air of
the Mexico of that time. 1t seemed to be
imbued with a deeper restfulness. and
the writer, as he recalls this capital in
the spring of 1883, thinks of 1t as a place
cut off from the busy modern world,
sort of harbor of refuge where the stern
eXgencies of competition had not yet
spoiled the joys of life. The Alameda. in
particular, though sadly neglected as
compared with it's ~present state, was
symbolical of the Mexico of that time.
People spent the days on the benches un-
der the trees without any discomforting
self-reproach of occupations neglected.
Law students. happy though penniless,
repaired thither nominally to study, but
really to chat for hours on end or to
ogle the nurse maids Even the big yell
low butterflies seemed to wing the air in
the fresh, delicious mornings, or through
the long, sunny afternoons, more lazily'
than now.
The difference between the Mexico of
today and the Mexico of that time lies
not so much in the material transforma-
ton of the city that has been accom-
plished. but in it's mental atmosphere.
Mexico was not then the busy cosmopoll-
tan place that 1t is today. Life flowed in
a placid stream as it still flows in such
interior cities as MOrelia and Zamora,
which, though touched by the railways,
have not been meta norphosed by them.
Yet all this is perceptible only to the
persons who have long resided in Mex
leo: TO strangers frSm the states states this his
rest cure as it was Twenty years ago.
The fast pace, the: pace that kills, of
northern cities IS unknown here. The
southern charm and the arts that give
grace and elegance to. life are still prom
inent and though" a. large amount of
business is now dopenh here at this CAPT.
tai. which is the commercial as well as
the political center of the republic, no
one is so ABSORBED in the pursuit of
wealth as to be fnsiehsible to the amen
tiles of existence: The busiest man has
time to shake hands and exchange greet
ings with his friends; IT is probably this
social geniality, making the people of
this city seem like one big family and
causing each individual of the commu-
nifty to feel that he occupies distinct
place in the esteem and considera ton of
others, that constitutes one of the
charms of life in Mexico. -

possible to assemble a class of from thirty
five to forty members at each session, and
the outlook is most promising for furnishing

medical officers to fiji the corps up to the

The Naval Hospital.
In regard to the naval hospital in this
city. the surgeon general says:
This hospital budding has long been con-
sidered untitled for hospital purposes. and
in conformity with THIS bureaus recommen-
dation it is to be PLACED out of commission.
The Fifty-seventh Congress appropriated
$4,000 for a new fl0spital structure, to be
erected the grounds of the Museum of
Hygiene and MedicalSchool, site admira-
bly, adapted to the purpose. and providing
many features peculiarly appropriate. The
plans for this new institution have been
prepared with much1eare and study. and 1t
is believed that model hospital and a
building of architectural beauty will be
added in the near future to the public build
ings of the city of Washington.
THE total number of patients in this hos
pital in 1892 was 262. seventeen remaining
from last year, and 30 being admitted. OF
these 2O2 were returned to duty. twenty-six
discharged from the service. two trans
ferred to other hospitals two to Govern
ment Hospital for Insane. and twenty-seyen
carried over to the next year. There were
three deaths during the year.

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
But IT HAS PROVED OF INTEREST AND VAL.
CE TO THOUSANDS.

UE TO THOUSANDS.
Common sense would suggest that IL wishes
to become fleshy and plump it only result from
the food eat and digest, and that food should be
albuminous or flesh forming food like eggs. beef
steak, and cereals; in other words the kinds Of
food that make flesh are the foods which form the
greater part Of daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while We eat enough ani
generally too much. the stomach from abuse and
overwork, does not properly digest and assimllste
It. which is the reason many people remain thin
and under weight; the digestive organs do com
petely digest the food-forming beefstesk and eggs
and similar wholesome food.
There thousands of such who are really
flrmed dyspeptics, although they may have par
tieular pain Inconvenience from their stomacbs.
II such persons would lay their prejudices aside
and make a regular practice OF taking, after each
neal one OF two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. the
food would be quickly and thoroughly digested. be-
cause these tablets contain the natural peptones
and diastase which every weak stomach lacks, and
by supplying this want the stomach is soon enabled
to reach its natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form OF
fesh-forming food. meat, bread and potatoes.
and this is the reason they quickly build up.
strengthen and invigorate thin, dyspeptie men,
women and children.

THE MODERN FRENCH GrRL.

How astonished would the modern French girl be were she told not to take the leading part in conversation, not to gfggie loudly, not to set her arms akimbo, and never to talk pri- vately with. a young gentleman! She would think such recommen endations perfectly ridiculous as preventing all poss1ble dirtations, for the art of fir- tauOn is never at it's best unless prac- uced in private But forty years ago, when parents deemed that marriage was not a proper subject for the thoughts of their daughters, filtration --even as word--was unknown in France At that time simplicity in dress was the order of the day for young maidens, and even conferred a cerTa1n distinction, being carried as far as possible among the aristocracy. There were special light silks and in- expensive trinkets for jeunes files, set with corals, enamels and pearls, among which the tiniest of diamonds would never have been tolerated any more than costly laces, furs or elaborate trimming.
 At glance it was easy to ascertain by the style of dress whether a young woman was married or not, whereas, it is not by any means so easy now, the same satins, velvets, feathers and jewels being worn alike In both cases. And it is not any easier to guess from the behavior in society, for it may happen that the conversation is taken up and carried on by the girls in their desire to shine and to attract atten- tion--the married women being silenced and ignored in the midst of the excite ment and amusement artfully created by free sallies, unrestrained laughter and much attitudinizing.
 No doubt the conventional restric- tions of 40 years ago were somewhat excessive, and kept French girls till after marriage in state of prolonged childhood; nevertheless it remains to be seen whether the rapid change which has supervened is real gain, for if it has remedied some evils of the old system it has also engendered new ones, and on that account many thoughtful French parents are now seriously disquieted about the future of their daughters. rs.-Scribner's Maga- zine.
