 City life, with it's artificial condi- lions, certainly would be unbearable were 1t not for the breathing spaces here and there in the desert of build lngs, were it not for the flower and woodland beauty so carefully planned and cherished by our city fathers; who to-day, influenced by the cry for hygienic outdoor life for both children and grown-ups, feel it incumbent to set apart park and boulevard where verdure, color and perfume may minis. ter to the universal craving for nat ural beatty.

WHEN VISITING IS PLEASURE
Well-Chosen House Party Offers Best Opportunity for Social
 Enjoyment.

After all is said and done, visiting friends must always be the most deli- cate of pleasures Of all forms of so- cial enjoyment, well-chosen house. party is perhaps the most complete and satisfactory, writes Eliot Gregory il Visiting in Country House." in Gen. tury. It is only during such short va- cations (and on board ship) that the lgalling harness of everyday routine drops completely from one's weary shoulders; 1t is there only that we es- cape entirely from thes myriod little cares and worries that lie in wait for us outside. On looking back. many ot Jus will be surprised to find how most of our truest friendships date from the occasion offered by visit One may go on meeting people for decade at formal entertainments, and at the end of that time know less of their real selves than is revealed by one short ''week-end' passed together under a congenial roof-especi if it be a home where the welcome is sincere and the liberty is complete, and where the host and hostess have taken the trouble to sleep from time to time in their guest chambers.

Scouting with the aid of the tele- phone has become one of the features of modern warfare, and is now being made use of by the Japanese, says the Western Electrician. Two scouts proceed from the lines toward the enemy; one, the observer, is a skilled army officer who makes the observa- tions which are transmitted back to headquarters through telephone line paid out from reel carried by an electrician of the signal corps. A ground return is used, the ground be ing made by thrusting bayonet or hatchet into the earth and attaching one end of the line to it.

FEATURE or CAMP LIFE.
Electric Lights Illuminate Surround ings of the Up-to-date
 Bivouac

Ten or 12 years ago, when New Workers first began to camp on Upper Saranac lake, they were content with simple little cabins in a small clear ing on the lake shore. They really camped and enjoyed the rough life, says the New York Tribune.
 Gradually the cabins have been dis appearing, and in their places have come substantial houses of two or more stories each. Hardwood floors took the place of rough boards, and enameled bathtubs, with hot and cold water and shower attachments, made their appearance.
 The camps began to have an average of one servant for every guest; the dinners were served i'll many courses on fine linen, with silver and cut glass. The camps" were camps in name only.
 The advent of electric launches made dynamos necessary, and it was little trouble to wire the camps" and put in electric lights. They replaced the camp lantern and brought the places almost to the same level of comfort as city house.
 T don't like these electric lights. :" said the wife Of one camp owner, a woman with some sense of the artistic and the eternal fitness of things.
 Whats the matter with them ?" ased the husband, who was proud of his electric plant
 Tt does not seem like camp" she said, ignoring the fact that she was dressed for dinner in a most expensive evening gown.
 After much thought the husband hit upon a scheme of pleasing his wifes sense of the artistic and at the same time keeping the electric lights.
 He had the lanterns cleaned up and in them the electric lights were strung The wife was satisfied and camp seemed more like camp.

Just Poke the Motorman.

Now that the open car season has come," complained a motorman on an Amsterdam avenue car, T not only have holes poked in my coat, but my back is covered with black and blue spots. As it is little inconvenient to summon the conductor from the front seat, the women occupying it invari- ably prod my back with the sharp end of their umbrellas or parasols as an indication that they want to get out at the next corner.
 Don't bother to signal the conduc- tor,' I've often heard one woman say to another; just poke the motorman.
 "And when the ferrule of an umbrei- Ia comes in contact with my spinal column and l look around and re- monstrate, they remark:
 "fAren't these motormen just the most disagreeable creatures you ever saw?' '"--N. r. Times.

The commercial development of India was the subject discussed at an influential meeting in London the other day Sir Lepel Griffin said that what India wanted was an infusion of western capital upon large scale. He maintained that progress had been blocked by the educational policy of the government, and that the field for investment would be restricted until large class of trained native artisans and engineers had been ere ated. The Indian, he says, was high ly intelligent, but untrained; that was why manufacturing industries were stunted and feeble and could not absorb more capital. Let the Indian government put aside a reasonable um-say E2OO, OOO-for foreign schol- arships, and send 2,0Oo young men of 16 or IT years of age for five years training to England-not in universi7 ties, but in workshops, in shipbuild- ing yards, in agricultural schools, in manufactories-- they would re- turn to India eager to improve the native industries and in their turn teach in local schools and workshops an army of their fellow countrymen, who would forget the idle dreams of the law court and the platform for the nobler work of industrial deyel- opment. Then capital would flow to India, because there would exist the brains and the training which could make 1t fructify and increase. Sir Patrick Playfair, large merchant said the governm ent ought to remem- Der that capital was easily scared by frontier wars, plague and famine, and unnecessary, legislation. Moreover, it ought to impress upon all it's officers that the prime motive at the bottom of the whole British relation with Tn. dia was commerce. When this was understood openings for capital would be created.

Testing Coffee for Ganuinsnsas.

Genuine roasted coffee, no matter what quality, will not impart it's color to cold water, nor will the bean lose its smooth surface or hard, tough con- sistency when subjected to a soak ing of any duration; whereas chicory and other limitations become soft and spongy when soaked and render the water muddy. so that 1t is only neces- sary to give the suspect bath to de- termine it's genuineness. Of course, the bean must be tried before grind ing and the water must be cold, other- wise the test will not be conclusive.

Either there are too many princes
 in the world or too few princesses.
 Anyway there is trouble in getting the princes married off. For example
 the German emperor has six sons,
 three of whom are of marriageable prince, it seems very desirable to get into matrimonial harness as soon as
 possible, for the amiable heir to the German throne seems to have a pen chant for falling in love with some girl beneath his rank, once each fort night, says an exchange. Kaiser Will helm has enough to do in looking after the affairs of the entire uni verse without this additional burden. So it is his wish that his too impress sionable eldest son should get tied up as soon as may be, so that the crown princess can see that there are no further plebian entanglements, with the inevitable scandals relating there to. But when it comes to finding eligible candidates for the future queen of all the Germans the list ap- pears discouragingly small. Tn the first place, these future daughters in law must be of Lutheran faith or of some denomination which they are willing to renounce in favor of the state religion of Prussia. Then the kaiser is not popular as possible father-in-law. AS everybody knows, he likes his own way even better than the ordinary king (and no one could
