The Steamboat and an "If."

II Robert Fulton had succeeded
in proving to Napoleon that his
vention the history of the whole
world might have been changed. A
steamboat was a revolutionary in
critic reasons as follows Fulton
laid before the French emperor his
plan for steam navigation. 1t might
have appealed to Napoleon had he
personally Investigated il, but he
preferred to leave the decision to
commission of wise acres, who re-
portd that navigation by the aid
of steam was an obvious absurdity
That was two years before the bat
tie of Trafalgar was fought. Had he
accepted the advice of Fulton and
gone at once to building, the great
army massed at Boulogne might af-
ter all have landed in England and
wrought its military miracles upon
British soil instead of at Austrelitz,
to which Trafalgar turned it."

CLASS PROBLEM IN FRANCE.

Socially, the millions of French work
men stand over against property
holders in way to which there is
nothing comparable in the Northern
and Western United States, with all
their labor difficulties. They form a
separate class in society, because
French property-holders form an ex-
elusive caste. And now there is spon-
taneous upheaval of this excluded, I'M
privileged, inferior class. The work.
men have caught up from the life
around them aspirations to social
conditions which circumstances forbid
them to hope to attain. All chance in
dependence of money, all social rising
of petty tradesmen and educated
peasantry. the unyielding bourgeoisie
entrance within the walls is by a
painfully narrow gate: and rarely in
deed Is 1t passed by the Frenchman
born to labor. The American social
experiment has so far aimed at bring
ing every citizen. high or low. within

or prosperous business man or ward

men, in the immense majority, are
proud of America and feel they have a
place in the sun.--Stoddard Dewey In

vuLeARITY NO IRISH TRAIT.

Now there are certain nations who
have the quality of vulgarity In the
the blood; and, indeed, it seems To
testify a strong and well-blooded
vitality, a desire for self assertion;
and thus we may expect to find vul-
garity logging, like a shadow, the
footsteps of strong, capable, and push
ing nationalities. But there are certain
nations who haze been accused of many
faults, who yet have never been accus-
ed of being vulgar The Irish are
case in point. They have been accused
of levity, of undue conviviality, of friy-
oily, of tendency to romance, of I'm.
trustworthiness, of responsibility,
but they have never been accused Of
vulgarity. There lies deep in the Celtic
temperament e. rich vein of emotion,
a strong relish for the melancholy
side of life; It is on this that their
Incompatible sense of humor Is based:

NEWSPAPER STATISTICS.

There are about $4,000 newspapers
published in the United States. of
which about $500 are ISSUED daily.
The amount of capital invested is
enormous, the expenses of a metro
politan daily more often exceeding
than falling below $1,000 900 per year.
The expenses of several daily Ameri-
can newspapers exceed $4,000 per
day, S4,000,000 per year; two or three
exceed $6,000,000 per year. Accord
ing to the United States census for
1900, 100000 persons are EMPLOYED
on the American newspapers and
about 100000 are supported directly
and indirectly by the newspaper in
dustry; the receipts of the newspaper
publishers are given at $4,000. 600
for the year 1900, $4,000, 900 of which
came from advertising and $50 coo 600
from subscriptions. The total number
OF copies of newspapers and other
periodicals. issued each year in this
country exceeds 5000, 900 900 or over
100 copies for each man, woman and
child. At the beginning of 1900 there
was one newspaper for every 26,45O
inhabitants, today there is one for
every $500. These statistics convey
some idea of the amazing extent IN
which newspaper making has grown
in this country.

A ROYAL HOUSEWIFE.

Every morning the Princess of
Wales is up and about at a surprisingly
early hour. She knows not only the
duties of every employee, but she
sees to it that they are fulfilled; and
woe betide the servant who thinks TO
hide a mistake or careless action from
her quick glancing, bright blue eyes.
The princess is wonderfully prompt
to see and to reprimand. An artist
who was called to Marlborough
house in order to paint the portrait of
the prince gives an amusing little bit
of evidence as to her housewifely care
and thrift
The prince in full uniform was pos.

When a call from the king came. The
artist said that he could paint in the
tall, shiny military boots IL the prince

own responsibility placed them in one

1t was in the opinion of both artist
and valet splendid position from
which to view and paint the boots but
not so did 1t seem to the princess. At
that very hour, unfortunately for
these masculine culprits, she was
making her daily rounds of inspection.
aud on entering the big, fine room
her sharp glance lighted first on the
boots in one of her most costly chairs.
1t was the wrath of the careful
housekeeper that flashed in her eyes
while she ordered the boots down on

RUBBER HEELS FOR TENANTS.
One Landlords Way of Keeping His
House Full. and Noiseless.

There is at least one landlord in
Harlem who has solved the problem
of keeping his house full of quiet
tenants who will not complain of the
noise overhead. His method was
discovered quite by accident when a
new tenant applied for lease on
the string of rooms known as fat
in this particular building.
All the necessary formalities about
references, finances, etc, had been
satisfactorily gone through with,
when The new tenant observed an
extra clause typewriter in the
printed form of lease.
What's that for" he inquired.
Read it and see," answered the
landlord. THAT is for your protec-
ZION as well as that of the tenants
under you. 1t explains itself
merely an obligation on your part to
wear rubber heels on all your shoes,
and requiring every member of your
family to 10 likewise. Oh--never
mind the expefse-the lease, you will
observe, requires me to furnish you
with the heels, so 1t costs you moth
ing"
The tenant read the following
clause pointed out in the lease by
the landlord:
And IL is hereby further agreed
that the said party of the second part
(the tenant) obligates himself and
the members of his family TO wear
and use only shoes equipped with
rtfbber heels. and the said party of
the first past (tne landlord) hereby
agrees to pay the expense of fitting
rubber heels to all shoes regularly
worn by the tenant AMI the members
of his family, provided that such
heels shall be fitted only at shop
to be designated by the party of the
first part.
The prospective tenant could only
arIiculate:
Bait suppose l refuse to wear rub
ber ileels?"
I'm that case, we will have no diff
ficulty in finding someone else who
WILL" answered the landlord. This
clause is my own idea and is in
serted to guard against noise from the
fiat above-an evil which you must
admit is one of the greatest annoy
ances Of life in fiat in New York.
