Britons on British Climate.


The British climate will feel much en-
couraged at the result of the Strand Maya
vines questionings of exalted personages
as to how they feel about It, Approval has
been accorded it by the king himself who
recalls the saying of Charles II, that there
Is no country where man can be abroad
so many months of the year or so many
hours of the day as in England To a
diplomatist at Homburg King Edward VII
said: II do not leave England to escape
from the weather. but for quite other rea-
sons Taken as a whole. the English eli
mate Is the best in the world. That it is
certainly healthful the general physique OF
our English people shows"
Charles II, though he underwent the
travels which he did not want to resume,
had seen very little of the world at large.
However, the present Prince of Wales
shares the favorable opinion, and during a
speech in India said ef the English climate:
so far from being 'abominable, think it
is one of the best if not the best all-round
climate in the world And Sir Harry john

are determined to extend their business

Washington become an active rival of Bal

why not? Washington has good water

The horse is still doing business at the
same old stand in the fire department in
Washington and is likely 20 continue thus
earning his oats for some years to come. de-
spite the competition OF the auto in other
businesses said Assistant Chief Wagner,
who has charge of the purchasing of the
horses for the fire department of this city.
to Star reporter at fire headquarters.
They are manufacturing auto fire steam
ers. and this class of fire-tighting apparatus
may be installed in several cities perma-
nently, but l do not recall any at present.
The fact that the horse still obtains in New
York, Philadelphia. Boston. Chicago and
other large cities, where they have unlm-
tied money at command to try experiments,
which we cannot undertake in this city by
reason of limited appropriation. would
tend to show that as yet the old fire horse
will remain with US for awhile one of the
picturesque and most popular features OF
city life.
Therefore we would not adopt auto
steamers in this city until their efficiency
had been thoroughly tested elsewhere. This
year are getting our horses at much
lower rate per head than in former years,
owing to competition with the contractor
in Baltimore who has supplied us with
horses for a great many years. We have
bought fifty-two head this year. at an aver
age rate OF s2i7 each as against $40 each
last year. material saving.
This class of horses Is scarce, and their
average price rules much higher than ten
years ago. This is due to the great drains
which have been made upon the horse sup
ply of this country by recent wars, espe-
cially the South African trouble The mar
ket will be frightened rather than relieved.
for I notice that the government has ad-
vertised for several thousand horses and
mules for use In the Cuban troubles.
Pride of the Department.
"Our horses are the pride Of our de-
partment. as well as objects of admiration

the department to appear egotistical by AS

For a year and a half a man who had been
in the army, and who was crippled in the
Philippines, losing an arm in action, walked
the streets OF New York trying to find work
In order to exc out the small pension on
which he and his family struggled along.
He had been in service for fifteen years and
had risen by his own merits from the ranks
to a lie~utenancy. When the came to the
bureau he had approached very near the
dead centre Of encouragement, and when
he discovered that he really had a place in
the world Of men his Joy was almost as pitt
full to see as his former encouragement.
He is now working as a Waterman and gets
good wages.
"The whole problem is really one for the
employer" says Mr.. Marks, after giving a
description Of he bureau -andthe ultimate
solution may be found in giving the EN-
ployee a certain percentage of profit, which
viii be a pension for his old age and illness,
as well an an incentive to his work, making
him not a machine with a certain daily out
put but a part OF the place in which he

An Experiment which Shows How Little

Prof. Caparede OF a Swiss iversity
recently asked a class OF ffty-four students
eight simple questions concerning the
rooms they daily visited at the school.

or squareH" lis there q window facing

the large amphitheatre plain or deOoratedi'

Forty-Hve of the ffty-four students de-
clared there was no window at all; eight
remembered that there was q window, but
each and all attributed a wrong situation
TO IL: one, more sincere than his fellows,
candidly owned that he had not the least
idea whether there was a window or not.
As regards the shape OF the columns IN the
vestibule, only six answers were correct.
BY way Of continuing the experiment ,
one day q man conspicuOusly OoNtumed
suddenly burst into the classroom, where
he performed certain antics and uttered
certain emphatic phrases prearranged with
the professor. He wa then thrust out Of

Immediately knows that he has reached
his destination.
The registration Of pupils for the school
year o to open was In progress. In the
big room, from which all school furniture
had been removed, teachers seated at desks
were enrolling some applicants, rejecting
others.
A procession comes along, headed by a
bearded Hebrew, with horid face, thick,
hunched up shoulders and one Of the IN
describable hats Of the East Side pulled
down over shaggy eyebrows and wiry
curls. By the hand he holds tightly a
small editiop Of himself.
-Hol' tight, Yawcobl' he says, and Yaw-
cob hangs on "a il father were a nickel and
the door Of the schoolhouse a slot which

girl arrayed in a small garment and alarge

lurching forward shuts butcher vision.
She holds two others Of the same sex by
their sticky fingers, and following them
boys and girls form a line that seems to
sweep around the corner into the far of

with an answering grin.
That watch and this place are old ac-

ment. THE owner is a pedler, and like
every other pedler around here apparently
often needs a little extra cash in his bust
