LONDON FLATS.

The Passing of the Traditional Eng
 fish Home.
 It used to be the fashion in England for everbody to have large families, and home life was considered the most precious of all the possessions of the Briton. But people tell me here and there statistics show that such notions are becoming and that order of things is passing away. Wherever you go in London you will see a surprising num- Der of houses to rent in the fashionable quarters, and people both of large and small incomes are giving up their homes and going to the apartment houses and hotels as they do in New York, but it is not good form to call them apartments here. Tn the United States apartments are suites of rooms in large, handsome buildings, where families can do their own cooking or take their meals in public restaurant. In the United States flats" are apart ments in small and unfashionable tene- ment-houses. In London no gentleman or lady of position would live in apart ments." for that term is applied to quarters in boarding-houses and to resi- .dences in the unfashionable quarters of the city where they rent rooms to lod- gers. Suites of rooms in the large and expensive apartment-houses or man slons" or residential hotels,' are called flats" It is simply a difference in the application of the English langnasa-

MERELY TALKING.

Senator Beveridge was conforming a notoriously corrupt and notoriously plausible capitalist.
 The man speaks we'll" said Senator Beveridge. He promises much. If he acted as he talked he would be famous for his goodness. But, alas! he is like the German who nearly lost his daughter.
 This German, with his daughter, was walking beside deep stream on a summer afternoon, when the young girl slipping on a stone, fell in. And she would have drowned but for the prompt bravery of a youth. He, slip ping off coat and shoes, plunged in, and after four or five minutes of hard work brought the girl ashore safe.
 The old German father was trans ported.
 " Noble minded youth, said he, we do indeed, owe you a debt of gfati- tude. A hundred thousand marks or my daughters hand-choose Which shall it be?'
 The youth, who was no less wise than brave, thought to himself that if he took the daughter he would some day get the money also, and accord- ingly without moments hesitation he made answer:
 I choose your daughter
 A wise choice, said the old father. I could not have given you the one hundred thousand marks, for I am only poor cobbler; but you shall have the girl and that gladly. Join hands, dear children, and receive my bless ing "-Chicago Inter Ocean.

tainly, I want to see everything, eve rything." Soto the dynamo room the pair proceeded. At the doorway the middy halted. "These, sir, are two powerful dynamos which supply the electric force, generated frorn--" "Oh, yes, I know all about that" in- terrppted the statesman, stepping up to the dynamos and examining them closely with the air of an expert. Then with his attendant misshipmite he went back to the saloon, feeling that he had done what England ex- pected of him.
 Arrived there, after a parting glass for goodwill, the middy suddenly ex- claimed q hope, sir, you didn't bring valuable watch with you? Those dy- namos are not very good for watches, and you stood so close to them" Good gracious, boy!" exclaimed the statescan, hastily producing his watch, and finding that it had stopped, why on earth didn't you tell me?" Well sir, I'm really sorry, but didn't think of it at the moment. l thought you knew everything. ''-London World.

 4 JAR ID TRUE LOVE.

Some of these judges are unsentimen- tai chaps. Perhaps that is the reason why they are judges. Anyhow they are unsentimental. Edwin s. Updyke, jr., a paymaster's clerk in the United States navy, died recently. He had a small estate, and his flancee, Florence M. Crawford, laid claim to it on the ground that in love letter written by Updyke to her there were the words: T am yours to do with as you like. l and all that have is yours to do With as you like" Her attorneys contended that this formed a will. The register of wills in Philadelphia in denying the claim says: Ordinarily poetic or ro- mantle license is considered an essen- tial privilege of a lover's impassioned rhetoric, and 1t would seem irrational to conclude that this phrase I and all that I have is yours to do with as you like is more than an emotional express sion. with a conscious or unconscious mental reservation that, though the au- tlor thus designated an objective own ership of himself and all that he had, he nevertheless intended to retain some remnant of supervision over the actual disposition of himself and his posses, sions.
 Wouldn't that jar the heart of a low CT? No wonder Florence thinks judges have no feeling. She knew that her lover meant what he said, and she knew that she meant it, and she natur- ally can't understand that he had any real ownership in himself or his proper ty. She was the owner of both.

THE MUDDY AND THE MINISTER

A story reaches me concerning a member of the late government, who bears the reputation of being more cocksure than the ordinary run even of cabinet ministers, which seems worth recording as a warning to the over- confident. The statesman in question one day paid a surprise visit to cruiser stationed at Portsmouth, and in the absence of all the senior of ficers was received by a midshipman, who proceeded to show him round, as he wanted to see everything. The 9.2 guns, the barbettes, the crows nest, the watertight compartments, the kitchens, were in turn inspected, and
 in each case the statesman cut short the middys attempted explanation by exclaiming, 'Yes, yes, I know all about that" The middy grew rather sad. You've seen everything now, sir" he said at last, except the dyna- mos. Would you like to-?" Ger

GaEArER IND GBrArEn NEw YORK

I -d
 People can't get around in New York conveniently and rapidly yet, and per- haps they never will. But the efforts to accommodate them will continue as long as there is money to be made out of them. Some of the efforts in sight are pretty large ones. The appellate division of the New York Supreme Court, on application of the Rapid Transit Board, has just confirmed the reports of the various sets of commis- sioners which favored the construction and operation of nineteen different rapid transit routes, chiefly subways in Manhattan and connections with other boroughs. The aggregate cost of these routes is placed at $450,OOO,OOO for con- struction and equipment. The court directs that the board select these routes and contract for them within two years, after which the approval ex- pires.
 These are pretty good-sized figures, and bigger ones will be needed by and by, we suppose. And by and by per- haps the air over New York will be filled with real flyers" full of passen- gers.

The serenade.

No more the youth with light guitar Awaits the evening shade To tune beneath the twinkling star A tender serenade. No more beneath her easement there Out in the moonlight's glow, Of eyes so bright and golden hair He sings full sweet and low. The old guitar is laid aside, The easements closed for keeps, And Cupid, humbled in his pride, Out in the starlight weeps. The youth walks inAthe girl would

 Should he all bashful wait. They listen to the photograph And say; Gee! Amt that great"

 use of moa wood, of which the navy department recently purchased 100000 feet It is supposed to have all the qualities of teak, and certainly possess es the advantage of being more plenti- ful and correspondingly cheaper. It is realized by the experts, however that the acceptance of moa wood in the place of teak would at once increase its value in the market, and probably in a short time lead to an increase in cost, which would allow no special prefer ence for teak or moa. The navy also uses it's supply ships to bring homo hemp from the Philippines.

The Navy department has acquired a bargain lot of teak, purchased in the East Indies, to be kept in storage at the navy yards at Brooklyn and Nor- folk. There are some 6OO,OOO feet of the material, which has been sent to this country on the Glacier and the Brutus from Cavite, where the teak was delivered by the contractors. It is becoming more and more difficult, say the naval constructors, to obtain teak, which is the most durable of lumber used in ship construction, especially for backing arinor plates. The price has steadily advanced, and 1t is foreseen that sooner or later there will be such a dearth of the material as to make the price prohibitiVe. In the meantime, experiments are continuing with the

The negroes in this country are get ting along better than they could be fairly expected to. Walter Williams has been studying the condition of the negroes in Missouri, and he finds it pretty good. In 1719 French trader brought five hundred full-blooded Guinea negroes, who came from Africa by way of San Domingo to Missouri the first that were known there. From 175O to 176O, MT. Williams says, there were more negroes than whites in the State. The Missouri negroes are most ly Republicans, so far as they take part in politics, but are not self-seek- ing. The State treats them very well as regards schools, and most of them have opportunity to obtain an ele- mentary education. They are employed in all the trades, and a good many are prosperous farmers. John Baxton, a negro, obtained one of the World s fair gold medals for the best wheat grown in the State. Henry Kirklin de- clined an offer of $1,5OO annual salary as instructor in gardening at Lincoln Institute because he could do better by gardening on his own account. Ne groes never serve on juries. Mr Will Hams conclusions are thus summariz- ed: "The race problem in Missouri, never acute, is less so than it has been. It is solving itself, The negro, yet a veritable child of nature, is growing toward large qualification for citizen- ship, by added equipment and charac- ter, by eschewing partisan politics, by turning toward the farm, by training his children along industrial lines. and by becoming a farmer"
 All of which is encouraging. If the good friends of the negro had been lit tie more judicious forty years ago per haps they would be making even more progress than they are.

The worlds production of raw silk amounts to more than 61,oOO,OOO pounds annually, with a greater aggregate val- ue than the American cotton crop. Of this amount China produces more than one-holf, followed by Japan with pro- auction of somewhat less than one fourth the total, while the remainder is secured from India, Siam, Persia Tur- key, Greece, Italy, France, Spain, Por- tugal, the Balkan States and other countries. China also is the greatest consumer, while the United States, with a production as yet too small to figure ntrade reports and statistics, ranks second.
