Apropos of Rubens.

The other afternoon my conscience pricked me. and I went to the Louvre.
 Here l am," I said to myself, "spend- ing my time either feeding the goldfish in the park or buying frocks or dash ing around in fiacres doing nothing but stare at the passerhy, and here are treasures of art awaiting my inspec- tion and I haven't even the energy to go inside a door and up one flight Of stairs to look at them.
 So one fine afternoon found me in the Rubens gallery. My sorrows! What was the matter with Rubens that he admired such mountings of flesh After gazing at the different portraits of celebrated women, each plumper than the last, caught view of my self in an old mirror and was mortified a my emaciated appearance, although, believe me. I am so little on the verge of a decline that I broke my corset strings trying to get into my new princess gown. However, that IS neither here nor there.

As to Male Headgear.

When the Frenchman is caricatured he always wears in the picture a tall hat, no matter what the time of day Now if that peculiarity were made to fit the Englishman 1t would be just about right. for I never saw anything made so cheap as the tall, silk hat in London.
 IL seems to be considered a sure sign of 'gentility." if I may use the word and every man who is not a hodcarrier delights in wearing one of these shiny head coverings And not only in the afternoon, but mornings on their way

It was Rubens-a huge canvas.

The painting was rich with color Prelates and fine ladies vied with each other in the tints of their brocades and jewels. and yet the most striking oh- jects in the painting were two dogs, One was behaving himself and was gazing mildly at the procession.

And the Englishwoman Is largely to blame How she does defer to his mighty opinion! The Frenchwoman, on the other hand, once she is married, shows both will and temper of her own, together with a talent for des- potism and coquetry which keeps her husband in a subdued condition.
 But not so much as the American husband, of course.

 For example,. the American seeress predicts all sorts of flirtations ending g in a wealthy marriage. Money Is fairly rolling up for you. She is not strong on her description of the happy bride groom. but that is minor point The main thing is that he is rich and will give you all your heart desires.

tropical current bathes the shores of New
foundland and Labrador.
In that case, the two regions would
swap climates. Newfoundland is in ex-
actly the same latitude as France. Labra-
dor is in that of Great Britain Its vast
extent would blossom into gardens and
wheat fields. Great cities would spring
up on its navigable inlets, and its bleak
tundras of today would swarm with happy
Millions On the other hand, Paris Lon
don and Berlin would be given over to
snow and ice and desolation. Gray arctic
foxes, with a few squalid Eskimos, would
be the only inhabitants of fat Normandy
and verdant Erin.
However, a very simple and apparently
inevitable natural phenomenon would have
to be disposed of before this change could
take place. At the tropics, where the
eastward speed of the earth's girdle is
great, the prevailing westerly winds whip
the seas surface into general west
ward flow; and this, with the winds them
selves. tends to react in an eastward flow
In the calmer north, where the velocity
of the earth's surface is not so great
This tendency inevitably carries the gulf
stream across the Atlantic. 1t simply can
not go anywhere else, any more than the
Japanese current can help coming across
in the same way in the Pacific.
We should not advise the park board to
wait for palm trees to sprout on upper
Broadway. Better plant something else
The gulf stream will not come to u.s.

SWAPPING CURRENTS.
Gulf Stream is Now veering Toward
United States.
From the New York Press

From the New York Press.
Another intelligent sea captain has come
in with a story that the gulf stream Is
running several degrees farther west than
it, really ought to run. There is a con-
currence of evidence from these mariners
that. instead of turning to the eastward
off Cape Hatteras and striking straight
across the ocean to England, the genial
tropical current is now making for Nan
tucket and Nova Scotia, and is actually
within twenty-five miles of Sankaty Head.
People begin to think that where there
is so much smoke there must be some
fire, and that the gulf stream will actually
soon be flowing up the Hudson. while nice
little palm trees will sprout In the park
and along the weedy wastes of the boule-
ward.
If the gulf stream Is coming to us In
stead of to Europe, by the operation of
the law of compensation the arctic cur
rent which comes down our shore should
go to Europe. If the warm stream as
cends our coast. the descending cold
stream must go somewhere else. They
cannot both flow in opposite directions
over the same ground. Finding it's place
usurped.. the arctic current must, upon
emerging from Baffin bay and Davis
strait, head straight across the ocean to
the British Isles and France. while the
