Guests Make the Hotel.
From the Hotel World.

Among the silly and absurd articles ap-
pearing from time to time concerning hotel
and tavern keeping. one tells US again and
again how the modern hotel is shown to
disadvantage when compared with the inns
of colonial days. In these articles the writ
er dilates and expatiates onthehospitality of
the old-time tavern, and the cold. Indifferent
and almost cruel treatment received from
the hands of the modern hotel man. OF
course, every one knows, II he will drop
sentiment for a moment and give the SUBJ
ject little sober reflection. that the mod
ern traveller, tourist or hotel guest would
absolutely refuse the accommodations af-
forded by the inn of one hundred years
ago. The only advantage Of a hotel Of
those times lay in the fact that the lack
Of material comforts drew from the trav
eler a warmer fellow feeling and greater
sociability-a condition in which one man
was more his brothers keeper than pre-
walls today. Again, the travel by coach
and the small number thrown together, en-
route or at the hotel. made closer acquain-
tanceship not only possible, but far more
desirable than in our day of big hotels
and big crowds.
The modern hotel lis a product Of the
times. The wants, desires whims, fads
and ON ton of all these. the Imperative
demands of those who travel. have made
the hotel Of today what it is from the stand
point of food. accommodations, method of
service and management. and from every
point of view. The hotel keeper of today
responds to the bidding Of the guests. One
might almost say of the man and woman
who travel: Here is your hotel; you have
planned 1t, furnished it; you have outlined
its methods of management. and it is what
you believe should be comprehended In the
modern hotel"
The colonial tavern, which would not be
tolerated for moment In our days, was
adapted to its times; to speak of it as
being superior to the modern hosiery is
to claim that the old stage coach, which
left you more weary and worn at the end
of one hundred miles than the palace coach
does today at the end of one thousand
miles, was a superior vehicle of travel to
those used on the modern railroad.

SPEED SWIMMING.
A Little Instruction in the Side Stroke
and the Scissor Kick.

From Out1n&.
Whether a man be a swimmer or not,
in taking up new stroke he should begin
with the leg movement only. In the side
stroke it is called the scissor kick. To &C
quire it find a place with water at least
three feet in depth, where you can use
either stationary or floating sup
port. Take hold of this support and let
your body rest on the water, on its side,
with legs straight and well together and
feet as if standing on tiptoe. Choose the
side that feels most comfortable. Now
proceed to open the legs very slowly, not
frog fashion, but front and back, as in
walking. The upper should be brought
forward almost straight, the under. back,
bent to a kneeling position. When they
are about two feet apart snap sharply to-
gether.
The position of the body is unchanged.

larly over your head and the palms turned
slightly away from the face. Bring upper

THE sNoB ON HIS TRAVELS.
| His Breadth of View Is Really the
| Provincialism He Deplores.
From the Spectator.


Among Travelled persons we find in
stances Of extreme "narrow-wideness.' Such
people come home having. as they say,
knocked about" generally not for very
long. The less civilized the place of their
sojourn, the more certain they are that
such sojourn stretches the mind The sight
of few black savages has assured many
a man that he has succeeded in finding the
philosophers stone. When he comes home
he finds everything provincial" His
friends may live in the social center of the
most civilized city whichever that is) in
the world, but because they have lived at
home they have become "provinciap' in his
sight.
Why to stay a short while in hut In a
wilderness should teach man SO much
that he could never learn in villa in q
suburb it is not easy to say offhand. On
the face of it. the latter would appear the
better center for acquiring knowledge. II
one of his former friends should ask him
for details about the character or fnhabi-
tants of the far country wherein he has
acquired much experience, he will prob
ably have less information than might be
found in any cheap book the inquirer could
pick UP. Very often one might as well look
at a pedometer when one wants to know
the time as try to find out anything worth
knowing about a place from the man who
has been there.
What he has learned is not about foreign
parts but about his own country and its
affairs. In his wilderness he has become
enlightened upon the subject of home poll
tics, and he knows them to consist of a
mass of parochial details easily disposed
of by wide minded {traveled) man; and
he knows a great deal about European poll
ties though he has been living out of
Europe. II men would but accept the key
of statecraft which he would give them all

the consideration OF political principles and
think of present expediency, If they would
forget the past and not look to the future.

ties without so much talk. They have all,

tracks altogether.

From the Globe,

The discoveries of the potentialties OF
coal tar have allowed of the production of
the beautiful alizarine and aniline colors of
today. and 1t has made them far cheaper
than the old pigments. 1t is characteristic
that while an Engiishman made the dis
covery on which great part of modern
chemical industry Is based, none Of his
countrymen could be induced to take adj
vantage of It. 1t was too theoretic for the
self-styied practical man of business. who
preferred his old method of the vat and the
tub: and the prophet of coal tar. being
without honor in his own country. had to
find a refuge among Germans, who were
not so blind to a new invention.

ISLAND OF OAHU.
It Holds the Chief City and the Great
Harbor Of Hawaii.

From the Honolulu Advertiser.
The island of Oahu, on which Is situated
Honolulu at once the largest city and CAPT.
tai of the territory, has an area or 6UO
square miles and Is forty-six miles in
length by twenty-five at Its greatest
breadth. 1t has two ranges of mountains,
the Waianae range reaching an elevation
of 4O3O feet and the Koolau range, 3.1Oo
feet, which are connected by tableland OF
about $50 feet above the sea.
Having the only true harbor In the group,
Honolulu soon assumed the position Of CEN
ter Of population and Of commerce. The
city soon grew out Of it's narrow. irregular
streets, and today boasts OF miles OF
macadamized streets and avenues lined
with exogenous trees. the beauty of which
is commented on by all visitors.
In early time a mistake was made in
filling I'D much Of the shallow waters of
the harbor to make the esplanade, but of
later years the policy Of the government
has been to increase shipping accOmmoda-
lions and many new slips have been ex-
cavated into the esplanade and the en-
trance and balance of the harbor have been
dredged.
The periphery of the island, which itself
Is somewhat dumb-bell shaped. Is sur
rounded with a coral reef. over which the
roaring breakers lash themselves into foam.
Quite number of inlets through the reef,
were known to the early Hawaiians. the
first one to the west of Honolulu being
Kalihi harbor. The entrance to 1t is mar
row and winding, but within there is quite
a large body of water. 1t has been sug
gested to increase the harbor Of Honolulu
by uniting it to Kalihi by means of a canal.
The next entrance westward Is Pearl
harbor, the inlet to which has already been
dredged by the general government. The
channel is narrow but deep, and the lagoon

modating an immense commerce The for

Adaptability at a Discount.
From Lady's Pictorial.

At one time there used always to be a
brisk demand among hostesses for adapt
able guests"-men and women who would
make themselves generally useful" and
II needs be, sleep in the box ROOM But
adaptabilty Is now at discount: indeed,
guests who are consistently pleased and
pleasant are found to be the worst form Of
irritant that can be introduced into a house
full of men and women who are all intent
on making their own plans to the exclusion
of those of every one else.

ST. LOUIS SHOES IN EUROPE.
Peters Shoe Go. Serd the First Rep. resentatiVe of St. Louis Great
 industry to Old England.

Londoners and Parisians will soon have an opportunity of knowing what shoe satisfaction is, and of adding to their fund of information as to wild western ways :n America that remark ably good shoes are made in St. Louis while the citizens are not engaged in Indian warfare. The Peters Shoe CC. has dispatched 9 Diamond Brand shoe salesman to "the other side" with a complete line of samples of high grade shoes, and good results are expected from the enterprise.
 The Peters Shoe Go. was earned a widespread reputation as manufac- turers of fine shoes. and in recent sea- sons has made 9 number of shipments of goods to European countries. Not long since one lot of Diamond Brand
