VELVET COST SIS A YARD.

Some days ago said a good deal to
my wife about the increased cost OF
living, and incidentally laid particular
stress on the size of her dressmaker's
bills said a well known army man
to some companions in the Army and
Navy Club recently.
''She took it all very meekly, and |
was much pleased with my diplomatic
way of broaching the subject I told
her that we now lived in an age of
frightful extravaganza, and that I
wished most heartily that we could go
back to the simple life our parents led
in the good old days.
''She made no reply, but handed me
an old letter, dated 1864, and asked me
to read it. 1t was from the firm of
A. T. Stewart & Co, of New York, to
my mother-in-law, and had inclosed a
sample of velvet which they said was
the cheapest they had in their store.
1t was the modest price of SIS a yard

to admit that my wife had the best of

LANGUAGES IN JAP SCHOOLS.

A letter from Japan, published in
Berlin, says that the study of the Ger
man language in Japan has fallen off
in the last few years. At the close of
the school term of 1900 in Toxic the
department of examinations reported
that the following languages had been
studied in the schools: English, Chi
nese, German and Russian. French,
Korean and Spanish were neglected.
In 1904 the number of students of
Chinese increased 100 per cent, and
the study of English fell off, while there
was marked increase of German
students. In 1907 statistics show that
the German language has lost in favor
and it has gone back to seventh place
English has not retrograded, and has
thirty students in the final" class to
thirteen who study German. Young
men who are being educated for BUSH
ness careers" says the writer, do not
study German, but it is still popular
with those who are in the scientific
circles"

Elizabeth at Hatfield. There is not

We were fain to send to London and
Kenilworth and divers other places
where ale was; her own beer was so
strong as there was no man able to

items of the royal breakfast. The

looks out upon the houses and afc-
tories where once grew the extensive
vineyards of his great-grandfather.
Speaking of these recently, Mr.. Long
worth said: The Rhine country, it's
soil and river, were familiar to him
through his reading. He was imagina-
tive as well as practical. The soft
climate in this region and the Ohio
flowing in loops and bends between the
hills and in the valleys, made him be-
lieve that grapes would thrive here
The common drink in those days was
whisky. 1t was taken into the harvest
fields in buckets, and was free to all
in every store. Nicholas Longworth
was thrifty man, and his philosophy
was better than his time. He knew
that the poor people in Germany,
France and Italy drank wine, which
was cheap and weak in alcohol. So he
planted several hundred acres in
grapes, built wine presses, and sent
circulars TO the Rhine country, giving a
description of the land and climate in
the neighborhood of Cincinnati. He
asked grape growers and Wine-makers
to come to America. Many of them
did so, and he met them at the boat
landing near his vineyards, helped
them to find homes and gave them en-
ployment. They wrote hopeful letters
to their kindred over the ocean, and
thus Cincinnati at the very beginning
became a German-American city, and |
such it has been ever since. But my |
was in error con- |

were a failure, and he lost |
a large sum of money. The Germans |
being here and wine being impossible, |
they built breWeries and made beer"

NEW YoRK's RAPID" TRANSIT

NEW YORK'S RAPID" TRANSIT.
Although New Workers are prone to
declaim constantly about the slowness
of elevated and subway trains, and the
inadequacy of so-called "rapid transit -
the fact remains that they are the fast
est in the world for city travel, says
the Broadway Magazine.
One can ride on the IL" fourteen
miles with forty-two stops. in a little
more than an hour, or one can make
the length of Manhattan by the sub
way in half an hour by using the ex-
press.
New York, too. has a service that is
not surpassed by any city in Europe
A condensed review of the street tram
sit facilities of London, Paris and New
York shows that London has omni-
buses running from a. m. to mid
night, the Underground" in operation
from s a. m. to midnight, and the
Tube" carrying passengers between
the hours of 6 a. m. and 1 a. M; that
Paris has omnibuses traversing her
streets from a. m. to midnight and
the subway running beneath them
from a. m. to 1 a. M: and that New
York has the trolley, the elevated rail-
road and the subway in active opera
ton during every hour of the day and
night.
1t will readily be seen, therefore, that
the inhabitants of the American
metropolis enjoy far greater advan-
tages in the matter of rapid transit
than do the people of any other city
in the world.
