Fathers Good Advice.

A young man from Pittsburg went to New York 10 make good" in his chosen profession, gays a New York letter. The other night he stood in the lobby of a hotel and friend asked him what he thought of New York. T have only been here two days" he replied, "so I have not seen the city very thoroughly. My fathers parting words 10 me when l left home were: My son. you are going to great city. There Is much good and much evil to be found in New York. Keep 10 the straight and narrow path as closely as possible. avoid Wall street and, above all, beware of the monkey house."

Peru ctslms KurokI,

Gen. Kuroki. the famous Japanese soldier, has been variously described as of Polish, Russian and German ex. traction. Another interesting chap ter has been added to this genealogical symposium by an official pull 1ieation in the Official Gazette, of Lima, Peru. which makes the claim, and submits a plausible statement of facts to prove it. that Kuroki's father was Peruvian patriot whose name was Transito Charroqui. It Is also declared that the generals father was descendant ot the Incas, who themselves are be- lievad to have been descendants of an Asiatic race, so Kuroki is an atavism and has come into his own in the land of his fathers.

Monarehs as Linquists.

Monarehs must know more than one language. King Edward. who tray eled so much, speaks French better than some Frenchmen, and also Ger man. The czar of Russia speaks French as well as his native tongue and knows the numerous dialects Emperor William of Germany speaks French and English correctly. and is also well versed in Latin. The king of Spain, the youngest of all speaks German with ease and also French and English. Because of his marriage he now practices the latter. The king of Portugal speaks French, English, German and Spanish. The king of Italy is master of French and Ger man and is also we'll versed in the va rious Italian dialects.

Master of Many Languages.

Gen. Picquart, French minister of war, is sort of Admiral Criehton, for. besides a wide general cultivation, he reads, writes and speaks Russian, German and English and Italian. Such knowledge of language is not common with Frenchmen, even those of educa- tion, but Gen. Piequart's facility is ex- Rlained, perhaps, by the fact thaat he is an Alsatian. The Alsatians have long been noted in France for the readiness with which they acquire languages.

Chinese Superior to Japs.

Discussing the little rumpus with Japan. Senator William A. Clark ex- presses the opinion the Chinese in this country are superior to the Jap anese. "I have loaned thousands of dollars to Chinamen," said the sena- tor, and never have I known one to fail to meet his obligations" He em- phasized his opinion as to the superior ity of the Chinamen by calling atten- ton to the fact that the Japanese in their banking institutions employ Chinamen in positions of trust in preference to their own countrymen.

Rothschilds Never Prosecute.

While the Bank of England makes it a point never under any circum- stances to relinquish the prosecution of those who have defrauded it in the slightest degree, being willing, if need be, to spend thousands of pounds to capture and prosecute people who have robbed it of even a few shillings, the Rothsehilds make it rule never to appeal to the courts or to the police in such matters. Of course. they are, like every other banker, occasionally the victims of dishonesty. but neither the police nor the public ever hear about the matter. This has always been a principle of the heads of the house. who take the ground that it is better to bear the loss in silence than to disturb popular confidence in the safety of the concern by allowing it to be seen that it's treasures are not adequately safeguarded.

PARIS RESTAURANTS.

"The restaurants of Paris are the best in the world,' said chef. "Es- tablishments like the Cafe Anglais and Paillard's, on the Boulevard des ltaliens, Foyot's, near the Ode on, and Noisin's, on the Rue St. Honore, have been famous for many years fer their cellars and their cooking. But in all these restau- rants the cellcrs are now giving out.
 We Americans are proving too much for the Parisians In too many thousands we are invading their small, modest, expensive res taurants. When, long ago, they laid down their wines of choice yint- age, they had no idea that every American village would have its half dozen millionaires who would some day invade Paris and demand at the best restaurants the finest wines on the wine card.
 In word, there are so many of us rich Americans that We have seriously depleted the famous wine cellars of Paris. Thanks to our thirst. your Parisian cellars are no longer of the first quality.
 If We want superb wine cellars now, We must go to the restaurants of Brussels. which our miIlionaires have not vet attacked"
