complain that the streets Of the capital

that the pavements of Paris are Uttered
with scraps Of paper to an extent un-

A London gentleman. having taken
a small farm in the country as being
the correct thing TO do. as well as to
get 4 little fresh air. had invited some
of his friends down to see his new
possession.
Having viewed the domain and not
ing the absence of creature life about
the place. one of his friends remarked:
With nice. open place like this, I
wonder you don't have some animals
about. as is usual on a farm Some
cows. for instance. so as to have your
own butter and cream"
"No-o," drawled his host, don't care
about butter or cream"
"Some chickens or ducks. then You

The Palisades,

To see New York city from the Pail
sades is to witness the multiple beau
ty and wonder Of the Palisades them
selves. One OF the most astonishing
facts concerning these towering
masses Of grandeur is that they lie so
close to the most artificial. man sub
jugated area that civilization has
evolved, writes Philip Verrill Mighels
in Harper's Magazine. To come upon
the Palisades from the rear at night
Is like stepping to the edge Of the
world, where the slender, dark island
lies low beyond as if it were only
part of space. its countless lights
looking like millions Of stars stretched
for miles across the sky. The illu-
sion is dispelled when the wind flows
up with the tide to the base Of the
cliffs and lifts up the full throated
roar OF the substantial city.
