takes visitors and some of the wOr-
shippers up the heights from the streets
below. The building is in the Roman
byzantine style, from designs by
Abadie, and the dome is 26o feet high.
Work was begun in 1875 and the
church has been used for services
since 1891. The progress of building
has been slow, for extensive sub
structures were required in the an
cient quarries from which the gypsum
called plaster of paris was formerly
obtained.
: Already $6,OO0,OOO has been expend
ed on the edifice and much has yet to
be raised by subscription. The interior
is colorless and almost bare, it's dec

the high altar is huge kneeling sta
tue of Monsig. Guibert, archbishop of
Paris, offering a model of the great
church which arose under his auspices
to the Virgin in the Lady chapel oppo-
site. Here, by his own request, in
stead of in his cathedral church, Notre
Dame, he is buried.
AS if a perpetual warning to her
etics, a statue of the Chevalier de la
Barre has been erected Immediately
in front of the main entrance. This
stake in 1866, at the age of 49, for re-
fusing to salute a clerical procession.
Though the site of the church is re-
garded as impractical, there was pur-
pose in its selection, which illustrates
a predominant French characteristic.
Whenever any of the extreme partisan
factions in France has secured control
of the government it has gone to great
lengths in exulting over its triumphs.
Refusal to offer measures of concili-
alton is one of the causes of the con-
slant unrest in France. When the
present republic was, for time, in the
hands of reactionaries, and the govern
ment was in sympathy with the
church, the erection of Sacred Heart
was suggested and begun. 1t is intend
ed as a perpetual reminder to the peo-
pie that, for while, the clerical spirit
was dominant in the third republic
and as a threat that if it again gains
the ascendency it will make it's power
felt And it was with the same pur-
pose in view that bell which could
be heard for many miles was ordered
Sacred Heart seems destined to domin-
ate Paris so long as Paris exists.

A Contest of Wits.

An eminent lawyer was once cross
examining a very clever woman, moth
er of the plaintiff in a breach-of-prom-
Use action, and was completely worst
ed in the encounter of wits. At the
close, however, he turned to the jury
and exclaimed:
You saw, gentlemen, that even 1

may my client have been?"
By this adroit stroke of advocacy
he turned his failure into a success.

American Optimism.
This is only another example of
that youthful optimism, might almost
say that thoughtless optimism, which
is so all-pervading in America. Every
/, one is serenely confident that it will
all come out right; that wherever ex-
perience reveals defects remedies will
be found; that the future is amply
able to take care of itself 1t is very
beautiful, but,-to a European who
has been called a pessimist and
practical
There is one thing which 1 envy
you and this is the absence of ran
cour and hatred in your political, so
cial, business and religious disputes.
In Europe when we are opponents we
hate each other; in America political
or religious enemies can be personal
friends. Our rivalries are so DID, so
deep seated, often the results of blood
shed; our vendettaS are fierce, i'm
placable. So far as L have been able
to judge you Americans of to-day
know nothing of such bitter strife.
And therein you are happier than we"
You said just now that you had
learned much from your tour in Amer
lea. What is it that you have
learned?"
Il have learned enough of Ameri-
can life, American politics, American
institutions and American men and
women to be able to follow intelligent
ly the history of America as the news
of the day reports it's development.
Few men in Europe understand Amer
lea. They cannot help Judging of
American affairs from European stand
points This makes them unfair and
futile in their judgments. While
have not been long enough in Amer
lea to dare to say positively that
really understand it, 1 am convinced
that l know enough about it to enable
me to understand better than before
what is going on and to read of
American affairs intelligently. 1 am
taking back with me four big suit
cases filled with books, documents
and newspapers which 1 have bought
while here and not yet had time to
read. These I shall read and digest
at my leisure. When 1 have obtained
the perspective which rest, time and

The Countess de Spitzbergen takes any
thing else when she is going to or coming from
America. Beautiful parlor mahogany finish. Bed
room in ivory. Bathroom in baby blue. Maids
quarters. And the rate for two adults and one
servant is only sl7o0.
Will the gentleman take it?
Indeed he will not. The Countess of Sptzber-
gen may travel in the hold if she likes, but no
baby blue or mahogany lure him to point
over the engines. Why, didn't he come over once
in suite thus located? Didn't the incessant
coughing wheeling, trembling and sneezing of the
machinery nearly drive him wild? Not wink
of sleep from the time he went abroad until he
got home Friends thought he had been sick
when he showed himself in the street.
Oh. very well. Here's an equally beautiful
suite far removed from the engines-back toward
the stern. Occupants of these apartments often
call for the captain to ask what makes the boat

vibration. Highly recommended by the best ply

Did any one ever hear of such stupidity? Here
our patient multrmillionaire has explained in de-
tail that he cannot travel at the bow of ship
because the motion is too great and the agent has
shown him suite near the stern. What's the
difference between the bow and the stern, any
way? Isn't each end balanced in the middle
where it will go up and down like the end of
walking-beam? Well, steamship man who
