warmth communicates itself to his
cold bones-if it is winter they are
sure to be like icicles-he discovers
that it is deceptively light and deli
ciously comfortable. In Switzerland
the beds attain little more height,
but it is in Germany that they become
of such an altitude as to necessitate
a pair of steps to mount them.
Tricks Played on the Traveller.
Sometimes in European hotels the
tourist is taken solemnly to one side
and told that by paying a few francs
or lire more he can have the royal
bedchamber. A certain hotel in Sor-
rento, where a dozen or more royal
heads have lain in one season, is even
more generous, for if the rooms are
empty they make no extra charge.
And the traveller lives to recount when
he is back on his native heath how his
cheek pressed the same pillow that
had been used by the little queen Of
Holland or the king of Saxony. But
that is not a purely European custom,
for to this day in a certain Boston ho-
Prince Henry Of Prussia is listed at
about $40 day more than any other
room in the house.
Most American travellers on their
first trips abroad are astounded when
upon the day of their departure from
hotel they are presented with their
bill by the head waiter instead of by
hc 10 l,,h Il; e al Ill Dali
it is the custom and this important in
dividual is thus assured of his tip.
The traveller thinks it a little
strange that coffee is always extra at
luncheon and dinner, but when he or
ders coffee, at an average of or 6
cents extra the cup, it is freshly made
expressly for him and is not the cot
fee that has stood for hours in the
pot. Another thing that strikes him
as funny is the fact that there are ele-
vators to go up, but that he cannot
use them to go down. One European
sign in a small hotel reads: "No one
is allowed to descend in the elevator
but invalids and the aged" In the
larger hotels the lifts are used as
they are in America, but so leisurely
are they that one usually prefers to
run downstairs on shanks mare.
Economy in lights is another trait,
and where, as usual, there are two
electric lights in the room, one over
the bed to read by and another in
without turning the other off. But a
young American engineer solved the
difficulty by unscrewing the porcelain
cap of the switch and sticking in a
hairpin to make the connection. He
had two lights, and no one was ever
the wiser And his conscience? It
never troubled him at all; it was one
of those elastic ones you read about.
1t does not take long to remember,
| after you once know. that If you
want to buy salt in Italy you must go
| to a tobacco shop to get it; for both
salt and tobacco are government mo-
nopolies. And it is pleasure to learn
| that in France you can buy stamps
and postcards at tobacco shops, which
are under government jurisdiction
there as well. Also that in both coun-
tries you can send kilograms at as low
a rate as Ia cents for ten words, and
that special delivery letters will go
| for 6 cents in Paris If you remember
to write across your envelope "Pneu-
matique," which means that the letter
will be shunted through a pneumatic
tube in no time at all, and delivered
almost as soon as a telegram.

AS Waists Used to Be.

A London paper prints an article
from the ladies' treasury of 1866, in
which prize is offered for the woman
with the smallest waist in proportion
to her size. A silk dress was the first
prize and gold watch second prize.
In the school in which the prize was

were required to sleep in corsets,
which could, however, be loosened

ping dramas of intense heart interest
a stirring Indian picture and a beau
tiful Rex.
"The Straight Read" Reliance A
splendid story with a moral. A busy
man neglected his wife and even
when his child died it failed to arouse
him. One night a youth broke into
her home, and, captured by the wo-
unan, told her story of privation
which touched her heart and she gave
him some money and photograph
of her dead boy as a reminder that
the only road to happiness is the
straight path. A year later when he
was about to slope, the boy came back
to return the money and her husband
found her later sobbing by the little
bed of their lost child He awoke at
last to realization of his neglect and
they began life anew.

brothers were away, Rosa took money
from their secret hiding place to buy
a guady scarm. Her brother-in-law de-
nounced her as thief and fearful lest

with remorse she worked to save his
life, and he shielded her by telling the
husband that he took the money. Its

Mr.. Leahy, who was 70 years Of age,

land many years ago. He bought a
small farm at New Lots, and made q
good living as truck gardener. Short
ly after consolidation he sold his new
Lots farm for more than 100000
after which he bought land adjoining
Deepdale, the estate Of William X
Vanderbilt Jr, at Lakeville.
Many overtures were made by Mr.
Vanderbilt and his agents to induce
Leahy to sell, but he had no further
need for money. Having accumulated
million he thought he was entitled
to residence in the millionaire col
ony.
