One bright spring morning in 1898
something of a furore was created
among the passengers on the little

the identity of three distinguished
personages aboard. They were trav-

them as the count of Paris, his son,

60RATI0N IS IN AIR
Writer'S Explanation of Vital Differ
ence Between the londoner
and the New Yorker.

The difference between New
York and London" a man once said
to me, lis this: In New York. if you
have a new idea, you can get it car
ried out at once; in London, if you
have new idea, you are up against
q brick wall"
believe this TO be true, writes
Maurice Barring in the Metropolitan.
People in New York, and in America
in general. are not afraid of new
ideas. nor, indeed of anything new.
They are not afraid of the future. In
England. If man finds for instance.
that his profession Is uncOngenial to
him, however certain he may be OF
the impossibility of his making a sue
cess Of 1t. he will none the less very
rarely give it up. and try his hand
at something else. The future alarms
him. In America a man will think
nothing Of throwing up his profession
twenty times running. until he finds
something which does suit him.
| think the cause of this particular
difference lies in the climate OF Amer
lea. and especially lies in the climate
Of New York. Just as the climate Of
some places fills the whole system
with an invincible desire to do moth
ing. with an insuperagle languor and
sloth, In the same way the climate
OF New York fills the body and mind
with the desire to be up and about
1t is the nimble air which produces
the nimble wits; the stimulating at
mosphere which creates. in the deni-
zen of New York, the love of hustle,
hurry competition and work am
not saying this is either a good thing
or a bad thing am merely noting
and recording what struck me as be-
ing the main differences between New
York and London.

Americans Need Not Go Abroad
for Health.
New Yorker Tells His lce-
Relates How He Rested W rom
Heat and Overwork by Hot and
Cold Water Treatments.

New York.-In the blistering sum
mer weather. when tens OF thousands
of overworked and nerve-wrecked
Americans are swarming to the wa.
tering places and cure houses of Eu-
rope, it is worth while to consider the
results which one can get by common
sense methods at home, James Creel-
man writes.
Hydrotherapy! To the average man
or woman, it is hard, big word, big
with mystery.
Yet, in a general way, 1t means
nothing more than the scientific and
systematic use of hot and cold water
to tone up and restore the nervous sys-
tenn.
Right in your own bathroom you
may do for yourself nearly anything
that can be done for you in the great
est hydropathic establishments of Ger
many or France.
A little more than a year ago

wreck. Overwork had reduced me to
a condition of exhaustion, and l tum-

for the nerves what dumbbells do for
the muscles.

ADMIRED u. S. GIRLS

stories and love songs dashed off in a
glass OF wine and the spice of adven-
ture.
When the party returned at mid
night the count awoke to learn the
truth and things were blue around the
hotel. Catching them sneaking into
their rooms, he Numbered his censure
and threatened to disinherit the duke
for so far forgetting himself as to visit
strange women out Of his station and
start gossip.
Picture the horrid American news
papers out with your escapades In
CHASTITY headlines!" he growled. ugh.
I'm most shocked and mortified. And

house of Bourbon! Let us prepare to

Comte de Paris. with the duke and
the prince, caught the 800 a. m. ex-
press for Washington. Luckily for
the former, he did not even see the
cautiously doctored story of the esca-
pade. Soon they sailed for Europe.
A year later the count of Paris died
and the duke Of Orleans became the
head of the house of Bourbon and
claimant of the throne.

Spiders Catch and Eat Fish.

Specimens of the spider known as
Thalassius Spenceri are in the mu-
scum at Durham, Natal. and the Gu
rator, E. c. Chubb, has just made sci
entific announcement of the discovery
of a member of this species in the act
of catching fish for food.
One of the spiders was captured
several years ago by the Rev. N
Abraham at Greytown, and it was
placed in an aquarium. A servant
boy soon noticed the creature eating
a pet fish, and the startled clergyman
left his study to watch.
The spider. three inches across with
legs extended, stationed itself at the
waters edge, with two legs on a
stone and tho eight others spread out
on the water. After a time a fish
came under the outstretched legs.

at once climbing out on the rocks. 1t
soon ate a fish of four times it's own
weight.

WANT BEEF, NOT BEAR MEAT
California Man Offers Flesh to the
Public With Very Indifferent
Success.

Sacramento.-Near Bonner station,
in the Sierras, bears are making their
appearance in numbers. Hungry after
their winters Information. they are
coming out In the open in search Of
food, only to fall victims to the guns
of hunters.
A. w. Lorraine, a resident Of that
section, killed last week and shipped
to this city 15O-pound bear to sell in
the local markets, with the statement
that II there was any demand for this
kind of meat he would no doubt be
able to make frequent shipments, as
the bears seemed to be very plentiful
this year.
Despite the fact that the animal had
been an occupant Of its winters den
for several months, its flesh was In
fairly good condition, but the general
public did not seem to take kindly to
It, and there Is little likelihood that
bear meat will become a part of the
usual diet of northern California.

Concerning Men With Tails.

It would not be wise to build upon
the story of the coast natives that In
the interior Of Papua there are men
with tails. Similar beliefs have been
held in many parts of the world and
many ages. sometimes from impress
sions of apes, sometime from more
or less spiteful credulity about a peo-
Piles neighbors. For centuries 1t was
q common gibe on the Continent that
Englishmen had tails. 1t originated
from the story that the people of
Canterbury or Strood, having Knocked
1t st. Thomas riding upon little ass
and cut off its tail, were punished
with the curse that thenceforth all
their boys should be born with tails
And the SCOTS of other Englishmen at
the "Kentish longtails" rebounded up
on the Whole nation. so that even in
the time Of Edward vi. Englishmep
abroad suffered from the taunt
