New York and Paris.

While am well rooted in my French
and Latin soil, I have travelled far
through the world, and one may be-
lieve me when say that have found
no city that more resembles Paris In
its ways and the characteristics of it's
inhabitants than New York Even
London, admirable as it is, is more
apart. This is not to say that New
York is not profoundly original, but
that between it and Paris there are
parallel originalities. The gayety of the
streets; already certain aspects of pic
turesque antiquity; the atmosphere of
welcoming; the vivacious spirit, cordial
hospitality and disinterested enthusi-
asm for talent, merit or novelty; a GER
tain Quickness to adopt and to discard
ideas, art movements and people; q
restleSsness at times too feverish; a
love of pleasure, elegance and luxury;
tendency to respond instantly and as
one man to any great and international
event-all this rs what makes of Paris
and New York, each in its own particu-
lar way, with its little faults and grand
qualities, the two most sympathetic,
the most electric" cities Of the civ
ilized world.-Jules Bots in Century.

The Great Secret.

The regulation Of our time is more
important than the effort to get mon
ey. When we know how to regulate
our time enough money will always
come. Earning living is only mat
ter of learning how to spend ones
time. And singular as this may seem,
it is not the time spent in earning a
living that counts so much as the time
spent when we are not earning it. 1t
is what you do when you don't have
to do anything that tells in the long
run.
When, therefore, you are not busy
trying to make both ends meet spend
your time in associating with million
aires and people who have nothing to
do but spend enormous incomes. You'll
be a millionaire yourself before you
know it. If you want to catch a dis
ease always expose yourself to it.

Have You a Dodge Miniature?

There are today a very large number
OF homes in America where the most
treasured possession is small old fash
toned miniature, painted some time be-
tween the years 1923 and 1870, most
likely, and which bears in tiny, unos-
tentatious lettering the name Of the
artist, 81. Dodge" If the miniature
be that of bona fide ancestor and not
that Of the bought variety its posses
sion is better than a d. A. r. pin, for
in practically every instance it is all
the proof necessary that the family an
cestor was somebody. For the artist
who painted these pictures did the
most mastery work, and his patrons
represented the statesmen and lead
ers of their time. Henry Clay, An
"ew Jackson, James K. Polk, Andrew
IsOn, Aaron Burr-men famous

immigrants and the Birth Rate.

The figures given out by the census
bureau showing what is described as an
astonishingly higher birth rate among
foreign born Americans than among
native Americans are perhaps not so
astonishing after ALL
It is common knowledge that the
families of foreign born parents are
larger than purely American families.
It is safe to say that they have been
for many years, though the figures now
published are the first ever made by
the national government, but persons
who are distinctly American in their
feeling, habits, prejudices, customs and
thinking continue to govern America
and lead the American people.
That the more rapid increase of the
elements brought into the population
by recent immigration will have tend
ency to unamericanize America is an
assumption that lacks support in ma
tional experience. Our experience is
that America makes Americans of Eu-
ropeans.-St. Louis Republic

Justice White a Great Walker.

Chief Justice White could give the
noted Edward Payson Weston a good
handicap and beat him in a walking
match. Mr.. White brims over with
good nature, says Elisha Hanson in
Cartoons Magazine, and he is a well
come visitor on any street which he
picks for his rambles about Washing
ton. He probably knows more women
and children in the poorer sections, be-
tween the capitol and the exclusive
northwest of the city, than any other
Washingtonian. Frequently he is seen
trudging along in the midst Of a lot of
urchins, none of whom shows the slight
est regard for the great dignity of his
office, but who bask equally under the
radiance of his beaming smiles.

Petty Spite,

The late Mrs. Inez Milholland Boisse-
vain, the suffrage worker, had frank
nature, and nothing was more objec-
tiOnable to her than spitefulness.
'There is too much petty spite,' she
said one day, among women who pre-
tend to be friends.
''Two women sat at tea in Fifth
avenue restaurant.
There goes Mr.. Smith in his new
car said one of the women. She add
ed, with a shipper, What a fbbing fiat
terer he is, to be surev
why? Did he tell you you were

Doinq Others.

The famous phrase in David Har-
um" which reads, 'Do unto the other
fellow the way he would like to do
unto yOu-and do it fust," has had al
most universal currency, and to most
people its novelty was one of its at
fractions. But if you turn to Dickens
Martin Chuzxlewit' you will find that
young Jonas remarks in one place,

Seen on an Ostrich Farm.

1t is no uncommon thing to see a
male ostrich strutting about followed
by three or four distinct broods. all OF
different sizes. When the incubatins
process is completed the cock bird leads
his young ones off and. if he meets an
other proud papa. engages in terrific
combat with him. The vanquished biril
retires without a single chick. while
the other, surrounded by the two
broods. walks away triumphantly.
