MIGHT LEARN FROM FRENCH
American Writer 81 Opinion There Are
Things His countrymsn Could
Pro6tzbiy Absorb.

They are a wonderful folk. these
French. and there is no people from
whom Americans can learn more OF
the art Of living. While we. with our
high rents. are harassed by the ques-
tion Of where to live. they. In spite OF
their high rents. think only Of how 10
live. We would do well TO spend less
thought on the abode and more on the
mode. We could lean from them TO
forget our national timidity and TO dis
cover our next-door neighbors, says
writer In Leslie's.
The contrast between the excited
buzz and chatter and gayety that
strikes one on entering even the most
homely French restaurant and the
frightened and tremulous whispering
thrown in between long intervals of
logged eating that goes ON in our own
restaurants is enough to shame any
good American. We could learn from
| them TO put aside our little pamphlets
ON Facts About Sugar" long enough
to enjoy the beauty of a hillside-and
still make enough money out OF the
sugar business.
Our shopkeepers could learn that
politeness does not drive away trade
We could have learned, alas, how ta
drink and how not to drink behind
swing-doors, or too strongly or too
much. The American business mar
who hopes to do business with thu
French must learn to deal with for
eigners as well as they do and not II
look upon what seems to him an ex
aggerated politeness as a rich bit O

A large paper mill at Vargo, Sweden,
was recently rebuilt on the most i'm
proved lines. Formerly 10000 tons Of
coal were consumed annually, and the
problem Of maintaining this supply
was very serious one, but at the
present time no coak whatever Is con-
sumed at the plant. The boilerhouse
contains seven electric" boilers, each
Of 5000 horsepower, and the current
enters the boilers at pressure of
10000 volts, without having to be
stepped down. Each of the boilers is
provided with three electrodes, and the
coupling arrangements are such that
steam generation can be regulated
within per cent. 1t Is stated that
full steam pressure can be raised in
from five to ten minutes after switch
ing on the current, and considerable
economy in attendance is obtained. as
compared with coal firing.

Off flew the messenger, twittering
with joy and pride. But when it was

toward the north. His heart leaped
within him and his soul was full of the
pride of his errand. He ran far and
fast. But when he reached Asia, and
climbed among the bearded mountains,
deep in the holes where there was no
snow he saw CLEANS Of yellow.
"What is this strange color in the
white world?" said the man. He
stopped and looked. And then he
went little nearer. And almost be-
fore he knew it, he had the yellow
things in his hands. At once his green
cup turned bright yellow and he cried
out In amazement and fear. Then he
saw that his hands were yellow, too.
And he knew that he could not bear
the great message.
So he stayed in the mountains with
the yellow things, which were grains
of gold. And ever since then he will
forget a great message at times when
he sees the yellow gold in the earth.
When man did not return, the Sun
said: Make another cup, little Spring,
and send it by white tiger. He is
strong and fierce and will speed for
you"
White tiger took the green cup and
bounded away full of pride. But he
had not gone far before a white deer
sprang heedlessly into him. How
dare you run into met! cried white
tiger. do you not know that l an

with one blow of his white paw he
struck the little deer dead.
Instantly it's blood dyed his greer

that he could not bear the great mes

anguish. That is why the tiger Il
striped red now. And the red lille

The biggest attraction in New York
is the multimillionaire. Sightsee-s
from the hinterland who crowd Fifth
avenue buses are not half so interested

ting a first-hand, intimate view Of the
great captains of industry and finance.
SO say the men that whirl these
sightseers over and across New York
by day and by night.
Sightseeing buses ply the financial
district, it is true, but the conductors
are as ignorant of who's who down
around Wall street as their passen-
| gers from Oshkosh. Alfalfa Center or
| Deer Trail, but Wall street is the de-
| mand of the passengers, nevertheless,
| and when the sightseeing buses reach
| Wall street they invariably discharge
at least so per cent of their cargo,
which goes abroad to see the sights
| for itself.
The sight of Vanderbilt or an As
| tor would repay most Of these sight
seers, say the bus conductors. A close
up Of John d. Rockefeller, Jr., might
cause stoppage Of traffic, they de-
