served to the present writer: “When I landed at New York (it was after a year’s absence) I was perfectly ashamed of myself for staring at the men the way I did, but I couldn’t help it. I could not take my eyes off them, they seemed to me too beautiful for anything after those,” And yet we prefer to marry Englishmen, I am told that we do so in ever-increasing numbers, Why is this, since American men are so handsome? In the first place there is the natural tendency of women to be attracted by the new and the unusual. It seems to have been indi as in America as the ancient arrow TF found to his cost when Hiawatha came to woo in the land of the Dacotahs: a yonth with flaunting feathers, : 8 strani With his flute of reeds: a 2. Wi ving through the ¥ fairest mai ae. and As with Minehaha so with American girls who have less musical names; they leave all things for the er. The Englishman comes smong us surroun: of mystery. We don’t know all about b+ people, nor where he was at college, nor what his business is. nor how much last speculation brought him. Indeed, he never talks about his business at all, which is quite too fascinating a peculiarity; and then he lis- tens to what we say with an air of absorption and delight which our young men never suc- ceed in acquiring. They also, no doubt, listen to our remarks, but they never give us their undivided attention. There is always a wrinkle on their foreheads, or at all evénts an anxious twist in the eyebrow which means that they still have an eye on their business and are wondering how it is getting on while they are away wasting their precious time on our non- sense. THE ENGLISHMAN AT A PICNIO will stretch himself on the grass at your feet and smoke his cigarette lazily in manifest con- tent, and by and by he will say very slowly: “Ah, you know—this is what I call happiness. I should like it to go on forever.” The Ameri- can gets you ices with exemplary zeal and promptitude, and he finds for you the coolest nook wherein to rest; then he stands bolt up- right be ay @ tree, and looks Seng die anxiously at his watch, After a while he ho; “the girls won’ of going for a ramble in the because he must catch the half past 5 train back to town.

Mr. Max O’Rell strikes the keynotes of American life when he says everybody works—young, old, rich and poor. ‘The idle man who in Europe is called a gentle- man in Chicago isa loafer. That is just it— work without ceasing is making America one of the most prosperous, but also one of the most unbeautiful imaginable. Nobody, either rich or poor, has time to idle; and nobody seems to realize that it is only in idleness and leisure, or at least in cessation from the pursuit of wealth, that anything beautiful will be evolved out of either brain or hand. PURGATORY AND PARADISE. There is another point to be considered. Matthew Arnold said that America was the paradise of the working man. England is cer- tainly the paradise of the married woman, and it would scarcely be an exaggeration to say that America, by comparison, is her purgatory. The freedom’ and happiness enjoyed by the American girl prepares her badly for the drudgery of married life. And this is not be- cause our men are cruel or bad husbands; far from it, but simply because the conditions of married life in America are averse to hap- piness. That American marriages are very often unhappy is notoriously the case, as is shown by ibe list of divorces that fills the papers. One of the main causes of this is the defective domestic arrangements, which throw an overwhelmmg burden upon the shoulders of the American wife. She has to she may be delicate, work so hard, even bey ay = that she has no time to peppy. Her nerves are soon worn out, her health gives way, misery ensues, and relief is sought in the vorce court. The trouble was not that she married the wrong man, as she foolishly imagines, but that she had no servants. En- glish women don’t realize the blessings they enjoy in being able to obtain the services of capable servants. When, as is frequently the case, I hear them bemoaning the troublesome- ness of their servants, wishing in their folly that they had none, and saying would be better off without them, I feel _inclii to arise like a prophetess and say: “Hold! Speak not thus. When the time comes that you have no domestic servants you will have seen the sun set upon YOUR LAST HAPPY DAY. Let me give an example froma typical Amer- ican family of the well-to-do middle class, It isa type of thousands which may be séen anywhere in the eastern states. There was the father, a business man, who left home at 7 a. m. during six days in the week, to return twelve and a half hours later, too tired and weary to dream of recreation or amusement; there was the mother, a delicate woman with two children, one an infant; the grandmother, @ vigorous of fifty-five, and a cousin of twenty. The was entirely self-support- ings was not a-servant init. Every con- wance that brains could devise or money was there to lighten the labor; vat the women were and never had i or enjoy life in aré open to $10,000 and $15,000 a year; but no money could buy the services of good and faithful domes- tian the “famil Doarding. house,” the of ir, “family -house,” chose to be their own servants. ‘The visitors ia this family were expected to “pull their own weight” in the household. It was an amuse- ment for a European visitor to do so, but one could see that such a system deprived the women of all chance of social happiness and pleasure. In fact, when they poe rest they came To EUROPE FOR TWO YEaRs, Now, again, there is another reason why we like England. We are more thought of here when married than in our owncountry.

THE DANGERS OF IMPERFECTLY PREPARED AND POROUS RUBBERS. Dr. David Genese, in Annals of Hyxiene. The coloring matter of rubber false-teeth plates is chiefly some oxide of metal, that of lead being of a bright red, while the oxides of bismuth, antimony, aluminum and manganese will give the rubber the brown color running to maroon, and the pink is obtained from ana- line colors. But it is not in the metallic oxides used in preparation of rubber that danger li: (as the percentage of rubber sore mouths is so small—one in fifty thousand—but in the vul- canization itself, which instead of converting the prepared rubber as received from the de- pots into vuleanite can be, by carelessness, converted into a porous plate, containin; hundreds of thousands of minute holes, cock able to absorb and retain the fermentation from food products, and by its presence con- stantly against the tissues of the mouth cause blood poison. This porosity is caused by over- heating the rubber, thereby converting the sulphur in the mass into sulphurous acid, de- stroying the fiber of the rubber by decomposi- tion and setting free the metallic oxides. Whereas, if rubber is cured or vulcanized properly at @ temperature never exceeding two hundred and eighty to three hundred de- grees Fahrenheit, it will retain its elastic fibers intact; the sulphur will be in its natural state, permeating the rubber and holding the coloring matter so hermetically sealed in its substance that no moisture will dissolve, even strong sul- phurie acid will not touch it. It isthe duty of those making rubber plates to attend to these details in the process of manufacture, but where cheap dentistry is sought after, hurry is the result and the conse- quence very dangerous. ——-— see. A Story About Wendell Phillips. Arlo Bates in the Book Buyer. Agentleman who knew them both recently repeated to me the following bit of dialogue as having been eaid to take place between Wen- dell Phillips and Thomas G. Appleton, when they were young briefless barristers. He did not vouch for it, but he believed it to be genuine. The fact that both Appleton and Phillips we: looked upon as aristocrats prevented their ha‘ ing business, and one day Appleton asked his friend whether he had any clients, “Not a client,” was the reply. “How long,” Appleton asked, “are you ing to hold on? I'm getting pretty tired of it myself.” “I think I'll try it six months ” Phil- lips answered, “‘and if I don’t getastart by that time I shall take up a cause.” As a matter of fact Mr. Phillips did take upa cause, as all the world knows, while Mr. go ton became the most charming dilettanti, but whether the choice of the former was the resul of a determination so deliberate as this anec- dote would imply may well be doubted. eo. —___ Sax It’s a Canarp.—A St. Paul special to the New York Worid says: Regarding the reported killing of five French tourists in Yellowstone a in itches to-day, General er Agent Charles 8.
