The ideas of foreigners regarding
the size and characteristics of this
country do not .seem to grow leas
amusing with age, and the state
ment that in London there are peo
ple who think New York is s city
of Indians is not so farfetched as
some consider it.
The writer diet at Long Branch
last summer and Englishwoman,
and a cultured Englishwoman at
that, who had gone there directly
after landing from a „steamer in
New York. Haring casually men-
! tioned that 1 was born in Brooklyn,
' she remarked that she had met
some people named Henderson who
lived on Long Island and wondered
if I knew them. 1 asked in what
part of Long Island they lived, and
she naively answered, "Oh, down
near the business section!”
A young Englishman whose cous
in is in tne grain business in this
city came over to see his relative
ana also to see something of the
country.. One of the first places
suggested to him was Niagara falls,
and at train time th e Englishman
presented himself minus overcoat
and hand bag.
“Where's your grip?” asked his
cousin.
“Why, can’t we ran over and see
the falls and get back tonight?”
he asked.
On being assured th a t he could
not.he began'asking questions re
garding distances and ended with,
"How big is this state?”
When he was told that it was
bigger than the whole of England
there were no fitting words to ex
press his wonderment.
Another young Englishman
to New York during a very warm
Indian summer. He spent a week
there and then went on to Canada,
returning to New York p i March
to embark for England.
He was asked the inevitable ques
tion, “How do you like America?”
His answer was: “ I t’s a nawsty
country» 'A rf the year you are
roasted, and the other ’arf you are
up to your waist in snow.”
A New Yorker went to Brazil
last year to put in a few months
one of the cattle ranges. O ne day
a young Irishman rode into
to see the New Yorker, sayi&£
he had ridden forty miles to do so,
as he wished to inquire of him as to
the health of his brother, who left
Ireland ten years before and was
settled in New York city. There
I was no question in his mind but
that the -two would know each
other.
Still our foreign cousins are not
so much more vague on these sub-
jects than are some natives. For
instance, a man in Maine whom . I
met last summer told me in the
course of a conversation that he
had “been west as far as Boston.”

Custom house stories are always
interesting. The hero of this one,
a Swiss missionary, was returning
to Basle from South America, tak
ing with him some skulls dis
covered in ancient Patagonian bury
ing places. At the frontier the au
thorities insisted on inspecting his
trunk. They classified the skulls as
“bones of animals” and demanded
duty at the rate of a penny a pound.
The missionary protested, and it
▼as presently agreed that as the
skulls were for scientific purposes
they must be allowed to enter with
out payment.
The only question was how to
classify them tor the purposes of
the Swiss statistical bureau. This
problem was debated at great
length, bat ultimately the skulls
went through as “personal effects
already worn.”—New York Sun.

The story of Jules Verne’s court
ship and marriage is a most roman
tic one. Verne was a shy young fel
low who had a great dislike to the
society of women, and it was only
his affection for his brother which
led him to go to the latter's wed
ding. Verne, however, arrived too
late and found that the whole bridal
party had left for the church with
the exception of the bride’s sister,
a charming young widow, who ex
plained the matter. The friendship
thus accidentally begun rapidly de
veloped into a wanner feeling and
ended in a marriage which may be
described as ideal.
