The first thing I wanted to see in In dia was the "Black Hole" of Calcutta. I could hardly wait to see the famous prison in which. In 1756, 133 people were suffocated in a single night One hundred and fifty six British prisoners, captured by the natives, were cast Into a room eighteen feet square, and the following morning only twenty-three of, them were living. Without waiting to unpack my trunk I hurried to the spot But I was sadly disappointed, for all there was there was a monument with-a chain around it I felt cheated. In America we would have given the visitor something for his money. We would have pre served the prison, with Its two small windows, and put a showcase in the corner with samples of the nails and a rusty hinge. The restored prison would have been filled with wax fig- ures, their coats noticeably dusty and hunched at the collar, and outside would have been a lineal descendant of one of the survivors, selling post card views and a history of the “hole' for a quarter.—Homer Croy In Les- lie's.

ASK FOR SAMPLES AND After one has ridden for a few weeks on Tokyo trams he realizes that more than 2,000,000 people, living within a radius of three miles of the Imperial palace, require many trams to carry them. Seats are always at a premium. Even the New York subway Is not as continually crowded. The trams are fast, well handled and plenteous, but a moving stairway or sidewalk covering all the tram lines In the city would scarcely fill the bill. There are five or six stations from which trains depart for different parts of the empire, but these stations are only joined by city trams, so that If one wants to go from Tokyo station, the terminus of the Shimonoseki line to Europe, to Ueno station, whence trains depart for Nikko, Karuizawa. Sendai and Hokkaido, he must take a riksha, a taxicab or a street car or else circle the city for more than twenty miles in more than an hour to reach a station that is only a mile and a half away as the crow flies.—Maynard Owen Williams in Christian Herald.

While I am well rooted in my French and Latin soil, 1 have traveled far through the world, and one may be lieve me when I say that I have found no city that more resembles Paris in its wsys and the characteristics of Its 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 letween 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 cer tain quickness to adopt and to discard ideas, art movements and people; h restlessness at times too feverish; a love of pleasure, elegance and luxury; a tendency to respond instantly and as one man to any great and international erent—all this Is what makes of Paria and New York, each In Ita own particu lar way. with Ita little faulta and grand qualities, the two most sympathetic, This is the wife of a popular physician of Umatil’a county Her eyes were straight the most "electric" cities of the civ- ened w it h glasses in our ortica In twenty minutes The principles of glass fitting that did tilled world.—Ju lea Bola In Century. changing.
