It Ios Not Come Up to Our America Ideas of Comfort. We exaggerate in our minds the lux ury of life on the continent. No hote. there equals any of the flrst-ciaes Ho tels in our great cities. The first thing to disappoint us is the lift what we elaborately call the elevator. It Is a poor piece of machi--ry abroad, always stopping and always out of order, says Harper's Bazar. In the best hotel in Paris, the Continental, one gets lux- ary. comfort and even splendor, but never one's cards or notes. There Is a fatal gulf for these. One is a num ber. not an individuality. The table Is however, very luxurious It is a clean and well-ordered caiavansary. As for the comfort of warmth In winter, they do not know the meaning of the word We are justly accused of exaggerating the heat of our rooni3 in America; the furnace is denounced; but after freez ing to death in Farls. one of the cold est of cities, very far north, cursed with an abominable winter climate one returns willingly to me neaieu rooms of America. We exaggerate th excellence of the French bed. There is no such thing In France as that com fortable, broad, low thing which we call a French bed. A high, hard, nar row shelf U the apology far lt. We ex asgerate our comfori.3 by having gas In our sleeninz-rooms. an.1 hot an cold water in our stationary washbowl and bathrooms. They never ex-se ate comfort in France. You have as many candles as you will pay for. and no bath, unless you order it. when men laboriously bring you a tub filled with hot and cold water, and take it away after you have bathed. We exaggerate very much the supposed good living In France. To go to a hotel .In Paris to live we must expect out of the season very little good food, very little that Is sustaining and nourishing. It is "all sauce." There are no good Joints of mutton, no good American desserts. There Is an especial discomfort to the sick, who never get good toast, good cuttard, good tapioca pudding nor oysters that they like. He Fooled the Surgeons.

One of the houses on my route Is the home of a traveling man wno spends about half his time out or town, said a New Orleans letter-car rier to a Times-Democrat reporter. When he goes on a trip he and his wife exc-ange a postal card every day. reg ular as the clock. Tbe lady always gives me her cards to mail, ana i couldn't help noticing that both they and the ones she received were always perfectly blank. All they ever con tained was the address, and those that came to the wife had even that printed instead of written. I confess the thing made me curious, and I thought up all kinds of theories sympathetic Ink. se cret marks on the edges and a lot of other nonsense for which I never dis covered any evidence. I happened to know th drummer pretty well, and. meeting him one day. I couldn't resist asking him about the blank cards. "So you've been trying m -u cm. u you?" he said, laughing. I expected that, and took it good-naturedly. Then he explained. "My wife and I are nat urally poor letter writers." he said, -but we want to hear from each other every day. so as to know that nothing n wrong. We used to write iiL- other folks, but it was a hard Job. and one evening we got to looking over some of our old letters, and they seemed so stupid and forced that" we were really ashamed of ours .ves. Then we thought of this blank card scheme, and it has worked like a charm. It means simply that all is well. Before I go on the road each of us knows the other's programme and the receipt of the cards means that nothing has hap pened to change our plar-. The av tn of ink and imbecility haa been enormous."

It Wa a Work of Skill Tliat Kverybo-7 Could Not I. The art of cutting a utiill by adept "quill-drivers" was diag out when I first began schooling. ritl pens had been known for some time, but were not in general use. The goose quiii pen died a hard death a a commonly used writing tool. My first school master was a first-rate hand at cutting a quill, and he could use it with won derful effects In flourishes. It was his boast that he could fill the first page of a lad's school book with name, age. date and flourishes in which wore de picted wonderful swans and other birds in such a fashion th it none but experts like himself cou'.d tell where the quill pen was taken from the pa per for a fresh dip.
