Having lately vlsltod Englnnd uflorn long abgenre, my mind nincu my return 1mm boon busy with tliomibjoct of thu ro IntloiiH botwoon ourFccncry and tbat ot (bo old world. I visited it dull part of Hampshire On leaving thohousowlicro I wan staying it was necessary to get up to an early breakfast to catch a train. Two young soldiers, very pleasant nnd friendly follows, who went away at the some- tirao, wero in tho cab with ma Roforenco was niado to tlo scenery, and ono of thorn, who had been in America, said, "Yon Americans mny not always say you admire England, but in your hearts yon know tbrro in nothing liko it " I looked ont of tho cab window at (ho flat and very rolled out landscape, ont up into squares and plots by iron fencos, which, however, with Kh sparso oaks standing hero and thorp, was not without a classic grace, nml thought of tho fresh and magio outlines of tho Vir ginia mountains. But thu hour was much too early and too drowsy to allow of any oppression of dissent. It is an old question, that botweon tho scenery of tho two worlds. It is simple enough, however, with an obvious answer. Hero it is primeval and virgin naturo; there, naturo affected by man and art. Tho dlfTcrcuco between European nnd American trees and woodlands is sig nificant of this. Early in September an acquaintance took mo to look at a re markable oak on his placo in Kssox, which ho said had been thought by homo persons to bo nrclioof tho niiolent Urit ish forest. This oak, which was not very high, threw its powerful arms straight out in all directions ovor a wide space of ground. Cortaluly such u tree could not havo stood in an aboriginal forest. There would not havo been suftlciout sun to produce so great an amount ot leafage, nnd (hero would lmvo been no room for such n vast lateral extension. It so happened that-only a few months beforo, in Juno perhaps, I had sceu in Tenuessco a good deal of a forest which was almost virgin. Tho trees went straight upward to n great height, tho boles being clean of branches a long distauco from tho ground, and tho leaf ago scant, except at tho top, where it re ceived tho sun. I rodo into tho middlo of thbt forest. Tho trees wero often so close together that it would havo been hard for u horfio to go between them, and my horse followed the bed of a stream which was so shallow that it scarcoly more than wet his fetlocks, tho rhododendrons being very thick on each side of me. Halting in tho midst of tho lovel floor of tho forest, it was an im pressive sceno which I found. Tho palo, lofty trunks stood overywhero parallel, and with a stately decorum and regular ity, except where, half way up tho ad jacent mountain side, some tumbling trees, leaning at angles against their surrounding fellows, which had nrrest od them in falling, varied tho universal propriety with a noble confusion, tho gray trunks looking liko mighty fallen pillars of a ruined toinplo. It is true that our scenery is not vory rich in its associations of huniuu history. This source of interest wo havo hero only to a slight degree. liut thu land scape has its own history. Is it not well to consider that history? Is not scenery mado moro imprcssivu by tho study of those sublime changes which havo pro pared tho world which wo sc and may not tho disclosures of men uf science, bo for m the tiulcanied are capable of com probendlng their., be brought tothoserv ice of tho sense of natural beauty? Another contrast there may bo in tho, scenery of tho two lands. There is this to bo said of English scenery it is suit ublu to thu luxury and uomfort of Eug lish country life. It is appropriate to the English fleshpots. There are plenty of country houses throughout England in which material comforts aru of tho best, and which at certain Minsoiis con tain much agrecablo company of both soxrs. I had somo experience of such a hotibo in Surrey. Tho library was excel lent. For a wonder tho weather was good, tho ephemeral British suiihliine remaining all day on tho southern walls and really lavish among thoho flowers of tho garden you do not know by name. Easily detained by such 1111 existence, you are not inclined to anything moro active than somu kind of pleasant read ing and are likely to loso your placo at that, While your gazo ru.sts upon tho hills to the west. To such a life and such a stato of mind tho vague, soft as pect of tho Surrey hills was most suita ble two impalpable ranges of hills, al luring to tho eyes. Essences thoy seem ed rather than htibntanco or matter. and unreal, save in their gentle emer ald coloring. And they wero always ly-i ing there, quivering as in a dream a liiiragu which did not go away. If thero is an agreement between lux ury and Etiglihh scenery, my r-cntiinunt Is that, on tho contrary, luxury does not suit our bccncry. An iron foundry, htrango to bay, does 110 harm. A forgo, u ruetory liy tlio side or a jKmd filled with water lilies I lmvo now in mind the Now England landscape these uro not unsuitable. But a Hue house in some way is, and my senso of incongru ity extends as well to those mansions which a friend describes as Queen Anno in the front and Mary Ann in tho rear. Architecture, both private and public, should bo such as is bulted to tho local requirements and history. A white spire, for instance, marking such a church as New England farmers have built for generations, what an eloquent object in a wido and uudiilatiug view! E. S. Niulal in Century. How Two HpnnNIi firntteinen Happened to l'orgct tn l'ny Tliclr Cheek. There is 11 small nil night restaurant in n Twenty-eighth streot basement whero gentlemen of 'mora or less bo- bemlan instincts sometimes go for n quiet bottle nnd n tasto of ecusonablo dolicacics. I As I sat thrro ono night I observed (hat tho two sharp featmed gentlemen I in dress suits who snt at tho tublu next ' (o mino had already dispatched their sec ond bottlo of Chateau Yquem, besides a liberal array of toothsome edibles. Thoy wero now chatting over their cigarettes. Tho greater part of tho conversation was In Spanish. Finally they gathered up their overcoats to go, and as they step ped toward tho desk, apparently to set (lo (ho bill, ono of them said to tho waiter, "Call in our cab driver and givo him a drink." Tho Jehu enteral promptly. "I'll loavo tho door open if you don't mind, sons to keep an eyo on tho boss, " ho said. "Ho plays tricks on mo some times." Tho beaming"night hawk" had raised his glss, of n liberal thrco fingers of whisky? and was just remarking, " 'Ero's looking at ye, gentlemen," when ho glanced out tho open door and realized that tho "boss that plays tricks somotlmes" was loisnrcly ambling off toward Broadway. Dropping tlio glass unempticd, bo bolted for tho door, close ly followed by tho two gentlemen who Woro dress suits nnd tnlked Spanish. Tho latter were laughing merrily, as though tho whole affair wero a good joko. They didn't como back right away, nnd when tho cashier, somewhat uneas ily, went outside and looked down tho street, night hawk, "boss," Spanish gentlumen and all had disappeared. Thon tho cashier camo back behind his desk. Ho looked ruefully at tho llg nrcs on tho unpaid chock, bnnged tho cash register viciously as ho rang up an other customer's 10 cents for n cocktail and remarked, "I'd liko to know wheth er that 'hoss was taught to play thoso tricks or whether my Spanish friends simply took ndvautago of what was really an accident." Tho worldly wiso bartender stopped fusing a glass, dipped a towol disdain fully over bis shoulder and said with a pessimistic grin: "Thcro'B moro waysj tliau ono to lieat tho houso. I never saw that trick dono before, but I'vo heard tell of it. "Now York Herald. An Afrril Ainu's Vain Crruml In m New York l'mvnlioi.

Bald ho to tho clerk. "Nothing," replied tho clerk, with tho most discouraging accent imagina ble and npparontly without even a glanco at tho Bible, "Oh, yes, you will," said tho old man.

Tho clerk tnnicd to talk to a man who wanted to pawn a ring. Tho old man hesitated a miuuto and then re newed his effort "Well, givo mo 25 cents then," ho said "I'vo had moro than that on this before. ' "Not hero, " answered tho elcrk. "I toll you wo don't tako Bibles. Go on, now." .Tho old man gathered up his Biblo and shuftlcd away. Tho man who was pawning tho riag looked on with evident interest. He was thinking of tho many stories ho hud heard of men who would pawn thu family Biblo for drink money nnd reflecting that hero was a pawn broker whose heart was not as stony as tradition makes believo, wlvo had socio taint of sentiment, if not ot roverenco, left in him. "Is that n rulo of tho house?" ho sold to tho clerk who was making out the tickot. "What?" asked tho clerk. "That you don't tako Bibles. " "No," with n laugh. "That was just a bluff.

He was almost famous for his tall staturo, imposing air and portly figure, nnd was at once tho tallest of tho Paris beadles nnd tho senior of them all. Prevost, tho beadlo of tho Madeleine, stood next in stature, and after him camo tho beadlo of Notre Damo, an ox-drum major, who wbb engaged two years ago by Archbish op Richard.

Tho post of beadlo in n Paris church is a much envied ono among tho class of men who compete for it.

Tho uso of oil in preventing boiler scalo now so prevalent Is met with tho objection that in using othor than stand ard oil of 150 to 800 degrees firo test thero is danger of tho formation of what is called oil scale. This, according to chemical authority, is owing to tho fact that when the higher flro test oils are introduced they rlso and float upon tho top of tho water, and tho latter, imprcg-' uated with sediment and mud, boils and bubbles up through tho oil scum on top, and on the water becoming vapor ized it liberates tho particles of mud and scalo contained, which fall back upon this layer of oil upon tho top of tho water. After uwhilo the layer of oil becomes so impiegnated with mineral substances that it sinks to tho bottom of tho boiler, forming an incrustation, or oil scale, which is as Injurious to tho boiler as is the limo or magnesium Bcalo. But tho hiinio objection, it is re marked, has also lccu made to crudo potrolouui. Now York Sun. - . - A i .17 ..-.. fllkt.

Superstition of the Turks. Tho superstition of tho Turks is no where so apparent as in their fear of tho "evil eye. " Jugs placed around tho edge of tho roof or an old shoo filled with garlio and bluo beets (bluo glass bulls or rings) nro a sure guard against the illusion. Whenever a pretty child is playing upon tho street tho passorsby will say, "Oh, what nu ugly child 1" for fear of inciting tho evil spirit against its beauty.
