A COMPARISON OFZNGLI8H ABD AMEBI-, CAXSTTLES. - It is in their intimate tone, their con fidential attitude, that the English ad vertisements differ most widely from our own, says Agnes Repplier in the December "New Lippencott." The brief announcements, so familiar to us, of "well-furnished rooms,' "pleasant apartments at the sea side," "board for two single gentlemen in a private fam ily," hae a.cold, almost repellant as pect, whtn compared to the genial hos pitality with which strangers are in vited to enter "the fair, free homes of England." Miss Sophia Deale, of Dev onshire, for example, offers to receive a few "Sketching Boarders, or other Stu dents requiring peace and quiet. View of Pines and Harbour from windows." One eees the "sketching boarders" every Englishwoman sketches as a mat ter of course washing in the sky-line on their little pads, and grateful occa sionally for tbe'sheHer-of' Mrs. Deala-'s-windows in a land of perpetual ebor ers. Still more personal is the follow ing seductive advertisement which ap peared once only in a well-known magazine: "Home for Lady in charming old de tached Cottage near River Thames. Convenient to Station. Seventeen miles from London. Would suit literary Lady requiring quiet yet cheerful home. For companionship and tuition to young Wife of neglected, education, would ar range easy terms." There in the material for a novel in these suggestive lines. The lonely, ig norant young wife in her "detached" cottage; the husband, older, of course, with just enough of learning to feel his sense of superiority; the stranger intra duced to play complacently the part of guide, philosopher, and friend. What complications might not arise from such a situation; though in point of comfort and luxury it falls far short of a com panion advertisement in the same paper. "A gentleman residing alone in his distinctly superior Country House (one hoarfrom LondoD) Jaeixea .a permanent guest of congenial and refined tastes (Lady or Gentleman), who would have the run of J his delightful secluded gar dene, and of the entire premises equally with himself, and who would appreci ate the retirement of a quiet home.

If President Diaz wanted to be crowned King of Mexico it is unlikely that therojwould be serious opposition to the furtherance of such an ambition. Already hejis king de facto. "The Mak er of Modern Mexico," as he is called, is commonlylsuppo6ed to be nearly a full blooded Indian, but the records show that he ia in reality only fifteen thirty seconds, or a trifle less than halt Indian. President Hidalgo, known as the "George Washington of Mexico," was a full-blooded Indian, and President Juarez, the "Abraham Lincoln of Mex ico," had in him only a slight strain of white blood. Old Tecumeeh, a fall blooded Shawnee, was a brigadier gen eral in the British army. Stand Watie, the Cherokee, held a similar rank in the confederate army, and Ely S. Parker, a Seneca of nearly pure blood, was General Grant's secretary of war, also adjutant general, brigadier general, and commissioner of Indian affairs. New York Prees. .
