FINDS LITTLE OF REAL INTEREST IN ST. LOUIS

London Critic and Author Pays His Respects to ’. American City. LONDON, (Special)— “No AngloSaxon city is seen to advantage on Sunday," writes William Archer, the dramatic critic, traveller and allaround author, in the London Morning Leader. “In St. Louis it was my fate to spend a Sunday, and regretfully but firmly, I pronounce it the least attractive of all the great cities in the United States. Its situation is undistinguished, its planning is ruthlessly triangular, its public buildings are mean. Even the Mississippi somehow contrives to be unimpressive. It is a wide river, no doubt, but you have to reason with yourself before you dan admit that it is widerthan. the Thamea at Chariug Cross. “Looking back from the Eads bridge at the baAtoss center of the city you see that It contains a .fair number of tall buildings—perhaps from 15 to 20 stories high. But they have neither the soaring audacity of the New York skyscrapers nor the fortress-like grandeur of those of Chicago. They” are featureless blocks •—nothing more. Over them there rests in the soft, muggy air, a pall of smoke that reminds one of Pittsburg, but of the lurid picturesquenesg, the infernal majesty of Pittsburg there is no trace. - , “From a sociotojlcal point of view, however, St. Louis is far from uninteresting. It may be called The PhIP adelphia of the middle west, a gigantic symbol and symptom of middle class prosperity. Of intellectual or artistic ambitions it shows scarcely a trace, but its drygoods stores will compare with any in the world. Evidently the Selfridges of St. Louis cater to an enormous class of people who have plenty of money to spfend. The local millionaires, no doubt, do their shopping in New York. It is middle class prosperity that shouts at us on every hand —an unldea’d smugness of comfort that seems somehow to blend oppressively with the mugginess of the air.”

Up to Date

“Is this the newspaper office?” Inquired Mr. Titmouse. ‘lt is,” responded the man at . the <icsk. “Didn’t this paper say I was a liar?” “It did not.’’ "Didn’t it say I was a scoundrel?” “It did not.” “Well, some paper said it.” - “Possibly it was our contempory' down the street,” suggested the editor, as he picked up a paper weight. “This paper never prints stale news.”

FLOWERS OF THE MONTHS.

Each month h*C‘a flower and a gem appropriate to the use of the person born in that month; and as far as possible the flower and color of the jewel for that particular month should be used in the decorations. The list is as follows: January, snowdrop, garnet; February, primrose, amethyst; March, violet, bloodstone; April, daisy, diamond; May, hawthorn, emerald; June, wild rose, agate; July, Jlly, ruby; August, poppy, sardonyx; September, convolvulus, sapphire; October, hops, opal; November, chrysanthemum, topaz; December holly, turqpoise. April’s flower, the daisy, stands for Innocence and Hope.

TO PURIFY WATER.

To purify water sprinkle a tablespoonful of pulverized alum into s hogshead of water (the water to be stirred at the same time). It wll! after a few hours, by precipitating to the bottom the impure particles, sc purify the water that it will be found to possess nearly all the freshness and clearness of spring water. A pallful containing four gal tons may be purified by a teaspoonful of alum.

TIME TO HESITATE.

Tourist —“IS this guide a thoroughly skillful climber?’’ Hotel Keeper—r“ Well, he has lost two parties of tourists off the mountainside, and each time has come off without a scratch.” -

Pray for Another.

A COMMON FAILING.

“If that were a child of mine, I gnevq," ; Good Mrs. Smithers wbuld say, “I’d put the poor thing in a decent dress; I’d teach it manners and usefulness; I’d talk to it more and spank it less; I’d raise it in a different way.” (She always adopts quite a critical tone, But hasn’t a chick or a child of her own.) “If I was runnin’ this government," Old Henry Williams would say, “I’d show ’em ’at I was president; I’d bust them trusts to a large extent; I’d show some good of the money spent; I’d run it in a different way.” (And Henry might spare’ the time, no doubt, w ’ For lately the sheriff sold Henry but) If we were in some one else’s place (You know that is what we all say) We’d do all their duties with ease and grace; We’d set ’em an unexampled, pace (It’s almost a pity it’s not the case); We’d fill it a different way. (In spite of this fact, people Often will tell Us we don’t run our own affairs any ——too well.)

Too Much.

“How did you rest last night?” As she spoke the hostess glanced with a non-expectant look at her guest and a show of assumed interest. The guest smiled grimly. “I never slept worse in my life,” he replied. “The bed was poor, the sheets were sticky, the room was poorly ventilated, and between the servants moving around overhead and the dog barking underneath my window, I scarcely closed my eyes.” The hostess in a rage left the room and presently returned with her husband. “Put that man out of the house at once!” she gasped. “What!” exclaimed her astonished husband. “Has he insulted you?” “He has indeed,” replied, his indig nant wife. “Here I have been keeping house for years and he is the on|y one who has. dared to tell me the truth.” —Colliers Weekly.

A HARD ONE.

Cholly Softpate—Language, don’t you know, was given us to conceal our thoughts. Miss Cutting Hints —You needn’t talk.

In the Wrong Department.

A prominent physician tells this story at the expense of the modern craze for speciahsm in the medical profession: A poor woman from the East Side of New York went to a nearby dispensary to ask aid for her little son, who had one of his fingers smashed with a baseball bat. At the first room where she applied she was told by a curt attendant that the -boy could not be treated there. ■ “Wrong place,” he explained; “this is'the eye and ear department.” “Vere is der thumb und finger deinquired the'woman, simj>ly.—Harper’s Weekly.

The Little Woman’s Retort.

’’i'he mild business man Was calmly reading his paper in the crowded trolley car. In front of him stood a little woman hanging by a strap. Her arm was being slowly torn out of her body, her eyes were flashing at him, but she constrained herself to silence. Finally, after he had endured it for twenty minutes, he touched her arm and said: “Madame, you are standing on my foot.” - ’ “Oh, am I,” she savagely retorted. “I thought it was a valise.” —Kansas City Independent.

Not Equal to the Occasion.

“We’re awfully glad you can. be here to dinner with us. Uncle Thomas. What’s the matter?” *‘l guess I better wait for the second table, Mary. You see, I never et with two knives and forks and three or four spoons to wunst- before, and I’m affaid 11. might spill, things."— Chicago Record Herald.

A Sure Sign.

“You saj* he has a visionary and impractical nature?” “Yes,” answered the girl who is employed in the post office ; “He is one of these people who write ‘Rush’ on an envelope instead of putting on a special delivery stamp.”^—Washington Star.. 2 '2l
