WE FL‘OCK TO EUROPE.
The Binney of American Travelers Ap-
predated,
The rush of American tourists to
Europe this year is the greatest of any
year in the history of steamship trove}.
It will be greater than the rush last
year, which, in turn, exceeded the
phenomenal year of 1892.
A_ correspondent of the New York
’ Herald says that although it is difficult
to obtain accurate figures comparing
the season to date with the similar
period of last, it is probable that the
increase for the entire season will not
be far from 25 per cent. over last year.
For the sake 6f conservatism, how-
ever, compute the increase at only 20
per cent. This is sufficiently large. It
means that not less than fifteen mil-
lions more of fertilizing American gold
will'be dumped on Europe’s thirsting
plain. Many estimates have been
named as the amount of money which
American tourists spend 'in Europe.
Some of them are very far from the
mark, some absurdly low, some Wildly
high.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1895, 53,604 persons of American resi-
dence arrived at the port of New .York
in first or second cabins. The Custom
House keeps;no record of the 'cabin
passengers of American residence on
the outgoing‘steamers, but the total
number of cabin passengers outgoing
for the year 1895 was 96,157.
Now, what on the average will web
of these 65,000 tourists for the year of
grace and bad collections, 1896, spend
from the time they book for the steam-
ship until they again set foot on the
uncouth shores of their native land?
Inquiries made at some of the larger
banking houses, which give letters. of
credit, and from the tourist agencies,
lead one to believe that this average is
not far from $1,250 per person. A
thousand dollars would be too low,
$2,000 much too high.
Well, 65,000 tourists spending an av-
erage of $1,250 each will get away with
rather more than $81,000,000. A rather
handy sum. But from this must be
taken the amount which is expended
in America, in the shape of steamship
supplies, coal, salaries, advertising,
expenses of tourist agencies and in
countless other ways. Probably this
sum is in excess of $10,000,000. This
will leave a net sum of more than $70,-
000,000 which goes into the pockets of
the steamship lines, the lnnkeepers,
railways and other classes of trades-
men of Europe, who grow rich on the
American tourist.
This is a good deal of money. You
get a better idea. of what it really
means when you get in perspective
with some other things. ,
For years the total gold product of
this country has been less than half of
$70,000,000, and last year was only
$10,000,000 more than half. At its
highest the silver product of the United
States was only $70,000,000, and is now
not half that. _
A year and a half of tourist expendi-
tures applied to the gold reserve would
wipe it out completely. And not to
weary you with compariisons,perhaps
you will remember that it was-over
what to do with a surplus of $70,000,-
000 in the national treasury that the
Blaine-Cleveland Presidential cam-
paign was fought.
This is a big country and a rich
country—bigness and richness only
considered, the greatest on earth. But
sometimes its business and trade get
into the doldrums, and then those who
are pinched do not think or feel quite
so vividly just how big and rich and
great we are.
You may not know it, but the dis-
heartening thing, the disquieting thing
of the study of psychology is the way
it lays bare the mechanical origin of
ideas. When you have a lot of money
in your pocket you think one way, and
when you have none at all quite a dif-
ferent way.
Experience of the Travelling Man.
It was a very small Western town.-
and the only train out of it that night
left at 2 o’clock. The travelling man
had impressed upon the night porter
of the hotel the importance of calling
him in time for this train. Promptly
at 1230.3 prodigious knock roused the
sleeper.
“Say! be yez the man what wants
the 2 o’clock thrain?”
“Yes,” was the sleepy reply from
within. .
“Well, yez can shlape an hour longer,
fer she’s so much late.”
The heavy feet shuffled off down the
hall, and silence ensued. Another
hour had passed, when Put again
knocked.
“Say! be yez the felly what said he
wanted to ketch the two o’cloc
thrain?” »
“Yes!” and there was the sound-of a
man hastily springing from his bed.
“Well,” drawled Put, “yez can go
back to bed again, for she’s another
hour late.”
A forcible remark or two proceeded
from the travelling man’s room, and
Were audible to his awakened neigh-
bors, as was the departure of Pat; but
soon all was quiet again, and the few
occupants of the hotel were left for
some time to undisturbed repose. Just
as the faint streaks of dawn were ting-
ing the sky Pat once more made his
presence known, and, in tones giving
unmistakable evidence of recent and
heavy slumber, remarked:
‘Say! if yez was the folly what
wanted to ketch the two o’clock thrtiin
yez canshlapc till morning, fer bedad!
the blame thing’s gone!”
“My dear, come in and go to bed,”
said the wife of a jolly son of Erin,
who had just returned from the fair
In a decidedly how-come-you-so state.
“You must be dreadful tired, sure,
with your long walk of six miles.”

breadth of it." A___ , . ,-

Tooka Tumble.
Mr. Patrick Slattery has been a long
resident of Norwalk. He was here
troduced, in fact had rode on them in
other cities. Nevertheless he attempted
to alight from a car on Main street, last
evening, while it was in motion as did
a conductor but a moment before. He
is‘convinced that practice is liable to
make perfect. He landed on his right
shoulder and shot ahead as if sent from
a catapult. Fortunately as the saying
goes, “he was not killed.” However,
he received a severe abrasion to his
right knee and his left wrist is bound
up with cloths saturated with healing
lotions.

The Ruling Passion.
A miser, some years ago, finding him-
self very unwell, at length grudgingly
sent for a doctor, whom he bade-unhesi-
tatingly to truly tell him what was his
actual condition.
“I will be perfectly frank with you,”
said the medical man ; “you cannot live
more than six weeks.” Directly the
miser heard this he sent- for one of the
governors of a. public 'bharity, and that
gentleman duly arrived, full 'of expec-
tation. “I have always admired your
’institution, ’ said the miser, and I in-
tend to bequeath £1,500 to it. My doc.
tor has just informed me that I shall
not live long, 935 sent for you 'to ac-
quaint you WI. my intention. But-4”
“In the name of the patrons of our in-
stitution,” said the delighted governor,
“I thank you.” “But in order to save
trouble and expense in the making of
my will,” continued the miser, “I have
thought that if you will allow me the
usual discount for prompt cash I will
give you the money immediately.”—
