VENICE A DELUSIONH
An Englishman Sneers at Its Canals and
. Distances.
An Englishman who had seen Venice
but to be disillusioned, writesof his im-
pressions to the Westminster Budget as
follows:
, “Here is a description of what these
canals are, taken from my diary, and it
is literally truthful, which the poets
and the painters never are. On either
side staggers a crowd of decayed build-
ings; from the roof downward they are
a mass of squalid ruin; broken balcon-
ies cling to the stained and discolored
walls, great scabs of plaster have fallen
from their fronts as if a leprosy had
eaten them; for a foot above the water
the walls are black with slime, the.
broken windows are stuffed with rags
and paper, the shattered steps lead up
to doors that swing by one hinge; the
steps themselves ‘are slippery With a
greasy scum; to the edge of the lower
stairs there is a fringe of foul green
weed—it swings slowly in the crawling
water; the iron grilles, once so beauti-
ful, are eaten by bitter salt rust; the
shutters hang at all angles, flapping
and creaking in the wind ; in the crazy
balconies there is a lumber of broken
flower pots with dead-flowers in them;
and through all these reeking alleys the
greenish gray water slowly pulses and
oozes, covered with straw, egg shells
cabbage stalks and nameless refuse.
over all this brood a hundred filthy and
obscene smells, each canal contributing
a particularly putrid stench of its own.
N 0 longer does Venice sit in state; hour
by hour and stone by stone she is surely
sinking in her dishonored grave.
“Night in Venice -and music on the
‘ canal—that surely would have its old
charm. ‘I had pictured the soft air.
pulsing with sweet voices, and over all
a sky ‘thick inlaid with patiness of
bright gold.’ Well, every night about
'8 the singing certainly began, guitars
tinkled, and now and then one heard a
fairly good tenor .voice, but as a rule
the men’s voices were harsh and worn.
And the women’s indescribably shrill,
and the songs they sang were Verdi and
Bellini at their worst. ‘Ah che la
Morte’ and its companion absurdities;
And when once they began they kept
on; no sooner had One boat load of sing-
: ers exhausted their repertoire than an-
other took up its place and repeated the
. same songs with the same quaverings
and tinklings.”
MR. PLATT’S BREEZY LETTER.
He Says He Has Made an Ass of Himself
' and Asks Pity.
In a letter to the Michigan Club, a
Republican organization, on the oc-
casion of its celebration of Washington’s
birthday, ex- Senator Thomas C. Platt
wrote as follows in an answer to an invi-
tation to attend, addressed to the Presi-
dent Of the Michigan Club:
MY DEAR SIR; Again am I compli-
mented and honored by the invitation
of the Michigan Club to be present as a
guest at the eleventh annual banquet
on Friday night. - I have not married a
wife or bought a yoke of oxen, but I ,
have made an ass of myself by assum-
ing certain political burdens which I
must carry out at this time. I shall
grin and weep while you celebrate, for
I have a complete conception of the
magnificence of your banquets and the .
eloquence of your orators. Pity me
and pray for the man whom the angelic
press pictures as so satanic.

Slow But Healthy.
The Italian battleship Christoforc
Colombo has a curious arrangement for
furnishing her seamen with drinking
water. Experience proved that drink-
ing large quantities of cold water after
violent exercise, especially while cruis-
ing in the tropics, caused many deaths.
The water tanks on the battleship were
designed to prevent such indiscretion.
The water tanks on the vessel are
connected with innumerable little
rubber hoses, and on the end of each
hose is a rubber nipple. When any
seamen wants drinking water he must
turn a stop cock and then suck ’ it
through the hose and nipple. It is slow
work, but it has been found that it- pre~
serves many valuable lives—San Franv
cisco Post. . .
A Novel Protection for Ships.
An inventor proposes to utilize the
compass of a ship to warn the naviga-
tors of the approach of danger. He
has constructed a compass which is reg.
ulated by a chemical which will not be
affected by the magnetic force on board
the ship, but will be keenly sensitive, to
minute symptoms from any other mag-
netic influence exerted at ' a distance
from the vessel upto possibly two miles.
This compass when affected by the mag-
netism oscillates about an eighth of an
inch, so the inventor asserts. When it
is so affected the metal connections on
the rim of the dial plate will Close a
circuit, causing bells to ring in the en-
gine room as well as in the pilot house
and on the bridge—*N. Y. Tribune.
For Insulting the Emperor.
A little girl of Metz, 14 years old
named Louise Fuchs, has just been con
damned to eight days’ imprisonment for
having insulted the German Emperor
the insult comisted in writing a private
.etter to one of her little friends, in
which there was something disrespect-
ful to his'Majesty. Such sentences are
quite common in Alsace-Lorraine.
Mme. Bernhardt a-Wheel.
' Mme. Bernhardt demonstrated the
use of the bicycle last summer during
her stay at her quiet little home in Brit
tany by the sea. The hostess and he]
guests all were fisher costumes, and
took all their jaunts on their wheels
' while oncea week the entire party
went to Palais to buy provisions, which
they carried back with them.

He Explains the “Bill” In a. Letter to Ell
Perkins.
In a recent article on the late humor-
ist, “Eli Perkins” publishes the follow-
ing letter: '
Dear Sir: You ask me how I came to
adopt the nom de plume of Bill Nye,
and I cantruthfully reply that I did not
do so at all. .'
My first work was done on a territor-
ial paper in the Rocky Mountains some
twelve years ago, and was not signed.
The style, or rather the lack of it, pro-
voked some comment and two or three
personal encounters. Other papers be-
gan to wonder who was responsible, and
various names were assigned by them
as the proper one, among them Henry
Nye, James Nye, Robert Nye, etc., and
a general discussion arose, in whichl
did not take a hand. The result was a
compromise, by which I was christened
.Bill Nye, and. the name has clung to
me. . .
I am not especially proud of the name
for it conveys the idea to strangers that
I am a lawless, profane, and dangerous
man. People who judge me by the brief
and bloody name alone, instinctively
shudder and examine their firearms. It
suggests daring. debauchery, and de-
fiance to the law. Little children are
called in when I am known to be 'at
large, and a day of fasting is announced
by the Governor of the State. Strangers
seek to entertain me by showing me the
choice iniquities of their town. Eminent
criminals ask me to attend their execu-
tion and assist them in accepting their
respective dooms. Amateur criminals
ask me to revise their work and to sug-
gest improvements. '
All this is the cruel result of an acci-
dent, for I am not that kind of a. man.
Had my work been the same, done over
the signatiu‘e of “Taxpayer” or “Vox
Populi” how different might have been
the result! Seeking as I am, in my poor,
weak, way, to make folly appear fool-
ish, and to make men better by speak-
ing disrespectfully of their errors, I do
not deserve to be regarded, even by
strangers, as a tough or a terror, but
rather as a plain, law abiding American

A LONG" SLEDGE RIDE.
A Trip of Two Thousand Miles Over Snow
and Ice.
Captain Joseph Wiggins is returning
from Siberia. by the overland route. A
Sunderland engineer who accompanied
the last expedition to the Kara Sea and
has just returned home, relates an ex-
citing experience which befell some of
the crew who became separated from
the ship while on shore at Auchaka.
The ice unexpectedly broke up, and, as
it would have brought disaster on the
ship to have remained, the Lorna Doone
had to sail without them. ”
The Thirty left behind included two
cooks, belonging to Stockton and “New-
castle, a Sunderland engineer, and Mr.
Layburn Popham, brother of one of the
owners. The party were obliged to travel
homeward by sledges, the journey occu-
pying over four months and covering a
distance Of 2,000 miles over snow and
ice. At Archangel the party had their
Christmas dinner with-«the British Con-
sul, and they then resumed their sledge
drive to Moscow, where they took the
train to St. Petersburg. They came
from Reval to London by steamship,
and arrived in England none the worse
for their remarkable journey.—London

A {Four Course Dinner Furnished for a
Dime a Plate.
Mrs. I. F. Guiwits,- on Pennsylvania
avenue, gave a challenge poverty din
our last- week to eight guests.‘ She an-
nounced that she would serve a palata-
ble dinner of four courses, at 2 1-2- cents
a course. It was pronounced a success,
and, as it was a challenge, each one is
striving to do still better. The dinner
was decidedly informal, and Mrs. Gui-
wits had to answer all questions regard-
the cost and expense of each article on
the bill of fare. Menu cards in French
told the following story :, '
Vegetable Soup.
Mock Duck. Mashed Potatoes.
Macaroni and Cheese.
Cabbage Salad. Mayonnaise.
Banquet Wafers.
Bread and Butter. Salted Peanuts.
Indian Pudding. Tea.
Coffee was served in the parlor, but it
was not included in the bill of fare.—

The American Wife.
In talking with an American about
the different conditions of women in
Japan and the United States, a Japa-
nese diplomat once said: “When I
marry I take a head servant; when you
marry you become one.”
A man who recently visited Japan
quotes a remark in a somewhat similar
vein made by a Japanese .interpreter.
“I sat one day,” 'he'said, “at the door
of a dining- room in a. hotel in Tokio.
where all kinds of foreigners were stay
ing, and I watched them as they came
in. The Frenchman came in with ma-
dame cn his arm; the Englishman came
in so (imitating a pompous, self-impor-
tant personage). And his wife? Oh
she came after him like this (drama
tizing a meek and timid woman follow-
ing). And the» American husband?

ahead of him, and he just walks behind '
wherever she goes.”
