A FRENCH WOMAN owes HE'R’QUEER lMPRESSIONS. Chicago Horses \Vear Trousers and LI- dies ‘Chew Tobacco. Every Boy Lays the Foundation for the Presidency by Going Barefoot and Selling Papers. And now a French woman has been over to America and has: written a book about us! It is Mme. Louis Grandin, a Parisian journaliste of local fame in the gay French capital. She writes: Chicagoll My first view of State street stupefied me. It gave me an idea of the immense scale on which Chicago is built. It would be hard to get any exact. idea of the originality of hei'rlit of the build. ings. It. is the delirium of arciiictecture. No two structures resemble each other; it is a nameless mixture of all styles and all epochs. New York is a pigmy compared to Chi- cago. The Masonic Temple on State street is twenty stories high, and all the other buildings vary from seventeen to twenty stories high. By the advice of our friends I had engaged rooms in the house of an “hou- orable” American family, and I at once began to search for my new home. I inquired the way of apoliccman, a. kind of Hercules, whose comic uniform .l’a‘l AMER as would certainly be most successful in an, opera boufic. Although not having the distinction of our French policeman, this worthy Chi- cago officer was infinitely more polite than our own guardians of the peace. Drawing the city directory from his pocket, he at once told us that the house I was looking for was situated in the south of the city. ‘ It is an American habit to speak of the cardinal points when indicating any street or house. . I finally arrived. It was No. 3,700. The landlady came toward me very graciously. Her name was Miss Flack. She had the figure of a young girl, but, good heavens! what a. face! She looked fifty years old, with angular and ill natured features, lit up by two terrible coal black eyes. On her head was a mossy and whitish looking bang. In a. shrill and soured voice, perfectly in keeping with her physiognomy, Miss Flack began by assuring us that she had nobody in the house but persons of the highest respectability. The place had been recommended to me as a private family. but it was evi— dently only an ordinary boarding house. I asked Miss Flack if I could have some lunch, at which she looked sur- prised, saying that lunch hour was passed and that she expected her board- ers to conform to the custom of the house. Finally, however, she conde- scended to get to me something to eat. \Vheu I went to bed that night I put my boots outside the door, expecting to find them blacked the next morning. I found they hadn’t been touched. Think- ing they had been forgotten, I rang the bell. A servant came up and I pointed to the shoes. The girl picked them up and stood there, as if not knowing what to do. In pantomime I showed her. She mockingly opened her eyes as if scandalized, let the shoes drop and went down stairs furious. A few minutes later Miss Flack iu~ formed me that in America servants don’t blacken shoes. She said she was sorry for the inci- dent—mot on my account, but on her girl’s, who was very much vexed, and who would probably leave her. I really thought she was going to ask me to apologize. For a longtime I had noticed in every drawing room the presence of a little porcelain vase. more or less decorated, the use of which I couldn’t guess. I had certainly remarked with disgust on the street and on the tramways the men chewing that something which is so dear to our sailors and their continually spit- ting. ButI supposed they belonged to the lower classes of society, and I regretted that people of bad breeding were so numerous. One day, however, I saw in a. drawing room a gentleman of irreproachable respectability put into his mouth a plug of tobacco. The tobacco chewing vice is general and has invaded all classes. Even the women chew all day a kind or gum with an insupportable odor. Some American ladies are not even content with gum; they chew tobacco. Still this is not as funny as the Chicago horses, who wear immense straw hats. Inside these hats, as in the men’s silk hats, are placed wet sponges, which keep off the sunstroke. The gentlemen often replace the sponge in their hats by a cabbage leaf. All the Chicago horses wear these straw hats, but some of the horses wear more than that even. I saw several horses on State street wearing trousers made of blue jeans. The neck and back were covered with oil cloth, and the poor beast’s head was adorned with an immense Panama hat. It looked so funny thatI became almost hysterical with laughter, to the great surprise of my friends, who saw nothing unusual in it. Americans never forbid their children to do anything. They don’t think they have the right. In many ways, I think, children are brought up better in Amer- ica than they are in France. They are taught very early to rely upon them- selves, and it is no unusual sight to see young children ofvery tender age alone in the street without being watched. The street seems to be their great play- ground, in which they all play, without distinction of class. And this mixing with other children, far from injuring them seems to do them good. Every American boy has two great ambitions, the hope of becoming one day president of the Republic and ofamassing a. great fortune. When an American boy is supposed by his parents to have attained the age of reason he receives a monthly allowance. This is supposed to teach him how to ad- ministrate his estate when he comes'bf age, and also to teach him to be econom- ical. One very frequently meets in the streets of New York and Chicago young men of good familv Walking with bare feet and earring their shoes in their hands in order not to wear out their shoes. I have also seen boys of rich families sell- ing newspapers in the streets. [ The American army is not a. large one,’ but its officers wear brilliant uniforms. One day at the exposition I passed a group of four generals in full dress uni- form. They looked very .fine, with their feathers, cocked hats and, breasts covered with decorations. They Were talking with great animation, and I stopped a moment to look at them, my attention Buy the Guam-r1? insured his life, and the money Ishall Ew... E.. E A z E E E E . . handsome man with a. distinguished face. Suddenly the object. of my. admiration turned around, just facing me, and, put- ting his two fingers to his nose, and with agesture I shall never forget, he removed by rapid ejaculation the surplus of mucus that was probably troubling him. I was rooted to the spot and almost stifledmvith indignation. Such a beautiful general! I don’t think much of the American firemen. They chiefly run to girth, so it is hardly surprising that they can’t run up a ladder to save life with the same agility and courage as our French fire- men. In fact, they rarely go on the roof of a. burning building, but confine them- selves to working the pumps and blowing up the surrounding houses by dynamite. The frequency of fires in America. is probably owing to the curious law that when a man’s place of business is burned down all the debts he owes are can- celled. As I remarked before, laundry work in Chicago is frightfully dear, and this is the reason why Chicago women—and, for that matter, most American women— wear no chemise. They wear a. kind of woollen or cotton “tights,” which takes its place. This fits close to the body, and is probably the secret of the fine figures which American women usually seem to have. As an instance of the practical view that American, and especially Chicago, women take of life, I asked a Mrs. B— whom I met why she allowed her hus- band to go out without even an overcoat, the weather being very cold. “Oh! that’s all right,” she replied, “for be insured his life last week.” I Was very much shocked by this reply, and, seeing my surprise depicted on my face, Mrs. B——- added: “ch, Fred has get at his death would permit me to live very comfortably until I marry again. And of course next time I shall marry much better.” So it goes! BUILDER OF WAR SHIPS. The Chicago, Charleston, Cincinnati and Other Ships that Tell of Him. Naval Constructor Frank L. Fernald, Chief of the Construction Department of the Brooklyn Navy Yard in which depart— ment there are between eleven hundred and twelve hundred men constantly em- ployed, is admirably equipped in all respects for the responsible and practical duties of that position. He possesses a thorough knowledge of the methods of shipbuilding of both the old and the new navy. As a constructor he has passed successfully through the evolutionary period of men-of—war construction, and he is also familiar with the work _of the ship yards of Europe. Constructor Fernald, wnose name is connected with the construction of so many of Uncle Sam’s finest ships, is an exceedingly modest man, withal. His relations with master workmen and many of the journeyman employes are unusu- FRANK L. FERNA Ll). ally cordial, and he misses no opportun- ity to advance the interests of steady and capable men. He prepared the prelimin- ary plans for the steel cruiser Chicago and the Dolphin, and as a member of this Board he also engaged in the supervision of these ships, as well as of the cruisers Boston and Atlanta while they were under construction. The Union Iron \Vorks, at San Francis- co, was the scene of Constructor Fernald’s labor in 1887, where he was ordered to~ supervise the construction of the cruiser Charleston, which was then about to be built. While on the Pacific coast he had charge of building also the cruiser San Francisco, and of the beginning of the Olympia and the Monterey. In May, 1891, Mr. Fernald took charge of the construction department at the New York Navy Yard. Within the period embraced in his present assignment more ships have received extensive repairs at this yard, and more men have been kept constantly at work here, than at any period in the history of the station since the war. Under his care the new and handsome cruiser Cincinnati has been almost wholly built, and it is claimed that as far as workmanship, general de- sign of fitting and finish are concerned this ship has no superiors and few equals. The battle ship Maine has been brought almost to completion under his charge. Mr. Fernald was a member of the Stability Board, which was con Iened to remedy faults of design, and it was at his suggestion that the new gunboats, the Machine and the Castine, were ordered to be cut in two and lengthened. This novel and difficult work was done under his charge in a remarkably short time. The Machias is now on her way to China and the Castine is ready for sea. Put. Salt on Coal. At this time of the year, when the coal begins to develop such extraordinary possibilities in the way of rapid consump- tion, housekeepers are eagerly on the lookout for something that will, at least, prevent waste, if it cannot by any other means make a ton go further. There are several preparations for this purpose sold under fanciful names, but the basis of most of. them is ordinary salt. If the latter is sprinkled liberally over the coal, either in the bin or as it. is put into the furnace, it .vill make it burn more evenly to a clean ash, and will also prevent clinkers. Of course, there is some chem- ical explanation for this, but the ordi« nary housewife does not care much about the reasons. She is satisfied that it is so. An Editor’s Philosophy.

Thousands of them.‘ They swarm along the Canadian border from ocean to ocean. It may be the track of a solitary sledge on the St. Lawrence, or afishing 'schuOOer beating into a quiet bay where there are no fish; or, if you like, a. well dressed \vnmun hiding-a. for- tune in gems in the rug with which she protects a silk pug lroin the cold as the train nears the frontier—the methods chan e from time to time, for in novelty oftti es there is safety. Hit the smug- glers, like the p'mr. are with us always. The fact now is. just what it has been ever since there has been population enough on both sides of the border to make the evasion of the tariff a. paying business for adventurous spirits—Uncle Sam cannot police his long line of border fence, norimleed do any more than make a. poor bluff at it, and trust to the moral sense of the people for the rest. And- when the fence isn’t. watched the al- mighty dollar crowds the moral sense ofthe people to the wall, and there’s an end to it. Give the ‘frontiersman a. chance to smuggle and he will arrange the matter with his conscience. And how do smugglers smuggle? \Vell I put that question a day or two ago to A. L. _,Drummoud, who used to be the head of the United States Secret Service in New York, and who did sterling work against the opium carriers years ago. “Just take for exampic,” Detective Drummond said, “the tricks; devised by the men who smugglc'cpium over the border from Canada. The duty has been changed now, I suppose, but in my day a. smuggler could save $10 a pound on the drug. W'ell, what do they do? You know what an or«.inary carpenter’s tool box looks like. They will take such a box and fix it with little panels of draw- ers, which only a minute inspection will disclose, or place a false bottom in it, or a false top, leaving room to slip in the thin, oblong cakes, and then coolly walk over the bridge or border, after the manner of an honest workman.” But methods, like smugglers, are in- numerable, and vary with the goods to be carried and the station and dress of the person wno carries them.

The clerks in the office were always on the alert to play some joke on Sniflies, the junior bookkeeper, and the strangest part of it was that they always managed to catch him unawares. The other day the clerks loaded a tempting looking cigar with an appar- ently harmless explosive. It was gra- ciously offered to Snifiles, who accepted it with profuse thanks, saying he would smoke it after dinner that. evening. It so happeugd that this very evening Snifflcs’ wife, who was a. very religious woman, had invited the minister to din- ner. The minister loved good cigars, and Sniffies, knowing this, proudly asked him to have a. cigar and unselfishly and innocently handed him the one which he had received that afternoon from the clerks in the office. ' Sniflles’ wife was pleased at her hus- band’s generosity tothe minister and looked on with pleasure as the minister contentedly lighted the cigar. Suddenly there was a report, the min- ister fairly howled with terror, and the air was filled with smoke. Suifl'ies and his wife were surprised and shocked beyond expression. “Heavens!” muttered Sniffles, “that’s the work of those d—-—n clerks again.” The minister’s face was red with rage. Half of his beautiful side whiskers had been singed and he looked a. sight. 'He- gave one terrible glance at Suiffles, then took his hat and departed. “Never shall I enter this house again,” he said with great emotion as he shut the door. - ‘ That night there was war in Sniflies’ house. His wife accused him of having' loaded the cigar on purpose in order to drive the minister away. » All his expla- nations were in vain, and now Suifiles and his wife have ceased to speak. .. .. .
