How Some People Earn a Living by Their Ears and Noses. Most people depend upon their hands for their livelihood, arid so we have come to speak of handiwork and handicraft and "handy." But there tle of Champagne. Outlived Its Day. Unlike the imperial trains, the; French President's train is not armor- ed, and it has no protection whatever against bullets and shells: It was built at a time when no one thought that necessary. The four cars are elabor- ately upholstered in red and yellow silk velvets, and are of wood. They are not of the typical French con- struction, but look more like Ameri- can parlor cars, except that the roofs are not fully rounded at the ends. The interiors resemble somewhat the tour- ist cars used on the Western. railways of this continent, and are not divided into compartments like most English and 9Qontinental cars. Although they are thoroughly com- fortable, it is apparent from their fading curtains and upholstering, and their clumsy and ponderous arrange- ments, that they have outlived their time. They remind you of the old pal- ace at Oiron, the magnificence of which is falling into decay, because no one can afford to live In the place. O The Little Rain.

Each Nationality Has Its Typical Method of Handling Coin. You can generally tell a man's na- tionality from the manner in which he carries his pocket -money, for the various methods employed frequent- ly betray the name of the country of which they are typical. The majority of British people carry their money -be it gold, silver, or cbppers-all mixed up In the right- hand trousers pocket. Upon needing any, your typical Briton takes a hand- ful of tine mixture, and selects the coins he desires in an open and uncon- cealed manner. Uncle Sam, across the Boundary, has a "wad of bills," which he secure- ly keeps in a long, narrow pocket- book. Frenchmen, more often than not, are satisfied with an ordinary leath- er purse, Not so with his hereditary foe, for a purse, gaily embroidered in silks by the fair hand of some Gretchen, is the money -receptacle of the conceited Hunt The poorer classes of the Italians tie up their small fortunes. in a gaud- ily -colored handkerchief, which they mysteriously conceal somewhere about their persons.

John Chinaman often has peculiar ideas about the wearing apparel that he buys in America. dor one thing, he always wants boots that are sev- eral sizes too large, for he believes that hi that way he gets more value for his money, In addition to exces- sive size, boots have to possess other peculiar characteristics before they meet his full approval, as the follow- ing story indicates: A California merchant offered a pair of fine boots that he had long kept in stock to a Chinese for three dollars. The Oriental finally took them, but twel days later he brought there back. "What's the trouble, John?" inquir- ed the merchant. "Ilam good 'boots.'] "Him no good," declared John.
