NEW YORK AND ITS PEOPLE

The. New York girl," according to Mr. Alexander Sn?s, tho Australian artist, who has just returned from, America, 'is the smartest-dressed girl in all the world. This applies to all girls, from those who work in factories to those in the highest society. > "Thero is no homo life in New York. Peoplo sleep in apartments and eat in restaurants. "Thciro is never a drftnfcen man in tho streets. In tho course of a year Mr/ Sa?a saw one. "Now York is 'a smokeless, dustless city. Traffic goes on day and night, in <he subway, on tho elevated, and the elreet cars. "Public honesty is most pronounced. At the newspaper stalls peopb drop their coins, take up their change, and walk away with tho paper. Those stalls may bo unattended for hours, but nover a coin is missing. If a parcel or mail matter is too largo to go into tho box it is left at tho foot of the box until the postman eomos round. No ono ever touches anything. "In the Exchange Buffet, whero 20,000 to 100,000 people <line <laily, no bill is ever handed lo the'diner, who merely tells the cashier how much ho has eaten 'and pays tho money. No questions are asked. No ono evor refuses to pay the due amount." Nuts form tho principal diet of the Somali soldier. Great Britain has 7700 miles of coast line to defend.
