HOW OLD IS LONDON TOWN?
Notwithstanding Antiquity of British
Metropolis Many Great Build
ings Are Modern.
It is surprising, when we think of
* the age of London, and think of the
tower which William the Conqueror
built; of tlie*ancient abbey ; of the Nor
man church; of St. Bartholomew’s, how
! many of London’s most prominent
buildings are less than a hundred years j
old, and how many of them are quite j
recent structures, observes a writer j
in London Tit-Bits.
Of all the buildings which flank ,
Whitehall only the Horse Guards, the !
Banquet hall and the Old Admiralty !
existed a hundred years ago. The gov- j
eminent offices are all new.
Within living memory the house of
parliament, the Thames embankment i
and all its flanking buildings, St.
Thomas’ hospital, the National gallery,
South Kensington museum, the Tate
gallery, the law courts, all the big ho
tels and even the present Mansion
house have been built, whilst nearly
all the banks and great piles of com
mercial offices in the city are new,
although the thoroughfares in which
they stand are very old.
A hundred years ago there was no
High Holborn, no Shaftesbury avenue,
no Charing Cross road, no Regent
street—or, at most, it was just in the
making—and no Trafalgar square.
Kingsway and Aldwych are streets of
yesterday.
Moreover,.such great centers of pop
ulation as Putney and Islington and
Hampstead and Edmonton were little
► outlying villages quite disconnected
> with London, whilst West Ham and
t Willesden had no existence except as
^ names, and places like Shepherd’s
Bush and .Wormwood Scrubs might
y have been in the backwoods of Aus
* tralia or Canada for all the impor
> lance they represented. A century
;• ago, too, the railroad stations which
> number about 2,000 had no existence
> whatever.
" HOW MANY ARE TRULY HAPPY
t _
* Eminent New York Physician Places
the Number at About One
in Hundred.
' The other night we chanced to ask
^ an eminent physician of New York
y city his opinion as to the number of
. people who were truly happy. His
rather dogmatic reply was:
^ “About one in a hundred.”
> And this was not the opinion of a
> pessimist, but of a most radical op
. timist.
We wonder if this opinion is shared
! by others. It does not mean, of
. course, that ninety-nine people out of
a hundred are deeply unhappy. That
would be absurd. But there is no
> doubt that a great many people are
> quite unhappy a good deal of the time,
t perhaps not half the time, but enough
^ rather to cloud their lives.
. We should like to know the opinion
? of physicians generally. More and
J mere people go to the doctors to tell
f them their troubles. The physician
^ of today takes the place of the con
^ fessional of yesterday.
Th?n, too. there is the new applica
> tion of psychology to the field of medi
r cine—the so-called psycho-analysis,
which is so rapidly taking its place as
v an important part, literally, of the
S' medical pharmacopoeia. This new sci
P ence has given a wonderful insight
^ into our sub-conscious selves and re
- veals how far that sub-conscious self
really dominates our lives and deter
mines the amount of happiness which
we really get out of this confused
welter of existence.
A Napoleon Holograph.
Few holograph letters in the hand of
the great Napoleon are outside the
j French national archives. In the fa
. mous Morrison collection, the second
■ portion of which is being offered at
' Sotheby’s, London, appeared that mis
sive which the first consul wrote to the
prince who afterwards became Louis
XVIII. In this he sternly advises him
to remain In sweet and tranquil exile,
for a return to France would mean a
trudge over 100,000 corpses (“il vous
faudrait marcher sur 100,000 cadav
res”). For this vehement warning Mr.
F. Sabin paid £435, and at a convenient
and authorized interval the letter will
go to Newf York. A descendant of Jo
seph Bonaparte, at present incognito
in London, inspected the letter and
was represented in the earlier stages
. of the bidding. Another letter by Na
poleon addressed to Josephine, saying
that the sun itself may grow cold be
fore he forgets her, reached £150.—

DELEGATES TALK
ABOUT TAXATION
Whether Present System of Taxation
Shall Be Retained Is Matter of
Discussion.
Special to the Independent.
Little Rock, July 12.—The subject
of taxation engrossed the attention
of the Constitutional Convention all
day Thursday. The whole issue is
being based upon the question of
whether the present system of “uni
form and ad valorem” assessment
shall be retained, or the committee’s
proposal for “classified and segre
gated” assessment be adopted.
'f’he speakers were pretty evenly
divided on the subject, and declared
that the theory of the other looked
well on paper but would not work
out well in practice.
For hour after hour the convention
listened to expositions of the theories
of taxation, criticisms of tax-dodgers,
citations of the experience in other
states, and definitions of tangible
and intangible property.
It was generally agreed that no
system that can be devised can be
perfect, and that the best that can be
done is to accept the one or the other
of the pending propcsals.
Delegate F. E. Brown, a former
member cf the Tax Commission, as
serted that the present system has
proven a monumental failure, and
that he is willing to try any change
that may promise an improvement.
It was argued by some that the
trouble is not so much with the pres
ent law as it is with the lax enforce
ment of it, and to this it was replied
that so long as the present theory
cf taxation prevails, the evils of un
fair and unequal taxationn can
never be corrected, and that it wall
continue to be the means of causing
most men who give in their assess
ments to perjure themselves.
' When the convention adjourned, the
question was still being argued, and
was continued today.

On Crying in the Theater.
So, avers Nora Bayes, in the Ameri
can Magazine, in her own words:
j “It is a commonplace of the theater
that the public want, above all things,
1 x ~ i-T)nf tLnt T c*
far from saying that they want to be
amused. Humor i3 by no means the
easiest way to reach the human heart.
There are those who will tell you
that the public would far rather laugh
than cry. And when they do you
can just tell them to tell it to
Sweeney. The American public would
rather cry than laugh any day. Where
in It is not a bit different from the
' public in Australia, India, Russia or
j France. The secret of this is very
| simple: If you can make anybody cry,
you make them forget themselves.
The minute you make them forget
themselves they are being entertained.
If you can set them to thinking about
your blues Instead of their own, they
are taken completely out of them
selves.”
