sociation was made by E. A. Sargent,
President Of the temporary organiza-
tion, and the other members of the
committee. The report called forth a
running debate on the subject which
became sufficiently warm to be inter-
esting. The almost unanimous verdict
was in favor Of pushing the enterprise
forward to a successful termination,
and when an opportunity was given to
subscribe for stock gratifying rush
was made for the Secretary's desk.
The following, among others, put down
their names for stock. H. F. Arm

chosen such lecturer.

State Master to appoint the Coun-

4 PERSETERING AUTHOR.

Chambers Journal says: "Some
forty years ago, it is said, lady called
upon Mr.. Longman, head of the publish
ing firm in Paternoster Row, and pleaded
Give me the subject of a book for
which the world has a need, and will
write it for you.'
"Mr. Longman asked are you an
author?'
"'I am poet, was the reply; but
the world does not want poems,
"The publisher remarked, little
obviously We'll, we want good cook

Them said the lady, you advise
me to write cookery book
Cautiously the publisher rejoined
1 should advise You to do SO, if 1 were
confident of your ability to write a good
one
"Well, years went by, and, during
those years, cooks and epicures and
housewives in all parts of England were
besieged for recipes to be forwarded to
the address of certain lady. The lady's

Cookery in all its Branches, published
in 1916, which continues to hold its place
in the esteem of housewives. Its author
was Miss Acton, who derived from her
one great work an adequate provision for
the remainder of her life.''

TEA DRUNK1RDS.

DIR. Aridge, one of the Pottery In
spectors of Staffordshire, has put forth
very sensible protest against very
pernicious custom, which rarely receives
sufficient attention, either from the med
ical profession or the general public.
He says that the women of the working
classes make tea principal article of
diet instead of an occasional beverage.
They drink it several times a dav, and
the result is lamentable amount of
sickness.
Tea, in anything beyond moderate
quantities, is as distinctly a narcotic
poison as Is Opium or alcohol. 1t is
capable of running the digestion, of en-
feebling and disordering the hearts ac-
ton, and of generally SCATTERING the
nerves. And it must be remembered
that not merely is it a question of mar
cotic excess, but the enormous amount
of hot water which tea-bibbers necessa-
rily drink is exceedingly prejudicial,
both to digestion and nutrition. In
short, without pretending to place this
evil on par as to general effect with
those caused by alcoholic drinks, one
may well insist that our teetotal reform
ers have overlooked, and even to small
extent encouraged, form of animal in
diligence which is as distinctly sensual,
extrayagant and pernicious as any beer
drinking or gin-swilling in the world.

MRS. PARTINGTON.

Mrs. Darlington is considered myth
ical person evolved from the brain of Mr..
Shillaber, but her counuerparts are often
found in real life. One of these ladies
was overheard at an evening assembly
speaking in high praise of pretty girl
just passing.
"Why, she is a perfect paragram of a
young LADY,"
81 think you mean parallelogram; do
You not?" suggested the waggish gentle
man addressed.
81 said parallelogram, Mr.. -" ex-
claimed the lady, with a combination of
dignity and Indignation impossible to de-
scribe.
"Do you intend to masticate your
houseg" inquired a Western lady of a
friend of mine who was building. He
was a critical, cultured New Highlander,
as exact as witty. What q droll look
came over his face as he answered.:
"My wife says eat like an anaconda,
and 1 am blessed with the digestion of
an ostrich; but, really, madam, don't
think 1 could manage my three-story
brick"
This makes me think of Leigh Hunts
reply mot at all malapropy) to lady
who said to him at dinner:
"Mr. Hunt, won't you venture on an
orange.
81 would most gladly, dear madam,
only I'm afraid l should tumble off"
But to keep to our theme. A lady Wis
iting Washington for the first time sent
word to friends at home that she was
dreadfully disappointed; she meant to
have got an Indian Bureau for Jennie's
room, but there weren't any to be had;
and that she was SO busy shampooing a
young lady from one place to another
that she had no time to write letters.
A rather old girl (who had been lured
to California bv the cheering information
that she was sure to marry there) laid
siege to wealthy widower, who at first
showed signs of succumbing, but finally
resisted the attack. As usual with
women who are intensely disappointed,
she "didn't care; no, not one bit" And
she exclaimed, half sobbing, to bosom
friend:
"Why, / wouldn't be hired to marry
him, hateful old thing, wouldn't take
him, not if he was a perfect Venus!"
As money was his chief charm, we sup
pose she meant Cresus-- f0r.

Il NOBLE DOG.

A vessel was driven ON the beach at
Lydd, in England. The surf was rolling
frlriously. Eight poor fellows were cry
ing for help, but no boat could be got
off to their assistance. At length a
gentleman came on the beach, accom-
panied by his Newfoundland dog. He
directed the sttentioa of the animal to
the vessel, and put a short stick into
his mouth. The intelligent and courage
Gus fellow at once understood his mean
ing, and sprang into the sea and fought
his way through the waves.
He could not, however, get close
enough to the vessel to deliver that
with which he was charged, but the
crew joyfully made fast rope to an
other piece of wood, and threw it tow
ard him. He saw the whole business
in an instant he dragged it through
the surge, and delivered it to his master.
A line of communication was thus
formed, and every man on board was
rescued from watery grave.
There is no breed to which the New
foundland shall yield in intelligence
and noble spirit, except him of Mount
st. Bernard, and perhaps the Scotch col
ley or sheep-dog.

one else. Some other man has all the
truth of her soul-but she cannot forget
the one who turned from her and went
his way and came no more. She is glad
when she hears of mis- success, grieved
when she knows that he has suffered /;
and when some day she hears that he is
married-she who has herself been mar
RED long years, perhaps; she who, at all
events, would never have married him
is she glad then? 1 do not know. A
woman's heart is very strange thing. 1
do not believe she knows herself. Gladl
Oh, yes and is his wife pretty and nicer
And then she says to herself that 'he has
quite forgotten, and that, of course, is
best, and cries a little"

DEBTS OF THE WORLD

We endeavored nearly two years ago.
to give in these columns an approximate
estimate of the national debts OF. the
world. We concluded on that occasion
that the Indebtedness of the world might
be placed at about "a, 200. 0O0, Q00, Dur
ing the two years that have since passed,
there is good reason to believe Tint
large addition has been made to the sum.
New countries and old countries yiewith
each other in the money markets, Of, ,Eu-
rope; and even China has within the last
lew weeks commenced national debt.
There is considerable difficulty is ascer-
tanning the liabilities of the varios.s. IA
tons which are thus heavily indebted.
The annual almanacs give us some assist
ance in the subject and the carefulin-
formation which the Economist publishes
~ the " Investors Manual affords also
considerable help in solving the question.
The following are the best estimates. we
can form of the principal national debts

The twenty largest national debts in
the world amount, therefore, in the ag-
gregate, to so, 950,000,O00. If we add
$500. 900, 600 for the small debt. the ma
tional indebtedness of the world figures
up to 500, $50, 100000.
The debts of twenty countries ell
braced in the above table impose an an-
nual interest charge of 1912, 80, 900 up
on their inhabitants, to which about $57,-
250,000 must be added for the uaenu1ner-
ated debts, making total annual charge
of $1,000, 100000 on the taxpayers of
the world, or of twice the sum which
France, the country with the largest rev.,
enue in the world, is annually raising.
The rate Of interest which these coun-
tries are severally paying on the nomina
amount of their debt should not be con-
founded with the rate at which they carr
borrow money at present. Some of these
are stated as follows, the rates being
based upon the latest quotations on the
London Stock Exchange: England, 81

light rate for the United States is caused
by adding greenbacks, which bear no in

FINGER NAILS.

A writer says /" If finger-tips have a
language of their own, so have the nails;
and the manner OF keeping them is as
eloquent as all the rest. Some keep
them long and pointed, like reminis-
cences of claws; others bite theirs clo-e
TO the quick; some pare and trim and
scrape and polish up to the highest point
OF artificial beauty; and others, carrying
the doctrine of nature to the outside
limit, let them grow wild, with jagged
edges, broken tracts, and tagnails, or
black friend as the agonizing conse-
quences. Sometimes you see the most
beautiful nails, pink, transparent, filbert-
shaped, with the delicate filmy little
.half-moon indicated at the base-all
the conditions OF beauty carried to per-
lection, but all rendered of no avail by
dirt and slovenliness; while others, thick,
white-riboed, square, with no half-moon,
spotted like so many circus-horses with
gifts and friends and the ike-that
is, without beauty and with positive
blemishes-are yet pleasant to look at
for the care bestowed on them, their
dainty perfection of cleanliness being
charm in itself. Nothing, indeed, is
more disgusting than dirty hands and
neglected nails, as nothing gives one
such a sense of freshness and care as the
same members well kept. But one of
the ugiest things in nails is when they
are bitten; which, to Judge by what one
sees, is a habit having irresistible fasci-
nations for those given over to it. 1t is
an action, by the way, that has more
than one significance. 1t may mean
consideration, doubt, hesitancy; or it
may mean anger or annoyance; or as
habit it may point to the not remote pos
sibility of madness. In any case it is
ugly to look at, and worse than ugly in
its results; bare finger-tips, with the pro-
tecting cover nawed to the bleeding
flesh, belonging to the list of things
mutilated and wilfully spoiled therefore
taken out of the category of things ugly
by nature, hence misfOrtunes for which
the sufferer is in no wise accountable"
