Fine Raiment for Clerks.

From the Lon don Daily Telegraph.l
 It is proposed to establish phiIanthropic society with the object of extending the phi losophy of clothes to 8 point far beyond the speculations of the learned author of ''Sar- tor Resartus." The late Thomas Carlyle, it will be remembered, contented himself with philosophizing on the worldly advantages which spring from the habitual use of costly and fashionable garments, but the projected society intends to go further and place those deserving poor. We gather that the society having observed with regret how large a number of struggling and needy male per- sons there are who find the purchase of fine clothes, even though little worn out, a heavy tax on their limited incomes, have de- termined, through the aid of their associa- ton, to supply them with the left.of wrap pages of the upper circles tat almost nomi- nal prices." Arguing that the aforesaid needy individuals probably would not stoop to receive charity" the society will proceed as follows: Having invited the ''richer classes' to contribute their t'little worn clothing. which would otherwise go to waste to be called the ssSale and Distribution of Clothing Association"-w sell it at cheap rates to the 'tclerkly class and others" As all goods are to be obtained for nothing, the proceeds of the sale thereof must necessarily be all profit, so that there is no fear of the society falling into dificuIties-as philan- thropic corporations sometimes do-and be- ing obliged to make g public appeal for funds wherewith to pay it's outstanding debts. It is pointed out that gentlemen with fashionable suits, wishing to share their wardrobes with those who have only unfash- ionable and threadbare garments, or no clothes at all might offer their proteges 8 greater choice than is possible in the case of 8 mere private sartorial collection. Armed with donors or subscribers order, the ''clerkly class and others" would be able ito purchase the clothing they require at the society's stores.'' This is no imaginary scheme, the outcome of Gilbertian humor, but genuine project vouched for by one bearing well known name, and assumed in all seriousness to be based on common sense combined with philanthropy. Certainly we Association'' the success which it deserves

 During the war I was in jured in the stomach by a piece of a shell, and have suffered from it ever since. About four years agoit brought on paraly- sis, which kept me in bed six months, and the best doctors in the city said I could not live. Isufered fearfully from indigestion, and for over two years could not eat solid food and for large portion of the time was unable to retain even liquid nourishment. I tried Browns Iron Bitters and now after taking two bottles I am able to get up and go around and am rapidly improving.

A Pittsburg man, who evidently knows something about coal and coal mining, de- clares that four million dollars worth of coal is wasted each year in the mining operations of that district. His explanation of his as- sertion is that beneath the vein of coal, in that vicinity, averaging four and half feet, is seam of what is called s'bottom coal, j" eighteen inches thick. This coal, which is somewhat softer than the regular vein, is never taken out of any part of the mine ex- -cept the entry. After room is worked this coal cannot be removed with safety. In mine where hundred men are at work, it is estimated that the waste is three hundred tons day. The pillars which support the roof, the smallest of which contains three tons of coal, and some of them twenty tons, are also abandoned. Congress or the Iegisla- tures this expert suggests, ought to compel operators to remove all the product of their mines, including what is known as slack" millions Of tons of which have accumulated on the hills about Pittsburg. The result would be benefit to owner, miner and con- sumner

Such perfect confidence is felt in the safe de. livery of insured letters that many persons have hitherto taken the infinitesimaI risk of sending large sum while paying insurance on only small one, thus cheating the gov- ernment to their own advantage. The of acials have seldom thought 1t worth while to verify the contents of insured letters, but their attention having been attracted by the smallness of the values regularly declared by certain firm of bankers in St. Petersburg, theF opened letter insured for 1, 600 roubles and found it to contain 12O, ,0OO roubles The law is that in case of false valuation the en- tire inclosure shall be forfeited, and in this instance their dishonest economy cost the bankers about $8O, GOO.

Is there probation after death is 8 ques- tion which is now receiving much attention. Joseph Cook prefaced his last lecture by a discussion of this question and the proposi- ions he laid down were: ss1. If it be prob able that death may end probation, the su- preme dictate of practical wisdom is to re- pent now. 2. Mere reason shows that death may end probation. g.. The Sculptures show that death does end probation He held that whatever fixes character ends pro- bation; that character tends to final per- manency, good or bad, and hence thsre could not be second probation. Reason does not decide when this final prominence is reached, but reason makes it appear possible, and in many cases, highly probable, that the final permanence of character is attained in the solemn spiritual experiences which accompa- ny death.

Tell me not that love will die,
Though the years pass fieeting;
Lasting as the earth or sky
Is the true hearts beating,
Storms and shadows may beset,
Or by cares surrounded;
Parted wide by space and yet
Full of faith unbouHded.
Love is true, cen though by Fate
Severed be the loving,
Patiently the heart will wait
Till the cloud removing,
Time again shall, face to face,
Bring true hearts united,
And once more fond arms embrace,
Souls in true love plighted.
Love neer dies-'tis as the sun,
That for boundless ages
Ceaselessly its course has run
Through earth's changing stages.
Firm, Interchangeable and true,
Lives Love ON forever;
And when Time itself be through,
Love shall waver never
