Strength and Diet.

The Roman soldiers, who built such
wonderful roads and carried weight
of armor and luggage that would crush
the average Farmland, lived on coarse
brown bread and sour wine. They
were temperate in diet, regular and
constant In exercise. The Spanish
peasant works every day and dances
half the night, yet eats only his black
bread, onion, and watermelon. The
Smyrna porter eats only little fruit
and some olives. He eats no beef,
pork, or mutton, yet he walks off with
his load of 500 pounds. The coolie,
fed on rice, is more active and can en-
dure more than the negro fed on fat
meat. The heavy work of the world is
not done by men who eat the greatest
quantity. The fastest or longest
winded horse is not the biggest eater.
Moderation in diet seems to be the re-
Quisite for endurance.

Wages i'm 1900.

The condition of the wage class of
that day may be we'll examined; it is
full of instruction for social agitators.
In the great cities unskilled workmen
were hired by the day, bought their
own food, and found their own lodg-
ings. But in the country, on the farms,
or wherever hand was employed on
some public work, they were fed and
lodged by the employer and given q
few dollars a month. On the Penn
sylvania canals the diggers ate the
coarsest diet, were housed in the rudest
sheds, and paid So month from May
to November, and So month from No
vember to May. Hod-carriers and
mortar mixers, diggers and choppers,
who from 1870 to $500 labored on the
public buildings and cut the streets
and avenues of Washington City, re-
ceived so year, or, if they wished,
$50 for all the work they could perform
from March l to December 20. The
hours of work were invariably from
sunrise to sunset. Wages at Albany
and New York were shillings, or, as
money then went, 40 cents; at Lam
caster, IS to SO month; elsewhere
in Pennsylvania workmen were content
with Sc in summer and So in winter.
At Baltimore men were glad to be
hired at Is pence a day. None, by the
month, asked more than Sc. At Fred
ericksburg the price of labor was from
50 to 81. In Virginia white men en-
ployed by the year were given e16
currency; slaves, when hired, were
clothed and the master paid 81 a
month. A pound Virginia money was,
in Federal money, 1888. The average
rate of wages the land over was, there
for, 500 year, with food and, perhaps,
lodging. Out of this small sum the
workman must, with his wife's help,
maintain his family McMdsters

The Massachusetts Small Boy.

A small boy in a bright Melrose
family wanted something of his mother
the other day when she was very busy
writing. She was absorbed in her
work, and did not look up at his re-
peated mamma, mamma" beside her
elbow. well" said he at last, fling
ing away from her side in pet, Its
no use to try to make my mamma hear
when she's writing: she's just ignomin-
ious of everythingp
1t was the same boy who was given
permission by the hostess at a grown
up party, where he was asked, because
the family were intimate, to eat a
whole mold of strawberry ice cream
that was left after all the guests had
been served. He sighed as soon as he
had said, "No, thank you," and pres
emily confded to small daughter of
the house "It's dreadful to grow up,
and know I'm doing it. Why, last
year could have eaten all that ice
cream as easily as could be, and now 1
can't eat bit more than two saucer
fuls. "-BOston Record.

notice, the dog still lives and INJURIES
sheep, his owner is liable for double
damages, and the court wherein the
action for damages is tried may order
the dog to be killed. In Vermont,
double damages may be recovered. In
Connecticut, when a person has suf-
fered damages by dogs worrying or
killing his sheep, he must give notice
to the selectmen of the town in which
the damage has been done, and the
selectmen may bring suit for him
against the owner of the offending dog;
and unless the owner is reimbursed by
this suit the town becomes liable to the
owner of the sheep for such damage.
When man keeps large and fierce
looking dog, which is in the habit of
running out to the highway and furious
ly barking or attacking persons passing
along, or horses passing in the neigh
borhood, the owner will be liable if the
dog bites person, although it is not
shown that the dog had previously bit
ten any person. A dog may be so fero-
cious as to become public nuisance,
and in such cases, if the owner per-
sistently permits it to run at large, any
person may kill it.-American Cult

Islam is one of the strangest facts in
the history of man-under some aspects
stranger even than Christianity itself.
Christendom only partially acknowl-
edges the influence of Christianity.
The civilization of Christendom is not
Christian but Roman In origin; it's sci
ence and literature are Greek, its social
systems mainly feudal and Teutonic.
But the religion and civilization of
Islam are one; the Koran is the stand
ard OF its literature, and the Moslem
desires no further explanation of the
mysteries of man and nature than what
is given in the book dictated by Gods
own angel and in the traditions of its
early commentators. No other faith
has ever succeeded in so perfectly inter-
weaving itself with the acts and needs
of common life as well as with the re-
quirements of the state, and il subsists
from age to age without priesthood
and without a church. The Moslem
holds immediate communion with Al
lab, and the imam, aided by no ritual,
simply leads the prayers of the assem-
bled faithful, and declares, theologian
wise, not the will or mercy of God, but
the meaning and application of His re-
vealed word. Islam is not an attract
i've faith; to the conquered it contempt
uously offers life and liberty upon pay
ment of tribute, enforcing mutual
tolerance among the varieties of unbe-
levers which they have always bitterly
resented. The very opposite of Bud
dhism, it originally made its way by
the sword, and by the sword achieved
permanent results. Yet it has shown
none of the exclusiveness of Judaism,
and has welcomed, though without
warmth, every race that has chosen to
embrace the faith. It's founder was the
faith incarnate, strong willed and Wis
ionary, self-controlled and voluptuous.
peopling the universe with spiritual
beings, yet enduing them with merely
earthly attributes and passions. Islam,
lastly, was no development of an older
faith, but totally new religion off the
continued worship of the Caaba be ex-
cepted), founded upon a stern mono
theism from which it has never devil
ated. From this monotheism all the
articles of the creed of Islam are de-
ducible; its theology is simply the
amplification of this creed, begun by
Mohammed himself, and carried to
extraordinary lengths by his disciples
and the doctors who succeeded them,
many of whom had Greek blood in
their veins. and were adopts in the
later Greek philosophy.-The Spec

How COrcOran Made His Money.

Talking of the manner in which
Judge Davis made his. fortune reminds
me of another very rich man, we'll
known in Washington. / refer TO the
venerable w. w. Corcoran. 1t was
under the Democratic administration
of James X. Polk that he first began
to acquire a national reputation as a
capitalist. Having made a good sum
of money by contracts for army shoes
during the Florida Indian wars, about
the year 1886, Mr.. Corcoran determin-
ed to take from the United States the
whole of the loan of so, 200, 900, of
which the Government was then in
need. 1t was a pretty daring thing to
do, but Mr.. Corcoran was equal to the
occasion. Looking around for part
ner, he found George W. Riggs, who
then owned small country bank some
where in Maryland. Mr.. Riggs was
bright, smart man, knowing a great
many moneyed people, and the two
took the entire loan and unloaded it
upon their friends-army and navy
people and those who had pensions
principally. Ten millions of dollars in
1914, or about two years before the war
with Mexico, would certainly be equiv
alent to four times that sum in these
days of immense fortunes, but the man
who sets himself to make fortune
does not always count the cost. OF
course the speculation turned out to be
a very good one for the two bankers.
Another very lucky hit was made by
Mr.. Corcoran soon afterward. He is
generally supposed to have had some
thing to do with the including of Texas
State debts in the treaty of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, made with Mexico after Tex
as entered the Union. The bonds of
that State were quoted before the con-
clusion of that treaty at very low
figure. Mr.. Corcoran is credited with
knowing that these bonds would be
paid by the United States. He there
fore bought largely of them, and when
they rose in value he, of course, found
himself on the right side of the MAJ ket.
At any rate, he made handsome sum
of money out of the transaction

Tastes In Reading.

OF late much discussion has taken
place with regard to the choice of
books. Carlyle and many other au-
thors more or less famous have given
to the world their opinions on the sub
ject, each author, of course, consulting
his own taste. The reluctance with
which the average man or woman takes
advice in any form is proverbial, and
we see no reason to doubt that any ex-
ception will be made in the present in
stance. Allowance must be made in
this case, as in many others, for differ
ence in taste. Because Brown, for in
stance, is fond of reading French
novels. it does not necessarily follow
that Jones is so easily suited. This is
self-evident, and yet many people seem
to lose sight of the fact. Byron pre-
ferred Pope's translation of the "Iliad"
to the original, and spoke very slight
ingly of Shakespeare and Wordsworth.
Charles Lamb considered Marlowe's
"Faustus" superior to Goethes immor-
tai Faust" and, not to multiply ex-
amples, Johnson could see so genius in
Fielding. "Sir," he said, there is more
knowledge of the heart in one letter of
Richardson's than in all Tom JONES'"
1t is certain, then, that one should not
be guided by individual opinions in
the choice of reading.-AU the Year

Kept on Her Arctics.

Brides do some curious things" said
the sexton of fashionable church the
other day, "and 1 could relate many
instances where nervousness has made
them the laughing stock of crowded
assemblages. For instance, at a we'd
ding here couple of weeks ago it was
raining hard when the bridal party ar
rived at the church. In the futter and
excitement the bride-elect forgot all
about having rubbers on over her white
kid slippers, and she shuffied all the way
up the aisle and all the way down again
with her overshoes, of the description
known as 'arctics, peeping in and out
from under her satin skirts. It was
ludicrous, can tell you. "-Philadel-
phid Bulletin.
