MIDST THE MADDING THRONG

''St. Paul comes as near being the next
world as at any place 1 ever saw" remarked
a guest at one Of the hotels.
II don't understand you,' exclaimed q
fellow guest. "What do you mean?'

about the streets in St. Paul who have been
given up for dead than any other place on the
American continent. just saw q man, ap-
parently in the best of health, down on Jack
son street, who left my old home, Hannibal
Mo-, on cot. He had to be carried to the
steamboat, and no one thought he would live
to reach St. Paul. That was twenty years
ago, and he is still alive. Everybody believed

him, and he told me that he knew forty or
fifty people now enjoying the best of health,
who came up here to die. That's what I
mean by calling st. Paul a next world place,
and it certainly deserves the title.''

''That reminds me OF an experience with
a consumptive," said second guest, who had
overheard the above remarks.

streets. There were good many invalids at
the hotel, all up for their health. Among
the number was q little fellow from New
York city. His name was Weed. His wife,
beautiful woman, was with him. He came
out, as his friends supposed, to die, but he
didn't think so. He was carried up to the
hotel and soon after his arrival began to i'm

His first walk out of the hotel was to an un-
dertaker's shop where he ordered a casket,
saying that he might need it and it would be
handy to have in the family. He not only
ordered it. but had his measure taken for it

Insurance Commissioner McGill wants to
be governor about as badly as an old widower
wants to get married. He does not conceal
the fact that he desires the Republican nomi-

Give kindly cheer when thou may'st view
The noble efforts of the few
Who struggle well, resolved to rise.
Withhold not praise from those who stand
The butt of sneers and haunting pride.

Thy heart for them let love expand,
Thy tongue commend though fools derite.

May dissipate the chilling cloud.
And prove no dim, uncertain sign
That safe they march meath eve Divine
Whom duty calls, though weak or bowed.
"pnI 1l not praise; worth may be bold,
but genius true takes heart from cheer:
Men promptly honor stamped gold

Unstamped, unhonored many a year.

The resolution to excel,

1nrougn barriers strong, and nobly take
The place where worth and honor dwell.

Remarkable Growth of the Subsidized
Merchant Marine of France.
The report of the Commission ap-
pointed by the French Chamber to in
quire into the question of subsidies to
the French merchant navy, states that
since the law passed five years ago
came into force the amount paid in the
way of subsidies to native shipbuilder;
and owners has gone on increasing,
having risen from about G150,0 00 the
first year to upwards of f450, 900; and
the effect of granting these subsidies
has so far been favorable that in re.
spect to steam vessels France now
comes second on the list, next to En-.
gland, their tonnage being now 1877, 1868
tons in excess of that of the United
States, and 1856, 697 tons more than that
of Germany. At the beginning of the
year the French merchant navy com

sailors, and 1913 steamers of 467, 48S tons

pared to those for the year 1878, these
figures represent a diminution of COS
in the number of sailing vessels, while
there has been an increase of 307 in the
number of steamers, with total in
crease of nearly $4,000 tons. The coast

the year, 1906 vessels, of which only
thirteen were steamers, manned by470,
900 fishermen and sailors, while the

Anniversary of a Bell.

The busy city of Breslau, in Prussia,
found time recently to celebrate the
five hundredth birthday of a ell
bell. A tragic story of the castiI
this bell has kept it famous throug t
Germany for longer period than has
elapsed since the discovery of America.
The founder of the bell on the 18th
Of July, 1886, when the molten metal
was just ready to run into the mold,
left the foundry for a few moments in
charge of boy, warning him not to
NEEDLE with the apparatus. The boy
disobeyed the injunction and set the
metal running. Terrified, he called
the founder, who. on seeing the mis-
chief, supposing the bell ruined, struck
the boy to the earth and killed him.
When the metal cooled and the bell
was tried, it was found to be of admir-
able tone and 1inish-the founders
masterpiece. Stricken with remorse,
he gave himself up to the magistrate,
and was condemned to expiate his
crime by death. He walked to the
place of execution to the tolling of his
own bell, calling upon all the people to
pray for "the poor sinner" The bell
has ever since borne the name of the
Poor Sinners Bell.
At that early period Breslau was a
country village of little note. 1t has
now grown to be the seat of the linen
manufacture Of silesia, and next to
Berlin, the largest city of Prussia. The
anniversary of the founding of the
Poor Sinners Bell was not forgotten,
however. The bell was rung morning
and evening, and the pastor of the
church preached a sermon in honor Of
the occasion, in which he told ono
more the aforementioned tale. -

The Wages They Receive, ami How They

ITO make a good waiter" said the
proprietor of a restaurant in which the
walters are all women, "a girl must be
clean, patient, passably good looking
and not too heightened. She must
dress neatly and be quick and bright.
We employ about dozen girls here.
They earn four dollars a week, and
work about eight hours a day. If
girl is a favorite with the customers
she picks up good deal in fees. l
have frequently seen girl here shake
twenty ten-cent pieces out of her
pocket at the end of Il day.
Some of the girls vino have been
here long time have their regular GUS
toners, who are dissatisfied if any one
else waits upon them. Some of the
girls are away on their vacat on now,
and two old gentlemen, who have been
dining here for year, were compelled
to let a strange girl wait upon them.
They found fault with every thing, and
when they went out they inqu red when
their girl would be back. saying they
would dine somewhere else in the
meantime. The girl who waited upon
them is very good waiter, and has
several customers who will let no one
else wait upon them. One Of the girls
here has been waiting upon two gentle
men for two years. They never order
any thing, but simply tell Lizzie the
condition of their appetite and leave
the rest to her. When Lizzie went
away on her vacation the gentlemen,
whom she calls her firm, gave her nine
dollars"

Headache in School-Children.

Prof. N. j. Bystroff has examined
7,47S boys and girls in the st. Peters
burg schools during the last five years,
and found headache in S6S; that is 11.6
per cent. He states that that per cent
age of headache increases in direct
progression with the age of the children
US well as with the number of hours
occupied by them in mental labor; thus.
while headache occurred in only five
per cent of the children aged eight, it
attacked from twenty-oight to forty per
cent. of the pupils aged fourteen to
eighteen. The author argues that an
essential cause of obstinate headache
in school children is the excessive men
tai strain enforced by the present edu-
cational programme, which leaves out
of consideration the peculiarites of the
child's nature and the elementary
principles of scientific hygiene. The
ovcrstrain brings about an increased
irritability of the brain and consecutive
disturbances in the cerebral circula-
ton.
