The Honest old soul.


We think We are moving along at a rapid
rate in this steam generation of ours. But
we do not know just what the gait is until
we meet some honest old soul from the set
Elements, who has not had an opportunity of
keeping abreast of the times. It is his in
nocence that amuses, but we are too prone
to laugh at his ignorance. There Is some-
thing else in it-a study showing progress

day in bank. He had some business trans
saction there. He faltered on the Intel OF
the door and asked if "thisn was the Illinois
Savings and Trust company. He was in.

and saw in the doorway foot mat of rubber
on which was the name of the bank.
''They Amt doin' as much bizness as they
was,n said the old man. "When fust done
bizness with 'em they had the sign over the
door. Now they've got it on the fioor.''
The old man was instructed on the foot

"Then this bent the sign, but mat to

"Well, that beats me. I reckon when GO
back and tell Samanthy about this she'll go
off into hysteriekes and say I've left the Pro

He walked in and looked about the room.
The wainscotting OF the handsome room is
of polished marble and the floor is of tiling.

however, his presence is necessary at official
ceremonies OF festive gatherings he is one of

is grouse shooting, and in the season he fre-

briefly
A Buffalo man has found out how to take
q very cheap vacation. He was worn out and
planned voyage to Bermuda. It was an
undertaking not to be undertaken in hur-
~, however, and much correspondence was
had with the agents of steamship lines, and
the man went so far as to read works on
ocean voyages and a history and description
Of Bermuda and its people and products.
AL this was highly exhilArating:: Circum-
stances made It necessary to defer fixing a
date for the trip, and finally it was too iate
to take it at all. But to his establishment
the worn-out man found that the pleasurable
excitement of reading, thinking and talking
about the proposed voyage and planning for
it had operated in the same way as the voy-
age itself would have done. He had recov-
cred his spirits, appetite and vigor. This
kind of vacation is certainly within the
reach of all.
Professor Chaille, dean of the medical fac.
ulty of Tulane university, New Orleans, has
published report on the life and death rates
of New Orleans as compared with other
cities. In this report he announces that in
most parts of the United States women have
better expectation of life than men; they
live longer and survive with more tenacity
and success the Yicissitudes that tend to
shorten existence. His language is as fol-
lows: The expectation of life for females is
in every locality better than of males, but the
difference in favor of females varies greatly,
and to an extent inexpicable by me. The
superiority of white females over males is
greatest, and very great, in New Orleans and
Charleston. It is little in Boston, Brook
lyn and New York, and it is very slight and
least in New Jersey and Massachusetts,. The
fourteen localities take, in reference to this
superiority of females over males, the follow
ing order: New Orleans, Charleston, Cincin'

Richmond Merchants Strongly Favor 1t.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
Board OF Directors Of the Chamber of
Commerce held Thursday, the following
resolution, offered 10y Mr. J. J. Montague,
was unanimously adopted
Whereas the bill to incorporate the
Maritime Canal Company of Nicaragua,
which has passed the United States
Senate and IL now pending in the House
Of Representatives, concerns a matter of
great importance TO the commerce of the
world, and especially To the carrying
trade; and whereas the construction Of a
ship canal through the American
isthmus promises 10 confer great and
important advantages upon The Atlantic
ports i'm their trade with South America,
California, Australia, and other points on
the Pacific and whereas the said pend
inc act of Incorporation only cOnfers on
an association of American citizens the
necessary powers for the execution of
this great WORK without involving our
Government in any pecuniary liability
therefore be il
Resolved, That the Nicaragua canal
enterprise is one which is entitled TO the
sympathy and support of the representa-
tives of American commercial interests.
And be ii further resolved, That we
hereby request our. representatives III
10 the end that the said Maritime Canal
Company may begin its operations at as
