people, men and women alike, are put
down as earl. risers and r~ctirers, almost
without exception, and fully nineteen

at some short period in youth. Meals

after that period has consisted when
the regular occupation has been gwen

The Moor on a House Top.

AS was making my toilet one morn
ing CHANGED to see Moor mount to the
fat roof of the opposite house. Placing
himself in quiet corner, shielded by the
higher wall of an adjoining building, he
turned toward the morning sun-or,
rather, toward the holy Mecca-crossed
his arms upon his breast and reverently
bowed his head. After a moment or
two he knelt down and touched his fore
head to the floor three times. He then
sat back upon his heels for a few min
utes. as if in meditation, then repeated
his prostrations, and rising crossed his
arms again over his breast and remained
some time in this reverential attitude.
Finally he Frustrated himself third
time, and with that finished his morning
devotions and disappeared. Truly, he
went upon the house top to pray.-boS-

Men in Extreme Distress.

Who are these who stand on bleak
corners handing circulars, programmed
Who are these who come to the house
door when the shades of night have
closed comfort and domesticity within,
and, ringing, ask enough with which to
buy a nights shelter? Who are these
that timidIy and with faint heart, late at
night, sidle up to passers along the streets
and ask for help?
Sometimes they are dead beats. Some
times they are condensed offense, stencil
full and infamous, but oftener, and in
deed oftener than you think or imagine,
they are men driven by extremity of dis
tress, and by perfect regiment of woe,
to that last resort, their wits. They are
at their wits end for fire, for bath,
for a bit of bread, for an unbroken shoe
for a moments comfort. You turn them
from your door. The police move them
on, the societies with long names and
deep pockets take time ''to consider"
their cases.
Who wonders that the prisons are fun3

ductor half a dollar. Instantly the latter
held up his hand to the engineer, and,
shouting, ''All aboard! Sorry I havens
