--EX-Secretary Bayard has aged con-
siderably since leaving Washington,
though in apparently good health. 1t
is noted that success in politics seems
to act as Il powerful tonic, and public
men in Washington bear their years

The library left by the late George
Bancroft is reputed to be one of the
best private collections of books in the
country. 1t contains about twelve thou
sand volumes, among which are many
works in foreign languages, and every
book in the collection has a value apart
from its selling price. The books were
closely packed in the four rooms that
comprised Mr.. Bancroft's library work
shop, and there was never any attempt
made to display them.
King Kalakaua was worshiped by
the colored folks. When he visited New
York they crowded to see him, and ever
since they have kept his portrait con

his face were such that it was hopeless
to try to convince the ignorant among
them that he was not an African. Per-

the war pleased the race so well as the
honors that were paid to the walnut
colored king in this county.

Some Florida Women.

Some public-spirited women in win
ter resort in Florida have formed them
selves into society which they call the
Village Improvement association, and
have assumed the duty of keeping the
streets clean. They employ a man to
pick every scrap of refuse which litters
the pavement or gutter, and, as this
factotum is practically in the employ
and under the authority of every wom-
an in town, whose vigilance is unceas-
ing, his work is thoroughly and eff
ficiently accomplished. At intervals
along the pavement they have caused to
be placed neatly painted barrels, with
bit of verse begging the passer-by to
utilize them by tossing into them the
bit of paper, cigar stump or fruit skin
which would otherwise be thrown down
untidily. They have also organized the
children into a society pledged not to
throw any kind of litter into the pub
lie ways. That town is a model of
Utopian cleanliness, and suggests the
idea that ''city mothers" instead of
fathers might be successful. -Philadel-

WHY WOMEN MARRY.
Only the Woman who WEEDS for Love Ii
Worthy a Mans Affection.

Worthy a Mans Affection.
You see the day has gone by when
man would do any thing for woman;
countries need to be either very young
or very old when this sort of thing hap
pens, but after all | can't help but re-
member that question, What do wom'
en- marry for?"
Some women marry because they
want home of their own, and these
are my conclusions:
Some women marry because they
haven't the moral courage to remain
single.
Some women marry because they
want little more money in their
purses and a little larger credit at the
shops.
Some women marry because they
want to put Mrs" on their visiting
cards.
Some women marry because their
mother wants them to-
Some women marry because man
asked them to, and they don't like to
say no.
Some women marry for money
money, and nothing else. These wom-
en- get the money, and with it great re-
sponsibilities they never dreamed of.
Some women marry because they
love the man, because they want to be
his wife, his friend and his helpmate;
because they want to make him feel
that there is one woman in the world
whom he can love and cherish, and
from whom he will receive love and
consideration in return. Because they
want him to feel that if sorrow comes
he has sympathizing, loving friend
close beside him, and that in the day of
Joy there is one who can give him smile
for smile. These are the women worth
marrying. The others are of little
worth, and never would be missed If
they suddenly dropped out of the matri-
monial bonds -Bab's New York Let

BABY'S MISSION.


Everybody has q mission,
Missions great and missions small,
But think the baby's mission
Is the sweetest one Of all.
To us he comes missionary
From the land where Jesus went,
To gently teach the truth OF lovlng,
In the homes where he is sent.
How very sad and lonely, dreary,
Would be each high and lowly home,
II for years and years no baby
To this world would ever come.
Yet he comes and takes the homage
Loving hearts and hands do give;
And whilo loving him we're learning
What 1t is for love to live.
We would grow so cold ana selfish
II no prattling voice we'd hoor,
And no chubby face would greet US,
Month after month, year after year
Thon thank Heaven for the babies,
Even II they're not your own,
For this world is much the better
For the seeds of love they've sown.

THE ART OF SPINNING.
Beginning of One of the Most Important
Industries OF To-day.


Beginning of One of the Most Important
Industries Of To-day.
A traveller gives an interesting ac-
count, in the latter part of the seven
teenth century, OF German schools for
spinning for little maids of six and
over, where they were taught to make
a fine thread that they could never
make if the learning were delayed, the
teacher sitting in the center Of the
room, long white wand in hand, with
which she tapped the oilers, and seach
child could spin fine and finer thread
she was raised to higher form, spinning
being the education, and all the promo
tons and chastisements of schools in
general being observed. 1t was at
about the same date that the laird's
daughter Of Barganan-Christian Shaw
herself commenced the spinning Of
fine linen thread in Dundee, selling it
to the lace. makers, and so brought
about what with subsequent improve
ments proved to be a great industry,
for which good work we may forgive
her for having been the cause of the
burning of five witches. 1t was not
long afterward that the wife of Fletch-
er of Saltoun took journey over seas
with two experts disguised as servants,
and brought back to her parish the
secrets connected with the weaving of
hollands, ''to the great enrichment of

who in 1925 brought into Scotland from
Holland, where almost all such ideas
seem to have been in a very forward
state, the art of spinning white sewing
thread, and we can picture to ourselves
the need she had of it before she went
fearsome journey, and watched and
waited, like spy, among foreign peo-
pie, in order to bring it into use-a

thousands, giving comfort to millions,

free raw material and free necessaries
Of life for free men in free country
Why did not Mr.. Gummlns go on in
his catalogulng of free articIes2 He
might have added to his list free rice,
free cotton and free sugar.
The latter articles are Southern pro-
auctions, and, as rule, while South.
ern Democrats want free every thing
for the North except free speech and
free elections they are very particular
about having their products all very
cleverly protected. We have free
sugar. now but it is only because the
government pays two cents a pound
bounty TO the manufacturers OF it.
The beautiful effects OF free everything
for free men that Mr.. Cummlns so
much longs for can be seen In Eng

during the last year have sought the
shores of this terribly oppressed pro-
teoted country. These people seem to
be perfectly satisfied to exchange their
free country leaving all the endear-
ments OF home and love OF native land
behind them for the sake Of getting
home here amongst strangers, but in

THE Sixth Annual Report of the
Commissioners or Labor has been pub
llslied and gives some very interesting
statistics about the cost OF living
among American and European Iron
workers which rebound TO the credit
oi the American. Tho report shows
that while an American iron worker
consumes 4.51 bushels OF potatoes, the
European CONSUMES $50. but while the
American consumes Sl.55 pounds of
sugar. the European consumes s2.6j
pounds. While the American con.
samoa s4.1Spounds ofbutter, the Euro.
pean consumes only 24.69 pounds. and
while the American consumes l7S. "a
pounds OF meat, the European can
afford but 74.77 pounds. though Eng
llsh iron workers are proverbiallya beef
eating people, eggs are the only thing
the European excels in, for white he
consumes 1882 dozens year, tho
American consumes l3.36 OF Hour the
American consumes 300. 10 pounds,
while the European consumes 2l9.6s
pounds and Of coffee the American con
snmes 6.6i pounds and the European
but 3 10 pounds. @..4-
The American uses 6, II pounds Of tea
and the European SO pounds.
Notwithstanding the higher stand
ard OF living in the United States the
average cost per family for all kinds
offood is proportionately much less,
being S2l3.65 in the United States and
ses2.52 in Europe. This completely
dispels the reports that it costs less to
live In England than in the United
States. A farther comparison shows
greater advantages in favor of Ameri-
can iron-workers. Out OF 249o fami-
lies reported for the United States, $40
own the houses in which they live, or
about one in every five, while of no
European families reported only 81
own the houses in which they live, or
about one in every 25. Other comparl.
sons everything else being equal show
great advantages for the American
iron-workerand laborer; still we have
amongst usia number of those, very
working men who are trying to reduc
the standard Of American living down
to level with European labor aud
living.
