A Club Mans Experience.

II did not suppose that could ever
feel shy again" said an old clubman
to some friends yesterday, land as
for the blush Of maiden modesty, I
supposed 1t had flown to younger
faces twenty years ago. But I blushed
the other day-yes, and l stammered,
too, like stage greenhorn. With q
little more whiskey and water I
think could tell you all about it,"
That fabrication being supplied
and all the men having disposed
themselves comfortably in the chairs,
the old hide. bound man-about-town
began again:
It was In an artists studio where I
had gone with . friend to call on o
lady artist. 1t WAS the traditional
studio-trays full of squeeze tubes,
pots full of brusher, unframed can
vases hanging about and standing
easels, all that sort of thing, you
know. We looked at the picture OF q
pallid, fashionable girl buying chrys-
anthemums, from robust, rosy flow
or vendor, and grew very confident
and artistic in my remarks. We
looked at other paintings of the Or
binary sort, and as the fair artist was
serious and business like person, /
was perfectly at ease. But all of
sudden she said "Now come and look
at 1 am engaged on at present. 1t was
painting of nude colored girl dry
ing a nude white girl after bath. l
lOoked at it. and liked it of course. L
mean because it was well done But
the artist was young lady, you
know, and it didn't seem quite the
thing to talk much about 1t, so l
edged off. But my friend who took
me there was an artist also, and q
very opinionated one In the bargain,
and he insisted on talking. He said
that the white girls lower limbs were
all out of drawing
upon my word, the lady artist
appealed to me. L had to come back.
1 blushed. From that portion of
female anatomy the pair went on to
discuss other portions-pretty nearly
all portions 1 assure you, and with
the utmost cold blooded, calm nerve.
And whatever one said both appealed
to me for affirmation or denial. L was
asked whether had ever seen a fig
ure like the white girls proportional
so and so, and whether believed the
legs could be large when the arms
were thin; and, on my conscience, 1
was simply standing on red hot iron
through it all. It's all right, you know
its business. It was commonplace to
both those painters, but to me it was
simply q strain, that's all. And you
may believe me or not, but just as We
were going away the fair artist said:
We'll, I'm only sorry you came half
an hour late. If you had come that
much sooner you would have seen the
model herself. She was posing for
me- And here she burst out laugh
ing. Il had to send her away because
the room was so cold the poor child
was blue all over.' SO suppose if we
had happened there earlier, the nude
model would have joined in the dif-

The Soldiers Ideal Is His Duty-Re
wards Few and Far Between.

The Soldiers Ideal Is His Duty-Re-
wards Few and Far between.
In the army, with its vague and few
and distant rewards, there may be and
there are rivalries In devotion and dar-
ing, but there is no competition for place
and money. as there is in civil life; and
vet the soldiers ideal being duty, the
performance of duty seems sufficient. lt
is a state of things which can suggest
much to those who are fond of battling
the hope of better things in us with the
assertion that 1t is contrary to human
nature to act from any but interested and
selfish motives.
Human nature is a great mystery, and
we have not yet begun to solve IL; but it
appears that a number of men drawn at
random from society. and trained TO a be
lief in duty as the chief good, will keep
on not only living it but dying IL. We
civilians talk much, we almost talk solely
of our rights, but in the army it seems
that men talk chiefly of their duties,
when they talk at all, and never of their
rights. These things are true of all
ranks; the ideal is the same from the
private to tine general, and it seems to
correct all the mistaken tendencies OF the
time before they became soldiers.
If. as Ruskin has fancied. the army
should ever serve us as the norm of the
civil state, and we should come TO have
soldiers of the ploughshare as well as
soldiers of the sword" IL might not be
long before we should be told that it was
against human nature to act sel1shly,
aud hat to be recreant TO the general
welfare in any aim or deed was to be
guilty. OF conduct unbecoming Il citizen
and a gentleman. However this may be,
it is certain and it is significant that
those VINO have attempted to dream out a
future brighter than this present have
always had something like a military
organization in their eyes; but these Wis
ionaries have somehow beheld little of
the gayety and enjoyment which are
quite as compatible with the perform
ance of duties as with the assertion OF
rights WilltGm Dean HOl0ells, IN Hdr-
DeT's Mdgdzine for JdnudrU.

England Ruled BY Foreigners.

1t is surprising to think how few of he
men who hold the destinies of England in
their hands are-Englishmen. The Mar
quis of Salisbury and Lord Harrington
are typical of the national character. Mr..
Gladstone belongs to every BIRTH l ice
save his own. The Duke of Portland is a
Dutchman, one Hendrick Bentinck, Herr
Van Dipennam is Overyssel, Baron II. de
Worms is a German, Mr.. AshmeaG-
Bartlett belongs to the United States.
Mr.. Goschen is of Huguenot descent, as
is the Christian memoe for Northamp-
ton," Mr.. Henry Labouchere, and also
Mr.. Shaw-Lefevre. The mother of her
Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria, was a
German. Her married sons and daugh-
ters have, with one exception, espoused
foreigners. The exception is a Scotch
man. The Argyll alliance, however,
cannot be said to ave been a remarkably
happy one.-Leeds Mercury.

The Proposed Building Association
League.


League.
The members of the Building and
Loan Associations of this city should
begin at once to take an active inter
est in the project to form a State
League at Trenton. The meeting at
which the movement is to be started
is to be held at Trenton on the goth,
and SO there is less than a month for
preparation.
At their regular meetings, therefore,
the Hudson county associations should
elect delegates and pass resolu-
tions defining their position on the
various topics that will come up for
discussion at the State meeting. We
would recommend that such express
sions should be made full and clear,
setting forth the reasons for the stand
taken; but we would recommend that
the delegates should be sen unre-
stricted rs TO their votes after an in
terchange of views. Delegates with
put full power r an element OF
discord wherever they put in an
appearance
The avowed object of the projected
league is to render uniform the build
ing and loan association systems
throughout the State. This idea is to
a large extent utopian. The associa-
tions are full Of theorists. who are
not at all likely to surrender their pet
hobbies under pressure of either argu-
ment or organization. But as an
agency for securing good legislation,
for fighting disputed issues in the
courts and for the collection of in
formation respecting the associations,
the league ought to be of great ad-
vantage. Indeed five States already
have State leagues which are said to
be highly useful and beneficial.
We hope the league will be success
fully organized and that Hudson
county will be amply represented in
it. We trust, too, that its managers
will pursue a judicious course, neither
trying to regulate the associations too
much on the one hand nor to oppose
iudicious State control or the other.
In the hands of careful, conservative
men. it may be productive of much
good, and we hope it will fall into
inst such hands.

Poisoned With Rum

The pursuit by the authorities of
the person or persons who, by supply
ing n~ine-year-old Jimmie Halloran
with ram on New Years day, are re-
sponsible for his death, cannot be too
active or too vigilant. The saddest
blot on the happiness of the New
Year reported from any part of the
country is the death of this nine-year-
old child. Think of the little fellow,
WHO drank without the smallest con-
eeption of the consequences or his
peril, and think chen of the inearnate
brute who could supply a boy OF that
age with liquor till all his functions
had been paralyzed beyond recovery !
He has violated law as well as hui
manity by his crime. The sale of
hquor to minors, wen when they are
serving only as carriers, is forbidden
-sternly forbidden. To furnis h it to
a lad for his W indulgence, in such
quantities as to cause his death.
makes the seller a guilty contributor
to the death; and this constituencies
liquor dealer. who probably thought
it was a great New Year Day joke to
send this little fellow home to his
parents, staggering and reeling with
intoxicants, should be indicted for
nanslaughter.
There are limitations, however,
that the bottle from which he drank
the fatal draught had been given to
him for delivery to his mother by the
saloonkeeper whom she patronizes as
a New Year gift, and that the boy
disposed of it himself, instead of car
rying it to his home, Ifthat be the
case the liquor dealer is not 5 o guilty
