How to Suppress Trampery.

A possible remedy for the tramp nuisance

German method Of treatment. In America I

table institutions a positive encouragement
This | have concluded not simply from obser-
walton but from conversations with the heads
Of noted charitable institutions. OF course
there are subjects deserving of charity and
whose only hope Of life Is charity. Those I do
not class as receiving encouragement in idle
ness. refer to the army Of tramps who are
well aware of the fact that the poor houses will
afford them shelter and food to pass their win
tiers in, and without obliging them to work.
Such men are seldom known to reform. Thew
become instead more and more confirmed as
tramps.
This was the case in Germany. Since 1882.
however, the situation has been gradually
changing, until now such a being as q tramp is
one Of the great ~rarities Of the empire. In 1889
there was established at a place called Will
helmsburg o labor colony. And 80 successful
was 1t that others in different parts of the
country were established and have proved

Charles are compelled to work. For working
they are paid q small sum-, none of
which, however, they receive until the
cost of their meals and lodging
has been covered. The food is plain,
naturally, but it is good and in plenty. And
the lodging is clean. The amount of money
received by the benefciaries after the deduc-
ton IL made Is, of course, not large. But it is
enough to encourage the great majority of
them to work. and hen they see that they are
able to lay something aside the ambition to be-

How . Savage King Was Frightsnsa.

"
Prince Bismarck lately, in speaking on East
African affairs to a newspaper correspondent,
incidentally told the following story: When the
well-known African traveller. DIR. Robert Felkin,
was staying with the bloodthirsty King Msssa
Of Uganda many years ago the king, out Of
gratitude for his visitors medical treatment.
wished TO cut of his head On DIR. Felkin rep
resenting that the treatment was not finished
and that IL interrupted il would cause Mtess's
death the latter granted him q reprievs until
he was quite recovered. Then, however. moth
ing awaited and the execution was determined
upon. Emin Pacha, who was q friend OF DIR.
Felkin's, had instructed him most accurately
about the state Of affairs in Uganda and the
court OF King Mtesa and had revealed 70 him
an important state secret, namely, where
Mtesa's powder store was hidden. Dr. FeIkin
remembered this at the right moment and o. .
last resort threatened that if Mtesa killed him
he would bring down . fash Of lightning upon
his powder store. Mtesa replied Internationally;
Tel me where il is" Whereupon DR.. Fslkin
whispered in his ear: at il concealed under
your harem." Mtesa turned pale and allowed
Felkin and his companions 70 live. The light

day a fash Of lightning happened to strike near

1t Is on record in medical literature that in the
year 1881 apoor old man residing in Tarentum,
near Naples, was the subject Of q marvellous
change when at the age Of nearly ninety years.
His skin peeled OF and . new and soft skin
supplied its place; his muscles agnin became
strong and plump; the wrinkles disappeared
from his face and the white hairs from his
head; black, curly hair grew on his head again
and his complexion became fresh and youthful.
Sixty years later he again became decrepid
with a second old age and died after passing his
one hundredth year.

LITERARY NOTES.
(From tho Author.)

Senator Ingalls,, it is said, has been
offered $4,000 a year to edit Frank
Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper.
Mrs. Alice Wellington Rollins is a
thoroughly charming woman, small
and slight, with winsome face, lit
with dark, bright eyes, and irradiated
with a bewitching smile. Within the
last two years Mrs. Rollins has seen
much of strange countries. When
the last yellow fever epidemic fell
upon Brazil she was there and stayed
through it. After several months
she went on to Bermuda, whence she
journeyed to Alaska. One of these
days she will tell us more about her
travels-in volume to be called
"Flom Palm to Glacier"
The next work Of Robert Louis
Stevenson will be called "The South
Seas Record OF Three Cruises, "
and will deal with the language,
manners, morals, and customs OF the
dusky peoples whom the author has
visited, and among whom he has
elected to live.
Iittle Lionel Burnett, who died of
consumption recently, was not the
