PEOPLE WHO NEVER GOTO BED

Generally for the Person that They Have
no Beds to go to.
A man charged with begging once
declared that he had not been in bed
for thirteen years; he took his rest in
doorways and passages. This is not a
bad record, says Cassells Saturday
Journal but many of the homeless class
could probably beat it. Certainly there
are thousands-not only in England, but
al over the World-tO whom such Il
luxury as a bed is unknown; unforty-
mates obliged to lay their heads in the
oldest places imaginable to prevent
their being rudely awakened by the
police.
A sad nGer-dO-wen told the writer
that this was his principal thought for
more days than he could count: Where
should he sleep that night? And he
had a theory that but for having this
object constantly in view as he tralnped
over the monotonous pavements of Lon
don he must have lost his reason. He
laughed himself in after days when he
thought of some of his experiences at
dosing OUT
Even he, however, never slept in 4
stream, which was what some thirty
persons OF both sexes did at Buda~Pesth
Il few years back. The water, which
: was warm, flowed from 4 mill, and the
Migrants got into it and converted Il
. number OF stones into pillows.
Even people with homes could tell
some strange stories ON this head. Of
course, in some countries beds are un-
known. The japanese, for example,
sleep on the floor, nluffied i'll great
wadded coat, and with Il block of wood
for "a pillow. But, combining ourselves
to England, just talk to the jewellers in
the slums on this subject. Why, going
to bed there during the summer months
is positively inviting torture Many
places swarm with Vermin, and conse-
quently those who live in them find it
rather than in the proper place-even
on the doorstep.
. The manager of an Isle of Man hotel
remarked Il few months ago that wis
itors' never went to bed. His servants
are often asked to provide breakfasts
at 3 or 4 a. m. Certainly the streets Of
Douglas are pretty lively any time dur
ing the season.
4 gentleman is fond Of relating that
one night 4 select party settled not far
from his bedroom and created the most
disCordant din imaginable. He bore it
with exemplary patience for about five
more comfortable to sleep anywhere
hours, and then. dressing himself, he
went out and mildly eXpostulated, say
ing he wanted some sleep.
''Sleep!' roared one of the gang, blow
ing Il terrific blast on toy trumpet.
, then what did you come to the Isle Of
Man for?"
They say at Blackpool, too, that if
you arrive at any hour of the day OF
night you are just in time for some
thing or other. The story goes that
early one morning a dance was in pro
gress on enc Of the piers when 4 ship
wrecked sailor, who had been drifting
about on spar and had fortunately
'landed'' on the Orders below. crawlcd
up the steps. NJ. G. came forward
they are never surprised at Black
pcol-sniled, bowed, and said: PLEASED
to see you, sir; can I find you 4 part
ner?'

Meaning of the Various CoIors.

White was the emblem of light, re-
igious purity. innocence. faith. joy and
life In the judge it indicates integrity;
in the sick, humility; in the woman.
chastity.
Red. the ruby, signifies fire. divine love
and royalty. White and red roses ex-
press love and wisdom. The red color
of the blood has its origin in the action
of the heart, which corresponds to, or
symbolizes, love. In bad sense it cor
responds to the internal love Of evil,
hatred, etc.

AN OLD SONG.
It sings to me In sunshine,

It sings to me In sunshine,
1t whispers all day long,
My heart-ache, like an echo,
Repeats the wistful song;
Only quaint old love-lilt
Wherein my heart is hid
MY body is in Segoyla,
But my soul is in Madrid"
l dream, and wake, and wonder,
For dream and day Sre one,
AIight with vanished faces
And days forever done.
They smile and shine around me
AS long ago they did;
For my body is in Segoyia,
But my soul is In Madrid
Through inland Hills and forests
/ hear the ocean breeze,
The creak Of straining cOrdage,
The rush Of mighty seas,
The lift Of angry pillows,
Through which a swift keel slid;
For my body is in Segoyia,
But my soul is in Madrid"
o, fair-haired little darling
Who bore my heart away.
A wide and Woful ocean
Between us rolls today;
Yet / am close beside you,
Though time and space forbid,
For my soul is in SegoVia,
But my soul is in Madrid"
If | were once in heaven
There would be no more sea.
My heart would cease to wander,
My sorrows cease to be;
Ny sad eyes sleep forever,
In dust and ashes hid,
And my body leave Scgovia,
Would my soul forget Madrid!

A MEMORABLE OPERATION.

Description of the First Capital Opera
tion Under the Influence of Either
As all eyes were now fixed pon the
scene before them, D.. George Hayward
stepped forward and remarked that. with
the advice of the other surgeons. he
should allow Mr.. Morton to administer
an article by inhalation to the p.:tient
upon whom he was about to operate,
which it was alleged would prevent n
pain from being felt.
Thereupon, Morton, a man of COM
manding figure and appearance, very
erect. and dressed, as he usually was. in
a stylish fashion peculiar TO himself, con-
slsting of a blue frock coat with brass
buttons. a large and elegant scarf. which
completely filed up the open front of the
waisicoat, "gaitern trousers, ETC.. and
bearing in his hand the instrument al
ready described. anne in from an adjacent
room and advancing to the operating table,
spoke a few words of ncouragemen to
the patient and instructed her in the
method of inhaling. The curiosity on
the part of all present was intense. The
stiffness was oppressive broken only by
the hurried resulrltlon and occasional
sob OF the patent. Grouped about Morton,
standing as the central figure at the head
Of the operating table. were the surgical
and medical officers of the institution, as
also the attendants, all as intent upon t he

most untired spectators in the seats o t
the amphitheaire.
In three minutes the patient was COM
pletely under the influence of the prepar-
alton, as shown by the complete muscular
relaxation, the dropping eyelids, the i'm
mobile pupil. and the deathlike insensi-
billty to external impression. \
The operation completed. and even be-
fore the removal of the patient from the
room, the profound stiffness and suspense
which had hung over all present, was
broken by loud murmurs of surprise and
admiration at the success which had been
attained. Morton was che hero of The
hour, and was regarded with feelings akin
to those which might have been awakened
had All angel suddenly appeared, bearing
waters from "the Lethean streams of OBJ
l~iviou," which having been administered
to the suffering invalid had produced the

nine Brown Place Affair.


We confess we do not distinctly
comprehend the policy of the major
ity of the Street and Water Commits
sioners in respect to the Brown Place
matter. If the right thing to do was
to dedicate it as a street, why did they
not do it last Monday? If it was not
the right thing, why did they let
Mayor Wanser bulldoze them into do
ing it yesterday?
The mere fact that Mayor Wanser
favors any given course sets up a kind
of presumption that it is foolish and
injudicious, but it does not give con-
elusive proof that it is. Anything he
proposes needs scrutiny, but the
Board should not let their prejudices
u away with them to the point of
absolutely not doing a thing because
he suggests it.
On this occasion, he happens to
have been right OF the main point.
The Brown Place strip should be
dedicated as a thoroughfare, and the
act should have been done last Mon
day, before the railway companies
had a chance to get in their legal fine
work. The concession of yesterday
afternoon simply amounts TO giving
Mayor Wanser a feather for his cap
which he is not really entitled to
wear, and it no more improves the
city's position in the litigation than
deliberate action taken this morning
or next Monday would.

The Mayor as a Law Defer.

As for the Mayors i~nfantile conduct
in playing hide and seek with the pro-
cess servers, it is simply humiliating.
That SO weak and foolish a man
should be at the head of this great
city's government is certainly morti-
flying to every citizen possessed of
self-respect. Where was Spencer
Weart, all that timer Could he not
prevent his chief from making such
an exhibition of himself?
The notion that the Supreme Court
of the State would allow itself to be
fooled with as His Honor proposed, is
certainly rich. That the M~ayorshould
assert his devotion to the cause of re-
form by openly and fiagrantly defy
ing the law, is one of the curiosities
of logic that we can marvel at but
never explain.
But the wonder does not end there.
The browning feature of the case is
that citation-to be kept a dead Sc
cret-to the Street and Water Com
missioners to appear before the Mayor
and answer for not doing the thing
they had done months before, as the
Mayor and everyone else well knew.
Why should the Mayor want the pro-
ceedings kept secret? He had been
Dragging and clustering ever since
his electionsabout removing the Com
missioners; whYsdid he now want to
