The comforts of life, at the rate they are
increasing, bid fair to bury us soon, as
Tarpeia was buried under the shields of
her friends the Sabines. Mr.. Hamerton,
in speaking Of the increase Of comfort in
England, groans at the trying strain of
expense to which our extremely high
standard Of living subjects all except the
rich" 1t makes each individual Of us
very costly to keep, and constantly tempts
people to concentrate on the maintenance
Of fewer individuals means that would in
simpler times be divided among many.
"My grandfather" said a modern the
other day, left 100000. He was consid-
cred rich man in those days; but, dear
me, he supported four or five families-all
his needy relations and all my grand
mothers"
Think of an income Of $4,000 year be
ing equal to such a strain, and providing
suitably for a rich mans large family in
the bargainl 1t wouldn't 90 so far now,
and yet most of the reasonable necessaries
Of life cost less today than they did two
generations ago. The difference is that we
need so very many comforts that were not
invented in our grandfather's time.-Scrib-

The Willful generosity Of a pretty and
richly clad child, the timid joyfulness Of a
pretty child in rags and the gentle kind
ness Of the richly clad child's mother fur
uished a touching incident on Fifth ave
nue. near tifty-seyenth street one after
noon last week. Both children were girls.
Tn. eyed little girl went into ecstatics
40 the sight ct costly Goll WAiyL lie
other child was carrying. "Oh, mamma,
sec that bootiful dolly! that bootiful, booti-
ful dolly" she cried, Juggling at the skirts
Of the hasgard and thinly clad woman at
her side. The pretty child Of fortune
heard the eager cry Of delight and instant
Is her little heart sWelled with generosity.
Here, little girl" she said, you may
have this dolly; | have got another one at
home" And she pressed the beautiful toy
into the arms Of the poverty mite
The poor woman uttered feeble protest
and the rich mamma was about to inter
fere to recover the doll when the little
aristocrat exclaimed, Now, mamma, you
give the little girls mamma something,
and then we each will have done good
deed" The eyes of the rich woman and
the eyes of the poor woman met and the
rich woman's sympathies were touched.
In another instant a compact green roll
was thrust into the poor woman's hand

The value of a light cruel or other food
taken just before retiring is not generally
appreciated People who enjoy night
supper are quite apt to do tsurreptitiously,
as if they were doing something which was
not quite proper from hygienic point of
view As matter of fact, however, when
the powers of the body have been taxed be
yond the usual hours of retiring food is
necessary. 1t should not be heavy food, of
course, such as will induce restlessness or
a leaden sleep full Of unhappy Nightmares,
but light, wholesome food taken just be
fore retiring This is "A very excellent
thing for women of a delicate, nervous
physique, who are inclined to sleeplessness.
A bowl Of oatmeal cruel, delicately made
of half milk, a glass of hot milk or of
warm clam broth, or Of almost any other
light broth, will often bring a night of
sleep and sweet dreams when nothing else
will. A great many people who eat spar
ingly at their meals require such food as
this before they retire and require also a
cup Of coffee before they rise in the morn
ing, and such extra food win do more to
build up their strength than dozen tonics.
A great deal Of sleeplessness is said by
physicians to be caused by an unconscious
craving for food, which a light broth at
bedtime will satisfy.-New York Tribune.

PROVIDING FOR THE AGED

An idea which seems at last 10 De IA
vorably regarded even in England is
that of state pensions for men and wom-
sn who have passed the age of sixty-hve.
Mr.. Charles Booth has formulated out
OF his own head plan which he thinks
will fit all cases and make poor old peo-
pie comfortable. Bismsrcks scheme
provided for raising this pension by de-
Quoting q small cum weekly from the
wages Of workngmen through youth
and middle age. Mr.. Booth would not
do this, but would have the amount
raised by general taxation for the old
age pension fund.
On his estimate S1.25 q week would
support each old person from the age of
sixty-five TIL his OF her death. This ss-
innate Is based on prices Of living as
they now are. II they should rise from
any cause, then the pension would be in
sufficient, which Is one Of the chief OBJ
jections to the scheme. Another is that
it would take SIS ,OOO, 900 a year out of
tue DTltkn LNeAsbfy. 1nealt No. IA Jho
rascally political methods that British
statesmen are pleased to believe are
chiefly confined to the United States
should ever come uppermost in her maj
esty's reslm-whieh heaven Forbid
then these methods might be employed
to increase the pensions for the purpose
Of increasing votes for one party or the
ether.
These pointers show snare and a
danger whichever way one turns in
considering the subject of pensioning
old people in the United Kingdom.
On the whole the American way is
best-pay working people such good
wages that they can lay aside little
yearly for the time when they shall be
too old to labor, then encourage them
by all possible means TO join building
societies, cooperative savings banks
etc, and lay up enough themselves t.
take care Of themselves. A training tC
habits of thrift and good business sense
is worth all the old age pensions ever
advocated.

ONE DUTY OF THE RICH

A bequest Of Ms. Anna Il. Wlstaoh
leaves the city Of Philadelphia richer by
g., 900 900 The bequest is not all in
money, but one million is in pictures
and rare art collection, which will en-
rich Philadelphia even more than mil
hon of money would do. Besides this,
the schools, hospitals, churches, and al
most every benevolent institution in the
city were remembered in the will Of this
public spirited lady. At the time of her
husbands death he left an estate worth
g., 900, 600 Mrs. Wilstach had also
fortune Of her own. She never touched
dollar Of the money Mr Wilstach left,
but devoted herself to increasing It. She
lived off her own means and managed
her husbands estate 80 wisely and well
that she increased it 30 5000, 900.
Hence the fine sums she was able to
beStow for public purposes.
Il is coming TO be recognized gener-
ally that a very wealthy person owes il
to his fellow citizens to do something for
them, especially if he has gained his
wealth in their midst. There ia sn mn
msnse field for such munihcence in every
town and city Of the country. Parks,
art collections, opera and clubhouses,
libraries, scientific laboratories, scholar
ships in social and political economies,
whore men may have leisure 10 study
the problems that now crowd mankind
for solution-ail these are open to the
public spirited individual. Requests to
the state agricultural stations, which
are doing so much to forward the lead
ing industry Of the country, will work
good At any rate it is a thoroughly
sound principle that the rich man must
do something for the public. The poor
est way 10 discharge this obligation,
however, is 70 give money in shat kind
OF downright charity which tends to in
crease pauperisrn.

Mendel's switch. All of the train
except one coach and the sleeper passed the

cannot be explained but possibly by
the jarring Of the train, the switch

stopped by the same two highwaymen who
stopped it on Tuesday night last. John
Boyce was driving, with a man named G.

aud wearing a red bandana mask ordered
the stage to stop and the passenger on the

SCORES OF SoRRowFUL CALLERS
THIS LATE RESIDENCE.

Messages of Coincidence Received
From Every Section of Virginia.
President Harrison Expresses Re-
gret at his Inability to be Present at
the Funeral-Services to be Held in
the Senate To-day.
WASHINGTON, May 15-There was large
number of sympathy callers at the residence
OF the late Senator Barbour to-day, who
came with tributes of respect and affection
for the dead Virginian. Messages Of con
dolence were received from every section of
the state Of Virginia. Early in the morn
ing Vice President Morton called to tender
his sympathy on the death Of the honored
member Of the body over which
he presides. Justice Field OF the
supreme court and Senator Kenna
of West Virginia were also at the house.
A majority of those who came, however.
were Virgtnians, many of Senator Bar
bour's fellow townsmen from Alexandria,
as well as prominent men from other parts
OF the state and from Baltimore.
PRESIDENT HARRIsoN's MESSAGE.
The Vice President received from Secre-
tary Halford a message expressing Presi-
dent darrlsons regret at being unable to
attend the funeral exercises tomorrow.
1t was as follows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, May IL, 1892.
SIR-The President directs me to acknowledge
the receipt of your note informing him of the
sudden death of Hon. John s. Barbour, late SEN
ator from the state of Virginia, and an invita-
tion for him to be present at the funeral serv-
ices to be held in the Senate chamber on Mon
day, May 16. This sad announcement reaches
him just as he is leaving the city with Mrs Har
rison, who has been In i'll health for some time.
But for the command of her physician that
Mrs. Harrson's trip be not further postponed,
the President would esteem it privilege to re-
main and participate with the Senate In the
last offices of respect to the memory of the dis
tinguisned senator.
AT IL o'clock tomorrow morning the
remains will be conveyed to the marble
room Of the Senate. The Senate will meet
at IL O'Clock and an hour later the body will
be taken into the Senate chamber, where
the funeral services will be held.
ACTION OF THE VIRGINIA ASSOCIATION.

the Virginia Democratic Association this
morning at the Metropolitan hotel to take

were Judge Keith of the circuit court of

In the Senate.

The week will open with an air of gloom
In the Senate, as Monday will be devoted
to the funeral services Of the late Senator
Barbour of Virginia.
Under the pressing necessities OF public
business, however. the Senate will soon re-
turn to its normal state of activity, proba-
bly, reSuming consideration Of the naval ap-
preparation bill Tuesday.
1t is probable that after the passage of
that measure there will be clash among
several other bills which will occupy O posi-
ton OF more or less privileged character
The silk culture bill was made the special
order for Monday, and its friends may en-
deavor to have it considered the next day.
but this would trench upon the time allotted
by special order for consideration OF the bill
fixing the compensation of United States
district attorneys. What may prove to be
an effective obstacle to both OF these meas
ures, however, is the river and harbor bill,
which Senator Frye, according to notice,
will call up Tuesday. II this bill is taken
up its consideration will doubtless consume
the greater part Of the week, displacing
even the unfinished business, which is the
compulsory pilotape hill
