That is what the women OF THIS
land annually buy, bcg, or borrow,

They have been sown broadcast
from Lands End to California, and

course some of them are picked up
and restored to their sphere of use

And, again, can anyone explain

was an excellent man of business.
Had he written Paradise Lost he
would have been both very hungry

in existence which, after Offering the
right to publish his works at a cer-

that, whether the publisher accepts
his offer or not, he lord Tennysonl
would not accept "a blessed penny

when asked by customer to cash

TRENTON MONUMENT sachusetts,
Connecticut and Pennsylvania pa
raded the flower of their national
guard, and fifteen Governors and
their colonies, together with cabinet
officers and many prominent men,
joined in the historical festivities
The shaft, costing $50, 900, COM
mcmorates the battle of Trenton,
which occurred after the stirring
scenes In and about New York.
Washington is represented in the
statue as he appeared when he came
down Pennington road on the morn
ing OF the memorable Goth of Decem-
Der to the spot where the monument
is erected, and there ordered Captain
Alexander Hamilton, the l9-year-old
artillerist, aiterward the distin-
gushed flnancier and statesman, to
fire on the enemy then advancing up
Warren street at about where st.
Mary's Cathedral now stands. For
fifty years the subject of the erection
of a monument to commemorate the
battle of Trenton has been discussed.
1t was not until May I, 1884, when
the Trenton Battle Monument Ass0-
citation was formed, that matters as
sumed any shape. An appropriation
ofSl5, 900 was secured from the State
Of New Jersey, and after some delay
the Congress of the United States
made an appropriation of $50, 900,
and individual subscriptions to the
amount of SIS, 900 were secured.

living BEYOND ones Means.

citizen whose income represented a
salary who was not liking beyond

ing up that family to standards and
wants that he could not honestly

not bear witness to this assertion.
But If the alleged fact be true to any
considerable extent, it may be re-
garded as among the causes of the
many embellishments and other pc
cuniary delinquencies which have be-
come so common OF late years "Play-
ing the races" has been the ruin of a
multitude; but living beyond ones
means must bear part of the blame.
And it is more serious than is COM

TIC Rar view Heading Circle.

Ever since the wellknown Chau.
tauqua Circle was started there has
been an insistent demand for a short,
well-planned and low-priced course OF
reading for the thousands for whom
the above circle course Is too expen.
sive, aud requires too much time.
The Bay View Reading Circle has
been organized to meet the demand.
Many of the leading educators and
ministers of the country are among
it,, promoters, and Mr. ]. M. Hall, Of
Flint, Mich, is the Superintendent.
TO him application should be made
for information. The circle las a
four years course OF reading, and has
the advantage Of specializing sub
iects. The first year is the German
year. beginning with November.
There is so much aimless ard hap
hazard reading, that the well-planned
and attractive Bay View course
ought to meet with instant favor.

Matabeles, who are troubling the
British settlers in South Africa.
said he, the other day "The fight.
ing qualities of the Matabeles have
never been tested by contact with a
fighting race. Their warfare has con-
sisted mainly of raids on inferior
races. They are accustomed to the
most brutal massacres. They are SO
thoroughly savage that it is impos-
sible for them to exist beside civilized

The Leverage man. land you WI fud
him everywhere in the proportion OF
about ninety.nine to one) speaks Of Pc
troleum-refnei las "coal OIL" This
is done primarily because of the general
impression that the oil comes from coal,
and that coal is Of vegetable origin.
Biologists and scientists in general, how
ever, take a different view of the matter.
To them the oil is a relic of past geo
logical ages, as well as of animals that
lived when the earth was young. In re-
ferring to the genesis Of ''coal oil" they
never think Of 1t except as an animal oil.
They argue that the great upheavals aud
downials OF the ear'h's crust, which re-
suited in buryiDg billions Of tons OF
vegetable matter, which subsequently
turned to coal, also covered millions Of
gigantic animals with hundreds and
thousands Of feet of sediment. This
sedimentary deposit, in the ages which
have elapsed since old nature was racked
with those rock-rending commissions
which geologists are so fond OF telling US
about, have turned into great strata OF
sandstone, limestone, etc, the oil COM
pressed from the great aggregation OF
animal remains settling III basins, to be
tapped by the ingenious well-sinkers OF
the last half OF the Nineteenth Century.
Thus even past ages are made to contrl-
butte to the welfare and comfort of pres
ent generations.-S Louis Republic.
