BObbS always was a quick witted
chap. Only one other possession Of his
was as nimble as that wit of his, and
that was his money. He was always
broke and always reckless Withal. He
took a cab once, being a bit unsteady, to
convey him from the club to his dwell

night air blowing through the open win
dows sobered him enough to permit of
his realizing that he had no money to
pay the claimants fare.
Just at that III the driver made
that very usual inquiry;
"What address did you say, sir?"
And BObbs said promptly, Or. So

dashed up the steps, rang the bell furi-

the lady being in a dying condition
from an accident.
A cab was at the door, and would the
doctor take the cab: The doctor would.
BObbs huddled him i'll, gave the driver

Italian Art Has Spent It's Force.

In the nature of things it was not tC
be supposed that much excellence o.
painting could come out Of Italy, says
Mr.. John G. Van Dyke, in writing OF
the display Of painting at the Worlds
fair III The Century.
AS we'll expect fine marbles from
modern Greece or bas-reliefs from MesO.
pOtamia. The flower is blown, and even
the stalk is III a dry rot. The art genius
of Italy typiied itself i'll countless forms
during the renaissance. 1t spent its
force, eliminating with Titan and dy-
ing with TiepolO III an art peculiar to its
age and people. The present race can
not repeat the triumphs Of the past, nor
have they tho versatility or strength to
produce a new art i'll keeping with new
tastes.
The attempts Of most of the moderns
are pitiful III their weakness. Pictures
of the Roman Campagna, with ruined
aqueducts, pictures of the pyramids, st.
Peters, the Forum, Pompeiian flower
girls at fountains, monks, fruit sellers,
beggars-hOw much better are they
than the tourist pictures Of castled Chill
lon or the Jungfrau, with an Alpine
glow collar around its top! PenelOpe's
suitors with the bow of Ulysses and the
modern Italians with the palette of Ii

encc between good and bad food. If they
put up with inferior yiands, as they often
do, it is rather because they are not SO bel
ligcrcnt as men and dislike to 'kick, aS
the phrase goes.
Brillat- Savarin is quoted as saying:
1T has been proved by a series Of rigOr-
ousIy exact observations that by a succu-
lent, delicate and choice regimen the ex-
tcrnal appearances Of age are kept away
for a long time. 1t gives more brilliancy
to the eye, more freshness to the skin,
more support to the muscles. Those who
understand eating are four years younger
than those who are ignorant Of that sci
cnco."
No doubt food has much to do with
beauty, but it is doubtful if exceeding
niCcncSS Of palate is n aid to the retain
ing Of yOuthfulncss. A cultivated palate
is usually taken to mean Il fOndnCSS for
curious scasonings and unique COmbina-
ions that do not appeal to the multitude.
1t is desirable to be able to eat cpicurean
cookery when it is set before one, out 1t
would be hardly convenient for either mel
or women to be able to eat nothing else.
Confinement to high living has not been
found TO have a particularly beautifying
effect on those who have tried it.

deere striped crepon in blue and white.
The blouse corsagc is gathered to yoke Of

Effects of Sunlight.

Where river is polluted by sewage,
millions and billions of dangerous mi
crobes flourish in its water and are car
ried along with it to spread disease and
death around its banks unless their de-
velopment is arrested. If the sun does
not shine upon such a river, it may be-
come a peril to whole communities
But If the sunlight does reach it freely
the germs are destroyed, and the water
is kept comparatively free from infec-
ton.
Recent experiments in Italy have
shown that sunbeams are able to destroy
bacteria in water at a depth of at least
20 inches beneath the surface. One
might almost liken the rays Of light in
such a case to javelins and arrows
piercing an enemy, for it has been
found that the destructive action is
greatly diminished if only the perpen-
dicular sunbeams fall upon the water.
The slaughter of the microbes is by
Gar the greatest when both perpendicu-
Jar and oblique rays enter the water I'M
interrupted Like a ship in action, the
sun is most powerful when 1t can rake
The enemy with a cross fire. And il has

way-almost %, 900, 900 milesl But

they are effectiva-Youth's Compan-

A Surgeons Terrible Mistake.

ga few years ago" said Charles J,
Patterson of Philadelphia, II learned
the secret of the life of man who had
passed more than quarter of a century
with scarcely smile. He had been a
physician and surgeon and on one occa-
sion had to remove an injured eye in
order to save the other eye and prevent
total blindness. The night before the
operation he had been drinking heavily
with some friends, and although the
following morning he was sober his
hand was unsteady and his nerves I'M
strung.
'After administering chloroform he
made fatal and horrible blunder, re-
moving the we'll eye by mistake and
thus consigning his patient to perpetual
blindness. The moment he discovered
his error he turned the man over to a
competent surgeon, decided everything
he possessed to him and hurried from
the neighborhood like convicted thief
The remainder of his life was one con-
slant round of remorse, and he rapidly
developed into a confirmed misanthrope
The secret of his life was known to a
number of people, but when it was
finally revealed to me it explained
mystery and made me respect the man,
for however grave was his original
blunder, which in some respects was of
course worse than crime, his repent
ance was of the most genuine charac-

Sharing the Burdens.

The keynote of prosperous and sue
cessful existence is Justice.
1t matters little to what condition in
life one may turn, this statement ap-
plies with equal force to all
1t is necessary to share and share
alike, so far as ones ability goes, the
burdens of existence To put upon one
individual, one class or one nation the
responsibilities that should be divided
equally among all is one of the surest
ways to bring about dissatisfaction and
ultimately open revolt. To every man
his share of the burden is the only rule
that will, for any length of time, hold
good, and the only one upon which
healthy, steady and permanent prosper
ity can be established.
Philanthropy, benevolence and good
will toward men are all very well when
defined in the right way, but when
these words simply mean that one class
or one individual shall take up the re-
sponsibility that Of right belongs to an
other the terms lose their meaning and
become only another name for injustice.
