As a consequence the very rich men,
In New York at least, take every pre-
caution to keep clear of the men and
women who make tia business to prey
upon the wealthy. When Jay Gould
vas alive he was the hardest man in
New York to see. There were any
number of buffers between him and
the outer world. Even newspaper meg
had to run a gauntlet of half a dozen
clerks and then deal with George Gould
before they could get near the tinancier.
Ordinary blackmailers had no show at
all. George Gould is now the manager
in the main of the vast wealth that his
father accumulated and he walks
Broadway without any bodyguard. He
is a most difficult man to see in his own
office.
Those who read of the shooting of

Worn by Soldiers in Ancient Times as a
Means of Protection.
The covering for the body in time of
war usually consisted Of ordinary gar
ments very thickly quilted, or covered
with small rings of metal sewn upon
the inside. The quilted material dead
ened to q considerable extent the force
OF a blow, and the rings made it very
difficult for the lance or sword to pene-
trate. The Westminster Review thinks
there is some ground for believing that
small discs OF horn or bone were some
times sewed upon garments for q sim
liar purpose, but this is not absolutely
certain, for we have only the repre-
sensations in Examinations to judge
by, and 1T is not always easy to tell ex-
nctly what was e to be depicted.
The mail armor varied much as to the
manner in which the rings were af-
fixed to the surface that they were in
tended to protect: in some instances
they seem to be sewn on at one edge
only, in rows, and SO to overlap each
other; in others they do not overlap,
n in yet other cases they are linked
together after the manner in which
purses used to be made of small steel
rings. This last form of mail was GER
tainlythe strongest and most perfectan and
If the iron and steellinks were we'll made
it would require a skillful blow from
sword or lance to penetrate through
them, and even then the weapons would
have to be OF unusually well tempered

in helmets and shields ut different
times during this period. We find the
kite shaped shield in the Bayeux
tapestry, but later 1t became shorter
and wider; the round Saxon shield,

A Timely Bit of Advice.

In these times of grip and pneumonia 1t
is of great Importance that we should
know where to look for n safe and sure
remedy. A slight cold may become q
serious one. the scarcely noticeable pain
in the chest is too often the forerunner OF
pneumonia. The first cough may lead to
consumption, u cough Is always dan
gerous. Never neglect q cold or cough
for even one day. but get at once, as a
the best cough cure, which Is recommen.
ded on all sides. 1t should be kept in the
house regularly to avoid delay when
needed. 1t is sold at all the drug stores.

The Ten Commandments of
Charity.

The thoroughly practical article
''How Not To Help The Poor" by
President John 81. Finley, In the
March number Of The Cbautauquan,
closes with the following ten commaud-
meots of charity given by the exper-
ience Of the past:
Thou shalt have no other motive in
giving before the good of the poor.
Thou shalt not give to the beggar
for the iniauity Of such gift may be
visited unto the third and fourth
generations of him who receives it.
Thou shalt not take the name of
charity in vain.
Thou shalt not tempt son or daughter
to thrust father or mother or brother
or sister upon the poor-rate.
Remember the spirit of charity to
keep it holy
Thou shalt not kill the soul of man
by feeding his stomach.
Thou shalt not let mothers bury their
shame in an orphan asylum nor fathers
hide their greed
Thou shal: not rob the poor to feed
the pauper.
Thou shalt not covet the name of
philanthropist for thine own glory.
Thou shalt not let thy giving bear
false witness to its motive.
If these or like Commandments we're
taught by the churches today and were
learned by all private as we'll as corpo-
rate and church givera, We should be
able to dispense with the historic poor
law. the mother of all poor laws, and to
substitute for the harmful private char
ity of the past, an organized discriml-
mating charity with the spirit which
belongs to the old Greek word from
which tits derived, and which belongs
also to that word of Anglo-Saxon
origin which has been substituted for it
in the Revised Version of the New
Testament, love.

Further Carelessness in the
Preparation of the Laws.

Yesterday attention was called to the
fact that 10 the ac; smendatory to the
act providing for the Punishment of
misdemeanors, i. e.. certain specified
crimes. that no punishment whatever
is provided for disposing of property
under lien. larceny Of life stock and
crops from the field and obtaining
property uuder false pretenses when
the value Of such property SO disposed
of, stolen or obtained, respectively,
falls below S.. The section Of the act
formerly on the statute books provided
for the punishment of all such pretty
offenders, but now the bars are let
down for the petty thieves to do their
work.
Another serious complication occurs
in the act for the punishment of par
ties stealing any crude turpentine Of
the value of S. or more. The act,
which is very brief, makes this offence
misdemeauor, and the punishment is
provided in these words: ''And on
conviction thereof shall be punished by
Imprisonment for not more than one
year or by 6ue of not more than S100
or imprisonment not exceeding thirty
days" Several lawyers were asked
yesterday for the meaning Of this. aud
they give it up. The real trouble oc-
ours in the matter of jurisdiction. No
trial justice can imprison man for
year. and the qaestior arises whether
he eau legally try him for an offence
for which the rish: is given some one
to imprisou the offender for conviction
fer SO long time.
Still another trouble, which is, per-
haps. not the fault Of the Legislature
has developed in consequence of pro-
vision in the act amending the law as
to the licenses of bawkers and ped
dlers 1t will be remembered that the
act did away with the old, provision
for Uniform license Of $500 per year,
and provided that the county commits
siouers should 6x license fees for their
respective counties. The provision
which causes the trouble was that the
commissioners were required to do this
at their first meeting in January after
the passage Of the act. and the right
was given them to fix the license at no
other time-Tbe State.

songster was evidently homesick. 1t
would not sing, it would not eat but
just dropped and seemed to be pining
away. We talked to it, and tried by
every means in our power to cheer the
bird up, but all in vain. My wife was
on the point Of carrying the bird back
to the store when one day friend said
Give him piece of looking glass. +"

cage The little fellow hoped down
from his perch almost Immediately. aud,

delighted He shirped and hoped
about, singing all the pretty airs be was

after that. He spends the most Of his

to sleep at night he will cudd|e down as
close to the glass as he can, thinking.

to the pretty bird that be sees so Of
