HOME FOR THE DYING.
Where the Desolate Old May End Their
Days In Peace.


1t was woman whose tender heart
first suggested the sweet charity OF
establishing u home for the dying, a
woman whose personality is hidden
under the veil OF u sister OF charity.
But the idea suggested by her was
executed by kind and magnanimous
women, and both London and Dublin
have such places, whore the weary
wanderer nearing the end OF lifc's
highroad may go and be cared for to
the last, says the New York Adver-
tiser.
These homes are called hospiccs
for the dying, and the pretty name
implies u resting :place in the high
Alps. whore travcl-weary folk may
rest little before winding down
their way into the valleys where tho
shadows dwell.
Within these houses of death fro IN
200 to 800 beds have been provided
strangely bright and light. The
men are on the lower floor OF the
hospital, the women upstairs. Each
ward has its sitting room, and
pagoda is provided for tho men
in the garden, where they may
go to smoke. Books and news-
papers are strewn about, novels
lying by the side OF bibles and
preparation for death prayers. In
some of the beds there arc patients
who are dying fast; some havo al
ready passed into state of un-
consciousness and tho bed curtains
are closely drawn. The wards are
open without pay to all who have no
place where they might end life's
struggle in peace and comfort. There
are also single rooms for paying pa
tients, delightful little nools, dain-
tily appointed and swectly comforta-
bic.
The mortuary chapel is a pure
sanctuary OF white marble. with
roses scouting the air and mingling
with the fragrance of the wax can
dies that are lighted beside the mar
Bile slabs on which the llstless sleep
ers await burial. What greater
charity is there than to provide a
home for the dying poor? A shelter
away from the noisy and noisome
tenement, where tho weary, foot
sore laborcr. the tired, broken woman
may catch last glimpse OF life's
sweetness under the rainbow Of
promise that ere long tears shall be
NO more

Man, 1nhumau,ty to Himself.

The most inhuman outragcs, outragcs which

was because Salzer's seeds are SO ex-

in sixty days; pea in forty; a new
tomato, the Ferris Wheel, measuring
two feet in circumference, and many

A Temperance Agitator In Austria Has to
Fight the Liquor Men and Governor.
American temperance agitators would
not enjoy themselves in Austria. A ma
tive of small village after long cat
aleptic trance year ago declared that
he had been to heaven and had been
commissioned by the Almighty to re-
turn and teach the peasants the wicked
ness of drinking spirits. Soon the en-
tire village took an oath of total absti-
nence. The district governor commit
ted the man to the madhouse, where
the doctors kept him for six months and
then declared him sane. He resumed
his agitation, and in short time seven
villages had taken vows of abstinence.
The result was that a number of liQ-
uor dealers TO whom the government
had granted licenses refused to keep
their contracts. The district judge
gave orders that the dangerous agitator
be arrested if caught preaching absti-
nence. The man has not left his house
for weeks. Deputations come to him
from far and wide to hear his words
and to repeat them when they return
home. The authorities are consoling
the dealers by declaring that the peas
ants must soon drink again.-Vienns

Heirs Apparent and Matrimony.

There are few ladies whom an heir
apparent can marry. At present the
heirs to the thrones of Austria, Russia
and Italy, not to speak of the heir to
the throne of Belgium, the king of Ser
via, and the crown prince of Montene-
gro, are all Of a marriageable age, but
have not yet made their choice. With
out change of creed on the part of a
princess the choice of the Russian crown
prince, outside the Romanoft family, is
limited to Princess Marie of Greece and
one of the daughters of the Prince Of
Montenegro. Similarly the young Ser
Wan King Alexander has only the Rus
sian and Montenegrin princesses to
choose from. Only % Roman Catholic
princesses, born not later than 1877, are
now open to engagements. Five of
these belong TO the royal and ducal
houses of Bavaria, three to Belgium,
three to the Spanish Bourbons, two to
the Bourbons of the two Sicilies, four
to the house of Parma, one to the house
of Orleans and one to the line of Cha
tres, making altogether II belonging to
the Bourbons. San Francisco Argo-
