this one fact, that the growth OF our
modern American cities is due to young
men. You may argue to the contrary.
but this one thing holds good, that when
city begins to grow and improve, ii 10
either very young and new site, or the
elder population have begun to drop of.
Every city on the continent will afford
the positive or negative view Of this fact
either old men are living TO conserve
the unbroken tenor Of their business
way, or the young men have stepped in
their shoes to scatter the careful policy to
the winds and venture new schemes. Old
men live to save-and young men to
spend. A city usually passes through
periods OF thirty years Of quiet progress,
and then twenty years OF rush. This
comes from the tact that the twenty
wears OF rush constitutes the early BUSH
ness lives of young men just come into
inherited wealth, and the last thirty
years marks the period OF solemn thought
aud the desire for absolute security in
the matter Of general wealth. New cities
are examples of places where conser-
vatism has never been, because old men
have not focked there to make their for
tunes. Old cities with a period Of prog
ress come upon them indicate that the
fathers are dying off,"

An English Lesson.

"After you," as the policeman said to
the escaping sneak thief.
pardon me-" as the criminal said to
the governor.
Step this way, please" as the dancing
master said to his class.
"By, and by" as the clerk said to the
customer.
"Ho, there" as the farmer said TO his
field hand.
take chair" as the dentist said to
his patient.
"You make me tired" as the hired
girl said to the Monday washing.
Drop in sometime" as the slot ma
chine said to the nickel.
"Call again." as the poker player said
to the other poker player.
"Get on to it," as the bicycle teacher
said to the nervous scholar.
Come around next week" as Thurs
day said to the day before.
Its all up with you" as the sidewalk
sweeper said to the roof cleaner.
"You are a corker," as the brewer said
to the bother.
That's the end of it," as the boarder
said to the lsndlady when she gave him
the tail OF the chicken.

The Man of the Future.

That the form and anatomy OF the
human species have changed very much
since the prehistoric man was walking
about seems to be clearly demonstrated
by science. We doubt whether any Of US
would recognize in the remote ancestor q
man and q brother could we be brought
to see him face to face. And be would
probably blush and hang his head to be
shown some OF his modern descendants:
but we won't dwell upon that.

changes have been going on ever since

conclude that they will continue to 60 on

At one time in mans history his entire

The mans wife had asked him to go
up stairs and look in the pocket Of her
dress for key she thought was there, and
being man willing to accommodate, he
had done so. 1t was long time until he
returned, and when he did there was
peculiar look in bis eyes.
II can't find any key in the dress Of
your pocket" he said with painful
effort.
"why?" she retorted sharply, ~ left

His tone seemed to disturb her.
"You didn't half look for it," she in.
sisted.

dazed kind Of way.
This time she looked at him.

asked nervously.

effort. that can't find any dress in the

She got up and went over to him.
"Oh, William" she groaned. "have

He looked at her leerily.
81 tell you l can't find any pocket in
the dress OF your key" he whispered.
whats the matter? What's the mat
ter ?" she asked in alarm.
The shaking seemed to do him good,
and he rubbed his eyes as if be were re-
gaining consciousness.
"Wait a minute" he said very slowly
indeed. swat a minute. can't find
any dress limo; l can't find any key in
the dress ONO, that's not it; any-any
ANY pocket. There, that's it," and a
food Of light came into his face. Son

Then he sat down and laughed hyster-
ically, and his wife, wondering why in
the name OF goodness men raised such o
row over finding the pocket in woman's
dress, went upstairs and came back with
the key in two minutes.

VIII Again Be . Candidate fer
President.

The House judiciary committee which
has been investigating the Northern Pa.
cifc decisions Of Judge Jenkins has sub.
mitted a report holding that the orders
Of the court reducing wages aud prohib
iting the employees from quitting work
were q gross abuse OF the power of the
court; were supported bv neither reason
nor authority; were beyond the jurisdic-
ton Of the judge, and were consequently
void. The conclusion Of the Judge that
the employees Of the company could be
forced, by writs OF injunction, to protect
the company from loss and the public
from inconvenience, by continuing in .
service at wages TO which they had not
given assent, was not concurred in by
the committee, which recommended the
enactment OF statute regulating the
powers Of courts in enforcing contracts
by legal process for personal servi ,es.
The suit against the old ring" direc-
tors Of the Northern Pacific has created q
panic among them, and the New York
Tribune claims that by becoming refugees
they are trying to escape from the penal
ties to which they are liable for their
profitable MANIPULATION Of the company
affairs. A $l0,0O0, 900 suit was instituted
against Willard and he went abroad,
being now in Egypt; the taking of testi.
mony WAS begun for the removal of
Thomas F. Cakes as receiver, and Direc.
tor G. L. Colby quietly steals Off to
Europe; an effort is made to probe into
the acquisition Of the Chicago & North
ern Pacific and Wisconsin Central prop
critics, by which bushels Of money is said
to have been made by Willard and asso-
ciates, and two other important wit.
nesses cannot be found. There is no
question but what the old officers made
vast fortunes by their manipulations, hut
the trouble will be in getting the proof
before the court.
On May Sd General Harrison had a
long conference with the editor OF the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, and the
following day that paper contained q
lony editorial making formal announce
ment Of Harrison's candidacy for the
presidential chair in 1896. A few days
later he is said to have denied that he
was candidate, but Brother-in-law
Scott says Harrison will take the nomi-
nation II it is offered.
This is not an entirely ''off year" for

in St. Paul has gone democratic, and an
Ohio district, which gave 500 majority
for Mckinley, now elects democrat to
congress by 500 plurality.

Oddities OF Etiquette.

10 Sweden, IL you address the poorest
person on the street you must lift your
hat. The same courtesy is insisted upon
il you pass lady on the stairway.
To enter reading room or bank with
ones hat on is regarded as bad breach
of manners. To place your hand on the
arm OF lady is grave and Objectionable
familiarity. Never touch the person; it
is sacred, is one OF their proverbs.
In Holland, a lady is expected to retire
precipitately II she should enter store or
a restaurant where men are congregated.
She waits until they have transacted their
business and departed.
Ladies seldom raise in Spain TO receive
a male visitor, and they rarely accompany
him to the door. For Spaniard to give
a lady-even bis wife-his arm when out
walking is looked upon as a decided VIC
lation Of property.

visit is one Of great importance. He is
met by servants before he reaches the
house, and other considerations are shown
him according to relative rank.
The left and not the right is considered
the position of honor.
No Turk will enter sitting room with
dirty shoes. The upper classes wear tight
fitting shoes, with goloshes over them.
The latter, which receive all the dirt and
dust, are left outside the door. The Turk
never washes in dirty water. Water is
poured over his hands. so that when poll
luted it runs away.
In Syria the people never take of their
caps or turbans when entering the house
or visiting friend, but they always leave
their shoes at the door. There are no
nats or scrapers outside. and the floors
inside are covered with expensive rugs,
kept very clean in Moslem houses and
used to kneel upon while saying prayers.

Teeth--that is, non-commercisl teeth
arc rapidly becoming extinct. As il IL,
not one man in hundred has good beth.
In few centuries man with few nat
ural fangs will be regarded as dime mu-

Moreover, there will be no more hair
on his head than is to be found in the in
side OF watermelon. One does not need
to be q scientist to realize that the man
OF the future will have head like bill

preciste this appalling fact is to sit in the
gallery OF theatre and glance down into
the orchestra.
And to add to the horrors Of the situa'
ton the cheerful scientist has now ascer

The Decreasing Pension Roll.

The salient fact in Commissioners Loch-
ems rsrori--an actual falling of in the
number of pensioners on the roll during
the last fiscal year-has naturally excited
atteniion and comment. Although no
fewer than 3o,o85 new names were added
and 1908 that had been dropped were re-
stored, yet the losses by death and oher
causes were such as 10 leave the total on
June 80 last at goo, 544 which was 5.46S less
than that oftWelve months previous.
tits just 20 years since similar natural
reduction set in, during Gen Grants Admin
istration, and continued steadily for five
years, including the first part of tie admin
isiration Of Mr. Hayes. 1t left the number
on June 80, 1873, a; zz3,oos. Then came
series OF extraordinary acts Of Congress
that dil not cease until they had mot thar
quadrupled the roll and more Than quintu-
pied the annual ou'goes.
In tLe=e Gays 1t is a strange reflection
that The Government in 1879 was paying
only s26 ,S44,4r5 for years peusion dis
burssmenls. and yet was praised, aud
rightly for its liberality. Nov, at length,
another period of reduction has come, and
certainly nobody can cali il premature, with
lapse of rsarly thirty years since the end
of the civil war.
