We Are Slaves to Greed.

If to be free is to live in a country
(the United States) where you are in
mortal dread of the press and the po-
lice, where you are heartily ashamed of
having any n connected with you en-
gagged in politics, where corruption
reigns in every department of the gov
eminent and the municipalities, where
the only a~ristocracy is that of wealth
and not of honor, and where the liberal
professions are all counted lower than
Wall street, where, in effect, men are
the veritable slaves Of greed and gain,
why, give me the old fashioned slavery
Of the old country and the domination
Of some recognized house which is at
least the fountain of honor.
One doesn't have to apologize in Eng
land for going to court, but it seems a
necessity in America if n is in any
way connected with the White House.
When I first came here, I thought a
member Of the house Of representatives
held a position at least analogous to the
average member Of parliament. I find,
OF the contrary, he is about a much
esteemed as an outside broker on the
Stock Exchange. and for much the same
reason Temple Bar.

Thought He Was Beecher,

When Henry Ward Beecher was at
the height of his career, there were a
few men who resembled him near
enough to be able to duplicate him in
public Among these was Judge --
Of Buffalo, who sometimes found the
likeness a source of annoyance. At one
time the judge was travelling with a
party of ladies who were under his care.
He CALAMITY ascribed the attention he
received to them, but on an occasion
when he retired to the smoking car the
riddle was solved. The moment he left
the parlor car a couple of strange men
hurried in, and after ~apologizing to tho
ladies for the intrusion asked very ear
nestly if the gentleman in their company
Were not Mr.. Beecher. Upon being as
sured that he was not, one man turned
to the other, and handing him a roll of
bills said:
Take them; you've won." Then,
turning to the ladies, he explained, Il
bet 500 that your friend was Mr..
Beecher, and I've lost" And he fol-
lowed his companion from the car. The
judge laughed heartily when told of the
incident and said it was not the first
time that another mans greatness had
been thrust upon him. Detroit Free

SOME OTHER DAY.

There are wonderful things we are going to do
Some other day,
And hsrbors we hope to drift into
Some other day.
With folded hands and oars that trail
We watch and wait for a favoring gale
To fill the folds of an idle sail
Some other day.
We know we must toll If ever we win
Some other day,
But we say to ourselves there's time to begin
Some other day.
And 80, deferring, we loiter on,
Until at last we find withdrawn
The strength of the hope We leaned upon
Some other day.
And when we are old and our race is run,
Some other day.
We fret for the things that might have been
done
Some other day.
We trace the path that leads us where
The reckoning hand Of a grim despair
Leads us yonder, out of the here,
Some other day.

Ii or VIII He.

One Of those grammarian friends met
me the other day and asked me which
was correct, Tomorrow is Sunday" or
Tomorrow will be Sunday" / told
him the following story: Years ago the
Reading Railroad company issued an
order requiring its brakemen, as soon as
q train started from any station, to call
out the name Of the next stopping place.
For awhile the trainmen, instructed
doubtless by some grammarian Of the
road, would do this by saying, Next
station will be"-Allentown, Reading,
etc. An editor took them to task for it,
pointing ont the absurdity Of using the
future tense in speaking of that which
always Is in the same place. After that
the brakemen dropped will be" and
cried, Next station Allentown,

Liquid Food an Aid to Digestion, end Cold
Drinks Refresh Heated Persons
The incessant adjuration not to drink
with meals we have always held the re-
verse of truth from theory and from ex-
perience. The latter is that dry meals
heartburn, the former shows that
splitting up the meal Of solid food with
liquid acts precisely like splitting logs
Of wood into kindling for the fire, giving
the digestive fluid easy access to the
small particles, instead Of sizzling and
making gas on the outside of q wad Of
thick paste. And the talk of diluting the
gastric juice is nonsense, because the
surplus fluid drains quickly through the
stomach. Better drink too much than
too little.
We are glad now to be REINFORCED by
an English sporting man, Mr.. Horace
Hayes, who says that drinking nothing
during or for an hour and a half after
meals is the best Of ways t train down
weight, but he cannot do it because it
always brings ON rheumatism-probably
from the solid food producing overcon
centrated salts in the circulation, a.
consequent deposits in the muscu
fiber. The same writer says that the Il
ton about animals being injured by Civ
ing them a drink when heated is a stupid
and cruel piece of barbarism; that it
only does them harm when the drink is
very cold, by producing nervous shocks
as it would to a man, while if the chill
is taken off it first, it refreshes a heated
horse to take a good drink just as it does
a heated human being. Travellers Rec

Of Venice, over Otto, son Of Frederick

And you say, 81 love you'll to mel

Or. play that you are the other one
That sometimes came and went away
And play that the light of years agone
Stole into my heart again todayl
Playing that you are the one knew
In the days that never again may be,
I'll say, "I love you'll" to you,
And you say, 81 love you'll to mel
81 love you'll my heart will say
To the ghost of the past come back today.
Or, play that you sought this Nesting place
For your own sweet self, with that dual
guise
Of your pretty mother in your face
And the look of that other in your eyesl
So the dear old love shall live anew,
AS hold my darling on my knee,

THE LIAR.

I never loved but one woman. pass
ed five years with her in perfect happi-
ness. I can truly say that to her owe
my success, because of my freedom from
care and because she imbued me with
some of her great ambition. From the
first moment we met it seemed to me
that had always loved her. Her beauty
and character answered all my dreams.
That woman never left me. She died in
my house, in my arms and still loving
me. But when think of her it drives
me mad. If I attempt to describe her as
she was during the five years, in all the
glory of her love, with her tall, svelte
figure, her clear cut features, like an
oriental Jews, her luminous, pale face,
her cheerful talk, her voice soft and
sweet as her glance; if I try to bring
again to my mind that vision of delight,
it is only to say-I hate her!
Her name was Clotilde. In the house
in which [ first met her she was known
as Mime. Deloche, the widow of cap
tain long since dead. She appeared to
have travelled extensively. In her con-
versation she would sometimes say,
"When I was at Tampico, or, perhaps,
"Once during a raid in Valparaiso. I"
Aside from these remarks nothing in
her manner, in her language, suggested
anomadic life-nothing of that disorder
and hurry incident to quick departures
or untimely arrivals. She was Paris
ian, dressed always with exquisite taste,
serapes by which one recognizes the
wives of officers and marines who are
perpetually on the move.
When I found that 7 loved her, my
only idea was to ask her hand in mar
riage. A friend spoke to her for me-.
She replied simply that she should never
marry. Thenceforth I avoided places
where I would see her, and as was too
unhappy to work I resolved to go away.
was making preparations for depar-
ture, when, one morning. in the midst
of the confusion of packing, Nine. De-
loche entered my apartment.
"Why do you go away?" she asked.
because you love me? also love you,
on1y"-here her voice trembled a little
-"only am married" And she told
me her history.
It was story Of love and desertion.
Her husband was dissipated. He had
beaten her. They separated at the end
of three years. Her family, Of whom
she seemed very proud, occupied high
positions in Paris, but since her mar
riage they had disowned her. She was
a niece of the grand rabbi. Her sister,
widow of an officer of high rank, had
married for a second husband the gen.
eral Of the guard at st. Germain. AS
for herself, financially ruined by her
husband, she had fortunately been high
ly educated and possessed several ac-

Animals Understand Hygiene.

Enough is now known of the nature
of animal materia medica to excite in
terest and curiosity. There is abundant
evidence that many species know and
constantly make use Of simple remedies
for definite disorders, and at the same
time observe rules of health to which
only the highest civilization or the sanc-
tion of religious prescription compels
man to conform.
1t has been noted that the general
condition of animal health, especially
in the case of the herbivorous creatures,
corresponds not inexactly with that of
