1t is claimed that as there was no com
petition in the bids for constructing the
vessel, no other firm would be- wronged by
the acceptance of the boat. Also that the
speed requirement of seventeen knots was
not fixed by law, but by the secretary of
the navy, who may therefore modify the
conditions, and further. that In, equity no
person can be held to the performance of an
impossible condition, and it II impossible

Novel AvOcatlon Pursued by Man and
Wife in the British Capital
A new profession for "gentlefolk"
has been discovered in London by two
impecunious members of the class.
They have discovered that there is a
livelihood to be gained by polishing
off" the nouveaux riches and others
whose manners "have that repose
which stamps the case Of We're de
Vere." They are well-born, we'll
bred married couple who are still suf-
ficiently young to be adaptable. They
have been used to the ways Of the
leisure class and they are clever
enough to teach them. Anything from
the cure Of the cockney accent to the
proper way to entertain a duke Is
taught for a consideration" The wife
describes her share Of the work thus:
81 generally" she says, undertake to
engage the services of all specialists,
such as superior maids, who know
what is what, and can give judicious
and useful hints to their mistress; also
manicurists, teachers Of department,
and sometimes teachers of elocution.

outward vulgarity in three weeks for

anything better than heavy English
dinners, Fridays to Mondays at Bright

married the daughter Of west end

The term "caiien" is a corruption Of
Acadian, and is applied to an Hitter
ate class of people living on the low
prairies of southern Louisiana. These
people are descendants of the old
Acadians, who formerly dwelt in
Acadia, a county Of the province of
Quebec. But after the conquest of
Canada by the English in 1853, the
Acadians were, by the stern decree of
George III, rudely forced to leave their
quiet homes forever. Many of them
found their way to the grassy prairies
of our fair state, and engaged in the
rearing of long-horned cattle and buck
ing ponies. The language originally
spoken by these people was European
French. But during 1876 years G. isola-
ton and illiteracy their speech has de-
generated into mere patois, bearing
about the same relation to the French
language as the negro dialect does to
the English.

Just a CITY Roy.


TITS a wonder to me-" said the dear
old lady from the country as she stood
waiting on the crossing, that them
electric cars don't run off the track
sometimes"
"They do, ma'am," said the small boy
at her elbow, who saw his opportunity.
Mercy me, child, and how do the
people keep from being run over?"
"They don't ma'am. When one o.
them cars goes gee-whiz Off the track
there amt time for ennybody to get
out Of the way"
La, salSes, child! Let me get up on
them steps, Now, are you telling me
the TRUTH"
"S'hope to die, ma'am! But you amt
any safer on them steps than out in the
street When they take notion them
cars can jest climb any steps in this
town, Honest Injun, ma'am."
The old lady turned and looked at the
boy She saw a frank face on the sur
face Of which few freckles floated, mild
blue eyes filled with innocence, and just
twinkle Of mischief She had seen boys
before and new the trade mark. But be-
fore she had time to apply her dubbed
umbrella the urchin was gyratlng down

on woman's face before and he, too,

A blind Lamb.

Dog stories are common enough. Sto-
ries concerning sheep are much more
rare. Many years ago 1t came under
the notice of the writer to observe c
mother with twin lambs, one Of which
seemed quite different from the other,
wandering about aimlessly and not as
others Of the kind. We were not long
in discovering the cause-it was blind.
The mother and brother were quite
alive to the fact and watched the little
one with tender and unwearied care,
one or the other, as they saw 1t getting
into danger, rushing forward to the
rescue, and with a sharp but kindly
butt turning the little blind one out Of
danger and into a safer path. Was
not something more than instinct de-
veloped there?

TO ENCOURAGE PENIrENrs.
Law Providing for Minimum Sentence
for Good COnvicts.

for Good COnvlcts.
One Of the recently enacted statutes
of the State Of Massachusetts is known
as the undeterminate sentence law, and
was passed for the benefit Of peIitent
criminals, in the belief that such con-
slderation Of that class Of malefact-
ors would be conducive to the welfare
Of society. This law applies only to
oifenses punishable by sentences to the
state prison. Two and a half years is
the shortest term to which any convict
may be sentenced under 1t, and the
judge in passing sentence may fix the
minimum at q considerably longer
period. The court also pronounces the
maximum sentence under the law,
which varies according to the circum-
stances, as Is the case in all states.
When the minimum sentence has been
served out, the board Of prison COM
missioners examines the convict's
record, and by that and other means
ascertalns how he has deported him
self and what are the probable chances
Of his making good use of his time II
set free. On the recommendation Of
this board the Governor and council
may release the prisoner but he goes
out with the remainder of the full
maximum term hanging over him. II
he violates any Of the conditions Of his
release--and they are very stringent
or IL he breaks any law of the state, he
goes back to prison to serve out the
maximum term, and the period during
which he has been at liberty is not
reCkoned as part Of the term. This
plan is an adaptation of the English
ticket-of-leave.. 1t has the recon-
mendation of the penologists, social
scientists, jurists and experienced
legislators. It's advocates urge that
valuable lives may be saved from utter
wreck by giving young man or woman
who has fallen under temptation
chance to try again. They urge that
the interests Of society and those of
penitent criminals lie in the same direc-
ton; that the state and the Individual
will both be advantaged by giving the
latter an opportunity to repair past
errors. 1t is admitted that great care
and circumspection will be required to
so enforce this law as to make 1t pub
lie benefaction, but its friends are
pledged to use their best endeavors to-
ward making the new departure q
success.

Two Little Tots in Church.

Two little Kansas City tots, one and
the other 4, were allowed to go unat-
tended to Sabbath school. At its close
they decided to remain for church and
sit in the front pew with their grandma,
NOW grandma was not able to go TO
church that day. Disappointed as they
We're, they remained, and were very
quiet and attentive. Finally something
was said that greatly annoyed them.
Then whispering commenced.
IF he says that naughty word once
more we will go right straight home"
whispered Lucy
Eyes, we WILL" said little Bessie.
Suddenly the tots looked at each 9TH
er, then, picking up their papers, walked
hand in hand down the long aisle and
out of the church.
On their way home they passed the
church in which their other grandma
worshiped. They decided to visit her.
In they went and walked down to the
amen corner and seated themselves by
grandma.
At the close of service grandma
marched two crestfallen little culprlts
home, Then she took them to task for
disturbing the meeting by coming in
30 late.
Now, grandma, you know" said ex-
cited Lucy, that you always told us
when people said naughty words we
should run away from them. The
preacher he swore, he did, and said
to Bessie that If he said that word again
we would just have to go home, He did
say it again, and we ruined off from
the church."
What did he say?" asked the amazed
grandmother.

Brains in tho Finger Tins.

1t may not be so generally known
that recent post-mortem examinations
of the bodies OF the blind reveal the
fact that in the nerves at the ends of
the fingers well-defined cells of gray
matter had formed, identical in sub
stance and in cell formation with the
gray matter Of the brain. What does
this show? 1t proves that man can
think not alone in his head, but all over
his body, and especially in the great
nerve centers like the solar plexus, and
the nerve ends on the palms of the
hands and the soles of the feet. The
coming man will assuredly perceive
and think in every part, from his head
down to his feet.

broken in It's success, and has recently
brought him back to America to settle
with q consciousness Of work we'll done
and we'll rewarded. When Mr.. Mosler
departed for Europe the Dusseldorf
school was in Its glory and he went
straight to that center Of German
thoroughness and sentiment. He found
much there that established him in his
art, but 1t was not long before the in
fuence of Paris began to move him, and
he proceeded to the French capital. He
entered the atelier OF Hebert, the man
whose refined and stately style was for
some years the presiding example at
the Villa Medicls In Rome. Mr. Mosler
profited by the thoughtful strain in his
master. He fixed himself in the path
to which he had grayitated from the be-
ginning, a path In which nothing was
ever thought worth doing unless II
served a serious purpose. He came back
to America with a profound dlstaste for
chic, for fragmentary and almless
sketching. He brought an equally pro-
found enthusiasm for well-pondered
compositions. In 1874 he returned to
Europe, but for some reason or other
the Partisan air was not as attractive
as before, and he became Plloty's pupil
in Munich, settling in the Bavarian city
for three years At the end of that time
his earlier feelings were revived and he
went back to Paris. He has lived in
that city, exhibiting at the Old Salon
and winning honors there, until only the
other day, when he came back to New
York.
To recapitulate here Mr.. Mosler's rec
ompenses abroad would be a dry and
useless task; but there is one honor
which 1t is necessary to mention, for ref
erence to 1t brings back the memory Of
his best work. This picture lie Re-
tour" was first shown in the Salon in
1879. The government espied 1t and pur-
chased 1t for the Luxembourg. It was
the first time an American artist had
been 80 honored The chances OF adj
mission to the anteroom OF the French
Pantheon were slight for painter from
this country. 1t was only of late years
that the policy which has admitted
Whistler, Sargent, Macmonnles, Alexan-
der Harrison, and W.T.. Dannat has been
in favor. When Mr.. Moslers picture was
purchased 1t was in recognition Of GER
tain good qualities which at all times
are rare. His art is not brilliant one,
but 1t is sound 1t is based first Of all
on the most admirable Of artistic data,
that picture should have not only the
charm Of color and personal character,
but Ineligible form, Ineligible con-
struction.
