bat the arguments of friends of the bill,
 who contend that chlld-insurance is an
 incentive to crime. One of the latter,
 Miss Lucy P. Atwood of the Society for
 the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
 said that she had found families where
 the children were deprived of the most
 ordinary neeassaries of life, while the
 money for the insurance of dying child was set aside awaiting the call of
 the agent. She knew of a case where
 the money received for the death of a
 child was spent in unnecessary display at the funeral, and she could not induce the parents to divert a cent of 1t to the
 purchase of food for other children who
 were suffering for the want of it and
 were receiving charity She told of mother who while one child lay dead,
 was lamentlng that two younger ones and her consumptive husband had not been taken instead, because they were all insured and were pot wase-earners, while the dead one was. A girl fourteen years old, so emaciated that the witness could span any part of her arm with the fingers of one hand, was taken. away by the society from her parents to prevent them from starving her to death, and 1t was subsequently, discovered that her life was insured, and the witness be- lieved that she was being murdered to secure the insurance money. This sys- tenn, said Miss Atwood, results in chill dren being deprived of the necessaries of life to secure money at their death. They are thus compelled to pay for their own funerals. Charles c. Reed, counsel of the same society, wanted to know who was benefited by such an in- surance investment. Not the child, he said, flor it Is half starved during it's brief life, and can receive nothing when it is dead. Not the parents, for after depriving themselves of the neces- saries of life they get nothing but a white coffin and hearse. But it is the insurance companies doing business in palatial buildings, that make large sums of money for themselves and agents out of this method of extorting money from the poorest classes of peo- pie"
 Of course the insurance companies | had their argument all ready, They | represented that the mortality among | insured children Is, less than among those who are not insured that | the average policy upon the life of a child less than ten year old is not more than would pay the expenses incident to a funeral, and that people from all classes in all parts of the country take advantage of the system.

 The faith and affections of M. Febvre are very strongly pinned to the old school. He believes thoroughly in the old dramatic art, and he cannot under stand that modern conditions should be allowed to effect the Muses As he says, more or less directly, he is down on telephones and modern science for the evil they have done in increasing the value of time. He in9eniously illus trates this feeling of his by the follow ing aneedote:
 "One night while was off duty took

 What can you do with such man as that?" asks M. Febvre. "He wants to catch a train. Probably an express train.

He must catch a trainl Edison forever, and the duece take aesthetics!"
 Then M. Febvre sighed, and added "But it was all different III the old days. I remember that Dumas told me that on the night his first play was pro- duced two gentlemen had a difference of opinion just before the rise of the curtain. They had slapped each others faces, but they waited until the end of the third act before they asked for ex- plantations. Nowadays, I suppose, they would have immediately gone outside to fight a duel with electric Calling guns!'

MOON MYTHS.

The Satellite an Object of Worship and su-
 perstition in Nearly All Nations.
 [From All the Year Round.l
 The moon has been worshipped among nearly all the nations of the world from time immemorial; indeed, her cult has been asserted to be much older estab- llshed than sun worship. The Peruvian peasant hurries home out of the cold moonshine, afraid of the stern eyes of Mama Quilla and the Egyptian fellah lounges across the sands where the sphinx's shadow lies black at his feet, with a prayer on his lips or in his heart to Thoth-Thoth the master of wisdom, the lord of the ibis, in whose absence the fair land of Khem has been brought down very low. Swabian girls still re- fuse to spin by moonlight, Hest they should anger Her" they say vaguely; and in Germany children firmly believe in Horsel or Holda, whose boat is the moon, whose flower is the flax and whose delight is to reward industrious little maldens. Dante makes the man in the moon Cain; in Egypt heds Horus; hGlu lO lllG bIGd6l Ol ISlSI HIS ulOluSI and the moon In Rantum the man in the moon is a giant, who at flowing tide stops to pour water on the earth and at ebb tide stands upright in order that the waters may subside.
 A curious eastern fancy is that the figure in the moon Is that of the pat tern wife, Ina, who weaves the clouds into white cloth, and who, after the lapse of many years, sent her mortal husband back to earth by the rainbow bridge in order that death might not deflle her heavenly home. The eat and the panther are both connected with the moon in some vague, occult fashion; in- deed, in Australia the moon is repre- sented as a native cat and also in Egypt. In China the Celestials say that there is a frog in the moon, Q metamor- phosed beauty called Change.

Stripes for stuffs and Gems for Trim
 Inings.
 The newest goods run much to striped effects. Muslins that are in accord with this style can be much enhanced by laying bright ribbon along every third or fourth stripe. Cheap ribbon will suffice if a pretty effect for only Q few wearings is wanted. But she who is wise will select an all-sdlk ribbon in a good strong silk. In which case the muslin, ribbon and all can go to the wash as often as necessary.
 When, in the search for stuffs the striped failles are reached all need of tricks like that just described for in- creasing the beauty of the goods is left far behind. Proof of it is given in this illustration which portrays a dress of white fadlle striped with pale green. The front breadth of the wide godet skirt is bordered on each side with lace scarfs ending in bows fastened near the hem with chrysanthemums. The bod ice is draped with point lace fichu

whose achievements mark an epoch in our literary history.
 In a certain sense Boston has indeed ceased to be the literary and art cen ter of the country. The reason for this is patent. But in another, and perhaps a better sense, Boston remains a whole some eXemplar of the noble results of popular education. Its public library has just been placed in it's new home. This home is one of the beautiful orna- ments of the finest city square in the country. In some respects there is no feature of any city in the world. finer than this. Facing the beautiful library building is Riehardsons great monu- ment-I1inlty church. On a third side of the square is the Art Museum. The Public Library building has been said to be the most impressive structure of it's kind in the world. It is embellislhed by the work of St, Gaudens, and is to be still further adorned by a, series of paintings by MT. Abbey These paint ings have aroused the enthusiastic ad- miration of the artists and critics of London, where they have been exhibi- ted. The kindred arts have lent their aid to make this home of books worthy of its purpose. The hundreds of thou sands of volumes are now on the shelves all of them accessible to the citizens of Boston. With the exception of some special libraries that must be consulted at the library, these books may be taken out by the people and read at their homes. It is a free library in the best and fullest sense.

 At the shoulders there are full sprays of vari-colored chrysanthemums.
 These rhinestone buckles and orna- ments are still quite correct. Indeed
 so brilliant are many of these stones and so accustomed is the public grown to the sight of rhinestone and paste worn with al1 the confidence, that only real diamonds used to inspire that many a dame possessing only a modest array of the genuine thing, gains credit for having a big store of gems by judi cious mixing of paste with the real. So long as she resists the impulse to pass very big mock stones for diamonds she may be suspected by her dearest friend, without being caught. The frivolous child of operatic or theatric fortune who astonishes her public by a display of all her jewels at once, sets the fash ion for many society danes whose own good taste does not forbid, and now it is more usual than it should be for a woman attired in high necked and long sleeved reception dress to make her gown a, blaze of gems.

THE o1D NAMEs FoBErER.


 THE OLD NAMES FORETER.
 We have been and always shall be
 in hearty sympathy with any attempt
 to bridge the chasm between Hillhouse avenue and Oak street, but we do not and cannot sympathize with any at- tempt to make Congress avenue into Whitney avenue or Whitney avenue into Congress avenue. We do not pay any attention to the snobbishness which some of the Whitney avenuers" display in discussing the matter. It is ridicu- lous and there is no argument in it. | There is some force in the idea that the three streets now really joined to- | gether, but separated in their names, should have but one name. This is all that can be said in favor of the pro- overwhelming reasons. Firstly, as the preachers say, nobody is inconvenienced by the present arrangement. People who live or do business on Congress avenue, Church street or Whitney ave- nue know where they are, and they can easily be found if they are where the directory says they are. They don't need to have the number of their houses changed or the name of their street or avenue changed. There is no demand for such a change, and the attempt to make it appear that there is is surpris- ingly preposterous. If such a change should be made it would take ten years and perhaps twenty to straighten out all the confusion that would be caused by 1t and to wean people from the old familiar names. And when that had been done what would be gained? Moth ing. And much would have been lost. Is this town ready to let historic old Church street become Congress or Whit ney avenue? No indeed! One doesn't need to be town born to wish to avoid the curse that is in or lights on those Haven cannot spare any of the old street names tihlat are associated with it's early history and that are full of interesting meanings and memories. The desire for changes that would blot them out is not healthy Church street must stay Church street as long as New Haven has a history and in- habitants worthy of living in a city 1 that is historical. Whitney avenue has a meaning. It commemorates one of the great wonder-w workers of the I world-a man whose marvellous mind | revolutionized the cotton industry and | is still marching on. We do not know just what Congress avenue does mean. Perhaps the name was adopted when | Congress was better thought of than it is now. We do mot suppose that when it was adopted anybody foresaw the of all nations that would gather there and make the name ap- in that way But Congress avenue it is and Congress avenue 1t should stay. It Hlhs no claim, either in fact or i'm imagination, to over- run historic old Church street or the appropriately commemorative Whitney avenue. And mo good reason can be given why Whitney avenue should 1isplace historic old Church street and wipe out cosmopolitan Congress ave- nue.
 which is worthily memorable, and { make an unnecessary one 1f noble and historic trinity. Be ye own-born or otherwise, ye are on the wrong track.

Private oyster beds in the upper Vir- ginia waters of the Chesapeake have been successfully protected against oyster thieves by a simple but in genious device. The owner of the beds, sixteen acres in area, crossed them in two directions with five-eighth-inch wire secured to posts at the point of intersection. Both wires and posts are invisible, even at low tide. The oyster pirate that attacks the beds is sure, sooner or later, to lose his dredge by having it entangled in the wire, and thefts are rare.

The hve-cent eating-houseS which were established in Boston to alleviate distress during the hard times of last winter have proved a financial success. The shoe does not pinch so much now as when these cheap restaurants were started, and their existence at the pres ent time is due mainly to the fact that they are profitable. In the end of De- cember, 1893, Messrs. F. R. Cordley, H. c. Young, and D. B. Field, purely from philanthropic motives, opened such an eating-house on Kneeland street. A meat-stew, four pieces of bread and a cup of tea or coffee were supplied to each patron for five cents Twenty seven meals were set before as many hungry men the first day, but as soon as the impression that the undertaking was not merely charitable gave way to the positive hunger and need of the un- employed, the restaurant was well pat ronized and as many as 1000 meals a day were served. The total for the sea- son rose to 9S,9OO. In short time the projectors found that there was profit of $30 a week in the business. After a while beans and a boiled dinner were added to the bill of fare, and the price of meals was even reduced to three cents, When the stress of hard times passed away, the restaurant was trans ferred to other parties who had no be- nevolent impulse in taking up the busi- ness

A smart lawyer in Baltimore the other day asked witness, an old lady, If she thought people would have teeth in Heaven. She said she could not answer that definitely, but she thought they would. One thing is certain, she added: "People will have teeth in the place allotted to the wicked, and can prove it by Scripture" "How can you prove it" said the lawyer. Why she replied, "the Scripture says the wicked shall be turned into utter dark ness, where there shall be weeping, vail ing and gnashing of teeth, and how could they gnash their teeth if they did not have any?' The attorney did not proceed any further on that line of examination.

A man named John L. Gill died in Columbus, Ohio, the other day, at the advanced age of ninety, who was the originator of the immense coal busi- ness of that state. In the year 1927 or 1928 he took four six-horse wagon loads of stoves to Athens, and on the trip saw a blacksmith using coal. Inquiry developed that the coal was dug from the Athens hills. The blacksmith was induced to dig sufficient coal to load the teams on their return trip. On arrival in Columbus the coal was sold at 60 cents a bushel, $15 per ton, and used for blacksmithing purposes in connection with the stage coach line. This was the first coal ever carried
