A young man, writing to me from the Black country, informs me that "Pov- erty is relative term and depends upon the constitution of mems minds. It Is true I have always had enough to eat, and have never borrwed money or been in debt, but what of that? I feel that within me that makes me misera- ble until I have seen Niagara and St. Peters at Rome. l understand music thoroughly, theory and practice, but have never seen an opera! l want to attend the concerts in the Birmingham Town Hall, and for years have dreamed of the Festival I long to hear the great organ of St. Pauls and to attend a concert at the Albert Hall. But these are all forbidden pleasures, and this, sir, to a man like me consti- tutes poverty" And after reading his letter, strange to say. did not feel in- clined to help him.
 A very objectionable method of beg ging is that adopted by secretaries and others on behalf of various charitable institutions. Their plan is to look through the subscription lists of other charities, and to persecute the more liberal contributors. Of course this is the easiest way, but more just meth cd would be to use such lists of con- tributors for the purpose of seeing what names are absent which should be there, and then to follow such people up until they recognized their duty. Of course this method involves labor, and invites unpleasant rejoinders from persons unaccustomed to giving, but, if persevered in, it would in many cases be productive of much good by opening the hearts of many who have been con- tent hitherto to admire generosity in others, and who have never felt that there Is as much joy in giving as in getting" "Beggars" of this descrip- tion would do well to bear in mind that, although there are many who give because they feel it their duty to give, there are perhaps more who give because it is the custom or fashion to do so, and when the latter class find themselves floded with applications for money as a result of their liberality in a particular cause in which they are interested, they become disgusted and close their hearts and purses together.

Louis Felsburg Has Played Piano for

 versary Celebrated Last Evening
 Many Friends Congratulate Him. berg, the popular pianist, began jug gling the worries in New Haven. and the anniversary of his first musical work in New Haven was fittingly celebrated last evening by party which he gave to his friends. The event took place in the Dorscht lodge rooms and was attended by about thir- ty of MT. Felsburg's friends. Stewart Daniels of Dorscht lodge had prepared a toothsome spread, and after this had been we'll taken care of, the four musical comedians, s'Billie" Hege1, Ru- dolph Steinert, John Heyer and Harry Hoar, kept the guests in a roar of laughter.
 Heyer's dance was a feature of the quartet's performance, and placed a climax on the entertainment. A sword dance by Jack Gould, for whom mu- sic was furnished by the quartet, was received with rounds of applause, and Harry F1nsign's singing of Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt" was followed by another outburst of applause.
 The host of the occasion was omni- present and entertained all his guests in first class style. His brother George, also a pianist of wide reputation, ably assisted him.
 Among those present were Frank Fichtl, Milton Well, Augustus Traeger, Walter Herz, Messrs. John Schumack- CT. OBrien, Russell and Delaney of Ansonia, Robert Weber of Bridgeport MT. Sanger, MT. Clarke of the Union, Harry Ensign, Rudolph Steinert, Will liam Hegel, John Heyer, Harry Hoar and others.
 MT. Felsburg, the host, has played at the Grand opera house for about sev- enteen years, thirteen years since MT Bunnell has been in charge and four years while MT. Peck was there. He is we'll known to all New Haven mu- sicians and theater goers and has host of friends who congratulate him on his long and successful musical career.

The Latest Scientific Knowledge
 on Food and Digestion.

The real cause of most of our diseases is simply an inability to digest food. This induces thinness. weakness, loss of flesh and fat, loss of vitality, vast ing away.
 Loss of flesh and vitality means con stant liability to sickness, Wasting away is consumption.
 If getting thin is what ails you, there is only one thing to do-get fat. The only way to do it is to take something which will help your stomach and stim- ulate it to do its work. .,..
 If you are tired out you do not like to move your legs or arms. If your stom- ach is tired 1t does not like to digest; 1t cannot do its work.
 To eat, or even to eat with relish, does not necessarily, mean that one is being nourished. Strength, vitality and flesh are the true indications.
 Getting thin is sign that you need the Shaker Digestive Cordial You would not be getting thin if you could digest your food.
 The Shaker Digestive Cordial not only contains artiflcially digested food, but it will digest other foods in the stomach.
 A single ten-cent bottle will show whether or not it is going to meet the conditions of your case. and if so, its continued use may be depended on to effect a cure. All druggists keep it in stock.

SOME PECULIAR BEGGARS.

Personal Experiences of a Benevolent
 Quaker.
 Sir Richard Tangye, F. R. G. S., wri- fling on beggars in Chambers Journal, says:
 According to Charles Lamb, the began is never out of fashion; he is not required to put on court mourning. His costume hath undergone less change than the Quaker's, and he is the only man in the universe who is not required to study appearances. The ups and downs of the world and the prices of stocks and land affect him not neither do the fluctuations of az ricultural or commercial prosperity concern him, or, at the worst, but change his customers. He is not ex- pected to become bail or surety for any one; no man troubleth him with ques- tioning his religion or politics; indeed, he is the only free man in the uni verse" But "the gentle Elia'' spoke of only one class or type of beggars. Ex- perience, however, shows that beggars are of various kinds; for, as in the old days there were footpads and mounted highwaymen, so now there are beggars
 
 deed, I have known them to come on begging expeditions riding in vehicles of various kinds.
 On one occasion man rode up to my house on tricycle., and promising that l knew his father, requested me to give him money to buy horse, as he found cycling too hard work, and his doctor had ordered him to take equestrian eX- ercise.
 Another man, dressed as a gentle man, an entire stranger, sent in his card desiring to speak with me. When ] appeared he greeted me with the greatest familiarity, as though he had been an intimate acquaintance. and at once proceeded to ask me to lend him couple of pounds to take him to Lon don. Of course I declined, and. on showing him out, I found he had cab at the door, the charge for which from

On one occasion a gentleman with very Irish name asked me to help him, so that he might be able ito form an evening class for the teaching of Gaelic in Birmingham"
 An "Old Man of the Sea- once tried to get some money from me under the following circumstances. Being at Boscastle, I went on board ship and had a. little conversation with the cap- tain. Next day he sailed, and a few days after I received letter from him, in which he said he had come into col lision with a ship, causing damage to the extent of eighty pounds, Would help him, although a stranger? The ship was at Newport, so I asked my agent there to see the captain, at the same time telling him the man was a stranger to me. My agent asked the old salt why he had applied to me, hav- ing only seen me once, to which he re- piled he thought I had fork-outable sort of face.
 I have looked in the Trades Directory in vain for the business of my next cor respondent in want of assistance. Here is an extract from his letter:

 It is said that "Freedom's battle once begun" must needs be continued from sire to son, and so it seems to be with beggars; if you once yield to their so- licitations, 1t becomes very difficult to

In regard to what should or should
not be done in the way of giving. each
must decide for herself. 1t is generally
expected that all who are invited to the
ceremony and the reception should send
some gift. Too often this is done in
accordance with the reputed wealth of
the recipient, not that of the giver.
Anything more heartless than the eager
counting the value of the gift and ap-
preciating it accordingly can scarcely
be ina agined. Its influence upon char
acter cannot be ignored. A really noble
mind desires only tokens as spontane-
Gus as the affection it illustrates. How
many brides can SO regard the majority
of their gifts?
A trifle made by loving fingers ought
to be valued more highly than gems
from an Indifferent hand. Who can be
so unworldly?
