DON'T Crowd.

Don't crowd! this world is large enough
For you as well as me-
The doors of art are open wide,
The realm of thought is free;
OF all earth's places you are right
To choose the best you can,
Provided that you do not try
To crowd some other man.
What matter though you scarce can count
Your piles of golden ore
While he can hardly strive to keep
Gaunt famine from the door?
OF willing hands and honest hearts
Alone should men be proud!
Then give him all the room he needs,
And never try to crowd.
Don't crowd proud miss! your dainty silk
VIII glisten none the less
Because 1t comes In contact with
beggar's tattered dress;
This lovely world was never made
For you and me alone;
A pauper has right to tread
The pathway to Il throne.
Don't crowd the good from out your heart
BY fostering all that's bad,
But give to every virtue room
The best that may be had;
Be each days record such a one
That you may well be proud:
Give each his right, give each his room,
And never try to crowd.

the project, A speedy result was the
erection by the city OF five fountains in
that season. These found such public
favor that six more We're added in 1896,
and the maintenance of the fountain
erected by the temperance union was
also assumed by the city. This year.
in response to the urgent requests of
citizens, six additional fountains have
been established. Cool water is furn-
ished, the supply passing through coil
pipes in an ice chamber, The expense
is not stated, but it must be consider
able. The cost of building and main
tanning for year the first fountain es-
tablished was over $500, more than forty
tons of Ice being used.

KINDNESS TO BEAUTIFUL BIRDS.

Woman-bless her kind heart!-con-
tinues to do what she can to improve
the condition of the beautiful birds by
giving them a place in her crown of
glory. To be sure, the birds have to
die to get into the crown but they
ought not to and probably do not mind
little thing like that. A man sta
toned himself on Broadway the other
afternoon and noticed seven hundred
hats, on which he saw: Robins, FOUR
brown thrush, one; bluebirds, three;
blackburnian warbler, one; blackpoll
warblers, three; Wilson's black-capped
flycatchers, three; scarlet tanagers,
hemian waxwing, one; waxwings.
twenty three; great northern shrike,
one; pine grosbeak, one; snow bunt-
ings, fifteen; tree sparrows, two; white
throated sparrow, one; bobolink, one;
meadow larks, two; Baltimore orioles,
nine; purple graclSles, FIVE; bluejays,
live; swallow tailed flycatcher, one;
kingbird, one; klngfsher, one; pileated
woodpecker one; red headed wood
peckers. two; golden winged woodpeck-
ers, twenty-one; Acadlan owl, one;
Carolina dove, one; quail sixteen; he'll
met quail, two; sanderlings, five; big
yellowlegs, one; green heron, one; Vir-
ginia rail, one; laughing gull, one; COM
mon terms, twenty-one; black tern, one;
grebes, seven.
When lovely and gentle Woman goes
to Heaven perhaps she will demand
that countless angels be slain to fur
nish pretty wings and things to trim
her heavenly hats with.

more than once, This is reasonable
figure When Augustus had organized
the public service, and ascertained pre-
cisely what the receipts and expenses
of the empire might be, he found that
the annual income was about &4O,O0O,-
600, and he declared that 1t left very
small balance ''to the good" But
Caesar had private resources for any
extravaganza he might fancy.
Augustus was no tyrant, but people
reckoned that during his lifetime he re-
ceived no less than GS2 100000 by legacy
from friends. The savings of Tiberius
amounted to 221,500,00O, which again
is reasonable. Caligula spent all this
in a twelvemonth, Some private for
tunes may be given: Crassus had about
e1 100000 in cash, and lands to the
same value; Seneca, e2,450,000; Len
tulus, the Augar, 93,250,0O0. When the
villa of Marcus Scaurus was burned,
they said that he lost over 9S0O,00O.
Julius Caesar declared after the expen-
SEES of the praetorship that he was worth
&2, 900 less than nothing
that sum, with no assets. Upon the
other hand, the latest authority who
has pondered this interesting question,
NJ. Obreschkoff, concludes that all the
money in use at the beginning of our
era was about 5000, 100000 in gold and
e546, 900 900 in silver. At that rate
Darius Codomanus must have two
thirds of it in his own hands. This is
not so grossly improbable as 1t seems.
His predecessor had sucked all the
universe worth sucking. And curious
evidence might be given of the excess
sive rarity of gold in Greece.

INITIATIVE IND REFERENDUM


The initiative and referendum are
good words, as has been proven by
their sonorous use by those who do not
know much about their meaning and
by the strong impression they have
made when SO used on those who know
still less. The initiative and referendum
system is going to be tried in Nebraska
and perhaps it will soon be easy to
learn something about it. Two-t thirds
of the voters of a locality must accept
the plan before it becomes a law of
politics, and Omaha will be the first
city to submit the question at a special
election shortly to be held. If the rule
Is adopted then fifteen per cent. of the
voters may thereafter by petition pro-
pose ordinances, and twenty per cent
Of the voters may compel the city gov
eminent to submit proposed ordinances
to vote of the people So far the in
itiative, so called. For the referen-
dunn it is provided that ordinances
passed by the city council shall not go
into effect for thirty days, and if in the
mean time five per cent of the voters
petition for the submission of any or
dinance to popular vote the same shall
be submitted, and must be approved by
a majority to come into effect If ten
per cent of the voters petition, then
the ordinance shall be submitted at a
special election held within twenty
days. Ordinances relating to the i'm
mediate preservation Of the public
peace and health, and items of appro-
priations for current expenses not in
excess of those made the previous year,
are excepted from the referendum rule.
If the initiative and referendum go in
Nebraska it is to be hoped that some
body in New Haven will favor US with
paper on them They are two too
good words not to be made the subject
! of a paper" in New Haven.

the evening. Many women wear a
shirt waist and duck skirt from i'm
mediately after breakfast till they
change for dinner the dinner gown
serving for the evening. For evening,
taffetas, organdies and dotted muslins
are in the lead of everything else.
The afternoon dress presented here
with is not only picturesque, but it's
design includes several novel features.
The skirt was white cloth and had mar
row inserted points of cream lace at
the top that were crossed by three
bows of violet satin ribbon The bod
Ice had white taffeta lining and was
then covered with tucked white silk
MULE. 1t was completed by a bolero
of embroidered linen whose edges We're
caught with other violet satin bows,
the same satin giving collar and belt.
Awhile hat covered with white plumes
was the picturesque bit of headgear
chosen to accompany this gown.
There Is nothing especially new in
riding habits Skirts are short and
squared off, for all but formal riding a
shirt waist is permitted, and the cloth
bodice is cut either position fashion or
with short point front and back A
linen collar and just dash of shirt
front show at the throat. Some swag-
ger habits are made with Jacket and
waist-coat, the latter in bright color or
white pique, but the habit that follows
most severely the lines Of the figure is
again being recognized the right thing.
Very suitable and correct habits are
turned out of linen and crash, but such
are not suitable for long rides. A few
drops of rain will surely ruin the APP
pearance of linen costume Riding
trousers are worn with low-heeled elias
tic leather shoes, rather than the more
picturesque but not so safe high boots.

The Enormous Sums Accumulated
and Spent by Early Potentates.
1t would be polite fiction to assert
that everybody who looks upon the
great monuments of antiquity, the
Pyramids or the Coliseum for example
thinks of the cost, and wonders where
the money came from. But when, by
chance, a learned person suggests the
inquiry, only an idiot, says the London
Standard, fails to be struck for a
moment. 1t is so curious that while
modern states, with all the accumulated
wealth of the antique world at their
back. and the treasures of Mexico,
California, Australia and the Transvaal
in addition, have to consider ways and

The Canadian banking system has
been thoroughly investigated by Philip
B. Spence, United States consul at
Quebec, who has made a report on the
same to the state department with some
suggestions for currency reform in this
country, that 1t may reach that perfec-
ton which he thinks Canada has at
tanned by her system. After giving all
the details needed for a perfect under
standing of how the Canadian system
works, Mr.. Spence says: A glance at
the Canadian currency system shows
that each chartered bank has the pow
er to issue notes of the denomination
of S. and multiples thereof for circula-
ton as money, which they may not is
sue in excess of the unimpaired, paid
I'D capital stock. The notes are redeem
able at par at various points
throughout the country The elasticity
of the Canadian currency is shown by
its adapting itself perfectly to the trade
and other requirements. The numerous
branches of the thirty-seven banks are
scattered, and as there is no inducement
to hoard notes, they find their way
back to the banks that issue them. The
currency GIBBS and flows with the COM
mercial tide.

for Costa RIGA, has begun work on
three hundred thousand silver dol
lars for San Domingo The designs
on the coins are often ideas of the gov
ernments which send the orders, and
are got UP in such way as to make
limitations as difficult as possible for
the counterfeiter. The coin is shipped
in bags to New York, where it is car
ried to its destination on the regular

mint as to the amount of precious met
al used is never questioned by the for
eigners."

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
THE MERIT SYSTEM.

On December 81, 1894, the United
States Civil Service Commission, of
which Theodore Roosevelt and Charles
Lyman, Republicans, were a majority,
wrote as follows to the president re-
garding the proposition to put the coll
lectors of internal revenue under the
merit system:
we beg to add that, after a full and
careful consultation with internal reve-
nue. officers who are especially familiar
with the needs of the service, our con-
viction is strongly confirmed that moth
ing would so much tend to benefit the
internal revenue service as the classi-
fication of the deputies. Should there
be a change of administration while the
internal revenue force is classified as
at present, the most important and
most attractive places in the service
will still be left to be distributed ac-
cording 10 the dictates of partisan greed
or personal corruption. The pressure
for places in the internal revenue SER
vice will all be concentrated upon these
deputies, and a clean sweep would be
made; and when clean sweep is made
in one part the remaining force is GER
tain to be demoralized. and may be
largely changed"
Should Mr. Mckinley take the depu-
ties out from the merit system, the
most important and most attractive
places in the service will be distributed
according to the dictates Of partisan
greed or personal corruption" That,
indeed, would be the only object OF the
change. York Times.

Solar and Lunar Attraction Har-
messed in a Small Way.
Various plans have been suggested
at different times for the utilization
of the energy developed by the rise and
fall of the tides, but the intermittent
character of the power has usually pre-
vented any satisfactory solution OF the
problem. There is, however, one in
stance in which tide power has been
quite successfully applied in very sim
ple manner. Along the river front at
LIVERPOOL there is a tendency for the
accumulation of all silt against the
dock walls, requiring occasional dredg-
ing for its removal. Instead of using
scoop dredges, this mud is removed at
different periods by the use of tide
power in the following manner:
Along the base of the dock walls is
laid a pipe, perforated with holes, di-
rected outward, this pipe being con-
nected with the interior of the dock sys-
tenn, and suitable valves being provided
to permit or check the flow of water.
When the tide is very low, and conse-
uuently the head of water measured
from the surface in the docks is at its
greatest, sudden opening of the con-
nection permits rapid flushing action
of the water escaping through holes in
the pipe at the base of the walls, scour-
ing out the mud and driving it out into
the river TO be carried away. As the
tides at Liverpool average about %
feet or more, it is evident that this sim
/ ple form of dredging apparatus may be
very effective, and as the time chosen
for using it may be selected when the
supply of water is greatest. it does not
interfere with the regular use OF the
docks. Ultimately economical forms
of power storage will render the equal
ization of tide power commercially
practicable. but at the present time this
example serves to demonstrate the fact
that solar and lunar attraction, as ex-
pressed by the tides. have been har-
messed in a small way at least.-Cas.
sier's Magazine.
