it is absolutely without purpose. No

it only that he may get it. What will
you make of what you have got?' you
ask. "Well, I'll get more, +" he says.
Just as at cricket you get more runs.
There's no use in the runs, but to get
more of them than other people is the
game. And there's no use in the money,
but to have more of it than other peo-
pie is the game. So all that great foul

GIassow's Family Homes.

Among the many new things started
by the Glasgow corporation Is fam
lily home" 1t is intended mainly for
widowers and widows who go out to
work. There are one hundred bed
rooms, each of which contains a good
bed for the father or mother and a
broad cot for the younger children.
For these rooms the parents pay five
shilling six pence week, and that
sum includes the lighting, heating and
cleaning of them. Clean linen Is sup
piled once week. In the home, also,
there are dining, recreation and nurs-
cry rooms. The children are looked
after and cared for while the parents
are at work for an infiniteslmal sum.
The cooking, washing and bathing ar
rangements are excellent, and as the
thing is done on large scale and eco
nomically arranged the establishment
is expected to pay for itself. Glasgow

In 1886. when Lowell was a sopho-
more, Mr. Longfellow came 20 Cam
bridge. young man. to begin his long
and valuable life in the college. His
presence there proved a benediction
and, might say, marks an epoch in the
history of Harvard. In the first place,
he was fresh from Europe, and be gave
the best possible stimulus 20 the bud
ding interest in German literature. In
the second place, he came from Bow
doin college, and in those days it was a
very good thing for a Harvard under
graduate to know that there were peo-
pie not bred in Cambridge quite as well
read, as intelligent, as elegant and ae-
complished as any Harvard graduate.
In the third place, Longfellow, though
ne was so young, ranked already dis
tinctly as a man of letters.
This was no broken winded minister
who had been made professor. He wal
not a lawyer without clients or a doe
tor without patients, for whom "a
place" had TO be found. He was already
known as a poet by all educated people

Almost everybody has observed the
strange characteristic Of the water lily
bud opening its petals at sunrise and
closing them again at sunset. 1t was
for this reason mainly that the ancients
held the water lily sacred to the sun
Pliny says: 1T is reported that in the
Euphrates the flower Of the lotus plunges
into the water at night, remaining there
till midnight, and to such depth that
it cannot be reached with the hand.
After midnight it begins gradually to
rise, and as the sun rises above the
horizon the flower also rises above the
water, expands and raises itself some
distance above the element in which it
grows" 1t was also through this Pc

the Egyptians considered the lily an
emblem of the world as it rose from the

promoted for Gallantry.

Hon. Theodore Roosevelt writes an
article entitled THE Roll of Honor of
the New York Police" for the Century.
Mr.. Roosevelt says:
Early In our term we promoted pa
trolman to the grade Of roundsman for
activity In catching burglar under
rather peculiar circumstances. l hap
pened to note his getting a burglar one
week. Apparently he had fallen into
the habit, for he got another the next
week. In the latter case the burglar
escaped from the house soon after
midnight, and ran away towards Park
avenue, with the policeman in hot
chase. The New York Central Rail-
road runs under Park avenue, and
there are succession of openings in
the top Of the tunnel. Finding that the
policeman was gaining on him, the bur
glar took desperate chance, and leap
ed down one Of these openings, at the
risk of breaking his neck. Now the
burglar was running for his liberty
and 1t was the part of wisdom FOR him
to imperil life or limb; but the police
man was merely doing his duty, and
nobody could have blamed him for moi
taking the jump. However, he jump

of the Lord was heavy upon the un
righteous. The burglar had the breath
knocked out of him, and the cop
didn't, When his victim could wall

Daring the seventeenth century the
druggist came TO America and closely
followed English precedents, modifying
them, however, by the practice Of the
Indians with whom he came in contact.
Quack apothecaries began to spring up
In the new land, and in 1886 the colo
ny Of Virginia passed a law which
among other things regulated the prices
and fees of the druggist. At this time
II was fashionable for the druggists TO
practice surgery in addition to pharma-
ey, and the Virginia colony contained
large number Of people who were prof
cient in both professions. In Massachu-
sets the business was largely in the
hands of Indians, schoolmasters, old
women and teachers. The Salem witch
craft delusion retarded the spread of the
druggist for some time in the Bay State,
for the popular impression fastened on
the apothecaries suspicion that they
sold the potions that were supposed to
produce the spells. Among those who
suffered persecution at this time mixers
of medicine appear TO have been promi-
nent.
The drug shop had not yet become a
distinct institution. 1t was usually a
branch Of the grocery or spice business.
In lG4i one Giles Forman of Boston
had, however, firmly established him
self as devoting special attention tc
pharmacy. In 1916 the first distinctive
drug store in America was opened IN
Boston by William Davies. No doubt
more reliance was placed ON drugs theI
than now, when people are beginning
to recognize the large part that fresh
air, dieteties and other hygienic meas
ures play in the successful treatment o.
disease. -Lippincott's Magazine.
