President Faure,s Wardrobs.

The president is the originator of G
new and very useful charitable insti.
tuition called the Felix Faure Ward
robe" Last June, when he visited the
large municipal pauper house at Nan
terre he ascertained that many re-
spectacle persons, who, in consequence
of misfortune, had entered that estab-
lishment, found it impossible, on leav-
ing it, to obtain employment. Such de-
serving persons had invariably, before
applying for relief, sold everything
they had possessed, even all their pre-
sentable clothes. On leaving the es-
adjustment they were consequently
clad in most tattered garments. APP
plication for work under these condi-
tions had almost invariably led to re-
fusals, the employers of labor believ-
ing the applicants to be worthless
beggars. NJ Eaure resolved to found
a fund to provide these poor people
with respectable clothes, enabling them
to obtain employment He headed the
list of subscriptions with 1000 francs,
and his example was followed by nu-
merous charitable people.-London

The craze for bicycle riding seems
to have turned" the heads of many
otherwise sensible mothers, so that 6
new schedule of propriety and woman
ly modestly and breeding seems to have
been adopted with the bicycle. Sensi-
BILE mothers never before allowed their
young daughters to wander forth IN
chaperoned for miles into the count
try with no other attendant than one
of her girl friends, as young and in
experienced as herself. On the bicy-
Gle in a comparatively short time the
children may be carried miles away
from the protection of their fathers
house and the neighbors who know
them. Therein the danger lies. The
country is full of a rowing population
and it is not safe or proper for young
persons to go so far from home It
tends to erratic habits. Even when
no greater evil follows such freedom,
it is liable to give young people a GER
tain gipsylike want of respect for con-
ventionalities, which should be re-
spected because they are the protec-
ton of society.

Clever Children.

The Church Standard wakes ihdig-
nant and severe over the common
practice of repeating in a child's pres
ence his alleged smart sayings, and
warns admiring relatives who indulge
in this, to them, agreeable occupa-
ton, of the serious consequences thai
are likely to follow.
AS matter of fact, then, when
these smart sayings" are looked at
dispassionately most of them are
found to be nothing but stupid blund-
ers, just such plumbers as a child with
it's as yet undeveloped powers would
be expected to make. OF course there
are a few prodigies in the world, but
they are not always unmixed bless
ings There is but one Mr.. Glad
stone, and-to put it mildly-he haG
made some very serious mistakes.
But let us suppose that a child hat
said something very clever, what must
be the result of repeating that saying
to somebody else when the child is by?
1t can only minister to vanity and self
and uncomfortable creatures on Gods
earth, a conceited child is the most dis
gushing and most uncomfortable. Not
only does this vicious habit make chill
dren unpleasant, but it sows in their
hearts seeds which will grow and bear
in after years the bitter fruits of dis
appointment.

for the key when you want to go to bed.

A ROLL UNDER THE CARPET.
Discovery of a Fortune Left by
Boston RecIuse.

bOstOn fecluse.
Under the carpet in the room where Isaac
H. Lewis, the Nephonset hermit who died
a month ago in Boston, lived, there were
found a few days ago bonds. deeds of prop
erty, cash, and various kinds of securities,
the total value of which is said to be over
$50, 900.
The life of Lewis was that of a recluse,
says the Boston Globe. No one was al
lowed to enter his home, and it was sell
dom that he bowed or spoke to those whom
he met on the street. Mr.. Lewis died dur
ing the big snow storm about a month ago.
He was alone when he died. His ~neighbors
even didn't know he was i'll. He had been
dead several days when his body was dis
covered.
The police searched the house previous to
the burial for money enough to pay the eX-
penses. All that was found was SIS, which
was sewed in the lining of the old mans
vest. The first evidence of wealth was dis
covered when, after his death, a deed for a
big tract of land at Mount Bowdoin station
was discovered in the house. The land is
worth in the neighborhood Of 10000. 1t
was known also that he owned the house
in which he had lived for nearly a quarter OF
a century. This is worth probably $4,000.
w. Fl. Fl. Moore, Lewis son-in-law, presi-
dent of a big insurance company in New
York, with Lewis son, who holds a re-
sponsible position in a railroad company at
Chicago, came to Boston after the death of
the Did man. Both were convinced that the
old man had property hidden somewhere.
They inclined to the theory that he had the
property in a safe deposit vault.
A careful search failed to disclose 1t.
Every safe deposit vault in the city was
applied to, but none of them had any OF
Lewis property. The savings banks were
also visited, hut, search as they might, the
men could not get any trace of the hidden
wealth. Then they concluded that perhaps
the property was concealed about the house
Of the hermit.
A party of men was employed to dig up
the cellar OF the house. This was done very
carefully, and every square inch Of the
ground was overhauled to a considerable
depth. The search disclosed nothing, Still
the relatives of the dead miser were not
satisfied. They continued to look over the
house, and finally took to looking into the
walls and then under the floors.
Then, it is stated, the box containing the
yaluables was found. The wealth was nearly
all in United States bonds and interest
bearing documents worth, at a conservative
estimate, $50. 900. The exact amount will
not be disclosed. A good deal of secrecy
is maintained by the authorities at the
request of the relatives.
No trace of a will has beer found. A
thorough search has been made for It, aud
IL is believed that the man died without
making one. He was 81 years old, and In his
younger days he had been a merchant In
New York. Some financial difficulties over
took him, and he was confined IN an asylum
for a couple of years. When he obtained
his release from that institution he turned
his back on his home and family.

INSANITY OF ENGLISH PEOPLE.
One Person i'm Every 300 Inhabitants
I'm Great Britain D~emented.

IN TRENT bFituih Dementeu.
Prof, ]. Holt Schooling, fellow of the Royal
Statistical Society of Great Britain, has just
completed a very interesting investigation
by which he has been enabled to show some
curious facts relative to the insanity of the
British people. He tells how many persons
go mad and why they do so. He declares
that one person in every 306 OF the popula-
ton of Britain is a maniac and that that
ratio promises to increase.
The results of Prof. Schooling's mathe-
NAUTICAL calculation, boiled down into sue
cinct facts, show that In every 10000 Of the
English and Welsh population, 31.4 people
are l~unatics. In every 10000 Of the Scotch
population, 1916 people are l~unatics. In every
10000 Of the Irish population 40.3 people
arc l~unatics.
Entering into the causes as to why men go
mad, Prof. Schooling strikes a mighty blow
for the cause OF temperance when he makes
the statement. solely inspired by his investi-
cations and the accurate results thereof,
that drink. liquor, sends mac nearly one
third OF all the persons who become insane
in Great Britain from thu eight leading caus rs
OF insanity in that territory.
He places these eight principal causes OF
insanity and the percentage OF each as re-
CARDS every hundred of lunaties as follows.
| Drink, 1856; domestic troubles, l5.l; mental
anxiety, 1874; old age, 1872; adverse clrcum-
| stances, 10; accidents, 6.5; religious excite
ment, 4; love affairs, 3.2.

Everybody had told of some preposterous

listened. There was a moment or two OF
quiet after the last story, and the old salt
spoke up. Never he-erd o. civil service

The old salt pulled at his pipe and gave
the wheel a couple of twists. Everybody
was silent. The old salt pulled a full minute
before he said a word. Then he asked:
'D'ye know what | said to emp" He took
two more puffs and made some remarks
about the wind and the possibility of reach
ing the city in two hours. Finally he asked
again: "D'ye know what | said to emp"
