NOT THE SAME ERE,

England Is an old country and things have had chance to get ripe there. Possibly some things have had a chance to get little overripe. So it is not extremely surprising to read that one who is thoroughly acquainted with English Society thinks that it is not Just what it should be. Lord Charles Beresford asserts that money is the sure open sesame to the best society in Great Britain to-day, and that 1t makes no particular difference whether the money was obtained honorably or otherwise.
 This is a sad state of affairs. How different in our own young and still growing country. Here Society is so- ciety, and nothing counts in it but brains, character and culture. Money is not worshipped here, and if anybody with money seeks to enter Society the source of the money is carefully sought and if 1t isn't all right the money isn't allowed to jingle and shine in Society. All the money that is In Society in this country is good money. and 1t Is good to think that Society here has not sunk to the level of Society in England.

THREE DAYS TO EUROPE

Time is money, In some cases. and
 notwithstanding the constantly de-
 creasing time of a voyage across the Atlantic those to whom time is money are not satisfied There is demand for still closer connections between the old world and the new. Partly to meet this demand, but chiefly in the interest of Canadian trade and commerce. the Canadian government has planned for considerable shortening of time be- tween England and America. The do- minion government, beginning in 1898, will give an annual subsidy of $500, 900 for ten years and the British govern- ment 8 still further bonus of s250 900 per year to steamship company which is to send across the Atlantic vessels of the highest standard with a speed guar anty of 300 knots in twenty-four hours, the company to forfeit s1,0o0 for every failure to make voyage under the prescribed conditions. The great east ern projection of the American conti- nent into the Atlantic is also to be util- ized in shortening the voyage, thus sav- ing one thousand miles over the route from New York to Liverpool and easily reducing the time of an ocean voyage to four days. Should the eastern coast of Newfoundland eventually become the point of departure for Europe this will knock off another five hundred miles of ocean voyage, making a possi- bility of transatlantic trip to three days from Newfoundland to Cork.
 Three days of seasickness instead of six will make a great difference to many.

MR. sHEP4 RD,s SINKING FUND.

Brother Shepard of the Court of Con- journalist" than some have thought He has several of the most pronounced symptoms of the disease. He knows that his city paper would satisfy a long felt want. He knows that the people would tumble over each other to sup port it. He knows that the expenses needn't be. much considered and he knows that the profits would be imme- diate and great. Such is his faith that he even believes that his paper would provide the city with money enough to establish sinking fund that would go indebtedness of the city
 If this isn't true journalistic inspira- ton we don't know what is. Such faith, hope and persistence as his are familiar to the old-timers in newspaper work who have seen numerous papers started and supported by them. Brother Shepard is all right If there is a bit too much enthusiasm in him it shows itself In his sinking fund idea. There is no doubt that his paper would result in a sinking fund, but without wishing to say anything that would dim faith or decrease hope we feel bound to gent ly hint that it might not be just the kind of sinking fund his glowing im- agination has constructed. Many papers started with the true journalis- tic ideas that possess him have large sinking funds,

The argument in favor of having Lake Whitney wide open" seems to be about this: The water is so vile that 1t Is not fit to drink, use in the prepara- ton of food or to wash with. Let us make 1t still viler by allowing every. body to have fun in or on it.
 To this sound and forcible reasoning might we'll be added the assertion that those whose health Is endangered by the use of the water are we'll and sensi. ply entitled to make the water still more dangerous to themselves and oth- CTS by having such fun with it as may please them.
 It should also be said that real dirty water Is more desirable than moder- ately dirty water. Then the argument in favor of wide-openness would be complete and unanswerable.

work of the women who receive the torn and tattered pieces of paper, that may have been chewed by rats or passed through a coffee grinder, and restore them to their original condition. It seems impossible that human hands can do such work, but 1t Is hardly an exaggeration to say that bills so torn
 that they could be passed through coarse sieve have been made whole again.
 The women most expert in the work are Mrs. l.. F. Brown and Mrs. Lydia Rosenberg, and the specimens of their skill that will be placed in Treasurer Roberts exhibit case will indeed aston ish the natives. One bill that was torn into five hundred pieces was put into it's original shape with not scrap of the paper missing.

if he were not ashamed of his calling and were proud of the queens uniform. And, walking arm in arm with him, or with a bluejacket from the harbor, went the heavy artillery man, clanking along the narrow pavement with sabre and spurs, gaudy in red and yellow trap pings, and comical with his pill-box cap set at thrilling angle. The first hour of this sort of thing affected us much as if we had strayed into an opera bouffe rehearsal (and the Halifax houses helped out the illusion, for they look like old scenery); but after while we grew accustomed to all this scarlet and gold, and soon did not even turn our heads when we passed pompous ser geant with his brilliant chevrons and purple sash.-From -Four for a For tune" in Harper's Round Table.

HALIFAx.

We arrived at Halifax on the 24th of July and my first impressions of the city are still somewhat confused They consist mainly of a swarm of bowling hackmen, and of a long, narrow street that runs apparently straight up into the air. the houses on either side cling ing to the idewalks by some incompre- hensible evasion of the laws of gravity doubtless peculiar to the locality. We struggled up this painfully steep street, Chiffard bending under the weight of our valises (which were certainly not included in the dispensation that seemed to favor the houses), and found our way to a comfortable hostelry where we rested and were refreshed. Our Frenchmen we sent to a. humble lodging. Rid of their encumbrance we breathed more easily, and set out to walk about the town in quest of such knowledge as the Nova Scotians might have to offer.
 It was early afternoon, and the streets were thronged-so many soldiers had not seen in one day for years--and in our delight over the novelty of the sights of a foreign city we set our hopes and anxieties momentarily behind us, and enjoyed life to it's fullest extent. Thatcher especially seemed to delight in the red coats and the pacing sen- tries, and he kept impressing upon me that these were genuine soldiers-his antipathy being the militia. We met MT. Tommy Atkins on every block, and a fine-looking fellow he was--with his clear complexion, his broad shoulders well displayed in his scarlet tunic. his lozenge-shaped Scotch cap cooked jauntily over his right ear, and his short bamboo swagger-cane swinging loosely in his gloved hand! He looked neat and clean too, and bore himself as

matching that on the skirt. For belt there was brown satin ribbon tied to- ward the right side in a double bow.
 This double bow effect is met with in every sort of ornamentation. In jewell ry, the four-leaf clover enclosed be- tween two disks of crystal, the disks pound together by band of gold, has become almost common. A still dain- tier form is disk of solid thin gold, four leaf clover being set into the cerl- ter of the disk. The clover is made of transparent enamel and the light shines through with charming green effect. Garter buckles are in clover design so are belt buckles; indeed, it is whisper ed that belt and garters come In sets.
 Silver trtnkets offered as Christmas presents are of thousand different kinds. Silver was never cheaper, yet It's beauty and artistic value has not decreased. Bangle bracelets are again in, not the clattering bangles of sever al years ago. but solid stiff rings made on the key ring plan and fitted with a snap for holding a charm. One of the prettiest charms Is locket that is no more than two crystal disks bound to- gether by gold or silver band. Two tiny photographs are inserted, one showing at one side, the other on the opposite face. One is the picture of the giver, the other of the owner, and the locket cannot be opened. When order ed the pictures are put in for keeps by the jeweler, which is supposed to be douole-extra romantic. FLORETTE.

OLD MAN AND YOUNG WIFE.
A Washington Jehu Who Sees All Sorts

A Washington Jehu Who Sees All Sorts
 Weary of the Jay With Bird.
 But of all married couples the old jay with the young wife makes me most tired. The old duffer tries to put on a dignified air when many people are around, but wait until he gets a chance to smile at his young bride. It's awful. The smile is that of possuhl which has been treed and knows there is no escape. I mean that it's sickly Half of them may be putting on with the in- nocent girl. Three days ago I had one of these old jays in tow, What do you suppose he said to his wife? I was talk ing them from the White House to the Treasury and passed by the fountain which contains so many pretty gold- fish. oh, look at the beautiful little things he said, with grin at his wife. You are prettier than any fish In that pond She said, 'Oh!' Well, l wanted to throw him in, but of course I was looking out for the coin.
 Here comes newly married couple. Anybody could tell that. You see he has his wife by the arm and is looking down into her face with an air of con- tentment that Is enough to make my blues leave me to see. I noticed that couple coming up Pennsylvania avenue twenty minutes ago. He was holding her arm then. He will stick to the job until they reach their hotel this after noon. He Is not afraid she will escape, but he thinks that Is part of new groom's business. You see, he helps her up the steps and points out things to her. He tells her that Is soandso. Nine chances out of ten 1t Is something else. He feels that he Is bound to say something. I have seen many of these young know-alls point out the Corco- ran Art Gallery as the Patent Office, and pass the State, War and Navy building off as the residence of General Miles or as the new city post-office. The innocent bride stares in wonder and thinks it's so. She believes her darling Henry knows all about 1t.
 It's very different with the man who has been married several years. He and his wife see for themselves. He stops and looks at thing which inter- ests him. She goes cn and stops to look at something which interests her. They are generally twenty yards apart. If he tells her that a building Is such and such she disputes the point and thinks it's something lse.''-Washng- ton Star.
