The Hand-to-MouthE Existence That Was
Led by Leigh Hunt.
Leigh Hunt had no sense, either OF
time or money-a grave fault, perhaps
an objectionable vice in a man who had
q wife and children dependent upon
him. As long as he lived he was thrift
less and needy, a lender and n borrower.
SO generous that he could never afford
to be just, bringing upon those whom
he loved sincerely constant burden
of debt and care. How reprehenSible
this was he seems never to have felt,
though he blames himself freely and
light-heartedly, and if the reader of
his autobiography is disposed to feel
sorry for Mrs. Hunt, it is not because
her husband sets him the example. This
was Leigh Hunts one vice, never amend
ed nor actively repented Of Yet he
had had his warning. 1t is pathetic to
compare with each other the two fol-
lowing passages and see how clearly
Leigh Hunt foresaw his danger and
how incapable he proved of escaping it:

THE WORLDS POLICE.
Irish and Spanish Said to BE the
Finest in the World.

Irish and Spanish Said to BE the
Finest in the World.
An Englishman whose hobby is the
study Of policemen all over the world
says that the Irish constabulary and the
civil guard of Spain are the finest bodies
of police in Europe. The Spanish civil
guard was established in 1916, when
highwaymen were numerous in Spain,
and the duty of it's members is still to
patrol the high roads and practically to
guard travellers. Their power is almost
absolute, but they do not abuse it. They
wear dark blue tunics and yellow belts.
with knee breeches and old-fashioned
CATERS.
The Italian police are divided into five
sections, the first being the carabinieri,
who wear dark blue tail coats, trousers
with red bands, silver buttons and orna-
ments, cooked hats with tri-colored
coclzades, gloves and swords. The Nea-
politan police are especially smart in
appearance. The Berlin police were
found rather disappointing, for, al
though a fine body of men as regards
height, they have decided tendency to
| stoutness.
Their methods of enforcing order are
firm, but almost invariably polite. The
policemen in Vienna are great dandies-
Russian policemen are bigger than any
in Europe, and are compared in this re-
spect with those of New York, but it is
stated that the broadway squad" can
give inches in size to any body of men
in Europe.
The Russian force is divided into
three sections, urban, suburban and
river police. Men of the urban division
wear black, with yellow and red facings,
| those of the suburban section black
with purple facings, and the river police
black with white facings.
The Japanese police bear the palm for
picturesqueness, especially in their
summer costume. They wear white,
with sort of cape attached to their
hats hanging down on their shoulders.
The Fiji islands are kept in order by a
body called the armed native con
stabulary." Their tunics of dark blue
with scarlet facings contrast striking
| ly with scolloped kits of white linen.
| The uniform of the Madras policeman
consists of a gayly-cOlored tIirban, dark
| jacket, white trousers and sandals

In days of old the saber

In days of old the saber
Gave honor to the hand,
And those that did not labor
Were princes in the land;
To-day has crowned with glory
The brow believed by toll;
The theme of song and story
Has risen from the soil.
No more are felt the shackles
That once held man a slave;
The furnace FIRE that crackles
Has melted sword and glave.
o freemen all, and brothers!
Find joy in what you do;
The happiness of others
Is laid in trust on you!
o workeri see the beauty
You're building to the skies;
Along the path of duty
You're nearing Paradise!
The flowers of art that blossom
In column, spire and dome
Shall lie in Labor's bosom
And beautify her home.
And Peace shall come, and wonder
Shall fill the world anew
Eternal arms be under
To watt you dangers through.
The sun will shine still brighter,
The stars will sing and shine,
The burden will be lighter,
For labor is divine.
