4 minister who kept race horses and had at bis command good store of very blunt vernacular, who could not be got to admit that he understood an abstract thought, who always knew what he wanted and was determined ts carry it out regardless of the opinions of others, who conceived his own ideas to be superior to those of other people, who never looked farther than tomorrow and much preferred not to think beyond this evening, but who at the same time was determined to establish the priyi- iege of an Englishman to the sidewalk all over the world, while men of other nations might step into tho gutter this minister represented aspirations which had long ago siekened under the rounded periods intended to convince humanity that bread and calico summed ID their total requirements and were more sufficient for rational happiness. This was the popular conception of Palmerston when, i'll 1855, ho became first minister of the crown. -"Y Yoke of Empire, :" by R. B. Brett

 A woman who suffers from weakness and disease of the delicate and important or gans distinctly feminine, cannot hope to recover her general health through ath- letics, so long as she remains locally weak. A woman suffering in this way is unftted to bear the strain of athletics just as much as she is unftted to bear the duties and burdens of wifehood and motherhood.

The Plan Which a Large Manufacture
 Found Successful.
 The question, "What is to become oi the old mani" is one that is frequently discussed. Generally 1t is meant to ap, ply to men who have not been able to save sufficient money to support them in their declining years and whose eco nomio efficiency has become impaired by the passing of years To be depend. ent upon their children or relatives is 3 humiliation that would imbitter that part of their lives which should be free from care. The almshouse is horror of degradation from which they shrink. In some countries the governments have endeavored to solve the problem by system of labor pensions. This is done ill Germany; but, despite it's merits, it still savers of charity or paternalism.
 4 few individuals hayo sought for solution in this country In at least one community the employer of 1000 men insures the lives of all his workmen ur to $3. .000, and after 25 years of continu- ous service an employee may retire and continue to draw full wages as long as he lives To do this the employer say. that it costs him not over 1 per cent of his wages account which he regards as the cheapest possible insurance against strikes and against the disturbance caused by constantly changing his work ing force. He puts by every year that small percentage of his profits to the ac- count of wear and tear upon labor. just as he does a larger percentage to the ac- count of wear and tear upon machinery. He is an earnest advocate of a national labor pension and insurance system-not by the government. but by an associa- tion of employers Now York Mail and Express

A Chicago Girl Notes That English worn-

 "Under these circumstances we took our first drive down Piecadilly, and Europe to me dates from that moment, !" writes Miss Lilim Bell ill The Ladies' Home Journal "The ship, the landing, the custom house, the train, tho hotel all these were mere preliminaries to Europe, which began then. People told me in America how my heart would swell at this and how would thrill at that, but it was not so. My first real thrill came on me in Piccadilly. It went all over me in little shivers and came out at the ends Of my fingers and then began once more at the base of my brain and did it all over again.
 1T remember nothing definite about that first drive. l, for my part, saw with unseeing eyes. My sister had seen it all before, so she had the power of speech. Occasionally she prodded me and cried, Look, oh, look quicklyP But I never swerved I can't look. If do, shall miss something. You attend to your own window and I'll attend to mine. Coming back will see your side.
 "When we got beyond tho shops, said to the cabman:
 '" Do you know exactly the way you have come2'
 "'Yes, miss, he said.
 Then go back precisely the same way.
 "'Have you lost something, miss2' he inquired.
 "'Yes,' I said, T have lost an i'm pression, and must look till I find it.
 "We did it all over again that after noon, and that second time I was able in a measure to detaeh myself from the hum and buzz and the dizzying effect of foreign faces, and l began to locate impressions My first distinct recolleo- tions are of the great numbers of high hats on the men, the i'll hanging skirts and big feet of the women, the unsteady ing effect of all those thousands of cabs, carriages and carts all going to the left, which kept me constantly wishing to shriek out, Go to the right or we'll be kil1edl' tho absolutely perfect manner in which traffic was managed and the majestic authority of the London DO lice J

UNCLE SANS NAVY

The demand for information respect
ing our navy has become so great that
the ordinary sources of supply no long
or suffice to satisfy it. The public, while
eagerly devouring whatever news Is
published, also seek such knowledge OF
our naval resources as pictures alone
can furnish. since these appeal more
clearly to the perceptions than printed
descriptions, and are thus u pleasure for
the eye as we'll as n satisfaction to the
intelligence. To fulfill this patriotic
desire and to stimulate loyal sentiment
this portfolio series has been prepared,
easch part of which will contain six
teen pages, 11x13la inches in size, and
as many superb Photographic illustra-
tions printed on heavy plate paper,
bonnd in colored paper covers.
These views will embrace our great
battleships, cruisers, monitors. gun
boats, torpedo boats, coast defense
boats, dynamite cruisers, auxiliary ves-
sells, portraits of naval commanders,
ship crews, officers and men. drill ex-
ercises, big guns. ETC., each picture be-
ing accompanied by all needful text
information.
In addition to these illustrations,
there will be original pictures repre-
senting the explosion of the battleship
Maine, the harbor of Havana and a war
map of Cuba, supplemented by facts
historic and explanatory, that will af-
ford q complete und derstanding not only
of our naval efficiency, but also of the
provocations that prompted to the max.
ing Of war preparations against prob
able hOsti1ities.
There will be six portfolios, published
in weekly issues, the first of which will
be ready for delivery about April 10.

A REAL ULTIMATUM

It would do the administration at
Washington a deal Of good if it should
pause in it's mad, tumultuous delay
and look up the history Of the ulti-
matum business as illustrated in the
relations between this country and Grea,
Britain during the civil war. The New
York Times cites the seizure of the con-
federate commissioners. Mason and Sill
dell, on board a British ship by Captain
Wilkes of the United States navy as an
international parallel to the Maine in
cident, and describes the course of the
British government after that great mis-
take occurred.
Earl Russell, after citing the facts In
che case, stated his belief that Captain
Wilkes acted without authority, and as
sumed that our government would make
proper reparation by releasing the COM
missioners and apologizing. In a second
and private communication to the Brit
