4 Chicago Girl Notes That English wo1n-

 Under these circumstances we took our first driye down Piecadilly, and Europe to me dates from that moment. ; writes Miss LiliAn Bell in The Ladies' Home Journal. "The ship, the landing, the custom house, the train, the hotel all these were mere preliminaries to Europe, which began then. People told me i'll 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 ill little shiyers 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.
 "I remember nothing definite about that first drive. ], for my part, saw with unseeing eyes My sister had seen it all before, so she had tho power of speech Occasionally she prodded mo and cried, Look, oh, look quicl1lyP But I never swerved. T can't look. If do, shall miss something. You attend to your own window and I'll attend to mine Coming back 1 will see your side
 When we got beyond the shops, I said to the cabman:
 Do you know exactly the way you have come?
 Yes, miss. he said
 Then go back precisely the same way
 /" Have you lost something, miss?' he inquired.
 Yes l sail, I have lost an im- pression. and l must look till find it.
 We did 1t all over again that after noon, and that second time was able in q measure to detach myself from the hum and buzz and the dizzying effect of foreign faces and began to locate impressions. My first distinct recollec- 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 well be killedP tho absolutely perfect manner in which traffic was managed and the majestic authority of the London DO lice.

4 Story of Abernethx.

The doctor said, What quantity of ale do you take?'' "Oh, taal1es my yaase pretty we'll Abernethy (with great patience and gentleness), Now then, to begin the day - breakfast, what timer" "Oh, at haafe past 7. D Ale then; how much?' 1T taalzes my quart. J "Luncheon?" At II o'clock, l gets another snack :" Ale then?" "Oh, yes, my pint and haafe. ," Din ner2'' "Haafe past 1. D Any ale then?"

Like 1iGn aroused, Aber- nethy was up, opened the street door, showed the farmer out and shouted out, ''Go home, sir, and let mo never sec your face again Go homo, drink your ale and be damned. :" The farmer rushed out aghast, Abernethy pursuing him down the street with shouts of "Go home, sir, and be damned.

CARE FOR EMPLOYEES.
The Plan Which Large Manufacture
 Found sueeessfuI.

The question, What IS Co become o1 the old man?'' is ono that is frequently discussed Generally it is meant to ap- ply to mon 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 2 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 Q system of labor pensions. This is dono ill Germany; but, despite its merits, it still sayors of charity or paternalism.
 A few individuals have sought for q solution i'll this country. In at least ono community the employer of 1000 men insures the lives of all his worlmen up to $3, 900. 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 says that it costs him not over 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 larger percentage to tho ac- count of wear and tear upon machinery, He is an earnest advocate of national labor pension and insurance system-not by the government, but by all associa- tion of employers.

CoLoRING THE BUTTER.
A Conservative and Apparently Com
meudabIe View of an Important
Dairy Problem.

l have fed COWS for good many
gears, writes q daiTyman- I have used
about all the different feeds that have
been recommended as good for the cow.
and have thus far failed TO find any
feed OF combinations Of food that would
color butter at all times Of year so as 10
sui1 our trade Some breeds. notably
the Guernsey. are said TO color their
butter the right tint the year round
I suppose there are individuals in all
strains that will do this, but they are
few and far between. / have owned a
great many COWS, some as good as one
can find. but have never owned a half
dozen that put color enough in their
butter in the winter time. no matter
what fed them. So have given that
up as a failure and laid il away with
the eding-fat-into-milk and the feed
ing-favor-inTo-butter theories. There
they lie, triplets and fads- have never
tried iayoring with carrots, as some Of
our anti-artificial friends suggest and
practice. and don't say that would not
have the desired effect. but if there is
any wrong in coloring butter outside
