Cheap Water in Glasgow.

In Glasgow SIS householder OBJ
tains for SLAP per annum a continuous,
never failing, unrestricted stream OF
the purest water in the world delivered
right into his kitchen, wash-house and
bathroom. 1t is calculated that $50
gallons Of pure water are delivered to
the citizens of Glasgow for every
penny paid. And it is water of such
peculiar softness that the householders
Of Glasgow can pay their water rate
out of what they save on soap. Loeb
katrine water is not only SOFT is
remarkably bright, clear and free from
vegetable matter because of the bare
and precipitous character of the hills
which drain into the loch. It is uni
form in color, temperature and quail
ity, is absolutely free from pollution,
and must remain so because the corpo-
ration have now bought up the build
ing rights of the whole drainage area;
it needs no filtration and is practically
unaffected by the change OF seasons.

HandIcrafts That Impress Their Mar

HandicraftS That Impress Their Mark.
Probably sailors and miners are
more impressed by their respective
callings than any other workers. The
sailor, living in great open spaces and
subject to sudden and unforeseen con-
tingencies, is frank to the verge of
recklessness, but full of prompt re-
source. He usually thinks what he
pleases and says what he thinks with
out chopping logic-the sea molds his
character to it's own moods and wheth-
er these resemble the hard-hitting
of the gale, or the softer tempers OF
smooth water, both are frank and free
The miner, on the contrary, is shap-
ed by his work to face hard facts as he
does hard rock. He finds ways and
means to get through or round both
exhibiting both physically and men
tally a logged obstinacy; hence, min
ers' strikes are amongst the worst OF
labor disputes. AS a class, also, min
ers tend to be narrow-minded; they
work within limited horizons, and

A Fathers Grim DUTY.

=: Wilkesbarre, Pa, correspondence soi
Philadelphia, North American: James
Richard, an engineer on the PLANES
of Ashley, left his ten-year-old son in
fagman's shanty while he went into
the engine house. His son screamed
soon afterwards, and Richard was hor-
rif1ed to find that he had wandered on
the track and had been run over by
the big truck used to push cars up the
incline. The truck, weighing several
tons, rested on the boys legs, near the
hips, crushing them into a pulp. There
was no help within two miles, and the
distracted father had to start.the en-
gines in order to drag the truck of
the boy. The little fellow was uncon-
scious and died next morning.

After Philippa had rested from the

After Philippa had rested from the
fatigues Of the journey, she prepared
to give audience to the king in the
great drawing-room Of the castle.
B She was attired in magnificent robe
of white satin ernbroid ered with gold.
It had court train Of royal purple
velvet bordered with pearls. Her gold
en- hair was dressed high and in It's
coils was set tiara of amethysts.
Her ladies withdrew that the young
people might have no witness to their
meeting. She was alone. - "
From a window the girl watched the
approach of the king. She noted how
handsome he was in a suit of fine green
velvet with silver satin trimmings.
Yet she was angry with herself that
she admired him.
Nothing does he care for mel" she
thought, bitterly. W.
She drew herself up with great dig
nifty as he entered the room. He bowed
low before her and commenced some
formal speech. Then the words died
upon his lips. The shock OF great
surprise kept him silent. Before him
stood the lady of the miniature. His
Joy may be imagined. He told the story
to Philippa. She in turn confessed her
love. The marriage next day was no
formal affair of state, but a union OF
two fondly loving hearts. And all his
life long the people wondered how the
king who had been so cold sutton had
been transformed into such a loving
husband.-Lydia Kingsmill Command

Why Men No Longer Dance.

The Diapers Journal, the leading or
gan of the trade in the world, has just
completed a searching investigation
into the causes of the present scarcity
of dancing men. It comes to the con-
clusion that the materials now popular
for ball dresses Of fashionable women
are largely responsible. These fabrics
and the materials with which they are
trimmed are often so rough and sharp
that they soon destroy .'the gloss and
perfect condition of well-groomed
mans dress suit" It is, therefore,
with the idea Of saving their dress
suits that the men decline to dance.

INCREASE OF MUTEs. 7
Due to Intermarriage statements Of
q. Authorities. I 5ss


q Authorities.
The census of 1890 showed 41,28S
deaf mutes in the United States. But
it is admitted that the list is defective,
so many parents and relatives wishing
to conceal defects that the census TAX.
ers could not get accurate data. In
1870 the number was 16,205. Stats.
tics show that the number of deaf
mutes is increasing at a much faster
ratio than the total population, and
that more and more deaf mutes are
marrying deaf mutes and thus propa--
eating defective variety of the race.
DR.. w. W. Turner, the late principal of
the American asylum in Hartford, the
largest institution in the country where
dear mutes are received, says the st.
Louis Post-Dispatch, shows that the
number of congenita1 deaf mutes is
multiplying with increasing rapidity.
He cites one case where woman lived
to see sixteen deaf and dumb grand
children. He declares that every con-
slderatlon Of philanthropy, as we'll as
the best interests of congenital1y deaf
persons themselves, should induce their
teachers and friends to urge upon them
the improperly of intermarriage.
Years ago there was one deaf mute to
every 1000 of the population. Prof.
Alexander Graham Bell, the celebrated
inventor, married a deaf mute, and
has written "A Memoir Upon the For
nation of Deaf Variety of the HUI
man Race" After extensive research
he made this declaration: t*The indica-
lions are that the congenital deaf
mutes of this country are increasing
at greater rate than the population
at large. And the deaf mute children
of deaf mutes are increasing at great
er rate than the congenital deaf mute
population. If the laws Of heredity
that are known to hold in the case of
animals also apply to man the inter-
marriage of congenital deaf mutes
through a number of successive gener-
ations should result in the formation of
deaf variety of the human race" Re-
ports of the American asylum at Hart
ford show that 80 per cent of the pu-
pills admitted had deaf mute relatives
Cases showing as many as fifteen deaf
mute relatives to one individual were
found. There were more than $4,000
deaf mutes in the United States who
belonged to families containing more
than one deaf mute. More threaten
ing still is the statement of DR.. Henry
L. Peet, the deaf and dumb specialist
He declares as a result of his re-
searches that the normal hearing
brothers and sisters of deaf mute
are about as liable to have deaf chill.
dren as the deaf mute himself.

THE LAST MAN.
Fates That May Overtake the Survivor
II OF the Human Race. =3 &4


OF. the Human Race. f. G<
Astronomers tell US that the day
must come when the earth will,
like the moon, wheel through the heav-
ems dead and barren ball Of matter,
airles;s, waterless, lifeless. But long,
long before that time man will be ex-
tinct, and will have disappeared so ut
terly that not so much as the bleached
skeleton of human being will be visi-
BILE on all the millions Of square miles
OF the surface of this planet. Unless
by some huge and universal cataclysm
the whole race is swept at once into
eternity, it is but reasonable to sup
pose that man, like any other race of
animals, will disappear slowly and that
eventually there will be but a single
human being left-some old, old man.,
gray headed and bearded, and left to
wander alone in a solitude that may be
Imagined but not described. How will
ne die, this last relic of the teeming
millions that once transformed the
globe and ruled undisputed master of
every other living thing? There are
many fates that may befall him. He
may go mad with the horror of loneli-
ness and himself end his miserable ex-
istence. He may be eaten by the vast
reptiles or giant insects which will
then probably infest the. solitudes. But
his fate may be far weirder and more
dreadful. Scientists say that as we
burn the coal and timber we are still
so richly supplied with we let loose
into the atmosphere an ever-increasing
volume of carbonic acid gas. Much of
this is taken up by plants, but not all.
1t must increase and eventually poison
the breathable air, filling the valleys
and mountains slowly to the hilltops,
where the last remains of animal life
are striving for existence. The last
man will climb higher and higher, but
eventually the suffocating, invisible
fluid will reach and drown him.

JOHN AND PHILIPPA.

In the middle Of the fourteenth cen
tury John of Gaunt, duke of Lancas-
ter, the famous son of King Edward
III. of England, married the Infanta
Blanche, heir to the throne of CASTLE.
Unfortunately the lady had been sup
planted by her cousin, who had seized
and held the throne. s~
Twenty-Five years after this mar
riage war broke out between Portugal
and CASTLE. England was the ally Of
Portugal. The duke of Lancaster
headed the English forces. He fought
with will. Victory meant that his
wife, the duchess, would be queen of
CASTLE. t. ~.
The king of Portugal, too, interested
him. He was fine young man of 26.
He was tall and handsome and had
wavy black hair and large dark eyes,
He was a brave soldier and good
horseman.
In some ways he was unlike most
kings. He cared nothing for the
drunken bouts and coarse pleasures in
which his companions INDUCED. He
was noted for the remarkable purity of
his life. His people called him John
the Perfect. They were devoted to
him.
In one thing only he failed to please
his subjects. He would not marry.
They could not understand his reluc-
lance. Yet.he had a reason, though
he kept it secret.
Three years before an English
knight, on visit to the king Of Por-
tugal, had died suddenly. At the last
moment he placed in the hand of the
king miniature painting. He attempt
ed to say something in explanation. It
was too late.
The picture was of beautiful, but
unknown, maiden. Ripping fair hair
shaded her round pink cheeks. Her
blue eyes gazed steadily into the kings
dark ones. Her lips were curved in a
half smile as if she were amused at the
mystery he faced.
Days, weeks, months passed, and the
king still studied the miniature. He
was enthralled by the fair unknown.
Had but learned her name before
my good friend died!" he sighed a
thousand times. "Who can she be?"
he wondered. There was no response.
Several years passed. At length he
felt that he must put sentiment aside
and yield to the wishes of his people
and marry.

DRESS IN BAD TASTE.

English Women Wear Costly Fabrics at

Ida Hustled Harper, one of the Amer
lean delegates to the international
woman's congress recently held in
London, left the British metropolis
with a very poor opinion of her Eng
lish sisters taste in dress. Before
leaving for London" she wrote the
other day, 1--WE were told by persons
who wanted us to be a credit to our
country that we must be careful not
to dress too gayly over here, that nice,
genteel tailor-made suits were the
proper thing. So we bankrupted our
selves on *tailor-mades' of various
weights and colors- we have
scarcely seen an Englishwoman wearing
one since we arrived. Even in the
morning at public meetings the most
delicate fabrics are worn, with long

with thin kid slippers or white shoes.
They are dragged about with utter dis
regard on the dirty floors of halls,
theaters and the courtyards, which
everywhere abound. When we saw
chiffon dresses trailing through the
parks we said to our escort: Those

answered. After becoming acquainted

women on the subject and they said:

July, but the other nine months of the
year we live in them So we put ours

have been fortunate enough to see the

functions, and it has been Interesting
to compare their dressing with that

opinion Is that in the fit, quality and
style of gowns, those in America are
quite equal to those in England, II
not superior; but in laces and jewels
the English women are ahead. 4 think
we do not have any gatherings
where as many women have magnifi-
cent laces and jewels as one sees here.
The reason Is not hard to find. It
takes time to collect these things, even
where one has money. Here they are

SURPRISE KEPT HIM SILENT.

To cement his alliance with the Eng
lish people he proposed to the duke of
Lancaster that he give him one of his
daughters. The duke was pleased. 1t
would advance his plans.
II have two daughters" he said
"Philippa, who is 20, and Catherine;
who is II. Your majesty can have
which you choose"
In these affairs of state it matters
little" said the king, sadly. "Let it be
the older, to more nearly match my
own age"
The duke returned at once to Eng
land to prepare his daughter for this
royal marriage. He carried with him
portraits of the king, and described in
glowing terms his graces and virtues
There was no choice for Philippa
Fortunately, the fair English maid
was pleased with the dark beauty of
tho ling. She wondered If he would
admire her. She had heard of his in
difference to women. and knew that
he had not even asked for her picture
AT least he shall not know that
care at all for him." she thought, for
sho was high-sTifited girl. -:
Tho marriage was by proxy. This
was not uncommon in royal families
long ago. The dignity of the king for.
babe him to 60 from his own land to
seek his BRIDE. Yet the Lady Philippa
of Lancaster was granddaughter Of the
king of England. She must be married
in her own country.
The king sent as his proxy a great
archbishop. He travelled in royal state,
attended by many mobiles.
After the ceremony Philippa, as
queen Of Portugal, went, in care Of the
archbishop and all his train, to the
husband whom in her heart she loved.
and whom she knew cared not for her.
On her arrival in Portugal she was
taken to grand castle, where the mar
rage ceremony was to be performed on
the following day with the king In
stead Of his proxy.
