The Quiet and Secluded Little Villages
in England.
There are few quieter, more secluded
villages in England than Moons, east
and west, lying among the Hampshire
downs. Old Winchester hill. presiding
over the scene, seems to tell of some
old British city Whereabouts, the fore
runner OF the more famous city of the
plains, says Household Words. And
the Romans were busy about the hills
with camps and summer settlements
lang syne. But nothing much has hap
pened there since Sturdy Goblet
passed that way in his Rural Rides"
and marveled at the huge church of
East Neon in its mighty solitude. Built
to hold thousands, and now, in Cob
belts time. few shepherds and graz
iers, sparsely scattered, form the whole
population of the parish. And still
the process of depopulation goes on,
as census tables tell But the Moons
are to have a railway at last, and we
read that the Neon Valley railway,
from Alton to Fareham, distance of
about twenty-six miles, will run
through country hitherto quite I'M
touched by any railway, and will af-
ford a rapid and direct means of COM
munication between Aldershot and the
southern ports and defenses of Ports
mouth, Southampton and Gosport.

Sick people don't like to be stared
at. They are morbidly sensitive. TO
look surprised at the change sickness
has wrought is annoying, and, worse
than that, it is disheartening, and
makes invalids imagine their case to
be worse than it is. Therefore, don't
stare at sick person, and don't stand
at the back of the bed to make him
turn his eyes round to see you. AL
ways sit by the bedside, for the patient
feels more at rest than if you stand
up tall before him. And don't whisper;
don't talk in low voice; don't follow
the doctor or a caller out into the next
room. The invalid will be absolutely
certain that you are discussing him.
Don't wear garments that rustic or are
made Of rough clothing, to come into
contact with hands made tender by
sickness, and don't wear creaking
boots or thick-soled boots.

TARDY PREPARATION.
Countries Like People Cannot Do
Wrong with Impunity.

NOuulTkSS AAhe cannot DO
Wrong with Impunity.
France has tried to comfort herself
with the reflection that the life Of c.e
Jew is unimportant, ard that her inter-
ests may best be served by an act OF
possible lawlessness, says the Specta-
tor. But her hopes are doomed to dis
of no avail. Piece by piece the truth
has been uncovered, and though
France has opposed discovery with
added deceit she has today no chance
Of going backward. She will be forced
to perform with an i'll grace a common
act of reparatioD, which some years
ago might most gra cefully have been
performed But she cannot for half
century undo the ev which her I'M
righteousness has caused. Discredited
throughout Europe, she stands sullied
among the nations, finding no conf
dence in her institutions, and inspiring
nothing else than distrust. And the
moral Of it all Is that nations, no more
than individuals, may stamp upon the
elementary rules of right and wrong
The morality which governs peoples Is
not precisely the same as governs men
in the conduct of their lives; a coun-
try has not the same high obligation OF
truth and outspokenness as is laid
upon separate citizens. But countries,
too, have their truth, and while they
may simulate before rivals, they must
exact within their borders a love of
Justice No detection may pass with
impunity; when once the sense Of duty
is obscured disaster is certain; for
there always remains one taper of
light to iilumine the dim places. Had
NJ. lola never pierced the darkness
then France might have had the salts
faction Of keeping forever under lock
and key a man who she knew had been
Illegally condemned; she might still
have declared with infinite scorn that
her action was an affaire de cuisine
and that a Jew had no right to a gen
erous protection. And though she
would have suffered in herself, when
the moment Of battle came she might
for a while have escaped the notice Of
Europe. But NJ lola was not to be
extinguished; he revealed to the whole
world his country's injustice and made
an ultimate reparation necessary. The
national confidence in the army will
for awhile be shaken, but justice will
presently be re-established, and with II
a proper sense of patriotism.

ception of the blacks who endure
life of hunger in the heart of Africa,
there is hardly any enc in the world
who fares so badly as the herdsmen

Sophia Has Gone to 5000 in Thirty

Sophia Christian. better known all

almshouse recently, says the Reading
(Pa) News. 1t is estimated that in
the last thirty years she has attended
5000 funerals, She was a close reader
of death advertisements, and some
times could SO arrange her schedule as
to attend three or four funerals day.
At houses of mourning where she was
denied admittance she scaled the back
fence. At the church service she
usually managed to get into pew with
the relatives and made herself con-
spicuous with her tears, which seemed
to flow at will She always, if pos
sible, secured.a seat in one of the car
irages as near the front as possible
After interments Sophia would return
to the house with the relatives, and if
dinner had been prepared she would
invite herself to the repast.
Strategy was used to get her TO the
almshouse. She was told that there
was big funeral out in the country,
and she was asked to go along.
