Emits a brighter ray"
Some time ago an unknown donor
(supposed to be Helen Gould) presented
to the New York university 800, 900 with
which to build Hall OF Fame, the only
one OF its kind in this country and pos
sibly in the word. Within its walls are
to be inscribed the names of one hun
bred of the most eminent Americans.
The names will be selected by one hun
dred judges, composed Of university or
college presidents and educators, pro-
fessors Of history and scientists, editors
and authors and judges of supreme
court, state or national. No name is
eligible whose possessor has not been
dead for ten years. Only fifty can now
be selected and five additional every ten
years thereafter. The CON pany is there
by assured to be an exclusive one.
Necessity will make one submit to
all things.
The circulation of The Ladies' Home
journal has reached 100000, and pass
ed it by 5.OOO-9O5, 900 copies the aggre-
gate circulation Of the April ISSUE
This is an increase of over $4,000 copies
per month for the last four months
since January first Of the present year
over the corresponding period in 1899.
Even those figures do not tell the whole
story OF the growth OF the Journals pop
ularity. But they stand for the extreme
limit OF the capacity Of the presses upon
which the magazine is printed, but
which for the last year or more-even
with the constant increase in their num-
Der. and running day and night-have
been unable to keep the supply apace
with the increasing demand. Every
issue within that period has been ex-
hausted in less than a fortnight after
the date OF publication, and the mechan-
ical restrictions have made it impossible
to meet subsequent calls for the maya
zine-several Thousand each month.
The opportunities for doing little kind
neeses daily crowd our pathway waiting
recognition, and that day should be
counted as lost, "whose slow descending
done"
A writer from Manila, in speaking Of
that country says: "And the natives are
not the only things that break loose in
the Philippines now and then. The vol
cano Magon, in Albay Province, gave a
sudden rumble and roar few deys ago,
and the reports say ashes and stones are
STILL raining down on the village Of
Tabaco. A Manila steamer lying in the
harbor had her decks and cabins we'll
sprinkled with the refuse which had
been gathering for years in the throat of
the old crater, and finally found it neces-
sary to move out to sea to avoid the del
uge. MACON is an almost perfect cone,
rising from the plain near Tabaco to a
height Of 5000 feet. On February 9th
the first signs Of activity in many years
we're noticed and then the fiery noun
vail nosSiCo ooWh W ptoAoy OusAucee.
Great waves Of lava rolled down it's
sides; stones and ashes were projected
into the air. The falling ashes almost
obscured the daylight in Tabaco and the
inhabitants had to light lamps in their
houses"
Conscierc, is the guardian angel OF
every man.
The correct place for a postage stamp
upon an envelope is at the upper right
hand corner, and the postal authorities
have given notice that the COVER ment
will not be responsible for delay in the
transmission Of letters not having the
postage affixed III the right place. The
use Of stamp cancelling machines in the
large city ofices is what has caused this
order to be issued, as letters improperly
stamped have to be thrown out and can
celled by hand. 1t is just as easy to
afax . stamp in the proper place as in
any other, and q methodical man OF bus
mess always does this, but there are a
great many people who stick a stamp in
