A SONG OF MANHOOD.

Let magnates rejoice in the pride of
their station.
Let weaklings repine in the breath of
the slums
/ deem 1t unworthy of mans aspiration
To reign at the banquet or pick up the
crumbs.
The spirit may droop though with grand
eur surrounded.
And Golfers .o'erfiow with the treasure
they hold:
The soul has ambitions that may not be
bounded
By welding of power or boarding of
gold.
The chariot may roll on the boulevard
The victor of life on his triumphal way:
There's naught that appeals to my man
hood In wearing
The tinsei'd regalia. of pomp and dis
play.
My knee to no Moloch of fashion Is
bended-
Serenely contented whate'er may be-
] mourn, not my simple career, unattend-
ed
With fountains of pleasure or trappings
of pride.
] scorn the gay banquet with kingly at
tendance.
My nature was formed for a simpler
The plowshare upturning my life's inde-
pendence,
And pleasures that cost not n sigh nor
tear:
The conscience untarnshed that calls
forth the smiling
OF him who abides in the heavens
above.
The glow OF true friendship. life's sea-
sons beguiling.
The pleasures of home and the sun
shine of love.

A Warning to Smokers.

There was an accident on n Broad
way street car at New York the other
day that ought to be thoroughly ad-
vertised, because 1t is liable to happen
on any street ear in any city at any
hour. 1t was an open ear, with seats
running crosswisc. A young man who
had been smoking II cigarette flung the
stub under the seat before him. The
wind and the jarring carried the stub
along until it reached the cotton skirts
of n lady who occupied the next scat
and set them afirc. People smelled the
peculiar Odor of burning cotton, but
paid no attention to it until this lady
arose to get off the car Then the
smoldering blaze burst out. and she
was badly burned before 1t could be
eXtinguishcd. The man who threw
away the cigarette had the moral cour-
age to confess his fault. and took all
the blame upon his own shoulders. He
accompanied the lady to the nearest
drug store, where her burns were
dressed, then sent her home in cab.

No queen could have been the recip-

paid recently to Miss Mabel Langshaw
Of Cleveland, who works in Il store.
Men bent and crippled with disease
and age passed by her with their gray
hair uncovered, and many of them kiss
ed her hands while with tears in their
eyes they thanked her for happy day.
The men were twelve of the aged in
mates of the city intlrmary to whom
Miss Langshaw had given day In the
public park. n dinner and n long ride in
the street cars.
Miss Langshaw formed the plan of
giving the old men in the poor house
IL picnic and worked out the project al
most alone She asked the street car
companies to help and they placed two
large trolley ears at her disposal.
Among her friends she started sub
scriptions and raised the money needed
for the dinner ut the park and more
than enough was contributed. Mrs. G.
II. Morgan and the Rev. w. w. Sniff
addressed the old men after dinner,
and a number of children gave the
aged picnlckers button-hole Doquets
and recited and sang to them.

President Receives About 500. 900.

The president receives salary OF
$50 900 a year, his house free, and this
includes the heating and lighting. The

the government. The only servants
whose wages the president Is called

Diplomacy seems to be one Of the most
paying professions to follow. 1.-The
salary of an ambassador" is we'll
known saying when any one wishes to
indicate that such and such person Is
possessed of great wealth. Sir E. j.
Monon, our ambassador at Paris. is
the most highly paid of all those vigil
liant gentlemen who guard our inter-
ests abroad. He receives for his SER
vices the princely income of $4,000 a
year. After him comes Sir II. Rumbold
at Vienna, with $4,000; Sir f. C. Las
celles, at Berlin, with the same yearly
sum, and Sir Charles Stewart Scott.

Rome. $1,000; Turkey. Gs.O00; Toxic.
$4,000; Egypt, $4,000; Teheran.
e 45,00O-a list taken at random, which
serves to show the large earnings Of
our representatives. The English
church is still paying profession for
the men at the head of 1t. The arch
bishop of Canterbury, DR.. Temple, en-
joys, and indeed earns, the nice little
sum of E15,O0O year, while his col
league of York is, like the bishop of
London, paid 10000 for his arduous
and never-ending labors. The earl of
Mimic, the governor of Canada, heads
the list of governors with 900. and
after him comes Sir Alfred Milner of
Cape Town with $4,000. Lord Beau
champ of New South Wales gets f7,-
900, as also does Gen. Grenfell. who
looks after that island fort, Malta.
Sums of $4,000, $4,000, and $4,000
are common salaries. Consul-generals
are munificently paid. Two of them
Viscount Cromer of Cairo and Sir H.
M. Durand of Teheran-each receive
$4,000 year. For being first lord Of
the admiralty Mr.. Goschen draws 34,-

the last few days, enjoyed as attorney
general $1,000. Mr. Chamberlain has,
besides his own large private fortune.
$4,000 as his official salary, while for
commanding the army Lord Wolssley
gets G4,500. The home secretary, Sir
Matthew White Ridley. has $4,000 in
salary. Despite the large figures given
above no one not even the archbishop
himself, can compare in his earnings
with those of a successful barrister.

Special Correspondence of the HERALD
WASHINGTON, D c., March IL
Washington is in trouble with another
big snow storm. A blizzard came out
OF the southeast, unheralded by any,
body save the faithful grounding, and
gave usa wholly unnecessary lot OF
enow Wednesday and Thursday, since
which it has been alternately thawing
and freezing until the streets are not

their eQuapimity yet. The cutters

as a sort OF glad surprise when he
breaks through.
1t Is up to the weather bureau to ex-
pain Why they allow such things and
why they can't predict them If they
must come. We are starting a local
bonn for the grounding as secretary
of agriculture. There are some few
feeble and half hearted arguments
against II, to bs sure, basel on the fact
tha. no grounding was ever known to
b, in a presidential cabinet yet, but
tina is really no valid reason. The
same thing.might be said of any new
net before. Ga the other hand there
is the indubitable. immutable fact that
the main function of the agricultural
department Is weather predictions anu
the fact that the grounding Is the only
really reliable prophet we have.
Wherefore as soon as the snow and
slush no longer cover his little bed,
we are going out and corral Mr.. Ground
hog, and thrust Office upon him.
