University Of Chicago economists
who have figured that man and his
wife can live with great frugality on
$500 year are dIstaneed by the record
OF ex-Judge William Cole Talcot, Of
Valparaiso, Ind. That aged jurist has
for several years lived with his wife at
total expense for both Of them for
food 0fAot more than 81 a week, or $o2
for the year. And In spite Of this both
are now in the best of health, declare
that they never felt better nor could
work better In their lives, and believe
that they have solved the problem Of
happiness and health in resortlng TO
the plainest Of plain living. Though
nearly 81 years old Judge Talcot works
daily In a garden near his house or
about the house itself, is never ILL., and
is apparently as strong as most men
who are not within score Of years Of
his age. And Mrs. Talcot, not quite
ten years his junior though snowy
white of hair, has as fresh a color in
her cheeks as a girl of 10, and does
every day all the housework about
their home.
Though the diet on which this Is ac-
compllshed will appear TO many people
barren of everything that makes the
table attractive, yet the two who have
long made IT their own declared that
desire for other things quickly disap-
peared when they resorted TO It, and
that they neither want nor need addi
tlons 10 It. The rule of their table pro.
vides In general that their meals shall
consist chiefly Of cereal products with
milk and sugar They eat generally
for breakfast oatmeal mush and milk
and sugar For dinner bread and milk
and sugar, and for supper cornmeal
mush and sugar. They vary this
slightly from time 10 time with other
cereal foods. and when they feel a
taste for it add bit of meat, for neith-
er is strict vegetarian.

Educational Advantages Of Pets.

In accepting the election to The Board
Of Directors of the Animal Rescue
League of Boston, the Rev. Edward
Everett Hale proposed that every
schoolroom in Boston be supplied with
pets, and recommended for the purpose
cats, dogs and rabbits. He said that nj
least fifteen cats slept under his yerail-
da every night and emphasized the
need of teaching children kindness 10
animals. OF fifty Sunday school emil
dren to whom he spoke recently he
said only three owed cats, and only
one a dog. He ascribed this condition
TO crowded tenement house living. 1t
was his opinion that no philanthropist
could do better than to establish rab-
bit farm in connection With each pub
lie school.
1t is not infreQuent to find turtles
and other pets that are easy to care for
in the schoolrooms Of this city. In
Boston, however. 1t is said that frogs
are frequently kept. being often raised
from the first stage of their existence.
One teacher took in a hen that was al
lowed to hatch her chickens before the
pupils. In other rooms there are aqua
RUINS, birds and boxes with rabbits.

A MONUMENT FOR ROBERT E. LEE.

1t is not conceived that any man.
North, South, East or West, through
out the tremendous length and breadth
Of the United States, would frOwn
upon or even fail to sympathizc with
a movement to celebrate the memory
Of Robert T.. Lee. There was Il man
who contained wit hin him self every
element of a noble hcroism. Pure
minded, generous, chivalric, brave,
and gentle, he was yet man Of
strenuous action, the soldier, the
commander and the war god. If he
ever harbored mean thought or
committed a mean act his most in
dustriOus critic has failed to mention
it. If he was ever other than the
gentleman, the Christian, and the
ideal soldier, the closest students Of
his record do not know it to this day.
II he had a fault it was that OF sell
abnegatiOn. If he had a weakness it
was that Of mercv and passion
His life makes a stainless and SPLEEN
did page in history. He showed the
world that a puissant soldier could
be pitifu and kind as an angel He
showed the world that a very lord OF
battle could be innocent and stainless
in his private life. If in modern
times there has been developed the
prototype Of Tennyson ; Sir Galahad,
we find it in the character and career
Of Lee. He met Grants magnificent
strategy and imperious attack with a
genius and fOrtitudc which pro-
vokcd the admiration Of all Christen.
dom. He met Grants splendid mag
nanimity at AppomattoN with an
eager heroism and patient resignation
beyond all words. He should have a
monument if nobility Of character
and splendor Of courage and magnif-
iccncc Of devotion are entitled TO
recognition by brave men. 1t should
be the pride Of every one to aid in so
high a cause.-W Washington POST

THE CASE OF ROBERTS.

The precedent of refusing to seat
man of whose dull conducted election
there is no doubt, and who possesses
the qualifications prescribed by the
Constitution. is one fraught with pos
sibilities Of great danger. There is
no telling when, or upon how critical
an occasion, it may be used to over
throw the verdict of the people, and
give. the control of the House to
party which has not won at the cleo
ton. We have seeA no respectable
argument advanced in favor of such
a procedure. The only argument that
has been seriously put forward-for
the exclusion of Roberts has, in the
main, been urged as a matter of senti-
ment, not of reason and constitutional
rights one which, rightly consid-
cred, is an argument on the other
side. baltimore News.
