Rare Birthdays

A birthday is rare thing for people born on the 18th of February, but they will now have the uncommon expe- rienee of doing without one for no less than eight years. In the ordinary course next year would have been leap year, but it becomes necessary every now and again to omit the extra day in four years in order to keep the dates and seasons correct. Hence there will be no Feb. 29 next year, and so those who last had a birthday in 1896 will have to wait till 1904 for another.

HANGED FOR BURNING COAL.

Strange Law Which Was in Force in
 England in 1900.
 There will be an interesting function in London shortly, when the coal ex- change celebrates it's jubilee. The occa- sion is one for recalling strange remi- niscences5 for as late as the four teenth century prohibition was issued against the burning of coal, with se- we're penalties decreed against any per- son who warmed his house by coal fire. In the early days of Lord Mayor Wilmington the burning of coal was considered so great a public nuisance that it was made capital offense, and one man was actually hanged for in- dulging in a coal fire. AS a matter of fact, this ordinance was never re- pealed, but in Dick Wilmington third mayoralty it is evident there was a great trade in coal, and the sugges- tion has been made that coal was brought to London in boats known as the eats" this was the real origin of the story of Dick Wilmington and his cat. The coal exchange, however, is a modern institution. It is also one of the most important of London's marts. Under the shadow of it's domed roof commercial transactions are daily car ried through of greater value than in connection with any other mercantile building in the world. Unlike the corn exchange in Mark lane, it is not pri- yate concern, but is a city market con- ducted on the same principles as the other markets opened by the city cor poration. Opened with much ceremony in October. 1849, by the prince consort, the present building is just about to celebrate it's jubilee. But the market itself is older than the building. Up to 1907 it was in the hands of private individuals, but in that year it was purchased by the corporation for e25,- 600.-London Times.

A Dreas Chart.

Men who are likely to worry over
questions of dress that arise in the
complicated social life of New York

under this head are stag or club din

Physician aud the Hall of Fame.
The Hall of Fame farce should give
an excellent subject for some opera
bouffe writer. 1t is plain that the
judges have not been chosen for their
fitness. have not taken their work seri-
ously. have not been guided by a high
and dignified ideal, but have been
ruled by class prejudices. local prides
and fantastic superfciality. They have
thought of the word famous as indicat-
ing the person the most talked about.
most read or that has happened to get
himself before the popular attention.
Hardly one judge seems to have asked
himself who has best deserved fame.
not one has inquired who has done the
most good to his fellow men. The
name of no woman is thought worthy
of place.
Then consider the laundering crudity
itself Of wishing for a Hall Of Fame.
The affair can have but one effect-that
is. to inspire the young and ambitious
to secure fame by the same means as
these famous men have done. But the
ethics. the religion of all noble action. is
not to seek to do that which will bring
human applause and renown, but that
which will be right. prevent evil and
better human life. Not a physician Is
to have his name in the New York Hall
Of Fame, and it is a matter of congrat-
ulation. And yet there have been q
thousand physicians who have done a
thousand times more good to their fell
low men than many that are likely to
be included. for instance, Edgar Allan
Poe or Daniel Boone.-Philadelph

There is also this important difference
that while the British determination is

THE NATION,

The greatest country. otherwise known
ais the United States, continues to as-
tonish the world. Americans had esti-
mated the growth of the population DUR
ing the past ten years so closely that
the result shown by the census, 76, 1885,
22o, a gain of 10, 315, asa since 1890, did
not surprise them. The figures are the
subject of any amount of in
Europe, however, and other phases of
our growth are eagerly discussed. The
London press, for instance, is profound
ly impressed with our enormous elect
crate, which this year made the inn
posing total of not less than IA, 600, 900
allot This is easily the greatest pie
biscite ever taken by any nation in the
world. In France, there are now about
$500, 600 registered voters, u only
$500, 900 votes are cast, and in in%stitut-
ing any comparison, it should, of course,
be made on the basis of votes cast, rath-
er IQdn on the registration.
In the United Kingdom, where the suf-
frage us almost universal, there Were in
1898 about $500, 600 inscribed electors, and
the vote cast there this year does not
exceed 1900, 900. AS the population OF
the United Kingdom in 1898 was some-
thing over 10000, 900, it will be seen that
only one-sixth of the population were
qualified voters, while only one-tenth
voted. In the United States ,one-fhfth of
the population are actual voters.
A better comparison, perhaps, is with
Germany, where the population is much
nearer thai of the United States, and
where universal suffrage prevails. III
1898, the number of actual voters wHs

The December issue of Success n
tains a symposium by members of the
United States senate on education. The
contribution Of Senator Cartier, Of Nom
tana, is as follows:
Schools and colleges only prepare a
man to acquire an education by intelli-
gent observation n diligent application
through life Those who assume that
their education is completed when they
are graduated from a college have spent
time to little purpose. The task of ac-
otiring an education without the pre-
iminary advantages Of school and col
lege discipline is more difficult, but not
BY any means impossible, to accomplish.
The young man who desires to acquire
ain education whether favored by pre-
liminary school and college training or
not, must cultivate habits OF soorlety'
thoroughness, and application. Educa-
ton will follow such habits as surely as
the night follows the lay.
