THE BAR SINISTER.

Well known auctioneers are about to offer for sale ''the patent of nobility granted by Charles IT creating his son by Nell Gwynne the Duke of St Al bans" The patent is written on vel lum, having a broad illuminated border with portrait of Charles IT and the arms of England. Scotland and Ireland
 The Duke of St Albans might be ex- pected to be an eager bidder for this compromising document, with the ob- ject of withdrawing it from further circulation, but tour old no bility," who have royal blood without royal rank. seldom show any desire to erase the bars sinister from their coat of-arins. They have. of course, little chance of escaping the facts, even ii theyLwould for the candid Burke makes unblushing disclosure of their roman tic ancestfy9i He records that the first Duke ofiSt Albans was the illegitimate son of alCharles II by "Eleano1 Gwynne," and that his royal father not only made him duke, but also cor stituted him hereditary registrar of the court of chancery and master falconel of England, offices that his successors bear to this day.
 The Genealogical Magazine not long ago published list of no fewer thar 311 descendants of Charles and Mel Gywnne. who called the king hel Charles III, to indicate that there hal been others. Among these descendant. are the Countess of Warwick Lord Rosslyn and the Duchess of suther land. A r

OLD AGE PENSIONS.

Old age pensions are advocated in various parts of the world. We have sometimes wondered what the result would be if in the United States all bel efits and all charities were pooled and distributed to all men and women past sixty-ive years of age. There certainly would be enough to give ev- eryone considerable retiring allowance
 Suppose the $40, ,O00, GOO given to the soldiers and their dependents, all the money expended in homes of many kinds for aged people, and all the oth- CT allowances made by individuals, corporations or charitable societies, were evenly distributed, would there not be enough to keep every man and woman from suffering? If such gen. eral distribution were made to all persons of the requisite age, there would be no unpleasant distinction be- tween giver and recipient. The old age pension means simply trust or combination in charities, and is one of the things which is almost certain to come, because 1t will save money and add something to the dignity and comfort of human life.-Christian Reg iSter TT N Ir

The United States finds themselves occupying a position in the industrial world to maintain which they must produce more cheaply than they have ever done before, says q writer named Hatch in the New England Engineer ing magazine. Production has So. far exceeded the requirements for home consumption that they are compelled to go into the foreign markets with their product and meet the foreign .manufac- turer on his own ground. Having once started in this direction they are com pelled to continue or suffer and indus trial depression. This is point which should be brought home to the Amer stand the circumstances under which his employer is working and regulate his demands accordingly. As before stated. the controlling question is sim ply one of cheap production, and the capitalist has very wisely decided to accomplish that object by curtailing expenses at the general-expense end first. By the consolidation of business interests much lower ratio of general expense results, consequently less ne- eessity for reducing workmen's wages i'll order to meet competition success fully in foreign markets. Workers wages should be the last thing to be touched unless they are glaringly out of proportion.

William J. Bryan said a very sensl- ble thing, yesterday, when he replied to somebody at Chillicothe, Mo-, who asked him if he would be candidate for a presidential nomination in 1901: ''I have said, repeatedly, that l am candidate for no office. However, l would not enter into q bond never to become candidate. It would be fool ish in any man to announce his can didacy for such an office at such time, and it strikes me as foolish question to be continually put to me by the newspapermen." - Hartford Times.
 Those people who are bounding him to death to declare himself must be very dense or they can now under stand where he stands. If the news papers keep him before the public, and the democratic, party concludes ii wants him. as its standard bearer again, he might not object, all of which is not pleasing to the Times,

HOW TO GO TO SLEEP.

l will describe my system for going asleep. It is founded on the Yoga breathing and I learned of it through a Hindoo whom 1 met during my self imposed cultivation of curves. After my toilet for the night was completed l stood before an open window and practiced deep breathing for about five minutes. Then I would go to bed and lie in an easy, relaxed posi- tion. Mentally l was at peace with the world.
 1t is an extraordinary thing that once one makes up his mind to be blissfully inaccessible to vexation and fretfulness these disagreeable sensa- tions actually cease to exist for him. At this time I would close the left nostril by. placing the third finger upon it and breathe through the right long breath, exhale through the left quickly. Then breathe through the left and exhale through the right quickly, and so on, closing the nostrils alternately, and causing the motion of the air through them to the first in- halation and then exhalation.
 After few moments practice of this breathing, one falls into a de licious sleep, and in little time one learns how to control the breath so there is no necessity of closing the nostril by the pressure of the finger. Readers who discredit this statement are asked to experiment themselves and write me the results. It is impera- itive if the subject would succeed that | she relaxes her body, dispels her mind l of all cares and troubles and breathes continually in the way described. I conquered cancellation on the plan I have attempted to explain. I con quered tendency to constant worry at the same time and when a little

ROBERT LINCoLN'SADvENTURE.


 While my brother-in-law, Mir Boyn- ton, was in the hardware business in Springfield, Lincoln's son Robert, then Q boy of 10 or 12, entered the store one day with another boy of his own age. The lads had quantity of lead pipe, which they wished to sell. A bargain was made and the money paid over to the boys, with no questions asked. Later in the day, however, Mir Lincoln was visited at his home by the owner of house which was undergoing re- paifs and informed that his son Rob- ert had stolen quantity of lead pipe from the place, which the owner de- sired to either have paid for or re- turned.
 MT Lincoln was. shocked. He called Robert, and; without asking any ques- tons, took the boy by the arm and marched him down to the store. When they entered Mr Lincoln was looking very stern.
 Mir Boynton,' said he, did my son Robert sell you some lead pipe to-dayY
 My brother-in-law was greatly em- barrassed. Everybody in Springfield knew Abraham Lincoln. His honesty and integrity were never questioned, and the idea that his son would steal was highly improbable. MT Boynton AAeteA, AAO ONCfCl, OGGA AOlluGQA III SOulC manner that the pipe was stolen prop erty. Nevertheness he did not want to duplicate the son of Abraham Lin coin, so he said:
 Ahem!-er--well, MT Lincoln, let me see. No; don't think it was your boy who brought that pipe here. He | don't look like the boy
 There was tin shop at the rear of the store, and just as my brother-in- law was congratulating himself that young Lincoln would get out of the scrape the sharp voice of the tinsmith exclaimed:
 "'Yes 'tis, too. That's the chap that Lincoln boy, and another one about his size. l remember 'em.'
 MT Lincoln drew out his pocket book and laid bill upon the counter. Please let me have that pipe, MT Boynton,' he said
 The pipe was accordingly brought out MT Lincoln placed it across Rob- ert's shoulders. The two then left the store.
 It was an extremely hot day, and Robert Lincoln was barefooted. The store stood i'll sort of square, which was paved with brick These bricks had become heated by the sun and produced an uncomfortable feeling to Roberts feet, as his father.s with long strides, led him across the square. Tho boy danced along, first on one foot and then on the other. Suddenly he ex- | clained:
 Say, pa, I can't stan these hot bricks on my bare feet. Les git over Ill the shade.' | si igisg.96 | u3gts1
 Lincoln senior loaked down at the boy with quizzical smile, then drlls replied:
 | Well, my son. you'd better get used to the heat If you ever ssteal any more lead pipe you'll go to a place that's hotter than these bricks are. e.'''- Leslie's Popular Monthly.

 In a long article on music in the church Louis c. Bison in the Interna- tional Monthly says that the question of what the ideal musical church ser vice should be, is not to be answered offhand, but surely some points of guidance may be gathered from the historical facts already cited. In the first place, the musical church service of the future should free itself from all letters of prejudice, and admit every form of musical art that has been used successfully by any denomination whatever. The boy choir should not be suffered to be a matter of creed nor the orchestra to remain almost entirely a Catholic institution, so far as the church service is concerned. An eclectic system of church music should be evolved, in which every ele- ment above described might be free to enter in, according to the exigencies of the occasion, and limited only by the size of the edifice, of the congrega- ton, or its purse. Naturally, the Catholic mass. as q whole, could not enter into the Protestant church, for 1t is fitted closely to its own ritual but certain of it's chief numbers could be employed, if given a good English paraphase. The mighty choral should be assiduously cultivated. If every service contained at least one broad chorus of dignIfled character of "Si Ann's. 1t would be good corrective for much of the jingly music that' op tains in the United States

HEARD IN PASSING

We feel certain that the alleged Ger man and Russian pressure on England to bring about peace in South Africa is very slight.
 Even the British government ought to know that suppressing news of the Boer war isn't good way to inspire public confidence.
 Our. tariff was made to protect our interests, but some of our editors seem to think that Germany hasn't the right to make q tariff on the same principle.
 Somebody in China must be envious of Minister Wu's success as a public speaker, as there is talk of sending q new Chinese minister to the United States.
 There's a fresh scare in New Eng land on account of the danger of con tracting disease by handling paper money. but it hasn't been great enough to cause anybody ito refuse paper mcney.
 The czar of Russia and the sultan of Turkey have been having one of their periodical talking scraps. The latter is never out-talked, but in the end he always have to give in, or at least make pretense of doing so.
 The distinguished officers comprising the Schley court of inquiry will do well to extract all the satisfaction pos sible out of the general press com mepdation of them, as they may find change of tune after they render an opinion and make recommendations. Carrie Nation is out of jail in Kansas | and is to be allowed to pay her fine of | $150 in installments of five dollars a month. She was not anxious to get out of limbo, and at first refused to | leave unless her fines were remitted. | But the county authorities at Topeka were evidently desirous of getting rid of her, and so they offered her cut rates.-Hartford Times.

HOW SHE BREATHEs ON BOARD

A woman whom I was sitting next to at dinner the other day told me that she had remedy for seasickness. She had been very bad sailor, and even now if she does not practice her rem edy she is sick; whereas when she does, she can negotiate comfortably a storm of four or five hours on the high seas It is simple enough. As tine yes sel dips she draws in her breath; as ii rises she expels it. Whether this wo- mans internal arrangements are pc culiar to herself do not know, but il not the remedy seems to me wortf knowing. London Truth.

X Chicago street railway Tcompany owning 210 miles aof track offers to pave every street it occupies from curb to curb with the best material If the city will renew its franchise, which expires in 1903. This is a hopeful in dication that the custom of giving away public franchises is going out of fashion. It seems incredible that American cities have so long been con- tent to give up their streets to traction companies without compensation there for.-New London Globle.
 Lucky Chicago. Some of the Con- necticut cities would be pleased to have the trolley companies do, small part of that. As it. .lis the railway people have the streets, and the munl- cipalites get very little recompense. What q change would be made if the giving of these franchises were to be started over again.
