MODERN ENGLAND.

Contrasting the England Of today
with the England Of forty years
ago e. L. Godkin says in the New
York Evening Post: 1.-THE poor
man in England who had ever left
his home then was somewhat of a
prodigy; now nearly half Of his sub
stance goes in excursion fares. A
dissenting minister used to be an
object of adherence and contempt;
now he is quoted in parliament By
politicians. A lord used TO be an
object of dread and reverence; now
he is hardly better than foreign
count. In the England that / re-
member third class passengers on
the then newly built railroads stood
in boxes like cattle; now they sit on
cushioned seats, the third class cars
being so like the first class that the
gentry have largely taken to using
them. The loveliest parts of the
country at this summer season are
thronged with excursionists, and it
is fair to say that there are no lon
ger secluded spots in England"

Efeanora Duse, the famous Ital-
ian actress, is peculiarly nervous.
When she is not at rehearsals or
acting, she spends her time in per-
feet rest. She receives no one ex-
eept old friends and only few of
these. She has a lady companion,
who arranges her journeys and en-
cages rooms in the hotels. This
lady sees that Buses rooms are at
the back of the hotel and that, if
possible, they look out on a garden.
She cannot bear street sounds and
sights. The changing of train bell
sets her crazy. The furnishing Of
her rooms is important. There
must be no pictures or busts
about, nothing to disturb her high
ly wrought aesthetic sensibilities.
Everything must be serupulously
clean, severe, quiet. She never goes
out walking and is ridiculously care
less about her toilet and her per-
sonal appearance, except on the
stage.-Tit-B Bits.

MarIon,s Replv.

Marion is a winning little chat
terbox who has seen four summers,
and she displays marked aptitude
for learning the slang phrases and
words which she hears used by the
servants in the household or the
boys on the street. OF late her
chatter has been so literally inter
spersed with slang that her mother
decided some admonitien was necesa
sary. At the breakfast table the
other morning she said: marion,
you must stop using those slang
words. Do you understand me?'
"Sure, Mike" vas the prompt
but disconcerting feply.-Brooklyn

ALL OyeR THE HOUSE.
Opposition TO Evolution Of Home In
dusfries ls Useless.

Oppo9ltIon % EtoIufion OF rome IN
dustries Is Useless.
II IL Of course perfectly true that
with the existing appliances for
housekeeping it would often be in
convenient or impossible to alter
present methods in housework, and
that to purchase large amounts of
cooked food or to do away with the
services Of many housekeepers
would not be practicable until there
has been sufficient evolution in the
plan and equipment of the house
itself to adapt it to the new condi-
tons. That the tendency is to have
increased amounts of work done
outside the house is undeniable.
Laundry work and certain kinds of
cleaning and cooking are already
done by outside agencies in con-
stantly increasing amounts. They
are merely following the course OF
other household industries that left
the home roof earlier in the cen
tury-candle making, the curing of
meats, spinning, weaving, to a GER
tain extent sewing and many other
incipient industries that have now
become specialized and organized in
factories and shops on colossal
scale. How far this tendency of
having housework done by outside
agencies viii be carried is a disputed
question, but that the tendency ex-
lists and that it is in line with the
general course of industry cannot
be denied by the most conservative
homemakers. In so far as it 10 in
line with the general impulse by
which industrial and social forces
are shaping the world it is inevita-
BILE. Failure to recognize the tend
ency can only prolong present fric-
ton and discomfort; attempts to
thwart it can only end in ultimate
defeat.

A HeaIthfuI Tree.

DR.. Bentafield, who has lived for
twenty-seven years in Tasmania, as
cribes the healthfulness of that
island, where, according to his tes-
timony, consumption and bronchitis
are almost unknown, in large part
to the eucalyptus trees, whose odor
is everywhere apparent. The vola-
tile essence of the eucalyptus oil
appears to have an aseptic effect
upon deleterious germs of all kinds.
The trees sometimes attain great
size. One that has been measured
is $50 feet tall, and some are said
to attain a height of 400 feet.

A naughty Young Monarch,

Here is a story of the young king
of Spain calculated to make any
boy reader glad he is not a king:
"At recent function, in which only
young people joined, a pretty girl
of sixteen, who had danced several
times with little Alfonso, presented
her cheek to him for salute. In
stantly he Strengthened up and ex-
tended his hand to her. 4 don't
kiss girls he said; they kiss my
hand instead. am your king"

THE sABor POCKET.

made. The shape of sabot or a
Chinese shoe ION an enlarged scale)
can usually be cut without much
difficulty if one takes an ordinary
shoe or carpet slipper as a guide,
tapering off here and curving there.
The best way to begin is by cutting
out shoe pattern in brown paper.
This can be done by laying the
paper over a ready made shoe, if an
unmade carpet slipper is not at
land. The sole should be made of
cardboard covered with satin, and
the toepiece could be of fancy bro
cade or painted satin, bound with
ribbon or gathered through a
buckle. A pretty notion is bronze
shoe made of bronze colored satin
or satin and velvet.

NEGLECTED. Liberty.

Officers stationed on Bedloe's
island have asked General Brooke
to request that the base of the
statue of Liberty be finished or, at
least, put in respectable condition.
The statue is now cared for by the
war department, the treasury de-
partment and the lighthouse board,
and besides there is citizens COM
mittee which is supposed to be in
terested. As a result of this divided
responsibility, the statue has been
neglected sadly.

An italian chef derides the
American manner of preparing the
dressing for lettuce, by which a
goodly part of the oil and vinegar
Is left in the bottom of the dish.
His method is to put the salad in
the bowl and, turning the leaves
with one hand, cover them slowly
with oil with the other until every
leaf glistens. He then seasons them
with salt and pepper, adds a few
drops of vinegar, gives a last stir
and serves his salad at once.

CLAIM IT Is A
GAMBLING RESORT

George Lack, manager of the Manila
country club and well known in Homo
lulu, is having troubles of his own at
the Philippines capital. Charges heve
been made by many persons in Manila
that the club is a gambling resort ana
thai genuine sport cannot exist where
none but "sure-thing' men congregate.
The country club Is located at Maiate,
near the old fort which was taken by
the volunteer forces from the Spanish
troops in 1898, and from very small
beginning has become one of the Ct
fractions Of the city.
Lack was here In 1898 with Captain
Evans, one of the first men to assume
charge of the Spanish custom house at
Manila after the American occupation.
He came on the transport Arizona, now
the Hancock, and remained in the city
for several weeks while General King
was waiting for orders. Mr.. Lack oe-
came one of the chief men in the Gus
tom house, made money fast, and orig
MATED the country club idea. he
bought several fleet Manila ponies
which coined money for him. The CLUB
also numbers among its members Rus
sell Colegrove. who held premier place
lin the local courts for many months
while the Inflated steamship City oil
Columbia was at stake among many
claimants.
Legitimate sport was attempted BY
Lack In Manila but he seems to have
failed. Americans in Manila look upor
| the track at the present time as al
|eyesore. They see the names OF Amer
lean business men among the share
holders and are at a loss to know why
they do not turn the clique down wnt
are dallying with their names ant
running the future of the track.

AWAITS GRAND JURY.
Gill Shooting Case Postponed Until
Friday Morning.

The Gill shooting case came up before
Judge Wilcox in the police court yes
terday morning and was continued to
$3.50 o'clock Friday morning. Lorrin
Andrews, special attorney for the pros
ecution. said he had received tele-
phone message from Deputy Attorney
General Cathcart asking that the case
be continued for a few days, as the
Grand Jury would probably take up
the matter at once.
On account of this Mr.. Andrews asked
that the case go over to Monday. The
judge claimed that he had also receiv-
ed message from the Deputy Attor-
ney General and that he had interpret
ed the few days into two days and in
consequence would only grant that
length of time.
