COMFORT FOR THE AGED.

That many persons live in lOng-cOn-
tinued dread of landing in the poor
house is not to be doubted. That this
fear is wholesome is believed by some
and doubted by Others That it tends
to stimulate increased endeavor to
provide against restitution is obvious
ly true. A typical case of the way in
which life sometimes winds up in the
public refuge despite this fear is that
of an old truck gardener in the south
ern outskirts of Chicago whom the
County Agent has been urging to go to
the poOrhOuSe. He had seen better
days, but old age disabled him, his
wife died. the title to his little spot"
slipped into other hands, and, despite
his resolute determination never to
meet that fate, he has finally yielded,
or probably must yield, to the County
Agents solicitation. Some of the most
commendable instances of charity,
whether public or private, are those
devised for the aged poor, and especial
ly such as provide for aged couples to
live together instead of being separat-
ed as they are in the typical British
workhouse and in our own poorhouse.
OF this sort are the great Krupp works
in Essen, and some of the almshouses
maintained by some English towns,
and now and then by private charity
There is a sense of fitness in provisions
which allow destitute old couples who
have performed their work to complete
their days in peace together Such
provisions dignity human life, and
likewise human labor.

Lord ROsebt rvs Heir.

Lord Dalmeny Lord Rosebery's eld-

of humor, though in other respects,
he is singularly unlike his distin-
guished father. Big, strong, and ath-
ietic, he is fond of outdoor life and
field sports, is a first-class racquet
player, and much interested in racing.

Rosebery was to address the boys at

DRESS HAS THE ADVANTAGE.

1t may be unfortunate. but it is true,
that dress and manners count for
about as much as ability in the CAPT.
tails of Europe and South America. A
diplomat who is laughed at in society
can be of little use to his government
He loses much of the gossip heard in
ought to know, and he meets with
coldness instead of cordially at the
foreign office. The general character
of the United States representatives
abroad has been raised of recent years.
But congress has not yet appreciated
the value of the social standing of the
governments envoys.-Kansas City

THE AMBULANCE LAMP POST OF
PARIS

Paris has just been endowed with
several specimens of what is called a
''phare de secours," or first-aid light
house. 1t consists of an ornamental
bronze pillar about fifteen feet high,
with round, overhanging top resem-
bling that of a lighthouse, and con-
tanning a clock face barometer and
three transparent pictorial advertise
ments, revolved by clockwork and
lighted by gas from within. In the
base of the pillar is a letter box, and
in the shaft is folding stretcher, with
printed directions for affording first
aid to the injured. In case of street
accident the stretcher can be immedi-
ately obtained by breaking small
glass window just above the letter box,
taking out the key, and unlocking the
receptacle.

following way: The whip was taken
every Palm Sunday by man from

There had been many changes in
the neighborhood during her abb

mother Owings' old-fashioned flower

lilies used the dividing driveway in
common. Down this driveway, sew
eral times each day, an athletic young
man was wont to go, laden with golf
sticks, riding a wheel, armed with gun
or fishing tackle, or erect upon the
back of spirited black horse, which
from the first had been Fifine's es-
pecial detestation. AS in another
