rose or surly in his looks, and still less
in his disposition; the temper of a bully
was utterly alien from him, and he was
always cheerful and gay.
He was one of the best runners in
the school, and many time have l
seen him in the quadrangle just before
"hare and hounds"-he being one Of the
hares-lightly clad, and with bag OF
scent strapped around him.
He was too keen-eyed and observant
to be specially popular, but all the
small boys liked him because he was
kind and friendly to them. He reach
ed the sixth form, but left before he
had risen high in it, feeling, no doubt,
that his work lay elsewhere.

but finally a small gum was set apart
to carry it out. The advertisement was
drafted in an attractive way and the
people soon began to buy the new ar
ticle. Finally the house was obliged
to send to the manufacturers for more.
When the next seasons trade opened,
the member of the firm who had most
opposed the experiment whispered to
the young man that he had better write
out few notices land put them in the
papers" From such beginnings the
advertising practice has come. Thous-
ands Of dollars are now spent, not only
in advertising itself, but in devising
clever catch-words, ingenious phrases
and illustrations which will stick in the
memory Of the reader, as well as new
general methods. No doubt money may
be wasted in ineffective advertising, or
in advertising worthless goods. But
on the other hand, fortunes are made
where there Is in an article happy
union between publicity and merit.

As Result of Which Princess Beat
rice Is in France.
1t would appear from reports cabled
to the metropolitan newspapers that
there is dscord in the family of the
late Queen Victoria. The cause OF the
quarrel is the greed Of the widowed
Princess Beatrice, the youngest daugh-
ter, whose husband, Henry Of Batten-
berg, died in Africa in 1896. 1t seems
that the sprig of royalty, who since her
husbands death has lived at Osborne
cottage, close to Osborne house on the
Isle of Wight, has removed from the
latter place to her own home various
articles of great value, including some
priceless china, and also annexed parts
of the grounds of the Queens estate
to her own property. During the life
of the Queen there was no open rupture
between brothers and sisters, but with
in the past few months criticism Of her
acts have so enraged the Princess that
she has sought sympathy and refuge

Thomas Arnold, Jr., was at Rugby
when Thomas Hughes, the Tom Brown
of the school life, was pupil there,
and in Passages in a Wandering
Life" gives his recollections of the
boys hero.
Tom Hughes at fifteen was tall for
his age; his long, thin face, his sandy
hair, his length of limb and his spare
frame gave him a lankiness of aspect
which was the cause, suppose, of the
boys giving him the extraordinary
nickname Of "executioner"
No name could be less appropriate,

Rattlesnake Pete'a Curious Outfits

Peter Gruber, of Canandaigua, N. Y,
whose fad is rattlesnakes, has a new
suit made entirely of rattlesnake skins.
The coat, vest, trousers, hat, shoes,
necktie and gloves are all made of the
skins of these reptiles. The buttons
are made from the rattles; the scarfpin

Mr.. Gruber, or "Rattlesnake Pete" as
he is known, says New York World

There is just one remedy for lynching
and it is idle to talk of any other. The
communities that are the victims Of
one particular crime must be taught
not by precept, but by unvarying exam

through the agencies of justice. In de-
fault of that assurance, made doubly

Prof. Gautier Of the Institute of
France has isolated the bacteria Of
physical fatigue" and finds It a poison
strongly resembling ptomaine poison in
nature" Instead Of really becoming
tired one develops ptomaines and they
make him think he is tired. The pro-
fessor's next step is strictly logical.
He proposes by the use of disinfect-
ants to destroy the ptomaines general
ed and thns avoid that tired feeling.
In this way, no longer suffering from
wear and tear. man need neither weak
en- nor age. Suppose the professor had
a cord of wood to saw. AS he pro-
ceeds to wiggle the bucksaw up and
down, he suddenly detects the effects
Of ptomaine poison in his system. He
PUSHES to a little cavity In the wood
pile and drags therefrom small bottle
of disinfectant with which he treats
the ptomaiDes, thus relieving his ia
tigue. AS we read the professors the
DRY and remedy given in a recent num-
Der of the London Express, we detect
the Development OF ptomaines in our
system.

Of an ordination servicve in which he

their Joy and their congratulations to

1.-THE greatest menace to the morality
of both rich and poor in New York is
the fact that it is a city of flats and
tenements and not city of homes"
This is a remark of an expert from the

investigating the conditions of living
among New York working people.
Yesterday" he went on to say, II
found the family of skilled mechanic,
consisting of eleven persons, living in
four rooms. That is indecent. There can
be no privacy in such conditions, and
without privacy there can be no civil

ing libraries to build model tenements

"God Pity the Idlers" was the title
of poem which appeared in many OF
the papers of the country recently. 1t
was written by Samuel NJ. Jones and
dedicated to the workers of the world.
More truth runs through this little
poem than Is found in thousands OF
sermons. More gold Of thought is lock
ed within it's lines than resides in
scores of sheep-bound books. The
jetsam and the hotsam of the lines is
a prayer for pity from God for the
Idlers, and earth knows no greater OBJ
ject for commiseration. The Idler does
not live. He exists like the stone in
the field or scum on the swamp. He
is below the horse in dignity. The OK
exceeds him in worth. Even the pes
tiferous mosquito is deserving Of more
consideration than the Idler, for the
mosquito at least possesses the virtue
of keeping busy and doinng something.
This insect may be q nuisance to hui
manity, but 1t atones In a degree by
being a consumer of carrion and a
sucker of dead blood. The Idler cannot
claim even these commendable quail
ties. He will not consume carrion. He
must have the same to eat as other peo-
pie, but other people must earn 1t for
him. No dead blood satisfies him. He
must have the living article and he
gets it by making others sweat 1t in
order to support him. The Idler is a
IA III oJ G0.Y
pity him, too, for his sense of apprecia-
ton of the equation of life has sunk so
low that he cannot see his degradation
nor feel his reeking shame. He Is suf-
fering from a paralysis Of heart, a par
alysis Of mind, and a paralysis of de-
cent feeling that makes his existence
tolerable~ only when we share Gods
pity and drown our indignation in the
injunction Ito love thy neighbor as
myself" But how different the pic
ture Of the Laborer! He Is a co-worker
of God rolling out mans destiny, liv
ing the tragedy of humanity and build
ing the fate Of the world. The angels
in heaven must be envious of the La
borer on earth and his God-given mis-
sion. His is the work Of sustaining
the human race. His the work to
build the homes and maintain the ma
ton. His the work to make life worth
living and death worth the embracing
when work can be done no more. His
the work to wiring from the earth the
money that builds the schools, the
churches and the hospitals. His the
work to wear the crown of King Of
Men, for the Laborer is King. All men
depend upon him for their subsistence.
His reign will never cease, because his
services are Indispensable and he
serves all men. With bravery has he
accepted this mission. With fOrtitude
has he fulfilled it. With courage will
he continue to carry it's cross and to
wear its crown of thorns. God pity
the Idlers! They need His pity in the
misery of their droneful life. They eat
other mems bread and spend other
mems money, because no one can live
without money and no one can get
money without earning it unless some
one else earns it without getting it.
God pity the Idlers.

REPLY OF THE COURT
Bill of Objections Filed Against the
Exceptions of Schley.
PRINCIPAL POINTS.
First. the Decision Was Unanimous;
Second, Schley's Evidence, and
Third, There Is No Ground
for Reopening the Case.

Washington. Dec. 23.--Judre Adyo-
cate Lcmly and Solicitor Hanna late
Friday submitted to Secretary Long
their report upon the bill Of objections
filed by Admiral Schley through his
counsel to the findings Of the Schley
court Of inquiry. In substance the re-
port is an argument supplementary to
the argument made by the writer's be-
fore the court Of inquiry.
The principal points arc an insist
ence upon their contention that the
first report is the unanimous report
Of the court Of Inquiry: that the court
was justified in rejecting Admiral
Schley's evidence by the number OF
witnesses who took issue with him,
and that there is not sufficient reason
for a rc-openiug of the case as request
ed by Admiral Schloy.
The report is lengthy. and covers all
points made in Schley's protest It
starts out this way:
1T is somewhat difficult to deal with
Admiral Schleys bill OF exceptions on
account Of its general and nOn-spccific
character and sweeping though unsup-
plicQnt and his counsel that. In their
judgment. the adverse findings Of the
court are not justified by the evidence.
The papers might be dismissed as sim
ply a not unexpected expression Of dis
satisfaction with an adverse Judgment,
