1t is the duty of a pedestrian to keep
upon the sidewalk save when it is nec-
essary to cross the roadway, and then
to cross at an opportune moment and
with reasonable expedition. 1t is, nev-
ertheless, equally the duty of those in
charge Of vehicles, however propelled,
to restrain them within reasonable
speed, to keep them under constant
control and steerage way and to exer-
else all possible diligence in avoiding
collisions. They are as much bound to
look out for pedestrians at the cross
walks as pedestrians are to look out for
them. They are as much bound to
slacken their speed to avoid collision
as the pedestrian is to quicken his. II
is in fact far easier for the men on the
vehicles to keep their eyes on the pc
destrians and avoid running them
down than it is for the pedestrians to
keep theirs on the multitude of vehi-
cles which may be conyerging upon
them from different directions. Simply
ringing the gong is not enough. "Caveat
pedes" is not the only rule of the road

HOW TO CHOOSE BEEF.

Household Purvey0r.

Rulcs That May Be of Value to the
Household Purveyor.
Let US imagine ourselves before q
butchers block having on it four pieces
of beef presenting faces from the round
or sirloin, says The Woman's Home
Companion. One is dull red, the lean
being close grained and the fat very
white. The next is dark red, the lean
loose grained and sinewy and the fat
white and shining. The third is dull
red, the lean loose grained and sin-
envy and the fat yellow. The fourth is
bright cherry red, the lean smooth and
medium grained, with f1ecks Of white
through it, and the fat creamy, neither
white nor yellow.
The first of these is cow beef, the
second bull beef, the third beef from
an old or i'll conditioned animal, and
the last is OK beef. Ok beef-that
from steer-is the juiciest, finest fla
yored, sweetest and most economical
to buy of all beef 1t is called prime
when the lean is very much mottied
with the white fat fecks. and when it
is from heavy young animal {abeut
4 years old stall fed on corn. Beef
from a young COW that has been well
fed and fattened Is next in merit to OK
beef. Beef from an unmatured animal
Is never satisfactory, being tough and
juiceless. 1t may be easily recognized.

total Of $270, 900 00O at the very moment when it
is reasonably certain that if ships cannot now be
built and operated by us as cheaply as by any
other people the time is not far distant when they
can be SO built and operated do not blame the
shipping industry for making the most OF this op-
portunity which has been rendered them. Lord
Give, after the battle of Plassey, was taken into
the treasure vaults at Moorshedabad by the nabob
his victory had raised to the throne and there
walking between heaps Of gold and silver, crown
ed with rubies and diamonds, told to help
himself. He accepted between e200,0J and $780,
600.
Many years later in England undergoing exam
ination before parliamentary committee, he was
reproached for this act and exclaimed: by God!
Mr.. Chairman, at this moment l stand astonished
at my own moderation"
When remember that this bill framed
by those who to be benefited by it, at the in
Hitation of the leaders of the Republican party,
and that that invitation equivalent to throw
ing the treasury of the nation open to them and
inviting them to help themselves, we. in consid-
ering its provisions. may well be astonished at
their moderation, although, whereas Lord Give
helped himself to only million dollars, they
have provided for helping themselves to two hun
dred and seventy millions. But the treasury OF
the United States to the treasury of Beneal is as
the sea to an insignificant riyulet, and in this
there are many Lord Olives to be provided for. To
complete the picture we must have nabob Of
| Bengal, recently crowned and DRINK with power,
but still grateful for assistance to open the doors
| of the treasure vaults and have that indi
vidual personifed in the Republican party. But
| as Gives nabob of Bengal did not last long on
the throne, neither will the Republican party if
it INDUCES to any great extent in legislation such
| as that which we find in this bill.
Ship Subsidy Bill.
But Notwithstanding Turner's great
| speech and Vests great speech and
all the other great speeches that have
been and will be delivered against the
ship subsidy bill, that infamo..s and
colossal steal is absolutely certain to
become law of the land either ut
this session or at an extra session to
| be called for that purpose. The men
who put up the Doodle for the last
presidential election and the one be-
fore are determined to have their
pound of flesh. They have the country
| by the throat and will never release
their hold until they get this $780,
100000 and several other grabs of like
| amount.

HOW TO PROPOSE.

First drop mamma, for you must be alone;
A man can't pop before a chaperon.
Then choose site--the yard is just the place,
Beneath the Chinese lanterns magic blaze
But II the band is playing Rag Time Lou,'
And II the crowd all "rubberneck" at you,
Then take her somewhere where the light is dim
Take her to Beck or even to the gym.
When you have found site, ask her to sit
VITA you and watch the juicy June bug fit,
Or spring some other like poetic thought,
For BY poetic words they oft are caught.
Recite to her some drip about the moon,
That great round orb that loyeth those who spoon
And speak Of love, Of ceaseless love galore,
But do not speak Of those you've loved BEFORE
Then cast few deep breathings on the air,
Put on look OF seeming sad despair
And cry aloud: my college life is done.
I've got to face this cruel world alone.
Alone have to face its fearful knocks,
With none so poor to mend my holey socks.''
And then, II she's the girl she ought to be,
She'll shyly mutter, ''Well, what's wrong with
mef'

For 80 years or more l had known
myself to be an honest man. 1 mean
that had never wronged fellow man
out Of SO much as a penny, though
had had hundreds of opportunities. In
my business dealings I had been abso-
lutely square if not little too liberal,
and in private life had gone out of
my way to prove my integrity. 1 had
found umbrellas and journeyed half
way across London to restore them. /
had found small sums of money and
paid for the advertising out of my own
pocket. had taken in homeless dogs
and fattened them up and sent them
home in cabs. I had been cheated in
buying a cob, but in selling him again
l had pointed out the spavins. l had
bought South African stocks at 80 and
sold them at 100, though the market
price was 110. In buying and over
hauling an old cabinet had found pa
pers Of value and restored them with
out demanding reward.
1t never occurred to me to pat myself
on the back for an honest man, but in
a general way realized that was

THE DRESS MODEL.

Yellow brocadc, craped satin and silk
or satin matelasse will be fashionable op-
era and balloon fabrics this winter.
A new twilled cloth, slightly rough of
surface, manufactured for the making Of
smart travelling and Walking costumes,
resembles the weave Of French yicuna.
The autumn will bring Il great many
handsome full length wraps and num-
ber of half length, thrce-quarter and
jacket styles, reaching a few inches be-
low the waist and yariously shaped and
adjusted.
Shepherds checked taffetas, in hand
some color blendings suitable to the sea-
son, will be revived for the making of
shirt waists to wear beneath short, open
jackets Of plain or fancy wool autumn
suitings and for Innings, vests, yokes and
separate waists.
Hats to be worn with youthful cos
tunes of tweed and cheviot this fall are
Ladysmith models of rough felt Sanglier
felts they are called. Upon them quills
of brilliant gladiolus red OF equally bril-
liant nasturtium yellow velvet.
A new English walking jacket Is cut
with short rounded skirt fronts and fas-
tens diagonally across the chest. Be-
meath this is a close fitting vest of pale
tan cloth covered with braid work on sill
yer and brown soutachc, running side by
side and fastened with rocco buttons of
medium size.
The fancy for combining blue with GER
tain shades of green still prevails, though
it has been worn so much that many have
tired of it. The newer rhododendron
blending of pink and blue is apt to form
mauvc and is therefore not generally be-
coming, though much adlnircd on those
who are fair enough to wear it.
Handsome qualities of light weight ve-
netian cloth in blues, pansy and rich fruit
colors, including rcd, will be much used
for the first wool costumes of next sea-
son. They are extremely plain in effect
except the red suits, which are trimmed
with ilounces edged with narrow folds of
velvet of deeper shade.-New York

a woman.

In herself she dwellcth not.
Although no home were half so fair.
No simplest duty is forgot,
Life hath no dim and lowly spot
That doth not in her sunshine share.
She doeth little kindncsscs
Which most leave undone or dcspise,
For naught that sets one heart at ease
And giyeth happiness or peace
Is low esteemed in her eyes.
She hath no scorn OF common things,
And, though she seem OF other birth,
Round us her heart intwines and clings,
And patiently she folds her wings
To tread the humble paths Of earth.
Blessing she is-God made her So
And deeds OF weekday holiness
Fall from her noseles-i as the snow,
Nor hath she ever Glanced to knew
That aught were easier than to bless.
She is most fair, and thereunto
Her life doth rightly harmonic.
Feeling or thought that was not true
Ne'er made less beautiful the blue
Unclouded heaven Of her eyes.
She is a woman, one in whom
The springtime OF her childish years
Hath never lost its fresh perfume,
Though knowing well that life hath room
For many blights and many tears.

In classic times, sir, long after the skeptc phi

Helicon OF its charms, it still remained the Gus
