Business before Pleasure.

An English commercial traveller, for
whose pushing Americanism a Liver
pool paper vouches with great enthusi-
asm, started out after country order.
Happening to arrive at the village on
the day of festival, he found the shop
of his customer closed, and learned
that the man himself was at the cele-
bration mile out of town. At once
he set out for the spot, and reached
the ground just in time to see his
shopkeeper climb into a balloon pro-
cured for special ascensions. The man
Of trade was equal to the occasion. He
stepped forward, paid his fare and
climbed into the car. Away went the
balloon, and was hardly above the
tree-tops when the commercial trav-
eler turned to his astonished victim,
and said persuasively but triumphant

Growth Of cltle. Compared.

The census experts here are quite
puzzled by the kilograms from London
showing a population of only 1886 ,OS4
for the metropolitan district of that
city, for this is an increase of only Z
per cent during the last ten years,
against 81 per cent for New York, "a
per cent for Chicago and similar
growth for Berlin and other of the
worlds great cities. The natural in
crease should not be less than 12 per
cent and all who are familiar with
conditions there know that London is
being overcrowded by people, who pre-
fer mechanical to agricultural employ
ment. The great danger in England
and the same in Germany is the de-
sertion OF the farms for the lighter
labor, shorter hours, better wages and
greater attractions of city life. It was
expected that the London census
would develop an extraordinary in
crease in population for those reasons.

IN THE FREE kid GARDEN"

Incidents That Show 1t Pays to Care
for the Young.
The children who attend the free
kindergartens in New York city often
come in the morning cold and hungry,
their mothers not having time to give
them any breakfast before starting of
to work. Each newcomer is told to
ask for anything he wants, by which
is meant drink of warm milk and q
piece Of bread, if he is hungry. But
one baby boy thought any wish could
be gratified in the wonderful school,
so he con1ded to his teacher: wis
had one kitty; I'us nussin' to play
wis at my house but watts (rats). An
other small boy at the "kid garden"
as the slum children call it, was os-
tracized by his fellows. what has
Tommy done? Why don't you play
with him?" asked his teacher. The
small Pharisees drew themselves up
with dignity and one small girl, point

boys, who had served terms in the in

their little sister, Lizzie, to the schools
by main force, and said: please take
her in; we don't want her to be like

ashamed to come in, as all are taught
neatness and order in the schools.

The moon had disappeared behind a
sullen dark gray cloud, and for few
moments they were left in comparative
darkness. Miss Trevanion's heart
was beating loud and fast; the cloudy
drapery that partially concealed, but
scarcely hid her delicate neck and
shoulders was strangely agitated. She
could not see her companions face, but
felt that he was trying to pierce the
momentary gloom to gain some insight
into her soul. He should read no
thoughts of hers, she told herself, with
proud reliance on her own strength;
he should not learn from her face how
deeply his words had vexed her.
When once more the moon asserted
herself and shone forth with redoubled
brilliancy Denzil gazed only on a

to the heart beneath. She seemed a
beautiful being, piece Of natures

unsympathetic, incapable of any di.
vine feeling.
He gazed at her in silence, wondering
how so fair creature could be so de-
void of all tender characteristics. and,
as he gazed, a mans step sounded
lightly on the gravel beneath them. AS
she heard it, Miss Trevanion's whole
expression changed, her face was lit
up with sudden animation, and took
an eager eXpectant look that rendered
her ten times more lovely than he had
ever seen her. She moved lightly to the
top of the stone steps that led to the
grounds, and watched with pretty i'm
patience until a gray-colored figure
emerged from the darkness, and, see
ing her took her gladly in his arms.
"Charlie!" she said, rapturously,
and, when he had half pushed her from
his embrace, she put up her hands and
smoothed back his sunny brown hair
from his forehead, and kissed him
three times fondly; after which she
suddenly recollected Denzil's presence
and. drawing back, pushed Charlie
gently toward him.

On securineHomestead Lands.

A declaration of intention to become

f1cient to enable one to enter public
land under the Homestead law. Were
the privilege limited to citizens one
of the main objects of the law-to en-
courage emigration-would be defeat

from its benefits at least five years.

he must make affidavit of the fact be.

But It Goes to All tho Trouble THAT

Now that warm weather is at hand
and windows are open in the early
morning, many complaints are being
received by the police about the crow
ing and cackling of chickens kept by
persons in the residence portion of the
city. says the Washington correspond
ent Of the Baltimore Sun The police
regulations prohibit the keeping of
such fowls when they are an annoy
ance, and fine on the owner may be
imposed. Inquiry at police headquar-
ters to-day elected the information
that such complaints should be sup
ported by the testimony of two wit
nesses from different houses to show
that the noise is nuisance. In this
connection a story was told of man
in the northwestern section who had

pointed to the rooster, which was nap

the motions accompanying growing,

tempting to crow are most amusing,

the Action of Congress-

Washington, D. c., June 11-wi+h,,.
the last forty-eight hours urgent cahle
dispatches have been sent from tho
Cuban colonies in New York ana
Washington to Havana, urging the
leaders in the constitutional convon
tion not to trifle with Uncle Sam anv
longer, and warning them that the in
dependence OF Cuba is at stake and
will be lost entirely If there is much
more delay. Many of the members Of
the old Cuban Junta, the men who
carried on the propaganda in the
United States which at last resulted
In the Spanish war, have become con-
vinced that their brethren in Havana
are trifing with the destinies Of their
country. The leaders of the Junta be-
gan studying American public opinion
long ago, and the messages they are
sending to Havana are more than
significant. The leaders Of the con-
stitutional convention have been
warned that if they do not get gov
ernment of some kind started before
congress meets next December the
prospects of complete independence
will be considerably less bright than
they are at present. These warning
messages go on to say that members
OF congress and distinguished officials
of the administration bitterly regret
the pledge given in the Teller resolu-
ton. The American sense of honor
demands the fulfllment of this pledge,
but the Cuban radicals are warned
that they are playing directly into the
hands Of the annexationists. They
have been told in so many words that
il they adjourn without adopting the
Platt amendment or dawdle along until
December the President will be obliged
to send a message to Congress an.
nouncing to that body and to the
world that the Cubans have refused
to accept the conditions imposed upon
them. In that case, these resident Gu
bans say, congress will inevitably take
the ground that the Cubans have been
offered real independence, have re-
fused to give proper guarantees Of
good government, and that the terms
of the Teller resolution have been fol-
lowed by congress but rejected by the
Cubans themselves. Thereupon annex
alton would follow as a matter OF
course

an inch, more or less, too large for

had a pleasant, genial expression
lurking in their light depths, while
his smile alone would have redeemed
an uglier man.
He was general favorite with most
Of his acquaintances, and particular
one with his cousins, the Deverills,

the light Of brotherly relation, time
I having convinced them that their
chances were not of that order that
would change his position from friend
to husband. The elder Miss Deverill
was a tall girl, gawkily inclined, pos
sessed OF very pronounced nose,
talent for listening, and bright, clev-

Judging Character by experience.

An attractive personal appearance is
a recommendation, but it is not al
ways a sure sign of good character
and an amiable disposition. Except to
student Of physiognomy, it is ex-
tremely difficult to judge from per-
sons outward appearance what his or
her general character is, and it would
be very unsafe to rely on any impress
sion gathered in such manner. There
are, of course, some characteristics
plainly stamped on a PERSONS face
that can hardly ever be mistaken,
such as kindness and good nature, on
the one hand, and selfshness and
hardness on the other. But, on the
whole, it is well always to cultivate
a persons acquaintance before at
tempting to form any estimate of his
or her dispositions York Week
