The value of life OF comparative

strated so far as making for longevity
by an analysis Of the obituary Of the

Dec. 6. 1900. and Dec. S. 1901. Nine
teen members of the upper house died.
twelve of them being 20 and upward.

ing only two who had died at COM
paratively early age. The number OF
baronets who died was thirty-four.

The immense growth OF London
clubs ana of the opportunities afforded
for games OF chance may serve TO re-
call an epigram which "Bentley's Mis-
cellany" attributed sixty years ago to
Sydney Smith.
He was at a Sunday dinner at Hol-
land House, when the hostess said that
woman's passion for diamonds was
surely less ruinous than mans pas
sion for play at his club. Thereupon
Sydney Smith took card and wrote
the following impromptu:
Thoughtless that all that's brightest
fades,
Unmindful OF that knave OF spades,
The sexton and his subs;
How foolishly we play our parts!
Our wives on diamonds set their
hearts,
We set our hearts on clubs.

Origin of Ox-TaM Soup.

The origin Of many dainty dishes Is
lost in obscurity. but an interesting
account is given OF the discovery of
ox-tail soup. 1t is said to date from
the dark days of the French revolu-
ton, when many Of the nobility were
reduced to terrible straits. Till then
hides had been sent to the tannery
with the tails still attached and subse-
quently the tails were thrown away.
A certain nobleman, being in state
of starvation, begged one of these tails.
and with it made soup. Since then the
demand for ox-tail soup has been great
enough to lead to Its being sometimes
made without the tails!

THE CIVIL WAR.
Southern Idea OF the Great Strife Be
tween the States.

Southern Idea OF the Great Strife Be
tween the States.
The New York Evening Post rebukes
Gen. Grosvenor for the bitterness dis
played in his declaration that he would
call the civil strife of 1S61-65 THE
War of the Rebellion" to his latest
breath, and also take exception to the
term chosen by Gen. Grant, viz, "The
war between the states" on account OF
its length. In the interests Of good
feeling and brevity both, 1t decides in
favor of THE Civil War" as the most
becoming title for that unhappy period
of conflict.
The Posts position is undoubtedly
the proper one. In 1861 secession-as
viewed by thousands whose opinion
upon any subject was worthy of all
respect-was as much constitutional
right as trial by jury or the exercise
of the elective franchise, and to apply
the term rebellion" to the govern
ment that these men set up mere
ance and prejudice.
What a similar movement would be
now Is a very different matter. The
question was submitted to the arbitra-
ment of the sword, and was by that
weapon decided in the negative. and
that decision stands for the future.
But in 1861 it was a war between
states, and as such history will re-
gard it.-Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.

Four Peeresses. Holding Some of the Proudest Names

Socially Ostra cized.

While most OF the women OF the
British aristocracy are preparing for
the display OF dress and figure at the
coronation of King Edward in June,
there are four members of the fair
sex across the water who wear old and
honored titles who will not need to
spend their money in preparation for
this event and who cannot look for

Clancarty. Lady Orkney, Lady Head
fort and Lady Hope. They are persona
non grata at the English court, though
they bear the names of peers whose
rank is high. All of the quartet are
as talented and clever as any of the

which gained for them their titles. All
four were poor singers and dancers
who caught the fancy of young noble
men and became their wives. But be-

excluded from the privileges which,
by reason of their marriage, they have
reason to believe themselves entitled

IRRESISTIBLE APPEAL.


Tale That Was CaIc uIated to Touch
Even Hearts of Ice.
II will tell you what it is for" said
the demure little trained nurse who
had just asked for contribution, "and
believe you will agree that it Is a
sad case and we'll deserving any aid
you may care to give.
Near my old home, down South, in
Alabama, is lake which, until last
winter, had never been frozen, when
for the first time solid sheet Of ice
covered the surface of the water. On
the shore of this lake was a cabin, the
home of a happy family Of negroes.
"One evening a large flock Of wild
geese alighted on the ice and settled
down for the night. When darkness
came the whole family armed them
selves with clubs, went out on the ice,
and started in to kill the geese. which
they thought were asleep. But here
they mistook the situation.
THE poor geese were wide awake,
but could not get away because they
were all frozen tight to the ice. Still,
they made one mighty combined effort
to escape and in doing so carried with
them the layer of ice which had COW
cred the lake, and with it the negroes,
and flew straight up until finally they
disappeared from view and were never
seen again.
None of this unhappy family was
left behind except the aged blind
grandfather, who had remained in the
cabin, and it is for his benefit / am

A magazines published in 1923 gives
the following method to improve water
for drinking: Let the water, wnen
boiled, be put into a common barrel
churn, where 1t may be agitated to any
degree that may be wished for. In
the course of its being thus agitated
it will absorb atmospheric air, and
other elastic fluids with which 1t may
come in contact. 1t will thus become
a liquor, safe, palatable and whole
some, to be obtained with little trou-
BILE and expense, and accessible in its
utmost perfection to the poorest in
dividual. Those who wish to drink
this wholesome beverage in its utmost
perfection should, after having 1t
boiled and filtered. cause it to be
churned as above directed, then bot
tied, with couple Of dried raisins in
each bottle; this will give it sufl-
Client quantity of fixed air. If then
used it becomes truly delicious.
