The Makeup of a Consul.

A consul Is, In a certain sense, the
representative Of his country. To the
people among whom he Is stationed
and to the local authorities he is the
impersonation of his government. He
should be man of dignity, of self pos
session, of good address and bearing,
of tact and discretion, who should
command the respect and confidence
Of foreign merchants and officials and
who should be honored even by his
travelling countrymen.
When Prince Gortchakof was at the
head of the Russian foreign office, the
candidates for the diplomatic service
after passing the examination were al
ways granted an audience with his
excellency, who then made final deci-
sion by observing the manner In which
they entered tho room, the way In
which they addressed him and their
general department during the inter
view. A consul may know all about
invoices and ships and also about seals
and sealing wax, but II he be rude and
undignified, If he lack savoir faire and
gavoir vivre, he could serve his coun-
try to better advantage in that obscure
region known as "the classic shades OF
private life."-Forum.

1t wasn't Tom Dale's fault that the
Vulcan Iron works had failed and
thrown 1900 men out within three
months after his marriage. The young
wife went home TO her parents In the
country, and Tom packed up his tools
and started for London man with
trade and such a character as he had

day after day. At the end of month
he was taking pot luck with the yaga-
bonds of the street. He had pawned
everything he could spare except his
tools He realized that IL he parted
with them his last hope was gone. Aft
er month of bitter trial he found
queer thoughts creep!p, into his mind.
The world was against him. lie had
the skill and muscle TO earn his way,
but he could not exchange them for life
sustaining food. Sitting on park
bench one long night, starving, Tom
DaIe reached Il ucClSioD.
The next day was not spent in look
ing for work, but in inspecting houses
and stores with view to burglary
when night fell. By midafternoon he
had located his house. He had seen a
little old woman emerge with an air of
proprietorship. The house was old
fashioned and solid, aud the mistress
was doubtless in comfortable circum-
stances From 5 o'clock in the after
noon till II at night the machinist sat
In a park, doing, waiting.
An old woman and her servants
ought to be asleep by II o'clock, rea-
soned Tom Dale, and when the clock
had ehimed a quarter after the hour
he was at work He was surprised to
find how easy 1t was to reach shut
tered window in the rear, cut out the
Stats and file OFF the catch. The sash
was locked and bolted, but saw and file
soon did the trick, and he was inside.
An electric light from the street en-
abled Tom to make his way down the
second floor hall to a bedroom. The
room was tenanted by single sleeper,
and the door had been left slightly
ajar. He knew that the sleeper was
the old woman. Only old people burn
night lights and sigh between their
shores. He was creeping toward the
| light on hands and knees when he
heard slight rustic in the hall. Tom
| had scarcely concealed himself when
! the old manservant entered with
| shaded light in one hand and hatchet
in the other He carefully locked the
door. Then he removed the shade
from his light, placed 1t on the stand,
and, advancing to the bed, he stood
looking down for minute at the sleep
ing woman. Then he raised the hatch
ct to strike. Suddenly 1t was wrenched
from his hand, and he was thrown to
the floor.
Not one person in ten thousand would
have acted as that old woman did.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Early Matched pullets make the best
winter layers.
One of the most beneficial foods for
poultry Is llnseed meal.
The laying hens like II variety not
only In the soft food, but In the grain.
The guinea fowl Is n great forager
and destroys many insects that hens
will not touch.
The hens will lay better and be better
contented if supplied with box OF

The Leghorns are popular with those
who do not desire to raise chicks, they
being nonstters and good layers.
Poultry farming doesn't take great
deal of land, but with good manage

LAY UP YOUR TREASURES.


No Man Should spend the Whole of
His Income.
Is any one too poor to saver Is an i'm
portant problem which the readers of
a London daily are ut present attempt
Ing to solve. The question Is notIAy
any means now one 1t Is one which
has troubled past generations, just as.
In all probability, 1t viii affect the gen
erattons yet to come. We cannot sag
that this latest discussion of the sub
ject Is throwing much. IL any, fresh
light upon 1t.
In the first place, there ii u diversity
OF opinion regarding the term poor"
Ono mar, who derives an income of
$3.50 q year from private property,
faneies he comes under the category
while another does not consider any
one poor who has an income of $500 a
year. says writer In Leslie's Weekly.
1t Is manlfestly impossible to fix any
limit In n matter like this. Very much
depends upon the locality and the con-
ditions and surroundings of the indi-
vfdunl. An income that would be
amply sufficient to insure a family
comfortable home, excellent social adj
vnntnges and good living In a coun-
try village would mean many priva-
lions and sore discomforts In any large
city.
On the whole. however, we are In
cllned to believe that Max O'Rell's
views on the point under discussion
come nearer the safe and common
sense rule than anything we have seen.
II do not care" he says, how small
the income of man is, he should never
spend the whole OF 1t, especially II he
has wife and children. He should
ut least save enough to pay every year
the premium on good life policy. No
man IL worthy OF the name who does
not do this, ut least. at the price Of
whatever priyations he has TO submit
ia. Some pleasure may be derived
from high living. but certainly no hap
piness"
