THIRTY YEARS OLD.

The Christmas (December) Number
of The Delineator is also the thirtieth
anniversary number. To do justice to
this number, which for beauty and
utility touches the highest mark, it
would be necessary to print the en-
tire list of contents. 1t is sufficient
TO state that in it the best modern
writers and artists are generously
represented. The book contains over
$50 pages, with "a full-page illustra-
tions, of which 20 are in two or more
colors. The magnitude of this Decem-
Der number, for which 1898 tons Of
paper and six tons of ink have been
used, may be understood from the fact
that 81 presses running IA hours day,
have been required to print it; the
binding alone of the edition of 9l5, 600
copies representing over 10000, 600
sections which had to be gathered
individually by human hands.

ThoughtIess, selfish.

Thoughtlessness of others is nothing
more than downright selfishness, which
is the curse of humanity. The man
who on leaving an elevated train
pauses at the head of the stairs to
light his cigar is selfish He incom-
modes all who are behind him. The
woman who insists on passing up or
down the stairs ahead of the eager
crowd, slowly, Indifferent to the haste
Of others, must be an awful thing at
home. He who pauses to tie his shoe
regardless of the interruption of traffic
is brute in his family. l see all these
things dozen times day and wonder
what kind of lives such persons lead In
the family circle. One of the common
evidences of thoughtlessness is seen in
those who stand in the middle Of the
sidewalk to chat while multitudes are
forced to defect or make an offset in
order to pass them. The more see of
men the greater is my respect for
asses, dogs and mules.-New York

Birds Made a sieve.

In the mountains of Tennessee
stranger came upon a man who was
shoveling coal upon wooden sieve.
Upon inquiry how on earth he got such
s curious thing the old man replied:
Stranger, don't think you'll b'leeye
me if tell you"
ooh, yes, certainly" said the man;
II will believe YOU
"Waal," said the mountaineer, sit
war this way: About five years ago I
lived down on the side of the mountain
whar woodpeckers and other kind O.
birds is powerful thick. That ar thing"
pointing to the sieve-"war my door
to my cabin. 1t nd mock any bird that

critters. They lit in on the door, and
when l come it war jest like you see

Senator Hoar's Econo ny.

Senator Hoar of Massachusetts has
natural and an abundant supply Of
New England economy. Not only does
he economize in his expenditures-he
rides to and from his hotel to the SEN
ate in the street cars-but economies
In time. One of his peculiar street car
habits, which can be observed twice
day any day, is his seemingly uncon-
scious desire TO get seat near the
door where he is to get out. The 9TH
er day he boarded long f street car,
which was well filed. The venerable
senator had to take seat near the
front end. AS the car proceeded to-
ward the capitol the passengers grad
ually got out. Every time person
next to the senator got out he prompt
ly Slid into the vacated place. By re-
peating this sliding operation a half
dozen times the senator arrived at the
seat next the door, which he held the
rest of the journey TO the capitol

How She Made a PROFIT.

In Paris gentleman who is very
fa,nd of fine paintings bought for $4,000
francs work entitled THE Bride Of
Abydos' and was congratulating him
self on becoming its possessor when he
suddenly remembered that his wife
disliked very much to see him spend
his money in this manner.
How can avoid scene?" he asked
himself. IF say that the painting
cost $4,000 francs, there will be an
awful time, and so I'd better say 1000.
No; I'll say 4O0O."
By this time he had reached home,
and when he saw his wife he told her
unblushingly that he had just secured
beautiful work of art for the nomi-
nal sum of 5000 francs. At this good
news she seemed more disconnected
than pleased, but said nothing, and
the painting was hung up.
Next day the gentleman was obliged
to go to the south of France, and when
he returned after a weeks absence
his wife met him with a beaming coun-
tenance and said: 1--WE done a good
stroke of business while you were
away. You know that painting you
bought for 5000 francs? Well, 1 sold
it yesterday for 4,50O, clear profit Of

baths In E1nlana.

One Of the greatest trials visitor in
Finland has to endure is Finnish
bath. The method Of procedure is
unique Divested Of outer clothing and
attired in light and airy cotton gar
ment, you are slung in sort of ham,
mock composed of cord above large
receptacle like the boilers in public
lanndries. This is almost filed with
cold water, into which at the right mo-
ment is flung large redhot brick or
piece of iron, which Of course causes
an overwhelming rush of steam to as
cend and almost choke you. Then
when that process has gone on suffi-
GENTLY long you are shaken out of your
hammock, immersed in cold water, and
after very drastic treatment you re-
sumo your raiment, sadder and wiser
than before your novel experience.

Hard Lessons In Good Manners.

School chaff is wholesome in most
cases, but it may cramp what should
not be cramped. AS to the cllaff which
man gives and gets at university,
however, we do not think there can be
two opinions. 1t must do good, and it
has not the opportunity of doing harm.
Only those receive it who lay them
selves open to receive it. The quiet
man who wishes to read or to think
apart need hardly ever come into con-
tact with his fellows unless he so
chooses. The staggering or bump
tious man, the opinionated man, the
offensive man-these are certain to be
chaffed, and the chaff usually goes
home; not at once perhaps, but it usu-
ally gets there in the end with salts
factory consequences. The personal
remark may be rude, but rudeness is
often very salutary weapon. 1t is
certainly one of the most valuable in
struments of English education. In
deed it may seem strange thing to
say, but it is surely true that contin-
ued experience of calculated, formu-
larized and well intentioned rudeness
teaches people to be polite.-London
Spectator.

We're indispensable to the first course.
Among the various dishes we may in

repute. The Roman gourmands held

Shifting the Responsibility.

An Irishman who traded in small
wares kept donkey cart, with which
he visited the different villages. On
one occasion he came to bridge where
toll was levied.
He found to his disappointment he
had not enough money to pay it.
A bright thought struck him. He I'M
.harnessed the donkey and put it into
the cart. Then, getting between the
shafts himself, he pulled the cart with
the donkey standing in it on to the
bridge.
In due course he was hailed by the
toll collector.
Hey, manr' cried the latter.
"Whaur's your toll?"
.Begorra." said the Irishman, "just
ask the droiver."

queen criticised this part of the pic

One day he received from Windsor a

that she was right, had sent him the
ribbon to prove his color sense was
wrong. She did not confer the Garter

Address a Communication to the
Chief Executive Concerning Alleged
General Decentralization in All
Branches of the Army.

Lake George, N. Y, July 2S.-At a
meeting of representative anti-imper-
ialists held in New York last spring
a committee was appointed to in
yestigate army conditions in the Phil
ippines. That committee has since
been prosecuting it's inquiries. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recent review of the
court-martial of General Jacob FL.
Smith seemed to the committee to de-
mand some reply and at a meeting
just held at Lake George an open let
ter to the president was adopted. The
letter was signed by Charles Francis
Adams, Chairman Carl Schurz, Edwin
Burritt Smith, Moorfeld Story and
Herbert WEIGH. 1t says:
Coming directly to the point and
speaking historically, our investiga-
lions have led us to conclude that the
decentralization of the officers and sol
dlers of our army in the Philippines,
including all branches of the service
and all grades of rank, was far more
general as well as pronounced than
might be inferred from your review
OF the court-martial findings in the
case of General Smith We find our
selves. though with deep regret, CON-
PEELED to take issue with you on one
important point. In your review of
July IA you say: Almost universally
the higher officers have so borne them
selves as to supply the necessary
check over acts of an improper char.
acter by their subordinates.'
1--WE. on the contrary, have found
ourselves impelled to the belief that
the acts referred to were far more
general, the decentralization more all
pervasive. We hold ourselves ready
to direct your attention to concrete
cases, the investigation of which
would demonstrate the following Grim.
inal acts: Kidnapping and murder,
under circumstances of aggravated
brutality; robbery; torture, both OF
men and women. and rape of the las
ter; the infection of death on other
parties, on the strength of evidence

Each day brings the agricultural proc.

and as the possibility of any serious
injury becomes smaller the feeling CT
confidence in fully sustained trade
grows stronger. Railway stocks rose
to new high record quotations and
gold was exported, yet money ruled
easy. July oats succeeded corn as the
leading speculative cereal, but all dis.
tant grain options tended lower as the
outlook improved. The heavy dis
tribution of merchandise is shown by
railway earnings thus far reported for
