CARE OF THE AGED.

They are beginning to do things better in
public institutions where aged people are
cared for. The cottage system has long
been used in connection with reform
schools, insane hospitals. etc., but in county
asylums and other so-called homes for
old men and women the rule has been to
house them in one building. the men in one
part the women in another. This not only
separates husbands and wives when, as
often happens, both are thrown upon the
world together. but herds the better and
more refined inmates with the coarse and
degraded. This feature of almshouse life,
next to the humiliation of having to accept
charity under any conditions, is what
causes the greatest distress to the unfortu-
mates who, after having known some OF the
better things of life, are compelled by adj
verslty to end their days In public institu-
tons. Because such people have come to
want il does not follow that they have lost
and can associate with the gross and the
unclean without discomfort and a sense of
repulsion. nor is there any reason why the
authorities. acting for the public, should not
discriminate among these wards Of city or
county. and. far possible. make life
endurable to them by making their situa-
ton accord to some extent with the best
they have known. This can best be accom-
plished by classifying the inmates and sepa-
rating them into groups, then housing them
under different roofs. This is being done in
New York city through the establishment
by the almshouse department OF a cottage
colony on Staten island. Only three cot
tages have yet been erected, two OF which

DAYS of Darkness.

Probably Indianapolis has never expert
enced greater number of unusually dark
days in the same length of time than 1t
has during the last two or three weeks
This has been partly due to the season
of the year and the late rising of the sun,
partly to the condition of the atmosphere,
but most of all to the pail of smoke that
overhangs the city. The days Of unusual
cleanliness past. Before the introduce
ton of natural gas manufacturing was not
sufficiently extensive. and there were not
enough smokestacks to materially AFFECT the
atmosphere.
During the happy, period of natural gas.
when a coal cart was rarely seen on the
streets and when even most of the fac
tories used gas. this was the cleanest city
of its size in the country. The atmosphere
was remarkably free from smoke and SCOT.
and the result was felt in many pleasant
ways But that time is passed, never again
to return unless effective smoke con-
sumner shall be invented. Of which there
seems little prospect. The factories which
run the year round and the tall downtown
buildings, with their smokestacks pouring
forth great volumes of smoke every day
during half of the year, are not response
BILE for all of the nuisance. The flats and
private houses contribute their share until
the whole city is enveloped in a smoke that
permeates all places and leaves it's marks
everywhere.
Coal is a great blessing and important
factor in civilization, but coal smoke is an
unmitigated nuisance. Science has gwen us
a smokeless powder; If it would supply a
smokeless fuel the world would rise up and
call 1t blessed.

WHAT TO DO WITH A LIBRARY

A well-known Indianapolis gentleman of
bookish tastes, who is-or has been-the
owner of a fine library, said in oonversa-
ton recently that he had adopted the plan
of giving away his books to persons who
would appreciate them and benefit by them.
1.-THE thought occurred to me- he said,
that many of the volumes on my shelves
1 should probably never open again. had
read them, had had the good Of them 1
valued them for what 1 had got from
them and for the associations with them,
but why, 1 asked myself, should they re-
main unused in my library merely to graf
ify my sense of possession, my love for
books, when they might be giving the pleas
ure to others that they had given to me-?
volume here and another there to this young
man woman, to that young couple. to
the old acquaintance-each with a love Of
literature but without the means of crafty
ing it; in some cases, perhaps, without the
knowledge that would enable them to
choose the best. That was two or three
years ago. keep my books of reference and
some OLD 1aVOrlteS, out SLOWLY my library Is
vanishing, yet in disposing of it in this
way 1 have had a pleasure only second to
that 1 found in its accumulation"
This idea is so good a one that the
Journal sets 1t down here as possible sug-
gestion to others whose shelves are loaded
with books they no longer read, but which
might be affording pleasure to those who
cannot buy, but who long for the privilege
of ownership of literary treasures. Com
monty, when possessors of Libraries are
asked for contributions to struggling clubs
or to reading rooms or to other commend
able cause. selections of the least desirable
of the volumes are made and even then are
parted with reluctantly. Fearful and Won
derful is the rubbish that makes UP many
of these contributed free libraries. Why
not change this grudging plan of giving what
we do not want and adopt that of the gen.
tleman quoted, thus furnishing to others the
pleasure we once had from the volumes,
and losing nothing ourselves since the con-
tents of the books are already ours.

In a breach-of-promise suit in high life,
tried in the Cleveland courts last week,
the plaintiff said, in answer to the ques-
ton as to whether the defendant had ever
made her any presents:
Eyes, indeed. have a very fine library
of books which he gave me. He used to
say that he wanted me to enrich my in
tellect that when i became his wife
would be his mental equal. So he gave me
books which we read together. Yes, L re-
member the first one he ever gave me.
will never forget that book"
What was the name of that book which
you read first, in your effort to improve your
mind?" asked the attorney.
II 1T was called Little Lord Fauntleroy,"
was the reply.
Even the judge nearly fell off the bench
at this, and it was several minutes before
the bailiff succeeded in stopping the laugh
ter and restoring order. 1t is safe to say
that whatever may be the decision of the
court as to the breach of promise, the de-
PENDANT in the case will never hear Little
Lord Fauntleroy" mentioned in his presence
without suspecting an intentional gibe.

SOME SIDE LIGHTS ON HISTORY.

Few persons, even readers of history,
know how near Napoleon Bonaparte came
to becoming resident, perhaps even
Stories have prevailed at different times
regarding the alleged flight of distinguished
Frenchmen to this country and their living
here under assumed names. Some of these
stories have shown singular vitality and
have been supported by good deal of cir
to Marshal Ney, who, according to general
ly accepted history, was condemned to death
for high treason after the downfall of
Napoleon, and shot along with several other
persons on Dec. z, 1875 For years it was
asserted and is still believed by many per-
through the connivance of the soldiers,
was allowed to escape to this country,
where he lived for a number of years in
North Carolina under the name p. 8. Ney.
The circumstantial evidence tending to
prove the identity of p s. Ney with the
great marshal is remarkably strong and
makes an exceedingly interesting story.
Most persons have read of Eleazar Will
liams, who, about 1912, declared himself the
lost dauphin of France who had been
carried secretly from prison in Paris and
brought to the United States This claim
was ingeniously advocated in an article
published in the old Putnam's Monthly in
1853 entitled Have We Bourbon Among
Us?" and afterward expanded into a
volume entitled 1.-THE Lost Prince" The
claims also furnished the basis of Mrs
Catherwoods novel 'Lazarre," in which
Eleazar Williams figured as a character.
This story. like that of Ney. was supported
by a surprising amount of circumstantial
evidence, but it fell short of being quite
established.

did come to this country and spent about

after he became King, Lafayette visited
him In the Palais Royal to obtain guaran-

In the course of conversation Lafayette
said to the King, You know that 1 am a

authorities is to erect additional cottages as
rapidly as possible. This will make condi-

scale, was reported some time since as hav-

houses. suited to the occupancy of mar

sion was made for housekeeping where the
inmates were not too infirm to look after
their little affairs, and this was carried on
under such measure OF official supervision
as seemed necessary, thus affording as
much of the genuine home atmosphere as
was possible in public institution and the
smallest possible flavor of charity.

caring for the dependent classes. but
