Do We All Die Young?

The fact is, says Professor Metch-
nikoff in his Studies in Human Ma
ture," that only one man in a million
at present dies a natural death. We
should live till one hundred and forty
years of age. A man who expires
at seventy or eighty is the victim of
accident, cut Off in the flower of his
days, and he unconsciously resents
being deprived Of the fifty years or
SO which nature owes him. Leave
him little longer, and in due time
he will desire to die as child at
dusk desires to sleep. The sandman
will pass!
All our instincts drop from us one
by one. The child cries for mothers
milk The idea Of such an ailment is
repugnant to the adult. The desires
for sweets, for play, for Iove and love
making, for long walks and adven-
lures, are all impulses that have their
day and pass, and the wish to live is
an instinct which fails also with sa-
tiety. Only at present none of us
live long enough to be satiate with
DAYS.

The Lost Consul.

Baroness Bonde in her recently pub
lshed Letters relates a delightful
anecdote Of Lamartine, who by nature
ds we'll as vocation was a poet first
and man Of affairs afterward.
Shortly after one of the periodic rev.
olutions in France Lamartine wrote on
the blank leaves Of his pocketbook the
names Of his proteges, and sent to
the new rulers the list to be provided
with places Immediately.
Previously, however, it seems, he
had s,:ribbled David" on the page
and the head Of the cabinet appointed
the said David consul at Bremen. The
man DID not come forward, and al
though Lamartine did not like being
disturbed, Monsieur Hetzel was oblig-
ed to gsk who was the David on his
list.
"He who danced before the ark"
was the poets answer.
30 dear! 1 have gazetted him to
Bremen
''How very singular! I meant him
for a subject for meditation, not for a
nomination; but you can cancel it."
The Moniteur registered the change;
but few know that the consul appoint
ed to Bremen was King David!

The London Mail recalls a supper
party given two or three years ago
in honor of the birthday of Nine. Amy
Sherwin, on whose menu card the late
Phil May made an exquisite little
drawing. This was seen by a wealthy
woman present, who sent the waiter
with G10 note to the artist, asking
him to do a similar drawing for her.
Mr.. May, disguised at the woman's
impertinence, took a good look at her
and then made an appallingly truthful
caricature of her features on the
back of the bank note, which he re-
turned. On one occasion in Romano's
after dinner he sketched the portrait
of each of his fellow guests on their
respective shirt fronts, taking the
stud or studs as point to work from.
These life-like drawings were the
works of few moments, but they
should be valuable now, if any one
of the diners had the forethought to
preserve them instead of sending
them to the wash!

Dinner Versus Inspiration.

Whistler's laxity IN the matter Of
engagements was notorious. No one
ever knew if he were coming or not
to affairs. But his point Of view is
explained in his answer to friend
Of his, who knew that he had an
engagement to dine with some swells
in a. distant part of London, and who
felt that it was most impolitic for
Whistler to offend them. It was
growing late, and yet Whistler was
painting away, madly, intently.
my dear fellow" he said at him
at last, sit is frightfully late, and
you have to dine with Lady Such-a-
One. Don't you think you had better
stop?"
'Stop?" fairly shrieked Whistler.
stop, when everything is going beau
tifully? Go and stuff myself with dis
gushing food when I can paint like
this? Never! Never! Besides, they

never dol" And the entire speech is

A GERMAN CHICAGO.
Remarkable Rapidity of the Growth
Of Berlin.

Berlin, writes Sydney Brooks, in
Harper's Weekly, is the Chicago of
Germany in the rapidity of growth if
in nothing else. To one who has not
visited it for en- or twelve years the
place seems t. have trebled and quad
rupled itself Very likely it has; but
what most impresses one is not the
extent, but the quality, of it's growth.
It is the only modern city I know of
that has managed to escape looking
artificial. Most foreigners complain
that New York looks as though it had
been hit off at stroke and dumped
down on Manhattan Island by con-
tract They inveigh against it's dead
ly uniformity, it's Euclidian lines, it's
prosaic precision. They say that it
has been far too obviously mapped
out by architects and surveyors in
stead of by nature. None of these
charges could be brought against Ber-
lin. The city, or most of it, at any
rate, is as modern as New York, but
the labor of building 1t has been
most dexterously hidden. In Perrin,
the old days of plain living and nigh
thinking seem well-nigh over. There
may be plenty of high thinking done
the capital, but it certainly Is no
longer a city of conspicuously plain
living. The rents are such as open
even a New Workers. eyes, house
hold expenses are proportionately Sc
we're, and the clubs, the theatres, the
stores, and above all, the hotels and
restaurants, point in a direction that
does not lead by any means to econ
ony. There are hotels today in Ber-
lin that rival and in some points even
excel the Waldorf-Astoria and the
Carlton.

House and Furniture.

Excess Of furniture destroys the re-
pose OF d lazy man, and Is in the way
Of an industrious one" wrote William
Morris: and it was also one Of his
nraxims that If houses were built as
they should be we should want but a
little furniture, and be happy in that
scanti:ieas. In 1.-THE Lesser Arts Of
Life he wrote:
The arrangement Of our houses
ought surely to- express the kind Of
life W. lead or desire to lead.
Our furniture should be good citi-
zens' uIniture, solid and well made
in workmanship, and in design should
have nothing about it that is not easily
defensible, no monstrosities or extrav-
agances, not even of beauty, lest we
weary OF 1t.
AS to matters of construction, It
should not have to depend on the spe-
cial skill Of very picked workman,
or the EuIerexcellence Of his glue, but
be made on the proper principles Of
the art Of joinery. Also 1 think that,
except for very movable things, like
chairs, 1t should not be so very light
as to be yearly imponderable; it should
be made 2s timber rather than walking
sticks.

WISCONSIN'S RECORD.
FAITHFULLY TOLD IN READABLE

Canadian Fugitive Dies in Far West
Move Against Milwaukee Saloons
Married for Seventy Years-Electric
Plant Damaged by Flames.

Joe Phillips, who for many years was
a resident of Chippewa Falls, died in st.
Johns hospital at Seattle, Wash, from
cancer His right name was Philip Jo-
sic, but upon arriving in Chippewa Falls
twenty eight years ago changed his name
to that of Joe Phillips. For that num-
Der of years he has evaded the Canadian
officers, but in the meantime he married
and was the father Of two children. Jo-
sic was arrested with another man at
Ontario on the charge of having muir
dered young girl, and was sentenced to
life imprisonment One night, in COM
pany with other prisoners, Josie escaped.
The officers went in pursuit and followed
the prisoners for two weeks. The boat
in which they were attempting to cross
the Ontario river capsized and by some
means Josie managed to leave his COM
panions with the belief that he was
drowned, and the search for him was
abandoned He then came to Chippewa
Falls. Only few Of his most intimate
friends knew Of his career and it was
never discussed. When he became sick
from the cancer and was preparing to die
he made full confession of the past.
The girls name whom he killed was
Miss Annie Adams, his sweetheart.

TURKISH BATHS IN TURKEY.

About the first real craving that

bath rigth on the spot where the IA

traveller. His next decision is that a
New York or a London Turkish bath
Is about as far ahead Of the Damas-
Gus article as mothers pies beat the
bakers. In view Of the eastern origin
of these baths 1 naturally expected to
find something Of a luxury.
Entering one Of the finest baths
in the city, 1 was at first sight much
pleased with the general appearance
of things. Dog of a Christian that

entail fairyland. All around the foun-
tain on raised platforms were combina-

Some were reclining, some mapping,
some slipping coffee, some smoking the

from the land of Allah, within ear

a district over which reigns only Shiek

do not ask that life should be
A bed of ease;
I am not like the child, who wants
Each toy he sees.
And yet tbs hard, think, sometimes,
To see and know,
When life seems full of bitter things,
The why it's so.
'Tis hard to watch the ones we love
Grow sick and die,
To lay them in the grave and make
No moan or cry.
Yet those be loves God chasteneth.
So we are told.
And each in some way doth believe
The story old.
That in this world what ISIS best;
Although we see
"A thousand ways in which we think
'Twould better be
To have what we have longed fol, but
IT'S all in vain;
grief,
Sorrow and pain.
That God some trials sends to each
That one and all
May come to him for sympathy;
May heed His call,
"Come all We weary ones to me,
For here is rest"
And so we all would fain believe
What is, is best.
Thus, though like others, should like
At peace to be,
7 only ask that He, in time,
Will give to me
A faith so sure, love so great,
So strong and true,

When life's hard lesson has been

Reform for Milwaukee.

A new element seems likely to creep
into the coming Milwaukee municipal
election which will endeavor to procure
the election of city officials who will
pledge themselves to the curtailment OF
the liquor traffic and to rid the city of the
wide-open. element. Plans are being made
for the active participation of the Anti
Saloon League, which proposes to seek
the cooperation of every preacher and
pastor in Milwaukee for the purpose of
rousing the churchmen to get them to go
to the polls to fight those who are not
in sympathy with or who are opposed to
the movement against the saloons and in
favor Of civic reform. Because of the
rebuff suffered by the ministers at the
hands of municipal officers it is believed
that Milwaukee will be the better place
for the demonstration at first than any

For Myrtle Paine was only sixteen.
and these revelations came 20 her like
q thunder-clap. Many times in the
few weeks of her married life she
had fears and doubts, but nothing
TO compare with this. Hal was tired
and ashamed of her. And Myrtle
who with all her faults had wo-
hans heart-threw herself on the
sofa in her room and burst into a
torrent of tears:
And vet she acknowledged to her
self that it was all true. She had
been an uneducated country girl when
she met Hal Paine, who was spending
his vacation in the country, and had
asked temporary lodgings at the house
of her uncle. He had loved her--or
ne said so, at least-and married
her And for a brief time she vas
