HUMAs LITE cHEAP.

Human life seems to be one of the cheapest things on the list. In this country it seems to be less and less val ued. McClure's Magazine for Decem- Der contains a striking article on the increase of homicide in the United
 States. Recently in charging a jury an Alabama judge gave figures to show that the number of human killings in the United States during the three-year period was one-third larger than either the total number of persons killed on the railroads during the same time or the total losses of the British army in
 the South African war. The exact fig ures are: Killed on railroads, 21,S47; British loss in Boer war, 22,000; homi-
 cides in the United States, 31,395. Writ
 ing on the same theme, the Chicago News shows from the records that there is far less crime in European cities than in American cities. London, with
 population of 6,500000, had twenty
 four murders last year. Every eulprit
 was apprehended by the London police.
 Nine were sentenced to be hanged, four committed suicide and the rest were
 sent to prison. During the same time
 Chicago, with less than one-f1fth the population, had 12s homicides. In

T rernembef that old John varnum built two sehoOners, sister ships. and named them after his two daughters Ann Eliza and Henrietta. Now Ann Eliza Xarnum was one of those steady sensible girls. taking after her father. and she was great cook, and could do anything around the house first rate. She never put on no style, and when she got married she picked out slow going. good-natured sort of chap nam em Henry Gray, who could make fair living by hard work. and that's all.
 Now. Henrietta, she was different sort of girl altogether. She either couldn't or wouldn't do any hosework, and she turned up her nose at the fel- lows around home. Said there were country pumpkins. and wouldn't have nothing to do with them.
 She went to Boston and got a job in a swell millinery store, and then she learned shorthand and got to be private secretary or something to a stock broker She was a good locker, and great talker. and the stock brok- CT he got so fond of her that when his wife died he married her. Now she lives in great style, wears the best of clothes, and is way up generally.
 Well, look at, the two vessels. The Ann Eliza, she has been Juggling lum- Der from Bangor to Boston right along, doing hard work and getting little for 1t, and it's worn her out so she isn't pretty to look at any more. She's a dull sailor, but she gets there, finally, and she's just a common old coaster, that's all.
 The Henrietta, built on the same lines, in the same yard, made only two trips coasting, when she was bought by the Government Fish Commission, and fitted up in great style. She goes to Southern waters all winter, and sometimes, summers, she comes down this way, looking like a yacht, with her brasswork and her spars all scrap ed clean and her sails whites the day they left the loft.
 She never did any hard work, and she never made any money; but she had the luck to fall into rich hands, and to-day she don't look day older then when she left these waters. Same way with the girls the schooners was named after. One hard worker, look ing old before her time, t'other trim and smart as new pilot boat. The old schooner General Grant was just like her namesake, too. She had . hard time, did the schooner, but she always came out winner. The old Napoleon was the same way. She had all kinds of hard luck, but they couldn't seem to lose her. When steamers crowded her out of the packet business, she was sold to q summer hotel man on one of the islands, where they hauled her up and used her as a wharf. ~ Correspondence Chicago In- ter Ocean.

I 2 . 5 Finland is not so oppressed as it was.
 Prince Obolensky, the new Governor of
 Finland, is trying various arts of pro- pitiation upon that country, reversing the oppressive policy of his predecessor,
 Bobrikoff, which led, for him, to such tragical results. The prince has con
 voked the Finland Diet for December 6,
 and has declined to interfere in the elections. He seems to want the rep resentatives really to represent the people, so that Russia can ascertain authentically their desires. The prince has just made a tour of observation through the country. studying it's con- ditions diligently and sympathetically and has assured the people that the
 government means well by them, and is
 anxious to meet all their reasonable wishes. Among these the desire for re- stored nationality is not included, but in the scheme of conciliation pretty
 nearly everything else is admitted. Two
 or three newspapers are to be started
 in the place of those which were sup pressed, and it is promised that these
 shall not be edited by the govern nent,' which will be rather a new de-
 parture in Russian journalistic policy.
 More power to the new governor, if
 he will use it well.

Pension order number 7S isn't work ing exactly as some expected 1t to do, or, indeed, as most people expected 1t to do. Even Commissioner Wares ad- vance estimates on the cost of the old age pension seem to have been much too high. During the closing months of the last fiscal year, only about $9O,- 900 was added to the budget by reason of the order, and the 4,OOO names added since June 30, supposing that the aver age is sS a month, make only $3S4, 1000. To offset this, 1t is now said that with in a short time the pension office will be able to dispense with about five hundred clerks. If their salaries aver age $500, and if they are dispensed with, this will reduce the expense by almost as large a sum, even taking no account of the proposed reduction in the num- Der of medical examiners.
 Perhaps the clerks will not really be fired nilt into sa cold world. If they are not the showing made by Pension or der number IS will not be quite as shiny as 1t might be. Still, 1t is well enough to call attention to what might

The sedgwick (Kansas) Pantagraph doesn't give the usual advice to young men. This is the way 1t talks: We hear much about forging to the front, taking time by the foreIock, seizing the bull by the horns, and the like, and also that the man with the tail-hold is en- tirely ignored Nine men out of ten wisely follow, and succeed, where one does who charges around at the front all the time. If you miss the forelock seize the tail. It is the hanging on more than the particular hold that counts. The man will go just as fast and nearly as far who has hold of the tail as the one hanging on to the horn; besides, he can hold on better and is in less danger Young man, don't be too anxious to get rapidly to the front, but hang on to what you have, and you will get ahead in the world just as fast as you deserve.
