Proteetina School chlldren.

The Minister of Public Instruction
IN France has taken the lead of all
the world in measures for the proven
ton of consumption in the schools. A
new law requires that an examination
OF every pupil shall be made once In
three months, and the blight. the
weight, the chest measure and the
general physical condition of every
one shall be entered on the pupils
report The schoolrooms receive the
same preventive attention. Carpets
are prohibited. curtains must be OF
cloth that may be frequently washed;
no dry sweeping is allowed. and dust
must be removed by wet cloths; all
school furniture must be often
secured; books are regularly disin-
fected, and no book that has been
used by a consumptive child may be
used by another person.

CITY hermlts.

A big city ike New York has all
sorts of people, as we'll as all kinds
OF races. in It. says the New York
Mail and Express Every now and
then it finds it has among its inhabi-
tants the most curious sort Of denizen
that a big city could have-a hermit.
Unlike its village characters, its
Deverys and Little Judge Duffeys"
and Original Cohens," who are known
and numbered, New York never
hears of its hermits until death sends
hem to their account. 1t lost one
such recently when a widow OF sc
passed away in squalid little cottage
in upper Second avenue, leaving a for
tune that may approximate half mil
lion dollars. Few knew her, or even
ever saw her except the old man who
used to collect her rents and run her
errands, and who, singularly enough,
was found dying OF apoplexy at about
the same time she was discovered
dead.
What was the story behind that
quarter of century # seculusion the
world does not know. But 1t credits
II to the account of truth as old as
great cities. that in a city he who wills
II can make for himself a solitude as
profound as the deserts.

Lord Randolph churchIII's Great Mis-

The circumstances connected with

proved his ruin. That is to say, hav-

PEELED to supplicate him to return on

sumo Office. Day after day passed
and nothing came-not messenger,
not note, not a syllable of any de-
scription. What did 1t all mean?
Could II be possible that he was neg
ligible quantity. and that they were
going TO do without him, after all? A
paragraph in the Times soon enlight-
ened him. Taking up the paper at
breakfast, the announcement met his
eye that Mr.. Goshen had been offered
and accepted the post OF chancellor Of

HARRlMAN's GIFT TO CHARITY
Millionaire Is Liberal to Those He
Thinks Well Of.

Thinks Well Of.
E. II. Hartman is member OF that
small group of well-known millionaires
that remembers the Biblical injunc-
ton not to let the left hand know
what the right hand doeth, when doing
aims.
His philanthror.es are as varied as
many mans whose good deeds are
trumpeted throughout the land. But
while they are thus carried on quietly
they are also done in gruff sort Of
way.
The man who has charity TO place
before Mr.. Hartman walks into his
office.
You're Mr.. So-and-So," says Mr.
Hartman. Quick, now, I'm a busy
man."
Ugh" the financier grunts a mo-
ment later. That's the institution at
such-and-such a street know about

good men and women. Here"-turn-
Ing to his secretary-see that this
gentleman gets a check for $1,000.
that's all right-haven't time for
thanks. Good-day."
And the visitor walks out of the Of
fee In a dazed sort of way. But
sometimes the seekers after charity
are dazed in the opposite direction.
Il know your place" mir Hartman
will say. IT'S no good-not making
the right kind OF men and women.
You can't get cent from me. Good
day"
