Coal in London.

every winter day 100000 tons of
smoke are poured out of London's
chimneys." This is the age of Stats
tics; but, familiar as we are with ap-
palling figures quoted from an impor,
tant London daily paper, these take
the breath away, says the London
Chronicle. The fact of the matter is
that "only" 100000 tons of coal en-
ter London in year, and that sup
plies the houses within a radius of Is
miles of Charing Cross. There are
only some 100000 houses, with 1,700,-
900 fireplaces. Where do the 5,OO0,-
900 tons of smoke come from? If all
the air that passes up the chimneys
during the process of combustion ev-
cry day is regarded as smoke, there
may be possible answer, but for such
q calculation a Lord Kelvin is nesded.

How to Be Slender.

How to become slenderl Let the
maiden inclined to embonpoint follow
this advice, and her form should be-
come as willowy as she could wish.
Rise early and take a cold bath, rub
bling vigorously afterwards with a
coarse towel or flesh brush. Take a
cupful of water before breakfast.
Take one small cup of tea at break
fast, some dry toast, boiled fish or a
small outlet, and baked apple or a
little fruit. At dinner, which should
be at midday, take white fish or meat,
dry toast or stale bread, vegetables
or fruit, either fresh or stewed; for
supper, toast, salad, fruit, and six
ounces of water. Hot water with
lemon juice in it is also good for sup
per. When you have followed all these
rules, and find yourself fairy-like in
proportion, then you may begin to con-
template smart clothes such as only
the slender can wear.

Dwindling Philanthropy.

Why have the gifts and requests OF
Americans to charitable, educational
and like objects fallen off every year
since 1901? In that year they reached
the total of $123,SS8,732; in 1902 they
were $77,397,167; in 1903 they were
$76,934,97S; in 1904 they were $46,-
29G,980, or but little over one-third
the total of 1901. Is the falling off
due to our decline from a prosperity so
extraordinary in 1901 as to intoxicate
our wealthy men into a generosity be-
yond their ability to maintain? Or,
has it become commonplace to give
money for philanthropic objects? Or
are some of our millionaires becoming
resentful at the public disposition to
ask, Where did you get it?"
The sum Of benefactions for 1904
is imposing, as it stands. 1t would be
more conclusive as a demonstration
of the national benevolence if it come
from more sources; about one-quarter
of the whole, or 81 ,243, 230, comes
from one man-Andrew Carnegie.
In the division of the funds. the edu-
cational institutions come first with
$21, 235, 452, followed by the charities
with $16,752,27S, religious enterprises
with $5,842,S90 and libraries with ST.
Sal, 800. The museums and art gal
leries receive only $685. 00.-New

Were it not for the disgusting self

taste and refinement. How the hen
manages to put up with it is certainly
one of the mysteries of the coop. If

or twice he would soon discover that
he was not the only kernel on the

A Bird That Remembers.

The homing instinct lasts for life,
and bird sometimes attains the az
of 16 years, says writer in Country
Life, in America. During the Franco
Prussian war the French caught
homing pigeon which was being SCI
to transmit information out of the
besieged city of Paris. The bird wa
made a prisoner of war and kept ia
confinement for 10 years. When Civ
en- its liberty it at once returned to
it's old home, showing that 10 years
was not sufficient to drive from It's
mind the memory Of home.-Our

.Iail Life In Japan.

Imagine park or garden in the jap
anese style, with dwarf trees, sur
rounded, by hedge instead of wall,
in this park group of Japanese
houses, like those occupied by the
peasants. The prisoners are all at
work proportional to their physical
ability. Some are threshing and grind
ing rice; others are weaving coarse
cloth of a dark red color, of which the
prison uniforms are made; the old
and infirm are separating leaves Of
paper. All of them receive a percen-
tage of their earnings. The younger
prisoners are in school, The disci-
pine is military in form, but in it's
spirit, reformatory.
There are few evasions, notwith-
standing the ease with which they
could be effected. One reason for this
is the efficiency of the Japanese po-
lice. which is said to be the best in
the world. The prisoners are divided
into three grades, and are differently
fed. according as they are idle and re-
fractory, amenable to discipline, or ex-
ceptionally we'll behaved. The only
other punishment is solitary confine.
ment in a sort of dungeon, not ex-
ceeding five days. No prisoner may
be discharged, however short his term
of sentence, unless his family or
friends assume responsibility for him.
The result has been the organization
of large number of prisoners aid
secieties.-Pall Mall Gazette.
