A railroad company which has been wont to boast itself as the "spotless road" has at last found speck ot dirt says an exchange. But finding the dirt, the officials set about to eradi. cate it, hence an order has been issued by the trainmen as the ladies glove" order It requires that each trainman shall go on duty provided with bunch Of waste" with which he shall wipe the iron handles just before the train stops at stations. The object is to keep the rails clean, particularly in stormy weather, and when they get wet and grimy, so that passengers get ting on and off trains need not soil their gloves or other wearing apparel. Such a regulation has never before been put in force on any railroad as applying to general service. There is some con- plaint, on the quiet, from trainmen. who insist that in bad weather the order will subject them to mu) extra exposure.

Recently a blind mendicant was ar. rested in New York. When taken into court on charge of soliciting aims in public. the beggar admitted that he was possessed of competency and that begging was not necessary for his support. But he asserted that he did it as recreation. To inquisltive otfi- cials who demanded to know what en- joyment such an occupation could pos sibly afford, the blind beggar said, in substances: 'Since. cannot see like other persons, I must do something, and I would go mad if I sat ill the house all the tlme." This mendicant is a type of a class becoming all too numerous in these days, says one writer. He represents a vast multi tude of individuals, most of whom do not ask aims, but all of whom are in- capable of getting any pleasure out Of life other than that which comes from close and continuous pursuit of gain full occupation long after the necessity for toll has passed. Thousands of these men who have acquired great wealth follow their old lines of work for the same reason that the blind beg gar stood on the street corner, but without the partial justification that was his because of his aftliction. They cannot read or think except of ''husl- ness;;'' the artistic pleasure of litera- ture, music, statuary, pictures, the drama are meaningless to them; they do not know even the alphabet of the language ill which the artists soul eX- presses itself. Their natures are so barren of everything except practical business talent that they can find no solace in solitude, and if compelled to remain at home all day they would become if not insane, at least pro- foundly miserable. It is one of the pen alties necessarily paid to the gods Of an over practical age; it is the logical result of an era in which the spirit Of commercialism reigns. How to com bat it and yet avoid the other extreme is by no means the least of to-days educational problems.

Ease in money Is not confined to New York, says Banker Clews. All the large European financial centers are well supplied with funds at low rates Even in Paris, the point of greatest sensitiveness, there is plethora of idle money and little disposition to in vest 1t. Paris has been greatly strengthened by gold imports, chiefly drawn from the United States and pre- sumably as protection to Russian finances. But the new Russian loan seems to have been delayed, probably because Parisian bankers wished to wait until internal disorders had been suppressed by the army, which has proved loyal to the government and thus immensely strengthened it's status. The foreign money markets are therefore not at present threatened by Russian difficulties. If Russian credit is maintained the new loan win b. placed without disturbance, and since the Japanese have their war finances well in hand and provision made to carry on the war until 1906
 the war is not likely to disturb interna' tional markets provided there be nc serious break in Russian bonds. French and Dutch holders of Russians continue to show great confidence in Russia's financial strength, howsoever financial experts elsewhere may regard it.

 We have not so much to keep our eyes on France and the Mediterranean as to look with more anxiety. though not fear. toward the North Sea. It Is for this reason that the fleets have been distributed to enable them to deal with any danger in that direction. should it unfortunately occur. rather than de voting their attention to the Nediter- ranean.- This remarkable declaration of a civil lord of the British admiralty has not helped to diminish the strength Of the anti-Enylish sentiment in the land of the Kaiser.
