Protest Against Usual Hero.

It was a protest against the conven-
tional hero. and on the stage it was
ore of the earliest of modern prob
lem" plays. before problem plays
were recognized and labeled. 1t re-
quircs great good will TO the author
to believe that the heroine could re-
turn to her husbands house and re
main there without the husband see
ing through the transparent disguise
of pair of blue goggles. Modern
criticism is apt to characterize Lady
Isabel as a very silly woman and her
husband as very dense specimen OF
manhood.
While Mrs. Henry Wood was not
skillful in character drawing. she is
said to have had in mind a former
owner of Abberton Hall when she
drew Mr.. Carlyle. This gentleman
restored the old church and was gen
c:ally admired in the reighborhood

Abberton is the modern spelling of
the Ebriton of the Dome sday book,
and 1t goes back to Saxon times. when
its owners were the abbots of Per-
shore. In the reign of Edward /. the
name was changed to Albreton. and
in 1884 all the manorial rights and
patronage of the parish were granted
to Thomas and Francis Sheldon BY
Henry VIII. Until late in the eigh-
teenth century the Sheldors held the
manor. but then the estate passed
into the hands of F. Laslet. who rep
resented the borough of Worcester
in parliament for some years.

he was cross-examining the defendant

borther had called her hard names at
a certain time.

Statistics are not necessarily dull. In fact, some very interesting facts can be gleaned from the reports of the census taker If one only reads between the lines or, rather, draws philosophi- cal conclusions from the figures. An entertaining study has lately been made of age statistics collected by the census bureau and published under the caption, "A Discussion of Age Statis- ties" Among other things shown Is the increase in longevity in the United States. The median age of the aggre- gate population of continental United States-that is, the age which exactly divides the population into halyes-is 22S5 years. One-half the population Is above that, the other half below it.. This Is a great advance over the me dian age a century ago, which was 1897. Since 1920 the advance each decade has been on an average about two-thirds over the previous advance. The median age of the population hy- ing in cities of over 25,000 inhabitants Is about 31a greater than the popula- ton in smaller cities and In the rural districts. The reason for this Is that there is higher birth rate in the rural districts, while the younger adult pop ulation throngs to the cities. The me dian age in the North Atlantic and Western States is higher than In the South Atlantic and South Central States. This fact indicates that with all the severity of Northern winters, followed by indictment springs, the ell mate at the North is more favorable to health than Is that of the Southern States, with all their mildness. The fact that the median age Is advancing constantly offsets the tendency to a decreasing birth rate. A large number of births is not so important as the survival to middle and old age of those who are born. The economic waste is fearful where large proportion of children do not reach the tenth year. The further the median age advances so much the better for the entire pop ulation-economically and every way. Earning power counts but little before the age of 16, while in the case of scholars most of the time under % is spent in preparation for future work. Despite the anxiety regarding race sui eide, statistics make good showing in the United States. Because of the great decrease in the proportion of deaths of children under years of age during the last ten years the new decade may advance the median age far beyond that of any previous in- crease for the same length of time.

cial functions, the invariable mode of are fond of music, though not prof. cient In the art of making 1t, probably more from lack of opportunity than from lack of capacity. The violin and guitar are the usual instruments of music, the repertory of the local mu- sicians being usually limited to few tunes which are in equal demand for the dance and for the funeral.
 One of the most interesting and beautiful of the social functions is the prendorio. When young man wishes to marry he asks for the girl of his choice of the parents, not of the girl herself, and if she is given the prendorio at once follows. ushered in by shooting and demonstrations of joy. The bride and bridegroom are publicly presented to their future par ents-in-law, after which the company pass in procession in front of the couple, each one dropping a piece of money into the hands of the bride Then follows the inevitable dance. This public betrothal is considered al- most as binding as marriage, and I have heard of but one instance in which the compact was not kept, the recreant bridegroom in that case be- Ing visited with ostracism. The be- trothal is usually followed by marriage just as soon as the services of the priest can be secured. The marriage ceremony Is followed by feast more notable for the abundance of things to drink than for things to eat and by the usual dance.

Rebuilding Manila.

Plans have been perfected and the work begun of rebuilding Manila, and making 1t the beautiful city of the Orient. It will not only be clean and healthful with wide streets and attrac- tive plazas, but 1t will be capital of art as well.
 For example, for years open ditches throughout the city have been used for sewerage purposes, so that the public health has been put in jeopardy. These ditches will be made into clean canals, spanned by numerous bridges. Pleas ure boats will ply on them. A con- plete sanitary sewerage system will re- place the present ditches.
 The work of filling In 155 acres ad- joining Mallaco will give Manila an ideal pleasure ground for all the peo- pie. This drive Is a favorite resort, and the view Is said to be one of the most beautiful In all the Philippine Islands. Bandstands will be erected for popular concerts. Another import ant step is the construction of a com- plete water-works system, for which there has been bond issue of $4,OOO,- GOO. The water will be piped from the Mariquina Valley, 15 miles away.-The Worlds Work.

UNEXPECTED GOOD LUCK.

A retired banker who now lives In San Francisco is fond of telling the story of the way in which he was ''held up" by a desperado in Arizona. At that time the banker owned n small copper mine in Arizona, and had gone down there to show 1t to an eastern man who wished to buy. He liked the mine. and took it. and to the astonsh- ment of the former owner, he paid for it in United States bills of large de- nomination.
 I asked him how he dared to travel with so much money. but he laughed, says the banker, and replied that he didn't know any one in the region who would cash his check, and that no one knew he had the money, anyhow. Then I parted company with him. He rode back to Phenix, while I started with fresh pony toward the main line of the railway, twenty miles away.
 didn't feel very nervous, for I was riding across the desert, which was entirely flat except for the scattered blue mesas that stood like loaves of bread upon its surface. It was not until I saw another horseman coming toward me that scented trouble. You see this happened not very long ago, and the old habit of carrying weapons had already begun to fall off, so I was completely unarmed.
 Hello, stranger" said the newcom- CT, who looked extremely hard up." i've lost my way. Which way are you going?"
 I made the best of it and chatted pleasantly with him. Finally. when he had looked me all over, he said, Stranger, I've got gun and you haven't, I reckon, so I'll ask you to hand over your watch and money, and then I'll say good-by."
 He had taken out revolver, and 1t seemed advisable to follow his direc- tlons. I gave him my watch and loose change, but he did not seem satisfied, and made me get off my horse, and after he had prodded me he discov- cred the fat wallet of bills in my shirt.

 You aren't going to leave me here without clothes?" asked, angrily.
 He laughed then and said. "Oh, no, I'll give you my outfit, and won't charge you cent for It. Come now. I'm in hurry"
 I took off my clothes, and then, ac- cordlng to his command, turned my back while he cautiously took of his and put mine on. Then he jumped on his horse. looked at my watch. and said, "Good-by. stranger! Don't try to follow me. It ain't healthy"
 There was nothing for me to do but put on his old clothes and take an- other direction on my pony. was feel ing pretty miserable about the loss of my money-a little over seven thou sand dollars-and my watch, and did not feel any better by the time I reach ed the railroad and jumped off my horse at the station. I told my story, and they telegraphed a description of the man up and down the line, while I sat in the waiting room. I had made up my mind that should never see my money again, but suddenly, under my arm, resting at my side, I felt something that seemed stiffer than the cloth in the coat. I put my hand in, and there was the wallet! He had put 1t in his own clothes when he took 1t away from me, and in his hurry had forgotten to change 1t back again when he put on my suit.-Youth's Companion.

You would be surprised to know how many people go without breakfast nowadays. They call 1t the fasting cure. Some limit their meals to one day while taking the cure They don't touch food until the dln- ner hour, and then take a light meal. Others take a snack in the morning probably a toasted biscuit and a cup of hot milk, and a fairly substan- tial meal, without meat, late in the afternoon.
