Origin of MChaufeurv

There were chauffeurs long before
automobiles. History tells us that
about the year 1895 men strangely ac-
coutered, their faces covered with SCOT
and their eyes carefully disguised, en-
tered by night farms and lonely habi-
tations and committed all sorts of dep
relations. They garroted their vic
Tins, dragged them before a great fire,
where they burned the soles of their
feet and demanded information as to
the whereabouts of their money and
jewels; hence they were called "chauf-
feurs," a name which frightened so
much our good grandmothers.-Par

In the conduct of the police depart.
ment in an English city we find a
striking comparison with our Amer
lean notion of police work In Man
chester, as in London, the policeman
Is always the servant of the public.
AS in London, he carries neither club
nor revolver. His duties are very
nearly the same as those of New
York officer. 1t is in his method of
doing his work that the striking diff
ference lies. He is always quiet, al
ways neat, always respectful, even
deferential, in his treatment Of the
public. Such Overbearing manners as
we sometimes see in New York police
men would not be tolerated in Man
chester-or in London, for that mat
ter-Success.

The Gardener.

1t is at once the joy and the despair
of gardener that his work is never
done. His materials are growing,
changing, ever varying things This Is
an endless delight to a man who lives
with his garden and watches his plans
grow up. When he makes garden for
another it is different matter. Then,
after spending his best thought and
skill, the garden must be turned over
into the hands of the Philistine, who
may, doubtless will, spoil his color eff
fects, make gaudy what before was
rich, introduce tawdry display where
before was sensitive delioacy. These
are the things that try mems souls and
will continue to try them until the own
ers of large places acquire some de-
gree of sympathy with and under
standing of art.-Century.

Ch:Id,s View of Art.

A lover of rare old china had col
lection that was the envy of her visit
ors. One day little girl came with
her mother for CALL and, being seat
ed in the living room, wonderingly
eyed the array Of antique dishes. The
hostess was much pleased at the child's
evident admiration of her treasures and
said, well, my dear, what do you
think Of my china?" The child looked
up, and pity was in her eyes as she
asked, Hasn't you dot any pantry?"

Child Love.

Welcome to the parents the puny
struggler, strong in his weakness, his
little arms more irresistible than the
soldiers, his lips touched with persua-
sion which Chatham and Pericles in
manhood had not. His unaffected
lamentations when he lifts up his voice
on high, or, more beautiful, the sobbing
child, the face all liquid grief, as he
tries to swallow his vexation, soften
all hearts to pity and to mirthful and
clamorous mpassion-Emerson.
