Glasgow, Scotland, Has Shelter for
Widowers with Children.

In some influential quarters 1t
has been suggested that the London
county council should carry its
schemes for housing accommodation
a step farther and provide homes
for widowers with children.
The proposal, however, is not a
novel one. Such a municipal
scheme has been in operation in
Glasgow for the last ten years. 1t
is worked in conjunction with the
corporation model lodging houses,
and the slight loss on the "family
home," as it is called, is made up
by the surplus on "the houses"
The Glasgow building is a large
one, with about 100 bedrooms,
splendid kitchen accommodation, a
great dining hall, recreation rooms
for adults and children, and reading
room and library, a room for meet
ings and entertainments, a creche,
and a spacious playground. 1t is
in reality a place of shelter for re-
spectacle men of industrious habits
who are willing to submit to formal
discipline and to have their children
attended to during hours of en-
ployment, or, if they are helpless
little tots, nursed under trained
supervision.
Each sleeping room is designed
to accommodate one adult and three
, children. The rate per room t.
men is IS Cd per week; for a fathe.
with one child As I'd; for a fathe
with two children As 1Od-3s 81
/, for the parent and Sd for eacl

per week additional for each chill

tory. The charges for board are o

y the board charges are: Is 1Od pt

A VIII In rnree, Words,

In the probate division of the London
county court Sir GorelI Barnes was
asked to admit to probate the will Of
Frederick Thorn Of Amesbtiry avenue,
streatham,s who died leaving property
valued at $4,000. A day or SO before
he died, counsel stated, Mr.. Thorn, had
paralytic stroke. He asked for a
piece Of paper, and they gave an en-
velope to him. He wrote on the back
OF II, In the presence Of his wife and
two OF his children, "Alii to mother, F.
T." This was witnessed by Arthur
Thorn and Percy Thorn! The will was
handed up to his lordship, who remark
ed that it was probably the shortest
one on record. It was duly executed
and witnessed and he therefore pro:
nounced for it.

THE GROWTH OF TROUT.

Age, Food and Temperature Seem to
Have No Bearing ON Size. E.,
The Salveiinus fontinalis, which Is
currently but inac cllrately called brook
trout, was supposed for many years
TO be a small fish. Agassiz was
largely Instrumental Id exploding this
faliacy. It is not an uncommon thing
for an angler with ordinary luck to
get SIX or seven pound trout OF this
/ variety. It Is known that trout may
grow to weigh eleven or twelve pounds.
There is, however, great difficulty in
accounting for It's variation Id size.
In northeastern Canada there are
large streams and lakes in which only
fngerlings have; ever been found. u In
the Immediate vicinity OF such waters
three and four pound trout are quite
common and seven and eight Founders
are not phenomenal. In all these wa
tiers crustacea do not abound; there are
no small fish Of any kind except small
trout All the fish are pure fly feeders.
Az some places, it is true, frogs abound,
but taken as whole the difference in
food supply Is not an adequate ex-
PLANTATION for the difference Id growth.
There is no substantial difference in
the waters as to temperature, size,
origin and course. Climatic conditions
are the same. The small trout taken
to virgin lakes in which there are no
fish have sometimes grown to a great
size, have sometimes remained small
and sometimes have not thriven. The
anglers who haunt these waters have
not vet found d satisfactory explana-
don Of this peculiar condition of things.
! II, g one of the mysteries which lends
fascination to the art You never can
tell what Is going to happen when you

/ Jackals and hyenas are very fond Of
crocodile eggs. The former is the more
successful poacher Of the two. Ma
lives Of central Africa say that the
sackal has sixteen eyes, with one Of
which he watches the eggs and with
the fifteen others he looks out for the
crocodile. The hyena, on the other
hand, being very greedy, has all his
eyes on the eggs and so often falls a
Victim to the watchfm crocodile in mo-
Honless hiding. The natives say, too,
that the crocodile sometimes knocks
it's prey off the bank or off the canoe
with its tail and then seizes it with its
wide open jaws. -

prove powerful. Prof. r. A. Jennings.

the words of Rev. Hunter, breaches
better than nine tenths of the preachers
including myself" He is shining
testimony of what God will do for man

many as fifteen being at the alter at

People and Governorship.

II Is as sure az the unalterable decree
Of fate that the voters Of Pennsylvania
viii next fall elect no candidate for
governor who does not appeal to their
honest convictions. In tn. past theIun-
thinking citizens. ignorant of the cor
ruption that has been tributary to their
neglect, accepted the offered candidate
as . matter of party duty and thus
helped to perpetuate the i'll condition.
That time has passed away. The blind
ness Of the past has given way to the
light Of better understanding. Citizens
realize that genuine party fealty means
adherence to the high and unsullied
principles of party and not to the cor
ruptionists who masquerade under the
party name. II such men haye reached
. prominent place in its ranks then the
duty. Of released citizenship is to drive
them out. That is why, during the
coming campaign, it is so necessary to
nominate candidate for governor and
candidates for the legislature who have
something better to recommend them
than that they have been party workers
all their lives, unless for the advance
ment Of true Republican principles. 1t
is necessary to nominate and elect men
who are honest enough and independent
enough to be their own bosses, to stand
first Of all for real party principle and
for the sentiments Of their constituents.
It should be borne in mind that the
corruption which has disgraced Penn
sylvania should not be charged to the
party as whole, for the fact Is it is
confined to few central points and the
corruptionists have been amply repudi-
ated by the true Republicans Of the

POLITICAL.

The extra session Of the Legislature
was expected to develop some candi-
dates for the state offices to be filled,
this year, but it did not. OF course
some new names became prominent,
but no special ''boom" developed for
Governor or any other of the state
oflces.
The new election law annuls, or ap-
parsntly annuls our political agreement
with Westmoreland county regarding
the representation in Congress, and 1t
win be well for our candidate and his
conferees, this year, to ascertain what
the politicians Of Greensburg intend do
ing about it next year; as they can, II
they wish, treat MS fairly by not putting
forward man two years hence. Our
old Congressional district-Butler, Mer-
Ger, Lawrence and Beaver-was changed
by the last Congressional apportionment
bill. Lawrence and Beaver were at
tached to Washington county because
Quay wanted to down Ernest Acheson
Of Washington county, thing he fail
cd to accomplish, and then he made a
deal with Acheson. Mercer county
became q part of Joe Sibley's shoe
string district to the North of us, and
Butler was tied to Westmoreland, q
county Of about three times our popu-
lation, because there was no other place
to put us.
Hon. Joseph Burlington. u. g. Judge
for the Western District Of Pennsyl-
vania and formerly Of Kittanning, is
being urged by his friends to be q can
didate for Governor.
