A Trick of the Trade.

William Little Bigger, whose name you have doubtless very often seen in the magazines in connection with po- etry, was doubtless shining light in the literary Armament, but he had risen so high that he was beyond the reach of poverty. Meeting fellow la bOrer, he ran his hand in his pocket (which was probably empty) and said {:
 Say, Miggs, have you got change for a quarter?"
 Sure" was Miggs' reply; but the blow nearly killed father when Will liam Little Bigger said:r ,.y
 Please lend me a dime."-Lippln- c0tt'A

His Natural Conclusion.

"I'm entertaining Miss Sniggs, the most popular girl in our class" said the Bryn Mawr girl. I'd like you to meet her."
 NO, thank you," replied Dick, I'm not interested in homely girls"
 "Why, how did you know she was homely?"
 "She must be or she wouldn't be so popular with you other girls; also, you wouldn't want me to meet her."-Phil- adelphia Press.

BUILDING LIMIT IN BERLIN.
PlaM to Erect Structures Seventy.
 two Feet High DisprOved Of.

PlnM to Erect Structures Seventy.
 two Feet High Disproved Of.
 The German authorities place ex- tremely rigid restrictions on the height of buildings. According to her consu- lar reports, memorial has recently been submitted urging that permission be granted for the construction of steel frame buildings in Berlin in excess of the present limit twenty-two meters from pavement to cOrnice, little over scventy-twO feet
 It was urged that the rapid growth of the city. both in population and busi ness, made it necessary for more room to be provided, and this could be most economically done by allowing build ings of greater height. That would check the present tendency to eXpan- sion over steadily increasing area. 1t was further urged that the relaxation of the building regulations would open up a larger market for the steel and iron products of Germany, point that would be O. value in the development of these industries.
 The petition. however, failed to gain its end, and the reasons given for the refusal were that high buildings would be above the level of the present water supply, so that they could not be made clean and sanitary. It would put the upper stories beyond the protection of the fire department as 1t was at present equipped, and the ministries were op- posed to any system of construction that might lead to large buildings d. vided into number of small apart ments where many persons of both sex es and all ages would live under con- ditions which are necessarily subversive of normal family life and prejudicial to public morals."
 The ministries held themselves bound, according to our consul, Ito con- sider and protect not only the archi- tectural unity and beauty of the city, but the health and the moral and phy- sical safety of the people, all of which would, in their opinion, be compromised by the proposed innovation"
 Here in Boston building limit al- most double that established in Berlin is considered as hardship by property owners, for the tendency in American cities has been quite distinctly toward the construction of buildings of great height. There are now in New York dozen buildings that are more than twice as high as the building limit es. tablished for our own city.-Bostop Herald.

OLD AoE PENSIONS IN GERMANY.
How the Amount Is Determined-
 Belgium and Italy.


 In Germany there obtains general system of compulsory insurance against old age and invalidity, says the Cham bers Journal. An old age pension is payable on the recipient attaining 70 years of age. It is composed of two parts contribution from the state of two pounds ten shillings per annum; the balance is made up of contributions from the employers and employed In equal shares. The amount of the pen sion depends on the wage class, of which there are five, which alss deter mines the amount of the weekly cOntri- button.
 The minimum invalidity pension for first wage class Is three pounds, plus government contribution of two pounds ten shillings-tOtal, five pounds ten shillings per annum; ranging up to minimum of seven pounds ten shillings for class ,. These amounts are ill., creased according to the number Of weeks contribution to the fund.- The old age pension amounts to five pounds ten shillings per annum, including gov ernment contribution of two pounds ten shillings for class 1, ranging up to eleven pounds ten shillings per annum for class 5. These amounts are in- tribution is twelve pfennig (three half pence) for class 1, increasing in pro- portion to thirty-six pfennigs (fOur- pence halfpenny) for class 5.
 Not only do Belgium and Italy also give lead to Great Britain; our own colonies are far in advance of the mother country. In New Zealand per sons reaching the age of 65 whose in come does not exceed f1 per week re- celve a pension of f18 per annum, roughly z shiliings per week. The act of Parliament which gives this power has clause which is worth repetition {: "Whereas, 1t is equitable that deserv- ing colOnists who during the prime of life have helped to bear the public bur dens of the colony by the payment of taxes and to open up its resources by their labor and skill, should look to the colony for pension in their old age" This strikes one as sound doctrine, the justice of which is as applicable to the old country as to the new.
 A not uninteresting sign of the times comes from France. A leading plank in M. Rouvier's platform was old-age pen sions. The government of France at present subsidies the pension funds of trade and friendly societies, but no gen eral scheme of Ol,l-age pensions has yet been adopted.
