A FAMOUS ALMANAC.

The Almanach de Gotha is more than an almanac. II is an institu- tion. Bravely arrayed in red and gold, it lies on the table of every di- plomatist, is in constant request in the newspaper offices. of all countries, and makes wider and more international appeal than any other annual of ref erence in the world. It is to Europe what Burke and Debrett and the other peerages are to the British isles, and it is also the lineal ancestor and model of such topical encyclope- dias as our Whitaker, our Hazell and our Statesman's ear-Book A poli- tical and social history of the world for the last 150 years could be written from It's back numbers if these were readily accessible to students But they are not The Almanach de Gotha began to appear in 176S, but the pur- chasers did not file it for reference. The earliest numbers In the British museum are those for 1774 and 1783; and complete set can be consulted 1 nowhere except in the editorial office ] in Frlederichs Alice in the little Thuringian capital. whence the 141st issue was lately published. Probably not one in 10000 of those who cur rently use the almanac has any knowledge of its interesting history
 It had, of course, its predecessors The bibliographies or almanacs arc ponderous tonnes and the middle oi the 18th century was the golden agt of this kind of literature. In Paris alone as many as 7S almanacs were published in the year 17O0, including a royal almanac, an almanac fol merchants, an almanac for Freema
 sons, an almanac of beasts, an al
 manac of badinage, etc. The city oi
 Gotha, itself had it's own almanac
 from a still earlier date, in the shap,
 of an Improved Gotha Genealogical :. and Writing Calendar" the origin O

THE RUsE OK WIDOW PATCH.

The lonely widow named Patch (the phrase suggests a limerfck) of South Royalston, Mass, who hung crape on her doorknob to attract to her cot tage neighbors who had previously refused to call, adopted c cheerful ex- pedient which can hardly be profitably employed by the socially neglected m largo cities.
 An American woman of newly ac- duired wealth who took house for the season in Curzon street, Mayfair, and found her neighbors inattentive, could hardly hope to win them py hanging out a knot Of crape or even an expensive hatchment. Death IS not socially attractive on it's own account, amid the complex activities of me- 1 tropolis, but Mrs Pavch's hitherto ineglectful neighbors flocked to her l home to see how natural she looked and learn the history of the malady which caused her supposed demise. Death never loses its novel interest lr a rural community
 Mrs. Patch, having once attracted the neighbors, naturally interested them as a revived corpse, so they stayed to talk, and the social ice was broken. We trust that the old lady will be found So entertaining in tsao 1 future that she will never have to complain again of lonesomeness. She
 has ingenuity and daring enough to be a social leader.
 There Is a hint of pathos in the inT
 cident and touch or the grotesque,
 which suggest New England char
 acter tale by Mary Wilkins or Alice
 Brown. Mrs. Patch is scarcely typ- Heal New Englander of the approved
 pattern, but she is the kind of eccen- tric parsonage New England country life often develops according to those Iveracious story tellers and the brief narrative of her queer social experi- ment is worthy of amplifcation by a 1 student of character.-New York Times

HOW GERMANY HELPS BOYS.

When an American boy leaves school he does not always know what sort of work he wants or Is fit for. Or even when he knows exactly what kind of job he desires, he often does not know at all how to find it. Such a job as he aims for may not exist within his opportunities of place and time. So the boy leaving school may drift into an unsuitable occupation, or worse, into no occupation at all, in spite of an honest wish originally to work. In Germany they order these things better.
 EveryAyear printed schedules of comprehensive questions are sent to every head teacher of the Munich schools who are going to leave the schools that year The pupils are asked to put themselves in communi- cation with the municipal labor bu- reau, which will advice them as to the choice of a vocation, and give them the best chance possible to secure work. Yearly circulars are also sent to all the trade guilds and other la- bor societies to enlist their co-opera- ton.
 The children respond readily to the aid given them Boys come by doz- ems to the offices of the bureau in search of positions as apprentice or beginner. Each brings a form of ap- plication filled up by himself, but signed by his teacher. When the bu- reau finds a place for him he is noti- fled by postcard and presents himself for examination by the employer, wherever the latter may appoint Whether the boy takes the job or moi he must report to the bureau the re- suit of the interview, and this goes on until work is procured which suits him and which he is able to do. For the direction of the boSs the labor bureau has prepared, with the aid of expert employers and medica men, a handbook of the industriei open to a boy. This handbook de scribes the different kinds of work the qualifications necessary to each the prospects of promotion or stead! employment, the health conditions the dangers and difficulties, the cos and time of training and everythinl else which the boy and his parent ought to know before choosing his ca f reer
 A women's committee has lateT been appointed to look after the girls also, from the schools. So the youn people of Munich have a f1rst-rat chance for a good start in life.- Youths Companion.

FOR A FEDERAL CLEARING.

The signal service performed dur ing the past few days by the New York clearing house has served to call attention again to the great value of this institution in providing adequate co operation among the banks in time of severe financial srrain. However. great the competition between the banks at other times when trouble apnroaches they are able to get to- gether in the clearing mouse for mus tual protection.
 The object lesson given of the value of the clearing house should serve to strengthen the proposition for binding k the different clearinghouse together in a federal association, such as was proposed by MT. Parker at the last convention of the American Bankers association. It might be well if congress would recognize the exist ence of these institutions and. provsa- ing means for their combination into federal association, clothe them with larger authority than they can possess as private bodies, and give them the power of issuing emergency circulation. This might take the place of central bank. Tn fact, such federal clearinghouse would | practically amount to a bank of banks.-Wall Street Journal

LIFE IN THE HOMERIC AGE" by Thomas Day Seymour Hillhouse Profess sor of the Greek Language and Liter ature In Yale University; the, Mac- milan Company, New York.
 The authors name is guarantee that the work before us has been thoroughly and carefully done. The title is perhaps not quite so definite as might be desired and it is only by reading his introducto~s passages that the real object of Professor Seymour is clearly set forth Here he states what are not the subjects he treats of: "A handbook which endeavors to cov- CT the whole field of Homeric antiqui- ties, must be content with registering the most important facts in regard to the life which the poet depicts, and seeking to make clear the relation be- 1 tween these facts It cannot enter into the question of origins and pur- sue inquiries as to the connection be- tween these facts and an earlier pe- riod of civilization. We cannot ask whether the Trojans were Phrygians or of Greek stock. Nor is it within our province to endeavor to determine un- der what special influences the Achae- an civilization was developed and where its center lay, whether in Crete or on the mainland of Hellas Nor can we discuss the exact relations of

 charming and heart touching story, or chronicle of the toll-gate hamlet of Beartown, Vermont, in pre- revolutionary days. The narrative is simple, quaint and wholesome. The central theme is the romance of Ma omi, the Turnpike Lady The spirit and customs of those old days is brought out vividly anu humor and pathos enliven the story. The de- scriptive work is realistic The two chief families are the Darbys and the Polkes, ardent royalists and James Darby drilled and led forth the Bear town "Whig Biters," the defenders of the King.

 ball, who proposes to utilize Elijah and his printing press by publishing yil- lage newspaper.
 Elijah Doxey's novel ideas as to the conduct of newspaper, visit by Su- san Clegg to the club wemen's biennial, her views on the Democratic and Re- publican parties, the marital experi- enees of Grandma Mullins son Hiram, and celebration of Independence Day, are among the principal chapters.
 The several remarkable happenings of the story are narrated by Susan Clegg to her friend, Mrs. Lathrop.
 Susan Clegg is the Susan of old ir- i {resistibly funny in her perfect selfish ness but now and then repelling one with her calm and undeniably just statements as to the good sure to ac- crue from the death of certain persons. Susan's boarder is a trifle shallow and has many tribulations, due partly to Susan's method of managing him. The hot water" this young editor gets in- to furnishes much amusement for the reader even if the. constant monologue is a little wearing and though Susan asserts that she isn't much of talk er.' But there is the effervescent, bub- bling humor which is constantly pres ent and the quaint turns of expression which give the reader genuine amuse- ment. Susan is irrepresslble and better than ever as fun maker, and a cure for the blues. There is moreover ar undercurrent of genuine keen satire or some of the foibles of human nature Among the chapters most provocative of hilarity are Susan Clegg's Full Day." "The Biennial" "The Trial ot Mrs. Macy" Celebrating Independence Day." and ''The Trial of a Sick Maj in the House." The book is well il lustrated by Alice Barber Stephens.
