PLEASURES OF THE RICH.
Writer In Life Sheds New Light on the
Subject.

There has, from time immemorial
been disposition to criticise the hab-
its of the very rich. on the ground
that they permit themselves too many
pleasures. There is popularity sup.
posed to be kind of unseemliness In
the spectacle of plutocrat indulging
himself in steam yachts, private cars
and golf links, summer camps and so
forth.
In reality this shows a mean spirit
toward the very rich. Why, indeed,
should we grudge them the few pleas
ures they have, when there are so
many that they cannot buy?
Certain brands of friendship or .
good digestion or hard working and
conscientious children, cannot be OBJ
tanned by the very rich. Instead, they
have to content themselves with all
the cheaper things that money can
buy.
Let them therefore enjoy themselves
In their small way. They deserve to
be made happy over trifles, assuming
that they always have the necessary
capacity.-Life.

CONGRESSMAN Writing Novel.

Congressman. Andrew Jackson
Barchfeld of Pittsburg, next to the
towering Cy Sulloway of New Hamp-
shire tallest man in the house, is writ
ing a romantic novel of life in Vir-
ginia. He refuses to discuss the sub
ject with hHs fellow statesmen and it
was only by accident that he let out
the secret to friend. This was
brought about by his asking the friend
to secure for him the exact words of
several famous Virginia melodies dear
to the hearts of the colored folks of
antebellum days. Into his novel he
will weave these old plantation songs.

Swiss shoemakers.

Swiss shoemakers work ten to IL
hours day. "The factory workman"
says Special Agent Butman, in a
United States government report, us
required during the summer to begin
his labor at 4: 80 or five a. m. This
early hour is demanded in order that
the fresh energies of the workers may
be obtained by the employer, as near
ly all artisans are engaged to great
er or less degree in agriculture for
personal benefit During the winter
season work in factories commences
at six o'clock: 15 and 20 minute rests
are allowed at nine and four O'Clock,
respectively, when refreshments of
beer and bread are taken. From one
to III hours are allowed for dinner.
The principal food of Swiss shoemak-
ers consists of bologna, bread and
cheese, with beer; fresh meat Is sell
dom eaten, unless on feast days;
soups are served on Sundays"

WASHINGTON AS A MODEL CITY
The Movement Has Lately Been Given
Decided Impetus.

The most notable piece of coopera-
ton has been in the movement to
make the national capital model city
in its social and economic environ
ment, as well as in broad avenue and
public building.
The Washington monument has a
stone from every state in the union.
The civic neglect of the District OF
Columbia has come from the same
quarries. For congress is the common
council of the district and year after
year had ad Mustered Cafeat to meas
ures that would restrict child labor
and lower an excessive infant NOR
tally; would require compulsory edu-
cation for ashingtcn children at the
hands of the same authority which
builds schoolhouses for the Tagalogs,
and would rae alley shacks, fairly un-
der the caves of the capitol, which, on
the word of two western senators,
were not fit for COW stables.
The fight against child labor and for
compulsory education has yet to be
won. But a wife-desertion bill was
passed, a juvenile court bill enacted
and judge Gppointed. two foul blind
alleys We're opened at once into minor
streets, the president commissioned
a special representative to investigate
conditions, and bill passed providing
for the con emnation of insanltary
dwellings, which had hung fire for
nine years. Here was more social leg
islation in five months than in as many
years before.

Waxed Paper Handy.

So many uses can be made Of
waxed paper that it is good economy
to save every scrap that comes into
the house. Large sheets of this may
be saved from cracker boxes and many
small cardboard boxes containing
candy, seedless raisins and other
fruit are lined with very good quail
ity of waxed paper. This paper is
fine for wrapping up lunches. 1t
keeps bread and cake moist, 1t is good
to paste over the tops of jelly glasses
or pots of jam, and, in fact, is SO
handy that it pays to save every
sheet

baggy trousers and the peg-top. The

the modern city man is too spindle

only the city mans legs that are de-
