OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Endow Homes For the Aged.
(The Minneapolis Tribune.)

(The Minneapolis Tribune.)
 The privately endowed homes for the aged constitute form of benevolencc most praisewortby. Those blessed with abundant means cannot make g better use of their surplus than to di- rect it into this chapnel. It Is nothing less than torture for a man or woman accustomed to refined surroundings to be obliged to go to public almshouse; but in these privately endowed homes their declining years are passed in comfort and usually in contentment. There cannot be too many such homes. It is almost always possible for an aged person of good life and character to secure the fee required for admis- sion. There is generally some relative or group ,of friendsAto furnish It. if the applicant has nothing left from his or her former prosperity. The inmates are not regarded as paupers and need feel no humiliation. The companion ship is usually congenial, and the housing and food equal to that of well- to-do families The Saleidoscopic changes of fortune leave many strand ed who were once floating blithely. A contributor to fund for home for the aged who is now in the prime of life may perchance be providing for his own less prosperous future.

The Hunters,

There is a rest for every living thing The wide-winged bird comes from the
 darkening sea At nightfall to the quiet of his nest; The gray fox slips with morning to his
 hole In the high cliff, the little lonely worm, Weary with many travels in the grass, Creeps to his crevice home and is at
 peace, But the wild souls that go the way of
 hate, They have no sheltering roof, no hiding
 place. They wander, wander in the night and
 rain, They tread the desert; for their own
 wild hands Have broken down the bright warm
 house of love, aRl laaiS The only covert rdi the heart of man. Edwin Markham in the Nautilus.

THE SPIRIT OF PC EsY.

Awhile ago it was announced that the best work of a well-known poet was done on diet of prunes and milk. For the encouragement of poets and poesy we did our part toward spread ing the useful information, and we add ed that good poetic work had been done on onions and tripe. We are now able, by the courtesy of a poet, to tell how the onions and trlpe should be prepared, as follows: Cut two pounds of boiled tripe into inch pieces. Peel, slice and fry in little butter four mild onions. When of a golden brown color turn them into a deep baking dish lay on them the tripe, dust with pep per and salt and one tablespoonful oi flour. Pour over milk sufficient to GOV CT, put over the dish tight-fitting lit and bake for two hours When done skim off the fat, turn into heated dish and serve.
 With this as basis almost anybody ought to be able to write poetry, bu if anybody finds that he or she cannot be thus inspired there Is "corned-bee and to fall back on Poesy should never be allowed to languish for lacl of suitable inspiration.

AN EAST JOB.

Lieutenant Colonel Morton H. Mag nus, of the Norwegian army has ar rived in Chicago direct from Chris tlana. Col Magnus frankly states that the government and public in his coun- try are disturbed by the excessive emil grafton to America and are seeking ways of arrestlng the movement and saving the new nation, none too strong in population, from dangerous deple- ton. His mission to this country Is to study the conditions that make the United States so attractive to Nor wegians, especially In the Northwest, where they have settled in very large numbers.
 Colonel Magnus will have no trouble In finding out why this country Is SC attractive to his countrymen. Very brief observation of the boundless and bounding West will show him. And un- less he is decidedly and fully contented with his own lot we shall not be bit surprised to read soon that he has re- signed his place in the army and "lo- cated" in this country. The United States is a tip-top place to locate in and to stay in.

4 PLEASANT SURPRISE.

The wrath of man doesn't always work as those against whom it is di- rected have a notion that it will. Ne braska's two-cent fare law has been in operation about seven months, and the talk is that it is making money for the railroads. They carry more passen- gers than ever before. The local trains on the Union Pacific are so crowded that it has been found necessary to accept local tickets on the through coast trains, and it is preparing to in- stal an exclusive train between Omaha and Ogden for baggage and express, re- lieving it's regular lines of everything except passengers. It has also installed several new regular trains, and almost every passenger train sent out by the road is run in two and three sections. At the time the new rate law went into effect the company ceased work on half dozen big cut-offs, but since then work has been resumed on them all, and double-tracking between Omaha and Ogden is in progress as fast as big force of laborens can push the job, The Burlington is also sharing in this rush of business Northwestern has added several new lines to northern

Connecticut Tobacco.
tHartford Courant.)

Af1dIllOIu COul dnl
 The tobacco is now practically all in, as the saying is, and in this case it means just what it says, The tobacco crop is rever regarded as safe until it is cut and hung in the sheds. There has been lot of anxiety this season In the beginning the raw weather compelled a good many farmers to set twice, some even three times. The long drouth affected the leaves serious ly and there was a good deal of disap- pointment as the cutting time drew near, beside fear that an early frost might nip delayed growth. But the cold held off, mellow days followed mellow days and the end of the season was it's choicest part. The tobacco that staid out and risked the frost the long est has proved the best and very excel lent.

NOT THE SAME OLD STORY.

One of the things which could be re- lied on to produce mild sensation as the year rolled around was what Is known as Great Britain's Drink Bill. It was a big one, and is still, but there has been a cheering decrease in 1t. The consumption of beer reached the max mum in 1900, being 322s gallons per head of the population. It has steadily declined each year since, last year be- ing only 27s1 gallons per head. In 1900 the average per individual of spirits consumed was 11S gallons, last year 91 gallon. In ten years the number of brewers licenses has declined from B. 305 to 4,9s5, and the number of ven- ders of intoxicating liquors from 2SS S,702 to 222,394. In the same time the popu- latlon of the country has increased about ten per cent. Wine imports also have decreased.
 It was long ago evident that Great Britain would have to drink less if she didn't want to become a nation of drunkards, and 1t is encouraging to find that she is drinking less. With Kentucky going back on its native whiskey, and England going back on it's favorite gin, the fact that this is a world of change is plainly apparent. It is to be hoped that this change will continue and increase

Xyloin Is the name given by it's manufacturers, a German firm at Plauen, to a kind of paper thread made from wood fiber According to the descriptions given in various tech nical publications, this new product can be used in the looms in the same way that cotton and linen yarns are used The thread is not brittle, and has a hard surface; it has great ten- sile strength, and is capable of being woven into all manner of cloth, from pocket handkerchiefs to floor carpets. Xyloin neither shrinks nor stretches in any appreciable degree, and moisture has no particular effect upon 1t. It is susceptible to dyes to considerably greater extent than cotton and linen, while the price is only one-third that of the former and one-tenth that of the latter material.

Until few years ago the Philip pine islanders held their Sunday on the day which was Monday to the in- habitants of the neighboring island of Borneo. This curious anomaly arose from the historic fact that the Philip pines were discovered by Spanish Voyagers coming from the east, around Cape Horn, while Borneo was discovered by Portuguese coming from the west, and sailors lose or gain a day, according to their direction in crossing the Pacific.

The Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company reports that it annually pays in settlement of claims for dam ages for injuries received on its cars seven per cent. of its receipts. Last year the amount was almost million and quarter, sufficient to pay two per cent. dividend on it's capital stock. Many if not a majority of these claims the company believes are fraudulent but frenzied criticism by the public has, the report implies, rendered the company afraid to trust it's rights in the courts

The King of Portugal is well known at a gourmet. He possesses a most ex- cellent appetite, but its qualification has its drawbacks. The King has be- come extremely obese, but he doesn't follow the example of American finan- ciers desirous of regulating their di- gestive functions by taking the cure in the Bohemian resorts. Don Carlos, obeying the orders of his medical ad- wiser, takes his meals on chair fitted with a weighing apparatus, and as soon as the index marks certain fig ure the King quits the table. He hopes with this regime and much ex- ercise his weight may be reduced to | 260 pounds.
