This movement is not in the in
terest of any party or class but one
purely of charity and love. Both So

grand work in relieving many poor

thereby taxing societies very severely.
Ladies on tag day will be stationed

CHEERING Reading.

Records of averted disasters do not
get the attention that Is given to dis
asters unaverted, but they make more
cheerful reading and lift ones faith in
human nature. The other day a Long
Island Sound steamer caught fire, and
there might have been another horror
like the burning of the General Slo-
cum. But there was no loss Of life,
no panic. The pilots kept the steamer
steady, the captain fought the fire in
orderly manner summoned help, and
transferred 600 passengers to another
steamer. At a childrens entertain
ment in a New York church gauzy
draperies took fire, flames shot to the
ceiling and burning bits fell on the
children. The audience sprang up, but
the little king of the play justified his
regal part He cried, What are you
all scared about? It's just little fire"
Meanwhile boy at the organ was
playing Onward Christian Soldiers"
During the furry he did not miss a
note. Two men stamped the fire out
Others opened the doors and started to
marshal the women and children.
Most of the people kept their places,

The White NarcIssus.

IF could only live among beautiful
things as you do, believe could be
good" exclaimed a tired farmers
daughter to a city friend, whose two
rooms were filled with photographs
and books. The friend could but make
the well-worn explanation that the
sky outside the kitchen window is &C.
'tually more beautiful than the photo
graph Of Corot's vision of sky, and
that the fields, green or white, and the
flowers and birds are more truly poet
nv than the verses Of Wordsworth OF
Keats. Beneath the cry OF the soul
hungry for beautiful things Is the de-
sire for real ownership, says Youths
Companion. The cloud may be seen
by a thousand eyes, but 1t escapes the
hand which would hold it. Meadow
and stream in the picture bring their
message of beauty with deepened en-
phaSis, all the year round, pecauso
they are fairly captured by the artist.
Our civilization has yet to learn from
the reflective east that the luxury OF
beauty is a necessity for human life.
Without it the spirit starves, and suf'
fers from restlessness and irritation
and inefficiency, as one suffers from in
sufficient physical nourishment. MO
manned put into words great SYM
bolic truth when he said to his dis
ciples, IF any man have two loaves,
let him sell one and buy some flowers
of the white narcissus; for the one Is
food for the body and the other Is food
for the soul"

The recent burning Of the town hall
and other buildings in Guayaquil, Ecua-
dor, with view to check the progress
of the bubonic plague, suggests that
many a structure in another place in
vites humiliation for similar pur-
poses. There are tuberculosis blocks"
in New York city, tenements 80 satu-
rated with the disease that an occu-
pant is almost certain to be stricken.
In Paris the municipal council has just
discovered that several hundred dwell.
ings in the working-class districts are
dangerous for the same reason. There
are notorious cancer houses" in Lin.
colnshire, England; there is at least
one plague tenement" In Bombay, In
dia; and 1t Is recorded that Amber
the ancient capital of the Indian state
of Jaipur, had to be dispeopled and de-
serted because it was so completely In
fected with leprosy. To all such
dwellings of death the Guayaquil treat.
ment should be applied. Any munich
pality could better afford to pay the
cost of replacing a disease-riddeD
building than to let it stand and take
perpetual toll of lives.

prevent bubonic plague from gaining

strated that the plague is communi-
Gated by means of fleas. The fieas get
it from rats and mice and communi-
cate it to human beings. With the
determination of rats and mice it is
stated there will be no danger from
the bite of the flea so far as plague is
concerned. Canal employees have been

Elma Webster, aged IS years, Edith

gave out and the engine went dead.
Steinhouse, who was acting as en-
gineer, couldn't swim. Lyons got out
of the boat and endeavored to turn 1t
and run it ashore, but his strength
gave out and the launch, with all its
occupants, yielding to the swift cur

Washington, May 9.-Three men,
bers of the United States senate have
received letters from President Roose-
welt within the last few days declar-
ing his supremacy, as commander in
chief in all matters referring to the
control of the army and navy. Two
letters have created intense feeling in
the senate, and it is not unlikely that
they will precipitate conference of
Republican members. The letters, in
every case, are in defense of his
course in discharging without honor
the negro soldiers he believed to be
guilty Of shooting up the town of
Brownsville, Tex, and his action in
banishing Colonel William F. Stewart
