The Social Sense.

An enthusiastic teacher in the slum
distric. of large city once gathered
her flock and led them to vacant lot.
where she proposed they should create
their own playground. The idea was
received with wild enthusiasm. and
the youngsters fell TO work with a viii

midst of the excitement a large boy
was needed to move u particularly OBJ
stinats stone.
Smith, Smith" called the teacher
to one Of her star pupils, come and

The boy came with seeming reluct-

A STUNNING Surprise,

Congressman George w. Taylor was
talking in Demopolis, Ala. about the
hard times.
Hard times are bound to be full of
unpleasant shocks and stunning sur.
prises," he said. Il remember the last
panic and a sermon that a Mobile pas
TOR preached.
THE pastor. in a powerful discourse,
urged economy and retrenchment on
his congregation. In view Of the hard
times there should be no extrava-
gance. no useless expenditure. he said.
but every outgo ought to be pared
down.
His strong sermon had a swift and
unexpected effect. The congregation.
before dispensing, held a church meet.

mans salary from $4,000 to $1.5o0."

No Need Of Cotton Famine,

The cotton spinners OF the world are
needlessly alarmed lest the ability OF
the south to increase her cotton pro
duction will not keep pace with the In.
creasing number OF spindles and
looms. Gov. Hoke Smith OF Georgia
in a recent article or interview says
that his state alone. II necessary, could
produce as much cotton as is now be-
ing produced by the entire south. The
same is true Of Mississippi and more
than doubly true Of Texas. The labor
supply is absolutely the only difficulty
that prevents the expansion of cotton
production in the south to almost any
limit that might be desired-Southerp

Costly Government.

The government OF New York city
will spend more than twice as much in
the coming year as the government
Of the United States spent in the year
before the civil war AS late as 1877,
only 80 years ago, the expenditures of
the national government, aside from
interest on public debt, were less than
those OF New York city now. That in
Guided the whole cost OF the army and
navy. pensions, public buildings, river
and harbor improvements, the diplo-
matte service, the care of the Indians.
the support of the president, congress
and the entire civil service, and all the
incidental expenses Of a nation of
nearly fifty million people. At the
present time the whole empire OF
Japan runs its government, aside from
interest on its war debt, for a little
over two-thirds the cost of running the
municipal government of the city Of
New York. That navy which some
European observers think is going to
swallow our own costs less than $15,-
100000 a year for ordinary expenses,
with an extra allowance last year OF
little over $4,000 900 more. That army
which won the greatest three battles
of modern times costs about 25,000,-
900. New York pays more for public
schools alone than Japan for her army
and navy combined Perhaps that
comparison may be credit to New
York.-Collier

Oh! Yes; He Knew Them,

Not long ago Mr.. and Mrs Robert

AS the ship sailed out of New York

self-suffi cient beings who are on every

Without invitation this passenger
pumped himself down by them and
opened a conversation. He claimed the
acquaintance Of almost every literary
person Of prominence in New York
and after time he spoke Of Ella
Wheeler Wilcox-evidently not having
examined the passenger list.

Coffee as Remedy for Asthma.

Coffee is very excellent remedy
for asthma, according to a writer in
the Family Doctor. Those who do not
know how to cut short their attacks
and have not tried coffee should do so
by all means. 1t often succeeds ad
mirably when almost everything else
has failed. There are one or two little
points to be attended to in taking
coffee for asthma.
In the first place, it should be very
strong-in fact, perfectly black Weak
coffee does more harm than good. II
