OLD AGE PENSIONS IN ENGLAND.

Some time ago the house of COM
mons passed an act providing for old
age pensions. The majority was sur
prisingly large, but 1t was believed
that when the bill went to the house
of Lords it would be rejected The
bill was not rejected. but important
amendments suggested by Lord Gro
mer We're adopted and the bill re-
turned to the house of commons.
In the house of commons the chan
cellor of the exchequer, David Lloyd
George, led the fight against the
amendments, declaring that the prin-
cipal amendments We're breaches of
the privileges of the house of COM
mons, for the bill was money bill,
a fiscal measure, over which the
house of commons claims not merely
the right of initiation but the right
of supreme control The house re-
jected the amendments of the house
of lords.
Then the house of lords receded.
1t adopted a resolution by vote of
81 to %, refusing TO accept the re-
lection as precedent. but accepting
the bill as originally drawn, and
avoiding an issue with the house of
commons upon the question raised.
This pension act takes effect the first
of January, 1909. 1t provides for
SI.25 a week-that is, about So a
year-for each person more than 20
years old whose income is less than
Mr.. Asquith has given the estimate
that there are in England 500, 900
persons who may be beneficiaries of
this act, and that the act will require
an annual appropriation of 80 mil
lions of dollars. Lunatics, criminals
aud persons now receiving poor law
relief will not be beneficiaries of this
pension act.
The bill is one of the most re-
markable character. 1t is a large
advance in paternalism or what may
be called government socialism. 1t
is an experiment of grave concern to
all civilized communities. Every ma
ton will watch with interest the OPP
erations of the old age pension act in
England

Home Consumption Nurses.

Commissioner of Health Dixon Of
Pennsylvania has inaugurated a cam
paign against tuberculosis involving a
house-to-house inspection and instruction
by visiting nurses, who will go to the
home of every person applying to the
State Dispensary for treatment. 1t will
be the duty of the visiting nurses to in
struct the patient and the patients fam
lily how to obtain the requisite amount Of
fresh air, the most desirable foods, and
how to conduct themselves so as to avoid
infection. Every member of household
in which a consumptive lives will be in
spected. and where there is a sign of Ill
health the suspected person will be per-
suaded to adopt precautionary measures.
In this way it is hoped the State will
be able to check the spread of THE great
white plague" by discovering hundreds
of cases in the early stages when a cure
is probable. The difficulty which has
been experienced in sanitarium work
heretofore is that cases are not reached
until they are too far advanced tor be
of cure,

One Of the most successful of modern
techers writes, For ages people have
realized that the boy has mind to
educate. Only recently have we awak-
ened to the fact that he has body to
develop and character to form. A
fine mind In a puny body is a deplora-
bic combination. When 1t is allied TO
weak or unprincipled character the
situation is far worse and no plan Of
education is complete which does not
seek perslstently and Systematically to
develop in every boy character aud
health as well as mental power" No
one can dispute the truth of these
words. But we have not yet learned all
the conclusions they involve. They alb
solve the teacher from the final re
sponsibllity, and thrust 1t into the often
reluctant hands of the father and
mother Health and character are i'm.
mensely dependent on conditions in the
home. The school may keep the child
In the most desirable surroundings for
six hours days; but the other eight
cen hours are passed under the order
OF the home. Sleeping and eating are
far more determining factors In the
life of the boy than studying. A boy
overfed or girl underfed can no more
respond to the call of an inspiring
teacher than an engine can move when
Its fire box is .choked with cinders or
empty Of coal. Bad air In a sleeping
room can yitiate the moral teaching OF
the schools Tight clothing may stran-
gle In a girl talent for music or
love of poetry. SO we arrive at another
truIsm-that parents and teachers
must work together II the children are
to do well. The aid Of modern science
must serve In home as In school. So
the wise home making and the afrec- !
tionate companionshlp Of the father
and mother may supplant the infor-
nation and the discipline which the
teacher brings. Out Of the combination
comes the happy family

CHAPTER XVII.

Shortly before ten o'clock on the fol
towing morning, Cassagne and D'Auburor
entered the bureau, where under the di
rect supervision of the commissary tht
records of the department of police are
preserved for future reference. Cassagne
was evidently well known TO the officers
Of the bureau. In few minutes such
books and indices as he required were
placed at his disposal.
D'Auburon stood by intently watching
his principal as he turned to the index
page Of huge volume. Reaching the
letter &c" he ran his eye rapidly over the
names, which were arranged in the order
OF their date of entry. He started In at
the top of the page full of confidence /;
as his finger Travelled down the column,
however, his face grew perceptibly longer.
! When he reached the bottom, he gave au-
dible expression to his disappointment by
exclaiming
philip Graham either was never I'M
der police surveillance at all, or he chang
ed his name when he came to Paris
As the detective uttered these words,
an idea suddenly occurred to D'Auburon.
Look lnder the name of the woman
in whose charge he was placed. If he
took any other name than his own, what
more natural than he should take hers"
That's good suggestion" said Cas-
sagne. Her name was Marie La Seur,
as | recollect it-yes, that was 1t. Marie
La Seur. I'll trouble you for that Il

D'Auburon handed it to him, and the

ffty-three."
Hold on minute Don't be disap-
pointed If 1t shouldn't prove to be the
man. La Seur is a common enough name,
and there are over two millions and a
half of people In Paris to draw from.
Here's page tifty-three; now let me see
what It says"
The two men leaned over the book as
they scanned the page before them. Then |
they read:
Philip La Seur, placed under police |
by order Of the commissary."
I'VE have him p exclaimed D'Auburon,
In tone Of triumph. 1--WE have him
now, for certain"
Not too fast, my friend; not too fast.
Let's see what this foot note isl
At the bottom of the page was written
n red ink:
''Toulon, seventeen years, forgery"
An expression of intense disappoint
nent spread itself over the face of the
detective. D'Auburon, also, understood
Philip La Seur could have served out
tut little more than half his sentence
he could have had no hand
u the commission of the crime.
For a few minutes both men were en-
irely nonplused. At length Csssagne,
Who had again been thinking deeply, ex-
laimed:
II shall not be satisfied until l have

rial, at the conclusion Of which Philip

Lincolns stories grow better and

Mr.. Lincoln replied that be had been

who determined TO try his own hand at
