Every big city and every remote dis
trict In this country has food enough to
supply every mouth in it. even allowing
for those who overeat. In New York
city during the growing season and
perhaps all the year round there ia
enough unsold produce dumped out az
garbage and at all times enough un-
touched bread and meat In opulent
families going to waste to feed all the
poor within the municipality. And IL
any poor happen around when the un-
used stuff Is being disposed Of they get
all they can carry away. The trouble
is to bring the needy mouths and the
surplus food together at the right time.
And the trouble In seeing to it that
sick enough to faint from hunger is the
getting at the cases of need, so rare
are they and SO widely scattered.
Wholesale plans of relief often fall be-
cause people not in need are too willing
to be fed by charity. In this way that
word charity has become almost as ter
rible as the word starvation. Some
hungry ones will prefer starvation to
asking or even accepting charity for
fear they will be looked upon as frauds
and parasites. 1t is depressing to know
that there can be no permanent cure
OF these occasional cases of hunger and
even Of the threat of starvation. But
1t Is well perhaps that these tales Of
want should be published, even with
exaggerations. 1t sets us all to think
ing. to casting an eye upon the homes
OF our humble fellow men. to wonder
ting ARE there no poor bout our gateA"

Starving Amid Plenty.

A sigh Of relief went up throughout
the land when the report that some
school children in New York's great east
side were starving, that they came to
their lessons weak and wan" from
hunger and sick enough sometimes "to
faint" was quickly followed by de-
Mai. Starvation is an awful word.
Very few OF the billions and billions Of
human beings who come and go ever
grasp its meaning literally. In all timea
and under all conditions the fullneas
Of the earth Is garnered and distrEb-
uted to the end that no one, not even
the unworthy, shall meet hunger face
to face. Nevertheless the word starva-
ton has acquired such meaning that
at the bare suggestion of lack Of
bread anywhere the hands Of the 90.
curely fortunate are open with relief.
In New York money was turned away,
so little was really needed to banisit
want from the poorest tenements.

MUSICIANS OF TENDER YEARS.
Many youthful Prodisies" In the
World Of Melody.

Like SO many of the worlds great
composers, Sir Edward Elgar was
youthful prodigy" of exceptional gifts,
as was proved by recent perform
ance of suite composed by him at
the immature age of IL. But even Sir
Edward was probably not as preco.
cious as one of his English predeces-
sors, Samuel Wesley, who in his eighth
year heard regimental band play
march which he had composed for it.
At IL Franz Schubert had already
placed several songs, string quartettes
and piano pieces to his credit. Han
del's first attempts at composition
were made at eight, and Vieuxtemps,
who began to scrape the strings of a
tiny fiddle at two. is said to have been
even more precocious. Sir Charles
Halle was only four years old when he
played in public a sonata expressly
composed for him; Liszt was q public
performer at nine, Chopin and Ruben
stein at eight, Lady Halle and Joachim
at seven, and at five Mozart composed
a piece of music almost too difficult
for his father to play.

Women's Rights in Brazil.

"The curse of Brazil lies in the
great illiteracy Of it's men and wom-
en-" declared Edward B. Norris, ar
Englishman who has been many years
a resident of Rio Janeiro.
According to the official govern.
ment figures the i.literacy is so per
cent. Certainly a country where only
one man in five can read and write
and only one woman in 20 has cause
to blush at the ignorance of it's peo-
pie. A country of enormous area, yet
with a population of only 100000,
Brazil is sadly handicapped by lack
of modern enterprise and an enlight-
ened citizenship. One Of the most dis
courasing features of the country is
the low esteem in which woman e
held. A great many Brazilian girls
marry by the time they are IL years
old and are grandmothers long before
they are 80. Woman is regarded as a
chattel, and in many a household of
the republic never opens her mouth
except at the bidding of her husband"

1t is estimated that single bunch Of
bananas coming from South America
passes through not less than IL pairs
of hands before it is finally restored
aboard ship en- route to a northern
market. AS soon as the tree is cut
and a large bunch detached it is
swung on to the head of a native
laborer and started to the collecting
point on the plantation. Long lines OF
natives may be seen filing from the
depths of the banana forest, bearing
the punches of fruit.
When the bunches are all gathered
they are put on a car and carried to
the wharf, where they are unloaded
and again passed through a chain of
hands to the ships hold.

the clearest dictates of reason are

Work and Play.

According to the very wisest man
that ever lived there is time to
work and time to play. When work
ing time comes every muscle may be
put in motion, every nerve brought
into play, every particle of brain force
utilized. When resting time arrives,
1t should be devoted to storing up
energy. Rest ought to be complete,
absolute. There is no use laying aside
ones occupation, unless that signifies
cessation Of worry and those activities
OF brain which wear out the body.

DOUBTFUL OF THE GUARANTEE.
Specific Clause Caused Increase Ii
Price Of Cloth.

The Arabs, and, indeed, all Mos
lens, have the practice Of reinforcing
promises by adding to their word Of
honor the Arabic phrase, Inshallah-
please God" How much meaning it
conveys in some lands of the east is
told in the pages Of I'm Moorish Cap
tivity."
The pious proviso is very useful
formula to the Moors, and is frequent
ly used in making promises that they
have no intention whatever Of keep
ing, as they can then take refuge be-
hind the Almighty when they are
taxed with their breach of faith.
There is a story told of man who
kept a shop in Gibraltar, and who
knew the ways of the Moor. To him
one day came one of the faithful, who
was desirous of buying some cloth.
On being informed that the price was
two dollars yard, payment in 60
days, he replied:
"All right. l will take so much and
will pay you in go days, Lnshallah."

two dollars, payment in go days. For
