One came from another world He
went down Fleet street and saw the
weary, witless men who wrote daily of
Nature and her beauties. He went to
a theater and heard those who sang

He watched "sportsmen," who rent the
magnificent silences with the harsh
crack of rifles, and destroyed wanton-
~ the blithest birds and beasts. Then
he met a philosopher.

As 70 Hogs.

A venerable Chinese laundryman
who likes to tell a tale or swap a
lie, said the other day: "In China
every gentleman works for a living,
except the hog. Hog no work at all q"
Hogs do work in some parts of Ire
land, and in the lowlands of Germany
are beasts of burden. Abraham Lin
coin used to tell about them in his
younger days working in Indiana and
Illinois. In the backwoods, when a
chimney was to be built, or a cabin
daubed, the workmen dug a big hole
in the clayey ground, filled it about
half full of water scattered a few
handfuls Of corn therein and turned
loose the swine, The latter plunged
in after the corn, and in a short while
had converted the contents Of the hole
into excellent mortar.

SUMS Heat.

Popularity speaking, the heat of the
sun is such that the total annual out
put of all the earth's coal mines would
serve to keep up the solar radiation
for only one-forty-millionth part of a
second. II the earth was a solid mass
of coal and could be supplied to the
solar furnace It would last just 80
hours The same difficulty attends
the attempt to mentally realize the
amount OF the solar heat that is ap.
propriated by our planet. Science has
demonstrated that the amount of the
suns heat caught by the earth is only
the 2,250-millionth part. In other
words, the heat of the sun is sufFi-
cient to warm up 2,25OO0O,0O worlds
the size of the one we are living in

RELIEF FOR THE UNFORTUNATE.
Where the United States Is Behind

The plan for establishing a state
labor colony incidentally calls atten-

relief Of honest men out of employ
ment and the suppression Of vagrants.

vate organizations, in a few large
ci,ies, there would be absolutely moth

men, whose country is overrun by
vagabonds, can point with pride to
relief measures which have already
done much to reduce the suffering
due to the enforced continuous idle
ness OF from 6.5 per cent. to seven
per cent OF all workingmen. The
idea of allotting small gardens to men
out of work was conceived and put
into practice by Gen. van den Bosch in
Holland as far back as 1878; to-day
more than 1000 poor families are thus
supported in the little kingdom. The
environs of Paris are dotted with some
1000 plots assigned by the Workmens
