In Pepy's time May dew-that is,
dew gathered from the grass on May
morning, and especially on the morn
ing of May day-was highly priced for
bleaching linen and improving the COM
plexion. fepys wrote in 1867: MY

Hewer to Woolwich in order to lit
tie air on to lie there tonight and so to
gather May dew tomorrow morning,
which Mrs. Turner bath taught her is
the only thing in the world to wash
her face with, and am contented with
it" Two years later he made this en-
try in his diary: Troubled, about 8

There are people who will tell you
that superstition is dead and that in

strange fancies and beliefs SO commonly
held many years ago." says Grace
George.
ITO certain extent, perhaps, this is
true, though 1 am inclined to think,
all the same, that as far as actresses
and actors are concerned superstition

A young man being asked how much
It cost to live in New York city, re-
piled: "a little more than your in
come whatever that is" A young city
clergyman on his first round of parish
calls found family on the verge of
starvation. The man had been out of
work for months. He had a wife and
five children, the youngest baby.
They had just eaten the last bit of
food in the house. The young clergy
man gave them SIS and collected for
them twenty more before the day was
out. A few days later he called to
see about getting work for the man.
They were again on the point of
starving. With the $50 the woman had
bought a fine new baby carriage, some
coffee and sugar. When the clergyman
expostulated she Indignantly denied ex
travagance. The children had broken
the old carriage, and it was necessary
the baby should have a daily airing.
AS for the coffee it was the first they
had had in weeks. They were accus-
toned to it and needed it.-Appleton's

1t is common Tor victims of automo-
bile disasters to lay the blame for their
mishaps on the conditions of the road.
But such is not sufficient. 1t is incum-
bent upon the driver of a car to feel
that he is himself chiefly responsible
for his own safety. The exhilaration
Of speed is very great. The sense Of
power in running a motor car is almost
overwhelming But none Of these
things should be permitted to inspire Il
reckless disregard of them. The roads
should, of course, be made as safe as
possible, and all who use them should
exercise discretion.4 but above all else,
it is for the man who runs the car him
self to take care.

Kohlsaat enjoined the issuance of trans

At Helena, Mont, legal representatives
of the government began suit against the

contain coal mines from which the rail-
way obtains great quantities OF coal

Presumably due to the industrial de
preston of the past year., the death rate
from accidents by rail appears to be on
the decrease. The Accident Bulletin of
the Interstate Commerce Commission Tor
tho first quarter of 1908 shows total
of 125 passengers and employees killed.
as compared with 220 such deaths in the
preceding quarter, and with 346 IN the
one before that The latest record is the
smallest since these statistics were first
collected in 1901. During the first quar-
tor of this year the number of deaths OF
Messengers and employees from all causes
was 72S. against 1892 in the preceding

~ casual tiles was 15,441, the least within
three years.
The right of shippers to combine small
