FoGS AT NEW YORK.
Forerunners of Tropical Climate
Says Captain Mills.

NEW YORK, May 26.-That the
fogs which have been hanging over
New York harbor and its approaches
for several days greatly interfering
with shipping are the forerunners Of
tropical climate for New York is
the opinion expressed by Captain
Arthur Mills, commander Of the
American liner Philadelphia which
was delayed outside Sandy Hook for
many hours by the fog,
"Its the gull stream" he said
shaking his head "The stream is
getting closer to New York every
year and l expect, if l live that long
to see the gulf stream running righ,
past our door and New York become
tropical city with an almost con
tinual fog rolling in from the sea"

There are two kinds of girls in

One is the kind that appears

other is the kind that appears
best at home, the girls that are
useful and cheerful in the dining
room, a sick room, and all the
precincts of home. They differ
widely in character. One is Of

OLD AGE PENSIONS In CANADA.

OLD AGE PENSIONS In CANADA.
In planning progressive legis-
lation for the benefit of the wage
earnest Canada is rapidly adopt
ing the new ideas that are making
Australia and New Zealand ia
nous throughout the civilized
world.
The Canadian Government is
taking cognizance of the fact
that men grow old, and that
when they are no longer able to
keep peace with the break-neck
speed of our modern industrial
system they ought not to be
thrown upon the scrap heap like
so much junk.
Many reasoning, fair-minded
men have become imbued with
the idea that if it is right to
pension veterans who unfor-
tunately are compelled to kill
their kind and destroy wealth, it
is doubly right to reward those
veterans who produce wealth,
preserve peace and steadily up
build higher civilization.
Thus our peace-loving Canadi-
an neighbors propose to enact
legislation providing pensions
for the aged. 1t is hoped to
encourage thrift and saving
among the working people, and
to insure the beneficiares a
annual income after they reach
the age of sixty or sixty-five
sufficient to keep them from
actual want.
1t is estimated that by the pay
ment of an annual amount of
$13, beginning at twenty years
of age, the beneficiary will be-
come entitled to an annuity of
SIP for life when he has reached
the age of sixty. If the benefi-
ciary prefers to wait for his
pension until he is sixty-fve
years of age, he will then be en-
titled to 5000 per annum.
The contributors savings will
be paid into the local postoffice
wherever they may reside. These
savings will then be given COM
pound interest, semiannually,
from the. Government at the
rate OF a per cent.
A Government annuity will not
be made in favor of any person
other than the actual annuitant,
nor for a larger sum per annum
than $500. Where a family is
DESTROYS of assuring itself more
than $500 yearly there is nothing
to prevent the wife taking out
an acc cunt in her own name as
well as the husband.
These Government pensions or
annuities will be absolutely
inalienable-that is, they cannot
be capitalized or sold to anyone
else, and the law will provide
that the money that a family
derives from them cannot be
seized for any purpos e what
Soever.
Should the annuitant be unable
or unwilling to keep up his pay
ments until he his reached the
age of sixty he will be allowed
