eEoRelA's BIRTHDAY.

Saturday January .. was Georgia's
one hundredth and twcnty.hrst birth
day. since IL was on the second day
Of January. 1875. that her convention
ratified the constitution Of the United
States and so made a part Of the Tn
ion what Is now the largest common
wealth east Of the Mississippi. Della
ware had ratified first. then. after
much discussion. Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. while Georgia was fourth
among the thirteen original States
and incidentally. the first Southern
one 90 ratify. In the minds Of the
Georgians there vas no reason why
they should hesitate. The constitution
made fair provision for the slave
holding States. this colony OF Ogle-
thorpe's was too far away from the
storm center Of politics % be influence
ed by any antifederalist sentiment.
and as slaves were running across the
borders into Spanish territory and
the Greek Indians harassing her from
tiers. she felt the need OF such prOtec-
ton as the big centralized govern
ment would give.
Since that important day Georgia
has known many trOublous but many
more prosperous Zines. Georgia was
the fifth State to secede and join the
COnfederacy. During the four years
OF civil war she contributed 10000
troops. 10000 more than the voting
population she had at the outbreak
Of the war. She possibly suffered
more than any Of the Southern States.
but out Of the ashes that marked the
wide area over which Sherman pass
ed Georgia rose again, phOenix-like, to
startle the world of today with her
prosperity.

Hiding rich gifts. three hundred and

Waiting to strew them. daily. DER the

And whether bright thy face.

preheud;
Wen hold our patient hands. each In

And trust thee TO the end;

Miss Mulock. i'm this beautiful poem.
gives our ideas better than We can
express them. The idea Of each day
being a gift. hidden from US until its
hour comes. Is a pretty thought So
many gifts. so much time TO use for
either profit or loss. and so many
hands are held out eagerly for the
coming days. looking for them To
bring happiness. or gain of some kind.
The spirit sometimes grows faint be-
fore the unknown future. consequent.
ly IL is enough To take one day az a
time and try to make that good. Il
Il hard enough, even then, and some
times II is best to go hour by hour.
One day az a time is the secret OF
every noble life. "One day az a time
taken up bravely. with its duties faith
fully done as they come. its trials pa
tiently borne. its temptations firmly
resisted, it's cross cheerfully carried.
its joys rightly used. and it's gladness
gathered from every hour as il passes
on" Instead OF making many resOlu-
tiOns az the first Of the year to be
quickly broken, let us strive to meet
each day bravely. and take what Il
brings unquestiOningly.
"Oh, hang some lamp-like hope.
Above the unknown way,
Kind year, TO give our spirit freer
scope.
and our hands strength to work while
IL is day"

OLD AGE PENSIONS.

With $4,000 900 OF the population Of
the kingdom earning barely sufficient
TO keep them con- the lowest comfort
line" the old-age pension bill vas
previously needed. one OF the sad
iest aspects of life In the great cities
II England Is to see the myriads of
aged men and women who are ON the
brink Of starvation: who have naught
10 look forward To. after lives of SO
briefly and industry, but death in the
Soorhouse.
over 100000 men and women above
the age OF seventy will receive bOun-
ties OF sums from Sl.25 TO % cents a
week. The cost to the country OF this
measure will be thirty million dollars
the first year and possibly more.
Mr.. Asquith has estimated that In
the United Kingdom there are 1876
wv" ~ ooAH VI ethNuAg e'NAo VI as
and over and that out of this total
there are $4,000 people eligible for
pensions.
The qualifications for pensions are
that the pensioner must have attain
ed the age Of seventy. He must for
twenty years have been a British sub
iect and have resided for that period
In the United Kingdom.
The provisions for disqualification
have been considerably amplihed
since the bill was first drafted. One
very strong section relating to dis
qualifications states that no man shall
receive a pension who has habitually
failed 20 work according TO his ability,
or needs for the mainten-
ance OF himself and those legally de-
pendent upon him. The strong body
OF benefit societies. trades unions and
other fraternal organizations succeed
ed in having a liberal amendment TO
this section introduced, and by IL no
man who for ten years has made pay
ments TO friendly or provident so
cieties shall be disqualified.
Lunatics, paupers. criminal insane
and persons sentenced to Imprisonment
the option of a fine will be
during detention and for
a further period of ten years after
release.
The pensions are inalienable and
will be paid weekly. The machinery
for the distribution OF pensions In
Guides a local pension committee for
every county. borough and urban dis
trict with a population of over 10000.
The central pension authority is the
local government board and pension
have been appointed by the
treasury.
Among the penalties To be inflicted
Is six months at hard labor for any
person making a false statement In
order TO obtain a pension.
