THE FIGURER.

This world contains a lot of folks
Who fret us more or less
By poor or misdirected jokes
Or ill-timed seriousness
But he who brings the deepest doubt
Is that unfaltering one
Who gets lot Of figures out
To prove lit can't be done!
The prou9eSt schemes of progress fall
And shattered hopes lie thick.
When calmly he proceeds TO call
On his arithmetic.
More hideOus than the vandal shout,
His voice spoils all our fun,
When he brings rows of figures out
To prove lit can't be done."
Your plans of glory. though they be
Both lofty and immense,
Will shriyel like leaf when he
Says think of the eXpenset'
He's Disappointment's special scout
And Hardluck's favOrite son,
Tffs man who gets his figures out
TO prove lit can't be d0neH

If all English lords who marry Amer

fathers-in-law as is the Duke of Man
chester, and as ready to follow prac-
teal suggestions from a friendsly source

would result to the benefit and credit OF
the English aristocracy, and many an

he had been bred a gentleman farmer.
He has won the respect and confidence
of his tenants and neighbors, and can
look forward to a serene and useful
future.

understand their language and customs

useful an Italian can be to the police

Fuel & Iron Company, at Crested Butte,
Colorado, are not heavy, but they may
be sufficient to warn all who are engaged
in coal-workings that they must have
proper regard for the safety of their fell
lows. Hundreds of lives have been lost
in mines through sheer recklessness on
the part of men who above all others
should realize the need of rigid care.

Dickinson of the War Department is

pressure from friends of the expelled
West Point cadets and sent set of

cadets who practice haZing may be dis
missed only when the offense is accom-

the matter was not left entirely TO Super

count could be made in this regard it
would probably be found that similar
percentage of the men engaged in
the merchant service ut sea are SINH
larly deficient. While swimming is an
accomplishment that may be worth life
in sudden emergencies involving the
swimmer alone the swimmers drown with
the non-swimmers when disaster over

would be little chance for a swimmer to
escape from battleship suddenly torn
apart as was the flagship of Admiral
Makaroff's feet at Port Arthur, which
went down like a shot when torn by two
torpedoes, taking more than five hundred
men TO watery graves.

Federal food inspection at Chicago has
fallen foul of oysters. Twenty barrels
shipped from South Norwalk, Connect
cut, were yesterday condemned as float
ers." FLOATING oysters is a detestable
practice. The bivalves are taken from
the salt water bay in which they grew
and placed for time in a river where
they become bloated. On account of
their larger size it does not then take
so many to make a quart. They are
subjected to the danger of contamination
by sewage, but even when they escape
this they are deletriously affected, be-
cause the bloating which they undergo
is disease. 1t is well mat the federal
authorities have taken cognizance of
the fraud. A few examples like that at
Chicago win teach the Eastern shippers
that floating" oysters does not pay.

Secretary OF War Dickinson is credit
ed with favoring the enactment by Con-
gress Of an amendment of the existing
law relating to haZing at West Point.
The existing law prohibits hazing. The
amendment would sanction moderate
hazing." From an outside and disinter-
ested point of view it would seem that
there are two objections to the proposed
amendment. Either one is enough to
condemn it. The first objection is that
its immediate effect evidently is to secure
the reinstatement of the three students
recently dismissed from the academy for
hazing, which would destroy discipline
and undo all that has been accomplished
for the elimination of hazing at the acad-
envy. The second objection is that there
is no way of getting rid of hazing with
out getting rid of it altogether

him she had nothing to read worth

He walked home with her, and gladly
promised to come to tea some evening.
He went to Julia's 10 tea, and she
behaved so sensibly and charmingly
that he metaphorically smote himself
for not having seen long ago that life
was bowling wilderness without a
wife.
She sang to him. and he liked her
songs because they were not too sacch-
