Sarcasm That Wa. Wasted.

Life tells of an old fellow, Q mem Der of whist club in Brooklyn, who enjoyed the reputation of being great crank. His animadversions against his partners were so severe that it was rare indeed that he could get anyone to play with him.
 One night, however, a man happened Tn from the West and the avoided one promptly assailed him with a request to "sit in.' The Western man was about to comply when he was taken aside by one of the members of the club who told him the reputation of the crank.
 T don't care." he said. T can stand it, guess"
 At the end of the evening he was approached once more by the curious member.

CRYING FOR QUARTER.

When Pasteur's treatment of hydro
 phobia by inoculation with a virus was | first practiced at Paris, there was
 much suspicion and dread in the minds of patients. In The Captains and the Kings" by Henry Haynie, who was then living in Paris, a chapter is devoted to Pasteur and his method of treatment. Four little boys had been taken over from New Jersey for treat ment, and MT. Haynie accompanied the doctor who had them in charge to the office of Pasteur
 The last arrivals, apprehensive as to the results of their injuries. and not oversure of this method of treatment, expressed surprise at the calm confi- dence shown by those who had preced- ed them. It was easy to see that they were asking themselves the question, How is it that they are able to take things so easily, and laugh and talk so merrily over it all?" Then they would brighten up with hope, and when their turn came they entered the private office with confidence, seat ed themselves on the operating stool, and stood the ordeal we'll
 When our turns come, Doctor Bill ings and myself took the boys in. one at a time, to where the illustrious Frenchman awaited them. He did not understand English, and so I whisper ed to Billings to notice closely this apparently unemotional being. and he would find him possessed of tender ness and sympathy far beyond that of ordinary women.
 One of the victims, Eddy Ryan, was but a little more than three years old, and he showed fear at the first inoculation Mrs. Ryan, who was of the party, took the boy in her arms and tried to reassure him, but could not Tears of sympathy gathered in the masters eyes, and as he wiped them away he said to me. in ntFrench:
 ''Tell her to stand over there where the little one can see us care first for the others-it will encourage the dear little fellow"
 One of the other lads, Patsy Key. holds, also grew frightened, and re- bellion was imminent. I took him to one side, and put it to him that, as a young American, he ought not to be outdone in pluck by French boy who had just come out of Pasteur's room looking perfectly happy.
 "Well, sor, will yer give me quar- ter If bate him??" whispered Patsy, and when I showed a silver piece into the hand of the young rascal, he went in without the slightest show of fear or suffering.

to De acquired qualities, begot by pa cient and painful endeavor, through imitation of the example of the better specimens of the race and the teach ings of the illuminati. Men have stoned their prophets in all ages, but they have nevertheless protited by their instructions. The same process is going on today. We of this genera tion are starting from higher ground, but we are climbing no less surely than did our remote ancestors. Per haps the most notable feature of the day is the tendency to be dissatisfied with mere abstract morality and tc in- sist upon its manifestation and appli- cation in the concrete. The people are demanding higher standards in busi- ness. finance and industry. High ideals alone are not satisfying. There must be high living as well as high think ing. The popular impatience with ex- isting evils is shown in the numerous efforts to correct them by statutory en- actment.

VOICE OF ENGLISH WOMAN BEST.
"Catbird, Tones of Americans Due
 to Haste fin Speaking.

"Catbird', Tones of Americans Due to Haste fin Speaking.
 The devil hath not in all his quiver's
 choice
 An arrow for the heart like sweet
 voice.
 Byron.
 Surely the women who screech out their conversations in a high catbird voice have never been brought to a realization of how excellent a thing is soft voice in a woman, the Denver Republican says. The English women are conceded to have much lovelier voices than the American women, and it is only be- cause the English women take time to enunciate clearly, speak gently, in soft, low tones.
 The American women have just as musical voices as their English sisters, but the American woman seems to be in such mad haste to get it said and said first that no thought is given as to how it is being said. Children all ways have beautiful voices. child's voice never gets on ones nerves. It is only later in life that the voice loses it's sweetness.
 How often a pretty face loses it's charm the moment the owner speaks, and. on the other hand, most unat- tractive woman will, when speaking, be irresistible owing to the beauty of her voice. A certain gentleman gives as his opinion that women as they grow older become victims of the nag ging habit and the Querulous tones de velop in consequence. If this is true, it is time woman cultivated the happy habit instead and thereby add to her charms the wondrous fascination of a voice lever soft, gentle and low.'

FAMILY APARTMENT HOTEL
Right on the Job When the BOard-

When the boarding house died
 Whats that? You didn't know the boarding house was dead? Oh, didn't you? Well, you know, at any rate, that it had gone into decline. Didn't your landlady often tell you that the boarding house business was not what it used to be? Didn't she explain that the reason she had to keep asking you for the money you owed her was that she didn't seem able to rent the parlor suite and the second-floor front, and she didn't know how she ever was going to pay her next months rent? Such nice gentleman, too, it was that had had the parlor suite last! He had been there for six years and

Edward VII, ''by the grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Brit ain and Ireland, and of the British Do- minions beyond the Seas, King, De fender of the Faith, Emperor of In- dia"-such is his official designation began the tenth year of his reign in January. When he ascended the throne, on the death of his mother, the diplomatic capital of Europe was Der lin, and the Kaiser's will was the dom- mating power in European affairs. London now rivals Berlin as the diplo- matic center. and the purposes and plans of the British king are more dominant than those of any other Flu ropean personality. Edward has de voted himself to the diplomacy of peace through the conservation of the rights of the powers and the removal of the causes of irritation. He has allayed the century-long suspicion by Frenchmen of British purposes, and has done much toward checking the development of jealous hostility on the part of his subjects toward Germany. Were it not for his pacific efforts. the stSlldlOiS this have precipitated a conflict of arms. In domestic affairs his infu- ence has been eXerted toward a better understanding between the contend ing factors, and he is recognized by all parties as an impartial arbitrator, seeking, above all things, the bes: in- terests of the empire. No suggestion has been made for years that he is un- fit, by intellectual equipment CT by temperament. to be the head of the great nation. At one time in his youth there were agitators against the mon- archy who predicted that a revolution would ensue on the death of Victoria. and that the Prince of Wales would never ascend the throne. But the idea of such a revolution disappeared long before he became king. When he finally did ascend the throne. he had fortunately come to the ripe maturity of his great abilities, with full appre- citation of the responsibilities and obli gations of the head of a widespread ing and powerful empire.

FOR womAN,s HOSPITAL IN 1883.
Remarkable Will of Aged PhiIan-
 thropist Contains All Details.

Remarkable Will of Aged PhiIan-
 thrOpist Contains All Details.
 The beautiful mansion on Main street, between the Old South and Pied mont Congregational churches, for half century the home of the famous in- ventor and philanthropist, Thomas H. Dodge, is to be part of the Eliza D. and Cora J. D. Dodge hospital in 1885. This is made obligatory, the Worcester correspondent of the Bos- ton Herald says, under the will of the aged philanthropist, made when he was S4 years old, and which has just been filed for probate.
 MT. Dodge, who died at the age of S6, had always taken a great interest in movements for the betterment of the social conditions of women. His idea for many years was to found a weman's hospital to perpetuate his name. He had plans made and his will even goes to the length of directing the kind of building material to be used, the dimensions of the various air spaces in the building, the ornamenta- tion, the style of the building and it's exact location, his mansion house to OC O PdlI Ol lnC SCACIdl SCnSUlC
 A trust fund for the maintenance of the hospital. which is to be for wo- men and children and not for cohta- gious or .incurable diseases, amounting to about $50,G30, is to be set aside, to be placed on interest, and it is fig ured that at the expiration it will amount to $1600,0 ,0OO, invested at Az per cent, which would double itself every fifteen years.
 A provision of the will and the be- quest is that there shall stand in the corridor of the new building, to be seen plainly from the entrance. three life-sized standing portraits of himself. fianked on either side by pictures of his two wives, Eliza Daniels and Cora Dodge, the maiden names of the in- ventor's wives. The will specifies the exact style of frame in which the paint ings are to be placed, even to the style of gilt to be used, the width and depth.
 In this remarkab ble will MT. Dodge went into the most minute detail, even to providing for the extension of the plank walk on the north side of the present mansion house and the rail of the steps leading to the back door of the mansion being extended to the en- trance to the proposed hospital.
 Mrs. Cora Dodge, the widow of the philanthropist, is pleased with the will. She entirely approves of the hospital idea, although the will was not made subject to her approval, and regrets that she will not see the carrying out of the plan of her husband She will remain in the mansion, living with her sister, who is a teacher in the classical high school, and has confided to friends that she will never marry again. She is but little more than 40 years old, and her life work has been devoted to the Y. M. c. A. in connection with which work she met Mr. and Mrs. Dodge nearly twenty-five years ago. During the latter years of MT. .Dodge's life she acted as his confidential clerk.

A Frenchman with an imperfect Knowledge of English was once called upon for an after dinner speech. He struggled along manfully for a few minutes, managing to turn one or two good phrases. Finally he excused him. self from further effort by saying: 'T will no longer cockroach on your time"
 An Englishman sitting next to him at the table remarked: Your speech was dooced clever, bah JoveI But you used the wrong word at the close, don't you know? You should have said: I will no longer hencroach up- on your time.'"

Are virtuous actions intuitional? That is to say, are the feelings that prompt them divinely given? Are they independent of the experience and teachings of ourselves and our ancestors2 Herbert Spencer rejects the intuitional theory.

The desirability of a uniform for school children has been the subject of debate among leaders of thought in the State of Washington. The raising of the question is due to the unhappy riv- airy that so frequently arises among school children at graduation time The aim is to make popular the adop- tion of some simple style of dress which shall do away with competition and at the same time serve the pur- pose of utility and convenience. There is no reason why the plan should not succeed. It has long been in practice in English schools. and in some of the best-known private schools in Amer lea. It will succeed as soon as uni form is adopted by any particular school which seems to confer distinc- tion and a mark of differentiation from the less fortunate.
