Once a Sailor Always a Sailor.

Charitable institutions often find it
hard TO learn the occupations of those
admitted. A man who has followed
several trades when asked his occupa-
ton names the one he regards as most
dignified. even if he has not followed it
for years. The Survey tells Of case
that happened in the Cook County in
firmary. The man "at the age of nine
teen was a sailor for one year His
career as sailor ended with an acci-
dent on the ship by which he lost a
leg. For the next thirtysix years he
took various jobs as caretaker and the
like. such as crippled person can OBJ

of independence he was finally forced
to take refuge in poorhouse he puts
himself down on the entrance card as
a sailor. and one feels in that word the

Tho Historic City Of Delhi.

Delhi is the most historic city in all
India. 1t may not be the Oldest. al
though it lays claim ~ a respectable
middle age. dating from 1000 B. c. At
that time the master Of Delhi called
himself emperor of all the world, and
enverors, at least of India, have ruled
there almost ever since. Old Delhi.

esq3e ruins. Imperial Delhi. the mod

contemporary of Queen Elizabeth.

medan incursion. A. d. 10. perpetual
warfare ragged round Delhi until at
length she yielded to the Irresistible
mower of the Moguls. The city was al
ternately Mohammedan and Hindu
during a great many years and finally.
in 1903 was made British by General
Lake. Delhi has the finest and largest
MOSQUE in India. 1t took 5000 men six
wears to build it. The noble tomb OF
the Emperor Humayan marks the
change of creed which followed the

Naples. under Spanish rule in the
eighteenth century. was overrun with
lawyers. OF their profusion Joseph
Addison had this to say:
1T is incredible how great multi
tude of retainers to the law there are
at Naples. 1t is commonly said that
when Innocent nj. had desired the
Marquis of Campio to furnish him
with 10000 head of swine the mar
quis answered him that for his swine
he could not spare them. but if his
holiness had occasion for 10000 law
yers he had them at his service"
1t seems to have been golden age
for lawyers. for. as the author says,
there are very few persons of con
sideration who have not cause de-
pending. for when Neapolitan has
nothing else to do he generally shuts
himself up in his closet and falls a
tumbing over his papers TO see If he
can start Il lawsuit and plague his
neighbors. ."-Dietetic and Hygienic Ga.

Technically Gentlemen.

There is only one strictly technical
definition of gentleman-a man entitled
to bear coat armor. In the seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries it was
used with this significance. and the
secondhand booastall hunter will oc-
casionally find "So-and-so. gentle

out. for now any one may use arms

though the heralds' college has the
right to grant arms to those who can
afford to pay the necessary fees. il

arms to which they have no right

Of delegates after Madison had left the
White House. Old Davis, who seldom
wore a coat. was sitting on rail fence
on the roadside in Greene county one
morning when a young man dressed in
dapper fashion and evidently from the
city passed by.
Good morning" said David with
the proverbial Virginia politeness.
TO this the stranger paid no atten-
ton. In a few minutes. however. he
came to fork in the roads and was
evidently in doubt which way he
should go. He retraced his steps to
where Davis still sat on the fence and
asked him with great politeness if he
could tell him which way led to Stan
