HAVE NOT ENOUGH TO DO
People Like the Inhabitants of Pit cairn Island Really Deserve ths
 Sympathy of Others.

While most people are sorry for those who have too much to do. for my part I reserve my sympathy for those who have too little to do. They seem to me to have scarcely fair l chance in the world. Their natures are not properly taxed and tested, 1 trained and developed. They are sure not to grow up to be among those who are great, wise, good and famous in the world. Now they are glad that they are free from the ordinary cares and activities of life. In the future they will be sorry. Indeed, it may help to kill them.
 A traveller, who visited the Pitcairn islanders in their lonely Pacific home, where they led life absolute idle ness, found some of them dying of old | age when only 50 or 50 years of age time of life when those who lead a busy existence are in their prime. They had too little to do. The rough hbre of life, for it's due adjustment, needs a certain amount of work and worry.
 Two strangers met one day at a country village, where both had come 1n search of rest. One was a news paper man, the other physician. In the morning, the newspaper man lay lazily on the grass, picking buttercups and daisies and looking at the blue sky He did this for an hour, while the physician watched him. Medical men have a trick of watching their fellow-creatures. We are open books for them to read.
 You seem, sir said the physician. ito be rather fond of lying on the grass and picking daisies.
 T have a passion for it." was the answer. T should like to spend my life lying here, picking daisies"
 And yet" was the rejoinder, q have an idea that you are a man who leads a pretty active life-that you take good deal of interest in othe- matters besides the picking of dai. ies."
 Yes, l work great deal more than I like, and I should be glad to quit and would choose to rest here on my back forever, with nothing in the world to do."
 Do you know, sir, what would be the result of that?"
 Well, what would it be?'
 Tt would probably be an attack of paralysis. To stop work would prob ably end your existence"
 Often people have too little to do in early life. They have seasons of much holiday and glorious leisure. Then comes the long stretch of life, with hard work; and they too late regret now when they have too much to do that they did not take advantage of the time when they had too little to do.

10 CENTS A VOTE
 IS THE NEW PRICE
MOST DRASTIC CAMPAIGN PUB LIClTY LEGISLATION IN THE
 HISTORY OF CONGRESS.
Measure Applies Not Oriy to Ex penses, but Also to Contributions
 and Promises of Political Jobs.

Washington.-The most drastic cam paign publicity legislation ever passed in either Lranch of congress was adopted by the senate, practically without a dissenting vote. Using the prediction publicity bill passed by the house as a basis, the senate con- structed a proposed law with the fol- lowing important features:
 No candidate for the senate or house shall spend in the election more than sum equal to 10c for each voter in his district or state.
 No senatorial candidate shall spend a total of more than S10OO0 in the primary and general election. and no candidate for the house shall spend more than 5000.
 Publicity must be given to all pri- mary campaign contributions and ex- penses.
 All general election expenses must be made public before the election. beginning 15 days before election and making publication each six days un- til election.
 All promises of political jobs must be made public. The bill further makes it illegal to promise political places to secure election support or to aid in the election of any member of a state legisIature.
 The bill will be the subject of pro- longed conference between the two houses. It originated in the house as part of the Democratic legislative program and was designed to require the publication of expenses before election, which is not required by the existing publicity law.
 The Republicans in the house un- successfully attempted to extend the bill to cover primary election ex- penses. In the senate, the primary election amendment, coupled with more radical amendments, were adopt ed with little opposition.

Titles in EnuIand.

Forty or fifty years ago few people in England had titles. There were only a few decorations which entitled their owners to put the prefix Sir before their names. We all of us looked down with lofty contempt upon the counts and barons that were so plentiful in continental countries. Now We can do so no longer, for probably there is no other country in the world where the traffic in titles is so open and so indecent as in Eng land. What the number of our deco rations is I do not know, and I imag- inc that few do. Every few years some new one is created and an Eng lishman with taste that way can easily manage to exhibit himself GOV cred with metal disks and bits of ribbon like some successful COW at an agricultural show. These embellish- ments may fatter the vanity of their wearers, but they do not increase the respect that is felt for Englishmen.- London Truth.

Decline of the BoatsWain.

The rumored establishment of boastwains, as an anachronism dating from the days of sail, is no more like ly to come to pass than the extermina. tion of the carpenters as survival of the wooden age. But the former class have little enough share in the gen. eral improvement of service condi- tions. What was said in Truth the other day as to the gunners getting all the plums out of the pudding is partic- ularly borne out by one grievance un- der which the bo'suns labor. In 1891 there were nearly 400 boatswains and a like number of gunners The respec- tive proportion of chiefs and warrants were about equal. Today there are 262, including 12 lieutenants and 27 warrants; while there are S90 gun ners, including 36 lieutenants and IS warrants. The expansion of the lat ter branch is natural and necessary corollary of the growth of the fleet, but it is equally true that the shrink age of the former class is unnatural >nd "nna.eSeo -v--T o,,do- r~.,+L

Three Men Are Blown to Pieces.

Denver, Colo-Fragments of human flesh, found within radius of 200 yards, give evidence that three men were killed when 5000 pounds of nj. troglycerin exploded, destroying the neutralizing plant and storehorse of the Dupont Powder Company, 15 miles south of Denver. The force of the blast was almost entirely upward. Men in the vicinity saw the two build ings rise in a cloud of black smoke with a circle of flame at it's base.
