Germany and Heine.

Lord Haldane in his recent univer-
sity address. Great Britain and Ger
many: A Study in Ethnology," had
words Of reproach for Germany con-
corning her treatment of Heine. He
pointed out that Germany In the end
Of the eighteenth and the beginning of
the nineteenth century had her Eliza
bethan age, so far as literature and
philosophy were concerned:
How much poorer would the whole
world be but for this period of Ger
man life. in which she for the time
outstripped every other country! Yet
even then she INDUCED In tendencies
which needed correction, and If she
had listened to Heinrich Heine they
might have been corrected and the
outlook enlarged. And now the re-
vanche was in progress, much as
Heine predicted. and, looking at the
German railway bookstalls he could
see that the spirit Of Paris was ad-
vancing on Berlin. It need not have
been SO, and 1t should not have been
so. and Heine told of a better way.
Had his counsel been listened to there
would have been no Nietzsche period
so at least H. seemed to a foreigner.

~ whether the hair is arranged sym
metrically or not, whether 1t is too
high on one side or too low on the

when looking full face in the glass.
Then there are perhaps hollows under
the eyes. lines round the mouth. q
tendency to double chin. and many
other departures from youthful beauty.
These can never be remedied as long
as the possessor remains In ignorance
Of them. She who never uses hand
glass as an aid to study her appear
ance will continue at 40 years Of age
to see reflected her face at 20. The
daily changes are SO gradual that
they will pass unnoticed by her.

the ravages of time. That is one OF
the first lessons to be learned In the
art of beauty.

BRITISH MAYORS Ill PAID.
Some Of Them Govern Large and
Ancient Cities, but Get Very
I" Small Salaries.

The following Information refers to
cities Of the approximate population
Of $4,000, that being the population
Of the city in the United States
whence the inquiry came as to the
salaries of mayors in the cities of
the United Kindom: -
The English city nearest In popula-
ton to the foregoing number, as far
as my Investigation went. is Newcas-
tie. the mayor of which receives 81"
500 per annum. Additional remunera-
ton is sometimes given to cover ex-
penses on exceptional occasions.
There is also an anlual allowance OF
$3.50 for horses ana carriages.
The population of Dublin Tin each
instance l am following the British
census OF 1901, is 100000. The lord
mayor of Dublin for some time re-
ceived about $4,000 year, but In
November, 1910, this salary was re-
duced to about $4,000 year.
Bradford. with population OF
100000, makes no allowance to tts
lord mayor. On exceptional occasions
appropriations are made, but no por-
ton of the same is ever used personal
~ by the lord mayor.
Bristol. with a population Of 32S,OO6,
allows it's mayor $4,000 annually and
$500 toward defraying the expenses
of private secretary. The cost OF
the upkeep OF the municipal coach.
mems wages and livery are betrayed
directly out of the public funds.
Edinburgh, having a population OF
$4,000, allows its lord provost. cor
responding to lord mayor of an Eng
lish city. the sum of $4,000 a year.
Sheffield. with 100000 people. allows
nothing whatever to its chief munci'
pal executive. A special committee
has recently been appointed to ex-
anime into this question and to re-
port as to the desirability of provid-
ing some remuneration.
Leeds, with population OF 429,0oo;
Belfast, with 34S,O0O, and Hull. with
10000, make no allowance for the re.

These superf1uous belongings may be
put in small wooden boxes, which
should be numbered cover nailed
down by the housewife at her leis-
ure, when no one is around, say two
weeks before moving day, doing a
little each day. When box is packed
and cover nailed she may place it out
of the way or against a wall where
there is room, covering the boxes with
something bright in the house, which
gives them the appearance of an ex-

stands around for people to trip. over
and nothing that is needed Is missing.
The impending moving day is out OF

Two days before moving day will suf-
fee for the real breaking UP in an
ordinary household and will give ample
time to plan how it should be done
with a view to condenstng and safe
packing SO that the expressage may
be reduced. This is the time to discard
useless belongings that are a night
mare every moving time; however, one
must be careful not to get rid of what
at the moment seems troublesome to
pack yet would come into good use lat
