The Pride of the Poor.

At the present stage of sociology no
onlooker need doubt this New York
Sun story of the might have beens"
of great city:
So many men to whom the city mis-
sionary had given money for nights
lodging had expressed a preference for
a certain east side lodging house that
he wondered what constituted its par
ticular attraction.
1T makes us feel self respecting"
the men said when questioned.
So far as the missionary could see
it was a typical lodging house. whose
inducements to self respect were not
apparent to the ordinary eye. He ap-
pealed to the manager. By what meth
cd did he fan the fires of self respect
in his guests?
The manager pointed to a sign above
his desk-"Gentlemen Are Requested
TO Leave Their Valuables With the
Clerk"

The Difference In Ieeheras.

No two icebergs appear to be exactly
alike in size and shape. Some look
for all the world like Arabs tents as
they glide along and others like cliffs,
castles, cathedrals, yachts, and occa-
sionally they resemble some well
known animal Some of the pinnacIes
of 4 large berg rise nearly thousand
feet above the water. while the base
may occupy an area Of ten or twelve
acres Seen through a powerful glass
one may detect waterfalls upon these
islands of ice and all kinds of arctic
birds and perhaps few seals. Then
the cOlors are almost beyond descrip
ton. The stately pinnacles glis;en in
the sun like powdered glass. At times
the berg Is pure white; at others ii
looks greenish.-Harold j. Shepstone In
