For Abandoned Children.

Hungary maintains II institutions
of INDECENT, abandoned, delinquent and
abused children. 1t is the custom to
receive every child applicant, to give
him bath and clean clothes and then
to investigate his condition. If the
investigation warrants the states in
reference the child is admitted. Sew
enteen thousand children were thus
received in 1908, Most of these are
placed out in the country or smaller
cities with farmers or artisans of
good character and in moderate cir
cumstances. Five reformatories have
been established for delinquent or
absolutely unruly children. They
have room for a thousand inmates,
who live together in family groups of
20, learning a trade under the SUPER
vision of the head of the household.
Corporal punishment is still admins
tered. Up to 1908 1881 inmates had
been released on parole, SG.6 per
cent. had worked steadily and had
kept straight, 5.4 per cent. had com
mitted crimes, and per cent. had dis

Free Drinks for Italian Lawmakers,


Stormy sittings of the Italian cham
ber of deputies have led to increased
consumption of liquids, and some
economists are endeavoring to abolish
free drinks. When a deputy rises to
deliver a set Grafton, coffee and iced
water are brought him by a messen.
ger. One Of the speakers neighbors
pours him out cup, and keeps it re-
plenished. There is a buffet in the
outer lobby where deputies are sup.
piled gratuitously with beer. wine
spirits, coffee, ices and mineral wa
ters, and in hot weather this is well
patronized
AS, however. the value of the
drinks consumed last year by the
5OS deputies was barely $4,000 (of
which $4,000 went for mineral waters)
they cannot be accused Of excessive
thirst.
Parliamentary representatives in
Italy receive no pay. Free drinks and
free railway travel are the only priv.
ileges they enjoy.

TAKE IT FROM Me- NELs THE FELLOW ALWAYS LOOKING
FOR SYMPATHY, NEVER GETS IT."

Ice. He might have thought it was
genuine himself and been mistaken
the same as you was. Anybody's liza
Bile to make a mistake. What you
ought to have done was to have took
1t to a good jeweler and had 1t certi-
f1ed before you paid out any money
on it. You was careless, that's all
there is about it.
The other reason why I wouldn't
advise you to set the machinery of
the law in motion about this here
business, is the principle I was tell
ing you about. You take this for your
motto: Never make a holler'-not un.
der no circumstances. If you get
stung, hide the swelling the best YOU
can and keep your mouth shut until
you get off some place by yourself
where nobody amt agoing to hear
you. Then if you want to relieve your
self by few remarks, go ahead and
make EN- and get it off your chest.
Anybody's liable to be a sucker some
time; nobody can't be wise to all the
plants there is; but, believe me, the
biggest boob in the bunch is the va
hoo with the yawp, who wants every.
body to know how shameful he's been
imposed on.
You take it from me. Nels, nv
friend: the fellow that's looking for
sympathy all the time never gets it..
what he gets is the fshy eye or the
merry ha-ha, but sympathy-nix. Not
II he puts up holler. If any son-of-
a-gun gets the best of me in a deal
make up my mind I'm just as muoi
to blame for it as he is. All I've got
is what's acoming to me- II can
throw a rope on his goat any time
without advertising myself as an easy
mark, I'll do it; if l can't, I'll otNrge
1t up to experience.
You see, I'm man that likes to
have the good opinion of my friends"
declared the Janitor. I've got the
reputation of being a pretty fiossy
at least that's what my
friends tell me, ana I'll stand for a
pretty hard poke Of the gaff before I'll
contradict 'em. II there's any rumors
TO the contrary floating around, they
don't come from me. II pick a win.
ner any time, amt going to make no
lark secret Of 1t, but IL I drop a

Increase of Lunacv.

A famous British physician. DR..
Forbes Winslow, collected figures that
In all civilized countries lunacy was
largely on the increase.
In 1859 there was one lunatic in
every 536 of the population. Today
there is one in every 275. In France
so years ago there was one insane per-
son in every $50 of the population
Today there is one in every 3OO."
This increase he attributed to al.
cohol, social competition and strain,
heredity, and injudicious marriages,
adding that If the present rate of the
growth of lunacy continued we should
have more insane thGr sane In the
world 300 years hence.

CURIOUS OLD REQUESTS.
Guides for Travellers; BUSHES for
Church Floors.

From the London Telegraph.
Ancient requests for having bells rung
and beacons lighted for the purpose Of
guiding travellers by night are quite nu-
merous in England. and this is not to be
wondered at when one considers the
apologies for roads and the absence OF
fences in the good old times"
Among the curious legacies is one
which provides for the holding OF a plot
of land. rejoicing in the name of Petit
Goa. Hole" at Stochton-on-the-F Forest. in
Yorkshire. on condition OF providing a
poor woman with a petticoat once q year.
In the old days when rushes Were
strewn on the floor in lieu OF carpets.
many persons left requests of money
and land for providing rushes for the
floors OF churches. Their use. of couf =.
has long been discontinued. but in Ger
tain places the church wardcns a tend t.
the preservation of their rights by cut
ting little grass each year and s;rew-

But perhaps one o. the most eccentric
requests Was that of a certain Jonn
Rudge OF Trysoll Stafordshire. who lcft

mon was being preached awakening the
slumoerers and incidentally to ejcc; ana

High Hats and Frock Coats.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
President Wilson wore a high hat and
frock coat when he went to visit Con-
gross. but the prevailing habiliment
among those who listened to him was the
familiar and comfortable sack Compare
lively few of the members OF Congress
wore frocks. and thus there was unusual
prominence to speaker Clark. who. IN
honor of an exceptional occasion. wore
his best frock and a white waistcoat
with a rich purple scarf and big white
carnation Sui he did not wear a high
hat.
On the same day The first Congress OF
the new republic of China met. Nearly
all the la senators and the 800 represen-
tatives present were dressed in frock
coats, and there were hundreds of nigh
hats. The official portrait OF Yuan Shl
kai. as published In the Public Ledger.
shows the high hat, the bal collar and
the frock coat.
Thus the same day the old republic or
the new world tried TO sneak away from
immemorial custom, the new republic OF
tie old world bloomed forth I'm all the
glory of plugs and frocks. China has Of
ficially banished 1.-The pgta,l. OF course,
the pig,a WAS troublesome. but was II
more of an anxiety than the tails OF the
Prince Albert the fuZz OF the stove
pipe? Could even a Chinaman sitting on
the tails of his frock and holding d hign
hat concentrate his mind on the Ilories
Of free government; and listen TO what the
honorable gentleman was saying?
One great trouble with our American
way of supplying canned freedom to be
nighted peoples is that along with the
directions we send our old fashion plates
and get our political converts rugged up
in clothes that make them wonder wheth-
er they are transplanted angels or freaks
in a show.
Perhaps il might be well to refer this
matter of high hats and frock coats ~
