or to perform Inc menim seryiCes Or'a butler The truth is he did very little of anything, because Miss Lawrence had nothing for so respectable person to do. He attended to the purchase of household supplies, and since his mistress paid cash for everything she bought her major domo was h. trusted with the funds used for tho purpose.
 Never was man more particular In rendering his accounts. If from the multitude of payments 0t any one time he was at a loss to account for dime or a nickel he was so much trou- bled that his mistress sometimes eX- pected that he would burst into tears. On such occasions she assured him that so trifling an amount was of no consequence, but in vain. He would mourn over the fact that after the un- fortunate condition in which she had found him she would surely think him dishonest He refused to be com torted-
 One day Hawkins went out to do the mornings marketing. He did not re- turn at the usual time and in the meanwhile q lady called on Miss Law renee and she sought her kind offices in the matter of q criminal who had rob bed her. The lady was willing to for give the cuIprit, but asked Miss Law AA yYnIn-NoIya VsaPpr-T1N 1Nhn ladies' car was at the door, and she begged Miss Lawrence to go with her to a police station to see the prisoner. Miss Lawrence consented and on the way the lady told her that the crlm- inal had called on one of her maids the evening before and had gone away with some valuable silver. He had been arrested in the morning. When Miss Lawrence reached the jail, and the cuIprit was marched out of his cell the good lady was aston ished. He was Homer Hawkins. His benefactress was at a loss what to do in the matter, but, turning to the lady who had suffered, was about to plead for the prisoner, When an 1n- spector showed her number of ar ticles belonging to her that had been found in Hawkins possession.
 There was e difference in Miss Law rence's neighbOrs losing valuables and losing them herself. She turned upon Hawkins, called him an ungrateful man, and then, after promising the in- spector that she would appear against the prisoner, walked out of the office the picture of indignation.
 This ended Miss LawrenCe's tndi- vidual work in the reformation of Crim- Inals. She disbanded her society, but in time joined one in which the work carried on was rather general than particular. Even this organized effort met with q very limited success. Nevertheless Miss Lawrence found that while particular reformations were not achieved, the condition of the criminal classes was bettered by the efforts of the society.

CuIpeper's Remedies.

Oll time physicians prescribed even more unsavory remedies than rancid butter. which was Emperor NIenclik's s cure for malarlal fever. In "Culpep- pcr's Herbal" published originally in 1856 and reprinted as recently as 1920, are such prescriptions as "oil wherein frogs have been soddcn till all tine flesh Is off from their bones" horse lceches burned into powder" and "black soap and beaten ginger" Some of Culpcppers remedies are of a more practical nature. If rcdhot gold be qucnchcd in wine, he says, "and the wine drunk 1t cheers the vitals and cures the plague. Outwardly used Il takes away spots and leprOsis."

"Never Too Late to Mend.7

Most of Us asso. iatc the phrase Its never too late to mend' with Charles Reade's famous novel, and very like Iy some of Us think he invented 1t. But 1t Is really one of the most ancient gems of popular philosophy. A core spondent of London Notes and Queries has discovered 1t in q petition from the commonalty to the mayor and alder men of the city in 1433. It must have been of a respectable age even then, seeing that It Is quoted as one of the proverbs of the period.

CHTTTENDEN ON PEACE

Gen II. M. Cbitt.nden, |. s. A. retired, a member of the seattle port commission, has contributed to the August issue of Atlantic Month Iy a rractica and informative re- view of the various plans for uni YenaI peace, with conclusinus of his own.
 l, is Gen Chittenden's view that, whi.a many of the plans anticipate an adoption Of some sovereign relief to become effective at once, the peace problem is Q matter for eYolu- ton, not revolution. He is inclined to the opinion that world court ta. the settlement of iuterna- tiouaI misunderstanding and, ill the beginning a limited peace Ieayve composed of Great Britain, the United States, Japan, and Frar,v. for the control of the seas and prevention of hostllities there on, might be efficient, and ultimate Iy supported by all nations.
 Armed reace is a useless burden and worse than war, in the view of Gen. Chittenden, because war is shcr. lived and cOuclu4ye, while armed Eeace is amending.
 The friends of peace are warned against the probable result Of a premadrt ending of the present struggle. He writes:
 No true friend of peace
 will seek to stop the war un-
 t:l ;us issues shall have been
 decided. If it is carried to
 the roint where real results
 are assured, where just trea-
 ties and wise statsmanship re-
 move causes th2t have been
 perennial source Of peril
 deaifng with the problem in
 an attitude of concession,
 then the war may mark
 mighty advance iu the cause
 Os peace."
 It $ suggested that the most powerful element in procuring the uItir.ats disarmament of the na- tioas is the influence Of the work ing classes. The uuquestioned sup ,o-t cf these classes in the pres cur War las placed the differen govy.. msuts under eternal Obljga- tions to them, and they must be listened 10 in the future as they have not been in the past. There Is soug degree or fraternalism among the workers of the different natioDaIities. No doubt their in- flueuce. after the war, will be for disarmament.
 Dreadful as war is," says Gen. Cnirtenden, it must proceed to its appointed end if lasting results are 10 be reached. Principles are being fought for which far trans ceu4 in importance to the human race the question of African slavery, over which our nation struggled for four long years"
 Gen. Cbittenden's review and his suggestions are thoughtful and erudife, and a distinct contribution Co the literature of peace, now in evidence
