OUT OF WORK. Tranetly of Unemployment to the Man Who la Akliik. The tragedy of unemployment deepens m the ease of those men who are visibly aging, passing prematurely into that condition when society has neither use nor regard for their services. The development of the modern city life tn its feverish thirst for gain sucks up the activities of the young. Work cun always be found for the children. lint the man of forty lias already become suspect. At fifty there is evidently stretching before him the bleak old age of the unwanted poor. The despairing clutch of the aging at any degrading occupation which before they would have scorned is one of the commonest and pitifulest sights of modern life 1 think of those whom I have known, those who dye their hair to keep the appearance of youth, the applicants for positions, their efforts toward respectability, the ink lim'd coat, the shabbiness concealed, the attempt, always so grotesque and ineffective. to strike the right note between a dignity that will command respect and an eagerness that will become a mere mendicant pleading for aid. I remember one with a record of over thirty years' consistent service, exhibiting hands twisted and gnarled with disease, who shuttles daily through his work with the help of kindly comrades, fearing each day to be detected. Though the work itself is an agony, the one panic fear is not that he shall be compelled but that he shall be forbidden to continue. 1 think of others tucked liway out of sight in the recesses of tenement dwellings, flung aside from the active machinery of the world, who "cannot quite bring themselves" to join the unemployed processions or solicit a promiscuous charity of the crowd, who cling to the desperate hope that one day the cloud will lighten, the miracle happen that some one will be found desiring their services. Ttiis is in no austere and frugal community, with difficulty supporting its children, but amid wealth pouring into its borders beyond the dreams of avarice and such luxury and I vain display as can only be paralleled I in the later days of Home.—lndependent Review. Gnnrdlnir the Mouth. Remember the disgust which overspreads the faces in a railroad car when a woman was seen to give her poodle a drink from the public drink- I ing glass. No one else touched it during that trip, but it is more dangerous and not less disgusting to drink after human beings than a dog. Fortunately most disease germs die easily, and it is chiefly by the quite direct means of contact just suggested that the contagious diseases puss from one to an-: other. If we put nothing into the mouth except what belongs there, we might ride in a car witli a diphtheria patient and run no chance of catching the disease. Disease germs do not fly about seeking whom they may devour. The matter of protection is largely in ’ our own hands.—Good Housekeeping. Hopeless Case. The forgetful man was stepping jauntily along with a smile on ids' cheerful face when he was accosted by I a friend. “Look here.” said the man. “Why in the world are you carrying two urn 1 brellas?” “Why, let me think,” said the forgetful man. “Oh, yes, I know how it happened. My wife wanted me to get her ! umbrella that’s been mended, and she ! thought I'd better bring along mine to; remind me. it being a pleasant day. and then I thought I’d better bring two in case I stepped in anywhere and bap ' pened to forget one of them.” Trapped In Armor. Trying on ancient armor is not always an agreeable experiment, judging from the experience of a French artist. He had bought a quaint old helmet and put it on his own head to I judge the effect. Unfortunately he j touched a spring, the visor shut down I suddenly, and, being alone tn the studio, he could not free himself from the mediaeval head covering without help. At last he ran into the street, where his appearance created considerable amusement till a charitable passerby managed to set him free. Hour Glass. An Odd Globe. A great globe ornamented with the map of the earth carved in stone decorates the estate of an eccentric Englishman at Swanage. It stands overlooking the sea and is visible for quite a distance. One may w alk about it and study it in detail. The plain surfaces, such as the oceans, lakes and deserts, are decorated with Scriptural texts, which are supposed to apply especially to the locality they occupy. A Short Story. Chapter I.—“ I think you are just the bestest, goodest husband in all the world!” Chapter II.—“1 wonder how much she wants?’ Chapter lll.—“And he gave It to me without fussing a bit I wonder what he has b<-en up to?” The Hualneaa Mun. “Don’t you think he rather likes me?” “Oh. well enough to consent to your marriage to his daughter, but I don't think you'd better try to borrow any money from him.”—Chicago Post.
