The English Way of Keeping Girls and Boys in the Nursery Is Better Than Giving Them the Liberty Which Is Allowed in Most American Families. Children of the present day are so precocious and self-possesed they fairly take one's breath away. Watch them at concerts, or in shops and street cars and they certainly can give their mothers pointers in ease of manner. This reminds the writer of some thing she saw done by a child in a car the other day. The little girl was evi dently on her way home from school and could not have been more than ten years old. When the conductor came round for her fare she looked up at him in the most self-possessed man ner and said: "Conductor, I find I have no money; will you please give me an envelope?" Whereupon he took a self-addressed envelope from his pocket and gave it her. It seems that if one has not his fare, the conductor will pay it, giving the passenger an envelope to send him back the nickel. This performance shows a beautiful faith on the part ol conductors, which, it is to be hoped, is justified by the subsequent proceed ings. The street car company, it will be noticed, is not the loser by the transaction, even if the forgetful one does not return the money, and still the \#>nder grows th;it conductors have such confidence in the public. This way is evidently well known to the children, and while a grown per son might well be embarassed by such a confession, the little girl in ques tion was not in the least abashed. "When questioned about the envelope, she said, she "had not realized when she got aboard the car that she had no money." Live and learn, even in street cars. It is by these little things that one judges of the precocity of children. No wonder that eighteen-year-old girls are blase and do not care for society. At sixteen their parties and other gayeties are just as elaborate as those given by their mothers for their friends. They have theater parties and can tell as much about the good points of actors and actresses as can veteran theater goers. Perhaps, this is not characteristic of this age more than another, for a man said the other day that he remembered how very fast the young people were con sidered thirty years ago by his father and mother. It is however, the aplomb of Tnites of children that astonishes one. After all, the English way is better; jdrls in the nursery until they are eighteen, and then everything will bt and fresh to them. English girls <>f »-ighteen are frequently shy, and the shy girl may be laughable to sonic persons, but heaven knows she -would be rather refreshing over here. Fancy a shy girl! A shy boy is quite beyond probability. MAINLY ABOUT PEOPLE Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Backus have re turned from White Bear and have taken the residence, 501 Holly avenue. • * • Mrs. G. H.

Dear Madam: In reading over your editorial in Saturday's Globe in re gard to poor spelling was very much struck with your statement, as follows- "A typewritten letter that is correct in spelling and construction is such a rare thing that if one received such a letter it would be preserved as a curiosity." This seems to me rather a strong statement to make and it rather sur prised me. as I did not think that the stenographer of today was quite as ITEMS FROM EVERYWHERE Tommy, just recovered from a se vere attack of the measles, had a chop for breakfast, while Benny, his small brother, had to -share the bacon and eggs served for the rest of the family. Benny began to weep copiously. "Now, Benny," remarked his mother, "you've always enjoyed bacon, and I don't believe you'd care for a chop if you had one," "Do like chops," roared the small boy, fists in eyes, "an' lamb, an' mut ton, an' any other kind of beef, 'cept common pig!" Thirty-three women keep light houses for Uncle Sam, the oldest in the service being Mrs. Nancy Rose, who has had charge of the lights at Stony Point, on the Hudson, for forty-five years. The most famous of women lighthouse keepers is Ida Lewis, whose little cottage of six rooms is situated on a rock in Newport harbor. Mrs. Lewis has saved thirteen lives and has received from the government a medal containing $75 worth of gold. The women employed, in the lighthouse service are for the most part the wid ows or daughters of former keepers, and the responsibilities of. their posi tions are often great. There is a doctor in Detroit who says that much if not most of the sickness of the world is due to the suggestion of newspapers. People read the "ads" of the patent medicine venders, with their long lists of symptoms, conclude they have the disease because they have some of the symptoms, and end by having the disease really. Our na tional malady, dyspepsia, is due, so he says, not to quick luncheons or indi gestible food, but to the, faddists, who have discovered that hurried meals are bad and indigestible food unwhole some.

These are open to shoulder, and have groups of tucks at top, and above the lace edge medallions of graduated sizes are inserted in corners, and out lines by the hand work which continued there in a dainty vine design almost to the top. In the drawers there is embroid ery out lining the space in which the graduated medallions are inset, and they finish with a full lace ruffle on hem. The hand-made lace mentioned and which is not illustrated is truly lovely, as the Honiton braids are fash ioned into designs similar to duchesse lace and the connecting lace stitches are varied with "spiders" in the wider spaces. This lace can be made at home with a little patience, and the re sult more than repays the trouble taken. The braid itself probably re sembles more the skeleton of a leaf in texture than anything else, and comes in different widths and designs. bad as you represent I have, been working as a stenographer for over five years, and during that time I do not believe that I have ever used a dictionary, or had a letter returned to me on account of misspelled words. My education was received in the city schools, and I only attended high school one year. During the period I have been working I have constructed most of my own letters. Do you really think that a well constructed and cor rectly spelled typewritten letter is a curiosity? Yours very truly, —"A Thinker." I was very glad to receive your let ter, though I must say I meant what I said about typewritten letters. Per haps my experience in that way has been unfortunate. However, since re ceiving your letter, I can no longer speak so strongly, as yours is an ex cellent specimen of correctness, and I hope you will write me again in spite of the fact that we have had a slight disagreement. s she is tall and angular, being unlike the common idea of the "black mam my.

In the dining room of nearly every ho tel in London one finds a round table filled with cold fowl, cold ham, roast beef, tongue and mutton, cold lobster and salmon with mayonnaise, and many "chaudfroids" so masked with jelly and so attractively garnished that one knows before tasting that they must be good. At breakfast and lunch time, and even when in need of a bite before going to bed, the true Englishman makes a tour of inspection around this table in order to select the particular palate tickler of his own fancy. But the usual breakfast of the ordinary mortal is tea, toast, muffins or very hard cold rolls, with eggs or bacon— and the inevitable jam. This jam is always obtainable at any English table, and it is of many varieties, orange, plum or strawberry predominating. When the un spoiled American comes along, however, he is served with boiled coffee, warmed over rolls, ice water and all the different kinds of jam at once. He swallows this, with eggs or bacon, and then he won ders why his digestion doesn't digest. The boiled egg is; th« true test of patriot ism. The Englishman eats his in the proper manner, of course; he sets it up in a tiny cup, breajks the end, adds a dash of salt, and proceeds to absorb it most daintily with a tiny spoon. But the American asks for two, and he wantß them broken into a glass tumbler or gob let, and he then chops them furiously, adding salt, pepper and butter until they are thoroughly mixed into a delicious mess which, tastes better than it looks.— Linda Hull Lamed in Good Housekeep ing, i Dowie's Note Paper.

"I hold courage to be one of the car dinal virtues," said Auriel loftily, 'but I do not expect you to agree with me, Lord Chessom. Our opinions vary on most matters. No two people could be more diametrically opposite in thought, word and deed than you and I." Her glance swept over him where he lounged idly in a long chair, and then, with an air of finding him an object of distaste, she turned away, ostentatious ly taking up a book. Lord Chessom tilted his chair so as to obtain a better view of her profile, and studied it languidly from under half closed lids. It was as nearly perfect as a really attractive woman's profile can be, and a hovering smile dawned on his lips as he noted the disdainful droop of curved lashes, the glow on an oval cheek, the proud compression of a beautiful mouth. '■She takes life in such deadly earnest," he reflected; "there are no half meas ures with her. One must be a hero—or nothing." "Extremes meet and tough," he re marked presently; "since I cannot be exactly like you, Miss Hope, I find some consolation in being your antith esis. But the virtue of courage has its gradations; there is such a thing as foolhardiness." "You think Mr. Rochfort was fcol hardy, then, yesterday? I think he was splendidly brave." "There was no object in risking his life," replied Chessom; "the mere fact of riding down a steep declevity and taking an almost impossible leap at the bottom of it is not to my mind admir able when there is nothing to be gain ed by so doing." They were speaking of Adrian Roch fort, a scatter-brained Irishman, who filled the post of secretary to Auriel's father, and whose success in that ca pacity was a surprise to those who knew how incongruous his tempera ment was to the dry researches of Sir William Hope. The secretary's devotion to Miss Hope was patent, and some people thought it not unlikely that he might succeed in winning her, since she discouraged him less than her many other admir ers. Her usual impatience of Lord Chessom, begun in town during the season, had increased lately; she told herself that she despised this type of man—dilettante, a dawdler through life, never rising above mediocrity or stray ing a yard from the beaten track. It had been a matter of regret to her that a chance meeting with him on their toifr through the Holy Land had ended in his linking himself on to their party and traveling as far as Jerusa lem with them. She made no reply to his last speech, bu.t moved to the balcony, and, lean ing her arms on it, gazed over the minarets and domes and many shaped roofs of the Holy City, trying to con jure up visions of its past existence before it was accessible to tourists armed with guide books and kodaks. 'You are not going away, Miss Hope, said Chessom plaintively, "just when we were beginning to get on. I hoped you would try to convert me I assure you I am not bigoted. There are even moments when energy and Pluck, and the more violent kind of virtues, appeal to me and seem worth while. If you would take a little trou ble with me"— "Thank you," interrupted Auriel, "I have neither time nor inclination for reforming people." "I am not a people," he objected. "I am an earnest individual. It appears to me your obvious duty to take me in hand. He had risen while he spoke, and now leaned over the balustrade beside her. his Indolence banished for the moment. Ao unprejudiced eyes he would have looked a fair specimen of manhood, handsome, too, in spite of the bored expression that had become habitual to him. Auriel's lips were parted for a re bellious answer, when Rochfort'e cheerful voice broke in on them and he stepped through the window say- Ing: J "Are you two quarreling again? I hope I don't intrude. But I have a message from Sir William for you, Miss Hope." "Does father want me?" she asked. He wished me to say that it would be wiser for you to give up going to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to night. There wil be an enormous crowd." "But we are to have seats reserved for us, in the gallery, by the monks." "Yes. Still, Sir William thinks it wlu be too fatiguing for you." "Better stay at home," murmured Chessom. Certainly not," said Auriel, her in decision resolved at once; "it will be a new experience, and I would not miss it ony any account." "Then we must go." "We?" She raised her eyebrows. "I do not see any necessity for you to come, Lord Chessom. I should advise you not to, in fact." "That is one for you, Chessom," re marked Rochfort, as she left them. "Miss Hope knows my disposition," Chessom said, unmoved; "she kindly supplies me with the necessary incen tive." Rochfort laughed. He toook life eas ily at all times, and it had not occurred to him to fear any rivalry in this quar ter. "I think Sir William is right," he said. "It would have been better for her to give up going. But it has been her great desire to see the Easter celebrations here, and her wish is law to her father." It seemed, nevertheless, as though the wish would not be easy of accom plishment. Thousands of pilgrims had flocked to Jerusalem to see the Easter miracle of the Descent of the Holy Fire, and every available inch of standing room in the church was being filled up by the time the Hopes' party arrived and made its way with difficulty to the gallery of the Latin monks. It was an extraordinary scene. The crowd was so great that every window, corner and niche where a man's foot could rest held a pilgrim, and there were even pyramids of men standing on one another's shoulders. The small gallery was like an oasis' in a desert of human heads; Its only other occupants being a pacha and one or two of his suite. In consequence of the multitude of people and the number of lamps, the heat was exces sive and a heavy cloud of mist ob scured the church. The pilgrims, impatient after hours of waiting, were becoming more fren zied every moment as the time for the miracle approached; and when the patriarch, after being conducted by jbl magnificent procession three times around the sepulchre, was disrobed of his outer garments of cloth of silver and went Into the tomb, the door of which was then closed, many of them screamed aloud, and some crawled over the heads of others in order to get a nearer view. "What are they going to do now?" said Auriel. "Who Is the man guarded by soldiers?" "Do you see that round aperture in the chapel over the sepulchre?" whis pered Chessom. "The holy fire will be given through that, and the man who is being guarded is the fortunate pil grim who will receive it first. He has agreed to'pay the highest sum for the honor." There was absolute silence for a mo ment throughout the church, and then a light appeared, and the happy pil- grim received from the patriarch with in a bunch of thin wax candles, lit, and inclosed^ in an iron frame, to prevent their being torn asunder and put out in the crowd. A furious battle ensued, every one being eager to obtain the holy fire; and soon the lights increased in" all direc tions as one after another lit his candle at the sacred flame, some in their ec stasy putting the bunches of burning tapers to their faces, hands and breasts to purify their sins. By this time the atmosphere had be come so dense and suffocating that people began to faint, and three men overcome by it fell from the upper range of galleries and were dashed to pieces among the people below. A young and beautiful Armenian lady, after an ineffectual attempt to leave her place, jsank down in it and died. Then a panic seized the pilgrims, and with one accord they made a move ment toward the great door, which had been closed, and round which numbers of people, suffocated and pressed by the crowd in front of them, had fallen un conscious and dead. The church had suddenly become a scene of danger and horror. The pacha rose with his attendants to leave the gallery, and Auriel, alarm ed for her father's safety, suggested ac companying him. "It will be better to stay here now," said Chessom. "You will never get through that crowd. I will see if I can find another way out for you if you will wait here." But the perversity which he always roused in Auriel prevented her seeing the wisdom of this suggestion. "Other people are getting out," she said; "see, the great door is open now. I think we had much better leave at once. Will you look after my father, Mr. Rochfort? I can take cure of my self." Regardless of their remonstrances, she led the way down and joined the throng surging toward the corner be hind which the great door stood. The tumult had increased by this time, and the guards outside, alarmed at the rush from within, thought that the Christians wished to attack them, so they defended themselves with their bayonets, and the pilgrims, impelled forward, were either cut down or fell and were trampled to death. Auriel, seeing the pac-Tia a few paces ahead of her, surrounded by his at tendants, followed in his wake, and a group of people hurrying up closed in between her and the others so that she was cut off from them. She pressed forward toward the Pacha, thinking that she would be safe among his suite, but at that mocent the pacha himself, overcome with the stifling lack of air, fainted, and while some of his people picked him up the others, drawing their swords, literally clove a way for him to be carried out through the throng. Auriel, sick at heart with the horri ble sights and sounds, turned to re treat, but even a step backward was now impossible, and she saw with dis may that her father, anxious for her safety, was making his way after her, followed by Rochfort. She cried to them to go back, and as she did so a mist clouded her vision and a feeling of suffocation tightened like a grip at her throat. The next Instant she swayed and would have fallen, but that the crowd carried her on a few steps, and then a sensation of drowning in a turbulent sea came to her, and she sank down, remembering nothing more. •'■•■• The cool night air blowing on her face brought her back to conscoiusness, and she found that she was driving in a carriage with her father to their hotel. "That is right," he said, as she open ed her eyes and lifted her head from the cushions. "You are better, dear." "Where are the others?" she asked faintly. "They are still In the church, I am afraid," her father answered gravely. "After Chester brought you out, he went back for Rochfort, who had dis appeared." "Lord Chessom brought me out?" She sat up, striving 1 to recall what had hap pened. "Oh, I remember—that horrible crowd —the people falling all round me." She shuddered. "I felt as though I were dying-." "Chessom was just in time. If he had not reached you as you fell, you would have been trampled to death. He lifted you above his head and literally fought his way backward and brought you to the sacristy. Then he went back to find Rochfort." She sat silent, a strange disquietude taking possession of her. Lord Chessom, the idler, the laggard, had saved her, and was risking his life again in that awful, surging sea of panic-stricken people. She had seen strong men struggle for their lives and swooning in the strug gle. She had succumbed herself to the frightful pressure and horror combin ed. And now he, this man whom she had despised, whom she had almost called a coward, was there—perhaps dying or dead. "Father," she said, "we must go back. lam better now, much better. I shall not faint again. We cannot leave them to their fate." But Sir William was obdurate. He blamed himself for ever having allow ed her to go to the church at all; now that she was rescued, he would not hear of her returning there. "I will send people to look for them from the hotel," he said, "but they will probably arrive there themselves very soon." A rosy glow was beginning to tinge the gray dawn in the east when they descended from the carriage, and, while Sir William stayed to relate what had happened and to give directions, Au riel hurried to her own room, there to give way to passionate weeping and prayer. "If he is killed I shall never forgive myself," she thought. "I want to ask his pardon for the injustice I have done him." Her anxiety was entirely for Lord Chessom. She had forgotten Adrian Rochfort, and when presently she heard his voice, mingled with her father's, at the door, she ran to greet them with a Joyful cry. saying, "You are safe, then ?" "Yes —I had a bad time of It, though. A man pulled me down, and I thought I was done for, but Ohessom dragged me up to my feet again, and we fought our way clear. I missed him just a yard or two from the door, and though I waited outside some "time he did not come through, so I hastened here to make sure of your safety." His tone was full of elation. Auriel's apparent eagerness about his welfare was full of encouragement for him. But the light that had shone In her eyes faded and a pallor crept over her face, as she said: "You left him there? You did not go back to help him out?" "Why, no." Rochfort's face clouded, and his voice was troubled. "It was not possible to get in; one could not stem such a torrent as that. But I will go now and see what has become of him." And he turned and went down stairs crestfallen, while the thought flashed through his mind: "Is it possible she cares? But she has always scorned him so." The morning hours lagged heavily on, and by the time it was day the city had awakened to the knowledge of the tragedy that nlghf had concealed. Everywhere sounds of lamentation ■Mrs. Anderson, Jacksonville, I; Fla., daughter of Recorder of Deeds, West, who witnessed her signature to the following letter, praises Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Deab Mrs. Ptnkiiam:—There are but few wives and mothers who have not at times endured agonies and such pain as only women know. I wish such women knew the value of Lydia E. Pinkhani's Vegetable Com pound. It is a remarkable medicine, different in action from any I ever knew and thoroughly reliable. "I have seen many cases where women doctored for years without per manent benefit, who were cured in less than three months after taking- your Vegetable Compound, while others who were chronic and incurable came out cured, happy, and in perfect health after a thorough treatment with this medicine. I have never used it myself without gaining great benefit. A few doses restores my strength and appe tite, and tones up the entire system. Your medicine has been trieil and found true, hence I fully endorse it." — Mrs. R. A.

The whole court before the entrance was covered with bodies laid in rows, and inside, especially in the comer be hind the great door, were hundreds of people, living and dead, lying in heaps several feet high. A soldier who had been on guard near the door was standing with his musket shouldered, quite dead and surrounded by pilgrims—some fallen In groups, some still upright, but all life less. Truly, it was a ghastly sacrifice of human life! There wa.s no further sign of Rochfort, and though Sir William sent messengers constantly in serin h «.f him and Chessom, and even went him self to see if the latter were among the slain, he could not trace them. One of th<- guards told him that an Englishman answering to the descrip tion of Chessom had saved several Vves, carrying women, and even im-n. ?out into safety: but no one could give further news than this. And with the reappearance, alone, <>r Rochfort late in the afternoon, Auriel learned two things—that Chessom's death was almost a certainty, and Ui;il the certainty meant, to ljer, despair. "He may have escaped," said Roch fort, doubtfully, "but, if so, where can he be? I can find him nowhere." "You should never have left him!" exclaimed Auriel. "He went back for you; if you had been together both might have been saved." And she turned and hurried out through the garden toward the street, with a sudden vague determination to go herself in search of him. • Some one coining quickly toward her stopped, amazed ut the look on her face, and held out a restraining hand to stay her. "Where are you going?" "Lord Chessom!" She recoiled for an instant, while the happy tears Hashed into her eyes. '"I was going to look for you." She had clasped his hand in both her own; her lips were quivering; never surely had the beautiful Miss Hope, shown such vivid emotion as now. "I am not fit for you to see," he said. "I was hoping to slip indoors quietly and make myself presentable." But In her eyes was none of th» old disdain; one would have said a more welcome sight never gladdened them. "You saved my life," she faltered. "I did not deserve it. Oh, where have you been, Lord Chessom? We have been so terribly frightened about you!" "I got knocked down and stunned," he said simply, "and some people took me to their house and looked after me. I came to you as soon as I had got my senses back." Her hand was still in his, though now her eyes were drooping before his earn est gaze. "Thank God!" she whispered softly. "You cared, then — Auriel?" "I have never cared so much about anything in all my life." "Or any one?" She hesitated only for an instant. "Or any one." "Then I say thank God, too." "I am delighted, of course, my dear Chessom," said Sir Walter an hour later, "but I confess it is a surprise to me. Auriel and you have always seem ed so—" "So diametrically opposite to oaoh other," concluded Lord Ohessom, gayly. "Yes, we noticed that ourselves. But a good contrast is better than a bad match.
