The-Poor Rich.
During the iast tight months thf
rfjti have had a hard time. A railroad
Lrector said recently that "it Is a
great deal harder for a man who has
been living at the rate of two hundred
thousand a year to get down to a fifty-thousand-a-year
standard than it li
for a man who has been living on f 15
a week to get along on $10." This must
be bo because the fifteen-dollar man
has got along on ten so often that it.
is easy, like any habitual privation.
The multi-millionaire is a green hand
at economizing, and should be pitied
by the expert poor. But he gets no
sympathy, and in one respect deserves
none. Only this summer a Newport
tradesman announced publicly that he
would not give his rich customers
more than 90 days' time in which to
pay for the corned beef, prunes, salt
codfish and other delicacies that bend
their tables. The curse of the rich is
their poverty, and it is a pity to see
them ground down by tradesmen. Of
course It is hard that in summer, when
the rich are taken from the slums and
sent for fresh air to Newport and
other resorts, they have to be troubled
with bills. Hut holidays ,have their
responsibilities as well as their relax
ations. A story coraes to the Youth's
Companion of a wealthy man to whom
a bill was brought on Christmas morn
ing. This seemed to him an outrage,
but when he went to the door, fuming
with protest, he found a boy, who
said: "Sorry to trouble you, boss, but
1 jest have to have that seven-fifty for
our Christmas dinner."
Ever since the passage of the pure
food law, manufacturers have com
plained of the injustice of denying
them the use of the small amount of
preservatives necessary to keep cer
tain kinds of food products from fer
mentation or other form of deteriora
tion. Prof. Wiley of the bureau of
chemistry in the department of agri
culture has appointed a pure food com
mittee, to represent the different
states having pure food laws, the ob
ject of which will be to harmonize the
state laws with the laws of the gov
ernment. The committee will also,
without doubt, define what is a safe
amount of preservative to be used. It
Is said that there has been an increase
of ptomaine-poisoning since the pure
food law went into effect, but perhaps
the statement, like some of the food
products, can best be taken with a
grain of salt-or of boracic acid.

degrees may not in Itself be a good

1900 of the number of medical diplo

.the quality of the men intrusted with
the health of their fellow men. In
1906 over 25,000 men and women re
ceived the degree M. D. In 1907 the
number dropped a thousand, and this
year the decrease was sixteen hun
dred. During the year several medical
schools not In good repute were
closed. Most of the great medical
colleges require an A. B. degree or its
equivalent for entrance. "Half-baked"
professional men are no use to the
community, and even when the stan
dards of the medical schools are high,
there will be plenty of incompetent
men in the profession.'

New Velvet Carpets for Mrs. Sage
NEW YORK. Mrs. Russell Sage has
new velvet carpets In her home,
032 Fifth avenue, soft, rich and beau
tiful, with deep, thick pile into which
the foot sinks.
"I am glad," said a woman who has
known Mrs. Sage for years, that she
could have these velvet carpets before
she died. In all the years of her mar
ried life down at the house at 506
Fifth avenue, she had nothing except
an ancient Brussels carpet on her par
lor floor. It was one she had when she
first went to keeping house and had
those great, set medallions in it that
they used to use for carpet patterns
40 years ago. The nap was worn off
all over it, so that the brown warp
showed through.
"When it finally got so bad that It
was impossible to use it longer, mat
ting was put down in the parlor, as
it long had been In the rest of the
house. She always used the old horse
hair furniture she had when she was
married, such as one saw in country
parlors 40 years ago, and there were
Good Society Not
SOCIETY does none of the silly
things it is accused of. I ought to
know, for I lived in Newport more than
fifteen years."
Thus broadly did Mrs. Stuyvesant
Fish answer the criticism and attacks
which have been made on the "400"
by Mrs. Astor and by Mrs. Cornwallis
West. She declared that society had
been defamed and that the sensational
stories were circulated "to make us
ridiculous abroad."
"Being a true American, I naturally
would defend my own countrymen,
wouldn't I?" said Mrs. Fish. "Mrs.
West was an American woman, but
she hasn't been in this country for
years. What does she know of New
York society? Why doesn't she come
over and find out?

Millionaire Sportsman to Wed Actress
JESSE LEWISOHN, who for many
years was a close student of the ar
tistic development of Lillian Russell
as an actress and connoisseur in Per
sian rugs, is reported engaged to Miss
Edna McCauley, the pretty young
actress.
The romance involving the millionaire-
sportsman and son of the late
copper king, is said to have had its
inception at Atlantic City last sum
mer. Mr. Lewisohn spent the greater
part of the summer there, as did Miss
McCauley.
Atlantic City mathematicians, who
are adepts in" putting two and two to
gether and making it six, forecasted
early in the summer that the little god
Hymen was camping on the trail of
the tall young son of copper millions
and the vivacious beauty of the foot

City's Annual Coa
NEW YORK feels more than a mere
ly curious interest in the oft-repeated
prediction that the coal mines
of the country will be exhausted in an
other hundred years, for the city is the
greatest coal consumer in the world.
According to statistics recently col
lected the metropolis uses 25,000,000
tons annually and requires the serv
ices of 50,000 men to keep itself
warmed and lighted. More than
$150,000,000 is invested in the business
of supplying New York residents with
coal, and ,2.000 barges and 150 tugs
are kept busy transporting it about the
harbor. These barges average in ca
pacity from C50 to 1.500 tons, and in
them there is always afloat more than
1,500,000 tons. Every day there is
loaded into barges in the harbor of
New York more coal than is used in
a year throughout the empire of China.
Last year the wharves in the city
handled 28,400.000 tons and this year
the total promises to run well above
30,000,000 tons.
Averaging factories and small con
sumers at a price of four dollars for
each ton, New York will spend during
the approaching winter $120,000,000
to keep itself warm. The city govern
ment alone will use nearly 700,000
tons.
Whatever claim Gotham may have
to municipal cleanliness is to be at
tributed to the fact that three quarters
of the fuel shipped from' its docks is

"Mrs. Sage suffered from mortifica
tion at such things, just as much as
any other woman would, and I'm glad
she is able to have the velvet carpets
for a few years before she dies. But
they came too late to give her much
pleasure. After they had all been put
down and the furniture was in place,
she walked through the house observ
ing and admiring and then sat clown
and cried. She said not a word in ex
planation, but it was easy to under
stand. She was thinking of all the
stinted years when she might have en- f
joj-ed such things, and now she lias
them when she is too old to care very
much.
"There scarcely is a day that Mrs.
Sage does not weep," continued this
eld friend of hers. "She simply sits
and cries at the intolerable burden of
having $65,000,000 on her shoulders, at
the burden of distributing that huge
fortune in the way that will do the
most good. She is 80 years old and
has a New England conscience. She
wants to do just the right thing with
it all, and it requires an amount of
thought and study and imposes a feel
ing of responsibility that is hard on
an old woman who only wants a quiet
corner to spend her few remaining
years in."
Silly, Says Mrs. Fish
ordinary social functions Mrs. West
speaks of. They certainly must be
funny. I wonder what they would be
like? I really never heard of any oi
these things before.
"Newport society is perfectly sane
and normal. It is high time the silly
stories about it were stopped. They
are absolutely false, every one of
them, and no loyal, patriotic man
would publish stories which belittle
abroad the dignity of his own coun
trywomen and men.
"Good society is the same every
where, and a lady is a lady in any
country. Being an American, I consid
er myself just as good as any of the
foreign blood, superior probably to
some.
"New York society, if anything, is
more dignified than that abrbad; I be
lieve it is ieally more exclusive in
some respects. King Edward is very
democratic and goes about socially a
great deal more than President Roose
velt does.
"I agree with Mrs. West that if New
York society were to open its doors
a little wider its influence might be
felt."

there was anything new in his ardent
interest in affairs histrionic. In fact,
there was a period when he was very
devoted to Miss -Russell, and was seen
much in her company along the classic

But then, it seems, he was only
slightly bruised by the shafts ot Eros,
whereas now the dart has ripped right
through his waistcoat, a twin dart in
flicting a similar wound in the bosom
of Miss Edna McCauley.
Mr. Lewisohn recently gave an ex
clusive little banquet. Miss McCaulej
was present and so were several of her
intimate friends and several intimate
friends of the millionaire. The occa
sion, it is said, was to serve as a fare
well to single blessedness and during
the height of the jolly little dinner
the couple confessed their happiness
and fixed the marriage day. The wed

GATHERING DEAR GEORGE IN.
"You look very much excited, dear,"
he said, when she entered the parlor
where he was waiting for her.
"Well, I should think I ought to look
excited," she answered; "I've just had
the most awful argument with ma."
And she began to weep hysterically.
"Why, what is the matter, my d:.r
ling?" he inquired, as he slid an aim
around her waist and endeavored to
soothe her; "what was the argument?"
"Oh! how can I tell you? She said
you were only trifling with me, anil
that you would never pop the ques
tion; and I told her she did you a
great injustice, for 1 believed that you
would pop the question to-night. She
said you wouldn't, and I said you
would, and we had it hot and heavy.

WESTERN CANADA AFFORbS BET
TER CONDITIONS THAN EVER
FOR SETTLEMENT.
To the Editor Sir: Doubtless
many of your readers will be pleased
to have some word from' the grain
fields of Western Canada, where such j
a large number of Americans have
made their home during the past few !
years. It is pleasing to be able to re- j
port that generally the wheat yield, j
has been good; it will average about j
20 bushels to the acre. There will
be many cases where the yield will go
35 bushels to the acre, and others
where 50 bushels to the acre has
been recorded. The oat and barley
crop has been splendid. The prices
of all grains will bring to the farmers
a magnificent return for their labors.
An instance has been brought to my
notice of a farmer in the Pincher
Creek (Southern Alberta) district
where winter wheat is grown who
made a net profit of $19.55 per acre, or
little less than the selling price of his
land. 30, 40, and 50 bushel yields are
recorded there. The beauty about the
lands in Western Canada is that they
are so well adapted to grain-raising,
while the luxuriant grasses that grow
everywhere in abundance make the
best possible feed for fattening cattle
or for those used for dairying pur
poses. The new homestead regulations
which went into force September, 1908,
attracted thousands of new settlers. It
Is now possible to secure 160 acres in
addition to the 160 acres as a free
grant, by paying $3.00 an acre for it.
Particulars as to how to do this and
as to the railway rates can be se
cured from the Canadian Government
Agents.
"The development throughout West
ern Canada during the next ten years
will probably exceed that of any other
country in the world's history," Is not
the statement of an optimistic Cana
dian from the banks of the Saskatche
wan, but of Mr. Leslie M. Shaw of
New York, ex-Secretary of the United
States Treasury under the late Presi
dent McKinley and President Roose
velt, and considered one of the ablest
financiers of the United States. "Our
railway companies sold a good deal
of their land at from three to five dol
lars an acre, and now the owners are
selling the same land at from fifty to
seventy-five dollars, and buying more
up in Canada at from ten to fifteen."
The editor of the Monticello (Iowa)
Express made a trip through Western
Canada last August, and was greatly
impressed. He says: "One cannot
cross Western Canada to the moun
tains without being impressed with its
Immensity of territory and its future
prospects. Where I expected to find
frontier villages there were substan
tially built cities and towns with every
modern convenience. It was former
ly supposed that the climate was too
severe for it to be thought of as an
agricultural country, but its wheat
raising possibilities have been amply
tested. We drew from Ontario many
of our best farmers and most progres
sive citizens. Now the Americans are
emigrating In greater numbers to
Western Canada. Seventy-five per
cent, of the settlers in that good coun
try located southeast of Moose Jaw
and Regina are Americans. Canada
is well pleased with them and is ready
to welcome thousands more."

hand that the solution of the problems of aerial flight will be found.
There are to-day various forms
advocates. The two tvpes most familiar to the public, those which have
given the best results, are the aeroplane, a heavicr-than-air contrivance,
and the motor balloon, which is lighter than air. Also engaging the at
tention of scientists and inventors are the heliocoptre. a heavier-than-air
type, which depend supon vertical propellers for ascensional power without
planes or gas bag, the ornithoptre. depending on flapping wings for flight,
and a number of other types which
which offer little hope for success.
Aerial navigation in its present
art acquired through practice. This
gained through witnessing exhibition flights of motor-driven balloons,
in which the dirigibility depends upon the agility of the operator and
his ability to balance. Aerial flight is not a mere circus performance,
however, but a science which is governed by laws as exact as those of
physics or any other science.
The aeroplane is to-day foremost in the minds of the public, and it
is this type that is the most promising for the practical application of
aerial craft to the uses of commerce, war, pleasure and exploration. If
the numerous inventors who are struggling in the dark in the hope of
stumbling by accident upon the means of successful aerial flight would but
devote their eiforts to this type of machine they might entertain much
brighter hopes of conquering the air.
At various times for centuries past there have been demonstrations
of public interest in the efforts being made to solve the problem of aerial
flight by man. Until the perfection of the light weight motor these were
without notable practical results, although much knowledge of the air
and its intricacies was gained. But to those who have navigated above the
earth in the modern motor-driven aerial craft the time when airships will
be as numerous as automobiles are to-day seems close at hand. It is the
perfecting of the airship along the lines of those aerial craft which are
now making daily flights in France, Germany, England and the United
States, that will hereafter occupy the attention of aeronauts.

The battleground of social progress is npw, as always, the human
heart. This is the citadel to which advancing intelligence has driven the
demons of greed and tyranny, cruelty and passion. Until that is mastered,
civilization is at the same peril which has overthrown the greatest nations
in the past. For that mastery the soul life must furnish weapons and
methods.
Three fallacies mark the faulty thinking which so afflicts us now.
Better conditions will make better men. Is it true? Keligion has always
urged that better men will make better conditions; and that unless men
are better in heart improved conditions are not a lasting benefit. If
as you better conditions, you can carry along a commensurate culture of
the soul life, a deepening love and reverence, shown in honor and justice
and kindness, then progress is secure.
But that is not the logic. This is the argument: Because, when a
small percentage of a nation become rich and powerful they become waste
ful and oppressive and debauch the nation, therefore, if all the people
became rich and powerful they would not fall into these snares.
Again, it is assumed that because religion, especially Christianity,
has thus far been coincident with great social evils, therefore these evils
are the fruit of religion and indorsed by it. When we reply that religion,
like law and science, has been the struggle of the soul life for mastery,
then we are told that because religion has thus far failed of complete
success it should be thrown overboard.
Thus humanity is to cut off its wings, blind its eyes and deafen its
ears to all the apjeals of its higher nature, and then expect to escape the
pit in which the glorious civilizations
of long ago were plunged when they
forgot (iod.

BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CHURCH
Cleveland Institution Plans to Try a
New System.
The Epworth Memorial Methodist
church in Cleveland has decided to try
a new system of church management.
A business manager has been ap
pointed who will give his entire time
and attention to the finances of the
church. As executive secretary he
will collect the benevolences, dues of
members, subscriptions, etc., and pay
all expenses. He will serve as sec
retary of the standing committees of
the church and keep a record of their
business for transmission to the offi
cial board. This, it is expected. will
leave the pastor free to give atten
tion to the larger plans of the work
and to his pulpit and pastoral duties.
Epworth Memorial, has the largest
membership of all the Protestant
curches In the city. It has an ex
tensive charity work and handles over
$35,000 in contributions every year.
Dr. G. K. Morris, district superin
tendent, fctrongly commends the in
novation. "To my mind," he says, "it
is the Ideal of church government. I
expect to see the plan adopted in
many other cittes."
