Depew was en tertained by the Montauk club the other night in celebration of his birth- day. "Once," said Senator Depew, "I congratulated a friend upon his birth day and he replied: 'Please do not re member my birthday it is a painful reminder of how few remain.' It*a different now," continued the senator. "We celebrate the years we have, .thank God they are so many, and trust provi dence for the future." Senator Depew spoke then upon the usefulness of the old man. He spoke of Admiral Iveppel, of the British navy, who at 94 is think ing seriously of marrying again. "It is an age of old men," the senator declared. "Wfe are the youngest of the great powers, we have a youthful and strenuous president, and yet it is the mature, wisdom of age which governs us. The house of representatives, since the adoption of the rules of Speaker Reed, is tinder the absolute sway of its speaker, and by universal choice as well as preeminent merit, Col. Cannon, of Illinois, will be elected to that position when he is A**-** 9t ft a. t\ mt 68. Those mature statesmen, Payne and Grosve nor, are the leaders upon the floor. "The senate of the United States is the real power in our system. About four senators on each side, all past 60 and the majority over 70. wlienJn agreement have shaped the laws and settled the policy jf the nations." DEVICE TO PREVENT WRECKS Secretary of Pern, Ind., Railroad T. M. C. A. Haa Electric Syntem That Will Stop TrainN. Jesse Joel Moore, secretary of the new Railroad Y. M. C. A. at Peru, Ind., has just patented a signal sys tem and safety gear designed to pre vent wrecks on steam and electric railways. It is electrically operated, consisting of two insulated conduc tors extending along the track, each conductor beings divided into block* and each block having a battery lo cated, in the middle, thus converting each half of the block into an in sulated pole. By allowing each block to overlap the other one-half, the in ventor insures constant protection to all trains. Each engine or motor car carries a simple mechanism which instantly shuts off the motive power and applies the brakes in a space of time relative to the speed of the train. When two engines, each carrying a contact with the insulated conductors along the track, enter in* to the same block, an electric current will immediately be established, and thus the trains brought to a stand still without any action on the part of the engineer. Here is another golf story which a very indignant but somewhat erratic player has sent. He was busily em ployed in endeavoring to get round the course while his caddie kept close to him all the time. At each bad stroke the caddie made a muttered but per fectly audible ejaculation of contempt. "Confound your impudence," exclaimed the irritated player at last as he plowed up a ton of earth, "if you say anything more FU juat hit you over the head." "All right* sir," said the cad die calmly, showing him the bag of clubs, /^but-are you sure you know the right club tQ :Use for that purpose?" s.«i ''ti.^ t- 9- i- J^SLdSU •&***- j*tt -r sser cs^s* 4B0*tESI«HH.LI(WXlRE.s| fowhere la He So Loielf la th* Place He Oace Loved Tla«t ._•,, Has Chanced. „. The late John W. Mackay might be considered a supremely successful man, for he was rich, and knew the pleasure of generous giving to those on whom the burdens of life fall hfav ily. Yet by his own confession to ft friend, says a writer in the Philadel phia Press, the vanishing years not only took with them many of the old familiar faces of his early struggling, youth, but they changed the west, as he knew it, until It ceased to seem like home. "You see," Mr. Mackay once ex plained, "a man is nowhere so lonely ae in a place he once loved and return* to only to find it altered beyond recog nition. That is the case with me and it is the reason I spend so much time abroad. "I was born in 1831, and went west with the high tide of gold-seekers. I roughed it with the rest, my ambition being to make myself an equal to the hero of my boyhood, a man I used to see hurrying through City Hall square in New York when I played there as a k°y,—a man with a hurried step and a bundle of newspapers under his arm,— James Gordon Bennett. "I learned to love the rough west as I've never loved any other place. I got my gold, but I have lost my home. I can hardly realize it, but my west is no more. It died with my youth. So I am glad to get a-way from everything that reminds me of its passing, as sdine men will live anywhere, everywhere but in the house they were happy in befere the death of a wife." WELL PAID FOR HER WORK. Addretiing Invitation* Glvea a New York Woman a Handsome Income. A New York woman of considerable social prominence, but limited means, succeeds in maintaining her position by a novel industry that does not, in the opinion of "the set," place her out ride the pale of respectability. She addresses invitations and attends to correspondence as a means of adding to her income. She has the entree to most of the well-known houses in "the city. Many of her patrons consider it an unusual favor to have their invita tions go out to the world addressed in her unmistakable chirography. Some of them are never able to be in vited to the houses that she goes to, Bays a New York exchange. She realizes how much some of her patrons appreciate her services and iv her _». pi.1 "1 fnr WEDDING Iia e«mtt any other person Vcharge for the same service. She makes a very good living out of this rather arduous work and her tdme is much occupied. It is a familiar saying that persons who are most occupied by social duties are most punctilious in discharging them promptly. This shows itself strikinglj* in a custom that developed first this season. It is now considered the smartest usage by persons who devote thought to such matters to leave cards the day after a large or elaborate entertain ment. It is not expected, of course, that the hostess will be seen. That is now the least part of a call. But it is good form to leave cards the day after. NO STRAPS IN BERLIN CARS. When All the Seata Are Filled JTo Paa sender In Permitted to En ter the Car. There is no hanging on to straps in the street cars of Berlin., even in the rush hours. The police regulations for bid the carrying of a larger number of passengers in a car than is authorized, arid that number, which is posted con spicuously in every car, 1st the same as the number of seats, plus a few per mitted to be carried on the front and rear platforms, usually six persons on the two platforms, says the New York Sun. When all the seats are filled no pas. senger is permitted to enter the car. Standing in aisles or holding on to straps is not permitted. Similarly on -the platforms when six passengers have found places there. "This regulation," says Consul Gen eral Mason, "oftetf separates a man and his wife, who are not allowed to return home by the same car, but it has the effect that there is no over crowding and standing on each other's feet. The conductor and motorman are instructed to enforce the regular tion and they do it without fear or favor. The conductor is, in this coun try, clothed with the authority of a policeman on board his car, and can put off any passenger who misbehaves. This is probably the meat of the whole matter. The conductor is a municipal officer within the prescribed limits of his duty." Bleep and Physical Soundness. To sleep at any moment is undoubt edly a sign of physical soundness and Philistine sanity, especially in the mat ter of the brain and its functions, say* the Medical Press. A physician would have little anxiety about the general condition of a patient who could sleep it will on a railway journey. In these days of hurry and bustle there could' be no more encouraging sight to the philosopher than a railway carriage at noonday full of sleepy passengers. Ve*e|able Panacea.

A wedding invitation is practically an admission ticket, costing $20, to the (church service reception at the house afterward, ebctra cards to the at home, more extra, says the Insurance Press. When a man get* an invitation now adays he feels as he does when he has been served with a subpoena. He sput ters about the idiocy of marriage in general, and wonders why in thunder, or somewhere else where thunder is Unknown, those little fools didn't just stand up and get parried and get it over with. Then when he calms down' ae is inveigled into making an appoint ment with his wife at some jeweler's. There he is met with a bewildering ar- ray iiv^i ovi Titca auu prices are high—much higher than flnr nfhpr nArcnnVpTiarfM of silver trowels, meat saws, and miniature pitchforks, which his learned wife explains to him are fish knives, lettuce servers, and berry forks, respectively. Then, as his eyes wander about the store, he spies a golden ball, perforated? with fancy holes, and he ventures the facetious remark to his-wife that they1 might take time by the forelock and send that baby's rattle. Which is met by the chilling rejoinder that "that" is a tea ball, and it is just the very thing. And so the man hands over the, neces sary and his wife directs where the golden tea. ball shall be sent. The feelings of a strong, healthy man being required to attach his card to a dinky vtea Nearly every living thing has a local habitation and abiding place which it regards as its home. Even frogs have an attachment for particular places, in which to spend their leisure hours. About three years ago a Pennsylvania farmer named Anderson found a large (frog in front of the spring house, and' when the milkmaid opened the door to put her .pail of milk in the spring the frog hopped in behind her. "Goodness!" 6aid the maid, "but you're a big fellow." It was a bi^jf fellow. From his nose to the ends of his extended legs the frog measured 15 inches. It hopped out of reach of the girl's hand and par tially buried itself in a bed of clay in the darkest corner of the spring house. 'There, in a stupor, neither eating nor drinking, it remained until the spring. Then it departed. Each autumn since then the frog has appeared at the first sign of frost and made his winter bed in the spring house. This year he came as usual. But the farmer desired to make an ex periment on him. 'He was-awakened, lifted from his warm clay nest, placed in a wagon and carried to a place mile down the road. There he was left. Before evening he was back again £he milkmaid found him at sunset seated before the spring house door waiting patiently to be let in. HANDY JOBS F0R~MAIMED. tfhouehtful Corporation at Elm Ira, If, Y., Provides for Injured Employes. "Up in my city," said ex-Senator J. Sloat Fassett, of Elmira, to a New York Times writer, "we have a corpo ration more thoughtful of its employes than are most corporations. Fre quently one of them gets a haaid or an arm taken off, but instead of casting the men so maimed adrift the corpora tion provides places for them whero men with but one hand can work satis factorily. The one-ermed men soon learn to profit to a certain extent by their misfortune. The men with right hands pair off with the men with left h%nds and in that .way one pair of gloves, mittens, cuffs and such things does for both. "But more practicable even than that is the sight of two such men at the theater. A man with a right hand left sits next to a mam with a left hand also left and when anything pleases them they turn instinctively toward each other, clap their remaining hands together and contribute mor^ than would seem possible to the applause." Eatln* Glass. "How much glass do you suppose that yon consume daily?" a "Philadel phia physician asked of one1 of- his patients the other day, and then went on, in response to other's interroga tive look: "It is a fact that we all swallow each day more or less glass, the manufacturers not having yet reached the point where their product is impervious to the action of fluid*. He who drinks beer consumes the most glass. A chemical analysis of any boitied beer inevitably ftvaals some of the glass' constituents. But the water drinker, too, stvullows his share. In a carafe or in a glass pitcher have you ever noticed the odd line whibh marks the level that the water has had? Well, that line shows how the water has changed the appearance of the glass'slightly by absorbing some of its components^ And so every day, when we drink beer* or water or milk, we consume a littler .glass. Bnt it does no harm. I have yeti to hear of any disease that it-has ever caused.**) Harrlasr* e( feereawM. In the course of a paper read: at jan insurance meeting in Edinburgh, Mr. M. M.
