Public Manners.
! There are few persons who earn
work their way through a crowd, er
ean even walk on the busy shopping
streets of large American towns and
Attlee, without, occasionally losing
their temper, or, et any rate, feeling
considerable irritation. The reason la
net so much ths crowd itself and the
consequent slowness of progress, al
though that may be annoying; it la tha
manners of the crowd, the constantly
repeated incidents of rudeness and
selfishness. You are hurrying along,
intent on your buainebs, but neverthe
less carefully keeping on your own
side of the walk, when the man imme
diately in front of you cuts diagonally
across, without stopping to see how
near you are to his heels. You stumble,
and he turns his head long enough to
iscowl. Or perhaps It is a woman who
■trails heedlessly along with her skirt
dragging where you can hardly avoid
atepptng on it and her umbrella search
ing with preternatural intelligence for
your eyeball. Possibly, however, It is
at a stamp window, or the tick
et office, where you meet
your particular boor. It is. Indeed, ex
asperating, says the Youth’s Compan
ion, when you have waited patiently
for your turn, and are about to he
served, to have a fat woman, or a
man with a loud and raucous voice,
push in ahead of you, and shout, “Two
tickets for Pusbtown, and be quick
about It!” No wonder that hunting
the wild boar is considered good
sport. After all, most of these
breaches of manners are thoughtless
rather than intentional. Too great an
absorption in oneself and one's own in
terests is the reason for them. All
good manners spring from a recogni
tion of the other man’s personality and
his rights and privileges, and nearly
all bad manners from a disregard of
them. A crowd is the place, not to
forget oneself, but to remember; and,
above all, to remember that without
you the crowd would not be complete;
that you are responsible for the be
havior of one small part of it.
i The Idea! Minister.
As the touch of genius lifts the
master above the mere musician, so
this sense of the Unseen lifts the ideal
minister above the mere preacher of
sermons. It is the investiture of a
priesthood verified net by tradition,
but by experience. It is immediacy of
access to the eternal fountains of sal
vation. He lives among men as one of
them, simple, unselfish, human, hope
ful ; yet they know that he walks with
God.
"And by the vision splendid
Is on his way attended."
He is a scholar, but criticism has
never violated that shrine of the Spirit
where the pure In heart see God. The
unfading newness of everlasting truth
gives to his speech the freshness of
springtime, continues C. C. Hall in At
lantic. The unsearchable mystery of
Infinite Holiness gives to his thought
and conduct gravity and reserve, as
one who has beheld things which it is
Bot possible for a man to utter. The
demands of social service have not
stamped him with the professionalism
ef a reformer. The ardor of churcb
manship has not mads him an ecclesi
astic. He remains a prophet of the
Highest When he speaks, men feel
that he is standing on holy ground.
When he prays, men perceive that he
is prostrating himself befors the Risen
Christ.
Another famous old American vessel
Is to be sent to the Junk-heap. The
newest battleship is to be named New
York. Sampson’s flagship, the old New
York, is to be renamed Saratoga, and
the old Saratoga, now the schoolship
of Pennsylvania, Is to be no more. It
was built in 1842, and its first service
was in the suppression of the West
Africa slave trade. In the Mexican
war its commander was Farragut. It
was part of the south Atlantic squad
ron in the second half of the civil war,
and then went out of active service.
When we consider how nearly ob
solete is the old New York, which
seemed so modern in the Spanish war,
it is a wonder that the old Saratoga
has survived all these years, and is
only now condemned to destruction.

MUCH TRAVELING DONE BY
MEMBERS OF THE CABINET
WASHINGTON—During the sum
mer months just closed the nine
members of President Roosevelt’s cab
inet have spent more than 600 days
away from their desks, and their va
cation journeyings and business trips
have covered thousands of miles over
land and sea.
Of the nine, Secretary of War Taft
is the greatest traveler. Already he
has been away from his department
more than 80 days, and, as he now is
on his way around the world, he has
traveled, including his vacation jour
neying and his official trip of the
orient, something like 10,000 miles,
with much more yet to come.
Next to Secretary Taft, Secretary of
State Root remained from the capital
longer than any other official, and,,in
cluding his trip to Mexico, he will
have been away so long that It will be
hopeless for any other cabinet officer
to attempt to equal his record.
Until Secretary Taft returns. Secre
tary Straus will hold the palm for
SECRETARY WILSON is another
of the cabinet to have put in
some strenuous traveling while in
specting conditions in his department
in the west. He looked into the big
timber reserves, and Secretary Gar
field investigated while absent the
public lands, Indian questions, etc.,
forming an important part of the work
of the interior department. He spent
only two weeks’ actual vacation at
his home in Ohio.
The vacations of the other cabinet
officers were entirely for recuperative
purposes. Secretary of the Treasury
Cortelyou spent the summer on his
farm on Long Island, near the presi
dent’s home at Oyster Bay, and only
an hour's ride from New York. Hence
he was able to keep in close touch
with the financial situation, and his
actual presence here was not essen
tial.
Secretary of the Navy Metcalf went
to California, his home state, and
STATESMEN TAKE UP THE
ROLLER SKATING IDEA
Assistant chief clerk Thom

having postal employes skate to work,
undertook to demonstrate the other

fused and concussed. In rounding a
curve on Pennsylvania avenue he hit
a “thank you, marm,” and smote the
asphalt with his nose. During the aft
ernoon he was disposed to bark at
folks who came in to ask him ques
tions about the roller skate procession.
His ideas, however, will be taken up
In higher circles. A well defined
movement among leading statesmen is
said to be under way for having sena
tors and representatives skate to the
capitol when the session begins. A
large number of them have been de
sirous of skating to work for a long
time, but each has hang back for fear
of being though? singular. Now a
considerable number have agreed to
start the skating movement simultane
ously, and a general movement on the

THE loss to the government pension
roll, during the fiscal year 1907,
by the death of civil war veterans,
was 31,207, leaving the names of 644,
338 survivors of that war on the roll
June 30, 1907. During the year 1,993
more soldiers of the civil war died
than during the preceding year.
The total number of pensions on the
roll at the end of the fiscal year just
ended was 967,371. The net loss to
the roll for the year was 18,600, which
was the greatest net loss for any year
since Uncle Sam began to pension his
soldiers. The present fiscal year be
gan with the smallest number of pen-y
sioners remaining on the roll since
1893.
The amount disbursed for pensions
during the year was $138,155,412.46.
This money was paid to the pension
ers from 18 agencies throughout the
country, the largest amount being
paid from the agency at Topeka, Kan.,
which includes Colorado, Kansas, Mis
souri, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and
New Mexico. The amount paid from
Topeka was $15,807,638.24, and the
number of pensioners on the roil at
that agency was 111,508, or 2,089 less
than June 30, 1906. Missouri, at the
end of the year had 49,335 pensioners,
who received $6,990,729.74.
These figures and facts are con
tained in the annual report of Pension
Commissioner Warner. The report
shows that the pension roll reached
the high-water mark January 30,1905.
An analysis of the pension roll on
June 30, 1907, shows the interesting
fact that there were,ait thattime three
daughters of soldiers of tfie revolution
ary war still drawing pensions.

long over-seas journeying. Leaving
Washington on June 29. he went first,
to Montreal, on one of the longest in
spection tours ever undertaken by a
cabinet officer. He visited immigra
tion stations along the Canadian line
from Montreal to Winnipeg and Van
couver, going thence to Seattle and
San Francisco and sailing from that
port on July 25 for Honolulu, where he
arrived on July 31. On his return he
visited the Yellowstone National park,
but this part of the trip was entirely
one of pleasure, and was at the secre
tary’s personal expense.
On this trip he was accompanied by
his wife, son, daughter and private sec
retary, only Secretary Straus’ own ex
penses, of course, being borne by the
government. It is estimated at the
department of commerce and labor
that Secretary Straus’ trip cost the
government not more than $1,800
And it is claimed for it that it was of
immense business benefit to the de
i partment.
SOME MEMBERS ABSENT ON
GOVERMENT BUSINESS
spent his entire vacation tramping
through the mountains around Sacra
mento hunting small game, while Sec
retary Root, in addition to spending
some time at his home in New York,
took the now famous cure for several
weeks at Muldoon's.
During his absence from Washing
ton Postmaster General Meyer, with
the exception of about ten days, when
he was fishing in Canada, kept in close
| touch with the postal affairs in Wash
ington, and Secretary Taft, while he
was at Murray Bay, Canada, also
found time to keep up with the more
important matters requiring action by
the head of the war department.
Attorney General Bonaparte, in ad
dition to spending about a month at
Lenox, was absent at different times
during the summer at his home, near
Baltimore, but he was at Washington
every few days attending to important
legal business of the government, so
that it is hard to classify him.
Speaker Cannon has been enlisted
in the movement and promises to
skate all thelway down the avenue on
the opening day, with John Sharp
Williams, the minority leader. Mr.
Williams and Mr. Cannon have been
practicing holding each other’s hands,
and while this has been a little diffi
cult because of Mr. Cannon's greater
speed, they have now got so that they
can keep step fairly well. Mr. Wil- |
liams will go to the speaker's house !
on the opening day and make the start 1
with him.
Senator Bailey at first held aloof on
the ground that it would not look dig- j
nified to skate in a frock coat, and l
that he declines to remove that gar- j
ment for any consideration. His
friends, however, have put forth such I
strong arguments that in a letter re- !
ceived here the other day Mr. Bailey j
promises to skate, frock coat and all, j

PENSION ROLL OF THE
GOVERNMENT ON DECLINE
The names of 558 widows of the
war of 1812 remained on the roll at
the close of the last fiscal year.
If there were no deaths during the
present fiscal year it would require
$140,850,880 to pay Uncle Sam's pen
sioners. The average annual value of \
each pension is $145.60, this being an j
increase of $7.42 over last year.

Sightseers in New Zealand.
One of the numerous activities of
the New Zealand government Is- a
"state tourists' department.” The re
port for the year ended June 30 an
i nounces that 9,684 sightseers were '
hustled around the beauty spots of the
colony, as against 7,142 during the
previous year. They left about $600,
000 behind them. The branch offices
of the department in Sydney and Mel
bourne have proved so successful that
others are to be started . elsewhere
Moreover, a new officer is to be at
tached to the high commissioner’s
staff in London, and he will specialize
on bringing New Zealand’s attractive

notice of the traveling public of Great
Britain and Ireland.

I HIS FLOWER GIRL I
By Georgia Custis 1
(Copyright.)
When Mr. Perris Archer was ush
ered by as obsequious butler into the
luxurious library of Judge Van Nos
trand on a certain cold evening late
in November, and sank into a comfort
able easy-chair before a bright Are of
soft coal, it was with a feeling of
complete and entire satisfaction.
He had, in short, for months been
living in a sort of Fool’s Paradise, and
he was at this moment awaiting the
coming of the woman he loved. A
bold and skillful painter of brilliant
landscapes Archer was, and, with
hosts of friends among the loveliest
and most brilliant women in the town,
he chose to lay the tribute of his love
at the feet of the quietest . and least
dazzling of them all.
Helen Van Nostrand was not “a
man’s woman;” she had many friends,
but they were chiefly among those of
her own sex; and in spite of her
wealth and position and the charming
and gracious hospitality which she
dispensed as head of her father's
household (for her mother had died
when she was a very young girl), in
spite also of a certain quiet charm of
manner which even birth and breed
ing do not always bestow, Miss Van
Nostrand had the reputation of being
rather cold and reserved, and there
were even those who rather feared to
meet the severe directness of her hon
est gray eyes. Yet there were others,
and Archer was one of these, who
knew that under the rather cold ex
terior there beat a warm, impulsive,
woman’s heart.
Absolutely free from coquetry, Miss
Van Nostrand had never betrayed for
Archer the slightest feeling beyond
the frankest confidence and good will;
they were the best of friends, which
was just what rendered the situation
most hopeless.
Moreover, Archer was proud. Far
too proud to ask the daughter of
Judge Van Nostrand to cast in her lot
with a vagabond artist like himself.
And so he drifted on, trying to be con
tent with the half sovereignty of a
kingdom upon whose throne he could
never hope to sit; and at least his se
cret was his own.
He was kept waiting for her coming
rather longer than usual on this par
ticular evening, and he had fallen into
a reverie from which he was aroused
by a little ripple of a laugh which
made him spring to his feet. It was
good to hear Helen Van Nostrand's
laugh.
“Ah!” 6he said; “I was wording an
apology for keeping you waiting while
I was finishing the copying of father’s
speech for the great meeting to-mor
row night—and here I come upon you
so absorbed in thoughts of somebody
else that you do not even hear me
enter the room.”
She was tall for a woman, yet she
was obliged to throw back her head a
little to reach the higher level of his
eyes.
She dropped her own presently,
blushing a little at the expression in
his, which had in it something more
than his usual attentiveness, and she
gently disengaged the hand which he
had held while she was speaking.
With the other hand she lightly
touched a bunch of double violets, the
only spot of color about her dress of
soft gray. “You see,” she said, "I
have your violets, and you must be
prepared for a little lecture on ex-'
travagance; flowers are not to be had
at this season just for the plucking,
nor should my selfish passion for them
be indulged in so often.”
“But,” said Archer, smiling as he
drew up a chair for her beside his
own, “what if I could prove, that
aside from the quite immeasurable
pleasure which I receive in sending
you the flowers, you are also indirect
ly helping somebody who could per
haps be helped in no other way?”
Helen -raised questioning eyes. “I
fear I do not understand,” she said,
shaking her head. “If you mean the
florist or the person who grows the
violets—”
“Right as usual,” cried Archer;
“but how did you guess the secret of
my pretty flower maiden?” Another
question in the gray eyes. “I have
wanted to tell you about her before,”
Archer went on, and he paused a mo
ment and smiled thoughtfully, as
though he were conjuring up a pleas
ant vision, Helen thought.
“You see,” he went on, “I have al
ways known your fondness for vio
lets, and I always procured those I
sent you at one particular place. One
day, a few months ago, I went in and
found the proprietor (a very good
sort of a fellow, by the way) talking
to a pretty young woman, whom I
recognized at once as the daughter of
an old friend of my father’s whom I
had not seen for years; she remem
bered me, strangely enough, and I
walked home with her, talking over all
that had happened since we parted.
Hers was a sad story, poor child; her
father had embezzled and then died,
leaving his wife (a chronic invalid)
and his young daughter to struggle on
as best they could. They had a small
house, the only thing left from the
wreck, with a large, old fashioned gar
den in the rear. I remember as a boy
how fond Amy was of digging and
planting there; she could always make
anything grow, and it occurred to her
that she might raise flowers for the
market. She had arranged with
Mather ft Grau, it seems, to send all
her violets to them, and they send
them directly to you; she does not
suspect me, of course, and so you see
we are really rendering her the assist
ance which she so much needs, with
out in any way wounding her pride."
Helen had been watching Archer
attentively as he talked, biting off
little pieces from a violet with her
white teeth. “Is she pretty?” she
asked suddenly.
“Yes, and more than that,” said
Archer. “She has the most unusual
and delicate' coloring, and a pretty
trick of drooping her head, which al
ways reminds me of a flower.”
. , ■_ .. ,7
I should like to see this dainty !
beauty," said Helen, but somehow her
voice lacked its usual cordiality.
Archer did not notice it.
"Would you, really?” he said eager
ly. "Do you mean that you would go
and see the poor little thing? She
has no friends, you know; that is, no
women-friends, and ever since I have
discovered how sad and lonely her
life is I have wished that she could
know you.”
Helen paused a moment before re
plying.
“Certainly I will go and see your
friend,” she said, speaking in spite of
herself a little coldly. “I do not quite
see, however, how I could help her,
since of course she would not ac
cept—”
“Oh, no! not that,” said Archer
quickly. “But you see I have told her
about you, so that you* would not be
quite strangers, and your interest,
“Certainly I Will Go and See Your
Friend,” She Said.
your sympathy would do for her”—
he would have added, “what they have
done for me,” but something in her
manner made him pause, and theD
they drifted on to talk of other things,
but there was a subtle change to her
manner which Archer’s quick sen
sitiveness did not fail to note, and
much earlier than usual he rose to go.
She held out her hand with her usual
graciousness at parting, and when
Archer had reached the hall he re
membered that after all he had failed
to give her the address of the young
grower of violets.
As he reentered the room, he stood
for a moment in the doorway waiting
for Helen to turn her head, and think
ing to surprise her as she had done
earlier in the evening. And then Miss
Van Nostrand did a strange thing; she
was standing where he had left her be
fore the mantel, and presently she un
pinned the violets from her dress, held
them for a moment in her hand as
though irresolute, and then, stooping,
she laid the flowers deliberately on
the glowing coals. And then she
turned and saw Archer watching hex
in astonished silence; with a little cry
she instinctively clasped her hands
over the place where the flowers had
been fastened on her dress. A great
wave of color had swept all over her
face, but Archer was very pale as his
quick glance traveled from the little
clasped hands to the flowers smoul
dering in the fire. Presently he came
close to her and tried to read her
eyes, veiled beneath impenetrable lids.
“Helen,” he said hoarsely, “you do not
care for the violets—is it—because I
sent them that you scorn them thus?”
And then, as she did not reply, he
went on, “I knew you did not care for
me,” he said, “but oh, Helen! it is
cruel to learn it in this way!”
She could not endure the agonized
entreaty of his voice, and she raised
her eyes, full of a penitence, whose
full meaning he did not dare to un
derstand.
“Oh, Ferris,” she faltered. “Can you
not see? I thought you loved her—
your flower girl—and so—”
But she did not finish her sentence.
Archer had seized both her hands and
was laughing in a perfect delirium of
joy. “You thought I loved Amy!” he
cried. “Oh, Helen, how could you be
so blind! And besides, I forgot to tell
you she is going to be married to Mr.
Grau, the rich florist, in the spring.
But, Helen!”—he had drawn her so
close that he could whisper the words
in her ear—“she shall fonee her
choicest violets to bloom for our wed
ding. shall she not?”
And Helen threw back her head
with a happy little laugh. “Violets
are the only flowers I shall ever wear ”
she said.

The Open Door.
Remember that the door is open so
while you stay do not complain.-Epic
tetus.
The door stands open beckoning thee
Beyond the lintel to the Main:
Thy feet unshackled are; thou’rt free
To go or stay as pleaseth thee—
Stay then; but not complain!
Thou mayst not view beyond the Main
A mist hangs darkly o’er the sea.
Thou mayst go forth, but not again .
Return; but prithee not complain
Shouldst thou abide—the path is free!
Then go or stay, but cheerful be
If so thou choosest to remain;
The Door stands open to the Sea—
The far horizon beckons thee.
Wide as the skies the mystery—
Choose thou, but not complain!

STEAK AND PIGEON PIE.
Two Birds with Meat Will Maks Plen- j
tiful Dish.
Cut a pound of beefsteak up into
small pieces, which should be nearly
square; season each with pepper and
salt, roll up and dust lightly with flour.
Rub a deep dish well with a freshly
cut onion and place the rolls of meat
In it; sprinkle over them some chop
ped parsley and a little finely minced
pork; pour in sufficient weak stock or
water to cover the meat, cover close
ly, and cook in a moderate oven one '
hour. Take two pigeons which have
been prepared for cooking in the usual
way and well washed and dried, and
cut up into neat pieces; remove the
skin and flour them and put them into
'a frying pan with some melted drip
pings, a teaspoon of minced onion, the
same quantity of minced parsley, and
let them fry nicely browned, turning
them frequently; then place them on
paper to drain. When the steak is
ready, arrange it and the pieces of
pigeon in layers in a deep dish with
some slices of hard boiled egg. Strain
the gravy in which the steak was
cooked into a saucepan and add a
small quantity of soaked gelatin to
it (in the proportion of a quarter of
an ounce to a pint of liquid); stir
until the gelatin is dissolved, then add
a little grated nutmeg, cayenne, and
salt; pour the gravy over the meat in
the dish and leave it until cold; then
cover with rich paste, brush it over
with beaten egg, and bake in a mod
erately hot oven.
WHEN CALLERS DROP IN.
Almond Wafers Are Delicious to Have
in Readiness.
Beat to a cream a quarter cup but
ter, then rub in one-half cupful pow
dered sugar. Add drop by drop a
quarter cupful milk, then, gradually,
seven-eighths’ cup sifted flour. Flavor
with a half teaspoonful vanila or
pistache, and spread very thinly over
the bottom of an inverted dripping
pan and cut in three-inch squares.
Sprinkle with chopped blanched al
monds and brown delicately in a very
slow oven. Take from the oven, turn
the squares over one by one with a !
knife, and roll loosely. Tate up and
spread on a waxed paper to cool and
dry. If the squares harden before
you get them all rolled, place over '
the fire a minute to soften. Serve
with cocoa, afternoon tea, ice cream
or preserves.
The Attic Room.
In cities the attic room is given as
much attention as any part of the
house. A clever arrangement of such
a room is to paper it all in white and
make a fancy border near the ceiling
outlined with a fancy wide paper. The
hunting scene is pretty if matched
with some red rug on the floor. Have
the furniture all white, the bed and
dresser trimmed in white and dotted
white curtains at the windows. It can
be made very attractive with neat
furnishings and decidedly unattractive
if not nicely papered or filled with
refuse furniture from other rooms.

Olive Oil on Bruises.
In the treatment of bruises, where
there is extensive discoloration of
the skin, if olive oil be applied freely
without rubbing, the discoloration
quickly will disappear. Absorbent
cotton may be soaked in the oil and
applied. If the skin is broken a little
boric acid should be applied over
the abrasion. A black eye thus treat
ed can be rendered normal in a few
hours, especially if the oil be applied
warm.
To Sew on Buttons.
When buttonholes on a shirt waist
are finished, sew on upper and lower '
button. Then button and see that
the buttonhole hem evenly overlaps
the button hem. Lay waist on table;
insert a strip of cardboard the length
of the waist underneath both hems,
and with a tracing wheel gently press
into each buttonhole. Unbutton waist
and you have a faint mark where each
button is to be sewed without measur
ing for each one separately.
Grated Corn Fritters.
Use one pint of grated sweet corn
and half cup of milk, one-half cup
of flour, one tablespoonful of melted
butter, two eggs, a little salt and pep
per, one teaspoonful of baking powder.
Mix the milk and well beaten eggs to
gether, add the melted butter and sea
soning, then the flour and baking pow
der sifted together. Lastly stir in the
gratPd corn. Drop by the tablespoon
ful in hot fat. Drain on brown paper
and serve hot. v
Baked Hash.
One pint of chopped ham, one pint
of chopped raw potatoes, half pint of
gravy or water, one tablespoonful of
butter melted, salt and pepper to
taste. Mix all these ingredients to
gether, turn into a mold, cover with
bread crumbs and tiny bits of butter
and bake in a moderate over for about
an hour.
Darn Carpet with Raveiings.
For mending thin places in rugs and
carpets, use some of the raveiings
from the carpet, which should be
saved for the purpose. Darn the thin
places and three-cornered tears where
they cannot be detected. The fringe
and tassels of rugs and portieres can
be darned and fastened in the same
