Most men appreciate affection, and are disappointed when they fail to find it demonstrated in their wives. They appreciate it in equal degree with the wife who likes to be assured that her husband's every thought is for her happiness. A man is not only called upon to sacrifice many of his bachelor enjoyments when he be comes engaged, but when he is mar ried he has still other trifles to fore go, says the New York Weekly. It is for the pleasure and joy of having a ! wife and home of his own that Be is more than proud of hi- partnership. Everything works so smoothly that he is happy, very happy; and still there comes to him a special thrill of sweet ness when his wife puis her arm around his neck and whispers in his ear that she loves him—loves him very much. No girl c i! i await the ; adoration of her lover with greater i Joy than a man does the tenderness j showered upon him by a loving wife. But just as some men grow lax in j their attentions to their young wives, | so do too many young wives forget to keep ever burning the furnace af their loves upon the dornes’ic rearth. i The progress of th<- enormous new system of water works of New York j city has made necessary ’he creation i of a large new aqueduct police force, for the patrol and protection of the watershed. The chief of the force is a popular college graduate and society man. The news of his appointment brought applications to take the civil service examinations from 1100 college men, who are attracted by what they regard as a vacation in the beautiful ^scenery of tije Catskills, with $100 a ; month as gratuity. The physical ex- I aminer of the civil service commission pronounced the candidates the finest body of men, physically, he had ever examined, and the young men came away from the mental tests grinning, and declaring that they were “easy.” The aqueduct force ought to be able to rob the city police of its title of “the finest.” The Pathos of Fate. The imperial glory' that once wa.s Spain's long since passed from her, and it is reported that pathetic and tragic admission of the fact is to be made in Madrid by dismantling the Pantheon of the Spanish colonies and dispersion of Us valuable collections ! among the libraries and museums of the city, says the Boston Herald. The site is needed for other purposes; the fact political which the building sym bolized no longer exists; and the sooner present and future genera tions are rid of a reminder of past 1 national waste and maladministra tion, the better. Thus the argument runs. Greece, Rome, Carthage, Spain and Holland, each have had their day of empire on the sea. Will London ever witness such a scene as Madrid is to see? And Berlin after London? Defective designing was the causa of the collapse of the cantilever bridge across the St. Lawrence river at Que bec several months ago, according to the report of the royal commission ap pointed to make an investigation. The designer used the standard formulas in computing the strains, but in the opinion of the commission ho should have modified them, as the bridge was larger than any that had hitherto been attempted on the cantilever principle. It Is easy to say this now, for all en gineers know more about the subject than before the falling bridge demon strated that the old formulas were Incorrect. But it Is important to fu ture bridge-builders, as well as to the public, that an adequate explanation of the Quebec accident has been found. The English advocates of womans suffrage have made their demands a real political issue. A resolution in their favor was recently adopted by the convention of English Liberals. Their bill was read a first time in the house, practically without opposition, though it will go no further. Press dispatches tell of a really worried London police, assert that the cabinet ministers never know what will hap pen to them next, and aver that Mr. Asquith never leaves home save in the company of two detectives. Even he has capitulated to the extent of re ceiving a deputation of the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies and admitted that their case was pre sented "with unusual precision and persuasiveness.” .« It Is the same old story. North, south, east and west the farmers are short of help. If the men looking for work would add to their applications “No objection to going in the coun try” they would probably have choice of any number of jobs. The fact that New York has a par rot that swears in six languages Is being rather widely advertised. It is certainly Queer how very fond New York can be of its various forms of wickedness. A Connecticut man dropped dead after hearing news that he had fallen heir to *50,000. Evidently this man couldn't stand prosperity. The Seven Stars hotel, at Village Green, Pa., has been a public house for 15 years. It was the headquarters of Gen. Cornwallis in 1777. The Stolitchnala Potchta Estovarlscli has been suppressed in St Petersburg. A11 at once, too. It seems impossible. PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT WINS LAETARE MEDAL Dr. James Charles Monaghan, well known as a lecturer In Catholic circles, has been chosen as the recipient for 1908 of the Laetare medal, award ed annually by Notre Dame university to some prominent Roman Catholic layman as a mark of honor. Dr. Monaghan was born in Boston In 1857. He acted as consul to Mannheim. Germany, from 1885 to 1889, and as consul to Chemnitz from 1893 to 1897. In 1899 he was delegate to the world’s commercial congress and in 1903 editor of the reports of the bureau of foreign commerce in the department of commerce and labor. * As an educator Dr. Monaghan has been in structor at both Wisconsin and Notre Dame From September to December. 3907. he was dean of the course of history and economics at the latter institution, having to abandon the iiosition to the disappointment of both students and faculty in order to fili engagements on the lecture platform. Dr. Monaghan was graduated from Drown university, and upon his return to the T'nited States in 1K*U took up the study of law and newspaper work. At present he is engaged or. a lecture tour throughout the United States. The history of the Lac-tare medal dates hack to l&Sg. when it was con ferred upon John Gilruar.v Sh< a The medal is of gold and the bar from which the disk is suspended is lettered "Laetare medal.” the face of the disk bear ing the inscription in Latin, Truth is mighty ami shall prevail.” The reverse side hears the name of the university and the recipient. The medal tak-s its name from the Sunday upon which its recipient is announced—Laetu Sun day. The particular Sunday was chosen because on that dav for the last six centuries the popes have conferred a golden rose upon one who La- i>er forined marked service to religion and humanity. It is probable that the bestowal will take place at Notre Dame May 17, upon which day it is hoped to hold a reunion of all the living Laetare medal ists here. Others to whom the medal has been awarded are Attorney General Bonaparte. Bourke Cockran and Gen. William Kosecrans. BRITAIN’S NEW PREMIER The Right Honorable H. H. Asquith, the new British premier, appointed to succeed Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, who resigned on account of ill health, was born in Yorkshire of a non conformist family. His father died when the fut ure premier was only six years o!d, and the boy's life was guided by his mother, a strict Puritan. His first schooling was received at the Moravian school at Fulneek, where the home in fluences were reinforced by the religious atmos phere of the Moravian community. Leaving Ful neck, young Asquith went to the City of Lon don school, where he was a brilliant pupil. Then he went up to Oxfotd and won the Balliol scholar ship. At Balliol he fell under the influence of Jewett The late master of Balliol had many distinguished pupils, but none among all of those who looked up to him with reverence and affection were more absolutely under his influence than Henry Asquith. When he left collet;' he went"straight into the practice of law and began to win recognition in the world. His first political victory was scored in 18m;, when he was elected to the commons from East Fife. It was only six years after his entrance Into political life when Mr. Asquith was selected as a cabinet officer, he becoming home secretary in Ik&li. He retained this position until lkS*5, when the fall of Lord Kosebery's government brought about his resignation. With the rise of Campbell-Bannerman to the leadership of the liberals, Asquith became chief lieutenant. He did not seek this advancement, and, in fact, was called cold-blooded by some of his followers because he did not attempt to push himself over the head of C.-B." Later Asquith was made chancellor of the exchequer, which office he had administered well. MISSED SENATORIAL TOGA Congressman Asbury Francis I-ever of Lex ington, S. C., who was mentioned as a possible successor to the late Senator Latimer, but failed to land, is now serving his fourth term in the lower house, lie is so prominent in working for the Appalachian forest reserve and in other mat ters that he is no longer mistaken for one of the floor messengers. In his first term his boyish and unaffected look and his small, wiry figure made many of his colleagues take him for a page. He was asked by them to "take these papers to the desk.” He took the treatment with great humor and the embarrassment was all with the others when they found they had asked a fellow member of congress to wait on them. Mr. Lever is descended from the South Carte lina Germans of early days, a sterling population which inhabited the central counties of the state. The ancestral name was Lie ber. The given names and surnames of the South Carolina delegation show plainly how the state has large German and Irish-American elements and also plenty of Methodists in faith. For both the late senator and Mr. Lever bear the name of [lishop Asbury. Like very few who ever reach congressional honors, Mr. Lever was nom inated and elected before he had reached the age of 25. He taught school until Congressman J. William Stokes, the Farmers' Alliance worker, selected him as his private secretary. He entered into sympathy with the farmers' ideals in legislation, and in 1900 he waH elected a member of the legislature, though still serving Mr. Stokes as secretary. When his chief died the pri vate secretary naturally succeeded him. He was re-elected over six opponents and has been twice re-elected since. Lord Esher, to whom Kaiser Wilhelm re ferrad so contemptuously in his private letter to Lord Tweedmouth, the letter that raised a hornet nest about the ears of the British govern ment, is a person of considerable ability, lie is not by any means a politician; far from it; he was pressed to enter the cabinet as secretary of war, but refused in order that he might, be left free to effect a thorough sanitary reform of Windsor castle, of which he was deputy governor. It is to this the kaiser referred when he said that Esher should stick to drain pipes and keep his hands off the navy. If Lord Esher had had political ambitions he might have been prime minister to-day, for he has considerable tact and great, family influence in addition to his peculiar abilities. But he Is absolutely without political aspirations, as be Is without a party, for neither side is quite sure of him. If he were to accept a portfolio he would have to identify himselr ac tively with the party in power, and this is probably the reason why he re fuses. He prefers to be able to retire when he chooses to his charming house in Windsor forest, as he did when Gladstone passed his Irish home rule bill in the commons. To show his displeasure Esher gave up what little connection he had with politics and spent the next few years surrounded by his books, his flowers and his family, breeding a few race horses and enter taining friends. It is with difficulty he was indticed to give up this ideal ex istence and return to hard work in London. He was one of the commission of three to reorganize the British army, which had broken down in the Boer war. He was also appointed on the commission to reorganize the war depart ment, and this is where he began to lay his hands on the navy, to the disgust of the kaiser, who probably does not know what a very useful man Esher is in his tiwn peculiar way. Lord Esher, too, was entrusted with the task of arranging the papers of the late Queen Victoria, a task of considerable delicacy. Womens’ Publication a Success. The club women of San Antonio, Tex., were the writers, editors, pub lishers and sellers of the Passing Show for February 22. They enlarged that special edition and made a very creditable showing in t|ie editorial and news columns as well as in the size and number of the advertisements. The leading editorial took the form of a proclamation issued by the- Wom an's club and iriiorsed by the city ad ministration, tl>3 health department and the Business Men's club appoint ing March 10 as "cleaning day for the city.” The money made on the inane went to the juvenile training school fund, and the club women are being congratulated for the financial success of their undertaking. Dr. John Elliot, the ethical culture worker of New York, considers it a sad state of affairs that half the chil dren of the schools are not spanked nowadays, no good substitutes being offered. Self-government he thinks a good substitute, If it can be taught. Justice rather than sentiment makes for good citizenship, he declares. VESSELMEN or GREAT INLAND SEAS PREPARE FOR BUSY SEASOX WHERE MANUAL LABOR. IS INVOLVED H/G/f UP ON T/fJP RAIL 'TUrTY WORK When the gentle breath of spring whispers of the warm embrace of fair summer, there is a stir among the great army of vesselmen of the great lakes, for they know that they must be bestirring themselves for the busy sea. n when mountains of freight must be moved from port to port and multi tudes upon multitudes of people will seek the comfort and pleasure of a lake trip. This activity becomes a perfect fever of unrest, a veritable epidemic. This malady may be dubbed lakelureitis for want of a bet ter. and none who follow the sea for a livelihood escape or want to escape its ravages. In fact, the disease must run its course and does not subside unnl—all-aboard—the vesselmen have fairiy set sail for the season. But before a wheel turns or naviga tion opens in earnest there is a vast amount of work to be done. Fitting out a fleet such as makes any one of the large lake ports its headquarters is a task whose magnitude is little ap preciated by the public. Approximate ly 130 vessels are registered from De troit alone. Each year vast sums are expended in the way of replacements and maintenance aside from the labor that is given employment for weeks before the boats leave on their first trip. Twenty-five passenger steamers hail from Detroit. Last year they car ried 7,805,558 passengers without the loss of a single life, yet few- of this number realized the work involved in preparing for their care and comfort before the season was under way. Equipping a modern passenger boat is a gigantic undertaking. Even after this is done, keeping it trim is a task. Each spring every foot of these ves sels is gone over by scrubbers, paint ers, decorators, upholsterers and car penters. Not a spot is overlooked. From stem to stern the renovation pro ceeds until the boat fairly glistens in its new coat. To fit out one of these vessels for the season runa into money. Con servative estimates place the amount that will be expended on the 25 alone this spring at $175,000, including ma terial and labor. This may seem ex travagant, but once you have gone into the subject you marvel that the re sults obtained can be secured for even such a sum. The "swab squad” is in full swing along the water front these days. At frequent Intervals may be found small heating stoves, from whose stacks belch dense volumes of black smoke. Here the "dope” that removes the grease and grime from the decks and upper works of the boats is prepared by a man whose stock-in-trade con sists of an iron pail, a barrel, a lib eral allowance of water and Immense quantities of washing powder. What the chief dopemaster looks like after a few hours at this work doesn't mat ter. He is more concerned with earn ing bis day’s wage than with his per sonal appearance. The same is true elsewhere, and It Is well that such is the case, as it saves a vast amount of worry. High up on the sides of the vessel, with bucket and brush, picking their way along the rail, where a single mis step would send them to possible death in the cold waters below, the workmen apply the preparation that plays havoc with dirt, It Is no easy task, this bal ancing one’s self on a narrow rail, reaching upward as far as possible and manipulating a brush for hours. They say that In time anyone could become used to It, but few would have the desire to learn by actual experi ence the truth of this assertion. Along the decks similar scenes are being enacted, save that here a broom does duty. Heneath the touch of these men, skilled in the business, the grime disappears as if by magic. Following them come others with hose, washing the vessel, Trom whose sides streams a muddy flood. East of all are the painters, putting on the finishing touches and giving new life to the bears that, now silent save for the presence of the work men, will a few weeks hence echo with the merry laughter of hundreds of travelers. The work of fitting out is by no means confined to the exterior of the boats. On the contrary, although more spectacular, this is in reality less es sential than what is going on within. Here upholsterers and carpet layers and decorators by the score are busy. In the fall the boats are virtually stripped of their furnishings, which are put away in safe quarters for the winter. In the spring they are over hauled before being once more in stalled. Kvery mattress—and there are . hundreds of them on many of the boats —is gone over carefully, every bit of bedding inspected, to see that it is in first-class shajje. All the silver must be brought forth and polished, the china and glassware put in place. And what a world of supplies are required. On the new City of Cleve land, which will shortly go into com mission at Detroit, there are 3.400 | pieces in the silver service, 6,300 pieces of crockery and 2,000 of glass ware. Among the furnishings of the steamer will be 5,500 yards of carpet j for the saloons and staterooms. For i the latter there will be required 2.000 ! mattresses. 4,000 sheets, 4.000 pillow j cases and 2,000 blankets. The equip ment in the linen line will be rounded out by 5.000 towels and 3,000 napkins. Kverything else is on a like scale, and the work of putting all this in shape is difficult to comprehend. These are things of which the public has slight knowledge, hut which would call forth a vigorous protest should the slight est detail be overlooked. A fev.’ weeks hence the labors of to day will be forgotten in the rush of the daily routine, save by those fur nished employment and the concerns that benefit from the immense sums distributed by the vessel companies. HE WANTS A NEW GREETING. Captious Critic Says the Only Honest Welcome Is a Texan’s. “I do wish some one would intro duce a new way of saying: ’How d’you do?’ said the captious critic, as he shook hands with a friend. “I am getting a trifle tired of this worn-out facetiousness. I greet a man with: 'How do you do?’ and follow it up with: ‘Well, how do you do?’ and fol low it up with: ‘Well, what are you doing now?’ Invariably I get that idi otic answer: ’Oh, everything and everybody!’ Of course, that stops the conversation right away, and I look upon the man as asinine. ”1 used to know a lady, who to my greeting of: 'How are* you?’ would daily say: ‘Oh, a little piano, thank you, just a wee hit piano!’ She would dwell on that last word until she made me as much out of tune as she herself was. "I had another acquaintance, also a lady, who was even worse. She was a rather eldprly typewriter with opin ions of her own. When I went into the offire in which she was engaged, i invariably used to pass the time of day, and add: ’How are you this morn ing?’ She never failed to reply: ‘Thank you, Miss Jones is always well!’ She was Miss Jones. One day, when she was evidently suffering from a severe cold, J thought. I should surely receive a different answer. Not a bit of it. ’Miss Jones is always well,’ came as usual. 1 afterward found out that she was a disciple of some school of New Thought, and that naturally accounted for her inevitable and continued good health. "Take it all in all, there's no greet ing like what I call ’the Texan how do you do?’ There Is an absence of a salutatory dialogue, and the grip is a bit strenuous, but still H'b honest.” True. Bullets can whistle, but It takes a brave man to listen to them. SKYSCRAPERS How Our Gigantic Structures Com pared with Their Dwellings. The real skyscrapers an* built by the white arils. The (treat pyramid of Egypt Is about 480 feet high, thi* Eiffel tower Is 984 feet, the new offices 01 the Metropolitan Life Insurance com pany In New York will reach 058 feet In height. But these gigantic struc tures sink Into comparative Insignifi cance beside the cone-shaped tnud and clay dwellings constructed by the ter mites or so-called white unts. One of these ant hills recently measured by an enterprising naturalist exploring Somaliland was found to be 18 feet In height, while many he discovered to be ten and fifteen feet high. The stature of an average man Is about 6V4 feet. The highest dwelling house yet erected Ih about 376 feet, or tiO times the height of this man. The Eiffel tower Is about 179 times the height of this man. But the average height of a termite is about half an Inch, making a ten-foot ant hill 240 BUILT BY ANTS Ilmen his stature. If we magnify the ant to the size of a man its dwelling would be 1,320 feet In height, Incom parably larger In proportion than any skyscraper ever erected by genus homo. The constructive Instinct Is highly developed In many of the lower aulmuls. The beaver not only bur rows but builds a but of Btlcks which It plasters with mud by means of Its flat tall, that may be likened to a gardener's grass beater; the tail also serves as a store for fat to tide the animal over the winter. The flamingo also builds a nest of mud. Harvest mice and dormice make spherical nests of grass and many fishes con struct nests in which to rear their young. Love Not Waning.

It 3hould at All Times Be a “Livable” Room. tVhat to do -with the living room is a problem that confronts every house keeper. The living room should be in fact as well as in name a living room—a livable room. It is the room in which the most of our time at home is spent, the hours we have for leisure, the time we have for play, the place where we entertain our friends and it is absolutely essential that the walls and furnishings of the living room should be harmonious in color, suitable in texture, and durable in material. The rich, soft, solid colored walls are the ideal wails for the living rooms. They make a better back ground for pictures, throw the furni ture out in better relief, are less dis cordant with rugs and carpeting, and indicate a higher degree of taste and culture than do the colored mon strosities which we paste on when we apply wall paper. Who ever aw re t = climbing up a plastered wall growing oat of a hard wood floor? Yet, that is what we suggest to the imagination when we paste paper covered with roses on our walls. They are neither artistic nor true. Roses are all very beauti ful. but they were never made to climb up interior walls and they do not grow from hardwood flooring. The set figures of wail paper are also tiresome and equally disagreeable and repellant. The alabastined wall is the only correct form of a tinted or solid col ored wafl. Fortunately it is the only clean way, and more for’unatelv it is the only permanent way; the only way that does not involve the end less labor in the future. In lighting the walls some thought must be given the color. Light colors reflect 83^ of the light thrown upon them. Dark colors reflect but Lighting bills can be saved by choos ing a color which will reflect the largest degree of light. In north rooms use warm colors or colors which reflect light. In south and west rooms sometimes the light can be modified by the use of darker colors. Dark greens absorb the light; light yellows reflect it; browns mod ify it, and so on, through the scale of colors. The coior scheme of a ;com not only is dependent upon the color of the carpetings but it is also dependent upon the light of the room. TOOK TIME. A Scotsman, having hired himself to a farmer, had a cheese set before him that he might help himself. After some time, the master said to him: •’Sandy, you take a long time to breakfast.” ”In truth, master.” said Sandy; ‘‘a cheese o’ this size is na sae soon eaten as you may think.” Maintaining His Dignity. Even the elevator boy had to draw the line somewhere, to prevent his being made too common. A writer in the New York Evening Post tells of a recent experience with one of the fraternity. “If any one calls, Percy, while I am out, tell him to wait. I shall be right back,” she said to the apartment house elevator boy. There was no answer. “Did you hear me? Why don't you answer?” asked the woman, with some heat. "I never answers, ma’am, unless I doesn't hear, and then I says •What?’ ” Shorten the Agony. “Say!” growled the man in the chair, "hurry up and get through shav ing me.” “Why,” replied the barber, “you said you had plenty of time.” “I know, but that was before you began to use that razor.”—Philadel phia Press. COFFEE EYES. It Acts Slowly But Frequently Pro duces Blindness. The curious effect of slow daily* poi soning and the gradual building in of disease as a result, is shown in num bers of cases where the eyes are af fected by coffee. A case in point will illustrate: A lady in Oswego, Mont., experi enced a slow but sure disease settling upon her eyes in the form of increas ing weakness and shooting pains with wavy, dancing lines of light, so vivid that nothing else could be seen for minutes at a time. She says: “This gradual failure of sight alarmed me aud I naturally begaD a very earnest quest for the cause. About this time I was told that cof fee poisoning sometimes took that form, and w-hile I didn’t believe that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I - concluded to quit It and see. “I took up Postum Food Coffee in spite of (he jokes of Husband whose experience with one cup at a neigh bor's was unsatisfactory. Well, I made Postum strictly according to di rections, boiling it a little longer, be cause of our high altitude. The result was charming. I have now used Pos tum in place of coffee for about 3 months and my eyes are well, never paining me or showing any weakness. I know to a certainty that the cause of the trouble was coffee and the cure was in quitting it and building up the nervous system on Postum, for that was absolutely the only change 1 made in diet and I took no medicine. “My nursing baby has been kept in a perfectly healthy state since I have used Postum. "Mr.-, a friend, discarded cof fee and took on Postum to see if ho could be rid of his dyspepsia and fre quent headaches.
