An Appreciation of Affection.
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.

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

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.

THE LIVING ROOM.
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?’ ”

“Say!” growled the man in the

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. The change pro
duced a most remarkable improve
ment quickly.”
