"It isn't generally known that Tur

The painter and the physician had
a fine garden, and they took: a good
deal of pride in their flowers. But
the garden gate did not work wellJ
and one day Turner, because it would
not open, pettishly gave orders that
it be sailed up.
It was thought that this odd act
would enrage Angustns Pritchard. but,
on being told of it an he said was:
"Oh, wen. I dont care what Tar

f the Battle
Every year, as Memorial day passes
wd the flowers are scattered aad the
little flags flutter on the soldiers'
graves and the speeches are made set
ing forth their claims to honor aad
e music wails loudly of oar grief for
-hem, the question recars, "Were these
fighting men our only heroes? Does
the country hold oaly its soldiers
worthy of remembrance?"
The soldier is the oaly servant of
his country who, while living, is pen
sioned by her. If he carried a gun a
certain number of months in her serv
ice, though he never saw the face of
battle lower, he is sure when he
reaches a certain age of a comfortable
support from her boanty. The civil
servants of the state, no matter how
long or hard their service, neither re
ceive nor ask a pension, nor any rec
ognition in money.
But surely when they are dead we
might spare them a flower and a bit
of cotton bunting!
Engineers who died to save the pas
sengers they never saw, firemen who
perished in the flames, scholars, in
ventors, statesmen, who to uplift their
fellow-men gave their lives of labor,

day-

The French have a better system
than ours.
On one day in the year all France
honors her dead. To the graveyards
all eyes and all hearts turn. The
soldier has his chaplet and flag, but so
has the dead scholar, the poet, the
hero of each village, the beloved one
in each house. Not only the great
general is honored, but the poor old
mother who worked for her children
until she dropped by the way. They
do not forget to lay the wreath upon
her grave.
If the dead can look back and know
and what is the use of our flags and
flowers and requiems if they do not
know? are they all except the fight
ing men to count themselves forgot
ten? We are not all fighting men. God
forbid that we should be.
Let us then, when another year
somes around, put a new meaning
Into Decoration day, and let each town
and village and family go out to pay
love and honor to all the dead who
lived nobly here among us. New

An ordinary echo is a curious
thing; but, according to the state
ments of a Frenchman at a watering
place in the Pyrenees, one echo on
the Franco-Spanish frontier is so far
from ordinary that it must have start

spoken." said the Frenchman, who
had secured an audience of wide-eyed
tourists, "you hear distinctly the
voice leap from rock to rock, from
precipice to precipice, and as soon as
it has passed the frontier it assumes

EARLY LESSON IN THRIFT.
Brooklyn Men Even Take Their
Babies to- Bank.
The other day a man entered a
Brooklyn bank carrying in one hand
a deposit book and closely clasped in
his other arm was a baby that was
perhaps ten or twelve months old. The
age may not be exact, but at any rate
the young one was old enough to sit
up and look around, as if it was con
sciously taking in the sights and
sounds of a new world.
Going up to one of those projecting
shelves which are placed against the
walls in some banks for the conven
ience of patrons who prefer to stand
up whfle writing, the man placed the
baby on the sloping surface, and as a
precaution against sliding off, which
it showed vevery indication of doing,
the wim put a -brake against the
threatened movement of the mass of
baby draperies by placing his arm in
front of the baby.
Then he proceeded to fin out a de
posit check, and when that was ac
complished he afr'" took the baby in
his arm, and. going up to the teller's
window, handed in his book, and when
the entry had been made he received
the book again, and, placing it in his
pocket, walked out of the bank, the
baby stffl staring everybody out of
countenance with the utmost cool
ness.

France and O Id-Age Pensions.
The British consul at Calais tells,
in his aTtTmai report, of an effort to
deal with old-age pensions. Twenty
three years ago M. Chatelus formed a
society, the rules of membership be
ing a monthly payment of a franc, aU
the funds to be invested, and at the
end of twenty years the interest on
capital to be equaUy divided among
members, and in each succeeding year
those who had been members for
twenty years to receive their equal
share of this interest. The present
rate of pension is 14 8s. per year.
The membership now stands at 347,
95L with a capital of over a million

Had the Client Safe.
A leading London lawyer says that
when he was a briefless barrister he
went one afternoon to read in the In

there long when his smaTT errand boy
appeared, greatly excited and breath
less from running. "If you pleas,
sir,' the boy gasped, "a gentleman is
waiting for you at the chambers with a
brief. He cant get out, sir. I've
locked him in." Together the barris
ter and the boy hurried back to the
chambers and the gentleman with a
brief, who was amused at his capture,
afterward became a most valuable
client.

in gng requiring imported goods
to be marked "Made m France."
"Made in Germany. etc As many
