When a married woman meets a par­ ticularly attractive, buap*, contented spinster, she says plaintively: "Poor Ada, or Virginia, or Eiumeline! What a pity that she never married!" She cannot help it any more than site can help the color of her hair. When Frederick--fumbling dreadfully, by the way-slipped the ring upon her finger, he endowed her not only with all his worldly goods, but also with an inerad­ icable pity for those upon whose hand the yellow band has never gleamed. If he had taken to beating her the fol­ lowing week, had developed an undue appetite for drink ftie next month and had deserted her the following year, she would still have looked with pat ronage upon uie, unbeaten, unac­ quainted with intoxication, undeserted. There is no wife so unhappy, so neg­ lected, so trampled upon, that she has not iu her uwu opiuiuu some one still more pitiable to whom to condescend, and that Is any unmarried woman, no matter how busy, how cheerful, how popular.--Anne O'Hagan in Harper's Bazar. fiie Ncilenry Plaiodealer PUBLISHED EVERY 'fHUBSBAV BY F. <3.

Senator Hopkins goes unerringly to the vital principle underlying all schemes of credit or elastic currency when he insists that there should be a minimum tax of 5 per cent on such cur­ rency. The senator takes the ground that credit currency ought to be issued only in seasons of great distress and strain--in other words, when the neces­ sity for it is imperative. He also as­ sumes that its purpose will be to pro­ mote the public welfare and not arbi­ trarily increase the earnings of the na­ tional banks; hence he concludes that the public welfare will demand its im­ mediate retirement as soon as money conditions become normal. This is the correct view. It would be a monstrons injustice to the industry and commerce of » country to invest the banks with a drastic taxing power which, if exercised without reasonable constraint, would inevitably bring disaster. Senator Hopkins says that a mini­ mum tax of 5 per cent upon first issues of credit currency would operate to per­ suade national banks to refrain from putting out that kind of money, except in seasons of real stringency, and, more­ over, would force the banks to retire it promptly after the season of stringency had ended. The senator is right. Ho bank will care to keep currency in cir­ culation a day after it ceases to meet fixed charge*. The qoeation of profit to the bamk does not rater into Senator Hopkins' calculations at all. Indeed, he is quite insistent (hat the bank should *|?ot profit from this kind of money. He - is obvionaly of the opinion that bankers J ought to, in the face of great financial crises, momentarily sink their natural j p demre for dividends in a patriotic desire | " to subserve the public welfare. Bank­ ers may not approve of Senator Hop- , kins' reasoning, and probably will resist V hia attempt to force them to conform to * the acknowledged demands of the pub­ lic, but they are sure, sooner or later, to see the justice of it. For our own • PWt trust that Senator Hopkins will ,! not recede a fraction of an inch from his • present position. It strikes us as being sound and just. If we are to have cred- , it currency let us see to it now that it does not prejudice the rights and inter- ' of the investing public. We are ^ «we we can depend upon the cordial . eft-operation of Senator Hopkins. " A Londdn Fog. ? Nothing has such 4 bewildering ef- feet a? fog. Only animals which find r their way by scent can get about iu it ^ with any certainty. Birds are entirely confused by it. Tame pigeons remain r all day motionless and half asleep, : ( huddled up, either in or Just outside their pigeon houses. Chickens remain 7; motionless for hours during bteavy fogs. } No bird sings or utters a call, perhaps because it fears to betray its where- i abouts to an unseen foe. During one , very thick fog a blind man was found j4~ wandering about a certain district of > London. This man was in the habit of coming up every day from a suburb, carrying notes and parcels, and had , scarcely ever lost his way before. : Asked why he had gone astray (for be : v was quite blind, and it was supposed I weather would have made no dlf- !'• ferenee), he said that in a fog the ground "sounded quite differently."-- London Chums. one y vv 7 Think of what it means! $1.75 for The Weekly Inter-Ocean and this paper for ear- It's a special deal. • - ,VLI Lost and Wen. "He who judges people by their money," said a elergyrujfci, "is apt to fare like the man who gave a dollar to each of his little sons. " 'Now, boys,' said the foolish man. 'I am going away for a week. Take this money and see how much you can make out of it In my absence. To him that does the best I'll give * fine present.' "On his return at the week's end he called the boys to him. . " 'Well, George, how have you. suc­ ceeded ?' he asked the first. "George proudly took $2 from his pocket. " 'I have doubled my money, father,' he said. " 'Excellent,' cried the father. 'And you, John, have you done better still T "•No, sir,' said Johq. sadly. 'I have lost all mine.' " 'Wretched boy,' the father ex­ claimed. 'How did you loee it?* " 'I matched George,' faltered the lad."--Exchange. Fond of Crab. A jolly old boy from the Midlands entered into one of the hotels at the seaside and, seeing on the slab on the right a crab dressed on the shell with legs, claws and parsley ranged round, said to the- landlord: "What d'ye call that?" "Crab," was the answer. "Looks good. I'll have un, and gie us a pint of ale." Bread and butter was added and the diner left to his dinner. In about an hour the genial landlord entered the dining saloon to see if his guest was getting on all right. He found him chawing up the last claw, the chawer red in the face, but beaming. "Like the crab, sir?" "Yes. Efe was capital. I never tast­ ed one afore, but I think you baked un i iilut tow long. The esust was hard. Let*s have another pint." He bad eaten the lot--shell, claws and all complete.--London Tit-Bits. An Epitaph of Pope's. Ttm following epitaph written by Pope was highly commended by John- aon. It was written to keep alive the memory of Elizabeth Corbett, who sleeps now In St Margaret's, West­ minster: Here rests tenae. Blest with plain reason sense; No conquest she but o'er herself desired; No arts essayed, but not to be admired. Passion and pride were to her soul un­ known.

In Germany "von" implies nobility, and all persons who belong to the no­ bility prefix "von" to their names with­ out any exception. Persons who do not belong to the nobility cannot have the right to put "von" before their uames. A man who is knighted for some reason, however; has the same iight to put "von" before his family name as a person of ancient nobility. For Instance, when Alexander Hum­ boldt was knighted he became Alex­ ander von Humboldt. Ail his descend­ ants, male and female, t£ke the prefix. Haven of Rest. It la desirable that each sex should occasionally escape from the other, it la restful to the nerves to do so; It is good for men to be with men only and for women to be alone with women now and then, and the club Is essen­ tially the place for each sex to find rest from the other and enjoy its own society.--London Lady's Pictorial.

The late Andrew J. Dam, a well known hotel man of New York, was. at the time of the civil war, proprietor of a hotel iu New Bedford. A num­ ber of colored citizens Interested in the formation of a military company called upon him and informed him that they would be glad to form the company and allow him to suggest the name, provided he would pay for the equip­ ments. "Congressman T. D. Elliott has fitted out a company of white men, and throughout the war they will be known as the Elliott Light Guards," said the spokesman of the colored men. "Well," said Dam, "if I am to equip and organize this colored company, I shall insist th4t they be known as the Dam Black Guards." The company was never organized.-- New York Tribune. fs Tracing the Bullet. If a bullet to be fired by a marksman Is coated with a fine paste of gun­ powder and gum, says the Dundee Advertiser, and then with a thin cov­ ering of some friction powder, the lat­ ter, as the bullet passes out of. the gun barrel, will ignite, and in turn set fire to the gunpowder paste. The bullet will then leave a long stream of smoke behind It, Indicating the exact course It has taken and enabling tbe marks­ man, If necessary, to correct his aim for bis next shot.
