Britain succeeds In maintaining present
production In theaa fields, great will
be the credit due to bar captains of In

ao with Industrials much Increase is
Impossible.
This Is tha age of consolidation, in
dustrially and nationally. Consider the
recent consolidation and rapid growth
of the German empire. Who can im
agine that the process haa stopped? On
the contrary, we are on the ava of
further consolidations In Europe of
great 'extent. The successes of the
American, republic 4t states consoli
dated into one Union, with free trade
over all. and that of Oermany. with lta

The day la coming when Britain will

First, shall she sink comparatively to

Belgium comparatively? Her note that
we do not postulate ber actual decline,

powers. Or. second, shall aha consoli

shall she grasp the outstretched hand
of her children in America and become

member of the English-speaking race?
Assuming that Other powers sre to

Oermany and Russia have yet room to

Before taking your catch home, ob

a woman ahould alwaya be very careful

than tho girl, but huabanda are purely a
matter of individual taate, and unless
ona selects the kind of flavor aha likes
be Is apt to pall upon her after ahe haa

girls prefer men with a tobasco flavor,
others like aomethlng that la ftasy and

T la now Just half a century since a

devotion closed by a peaceful death.
In the obituary notice of the mar
quis of Anglesey a contemporary Jour
nal wrltea In the following terms:
"Seldom have bravery, gentleness and
generosity been combined In such noble
proportions. In his character there waa
not a fold; It waa all open as the day.
HIb politics were thoroughly liberal, and
with far mure insight and sound states
manship In them than the world haa
given htm credit for. He had a sound,
shrewd understanding, a Judgment sel
dom at fault, often acting like an In
stinct, and accompanied with a moral
courage not inferior to his brilliant
physical bravery on the field of battle.
In the Peninsular war, at the battle of
Waterloo, Lord Anglesey's name standa
among the heroes At the great decisive
battle, when, leading the Ouarda, almost
the laat shot that waa fired on that
memorable day struck Lord Anglesey on
the knee, and It waa necoaaary there and
then to amputate his limb, and five days
after the victory he received the dignity
of the title of marqula, conferred on him
by tho prince regent, and was nominated
Knight of tho drum! Cross of the Order
of the Bath. No name probably stood
more prominently before the public In
tho middle of the laat century, none
more honored, and none more deaarvedly
won a country's gratitude.
It Is therefore all the more painful to
know that with auch a heritage so fan
tastic a descendant aa the present Lord
Angleaey should represent so great a
name. All England has been laughing
over the extraordinary sale of tho ef
fects sold by order of the court at An
glesey castle.
Never haa any human being squan
dered money to so alarming an extent,
and never has a perverted taate produced
auch an exhibition of folly. The atately
caatle among the Weleh hills has been
the resort of dealers and tradesmen of
all sorts, who havs repaired thither to
buy the strange collection of peraonal
effecta, . furniture and Jewelry acquired
by this eccentric Individual. Walking
stlcka of fantastic device were sold to
the amount of thousanda of pounds.
For Instance, one of these possessed a

handle'. Others represented a tortoise,
tho whole body being composed of a Ca

But It was the sale of the marquis'
wardrobe which haa created a sensation.
His night attire waa of ao extraordinary
a. character that Mrs. Brown Potter's
dresses could not have rivaled the mar
vels Of the combinations of color. Silk
dressing-gowns embroidered with gold
were disposed of by the hundred; white
satin evening rlothea to bs worn with
black shirts, the Idea doubtless derived
from the circus clown- for. indeed, the
society of Anglesey caatle must have
been somewhat on tho lever of the cirrus
Jester. Ping-pong suits, smoktng-coats,
bllllard-room attire for every game,
amusement or occupation apparently re
quired a change of toilet.
But the gorgeous personal wardrobe
exhibited at the castle waa as nothing In
comparison with the msrvslous theat
rical costumes collected by Lord Angle
sey and aold the other day tn London.
There was a certain grim fitneas In
the London fog which a few daya ago

It wa. a problem hard to solve wheth

make the sensation of sn hour. Little
wonder that every one, as he entered, ex

fect of phantasy run riot, the phantasy
of a young man who In a few short years
had aquandered. largely on clothes, s
vast fortune, and brought an honored
name into contempt, and waa now com
pelled to compound with hla creditors
Never probably have Willis' auction
rooms seen such an array, for if all the
l.omloti theatres had combined to aell
their stage properties they could not
have equaled the lavish extravagance of
this young man. whose love for stage
effecta led him Into auch rtotoua ex

sixes and lengths, ready to supply a
Romeo, a Louis XIII, a Chinaman or a
Malay.
The contrasts of the costumes were
startling. A ooronatlon robe of the time

broidered with fleurs de lis and lined
with ermine, was companioned by a ault
of corduroy, ragged at the edgea and In

What we should do is to begin at the

to be found In every atata. They ahould
be houaed properly, with sufficient land
to furnish them with the necessary food

Where there is watsr power, or where
land Is not fertile, factories of all kinds
ahould be hum by the government and
run and managed by the government. The
employes should be tsken from this class
of seemingly hopeless material and taught
how to live and to work.
The tramp, and determined Idler should
be made to work. The vlcloua should be
taught hrw to do better In a reformatory
but not In a prison.
We should see our hospitals, dlBpen
saries. poorhouses snd prisons decrease
at a rapid rate. Money expended In these
former Institutions would be used on
the hou.es. landa and factorial for the
poor.
Taxe. would be ne higher than at

health would be greatly Improved.
Every one would be paid according to

fur.
Ths historical, costumes were, how- j
ever, not only beautiful they were cor
rect in detail and carried out In tha most
lavish way. An Ellxabcthan blue velvet
cout was embroidered In pearls and
looked as though it bad been worn by a
i Veil or a Leicester. The curious taste
of the man with regard to evening dress
is well illustrated by a suit which Is en-
tlrely In scarlet satin

Holllday, who la carrying on a crusade
In favor of tha general use of knes
breeches In material suitable at tlmo and
place and the occupation of the wearer.
Lord Anglesey's scarlet suit was supple
mented by a large cloak embroidered In
black demons.
Among the fancy costumes, the most
extraordinary' effecta wero to bo Been.
' Le Hoi des Fleurs" was a dasxlingly
gorgeous dress, with the rising sun In
paste diamonds, with a cloak of cloth of -gold
bordered with ermine, and ths crown
and wand a maaa of ostrlch-feathere and
lowers. "The Prince of the Air" was
an extraordinary conception, composed -of
blrda of paradise, the cloak, the shoea
and the headdress all covered with their
outstrstched wings, and a hundred oth
ers Illustrated the same Insane folly.
Imitation Jewels glittered on every
hand crowns for mimic kings and
queens, helmets, words, bolts and weap
ons of exquisite workmanship; but tho
strange vanity of the man was emphs
sised by the fact that with most of tho
costumes were clever paintings of him as
he appeared decked In hla finery.
What will be the life of such a man
shorn of its tinsel glory? It would seem
best to try to forget such folly; and yet
it Is with a sad heart that one has to
allow that this young man Is but tho
exaggeration of he spirit of the age.
Irresponsibility and the madness for
amusement characterise many who have
much of this world's goods, and while
the career of thla foolish peer haa been
a matter of Jeat. It seems to roe at tho
game time to have in it an element of
warning; for may it not bo that it ta tho
spirit of our time run riot?
Perhaps the whole episode strike, me
as all the more terrible as the willful
squandering of money stands out in such
ugly contrast to the grim want which
thla winter surrounds us on all hands.'
Poverty
A. all would work, sll would have a
chance to supply themselves with the
necessaries which they now demand but

where the next meal la coming from and
yet manage In some way to pay rent

Do you ever stop to think sbout it, you
who have a plenty from week to week,
you who never did a moment's work Ib
your life, yet are cared for, clothed and
fed, but through no effort of your own?
Wa aay, do you ever care about theae
people who live in darkness, fllth and
poverty, because they do not know how
to do any different, and could not do
much better if they did know how?
Shame upon you If you never havo

The time Is coming when you will havo

when this patient, forebearing humanity
