The Quiet Dignity or Man Who Was Liv ing For Posterity A Pretty Little Skit Written la the English Novelist's Inimi table Style. I knew him for several years before bis death. When I first made his ac quaintance, he was already an old man. He was also, as was evident from tho first, a very poor man. He weut about shabbily dressed. He carried biscuits in his pocket to the reading room on. which he lunched or took snacks at in tervals during the day. Perhaps he had dinner afterward, but I always suspect ed his dinuer to be an uncertain and a movable feast It was understood that he was something in the literary way. I got to know him by sitting next to him day after day. We exchanged the amenities of the reading room, apolo gized for crowding each other with books; abused the talkers, remarked on the impudence of those who go to the room in order to flirt and bo forth. When I got to know him better, I made little discoveries about him, as, for iustance, that he liked a glass of beer in the middle of the day and that he could not afford the twopence. I may say, not boastfully, that I was able to offer him this little luxury. We used to go out together for the purpose. He was good enough to take an interest in my work. He proved to have a consider able knowledge of books and gave me considerable help in this way. One Sunday I met him in the street We stopped to speak. He lamented the closing of the museum on Sunday. For his own part, he said, he would have the reading room open every day in the week. Why close the avenues of knowl- edge? Why damn the fountains and springs of wisdom? So we walked and talked. He was perfectly dignified in his manner, though his great coat was ao thin and shabby that one might be ashamed to be seen with him. He stop ped presently at the door of a house in High street, Holborn. "I lodgo here, " he said. "Will you come up stairs and see my hermitage? I remember that he called it grandly his hermitage. He led the way; the stairs were dark and dirty; he took me to the fifth, or fifty-fifth, floor. He liv ed in the back attio. "This," he said, "is the cell of the recluse. I live here quite retired. There are other lodgers, I believe, but I do not know them. I live here with my library in simplicity. The air is whole some at this height. " He threw open the window and sniff ed the fragrance of the neighboring chimneys. The room was clean; the furniture was scanty; there was no fire in the grate; on a shelf were about 25 books his library. The man looked per fectly contented with his hermitage. There were no papers on the table, nothing to show that he was a writer. I do not know how he lived certain ly he did no work at the museum but he never borrowed. In one corner stood a wooden chest. He lifted the lid and nodded and laughed. - "Aha!" he said, "now I am going to reveal a seoret. You didn't know, no body at the museum kuows, the people in the house don't know, that I am what do you think? a poet. It is 80 years since I paid for the publication of my collected poetical works. Yes, sir, and I am going not only to commu nicate this secret to your honor in safe keeping but to present you with a copy. There, my young friend 1" He pro duced a thin volume. "I am Paul the Wanderer." Iu fact, the title page bore tho legend, "Collected Poetical Work of Paul the Wanderer." "Thirty years," he repeated. "There were 500 copies. The press received 50, the publio bought four; there remained 440. I have now given you one. There now remain 445. I have bequeathed these to the publio libraries of the na tion. Sir, you are young. You will yourself perhaps publish your poems. Remember for your comfort that it takes 50 years, or two generations, for the noblest poets to take their proper place. Greatness true, stable, solid greatness, not tho empty applause given to an ephemeral favorite re quires 50 years at least. Qo, sirl Take the book I have given you, and in after voars. when I am goue, tell the world that yon knew Paul the Wanderer I" I wrung his hand in silence and left him. More than 50 years have passed since he published that work. No one has yet spoken to me of Paul the Wan' derer. But I now understood his digni ty, his self respect and his content He was anticipating and enjoying his fu ture fame. He was living for posterity. Present poverty and neglect were noth ing.

Ho was born In New York city 58 years ago and was appointed a cadet at the Naval academy wheu ho was but 13 years of ago. At the beginning of hostilities between the north and south he was com missioned nontenant and assigned to the steamship Dncotah.

He was commissioned a commander in 1 870 and was assigned to ortlnnnoo duty in New York and Washington until 1876.

He was made a commodore not long ago, and upon the retirement of Renr Admiral Gherarili was placed In command of the Brooklyn navy yard. The United States Are Not Singular. There was a time in the history of these United States when there was a good deal of heated discussion as to whether they were singular or plural. To a good many critical minded gentlemen it seemed that the whole question whether we are a nation or a mere confederation of states hung on the decision of that point, and being ardent advocates of the national theory they were very strenuous in insisting on the singular form. In their eves it was a little less than treasonable to use the collective noun with the plural form of the verb, to say the United States "are" instead of the United States "is." As the point was not deemed by anybody else worth quarreling over those who based their claim of nationality on the assertion of singularity had it all their own way; but the question has now been decided by an indubitable authority and against the singulansts. Iu a case recently argued before the supreme court of the United States, Justice Field referred with empha sis and approval to the fact t hat the United States in the constitution are spoken of In the plural, citing the third section of arti cle 8, where it is declared that treason against the United States shall consist in levying war against "them," or in adhering to "their" enemies, etc. He cites also as a still later authority in point of time the declaration in the thirteenth amendment, that neither slavery nor involuntary servi tude, except as a punishment for crime, shall exist in the United States, or in any place subject to "their" jurisdiction.

At the lost drawing room of Queen ictoria there was a carnival of jewels. One reckless woman, the Marchioness of Tweeddale, was arrayed in a wide skirt whose many seams were outlined with diamonds aud emeralds. The Duchess of Devonshire was a blaze of gems, and so was the Duchess of Buccleuch. The marchioness seems to have been the only one who sewed up the seams of her skirt, so to speak, with jewels, but there was quite a goodly number whose bodice seams were outlined with dia monds. One lady wore a long string of diamonds across her breast, like an order. Jeweled hooks upon which to hang their fans were worn by most of the guests. A quaint and beautiful fancy was the placing of a diamond in the heart of a rose worn in the hair or on the bodice. There it nestled like a great dewdrop provided it was not lost in the crush. Necklaces in profusion were worn, and such was the passion for display that these were often supplemented by a band of velvet studded with stars. Bird's, butterflies and flowers of jewels were quite common, and the veils were kept in place by long earrings formed in to pins, but with the pendants free to flash out kaleidoscopic prismatic colors. The bodices were fastened at the back with diamonds, and one waist had a fringe of diamonds across the front Jeweled girdles were also worn. The turquoise was represented whenever it would harmonize with the color of the gown, bmeraius were mucn worn, ana the present supremacy of mauve or heli otrope had brought the amethyst out in force. London Letter. A Princess of the Royal Blood. Eulalie is all right. She is one of us. We have given her a hearty republican welcome, and she has made herself en tirely at home with us. We have greet ed her with the booming of cannon and the shrill whistles of our ferryboats. She was at first a little confused by the noise, but on being assured that it was intended as a compliment she declared that her head didn't ache and that she rather liked it. The whole country is in love with her, She is a charming young woman, and the normal school girls do well to rave. When she said to them: "Well, young ladies, I am very much pleased at the manner in which you have received me. I am quite proud to be entertained by you," they thought her a fairy in dis guise and clapped their hands in ap plause, but when she cried out impul sively. "1 wish I were sitting on the benches with you girls, they could hardly contain themselves. If any other princesses ever come to America, we shall judge them by the standard which Eulalie has furnished. for though an aristocrat in the historic sense she is as good a democrat as any of us.

Dr. Mott't wide experience as Government Chemist for the Indian Depart ment, gave him exceptional opportunities to acquaint himself with the qualities and constituent parts of baking powders. He understands thoroughly the comparative value of every brand in the market, and has from time to time expressed his opinion thereof. On a recent careful re-examination and analysis he finds Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder superior to all others in strength, purity, and efficiency. Dr. Mott writes : " New York, March aoth, 1894. I find Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder to be superior to all others, for the following reasons : 1st. It liberates the greatest amount of leavening gas and is consequently more efficient. and. The ingredients used in its preparation are of the purest character. 3rd. Its keeping qualities are excellent. 4th. On account of the purity of the materials and their relative proportions, Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder must be considered the acme of perfection as regards wholesomeness and efficiency, and I say this having in mind certificates I have given several years ago respecting two other baking powders. The reasons for the change in my opinion are based on the above facts and the new method adopted to prevent your baking powder from caking and deteriorating in strength. Henry A. Mott, Ph. D., L. L. D." FIVE CONSONANTS IN A ROW. A Polish Name That .Sounds a Good Deal Like Two Snoeaea. A subscriber to the Milwaukee Sen tinel is curious to know tho correct pro nunciation of the Polish name Brzczen ski. He came across it iu ou account of an affray which took pktce on Sobieski stroot, that city, and evinced a desire to master its pronunciation. On investi gation it was fouud that the name, if really spelled as indicated, must be pronounced Bsh-tchinitki, the rz be ing souuded about as the English "sh," and the 'Was th"tch" in "hitob ing." Some of the Poles in Milwaukee are in favor of a reform in the spelling of their names. As a matter of fact, the let ters in the Polish alphabet do not repre sent the Bame sounds as the letters in the Latin or English alphabet. For in stance, the Polish w is-equivalont to the English v, and the s sometimes assumes the sound of sh, the z that of Hie Eng lish z in azure. Tho Polish tongue con tains a great many more sounds than the old Latin did, and in order to ex press the additional sounds in Latin characters it was found necessary to oombine different consonants. The re sult is that a person familiar only with the English language regards the Polish names as jawbreakers aud despairs over their pronunciation. A reform in the spelling of Polish names similar to the reform adopted by Mme. Modjcska in tiie spelling of her name would be a groat relief to hun dreds of people. Modicska's name in Polish is spelled Modzzejowska, in a manner in which no Englishman or American living would be able to pro nounce it. Chervinski would sound the same way as Czerwinski, only everybody would be able to read it W. L.

The legal rate at pawnshops is 8 per cent a month for the first six months ana t por cent month for succeeding months, but most pawnbrokers supplement these rates by charges for care of the articles pawned, so that as mucn as BUU per cent per annum is something paid to them for the use of money. The People's Bank association pro poses to begin by a charge of 1 per cent. month and expects to start with f 1U0 000 capital, which is to earn 4 per cent dividends fur its owners. The success of such a movement seems to depend simply on the shrewdness of the money lender employed. With the rigutman in the avuncular situation there seems to be no inevitable obstacle to the suc cess of a plan which, if it does succeed, seems bound to help the right people at the right time. Plans for the relief of pawnbrokers who succumb to competi tion can be devised later on if they are needed. Harper's Weekly.
