A fine old aristocrat who has never been anything else, and whose forbears have not been anything else for a milennium or so, has some of the at tractive qualities of an ancient vintage or of exceptionally ripe old cheese, says The Independent. Brand new aristocrats are not pleasing. They still smell of machine oil and paint. Would-be aristocrats who have a measure of blue blood in their veins, but who are doomed to live in a demo cratic society nge in nowise attractive, but they are unobjectionable when they don’t talk too much. When they talk they "get foolish. Some men and women are slaves by nature. They would rather be lackeys to the great than to lead self-respect ing Independent lives in obscurity or poverty. In like manner the aristo cracy that is born of mere wealth or power Is a spurious article, which levels the pride of nations by reducing them to vulgar vice and imbecility. The only true aristocracy is Hat of those great souls who are aristocrats by nature; the men and women of noble Ideals, of civic courage, of for titude in days of trouble, the men and women of thought, of moral power, of beauty of spit It.

The Anigarika told yesterday of his deci sion to renounce everything for the sake of his mission, but he spoke mod estly and said little about himself. He also enumerated naively the articles he had purchased to take back with him and the price paid for them. He comes of a wealth family and has given Ills own money to the work besides undertaking the long journey to raise more money as it is needed. He spoke as If England had done nothing but harm in India elnee her oc cupation of that country as she has taken away the products of the land to manufacture articles from them In the home country; and she has des troyed native ambition as well by mak ing it impossible to follow any art or trade in India because she has taken all this into her own hands. The work of Christian missionaries would not seem to have amounted to much in India, either, for according to Mr. Dharmnpala, the missionaries are looked upon as unclean because they eat beef, pork and such things Which the Hindoos, of other religions, do not touch. Therefore it Is not easy for the missionary to give another religion to a land where people are already religious dyspeptics. They have 333,000,000 gods; more than 33,000.000 of which are super fluous, for there are more gods than Hindoos. The people suffer from too much religion. They are insane on the point, and 2,000,000 of thesinsane people go about crying that they are gods. Mr. Dharmapala said that cholera raged In India because the inhabitants lrank filthy water In which they bathe and in which they wash their clothes. They believe trie spirit of God moves over the water and purifies it, no matter how dirty it Is. Mr. Dharmapala's desire is to get the children from the seventh to the 13th year in his schools and' to teach them sanely the useful arts and right think ing so that when they reach the age of 13 or 14 they will be able to think for THE WORCESTER SPY.

Depew Congratulates Platt Senator Platt has received the follow ing letter of congratulation from Sena tor Depew on his approaching marriage to Mrs. Lillian T. Janeway: New York, Oct. 7, 1903. My Dear Platt—You have done the right thing. I speak from knowledge, it is the prevalent idea that In the evening of life, when friends are dropping away ana interests narrowing, a man should flock by himself. These croakers prac tically preach that youth is the period of companionship, and age for solitude. There is no period when home and domestic bliss are so necessary to pre serve youth and Its realities and Illu sions as when one has passed 60. Cheer fulness and not cheerlessness Is the se cret of happy longevity, and suscepti bility to surroundings increases with the years. Cordial congratulations and long, healthy and Joyful lives for you both, is the hearty wish of Mrs. Depew and myself. Faithfully yours, Chauncey M. Depew. A HARD LUCK STORY BY E. H. SOTHERN “We worked our way home,” said Stothern, “and when I landed on the New York side of Desbrosses Street Ferry I hadn’t even my "lagt cent” left. While I was standing there, re flecting on the disadvantages of primi tive means of locomotion, a young fel low named Armstrong who had been out with us, came up and said: "Well, shall we take a cab or a street ear." "We looked at each other a moment, while hope gleamed in the eyes of each that the other could pay some kind of fare. I knew I couldn't, and I was afraid to take chances on Armstrong, so I said: "I’m going to walk up. It’s such a fine day I really prefer a walk." "What shall we do with our bags?” said Armstrong.

I’ll go along with you.” "So up we trudged, halting at every block to set down our bags for a change of hands and to exchange ex pressions of unconscionable admiration about the fine weather." "When we reached the Sturtevant House,” continued Sothern, ”1 leaned, exhausted, against the desk, and In quired in an offhand way, if there was any mall for me. A letter was handed out by the clerk, and upon opening it found a draft for three pounds for a song I had written a long time before for Walter Slaughter, now a well known London composer. With a far more princely air than I had ever simulated on the stage. I ordered a room, and with infinite satisfaction watched the bell boy stagger off with my bag.’’—From “A Chat with E. H.

Even the courts, which naturally change most slowly, under the quick ening stimulus supplied by the vigor ous district attorney, and by the more vigilant public opinion which Is a usual accompaniment of reform epochs, have dealt out a more speedy and more even-handed administration of justice. Criminals who have felt themselves safely ‘ntrenched behind the police “system” and their unlimited wealth, or behind some political power of un defined strength, have been crowded unceremoniously to the prisoners’ bar and have been sentenced as If they were but common felons. — From “Municipal Reform and Social Welfare In New York," by Edward T.

PENNSYLVANIA'S ENORMOUS MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES “The manufacture of Iron and steel Is today the most Important Industry of the state, employing In 1900 110,864 wage earners, or 15 per cent of the wage earners of the commonwealth,” writes Addison B. Burk In the Inter esting article on Pennsylvania which he has contributed to "The Story of the States" In the October Pearson’s. "The products were valued at $434,445,200, or 23.7 per cent of the total value of the products of the state —an Increase in total value of 64 per cent, during the single decade. There has also been an extensive development of the tin and terne-plate manufacture since 1890, Pennsylvania ranking first In the Industry and furnishing nearly 40 per cent of the total product of the United States. "In the manufacture of textiles the state ranks second, Philadelphia being the chief centre. Silk was first In the value of products In 1900, but Penn sylvania Is also a large producer of cotton and woolen goods, turning out 48 per cent In value of ail the carpets made In the United States. Pennsyl vania Is foremost, also, In the produc tion of coke, In refining petroleum, in tanning, currying and finishing leather In car construction for steam railroads, In the manufacture of glass, of which it produces more than one-half of the total for the United States; In the building of locomotives and In the con- 7 The Best $3 Ladies' Boot Yet Produced Is Our B.

"In 1840 and 1850 Pennsylvania was third In manufacturing and In me chanical Industries, since then she has stood second." Naughtiness Wihy am I sometimes naughty And sometimes very good?
