IRELAND WINS THIS TIME.
Has Distinctly the Best of Old -Age
a Pensions.
The British Chancellor of the
Exchequer says that the total num-
Ca. ber of claims received by an old -
age pension officers up to the 10th
inst, amounted to 8463,164, of
which 273,862 came from England,
131,610 from Ireland, 49,077 from
Scotland and 13,615 from Wales.
Mr. Asquith's estimate in his bud-
get speech was for half a million
pensions in the first year. The ap-
plications up to now nearly reach
that figure, but it is possible that
a considerable number of claims
will bo rejected on scrutiny.
The relatively large number of
applications from Ireland, probab-
ly, is duo to the fact that there are
more persons of sixty-five years of
ago and upwards its Ireland than in
EI,gland and Scotland. In the re-
port of the census for 1901 the pro-
portion per thousand of the total
population is given as follows with
respect to persons of sixty-five
years and upwards; England and
Wales, males 42, femals 51; Scot-
land, reales 41, females 56; Ireland,
males 64, females 63.
Tho high proportion of old peo-
ple enumerated in Ireland =s, says
the report, mainly accounted for by
emigration.

Those who are high in the coun-

cf any separation between them,
and that this salvation depends up-
on going back to the people with

The Christian church was estab-

its laborers became its saints. In
a world cursed with aristocracy it

that it converted an emporor and

A CHURCH OF CLASS.
To -day it is largely grown to bo
a church of class again. The plain
people, the labor ing peoples find
themselves at fancied odds, if not
with its teaching and preaching at
least with its practice. They are
not irreligious, the people; they aro
anxious and wistful for something
which will spiritually uplift. They
want amelioration of those condi-
tions which everybody deplores.
They do not find the church fulfil-

its great work. It seems to them

SERPENT SAVED BOY'S LIFE.
India Village School Story Quite
Oriental in Details.
A strange story is given by a sub-
scriber of a drama said to have
happened in a Jubbulporc (India)
village school, says the Paisa Akh-
bar.
A few days ago one of the teach-
ers detained a Manajar boy, wear-
ing ornaments, after school hours,
saying that he would not be allow-
ed to go home till he had prepared
his day's lesson. When the rest of
the students had gone away and
there was noie to watch them the
master shut the boy up in a small
room and demanded all his orna-
ments.
On the latter's refusal the mas-
ter gave him several cuts with a
blunt knife. As the knife was too
bad to kill the boy and the bo also
was suffering from excruciating
pain, he requested his teacher to
kill him by a stone lying in the
school compound. No sooner said
than the master agreed to it and
went to bring the stone. The mas-
ter had hardly lifted the stone when
a black serpent rose up and coiled
itself round his arms.
The half dead boy, seeing that
his master did not come back shout -
It was some minutes before he
spoke.
"My dear," he then said slowly,
his voice husky with emotion, "I
never said we must study astrono-
my. I said we must study econo-
my."

included dinner frocks, teagowns,

visit it was again carefully packed 1

from her ladyship's London house

plied it.
My lady's rival, who was furious-

creations her ladyship had exhibit-

house in Dover street which could
turn out a rose -leaf charmeuso tea -
gown of the order her ladyship had
worn for the prince. She immedi-

house, therefore, et which she was
well known, and said she wanted
such a robe.

People are now wondering what
attitude the house in question will
take up against her ladyship. The
teagown was a $500 one, and it is
a recognized fact in the trade and
to the beat dressed women that a
great house like Doucet never
turns out two models alike.

BANK NOTES IN A 1)IS1' BiN.
Ifow They Were Dis'+orered and
Returned to 'Their Owner.
Ten 1,000 franc bank notes, re-
presenting the savings of a woman
who lived at Nanterre, near Paris,
wore hidden by her in an old en-
velope, which was placed in a
drawer. In a moment of forgetful-
ness the envelope found its way in-
to a dust bin.
In the morning the ragpickers
turned out the bin, but tossed aside
the tattered envelope without in-
sfection. Some carters happened
to pass that way. They picked up
the now mud splashed pieco of pa-
per. ono remarking to the other:
"Perhaps there is a fort•"ne in-
side !" Thoy drew out the notes.
'Ms is some fool's pleasantry,"
they said; so by way of revenging
themselves on the unknowa joker
and not believing the notes were
genuine they toro them to pieces
and threw them aside.
Two market women came along
shortly afterward. With the
shrewdness of their class they re-
cognized the scattered pieces of
paper and gathered them up and
took them to the Commissary of
Police.
There they were pieced together
and it was found that none was
missing. Two hours later the notes
so curiously discovered were re-
stored to their owner.

"Well," grumbled Jones, '1

skipper. "Where hf.ve you sailed

"Australia, sorr."
"\Vell, you roust bring me your

The character was obtained, and
as the Hibernian was presenting it
another sailor came up, saying he
wished to join.
"What line were you on before 1"
"Cunard, sir."
"What country?"
"English."
"All right. Go forward."
Shortly after, as the two men

made for the captain's cabin.
"Come in," responded the com-
