Anybody can see that such pay cannot keep together the barest mahogany necessities of office furniture, to say nothing of the rent at home. A few cays before the brokers had to pass around the hat to help one of their number, and another precious seat was old at a figure that marked a new low record. If things go on in this way the problem of the unemployed in Wall street will become as tragic as any the city has had to deal with.

DANDIFIED OLD MEN. — T’ DUTY of old men to keep themselves dapper is urged by & Boston doctor in an article in the New York Medical Journal. For men past middle age, according to this adviser, Spruce appearance makes for health and long life. He would have the man of sixty or over keep up a course of massage, smooth out the wrinkles, coax his bair to grow, wear braces to -hold him erect, dress in the height of fashion, twirl a cane and even “employ harmless cosmetic measures to improve his appearance.” All of which, it is claimed, acts as a tonic not only directly through the sense of pride, but also indirectly “through the flattering comments which it arouses.” Dangerous, that last. Cleanliness, neatness and good taste in person and clothes are excellent at all ages. But they ought never| ‘ to become self-conscious—above all, not after fifty. Nothing is more sbeurdly fatuous than an elderly man who dresses himself hoping to be flattered. Petty vanities are bad enough in the young. They are doubly to be guarded against as the years advance. “No fool like an o'd fool” is as true to-day as it has been any time since the begin- ning of B.

So were his brother and the other youths who had adored Rose, And, with Amyas as their captain, they fitted eud an expedition to search the whole world for her.
