~ Sleeping for a “Sleeper.” | It was in a crosstown car at the rush hour, and as the conductor called the ferry terminus of the line there began a struggle of men and women, each one fighting for first place in the long string toward the boat already in the slip. There were two passengers who lingered in the car.’ One was a sleepy looking man who half reclined in a corner, taking up more than half his share of space and stolidly keeping a foot thrust half way into the aisle, where each passerby in turn stumbled over it and muttered comment accord ing to sex and temperament. Stand ing before him a girl, a shop girl by her appearance, awaited with subdued impatience to hunt a quarter she had lost while trying to make change with one hand, the other holding desperate ly to a high and greasy strap. She resigned herself unwillingly to a later boat, though it meant missing her train on the other side, and never even of sighing over a hard fate as she bent to search the dirty floor for her money. It was all in the day’s _work. The conductor, a good-natured fel low, came in and helped her, but there was no coin to be seen or felt in any dark corner, and at his final s w tough job, sure, but you're, up against it this time,” and the added informa tion that he must be starting back, the girl left the car,and joined the straggling line still winding toward the ferry. Then the conductor noticed the oth er passenger, and, giving him a little shove, said: “Wake up there. End of the line—you. Get out.” The man sat up straight and look ed about him. Then he lifted the foot which he had kept so persistently planted in the aisle, picked up a shin ing quarter from beneath it and grinned broadly at the -conductor as he dropped the money into his pocket. “OCthers.” Occasionally some well-disposed person, speaking of some worthy cause—a college, a hospital or a re form—says: “If I only had a million I would enjoy helping.” But not hav ing a million he gives nothing. Giving ought not to be confined to the rich; it is as necessary to moral growth as exercise is to the body. Selfishness leads one to spend money on himself—stinginess leads one to refuse to spend even for himself, while generosity leads one to share his means with benevolences which appeal to him. There are few who do not know the ileasure to be derived from giving to members of the family and to friends: the satisfaction is scarcely less when the gift is to un known recipients who come within the influence of some educational or charitable institution. Every heart should attach itself in some definite way to the world’s needs, and without waiting for great wealth or for death to set aside a part of each year’s income for the happiness and help of those less fortunate. “Others” is the word that is sometimes carved upon the hospital hearth; it is also the yjord that marks the crossing cf the boun daries of selfishness and man’s en trance unto fellowship with the oaiter world.—The Commoner. The Number of Postage Stamps. According to the Universal Standgrd Catalogue of the Postage Stamps of the World, the total number of il known varieties of postage stamps is sued by all the Governments of taie world up to the present time is 19,242.
