Brain culture without heart culture will int-refere with the beauty of a woman's face, but where heart culture keeps pace with brain-culture it will much enhance it. As culture advances, a person's ideas change, and these largely depend upon SELF CULTURE. Brain culture without heart culture will interfere with the beauty of a woman's face, but where heart culture keeps pace with brain culture it will much enhance it. As culture advances, a person's ideas change, and these largely depend upon a person's education and upon one's conception of heart. Rev. D. B. Jackson, pastor of the Resililh Baptist Church in this city he returned from Marion. Ark, whither gone had gone in response to a telegram announcing the serious illness of his father. He reports him much better. Great Revival services are now on at Resililh, with much success. Re-union of the Soldiers of Christ on next Sunday Tame "The Flase." Rev. K. Caruthers of Franklin, Tenn. Who has an establishment will assist. When weextricate ourselves from our selves, and standing off look upon the complexity and volcanic tendencies of ouratures we entirely realize the newcessity of a strong controlling power for this "city of conflict" within us. An excitable temper is one of the most unruly subjects, and, when the reins are loosened, it responsible for words and actions which shame us in cooler moments, and cause the better qualities of heart and mind to experience a sense of degradation. Call up Blue 375 when you have any news. The aula singers of the Famous Metro-politan Baptist school choir gave a grand concert last Monday evening at the PleasantGrn church, Rev. E. M. W.仁.

No one can be beautiful without a cultured soul and high and noble thoughts. All study that leads to an appreciation of the higher arts, must add to a person beauty. Observation teaches that ideas differ just as much along these lines as they do in art and music. Ex-Lient S. Jones, of Laweenworth, Eats, passed through the city this week for Chicago, where he will spend a few weeks with old friends. This is all a positive demonstration of the truth that it is highly essential to establish within the precincts of our inner being a o ur o inquiry, with methods of arraignment for weaknesses, unholy thoughts, and suge-ted sins.

Before taking these diseases she was as perfect and as healthful a child as any. But after the fever had left her she searched knee a well day and the fever caused paralysis in her right leg. It drew her foot up into a cramped position and caused her leg to dwindle down until it looked like a straight stick We doctored it for about 4 years and it did not get any better. Then Aunty Williams began rubbling it and doettering it and begin to get her right away. She is not well vet but we hope she will be. She keeps improving right along though.

AMERICAN LIGHTNING'S ODD CAPERS. The romantic have found food for contemplation in deaths by sudden strokes of lightning, in which they have conceived that a higher power visited upon the heads of sinful mortals a just punishment for offenses for which the human code had no penalty provided. One of these was where a few years ago a young girl descended from the Indian race, educated at Carlisle, and of refined tastes and lovely disposition fell in love with a young missionary who had gone to her tribe's residence to preach the gospel. The beautiful girl was a member of his congregation and he showed that he reciprocated her love, but it was developed that he considered the trace of Indian blood in her veins a bar to their marriage. The girl killed herself and a few nights afterward there came a severe thunder-storm, at the cessation of which the young minister was missing. Later his dead body was found on the grave of the girl, where he had been struck down by a bolt of lightning. The collectors of the curious stories of the freaks of lightning have preserved the account of the case where what appeared to be a ball of fire was observed rolling along the ground and finally into a shed where several pigs were penned. With comparatively slow and deliberate movements the ball traversed the inclosed rails, skirted the sides of the pen, and was pursuing its so far harmless way along the floor when an overcurious pig concluded to investigate it more closely by rubbing his snout against it. At the touch of the pig's snout the shed on that side flew into small bits and the porcine student of electricity and his half-dozen brothers and sisters were instantly killed. CHANGING A ROSE'S COLOR. Chemist's Scientific Knowledge Brings Climbers to His Love Affair It was a lover who lately discovered this trick. When he was not with his lady love he was studying chemistry and experimenting, and one day recently he found an easy method of changing the natural color of flowers. He was in the habit of presenting his sweetheart with bouquets of beautiful roses which grew in his garden, and a few hours after he made the discovery he took her half a dozen of the choicest white roses and told her that she could learn through them whether he was really in love with her or not. "If you and I are destined for each other," he said, "these white roses will become crimson within five or six hours from now. Gradually but surely they will change color, and you regard the change not only as indication that the flowers are delighted to be worn by you, but also as an infallible sign that happiness is assured to us in the future." Sure enough before the eyes of the wondering maiden the roses changed color and were crimson at sunset that evening. Marvelous indeed the change seemed to her, for how could she know that the roses were originally red and that her lover had simply bleached them white by holding them for some time over a pan filled with smoking sulphur before he handed them to her? At Monte Carlo. The principality of Monaco is surrounded on all sides by the French Department of Alps Maritimes, except to the south, where it borders on the sea. Its total area is eight square miles and its present ruler is Prince Albert of Monaco, who succeeded his father in 1899. It is picturesquely situated, and many visitors are attracted by the mildness of its climate and its beauties as a health resort, but the main attraction to the great majority of its visitors is the legalized gambling at the Casino of Monte Carlo. The Casino Company, out of the profits of the gambling has practically to bear the cost of spiritual and temporal government for the Principality, and, in addition $250,000 annually to the Prince for the concession. Last year the company paid $45,000 for grants to bishop, clergy, convents and educational institutions, and $30,000 in gifts to charity. They also paid $100,000 for army, police, law courts and expenses of government. Armore 1 Automobiles. The progress of military automobiles in Germany is indicated by the fact that the minister of war has lately ordered a series of machines which will carry two small Maxim guns, protected by nickel-stel plates. He has also ordered a series of automobile breaks which will be provided with tables. These breaks will be used by the general staff and the officers may thus consult their maps or papers en route, spreading them upon the tables, a series of light vehicles, or voitrettes, is also to be constructed, to be used on the firegrounds for ascertaining the results of the cannon shot. In Austria-Hungary, the minister of war is having a series of automobiles constructed. Busy Little Women. Even the highest class of Japanese women have their household duties to perform, and, no matter how rich the family, Japanese girls are brought up to be able to sew, cook, and attend to their homes. The higher class women never go to market. The market comes to them—that is, the dealers call and offer wares for sale at their customers' doors. Nearly all Japanese women make their own clothes; at all events, even the very richest embroider their garments themselves. They are very economical little dress-makers, and do much planning, cutting, and basting and making over. LEAD ON HYPNOTISM. The use of hypnotism as a means of legal investigation has just been sanctioned by the Ghent court of appeals in regard to a case known as the "Borreman trial," which it was found impossible to elucidate by means of ordinary evidence. It appears that in the course of certain celebrations held at Alost in June, 1899, M. W. Borreman, a merchant of that town, was seriously injured, and as a result upward of twenty arrests were made. Four of the defendants were fined and one condemned to two months' imprisonment, while damages were awarded to the plaintiff. An appeal was subsequently made on behalf of defendants, and a new trial has been in progress for some time past. One of the principal points put forward by M. Borreman was that as a result of the attack made upon him, he suffered from deafness. Medical examination having failed to give satisfactory evidence as to the degree of deafness from which he suffered, its cause, or the probability of curing it, three experts who had charge of the case, and among whom is a professor of Ghent university, submitted that in order to elucidate these points they should hypnotize M. Borreman. The latter having given his consent, the court has just sanctioned the carrying out of the proposal. This is the first time in Belgium that the use of hypnotism has been sanctioned for judicial purposes. The result is awaited with considerable interest. BEAUTIFUL OCEAN ANEMONES. Specks on Shells Are Beautiful Living Ocean Flowers Along the entire Atlantic coast there lie, day after day, tide after tide, clam shells, small shells, and stones with dirty, silimy, wart-like specks on them. Rub them, and nothing is left except a disagreeable viscid fluid. Yet all these specks are living ocean flowers, the wonderful sea anemones that vie with land flowers in beauty and with the oddest of land animals of oddity. Pick up one of these dirty shells with the warts on it and place it carefully in a pool of clear, cold sea water, where the tide can reach it to keep it pure, and you will see a marvelous thing. So slowly that the motion is almost imperceptible the wart will lengthen itself out just the least bit. Then its apex begins to swell, and finally a sharp eye can see that it is opening. Suddenly petals commence to sprout from it. You are beholding the growth of a perfect sea blossom. Bit by bit the delicate, rich-tinted petals grow. It may take five minutes, it may take an hour, according to circumstances, before the flower is open. But it is worth waiting for, even if one has to wait an entire day. These petals are of every shape and of every size and of every color. Some anemones are exactly like splendid dahlias when they are fully open. Others are of a delicate texture and tint like purple asters. The Smallest Pony on Earth: The smallest colt in the world is owned by G. H. Hackstead, a blacksmith living near Ludlow, Ky. It weighs twenty-four pounds and is only twenty-two inches tall. The colt was foaled on a farm near Fountain Ferry Park. Its owner considered it worthless and sent it to Mr. Hackstead. At birth it only weighed about twelve pounds, although it was perfectly formed. Since that time it has grown very slowly, and for the last two months there has been almost no change in its height and weight. If it stops growing now there is no doubt that it is the smallest horse in the world. The colt is perfectly healthy and is well formed and strong. Its dam was a mustang pony of average size and its sire was a good-sized horse. The cross should have produced a medium-sized horse. The colt is good-tempered, although very frisky. It has been taught to follow its master like a dog and is very affectionate. The freak has attracted much attention since it has been on exhibition. Pope's Opinion of Woman's Clothes. The Pope has recently manifested a preference in regard to ladies' apparel over and above the strict regulation in regard to ladies who are received by the holy father at the Vatican. A piece of the pope was about to be married, and her distinguished relative took so great an interest in her trousseau as to stipulate that the young lady should only have white, blue or black gowns, adding that these were the three colors most becoming to young girls, "Gray and brown," remarked his holiness, "are only suitable for old women, and I do not like any other colors. Possibly the pope prescribed white because it is the symbol of purity, blue because it is the color dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and black because it is the time-honored hue of dress for outdoor wear for Spain and Italy.-Pall Mall Gazette. The Value of a Mixed Disc One of the most notable exemplars of peculiar dietary customs is an American army officer of good physique, who, in several years of exacting service at an out-of-the-way Western post, subsisted entirely on "canned goods." It was his custom to open cans at hapazhare, a single can for each meal; whether the contents were fish, fowl or flesh, vegetables or fruit, he ate that and nothing more, and he lives to tell the tale. But he was always active, physically and mentally, except when asleep, and he breathed fresh air twenty-four hours of every day.—Saturday Evening Post. BARBERS WHO MAKE MONEY. Homes Get Large Tips. The itinerant barber of today who corresponds to the early idea of this personage by going in their homes and not awaiting them in his own or his employer's shop, is by no means a figure of the past in New York, but proppers here still, says the New York Sun. These barbers are working who have acquired a following of their own and find customers enough who want to be shaved at home to insure them a living. They are able with a limited number to get along, as the expense involved is not great. There is, for instance, no rent, and this makes it possible for a barber to succeed with a more limited number of patrons than might otherwise be thought necessary. The number of these men has greatly increased during the past years and they represent the barbers who are fearful of undertaking the responsibility of their own shops and are yet desirous of being more independent than the ordinary employee. The most successful of these barbers are usually more desirably placed than their employers. They have no responsibility and earn a regular income as well as being treated with consideration by their bosses, who are always anxious to keep such men. The itinerant barber who serve their clients at their own homes are able to do this at only a slight advance on the usual amount. Sent out from the shops they receive four times as much as would be asked in them. THE CELL OF NOTABLES. Occupied by Earl Russell, Stead and Edmund H. Yates. In connection with the cell of Halloway jail where Earl Russell served his sentence for bigamy it is said that it was formerly occupied by the English journalist, W. T. Stead, and the novelist, Edmund H. Yates. The affairs in which they were engaged, although they caused a tremendous sensation at the time, are now almost forgotten. Stead, it may be remembered, was largely in the eye of this country about six years ago as the author of a book, "If Christ Should Come to Chicago," that was regarded as so blasphemous the big news companies refused to handle it. In 1884 Stead created a remarkable commotion by alleging that English society was permitted by the most horrible immorality. A body of gentlemen, composed of some of the most eminent in the kingdom, sifted his charges and the result was that new laws were proposed and passed regulating the subject matter of his allegations. In proving him, however, Stead was guilty of a technical violation of the law, and for this he had to undergo prison detention for three months. The offense for which Yates was imprisoned took place in 1874 and consisted of an alleged libel in his newspaper, the World, on the Earl of Lonsdale. While not the writer of the article himself he refused to divulge the name of his author and so subjected himself to penalty. A Wonderful Chinese Temple A temple to reach which it may be to climb up 6,000 stone steps, is to be found in China, on the top of the holy mountain, Tai-schan, which is about 6,000 feet above Taingzufan, and the distance somewhat over sixteen miles. About a mile north of the city walls is a gate leading to an avenue several miles in length, lined with temples, convents, holy shrines, and thousands of beggars. The real ascent begins at a stone portal at which, according to its inscription, the great Confucius himself halted and turned back 2,600 years ago, not having had the strength to climb the 6,000 stone steps leading to the top. These Tai-schan stairs are by far the highest in the world, for, taking the number of steps in one story of an ordinary dwelling to be twenty, the number of Tai-schan steps equals 300 stories. After climbing the 6,000 steps the visitor passes through the Gate of Heaven and stands on the large plateau at the summit, which is covered with numerous temples and stone monuments. British Cabinet Wages The annual "wages bill" of the Brit-ish cabinet is no light sum—at present it nearly reaches £100,000; or, to be exact, it amounts to £93,550. Of the cabinet as at present constituted the best paid is the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, who receives £20,000 a year; the lord chancellor comes next with £10,000, and the Irish lord chancellor's salary is £8,000. Seven ministers—respectively stationed at the foreign, colonial, war, India, treasury and home offices, and the chancellor of the exchequer—are paid £5,000 each, which is the standard salary for a secretary of state; while the first lord of the admiralty has £4,500. The remaining eight members of the cabinet are each given £2,000 per annum. The offices of the Irish chief secretary and of postmaster-general are respectively rated at £4,425 and £2,500. Wiles of a Poacher. The otter, used by Scottish poachers, is one of the most deadly fishing instruments known. On some waters it is far more effective than a net. It may be described as a water-kite, which serves to take out over the water a line bearing fifty or more flies. The otter itself is a floating piece of board, leaded along one edge to keep it upright. The poacher walks along the side of loch or river, letting out the fly-decorated line as he goes, the otter board gradually working out toward the center. An enormous area of water is fished at one time, and numbers of fish are killed. CITIZEN How Petroleum Is Refined. How Petroleum Is Refined. The refining of petroleum is a process of distillation, in which it is separated into several marketable products. There are two methods of distillation, known technically as "in vacuo" and "cracking." In the first the petroleum is distilled in a partial vacuum, and in the second, with superheated steam. This process receives its name from the cracking sound of the steam as it enters the undistilled petroleum. Ideal City Will Not Be Noisy. It is safe to conclude, says the New York Tribune, that the ideal city of the future will be less noisy than the average city of to-day. Street cries of ear-splitting shrillness and all sorts of tumultuous sounds will be moderated by the next generation, if the present municipal rulers do little or nothing to abate a grievous nuisance. New Yorkers are the most patient people ever known. But some day they may break bounds. Thoroughly British. Hicks—"Did you ever see anyone so uncompromisingly English as Perkins?" Wicks—"No, and I never saw anyone with any pretension to style make such a ridiculous breach of good form as he did yesterday. He appeared in full dress at 2 o'clock in the afternoon." Hicks—"That's all right from his standpoint. It was after 6, London time, you know."—Catholic Standard and Times. A Monument for Napoleon Ex-Mayor Walbridge, of St. Louis, spoke on Missouri day at the Buffalo exposition July 2. He gave special attention to the coming celebration in St. Louis of the Louisiana purchase and announced the intention to raise a monument of Missouri granite to Napoleon, who ceded the territory to the United States.-Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and Chronicle. Salt as a Medicine: Salt is considered one of the most useful medicines. Rheumatic people find great benefit in a glass of cold salt water taken regularly before breakfast. Falling hair is often arrested and a new growth insured by the daily application of strong salt and water, with considerable amount of friction, either with the finger tips or hair brush. Belts and Their Buckles The greater number of belts are shaped, and white calf and patent leather are among the best. The harness buckle is the buckle for these belts. Occasionally there is a buckle that is covered. Some of the belts have buckles on either side of the front and open at one of them. Suede and velvet belts are studded with metal. Become Your Own Master "There is no fun in working for others when you are able to set up in business on your own account," said Andrew Carnegie in a recent interview. "Always try to become your own master; that is my advice to every young man starting in life. Don't remain a servant all your days if you can help it." E;g Lemonade. Dissolve one cup of sugar in one pint of water, add the juice of four lemons. Beat the yolks of four eggs until light colored and creamy, and then the whites until stiff. Mix them oohly, add the lemon water and one pint of fine chipped ice. Add more sugar if needed. Above Suspicion. On being informed that a member of his race had been sentenced to the penitentiary for forgery, Brother Dickey exclaimed: "Dat's what coffes er dis yer edication. Thank de good Lawd I never could read or write, en what's mo', I never will!"—Atlanta Constitution. Indian Grl to Be Lawyer Wah ta-wass, the full-blood Indian girl who is preparing to enter Radcliffe College, Cambridge, Mass., is at present employed as a typewriter and stenographer in the office of a Boston lawyer and does her studying for her examinations at night. Diameter of the Earth Although the diameter of the earth has been roughly known for many years, it has only lately been accurately ascertained, after thirty years labor and a cost of $500,000. It is 7.928 miles at the equator and 7.899 from pole to pole. A Flat 300 Feet High The largest plant in the world is probably the giant sea weed, called by scientists nereocystis. This plant often grows to a height of 300 feet. It grows around the South Sea Islands, where the natives use it for rope. Women as Lapdaries Women in the Philippines, at least in the island of Luzon, are showing wonderful skill as lapidaries and gem-setters. Their taste and workmanship are far in advance of the powers of men. Sea Depths Are Cold. Atmospheric sharps say that even at the equator the average temperature of the sea at the depth of a mile is but 4 degrees above freezing point. Integrity Baffles Dupileity Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity than straightforward and simple integrity in another. DRY CREEK LOGAL3. Red Mike's saloon was raided last night and ten gallons of whisky and a caddy of Willow Twist tobacco was stolen. The fact that the Three Leaf Temperance club held a late session last night may furnish Mike a clue. Bill Feverdrops was released from the city jail this morning on the promise that he would behave himself and help his wife do the washing. Bill is a rattling good fellow when he is sober, but it is hard to catch him that way. The Carrie Nation society held its second meeting in the rear of Bill Ax-maker's hardware store last night. The meeting was opened with prayer and closed sine die. This final action was taken owing to the high price of hatchets in Dry Creek. Joe Smith lost a valuable dog Monday. It was thought at first that someone had given the dog poison with malicious intent, but a post-mortem examination disclosed one of Mrs. Smith's breakfast biscuits in the dog's stomach. Joe has our sympathy. The Buzzard gives divine notice right here, once for all, that no more free church notices will be published in these columns unless a ticket to the whole performance accompanies the copy. We are down on begging societies and religious lotteries anyway, and we don't propose to be a willing accomplice to the game unless there is something in it for us. Sam Lander, of Coyote Gulch, was in town yesterday, the first time since he buried his mother. Sam hadn't been here two hours until he was fuller than a bath sponge and he insisted on shooting the ears off of a gentleman from Omaha. Sam was finally chased out of town by the marshal, and as we go to press some of the boys are trying to coax the man from Omaha to come out from under the meeting house. A box of dried up cake from the feasting boards of the Hodges-Blatz wedding reached this office two days after the charming Miss Blatz had thrown herself away by marrying Tom Hodges. If Tom thinks he can buy space in this paper and reinstate himself in our innocent affections by sending us a box of cullings from his table, he's mistaken. He was afraid to invite us to the wedding because he knew we used to be sweet on the girl he film-flammed into marrying him. The bride has the sympathy of the entire community.—Dry Creek Buzzard. STAGE WHISPERS. "Tsar Foris," a new play by Count Tolstot, will soon be staged at Nijni Novgorod. Francis Wilson has in view a plan to revive all his old-time successes next season and this is being discussed now by his managers. Sybil Sanderson is giving a series of concerts at Budapest, after which she will sing at the Wintergarten, Berlin, and then return to Paris. It has been settled that R. D. McLean and Oddett Tyler will be under the management of W. G. Smyth next season, and they intend to make at least two elaborate Shakespearean productions. Sadie Martinot will soon begin a starring tour in "Sapho," under Louis Nethersole's management, and supported by Olga Nethersole's company. Next season Miss Martinot will star in a new play by Clyde Fitch. James K. Hackett is going to play next season Victor Mape's drama, "Don Caesar's Return," which Richard Mansfield put in rehearsal last autumn, but subsequently shelved because of his revival of "King Henry W." Mrs. H. C. De Mille and Harrie Ford have been at work during the winter on a new play for Richard Mansfield, founded on the life of Rebrandt. Last summer these authors went to Holland in order to study the history and atmosphere of their subject. HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS. Colored tissue paper is better than white for wrapping up laces and ribbons to be laid away. White Old-Time Surgery. A grim souvenir of an old-time war was on view in a cutter's window in the east end of London recently. It is an ebony-handled saw, which, according to the inscription on a brass plate attached to the instrument, was used by a surgeon of the British army to amputate the limbs of wounded soldiers at Blenheim, Malplaquet and Ramallies. Banner Illinois Corp Counties. Very few people, pe-shaps, are aware of the fact that in the counties of Coles, Douglas and Moutlite, in Illinois, three-fourths of all the broom corn used in the world is produced. The amount used in the whole world is 35,000 tons, of which 27,000 tons are grown in these counties. Too Good a Target Hitherto the regiments of the Highland Brigade which have worn the kilt have presented an admirable mark for bullets by season of the dark tartan of which the national costume is made. Orders have been now issued that all Highland corps are in future to wear a khaki anon in front. "What is the chief food of the people of India?" asked a teacher in a London school the other day. "Famine" promptly answered a little girl, who had apparently been reading the papers. MERICAN CITIZEN PUBLISHING AND PRINTING CO.

When Lady Blessington sent D'Orsay to complain of some delay on the part of her publishers, Otley & Saunders, he used very high language. A dignified man in a high, white neckcloth, who is listening to him, said: "Count D'Orsay, I would sooner lose Lady Blessington's patronage than submit to such personal abuse."

He has original manuscripts of the code of Justinian the Great, emperor of Rome, written in the latter part of the fifth century. He also has original manuscripts of the annals of C. Cornelius Tacitus, the Roman historian, written in Greek, about the middle of the sixth century. The Famous "Passion Play." Already arrangements are being made by the tourist agents to conduct parties to Oberammergau this year, the famous "Passion Play" having been fixed to commence on April 24. It will last as usual, till the end of September. Since 1633, with only slight remodeling this mystery or miracle performance has been performed by village peasants in the Bavarian highlands every ten years. Emperor William and Big Sister Emperor William and His Sister. The Queen and he Empress Frederick have succeeded in bringing about a full reconciliation between the Emperor William and his sister the Duchess of Sparta, who spent a few days at Potsdam with the Emperor and Empress before she left Germany the other day on her return to Greece. The Duchess of Sparta was formerly the Emperor's favorite sister; but her sudden and unexpected "conversion" to the Greek church "infinitely exaperated his majesty and he has since been on the coldest terms. No Use for It. Uncle Zebulon, from one of the back townships, was on a visit to his nephew in the big city, and the two had gone to a restaurant for dinner. They had given their order and were waiting for it to be filled, when the younger man, who had been glancing at a paper that lay on the table, said: "By the way, uncle, did you ever have cerebro-spinal meningitis?" "No," replied Uncle Zebulon, after a few moments' mental struggle with the question, "and I don't want any. I'd ruther have fried tiger and bacon any day." Duty on a Mouse Uncle Sam is a stern stickler for form, and the amount of red tape employed in the custom house is really remarkable. It was demonstrated the other day that not even a tiny mouse can creep into our domains from foreign shores without paying duty, says the Philadelphia Record. A gentleman returning from Europe brought with him a pet white mouse, of which he had grown very fond. His "mouselets" was assessed at 20 per cent, which so enraged its owner that he vigorously protested. The case was appealed, and the board of classification of the board of general appraisers, after mature deliberation in solemn conclave, handed down a decision in which the protest was overruled. --- OUR GREAT OFFER To the Colored People of the World.

Jones It is asserted by the defenders of "trusts" that in almost every instance the formation of a trust has been followed by a decrease in the price of the product. This is true; but in most instances trusts have been formed to check the downward tendency of prices by interfering with the operation of the law of supply and demand. Probably there is no conspicuous instance of lower prices following the organization of a trust, in which the prices to the consumer would not have fallen still lower if the trust had not been formed. The greatest objection to trusts is that they are wrong in principle, in that they interfere with a fundamental law of trade. Only persons under thirty years of age were ready to accept promptly Harvey's great discovery of the circulation of the blood; and just as youth is most apt to respond to the touch of genius so men rare abilities seldom fall of the spirit of perpetual youth. Keeping young is simply keeping abreast with the times we are in. At the recent anniversary in New York City of the founding of Stevens Institute, ex-Mayor Howitt related this incident: "When I was a student at Columbia, base ball was our only game, and not such a detiment to a college as it is to-day. We lost most of our balls by knocking them over into a yard of a house in Barclay street. One day when we were short and could not get any base balls, I was appointed a committee of one to visit the house and ask for some. A gentleman appeared in answer to my question, and producing a basket containing twenty or thirty balls, asked if they were ours. I said that I supposed they were. 'Every one of them has broken a window in my house,' he rejoined. 'You may take them, and when you have all the 'dows in my muscle' to Hoboken In 1893 three Irishmen agreed to undertake a journey around the earth on foot for a jackpot of $150,000. Each one of the party deposited one-third of this sum in the Bank of Dublin, and it was agreed that whoever survived the trip and returned should receive the whole amount. In case all died a Dublin hospital was to become the beneficiary. On Dec. 24, 1895, they started cast across Europe and Asia Minor to Egypt, where they took passage for Australia. Their wanderings through the inner wastes of Australia proved the hardest trials of the journey, and the severity of this trip resulted in the death of two of the travelers. The third, Capt. Trevelyan, completed the voyage and won the money—New York Press. TRADE MARK REGISTERED 1892. U.S.PATENT OFFICE WASHINGTON, D.C.

The Absence of It. If there is any truth in the saying that happiness is the absence of all pain, mental and physical, the enjoyment of it can only be found in heaven. But so far as the physical is concerned, it is within easy reach; at least measurably so, as far as cure will go. The sum of human misery in this line is made up of greater or less degrees of physical suffering. The minor aches and pains which afflict mankind are easy to reach and as easily cured. There are none in the whole category, which if taken in time, cannot be cured. They must in some form affect the nerves, the bones, the muscles and joints of the human body. They are all more or less hurful and wasteful to the system. St. Jacob's Oil is made to cure them, to search out hidden pain spots, and to cure prompt in a pain remedial and lasting way. Very, very many have not known happiness for years till they used it, and very many are putting off cure and happiness because they don't use it. Choice of Evils. The experience of Mr. Washburn, who after being treated in Roosevelt hospital for acute rheumatism without success, started for his home on Long Island, was struck by lightning and completely cured, does not add materially to our exact knowledge either of rheumatism or lightning. It is a probable opinion, however, that people with or without rheumatism had better be struck by lightning than by an automobile—New York World. Mechanics in Midocean. The captain of a Norwegian tramp steamer recently replaced a broken propeller in mid-ocean in a very ingenious way. He had a nine-ton extra propeller on board, in accordance with a recently made rule of the marine insurance companies, and, having shifted his cargo forward until his vessel actually stood on her head in the water, with the propeller bearings exposed, he rigged up a timber raft and his crew removed the new one without a great deal of difficulty. Products of Crude Petroleum From crude petroleum are made kerosene, gasoline, naphtha, paraffin and vassle. A still heavier oil, left as a residue, is used for axle grease and the carbon is turned into sticks for electric lights. The sulphuric acid used for purifying the products of petroleum is recovered and turned into fertilizer for farms where there is too much phosphate rock, which is thus dissolved. To Lay Matting. A housekeeper who has made the experiment discoverers that matting may be sewed like carpet and put down better and easier than in the usual way with matting tacks. Undoubtedly this method would increase the wear of the matting if it were necessary to take it up often. One or two liftings of matting are apt to tear it unless the greatest care is used. Two Objections to Premises Two objections to Premises. Bishop Philpots of Exeter, England, was famous for his sharp sayings. One time, for example, he went to pay a visit at a country mansion situated on a small lake in Devonshire. "It's a beautiful place, isn't it?" asked a guest. " said the bishop, "but if it were mine I would pull down the house and lift up the pond with it. That would remove two objections."—Chicago News. An Incomplete House We run wild over the furnishings of a house; its furniture, carpets, hangings, pictures and music, and always forget or neglect the most important requisite. Something there should be always on the shelf to provide against sudden casualties or attacks of pain. Such come like a thief in the night; a spain, strain, sudden backache, toothache or neuralgic attack. There is nothing easier to get than a bottle of St. Jacob's Oil, and nothing surer to cure quickly any form of pain. The house is incomplete without it. Complete it with a good supply. THE CHEAPEST PAINT The economy in using Devoe ready paint is in results more than price. It covers more and lasts longer than lead and oil, two to one; ten to one of some paint. Use Devoe; and figure cost by the square yard, or year, not by the gallon; it's the cheapest paint made, figured that way. Ask the nearest dealer for Devoe; insist on having it.

Value of the Old Maid—Many Homes Are Made Happier by the Old Maid Whose Life Has Been a Sacrifice— Daring Effects in Furnishings. VALUE OF OLD MAIDS. Certain lives seem destined to exercise the noblest self-control and the most surprising self-effacement without adequate acknowledgment, says the New York Evening Post. The position is anomalous; the inclination set aside is only known to the heart which never permitted itself to speak its wish aloud and the work would fall from its high level of human endeavor if performed in the light of day, where it "could be praised of men." In many a home, that woman of varied endowment, the maiden aunt, plays her quiet role of unrecorded and most valuable service, and her beneficiaries are scarcely aware of her sacrifice of time or personal enjoyment, or of the check she has to put to her individual preferences or opinions in order to carry out the family rule, which often she does not approve or sympathize with. She is ever ready to take the helm when illness or absence forces the heads of the home to yield it to other hands. If she has an independent income, this boy goes to college, and that girl receives the musical education for which she longs. Too often, even in grateful young hearts, no inquiry is made as to what might have come to her single, and in some ways, lonely life, had she used the money to gratify herself. She is dear and good and generous—they fully understand that; but where she would have traveled, what she would have taken delight in possessing—books, pictures, a home which was her very own, in which to express herself—they do not think or dream of these. How could she be happier than she is? Beside a sickbed she keeps her close and tender watch, and when the mother, refreshed by sleep, made beneficently by her perfect trust in the care which supplements her own, returns to her post, she sees with unjealous eyes the joy with which the patient welcomes back the best-beloved. Never to be the best-loved, and yet gladly and cheerfully to fill all the offices in which many a brave and high-hearted woman serves her family, calls forth the very highest type of character and belongs to the noblest class of human endeavor. HOUSE GOWN Of light weight gray cloth, with bands of gold embroidery done on tan-colored cloth. The folded front is of liberty satin in pale shades of tan and rose. STRANGE PROFESSIONS ADOPTED BY WOMEN. Women bread winners have chosen strange careers for themselves in various parts of the earth. Their example may inspire others, if not to adopt like professions, to act upon the principle which guided them to choose the one thing they could do that was near at hand. For example, in Georgia a woman not only personally delivers mail over a 40-mile route, riding over the scantily settled region of Montgomery county thrice weekly during the entire year, but manages a large farm as well, doing much of the manual labor, such as ploughing, harrowing, sowing and harvesting, and supports by her energy and courage a family of four, relates the Utica Observer. Not 20 miles from Savannah there resides a widow who has for the last two years made more than a comfortable income as a government contractor, bidding for the removal of wrecks, anchoring of buoys, building of jetties and dredging. Few persons riding over the New London Northern railway are aware that the company employs the only woman traina dispatcher in the world. Her responsibility is great, her hours from 7 o'clock in the morning to 9 in the evening, her duties a continual nervous and mental strain. Recently the directors of the road complimented her upon her efficient service, and it is a pleasure to add she receives the same compensation paid the men occupying similar positions.

Those that are pleasing after use I often transplant with success to my city home. For example, two or three summers ago we rented a cottage in which the dining room was dull and dark," says the New York Evening Post. "I got a pot of white paint, together with the owner's consent, and painted the woodwork, the chairs, and table white, with the effect that the room became perceptibly brighter. If I could have changed the wall it would have been lighter still. "My city dining room had long distressed me because of its want of light and that autumn I boldly transformed it. The walls I had papered in a striped white paper, painted the woodwork white, and put a white linoleum on the floor. The furniture was too handsome to tamper with, for it is mahogany, in a simple colonial design, but the white background efficiently did the work of brightening the room to the most delightfully cheerful point." REVIVAL OF A ROMAN SCHEME. REVIVAL OF A ROMAN SCHEME. A great scheme, which at one time fired the imagination of the Romans and then was allowed to drop, is now about to be revived in a modified form. Eleanora Duse, the actress, and Gabrielle D'Anunzio, the famous writer, were the moving spirits in a project to erect on the shores of the Lake of Albano, above Rome, a great tragic theater, to be opened a few months each spring for the reproduction of ancient Greek and Roman plays, says the London Daily Telegraph. What spot more inspiring than that classic ground, little changed since it was trod by the feet of Cleero and Virgil, and what surroundings more perfect for inspiration than the oaks under which these great men sat and the lake on which they floated? CAN SHE DO IT AND LIVE. One of the most dangerous and thrilling feats ever attempted by a human being is scheduled to occur on Sept. 25 next, when Cora Beckwith, a slim English girl, who is now doing swimming feats in the Pan-American exhibition, will according to her own announcement, throw herself into the Niagara river, at the head of the Whirlpool rapids, in the firm belief that she will emerge at the other end alive and well. If she succeeds she will have accomplished what was never done before says the New York Telegram. Swimming experts declare she cannot make the trial and live. Cora Beckwith says she can. In Sumatra, if a woman is left a widow, immediately after her husband's death she plants a flagstaff at her door, upon which a flag is raised. So long as the flag remains unborn by the wind the etiquette of Sumatra forbids her to marry, but at the first rent however tiny, she can lay aside her weeds and accept the first offer she has.—Womanhood.

Washington, Ind., Sept. 234—There is at present, living at 106 East 15th street in this city, a most remarkable man. He is Rev. C. H. Thompson, and he came to Washington from Little York, Ind, a short time ago. Rev. Mr. Thompson spent many years of his long and useful life as a missionary among the Indians of the West. The great exposure and the drinking of so much bad water brought on Diabetes, and at Wagoner, Indian Territory, he was struck down while preaching. Physicians, one of them a Chicago specialist, pronounced his case hopeless. Dodd's Kidney Pills were recommended, and as a last resort he tried them. He was completely cured, and restored to good health and his case and its cure has caused a sensation among the physicians. The Sunset Bell.

Y., and twenty- one deputies, was taken to Auburn. ‘The prison is only about fifty yards from the depot. Awaiting the arrival of the train there was a crowd of about 200 people. Bither for fear of the erowd, which was not very demonstra- tive, or of the sight of the prison, Crolgose’ nerves gave out, and two deputy sheriff's were compelled prac- tically to carry the man into the pris- on, Inside the gate his condition be- came worse, and he was dragged up the stairs and into the main hall. He was placed in a sitting posture ‘on the bench while the handcuffs were heing removed, but he fell over and moaned and groaned, evineing the most abject terror. As soon as the handcuffs were unlocked, the man was dragged into the principal keepers’ office, ‘As In the case of all prisoners, the officers immediately proceeded to strip him and put on a new suit of clothes. During this operation, Czolgos2 cried und yelled, making the prison corridor ‘echo with evidence of his terror. ‘The prison physician, Dr. John Gerin, ex- amined the men and ordered his re- moval to the cell in the condemned row, which he will occupy until he is taken to the electric chair. The doctor declared that the man was suffering from fright and terror, but said that he was shamming to some extent ‘The collapse of the murderer was a surprise to everyone, En route from Buffalo he showed no indication of breaking down. He ate heartily of randwiches and stoked cigars when not eating. He talked some and ex- pressed regret for his crime. He said: “1 am especially sorry for Mrs. Me- Kinley.” He reiterated his former statement that he had no accomplices, fend declared that he never had heard of the man under arrest in St. Louis who claimed to haye tied the hand- Kerchief over his hand, concealing the pistol with which the president was shot. He says the handkerchief was not tied. He went behind the Temple of Music, arranged the handkerchief 50 as to hide he weapon and then took his place in the crowd. ‘Through Jailer “Mitchell, he sent this message to his father: “Tell him I am sorry I left such a bad name.” Tater in the day Czolgosz was in a rormal condition and seemed to have fully recovered from his collapse. ‘There are five cells for condemned amen in the prison, and Czolgosz was placed in the only vacant cell, so all fre now occupied. ‘Two Keepers are constantly on guard in the room, which is separate from the main pris- on, but, to guard against an attempt ‘en Czoigos2’ part to commit suicide, two more guards have been added, and one will constantly sit in front of Czolgose’ cell and will have a key, 50 that any attempt at self-destruction may be easily frustrated.

ARMOUR DEAD. er Kirkland Brooks Armour, president cf the Armour Packing company, and head of the extensive Armour inter- ests in Kansas City, died at his home at the corner of Thirty-fifth street and Warwick boulevard, of acute inflam- mation of the kidneys. His end was like his life, quiet, gentle and peaceful. For an entire day he had been slowly sinking. The last spark of conscious ness disappeared at about 10 o'clock in the morning. As the hours dragged slowly away it became painfully evi- dent to the anxious watchers about his bedside that he would never revive again. "At 5:55 o'clock in the evening there was a convulsive movement of the kind face which suffering had made so thin, and Mr. Armour’s life had faded away ito dreamless sleep. During all his long sickness Mr. Ar- mour continued to be hopeful, despite the fact that his physicians had told him that he would never again be strong enough to resume active busi- ness. A week ago, however, acute in- flammation of the kidneys arose, and he was then warned that he could reasonably hope to live only a few days longer. He received the sad news Hike a brave man, and expressed him- self as ready to go when the summons ceme, He had suffered so much that he may have looked forward to death as a welcome relief.

White in the Su- preme court. at Buffalo Thursday afternoon, The assassin took advan- tage of the opportunity to speak, but he confined himself to taking upon his own shoulders the blame for the great crime of having murdered the presi- dent of the United States. He advanced no reason in justification of his mon- strous deed. Not a word did he utter of anarchy, of his enmity to govern- ment or of the motives which prompt- ed him to the commission of his crime. Hall Cleared By Pollee. Greater crowds gathered for the sen- tencing of the assassin than came for any one session of the trial itself. Be- fore 12:30 p. m. a crowd had gath- ered in the corridor in front of Justice White's court room. By 1 p. m. the corridor was jammed. Capt. Regan then appeared on the stairs with a squad of 100 uniformed officers and cleared the hall, It was a case of first come first served after a line was formed, and the tickets of admission issued for the trial were worthless. It took less than ten minutes for the single file to fill the court room and then the doors were closed to be opened only upon the arrival of off- cials, counsel and others connected with the day's proceedings. Dramatic Scene In Court. In a hush that was like the silence of death Justice White pronounced the prisoner's doom. Physically tottering under the ordeal, but sustaining him- self by sheer force of nerve, the mur- derer heard the words of death pro- nounced, was shackled and quietly sub- mitted to be led away.

It was flushéd with the emotion it’ was costing him so much strength to master. As the prelimin- ary to the pronouncing of sentence many questions were asked by the dis- trict attorney. Czolgosz evinced the utmost willingness to answer all these questions, but his utterance seemed to smother in his throat. Lawyer Offers Ald. Tt was only after an effort that each reply was blurted out. As he stood his breast heaved, his eyes blinked rap- idly and once he almost reeled, so that ex-Judge Titus, his counsel, held up a hand to support him. He did not need the proffered aid, but straightened himselt up of his own effort. It was with a feeling of relief that the assassin heard the words, “Remove the prisoner,” pronounced by Judge White. He heaved a great sigh ‘as he was manacled and was led away. Tells of His Lite. “Stand up, Czolgosz, please,” said Mr. Penny, turning to the prisoner. Nudged by bailiffs, the prisoner stood up, the center of all attention in the crowded room. Tn answer to questions put by Mr. Penny, Czolgosz said under oath that he was born in Detroit, that he was educated in the common and church schools, that he had been a Catholic, that he’ was a laborer, and that he bad lived in Cleveland and in Buffalo. ‘The court clerk then asked the ques- tion for which all had been awaiting. Judge Titus asked that the prisoner be permitted to make a statement in exculpation of his act. Czolgosz leaned heavily on a chatr. He then spoke, saying he alone com- mitted the crime. No one had any- thing to do with his crime but himselt, he said. ‘Judge White—“Before the passing of sentence you may speak on two sub- jects. First, you can claim that You are insane; second, that you have good ‘cause to offer that Judgment should not be pronounced against you; third, that you wish a new trial.

After learning all the facts and clrcum- stances In the case, twelve good men have pronounced you guilty of murder in the first degree, You say that no other person abetted you in the com- mission of this terrible act. The pen- alty is fixed by statute, and it becomes my duty to impose sentence upon you. ‘The sentence of this court is that on October 28, at the place designated and in the manner prescribed by law, you suffer the punishment of death. “Remove the prisoner.” Considerable surprise was expressed that Justice White did not pronounce the customary appeal to the Almighty in concluding his sentence, “and may God haye merey on your soul.” ‘The court quit at the middle of the customary formula in pronouncing the sentence. eisai ska an ioe haan. ‘The hush as the solemn words were pronounced was like the silence of the tomb, For several moments the silence ‘was unbroken. The click of handcuffs put a startling termination on the strain, Like a great sob the emotion of the court room welled up and were lost in the shuffling of feet. The final seene of the historic trial was con- cluded. Manacled to detectives who had brought him into the court, the wssas- sin was conducted away. Between the wall of bailiffs, policemen and specta- tors the murderer passed. He looked not into a single eye. Justified by him- self or not, his deed lay heavy on his head. A groan of execration followed him down the broad court house stairs to the jail tunnel below. Pearls From the Philippines. Peatl is an important article _ot commerce in the Sulu archipelago.

UNITED STATES BIG _ FACTOR tig Contome Would te Rsisous to dee ‘man Trade—Friendly Aitiance tn Fax- or--Leading Authorities Advocate u Reciprocity Treaty with America that will tasure Justice For woth. The conference regarding Germany's ‘commercial policy, which has just be- gun in Munich,’ is well attended. Prof. Walter Lotz of the University of ‘Munich, who was the first speaker, took for his theme the question, “Is ‘An Increase in the Grain Duties Com- patible With the Welfare of Ger- many?” He answered in the negative, saying, in part: “The desire for dearer grain results ina desire for dearer meats, eggs, fruit, vegetables; iron, paper, yarn, building materials and more expensive dwellings. Export is possible only when the cost of production is cheap But the new tariff aims at a higher ost of production. While we oppose higher grain duties we must ask ou the other hand for a reduction of nu- merous industrial duties.” ‘The speaker uttered a word of cau- tion against a tariff war with the United States, pointing out that Ger- many would lose her markets in South Africa, Great Britain and eastern Asia. Prof. Schumacher of Cologne indorsed the doctrine of a moderate increase of duties. He said he thought a duty of 6 marks for rye and 6% for wheat would be justifiable. “Full reciprocity in customs questions must be secured [with the United States,” he observed. “Both Germany and the United States must bind themselves. We must un- conditionally abolish favoritism. ‘The seare of a tari war is exaggerated, ‘but Germany cannot fulfill every wish | of the United States.” MURDERER OF GIRL SUICIDES Surrounded In a Harn, College Professor paca he auaka pie Surrounded in a barn, but a few Ben ete cree oe nuteten Prof. J.
