VOL. VI. M. M. MANGASARIAN. Every seat in the Grand Opera House was occupied last Sunday morning by hundreds of the most intellectual men and women of Chicago, who gathered within its walls to listen to Prof. Mangasarian deliver the first of a series of four lectures on "The Four Great religions of the World." The first lecture was devoted by Prof. Mangasarian to examining and comparing the sayings and the religions of Confucius and Zoraoster. In doing so he defined the problem of religion how it arises; races and religions their discords and harmonies; Zoroaster and his doctrines, the modern parsis, their late chism; th teachings of Confucius; the sacred writings of China and Persia; our soldiers and missionaries in China; the future of China; Christian and heathen, etc. The lecturer flung out among his hearers many beautiful and enobling sentiments and expressions which he culled from the teachings of Confucius and Zoroaster, it was clearly proven by him that the adherents and advocates of the Christian religion are at the present time adhering to the same rights, customs and ceremonies which were in vouge during the life of Confucius and Zoroaster. The first in the course of these lectures was highly instructive and greatly enjoyed by those who heard if, for Prof. Mangasarian is one of the most pleasing and fascinating speakers in this country and no one can fail in being charmed while they are engaged in drinking from his fountain of knowledge. This coming Sunday he will deliver the second lecture entitled "The Story of Buddha—the Earlier Religions of India." Those who wish to obtain good seats should go early, for Prof. Mangasarian begins promptly at 11 o'clock, and the public are cordially invited. COL. WILLIAM J. BRYAN AND THE JACKSON CELEBRATION. Tuesday night Colonel Bryan came on from his home in Lincoln, Neb., to attend the banquet tendered him by the Bryan League of Cook County in the Sherman House, and during the course of his speech the Colonel declared that henceforth he was out of the race as a presidential possibility, that two defeats as such had convinced him that as a private citizen he could do more to further his governmental ideas, therefore it his intention in the future, so he emphatically maintained, to devote his time and talent in editing and publishing his new paper The Commoner. Mayor Carter H. Harrison was master of ceremonies, and himself, Judge Dunne and the Hon. Samuel Alschuler were the other principal speakers. SINGULAR. The mightest powers are the the invisible, the intangible. For the idol we now worship, the unseen Spirit, we have a prevert. Opinion rules the world. For material tangible things to do our work, we have steam, electricity. But we still cling to a metal on which we have put a supposed value and enslave ourselves to that imaginary value. We reject the far more potent value, public credit, which is the power of all the people combined and put into circulation. We sneer at and despise this power when expressed on bills and notes of one, two, five or ten dollars' valuation, but adore and grasp for it on bonds for hundreds of millions. We could circulate the bills free of all expense. We prefer to hoard up the bonds at a mighty cost. What a paradox is man—a mixture of angel, jackass and demon combined. Col. William J. Bryan, expects to launch his newspaper, The Commoner, on or about the 20th of this month and through its columns the Colonel will set forth his views on all public question, and present the creed of the Kansas City platform. No traveling agents will be employed by Colonel Bryan and those dealing The Commoner can secure it through local agents. DEATH OF NATHAN M. FREER. The old time citizens of Chicago were greatly pained to learn of the death of Nathan M. Freer, which occurred at Pasadena, Cal., the latter part of the past week, where Mr. Freer had gone in quest of health. Mr. Freer was a good man and the world is much better by him having lived in it. He was kind, warmhearted and broad-minded and it has been said of him that every month he gave all of his income away, except the small amount he expended for himself. Many families in this city each month received checks from him which enabled them to keep the wolf from the door. In the death of Mr. Freer the colored people lost one of their best and greatest friends and benefactors, his purse strings were always open to aid them in any laudable way, only recently he donated a large sum of money for constructing and furnishing the Esther Freer Home in connection with Provident Hospital, and it will ever stand as a monument of his love and generosity towards the colored race. But, Mr. Freer did not give his money for the sake of having it heralded abroad like a great many wealthy men, for he was plain, simple and avoided everything which tickles the fancy of the vulgar and the lowbred. Upon the arrival of his remains in the city, which have been laid to rest at Graceland, all of Mr. Freer's employees headed by Chief Engineer Charles Welch, contributed magnificent floral offerings. P. D. Armour, the great cattle-king and packer, died late Sunday night in his 69th year. His funeral was largely attended Wednesday. Mr. Armour was one of the wealthiest men in the West and his death will be greatly felt in the financial world. There is one thing more than all others to be said in his favor, namely, he was very domestic in his habits and he did not spend his spare time at the clubs and drinking resorts, but he spent it at home with his family and friends. Last fall all the colored Republicans ripped, snorted and refused to be comforted unless President McKinley was re-elected, that in case he was again so honored he would favor reducing Southern representation in Congress; but it appears that the President, as leader of the G. O. P., has again thrown dust in the eyes of the Negroes for it seems that he has from the start been opposed to cutting down southern representation and the green horn Negroes who close their eyes and shout for Massa Bill McKinley can rest assured it will not be done. Down in the state of Georgia the legislature has refused to raise the age of consent, which is only ten years. It is something frightful to think that here in this supposed progressive nation that little girls only ten years old are permitted to be coaxed into cohabiting with men who are old enough to be their great-great-grandfathers. This is a demoralized state of affairs and it should bring the blush of shame to the cheek of every decent woman in Georgia, and cause them to hang their heads in sorrow to think that their little daughters are liable to be induced to part with their virtue and be debanched before they are out of their swaddling clothes. As the time approches to hold the city convention and nominate a candidate for city attorney, many lawyers have been mentioned in connection with the nomination and of that number so referred to none are better qualified for that honor and trust than John E. Owens, who is talented, a fine lawyer and brilliant. Mr. Owens is President of the 12th Ward Democratic Club, which is one of the largest and strongest clubs in the city, he is also President of the Young Democracy of Cook County and he is a splendid type of the younger element within the ranks of the Democratic party and the leaders of the party could not show their appreciation of this younger element any better than by nominating John E. Owens for City Attorney. HEW TO THE LINE. CHAIRMAN JOHN P. HOPKINS. Never in the history of the Democratic party of this state have its leaders and well-wishers become as deeply interested over the contest for chairman of the committee as they did in the contest which has just closed, and this means that there are plenty of Democrats who are greatly interested in the future success of the great party which was founded by Thomas Jefferson. From the beginning of the contest to its close, for the chairmanship, everything indicated to any one who stood far off and viewed the rivalry between the giants of Democracy, that ex-Mayor John P. Hopkins would in the end be selected to preside over the state committee, and those who were inclined to that opinion were C. W. EX-MAYOR JOHN P. HOPKINS. The New Chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Illinois. not disappointed for at the meeting of the state committee Wednesday morning at the Sherman House, without much opposition, Mr. Hopkins was honored with the chairmanship of the new committee, he having received eighteen votes as against nine for Doctor Walter Watson, and three for the Hon. Ben. T. Cable. Carl Boeschenstein succeeds Thomas Gahan as vice-chairman. W. L. Mounts, superceeds Fred E. Eldred as secretary. William B. Brinton will act as treasurer, instead of Hon. M. F. Dunlap. It only required thirty minutes to elect the new officers of the state committee. Chairman Hopkins in a neat speech thanked the members of the committee for the honor conferred upon him, and declared that he would endeavor to prove himself worthy of it he further stated that he belonged to no faction nor clique and in the discharge of his duty he would not know any hyphenated Democrats; but he would put forth his best efforts to extend Democratic influence and power, that in order to accomplish that object he earnestly desired the hearty assistance and active co-operation of all loyal Democrats throughout the state, that with a strong organization, with all Democrats putting their shoulders to the wheel and pushing, this state ought to and must be swung into line for Democracy in 1904. At the conclusion of Chairman Hopkins' address, which was well received, the members of the committee decided to adhere to the declaration and principles as embodied in the Kansas City platform. The vast majority of the leaders of the party seem to be well pleased as to the selection of the new officers, and while the writer does not claim to be a prophet, nor the son of a prophet, but in commenting upon John P. Hopkins The Broad Ax said, in its issue of July 28 last, that "Ex-Mayor John P. Hopkins has become a member of the Democratic State Central Committee of Illinois, and it has been intimated that he is liable to assume the chairmanship of the committee after next January. That the state committee is sadly in need of some new blood and active workers, that it is conceded that Mr. Hopkins is one of the best and most practical politicians and organizers in the country, that when he was in the traces before, the party won some of its greatest and most brilliant victories, and if he should get hooked up to the party machine it will do the same thing in the future." Without desiring to cast any reflections on the old management of the party we are still of the same opinion that the time was ripe to interject some new and active blood into the state committee, that there are thirty thousand colored voters in this state, that outside of Chicago no effort has been made by the state committee to induce one Negro to vote the Democratic ticket since John P. Hopkins ceased to be a member of the Demonstratic national committee. But in spite of the fact that the state committee did not send out any literature to the Colored voters nor make any effort to secure their votes hundred and hundreds of colored men throughout the state worked for the success of the entire Democratic ticket. In spite of all these cold facts between eight and nine hundred colored men right here in Chicago showed their loyalty to the cause of Democracy by turning out in the great Democratic parade. Nov. 3. 1900. Being perfectly familiar with Chairman Hopkins' friendship for the colored race we have every reason to believe that he will be more than willing to encourage Negro Democracy, if he does he can rest assured that he will have the warm support of The Broad Ax. NEWSPAPER LAW. Any person who takes the paper regularly from the postoffice, whether he is a subscriber or not, is responsible for the pay. The courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the postoffice, or removing and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. Mrs. Ida Hagans, whose husband died several weeks ago, lost one of her children by death this week. Mrs. Hagans has the sympathy of many kind friends in her double affliction. Mrs. Jacob Harris will within the next few day depart for Fredrick, Md., her former home, where she will visit with her relatives and friends for two or three weeks. Robert J. Roulston has resigned as president of the Old Hickory Club of the 30th ward, and as president of the Commercial League. He will cut quite a figure in the spring campaign. John E. Owens is serving as first assistant prosecuting attorney of Chicago, in the place of State Senator Thomas J. Dawson, which shows that Dr. H. S. Taylor has the greatest confidence in Mr. Owens as a first-class lawyer. Several weeks ago Robert Hagan died and left a wife and five children without much money and City Sealer James A. Quinn knew Robert Hagan and Mr. Quinn sent Mrs. Hagan twenty dollars to help her along. Mr. Quinn, you have a heart as big as an ox. Mrs. Jesse Sherwood, 6328 Harvard avenue, has been dangerously sick for some time, but Mr. Sherwood expects to have his lovable help-mate and companion up and around in a few weeks, as Mrs. Sherwood is rapidly regaining her health. Justice J. K. Prindiville works harder than any other justice in the city and he earns every dollar he receives from it. Justice Prindiville is fair-minded and he knows how to deal out justice without looking to see whether or not the parties appearing before him are black or white. Congressman George P. Foster did not get off for Washington, D. C., until Monday night and from now to the close of Congressman Foster's term in Congress he will endeavor to do everything in his power to advance the interest of all the people residing in his district, and Chicago. Undertaker Patrick McInerney, of McInerney Bros., 750 43d street, has for the past two weeks been knocked out with the grip, but he is recovering and if nothing happens within a very short time he will be strong enough to walk up to the trough and eat four square meals each day. Justice M. J. Quinn, who presides at the Hyde Park police station, is very considerate with those who are brought before him, charged with violating the laws. He will permit them to state their case and sometimes he will talk to them like a father before passing sentence upon them. Doctor Joseph Jeffrey and Mrs. Rev. William Gray addressed the Phyllis Wheatly Club Wednesday afternoon on "The Influence of Art in the Home." The talk of both the speakers was to say the least very edifying. They showed the necessity of beautifying our homes with art, and the value of living artistic and beautiful lives. Monday night the city council passed Alderman Thomas Carey's redistricting plan over Mayor Harrison's veto and Alderman Carey feels as happy as a big sunflower over the actions of the council. Mayor Harrison, it is intimated, will fight the redistricting plan, but it is thought that the courts will stand by the council and refuse to set their actions aside. Mayor Carter H. Harrison showed his good common horse sense by chosing Peter Kiolbassa to succeed Congressman James McAndrews as building commissioner. Mr. Kiolbassa has a clean record behind him as alderman, as West Town assessor and as city treasurer, and his long business training amply fits him to discharge all the duties of building commissioner. The holiday number of the Indiaapolis Freeman surpassed all its previous editions and at least that number of The Freeman should be read by every race-loving Negro, for it contains some excellent articles by many of the brainiest men of the race. The Freemann has certainly reached the highwater mark in the field of Negro journalism. Cyrus Field Adams, south town clerk and editor and publisher of The Appeal, has been appointed assistant registrar of the United States Treasury. The selection of Mr. Adams to fill that responsible position was a great surprise to that class of Negro politicians and would-be statesmen, who always delight in looking down with scorn and contempt upon the editors and publishers of Negro newspapers. Mayor Dennis J. Hogan attended the Democratic State Committee meeting Wednesday and wore a brand new white necktie. Mayor Hogan is acquainted with more politicians throughout this state than any other person and he planned and fixed up the slate which did not receive a crack while passing through the State Committee and Mayor Hogan feels jubilant over his triumph. Thursday night Mrs. Nannie Slater, 551 56th street, royally entertained a large number of her friends. The supper which was served was simply elegant It consisted of roast turkey and other delicacies, ice-cream, cake and several kinds of wine. As an entertainer Mrs. Slater has no superior. Miss Eva Slater, Mrs. Christie, Mrs. Day, Miss Mitchell and Mrs. Slater rendered piano selection. Alderman Charles Werno, who does not favor monopoly, has formulated a measure and succeeded in having it passed, authorizing the city purchasing agent to buy all the cloth for the policemen and firemen, which will relieve them from the necessity of paying Work Bros. a double price for this cloth, for no other reason than that they have a pull with several grasping individuals. Germany, the fatherland, the home of science, where the cure of disease and the preservation of the human body are leading studies among its great doctors, sends to America, after years of research and experiments by its most eminent scientific physicians, a new medicine, made from rare herbs and vegetables, that is going to be a welcome visitor to thousands of American homes. Every other person in the world is somewhat hampered in life by an indisposition of the body. Ether the eye is dull, the brain tired, the feet slow, the digestion sluggish, the face drawn and wrinkled, the back weak. The new remedy, "Longavita" is the perpetual fountain of youth.

Teacher—"Johnny, can you tell me the size of a birdshot?" Johnny Wise—"It depends on the size of the bird before it is shot." "Oh, mamma!" exclaimed 4-year-old Flossie, as she observed the moon in its second quarter, "come and look at the moon; half of it is pushed into the sky and the other half is sticking out." "Did they sing any pretty songs at Sunday school?" asked a mother of her little 4-year-old daughter upon her return home. "Only one," replied the little miss. "It was something about Greenland's ice-cream mountains." Tommy, aged 5, had been busy whittling and managed to raise a blister on his hand which caused a slight break in the skin. Running to his mother, he showed it to her and said: "Mamma, I guess I'm beginning to wear out." Papa—"Well, Willie, have you been a good boy today?" Small Willie—"Did you ask mamma?" Papa—"Why should I ask her? Don't you know whether you have been good or not?" Small Willie—"Yes, but mamma's idea of goodness differs from mine, and I don't want to go back on anything she says." KINDS OF NUTRIMENTS. The bones and teeth are largely made up of mineral matter, while phosphorus is a food for the brain. The food of the poor generally contains too little protein, while that of the rich contains too much. Fats are furnished by fat meats, butter, vegetable and animal oils, etc., and are the principal supply of heat to the body. People of sedentary habits should avoid eating fats, as it furnishes an excess of material over the demands of the body and burdens it with the labor of getting rid of it again. The proteids differ from fats and carbohydrates in containing nitrogen. Eggs, cheese, wheat, lean meat, etc., supply the proteids from which the muscles and tissues of the body are largely nourished. The proteids have been called "muscle formers," and they alone form the basis of all nitrogenous tissues, such as blood, muscle, tendon, while all the nutriments share in the formation of fat, and serve to maintain heat and yield energy. Carbohydrates, which supply energy are sugar, starch and woody fiber. Vegetable foods are nearly all rich in carbohydrates, which the body changes into fat and consumes for fuel, while meats abound in protein. Beans and oatmeal are also rich in protein, while fat pork has very little. PERSONALS. The king of Italy has granted permission to Capt. Bresci, brother of the murderer of King Humbert, to assume his mother's malden name. One of the first things Winston Churchill did on reaching Boston was to make a tour of the old book shops. He has a hobby for old books and while in this country has gathered up several rare ones. Speaker Henderson is said to be dissatisfied with the portrait for which he sat last year. The face, he thinks, is a good likeness, but he objects that the artist has put a man's head on a boy's shoulders. With the death of Edgar Brehm, youngest son of the famous naturalist, the family has become extinct. Mr. Brehm was 65 years old. President Seelye of Smith College has been granted a year's absence from his academic duties and will go abroad. He expects to return to this country in April. Edmond Rostand, the famous French novelist, owes his poor health largely to his hard work. He writes nearly all the day and far into the night. Elimperor William of Germany drinks none but Mexican coffee, and a year's supply is sent to him regularly after each harvest from a plantation in Michoacan. There has been placed on the walls of the federal building in Boston a portrait of General John M. Corse, the union commander at the battle of Altoona Pass, Ga., where the phrase "Hold the fort, I am coming," originated. Captain G. M. Lambson of the United States fish commission has sailed from San Francisco on the cleaner Siarra for New Zealand with a cargo of 500,000 live salmon egg, a present from the United States government to the New Zealand government. Will promulgate and at all times uphold the two principles of Democracy, but Parliament, Protestants, Knights of Labor, Indians, Mormons, Republicanans, Priests, or any he also can have their say, so long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed. The Brood Ax is a newspaper whose platform is broad enough for all, ever claiming the dictorial right to speak its own mind. Local communication will have attention; the only on one side of the paper. One Year.....$1.00 Five Months.....1.00 **Overliving rates made known on application.** **From all communications to** JULIUS P. TAYLOR, Editor and Publisher. France has decided that all the troops in the colonies shall henceforth be armed with weapons similar to those of the home army. The number of marine disasters during the year just closed is smaller probably than ever before. An official of the New York Maritime Exchange thinks this is due to the fact that sailing vessels are disappearing, steam craft being better able to take care of themselves when in peril. Perhaps the oddest suit of furniture in the world is owned by a certain hotelkeeper. For many years he has made it his business to collect match boxes, of which he has now a collection of 4,000. He ordered a skilled cabinetmaker to equip a room with furniture made of these boxes. The outfit consists of a writing table with smoking apparatus, a fire screen, a cabinet, a chair, and other smaller articles. According to the census, the population of the farming country shows a falling off in New England and New York, and only a slight increase in Ohio and Indiana, but its growth is healthy in the states farther west. It is evident that the old states must look to their cities and larger towns for increase in population. In the newer agricultural regions the growth of population seems to be spread over both city and country. A recent notable dinner of the Harvard club of Japan calls attention both to the spread of western learning in the east, and to the wide influence of a great university. The dinner was given to celebrate the return of Minister Komura from St. Petersburg, en route to his new post in China, the presence of Minister Kurino from Paris, and the appointment of Baron Kaneko as minister of justice. All these eminent Japanese statesmen were educated at Harvard. The recent celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding at Washington of the national capital recalls the description of its location given in an early newspaper letter, which is now preserved in the library of congress. "This metropolis," the writer says, "situated upon the great post-road, exactly equidistant from the northern and the southern extremities of the Union, and nearly so from the Atlantic to Fort Pitt, is by far the most eligible situation for the residence of congress." Since he could not foresee the improvements in transportation and means of communication, perhaps it is fortunate that he did not know of the coming extension of our domains southward and westward. College football, during the season recently closed had no worthier representatives than the students of the Carlisle Indian School, in the essentials of manliness and sportsmanlike conduct generally. The games in which they engaged were as many and as fiercely contested as those of any other college team, and the spectators, in some instances, were neither so considerate nor so sympathetic as they might have been. Yet their games were exhibitions of clean, straight football—such as all true lovers of the sport like to see. The umpire's decisions were never once questioned, and their defeats were accepted with the spirit of men who had done their best, and who had, therefore, neither excuses nor explanations to offer. They have won a place for themselves in the regard of many who would rejoice in their success in other fields where the rewards are less fleeting than those of football. Ghost stories, for some mysterious reason, have been revived of late in Washington. It is told again how the face of an old woman was depicted clearly on one of the white house pillars the day the president received word that his mother was dead. Capitol employes entertain their friends with the story of the shadow of a general looking like Washington between pillars in statuary hall at the capitol. A former senate page, now grown to man's size and employed at the white house, says that when lightning strikes the copper statue of Freedom on the capitol dome it rings loudly and clearly like the famous bell at Philadelphia in the days of the declaration of independence. At night, when the capitol's great marble halls and rotundas are deserted, strange sounds are frequently heard and old employes are confident that they are made by the souls of dead patriots and statesmen come back to haunt the halls where they won fame. It is said that on certain nights ghosts are so numerous in statuary hall that a man hidding and trembling behind a pillar can hardly tell whether it is the spirits of the statues that are moving about.

In other countries it is worth only its bullion value. Dr. Gallus Ritter von Hochberg, of Carlsbad, is probably the oldest practicing physician in the world.

It is said that Major Taylor, the colored bicyclist, who is remarkable not only for speed, but for the firmness of his religious views, has several times refused profitable contracts to race in this country and Europe because they involved riding on Sunday. A Chicago Faker Gulls Those of His Own Class. When a "street faker" dupes a person it is nothing unusual, but when he deceives another "faker" it is something out of the ordinary. A Chicago "street faker" saw an advertisement which read: "Good nickel-plated watches sold for 50 cents a upiece. No. — State street." The "faker," discerning a new scheme, lost no time in going downtown and purchased twenty-five watches. Next morning the "faker" took a train for a small town down in Illinois and had the following advertisement inserted in the country paper: "Found—Silver watch, owner can have same by paying two dollars reward. No questions asked." The next day all the country "fakers" for miles around called, one at a time, on the Chicago "faker" at his hotel. "I come to redeem my watch," said each "faker" as he came in. The watches looked genuine, and thinking they had a "good thing" gladly gave up $2. As soon as he had disposed of all his watches the Chicago "faker" took the next train back home with lots of money in his pocket and the satisfaction of having duped those of his own class.—Chicago Inter Ocean. FOUR DOCTORS FAILED A Michigan Lady's Battle with Disease and How It Was Won. Flushing, Mich., Dec. 22.—(Special.)—One of the most active workers in the cause of Temperance and Social Reform in Michigan is Mrs. P. A. Passmore of this place. She is a prominent and very enthusiastic W. C. T. U. woman, and one who never loses an opportunity to strike a blow against the demon of Intemperance. Mrs. Passmore has suffered much bodily pain during the last three years through Kidney and Bladder Trouble. At times the pain was almost unbearable, and the good lady was very much distressed. She tried physician after physician, and each in turn failed to relieve her, let alone effect a cure. Home remedies suggested by anxious friends were applied, but all to no purpose. At last some one spoke of Dodd's Kidney Pills as a great remedy for all Kidney and Bladder Diseases, and Mrs. Passmore decided to try them. She did, and is now a well woman. She has given the following statement for publication: At different times in the past three years, I have suffered severely with Kidney and Bladder Trouble, and after trying four of the best physicians I could hear of, two of them living in the state of New York, I found myself no better. I took any amount of home remedies suggested by kind friends, with little or no relief from anything. I decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills. Less than one box has done me more good than all the other treatments combined. I am still using them, and can say from experience that they are an excellent remedy for Kidney and Bladder Trouble. I would heartily recommend them to all those suffering from these ills in like man- MRS. P. A. PASSMORE. Flushing, Mich When physicians and all other methods of treatment have failed try Dodd's Kidney Pills. What they did for Mrs. Passmore, they will do for any one similarly afflicted. Young Infants Prefer Red. According to a writer in the Nursery, matrons of infant asylums say that a young infant will be cross all day if dressed in a gray frock but contented and happy if dressed in a bright red frock. Children from two to four are much less affected by the color of their dress. It is commonly observed in kindergartens that the younger children prefer the red playthings, while the older children prefer the blue. Best for the Bowels.

Fine Equal to the Bet Michigan's law against betting on elections makes the offense punishable by a fine equal to the amount of the bet, provided it be not more than $5,-000 or less than $5. A married man never realizes the responsibility he has on his hands until he has to walk the floor half the night with a crying baby. STATE CAPITOLS. Buildings on Which It Is the Tendency to Spend Millions of Dollars. The corner stone of a million dollar state capitol for Arkansas was laid recently at Little Rock. A few days ago a contract was given out at Jackson, Miss., for the building there of a new state capitol at a total cost of nearly a million. The present capitol and grounds at Jackson are of the estimated value of $400,000 and the Little Rock capitol and gounds of the value of only $250,000. Many of the older settled states have capitols which were built many years ago and were designed to meet conditions which nearly every state has since outgrown. The capitol of Alabama at Montgomery represents an investment of only $50,000, that of Louisiana at Baton Rouge $250,000, the grounds being included in this estimate; that of Kentucky at Frankfort, the scene of the Goebel shooting, $500,000, grounds included, and that of Maryland at Annapolis, $300,000. There has been a general tendency to replace the old buildings by new and more costly structures,as is being done in Arkansas and Mississippi. Thus in Sacramento, the capital of California,the new buildings and grounds represent a total expenditure of $3,000,000. Austin, Tex., has a $2,500,000 capitol. Pennsylvania has at Harrisburg a $2,500,000 capitol. The little state of Rhode Island has at Providence a $3,000,000 capitol and the Iowa state capitol at Des Moines represents a total investment of $4,500,000 The Illinois capitol at Springfield represents a total investment of $4,500,000 and the Nebraska capitol at Lincoln represents a cost of $750,000. The Wisconsin capitol in the small town of Madison represents an investment of $1,000,000 and Michigan has at Lansing at $1,500,000 capitol. In the smaller cities of the country there are to be found usually the most expensive capitols, a circumstance which has given rise to the expression "the smaller the capital town, the more expensive the capitol building." Colorado has a $2,500,000 capitol and Washington has completed one at Olympia costing $1,000,000.—New York Sun. HE WAS A SEER. Wigglesworth's Accurate Census Guess of Our Present Population. Edward Wigglesworth, "Hollis professor of divinity at Cambridge," in a little pamphlet published in the portentous year of 1775 must have had a correct idea of the prosperity of this country during the century just closing, as he predicted that the population of the "British American colonies" in 1900 would be 80,000,000. Included in this estimate was Nova Scotia, now the Dominion of Canada, which, with its last recorded census result of 4,800,000 added to the 76,000,-000 of the United States, fulfills almost to the letter the accuracy of the Wigglesworth prophecy. And this somewhat remarkable forecast was not based upon any species of guesswork, but upon a well defined and clearly constructed mathematical theory, which, reduced to plain words, can be best described in the language of its author: "The British Americans have doubled their numbers in every period of twenty-five years from their first plantation." Taking this statistical fact as a basis for his calculations, the Harvard divinity professor constructed a system of reckoning the increase of a country's population, which history has shown to be as correct as his method was simple. Assuming that the 1775 population was 2,500,000, Mr. Wigglesworth estimated 5,000,000 for 1800, 10,000,000 for 1825, 20,000,000 for 1850, 40,000,000 for 1875, and 80,000,000 for 1890; and the record of the United States census, since its initial taking in 1790, shows substantially these figures as follows: Census of 1800, 5,308,000, 1825 (1820), 9,633,000; 1850, 23,-191,000; 1875 (1870), 38,658,000; 1900, with Canada, 81,000,000.—National Magazine. Preacher Put Him to Sleep Dean Ramsay, the witty Scottish divine of the last century, used to tell a story about one of the earls of Lauderdale. His lordship was taken very ill, the worst symptom being insomnia in an aggravated form. His little son, hearing that recovery would be impossible without sleep, said: "Send for the preaching mon frae Livingston, for fayther aye sleeps when that minister is in the pulpit." The doctors considered that to act on the suggestion would be judicious, so the minister was immediately brought. He preached a sermon, sleep came on—and the earl recovered. Odd Decorations. The Swedish ware to be found in the shops which make a specialty of old pewter will probably be welcomed by the house mistress in search of odd decorations for her dining room plate rack and mantel. These articles are of wood and wicker and picturesque in form and decoration. Baskets, bowls, pails, jugs, boxes and other articles for use and ornament are included in the list. The wooden drinking cups are deep and wide and encircled by stout hoops. Sometimes leather strips are used in conjunction with the other ornamentation. Mushrooms as a Vaccine. According to a paper recently communicated to the Academie des Sciences, Paris, M. Phisalix has found that some kinds of mushroom afford a "vaccine" against the venom of snakes. The juice of the mushroom renders a person immune against vipers for a month or two. Pride is the fog that surrounds insignificance. A Unique Colony. In some respects New Zealand is the most advanced of any British colony. Its climate is absolutely perfect, its population hardy and devoted to the land of their adoption, and its resources are most fruitful and already highly developed. The workingman is supreme there, and it is the boast of the islands they do not contain a millionaire! To New Zealand belongs the credit of having established franchise for its women and pensions for its old people, and it has shown a general capacity for managing its own affairs far in advance of any community of its age. The Maoris are decreasing in numbers, and, although they have made an effort to adopt civilization, it is not suited to their temperament. Beware of Ointiments for Catarrh Thas Contain Mercury. As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is tenfold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co. Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

TAYLOR, Editor and Publisher France has decided that all the troops in the colonies shall henceforth be armed with weapons similar to those of the home army. The number of marine disasters during the year just closed is smaller probably than ever before. An official of the New York Maritime Exchange thinks this is due to the fact that sailing vessels are disappearing, steam craft being better able to take care of themselves when in peril. Perhaps the oddest suit of furniture in the world is owned by a certain hotelkeeper. For many years he has made it his business to collect match boxes, of which he has now a collection of 4,000. He ordered a skilled cabinetmaker to equip a room with furniture made of these boxes. The outfit consists of a writing table with smoking apparatus, a fire screen, a cabinet, a chair, and other smaller articles. According to the census, the population of the farming country shows a falling off in New England and New York, and only a slight increase in Ohio and Indiana, but its growth is healthy in the states farther west. It is evident that the old states must look to their cities and larger towns for increase in population. In the newer agricultural regions the growth of population seems to be spread over both city and country. A recent notable dinner of the Harvard club of Japan calls attention both to the spread of western learning in the east, and to the wide influence of a great university. The dinner was given to celebrate the return of Minister Komura from St. Petersburg, en route to his new post in China, the presence of Minister Kurino from Paris, and the appointment of Baron Kaneko as minister of justice. All these eminent Japanese statesmen were educated at Harvard. The recent celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding at Washington of the national capital recalls the description of its location given in an early newspaper letter, which is now preserved in the library of congress. "This metropolis," the writer says, "situated upon the great post-road, exactly equidistant from the northern and the southern extremities of the Union, and nearly so from the Atlantic to Fort Pitt, is by far the most eligible situation for the residence of congress." Since he could not foresee the improvements in transportation and means of communication, perhaps it is fortunate that he did not know of the coming extension of our domains southward and westward. College football, during the season recently closed had no worthier representatives than the students of the Carlisle Indian School, in the essentials of manliness and sportsmanlike conduct generally. The games in which they engaged were as many and as fiercely contested as those of any other college team, and the spectators, in some instances, were neither so considerate nor so sympathetic as they might have been. Yet their games were exhibitions of clean, straight football—such as all true lovers of the sport like to see. The umpire's decisions were never once questioned, and their defeats were accepted with the spirit of men who had done their best, and who had, therefore, neither excuses nor explanations to offer. They have won a place for themselves in the regard of many who would rejoice in their success in other fields where the rewards are less fleeting than those of football. Ghost stories, for some mysterious reason, have been revived of late in Washington. It is told again how the face of an old woman was depicted clearly on one of the white house pillars the day the president received word that his mother was dead. Capitol employes entertain their friends with the story of the shadow of a general looking like Washington between pillars in statuary hall at the capitol. A former senate page, now grown to man's size and employed at the white house, says that when lightning strikes the copper statue of Freedom on the capitol dome it rings loudly and clearly like the famous bell at Philadelphia in the days of the declaration of independence. At night, when the capitol's great marble halls and rotundas are deserted, strange sounds are frequently heard and old employes are confident that they are made by the souls of dead patriots and statesmen come back to haunt the halls where they won fame. It is said that on certain nights ghosts are so numerous in statuary hall that a man hidding and trembling behind a pillar can hardly tell whether it is the spirits of the statues that are moving about.

A Chicago Faker Guils Those of His Own Class. When a "street faker" dupes a person it is nothing unusual, but when he deceives another "faker" it is something out of the ordinary. A Chicago "street faker" saw an advertisement which read: "Good nickel-plated watches sold for 50 cents a upiece. No. — State street." The "faker," discerning a new scheme, lost no time in going downtown and purchased twenty-five watches. Next morning the "faker" took a train for a small town down in Illinois and had the following advertisement inserted in the country paper: "Found—Silver watch, owner can have same by paying two dollars reward. No questions asked." The next day all the country "fakers" for miles around called, one at a time, on the Chicago "faker" at his hotel. "I come to redeem my watch," said each "faker" as he came in. The watches looked genuine, and thinking they had a "good thing" gladly gave up $2. As soon as he had disposed of all his watches the Chicago "faker" took the next train back home with lots of money in his pocket and the satisfaction of having duped those of his own class.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

Buildings on Which It Is the Tendency to Spend Millions of Dollars. The corner stone of a million dollar state capitol for Arkansas was laid recently at Little Rock. A few days ago a contract was given out at Jackson, Miss., for the building there of a new state capitol at a total cost of nearly a million. The present capitol and grounds at Jackson are of the estimated value of $400,000 and the Little Rock capitol and gounds of the value of only $250,000. Many of the older settled states have capitols which were built many years ago and were designed to meet conditions which nearly every state has since outgrown. The capitol of Alabama at Montgomery represents an investment of only $50,000, that of Louisiana at Baton Rouge $250,000, the grounds being included in this estimate; that of Kentucky at Frankfort, the scene of the Goebel shooting, $500,000, grounds included, and that of Maryland at Annapolis, $300,000. There has been a general tendency to replace the old buildings by new and more costly structures, as is being done in Arkansas and Mississippi. Thus in Sacramento, the capital of California, the new buildings and grounds represent a total expenditure of $3,000,000. Austin, Tex., has a $2,500,000 capitol. Pennsylvania has at Harrisburg a $2,500,000 capitol. The little state of Rhode Island has at Providence a $3,000,000 capitol and the Iowa state capitol at Des Moines represents a total investment of $4,500,000 The Illinois capitol at Springfield represents a total investment of $4,500,000 and the Nebraska capitol at Lincoln represents a cost of $750,000. The Wisconsin capitol in the small town of Madison represents an investment of $1,000,000 and Michigan has at Lansing at $1,500,000 capitol. In the smaller cities of the country there are to be found usually the most expensive capitols, a circumstance which has given rise to the expression "the smaller the capital town, the more expensive the capitol building." Colorado has a $2,500,000 capitol and Washington has completed one at Olympia costing $1,000,000.—New York Sun. HE WAS A SEER. Wigglesworth's Accurate Census Guess of Our Present Population Edward Wigglesworth, "Hollis professor of divinity at Cambridge," in a little pamphlet published in the portentous year of 1775 must have had a correct idea of the prosperity of this country during the century just closing, as he predicted that the population of the "British American colonies" in 1900 would be 80,000,000. Included in this estimate was Nova Scotia, now the Dominion of Canada, which, with its last recorded census result of 4,800,000 added to the 76,000,000 of the United States, fulfills almost to the letter the accuracy of the Wigglesworth prophecy. And this somewhat remarkable forecast was not based upon any species of guesswork, but upon a well defined and clearly constructed mathematical theory, which, reduced to plain words, can be best described in the language of its author: "The British Americans have doubled their numbers in every period of twenty-five years from their first plantation." Taking this statistical fact as a basis for his calculations, the Harvard divinity professor constructed a system of reckoning the increase of a country's population, which history has shown to be as correct as his method was simple. Assuming that the 1775 population was 2,500,000, Mr. Wigglesworth estimated 5,000,000 for 1800, 10,000,000 for 1825, 20,000,000 for 1850, 40,000,000 for 1875, and 80,000,000 for 1890; and the record of the United States census, since its initial taking in 1790, shows substantially these figures as follows: Census of 1800, 5,308,000, 1825 (1820), 9,633,000; 1850, 23,191,000; 1875 (1870), 38,658,000; 1900, with Canada, 81,000,000.—National Magazine. Preacher Put Him to Sleep Dean Ramsay, the witty Scottish divine of the last century, used to tell a story about one of the earls of Lauderdale. His lordship was taken very ill, the worst symptom being insomnia in an aggravated form. His little son, hearing that recovery would be impossible without sleep, said: "Send for the preaching mon frae Livingston, for fayther aye sleeps when that minister is in the pulpit." The doctors considered that to act on the suggestion would be judicious, so the minister was immediately brought. He preached a sermon, sleep came on—and the earl recovered. Odd Decorations. The Swedish ware to be found in the shops which make a specialty of old pewter will probably be welcomed by the house mistress in search of odd decorations for her dining room plate rack and mantel. These articles are of wood and wicker and picturesque in form and decoration. Baskets, bowls, pails, jugs, boxes and other articles for use and ornament are included in the list. The wooden drinking cups are deep and wide and encircled by stout hoops. Sometimes leather strips are used in conjunction with the other ornamentation. Mushrooms as a Vaccine According to a paper recently communicated to the Academie des Sciences, Paris, 14. Phisalix has found that some kinds of mushroom afford a "vaccine" against the venom of snakes. The juice of the mushroom renders a person immune against vipers for a month or two. Pride is the fog that surrounds insignificance. A Unique Colony. In some respects New Zealand is the most advanced of any British colony. Its climate is absolutely perfect, its population hardy and devoted to the land of their adoption, and its resources are most fruitful and already highly developed. The workingman is supreme there, and it is the boast of the islands they do not contain a millionaire! To New Zealand belongs the credit of having established franchise for its women and pensions for its old people, and it has shown a general capacity for managing its own affairs far in advance of any community of its age. The Maoris are decreasing in numbers, and, although they have made an effort to adopt civilization, it is not suited to their temperament. Beware of Ointiments for Catarrh Thas Contain Mercury. As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is tenfold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrch Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co. Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.

The Shetland pony, the smallest of his race and family, the greatest prize and possession of our childhood, says the Spectator, is now becoming quite a personage on his own account. His birthplace and bringing up, his career and obsequies, are unique in the history of the world's domestic animals. Born in hyperborean islands of a diminutive father and still more diminutive mother, he passes from pasture to pasture in boats, till he goes to the south in a ship with hundreds of his companions. Then he descends thousands of feet into the earth, where he works by artificial light all his life, and at his death is brought above ground to be buried. To work in the mines is the destiny of the majority of Shetland ponies. Lord Londonerry kept a famous stud of them, presumably for use in his collieries. This stud has been dispersed, but there are several in the south of England in which, by careful breeding, the ponies are kept small. These are mostly bred for home use and for ladies' and children's pets. But in the pits the Shetland pony is still indispensable. If it were not for him coal would be even dearer than it is. He never goes on strike, his temper is admirable, he never grows restive, even if he bumps his head, which is the only accident which commonly afflicts him, and to guard against which the more thoughtful owners provide him with a leather helmet. Now that the pits are lighted with electric light the ponies' sight does not suffer. They have fine stables, with movable boarded floors, so that they never suffer from thrush or cracked heels, and as the temperature is uniform they do not catch cold. Pure Shetlands are the only breed which keeps small enough to work in the seams, even Iceland ponies proving too big and excitable. There is no room to jump about in a coal gallery and the conversion of the diminutive "Sheltie" into an equine mole is one of the greatest tributes to its placid disposition and to the determination of its race never to be anything but ponies. In the quaint phrase of one of their admirers, "there are no ponies small enough to push the Shetlands out of their deserved position." Stanton County, Nebraska. Stanton county, Nebraska, lies immediately west of Cuming county, of which we recently wrote. It, like Cuming county, is a farming district in the Elkhorn valley, and directly on the line of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley R. R. About fifty-five per cent of the land is under cultivation. The price for this cultivated land is $22 to $40 per acre—some probably higher, and some lower. The unimproved land ranges in price from $17.50 to $30.00 per acre, and is worth every dollar of it. Corn averages about thirty-five bushels per acre. Wheat about fifteen bushels per acre. Oats about 40 bushels per acre. The actual number of cattle in the county cannot be stated, but it is about 30,000 to $5,000 head, and there are quite as many, or more, head of hogs. The price of cattle ranges from $4 to $5 per cwt. Hogs, about $4½c. for good stock. Corn is worth 30 cents per bushel. This information enables us to see whether farming pays in Nebraska. With 35 bushels of corn at 30 cents per bushel, we have about $10 income per acre, and as one team of horses and one man can care for forty acres it shows pretty good returns. There is not any more beautiful locations in the State, or in any state than this. The Elkhorn river and several other running streams of water, are found in different parts of the county. There are now a few excellent farms for sale at reasonable prices, and on easy terms. These probably are owned by persons who desire to exchange regular farming for stockraising, and want to go farther west, where they can get more land at very low price. Stanton county farms are near to local markets, and only one hundred miles from Omaha. Many sugar beets are raised in this county, and shipped to the Norfolk Beet Sugar factory. This is a very profitable crop. The total value of trade in toys has grown to tremendous proportions. Accurate figures are not attainable, but experts estimate that the American people buy annually between $15,000,-000 and $20,000,000 worth. Of this sum about one-third goes to foreign markets. To offset this importation the domestic manufacturers have begun to invade the European markets. Iron toys, which we make better than any nation in the world, are sent in large quantities, especially to England. Our tin toys, too, are beginning to make their way abroad, thanks to their general superiority. Between 5,000,000 and 6,000,000 games are turned out every year, and most of them remain in the United States. Many of these games are variations on checkers. Scores of people are busily at work day in and day out devising new games. Few things are more profitable than a successful invention in this line.—Harper's Weekly. New Chamberlain Fable On the Qual des Fleurs in Paris Mr. Chamberlain saw one day a rare orchid. "How much?" asked the future minister. "Twenty pounds, monsieur; it is the only specimen in France." "Here is the money," replied Chamberlain, and, drawing the notes from his pocket, he took the flower, tore it to pieces, and trampled it under foot, saying, "I have it in my own collection, but I object to a Frenchman having a duplicate." Volla l'homme—Toulouse Express Diseases of the Kidneys Potting in His Time A small boy was ready to start on a long-prommised visit to his grandfather's in the country. There was an exasperating delay in the appearance of the carriage to take him to the station. The young man worked off his impatience in various annoying ways for half an hour, then suddenly he was seen to kneel beside a chair in the corner and bury his face in his hands. After a few minutes his mother said: "Well, Kenneth, what are you doing?" "Just getting my prayers said up for while I'm going to be out at grandpa's. There's nothing to do here and I'spect to be pretty busy while I'm there." American and European Coal "The talk about exhausting the coal supply of America is the greatest nonsense," says Representative Sibley, of Pennsylvania. "It is, however, a stern reality in Europe. The collieries there have now reached such a depth that it is very expensive to take out any sort of coal, and the methods employed in mining operations there are, to the American, of an ancient type. I believe it would be possible for America to export 40,000,000 tons of coal annually to the markets of Europe, pay the freight thereon and still be able to compete with the prices now existing there." Want Better Storage Batteries Automobilism and the increasing necessity for some form of traction for goods and passengers better suited to cities than that furnished by the horse, have given another impetus to the search for a storage battery that combines lightness with high output and enough mechanical and electrical strength to insure long life.

SENATOR DAVIS DIES FROM KIDNEY DISEASE. Senator Davis made a prolonged and gallant fight with disease. The trouble, of which the kidney affection was the fatal outcome, first appeared about Sept. 20. Trouble Stealthily Encroached. The trouble had, however, stealthily encroached upon a vital organ, and on Nov. 11 examination of the urine proved the presence of inflammation of the kidneys. Both acute nephritis and diabetes made their appearance, and Dr. Murphy, of Chicago, was summoned. He agreed with Doctors Stone and Lankester as to the presence of these serious ailments in acute form, and, while not making any public statement, he made known privately to some of Senator Davis' business associates his opinion that the case was hopeless. To those, however, who were familiar with the symptoms of acute kidney troubles the bulletins held ominous information, the rapid respiration, fluctuating pulse, delirium and approaching come telling the story of death's nearness. Mr. J. C. Schoch, of DuBois, Pa., convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that Morrow's Kid-ne-oids cure kidney troubles promptly and to stay cured. "For about a year I had a dull, heavy pain in the small of my back, which would be attended by a sharp, stinging pain when lifting or stooping over. On account of the pain in my back I could not sleep and get proper rest, and would feel dull and tired when arising in the morning instead of fresh and vigorous. When Morrow's kid-ne-oids were first advertised I did not have much faith in their curative qualities, but after seeing them recommended to relieve symptoms like my own, I procured some at Vesburg's drug store, and took them according to directions. In a few days the pain in my neck stopped. The Kid-ne-oids have done away with that dull, tired feeling and I am enjoying better health than I have for years." Mr. Schoch, lives at 117 Olive Ave., will stand no trifling because no disease is so deceptive and none more fatal. Statistics show that more people die from Kidney Diseases than any other disease.

Over $2,000,000 worth of thoroughbred stock was on exhibition at the greatest fat stock show that was ever held in any country, at Dexter Pavilion, Chicago, Dec. 1-8, 1900. Nearly $100,000 was paid to exhibitors in prizes. "Advance," the champion fat steer, was sold for $1.50 a pound, live weight, and weighed on the Chicago Scales Co.'s scales, the official scales of the show. This is the highest price at which any animal was ever sold for beef. The Youth's Companion Calendar for 1901 is an exceptionally artistic design. It is beautifully printed in 12 colors.

More Freedom in the West Twenty-two Indians from the Cattarangus reservation, near Erle, Pa., have gone to Westcott, Wyo., where they will affiliate with what is left of the once powerful Modoc tribe. This party is to act as advance guard from those left on eastern reservations, all of whom are tired of their present location. They claim that they can have more freedom in the west. Convict Demands Creased Trousers. William McFadden, a Hardin county, Ohio, forger, was severely paddled at the penitentiary because he insisted on wearing creased trousers. He demanded of the guard that he be supplied with fresh creased trousers each day, and became so insulting because he was not furnished with the dudish outfit that the guard reported him for infraction of the rules. The Emperor's Profession. The German emperor was at Letzlingen on Dec. 1, when the census was taken, and he filled up his own card. Under the heading "profession" he wrote "German emperor, king of Prussia." The card was framed and it is to be kept in the municipal archives of the palace, while a certified copy of it has been made and sent in with the other cards. Waste of Apples In ordinary apple years the waste of skin and cores amounts to 500 or 600 carloads, and during years of abundant yleld it runs as high as 1,200 and 1,500 carloads. All this waste now goes to the factories, which make cheap jellies. There are upward of 140 of these factories in the country and they have an annual capacity of some 200,000,000 pounds. Inhabitants in the Rules. Prof. Max Muller was greatly amused by a young lady from America to whom he was exhibiting the old world attractions of Oxford. She stopped, entranced, to gaze at Magdalen college, until an undergraduate suddenly appeared at a window, when she "started like a guilty thing," exclaiming: "Oh, my! Are these ruins inhabited?" ```markdown ``` Copper Deposits of Alaska The rich copper deposits of Alaska are beginning to be developed, the first shipment from the White Horse belt having been dispatched to Tacoma already. This belt, traversing a tributary of the Yukon, is twenty-five miles wide. The ore is said to range from 25 to 75 per cent copper and carries $6 to $10 per ton gold. The Sense English Sparrow. On the corner of Forty-fourth street and Lexington avenue, New York city, high above the pavement, there is carved a lion's head, in the mouth of which a pair of sparrows recently built their nest and raised their young unmolested, regardless of the ferocious eye and mouth of the king of beasts. North Pole Expedition. Captain J. Elzear Bernier of Quebec has gained the support of Sir Clements Markham, president of the Royal Geographical society, for his plan for a north pole expedition, and he hopes to enlist the British government in his support. Captain Bernier is an experienced arctic traveler. Edinburgh's President to Retire Edinburgh university is to lose its octogenarian president. Sir William Muir, who is 81, will retire before the new century is many months old. His public service goes back to the Indian mutiny, through which he was in charge of the intelligence department at Agra. Senator Foraker's Three Daughters. The three daughters of Senator Foraker, Miss Julia, Miss Louise and Miss Florence, are the three prettiest sisters in Washington. More than that, they are very sensible girls, having been carefully trained by their wise and still handsome mother. Perfuming Gloves To perfume your gloves mix well together half an ounce of essence of roses, a dram each of oil of cloves and mace, and a quarter of an ounce of frankincense. Place this in tissue paper and lay it between the gloves. In the early days of this century many efforts were made to fasten hard points to pens of softer material. Bits of metal were often fastened as points to pens of glass, tortoise shell or horn. Life-Saving Service Statistics. The cost of maintaining the life saving service during the last year was $1,525,936. The amount of property it saved was in round figures $7,500,000 a addition to 2,607 lives. Marriage in Hadoop Marriages in Hindoostan are very simple and are usually arranged by the parents of the principals. When an alliance is agreed upon the bride and groom are brought together and perhaps see each other for the first time. The bride playfully skips toward him and seats herself beside him. The priest ties a corner of the bride's veil to the groom's shawl and this simple proceeding makes them man and wife. Must Dance for Supper. In Australia a novel idea has been introduced for weeding out the "man who doesn't dance." Each lady has a slip of paper perforated in squares, one square for each dance on the program; she gives one of these coupons to her partner at the end of each dance, and any man who cannot produce a fair percentage of coupons is refused admission to the supper room. Christmas Customs of Norse Origin More or less of the old Norse mythology has found its way into modern Christmas customs. The mythic tree of the ancient Scandinavian forest appears laden with gifts and adorned with candles. The skull of an enemy killed in war, out of which the Norseman drank his festal ale, is represented today by the wassail bowl appropriate to the Christmas celebration. The yule log, too, is Norse. Dangerous and Harmless Mosquitoes. Prof. C. W. Stiles, of the agricultural department, says that only the mosquito of the genus Anopheles carries the malaria germs. This species, the professor continues, can readily be distinguished from the common mosquito by its voice. The dangerous mosquito gives forth a deep, strong buzz, quite different from the gentler hum of the harmless mosquito. Grammar of English Dialects Professor Joseph Wright is collecting phonographic specimens of English dialects, partly to enable him to check the material for a comprehensive comparative grammar of all the English dialects in the United Kingdom and partly to hand down to posterity a faithful record of the dialects as spoken at the end of the nineteenth century. Perils of Civilization. If we are to be driven to the hard labor of opening oysters for the sake of avoiding preservaline and to milking cows to keep clear of formaldehyde, it is evident that the highest civilization has not lightened our burdens, but rather added to them. By the way, embalmed beef has gone out of fashion, hasn't it?—Detroit Free Press. Destitute Because Miserly. Patrick McCabe, an old man, was taken to a New York hospital in what appeared to be a destitute condition. His wretched rags were exchanged for comfortable clothing and then the astonished attendants found that he had a chest protector made of $50 bills, the total amount sewed inside of his old flannel shirt being $950. Speed of a Buzzard. In order to see how fast a buzzard really could fly a good specimen of the tribe was shipped from Charleston, N. C., to New York, and there released at an appointed hour. It was expected that the bird would take a day at least on the trip home, but the buzzard got there in four hours. "North and South Virginia." At a rather exclusive function given in Washington recently a young Englishman, who felt that he must say something apropos and typical of America, remarked: "As the governor of North Virginia said to the governor of South Virginia, it's a long time between drinks!" Need of Trained Librarians According to Herbert Putnam, congressional librarian,libraries are growing all out of proportion to librarians. He directs attention to the fact that whereas there are now some 8,000 libraries in the country, there are not more than 500 or 600 especially trained librarians. Wells-Fargo Sued for 5 Cent. A San Francisco business man has sued the Wells-Fargo company for five cents, this being the price of a revenue stamp he was required to affix to a shipping receipt. He claims that it was the company's duty to furnish the stamp. This is a test case. Senator's Wife a Club Woman Mrs. Hawley, wife of the Connecticut senator, is an enthusiastic club woman. She served two terms as president of the Washington club, and is prominently connected with several Washington hospitals and other charities Library for a College W. R. Thompson of Pittsburg, an alumnus of Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pa., is to erect a library building for the institution at a cost of $50,000 and give $10,000 for equipping it. President of Historical Society. Professor Samuel Hart of the Berkeley Divinity School, Middletown, Conn., has been elected president of the Connecticut Historical society, succeeding the late Dr. Charles J. Hoadly. Jean De Reezke's Severe Training Jean De Reezke undergoes the severest training to keep himself and his voice in condition. He consequently can allow himself only few relaxations.

The Magic Key to the Mystery of Life! From times immemorial it has been man's predominating ambition to prolong Life. But among the many brilliant minds, who have devoted their lives to the fascinating subject. It was left for the immortal Darwin to give to the world, in his great theory of Life, the fundamental principle upon which to build all further research in this direction. Following closely in his footsteps came Prof. Dr. Ludwig Buechner, a German scientist of international renown, with his remarkable work entitled "Das Buch des Langen Lebens" (the book on Longevity). But alas, like Darwin he too died, ere he could reap the fruit of his wonderful doctrine. Others however, equally great took up the interrupted thread with the result that two famous German scientists, after years of experiments and research, have at last discovered the secret of Longevity, in the shape of a remarkable Vegetable Compound, which, if properly used, will positively prolong Life. This new remedy, appropriately named "Longavita" (meaning Long Life) has been subject to the most rigid tests at all the leading clinics and hospitals throughout Europe with marvelous results. Appreciating the importance of this discovery, we have acquired, at enormous cost, the exclusive proprietary right to this truly wonderful preparation, which has proved a blessing to mankind. "Longavita" is the true Tablet of life, a rejuvenator excellence, embodying the veritable secret of longevity in a practical, feasible form. It is the fountain of perpetual youth, which it prolongs far beyond its present limits, while retaining health in a perfectly normal state. "Longavita" brightens the eye, stimulates mental activity, gives elasticity to the step, makes the face full, absorbs wrinkles, cleanses the system, purifies the skin, and is the only true Ponce de Leon remedy for old and young of both sexes.

Information on Waterwars Lyman Cooley, the original engineer of the Chicago drainage ditch, lectured at Ann Arbor recently, and said that boats to compete with railroads nowadays must have a carrying capacity of not less than 2,000 tons each. The roads are preparing for heavier hauls, and so must the boats if ship canal plans are to carry and succeed.
