When a telephone line is electrostatically charged the telephone acts as a condenser. The winding serves as one plate of the condenser, the frame of the receiver as the dielectric and the person who is holding the receiver to his ear as the other plate of the condenser. In order to prevent this condenser from discharging through the person, a German inventor provides a grounded metallic cover for the receiver, the capacity of which is somewhat greater than that of the body.

However, the aviator who threatens to fly up Broadway will not be the only high flyer on that wicked thoroughfare. "The earnings of the average New York lawyer amount to $1,000 a year. "Earnings" is a diplomatic way of putting it. Stealing a base on the rest of the country, a Massachusetts school is using batting averages to stimulate interest in mathematics. New York has just sent $2,000,000 of worn out money to Washington. The fellows the New Yorkers took it away from were probably sent to the hospital. A New York miner committed suicide because he was lonesome, and yet you can hardly blame people for not wanting to keep a miser's company. A western railroad has placed on its rails a car reserved for women only, but the women do not after all prefer an Adamless Eden on wheels. Don't be discouraged if the results you get from your garden make it seem expensive. The price put upon Madison Square garden in New York is $3,500,000. A chewing gum famine is threatened in Chicago as the result of a strike. Our old-fashioned notion of nothing to worry about is a chewing gum famine. A canvass of the co-eds in Chicago university shows that only two per cent, of them are planning matrimony. That's all right; there's no need to hurry the girls. There are a great many unreasonable persons in the world, but few are more so than the New Yorker who stabbed a deaf mute because he failed to reply to a question. A Boston street car conductor found a $5,000 necklace on the floor of his car. And we thought that women who wear $5,000 necklaces always rode in automobiles. A Brooklyn woman who is 201 years old attributes the fact to her habit of arising every morning at 6 o'clock. Many feel that getting up at 6 every morning is enough to make anyone old. Professor Sargent of Harvard has it figured out that flowers will reform bad boys. The next time you youthful son pours water into the gasoline tank of your automobile, hand him a $5 bunch of violets. "Let the baby squall by all means," says Professor W. A. McKeever of the Kansas Agricultural college, thereby proving that all the massive intellects have not been coralled by the eastern universities. St. Louis has provided a farm home for the horses of the city departments when the animals grow too old and infirm for work. Appreciation of any kind of past usefulness in public work is so rare, either in man or beast, that this grateful act to faithful four-footed servants does credit to the city's public spirit and generosity. The decision of a District Columbia court that street pianes are vehicles confirms the long entertained and widespread suspicion that they are not musical instruments. Luther Burbank is said to be trying to develop a better strawberry. There is a stronger demand for the improvement of the strawberry box. A Harvard professor says women are near the savage state. It will be interesting to hear the other side of the story. FOR PUBLIC HEALTH SPECIAL MESSAGE SENT TO CONGRESS ASKING FOR LEGISLATION TO STOP FRAUDS. FRUITFUL LABELS SOUGHT Urgues That Action to Prevent Delusion of the Bick Be Taken by Amendment of Food Law—Bhirley Introduces Bill on Subject. Washington—Death dealing drugs of the cure-all variety and their makers are severely condemned by President Taft. In a message to congress the president scathingly arraigned the manufacturers of and/or denounced as fraudulent drug frauds" and urged congress to amend at this session the pure food and drug law to strengthen that act in vital points of weakness recently pointed out by decisions of the United States Supreme court. President Taft believes that unless the law is amended forthwith the country will again be flooded by "injurious nostrums" and the cure-all" law was common before the pure-food law first was enacted. The message was transmitted to both the senate and the house, and it was said that the latter body probably would take up the matter at an early date. Representative Sherley of Kentucky already has introduced a bill bearing on the subject, a message, calls attention to the provisions of the pure food and drugs act of June 30, 1906, designed to prevent the manufacture and shipment of "worthless nostrums labeled with misstatements of fact as to their physiological action—mistatements false and misleading even in the knowledge of those who make them," and assures that the manufacturer satisfaction and "has been vigorously enforced," more than 2,000 cases having been prepared for criminal prosecution under its terms. He continues: "The Supreme court has held in a recent decision that the act does not cover the knowingly false labeling of nostrums as to curtail e effect or physiological action, and that incurring such action may not be its terms extend in any case to the inefficacy of medicine to work the cures claimed for them on the labels. "It follows that, without fear of punishment under the law, unscrupulous persons, knowing the medicines to have no curative or remedial value for the diseases for which they indicate them, may ship in interstate commerce such drugs, and the law of the state stunts possessors any slight physiological action and labeled as cures for diseases when, in the present state of science, are recognized as incurable. An evil which menaces the general health of the people strikes at the life of the nation. In my opinion, the sale of dangerously adulterated drugs, or the sale of drugs under knowingly false claims as to their effect in disease, is not a crime, and warrants me in calling the matter to the attention of the congress. "Fraudulent misrepresentations of the curative value of nocturnes not only operate to delude purchasers, but are a distinct menace to the public health. There are none so credulous as sufferers from disease. The need is urgent for legislation which will prevent the raising of false hopes of curative value from misstatements of fact as to worthless mixtures on which the sick will rely while their diseases progress unchecked." OLD GUARD SUFFERS DEFEAT Senate Democrats and Insurgents Order Finance Committee to Report Out Free Wool Bill. Washington.—Through a revolutionary upheaval in the senate, immediate and wide revision of the entire tariff is assured, with reciprocity invoiced and its ultimate fate left hanging in the balance. Control of the senate after three hours of desperate strife was wrested from the Republican party by a coalition of Republican Insurgents and Democrats. Bitter denunciations were hurled across the chamber and clenched fists were used by senators to lend further force to their impassance in interference. Fighting to last ditch the Republican old guard went down by the decisive vote of 39 to 18. It was by this vote that the senate, on motion of Senator Gore of Oklahoma, instructed the finance committee to report to the chamber not later than July 10 the Democratic wool schedule passed by the house of representatives. The instructions to reopen the Senate challenge to the motors of reciprocity and means that before the Canada, bill can pass the farmers' free list, free wool and many more articles must be added to the non-dutiful list.

AGAIN A PIRATE IN THE CARIBBEAN? MNEZUELA MYTI Ocerg later 01/23 Henry Haston M'CORMICK IS HEARD HARVESTER HEAD REPEATS FUNK'S STORY OF LORIMER ELECTION FUND. TILDEN'S NAME BROUGHT IN Alleged Solicitation of Contribution to $100,000 Expense Money by Edward Hines in Chicago Club is Again Described. Washington—The senate special committee of eight, which is to make a second investigation into the election of Senator William Lorimer of Illinois had Cyrus H. McCormick, president of the International Harvester company, as its first witness at the hearing. Mr. McCormick cried that Clarence S. Funk, general manager of the company, had told him his corporation had been invited by Edward Hines, president of the Hines Lumber company, to contribute to a $100,000 fund used in the election of William Lorimer. "Mr. Funk came to me in my office," said Mr. McCormick, "and said that Mr. Hines, at the Union League club in Chicago, had approached him on the subject of our company making a contribution. The object was to obtain a contribution to a fund which he had made to recoup expenditures in connection with the election of Senator Lorimer. Mr. Funk told him that his suggestion could not be considered. "I told him I was glad that he had declined, and that practically ended the incident." Asked If Mr. Funk had mentioned any other persons in connection with the collection of the funds, the Mr. McCormick said that he had brought in the name of Edward Tilden, president of the National Packing company. As to the editorial in the Chicago Record-Herald concerning the $100,000 fund, the witness said that about the time the article appeared Mr. Funk told him he had given the facts to H. Kohlshan, editor of that paper, said also that he had advised that he could be relieved of his pledge of secret. "I did not think that Mr. Kohsaint should go to jail," said Mr. McCormick, "and consequently advised that he be authorized to give the source of his information." Mr. McCormick said that Funk had told him of a second interview with Hines, and that Hines had sought him out to tell him that he had not meant that his suggestion of the $10,000 contribution should be taken seriously. "Do you not think that you should have given the information in the previous inquiry?" asked Chalman Dawid. "It did not seem to me to be my duty to go before the committee," he said; "I did not follow all the details." Strang Hurt In Kenosha.

FIND RELICS IN MAINE HULK Parts of Dinner Service Are Discovered as They Were Loft After Last Meal. Havana. — As the nuilk of the battleship Maine gradually rises above the level of the waters within the cofferdam, there are interesting discoveries. A curious relic of the disaster has been found. The explorers recovered plates and other chinaware in the officers' quarters, and the naval service of the captain and wardroom mess. All were found as they had been left by the stewards after the last dinner. The searchers found on the spar deck a small ammunition box such as is customarily distributed about the decks. This contained six millimeter cartridge clips for the naval service rifle and a number of short knife bayonets in metallic leather covered scabards. The clips of cartridges were well preserved, but the steel bayonets were reduced to masses of rust. Direct Vote BILL Rejected.

DEALS PACKERS FRESH BLOW Federal Judge Carpenter, in a Six-Word Edict, Denies Rehearing to Indicted Beef Men. Chicago—"The motion for rehearing is denied." In these six words Judge George A. Carpenter in the United States circuit court denied the latest plea of the indicted packers, ruling that they must plead to the indictments charging them with maintaining a conspiracy in restraint of trade.

Kettner COPYRIGHT 1905, THE DOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY Miss Belina Lue, splinter guardian angle of River Bluff, presides over an improzionu day nursery for the babies of the neighborhood in the year of her grocery. Her charges are known as "Soap Box tables." The fact that she is single makes her an object of sympathy to the mothers. One of her friends is Miss Cynthia Page, daughter of Widow Page, Cynthia visits Miss Belina and learns that she has taken another "Soap-Boxer" in Alan Kent, a young artist who wishes to establish a studio in her barn.

When I see a curl of religion sprouting in the air, she shines on it pleasant-like, but not to take so much notice until it roots good. —Miss Selina Lue. The friday, the 13th, dawned clear and mild for Miss Cynthia, and the early morning breezes that ruffled the fair hair on her pillow breathed so hint of adventure, though they wakened her long beard, and her eyes on a window-framed landscape with the down-river hills and banks in the distance. She had the feeling that she was going on with a dream in the top of the barn in which she had been just about to voice her admiration for the picture to a tall and glorified Miss Selina Lue in gray knickerbockers, when her consciousness formed complete connection and she sat up and strove to be the best. The pertinence of the man to presume to mix in her dreams, even if his pictures were wonderful! As Miss Cynthia dressed in 'a leisurely way she found it hard to keep her thoughts from straying to the bluff and the barn. She had for more than a week controlled the inclination of her feet to wander in that direction, and now she felt impelled to see Miss Sellina Lue and Blossom—and—Oh dear! how she did love those pictures! On her way downstairs she looked cautiously in her mother's door and found her awake and in the act of taking her morning nourishment. Everything Mrs. Jackson Page did knew the way of a coronary, and she received Miss Cynthia graciously—in a point-lace breakfast-cap. "How are you, her, this lovely morning?" she inquired gently. Mrs. Jackson Page preferred to be spoken in cadences of deepest sympathy at all times. "As well as I can ever hope to be," she answered languidly, though she slipped with a degree of relish the see-saw cup of coffee and began a business-like attack on a substantial tray of breakfast the maid had set before her. "Are you going in to town today I had hoped you would look at that house on University avenue. If have to leave my ancestral home I would have to leave my position. It will not be for long, I am afraid, and after I am gone—" she raised a hand handkerchief to her eyes and left Miss Cynthia in doubt as to whether she was bemoaning the prospect of her daughter's bereft condition on University avenue or her own on one of the streets said to be paved with gold. After a proper degree of concern and consolation, Miss Cynthia beat a hasty retreat down the steps. The telephone stopped her on her way to the outside entrance of the institution ensued, conducted by Evelyn Branch, who was up and doing far earlier than was her wont. "You dear thing," she hailed across the city, "to be awake early! Did you get your worm all right? I was just calling to leave my number for you. I am so excited—I—" "Then I iner you did catch your worm," audged Miss Cynthia into the telephone. "It isn't a worm I am after; it's a man." "Too early then, dear, unless you want a brisk farmer." "Anything but, cherie! Listen! Do you remember my telling you about that perfectly delicous man I met in Washington last winter?" "Which one?" "There was only one—like him. You know, was Alan Kent, the artist; I told you about going to his studio and who compliment Aunt Kate thought it was to have him ask us. Don't you remember my telling you about him? My dear, he was the whole thing all winter. Well, grip your heart tight—he's here in the city!" "Really?" Miss Cynthia's voice tried hard to be what Evelyn expected of it. "Yes, I saw him on the street last night, and before I could make Harold stop the auto he was gone and we couldn't find a trace of him anywhere. I exasperated to think of that gorgette on the street, and times so dull in the summer? There were only three men at the Country club last night and they were grumpy and attentioned to death. So glad you weren't there, for it was bad without you. "Are you sure you saw him?" ventured Miss Cynthia with no more than a polite show of interest. "Sure! Well, Alan Kent is entirely too distinguishe a man for anybody to forget. My dear, he is most attract- and it is so romantic about his faces and all. The old man is a lumberjack and refuses to have anything to paint. And there the poor dear goes along and prefers patty little $10,000 contracts to decorate guild halls to the old fellow's millions. Where do you suppose he can be? I had Harold telephone all the hotels, and he is KET On Her Way Down Stairs She Looked Cautiously in at Her Mother's Door. not at one of them. I must have him at my dinner dance on the 20th, dead or alive. Though I dread his meeting you—the impression I made was too tight to run such a risk. I doubt if he remembers—" "I am sure you needn't mind about me at all. I feel he won't be interested." "Dearest, I don't trust you! Well, I must say good-by. You are not so interested in finding the dear creature as I thought you would be. How is your mother?—Oh, I am so sorry! Give her my love. And has Grasse sent your pink gown home yet?—Delightful! Well, good-by again!" The moment Miss Cynthia had hung up the receiver she realized that she had deliberately withheld valuable information. Her best friend—in perfect cold blood. She picked up the pink-rose hat and down the hill to the blues. When she was just in front of Mrs. Kinney's she saw the "delicious" one leave the barn and descend over the bluff to the river, kit in hand. Without out acknowledging it to herself, she would have liked to lock him in the barn—out of harm's way. Well, harm was a rather emphatic name for Evelyn—but she was a very lovely thing—especially at dinner-dance times. Miss Cynthia finally reached the door of the grocery and paused a moment on the steps. Nobody being in sight, she called softly. Miss Selina Lue poked her head out of her little lean-n-bedroom and greeted her in a voice of bustling exe-ience. She be there in a minute. Miss Cynthia, Dobbs have got a holiday and he wants us to go up to the Lock with him to three o'clock meeting on the gospelbook what's tied up there this week. Set down in the cool till I come" Miss Cynthia smiled as she seated herself upon the steps, for she knew her sedom Miss Selina Lue went out On Her Way Down Stairs She Looked of calling distance of the grocery door. She rarely went to town and then only on the most urgent business. She had a decided aversion to the cars even with Mr. Flirt-and Mr. Jim Peters motoring and conducting. "Not that they ain't good drivers," she always hastened to say, "but I am traveling with a thinking critter—a pulling of me, instead of being drivy by a little box of lightning that isn't got no conscience about running away with me. Besides, there are more ways in the city to git killed two or three times a minute than a body could dream up in a week. I should think all the town folks would be mighty good, and live lives prepared to go. I never gave a free breath hardly. I would go to houses with seventeen stories and coming down all the time trying to swoller my heart." "I hate those fast elevators In the skyscrapers myself," Mrs. Cyndia had answered her sympathetically. "They are all jest a part and a parcel of the running around of things. They sain't no peace in it all, and I am one that holds that peace are the air that religion breathes, and when it gits shet off from it it sholy dies. I ain't tempting providence by going down, lessen business calls me." And she had held to her determination. If Miss Cynthia was delighted at the prospect of the excursion she was still more so at the sight of Miss Selina Lue as she made her way through the boxes and barrels and came to the full light of the front door. The picture was one of exceeding majesty; and the heart of Miss Cynthia was filled in awe. The foundation of the toilet was a black silk as stiff and rustling as any that hung in the wardrobe of Mrs. Jackson Page on the hill, and a genius had fashioned it some bygone day in Warren county. It was cut without stint of material, and hung about the tall, dignified figure of Miss Selina Lue in bounteous folds; also it was adorned with a multitude of small bands known as pipings. It gracefully on the door at least a foot all around and was lifted in front by one of Miss Selina Lue's black-lace mittened hands. A wide white-lace collar encircled her neck and was caught by a faded hair-brocade. But the bonnet was the crowning majesty of all; it was wide and scoped, and adorned by a decorous black bow on the outside, but in the front of the tunnel there rested, just above the middle of the water-waves, a raikin red roses the rested them on the clementment in her cheeks. She was wonderful to behold was Miss Selina Lue and "too darling for words." as Miss Cynthia told her with an impulsive squeeze. "Where did you get it all, Miss Selina Lue?" she questioned excitedly. "Lands alive, child, this is' the dress my mother had before the war. I ain't wored it久时, count of not having time, but I thought I ought to put it on to compliment Mr. Dobbs for asking me ter go along with 'em You see, it's this-way. Mr. Dobbs is jettest the earth of the earth kindness, except cussing—but he ain't never perfessed and joined the church. So when he asked Mary Ellen and me go to this boat-meeting with him, though it do seem a kinder queen place to go to praise the Lord—a flat boat to a lock—I said we must make out ter keep him company. Mary Ellen was fer backing down being so being to gear to hup tight and aile, easy overet, but I permitted on her. I look nice ter git Mr. Dobbs in a happy, consenting kinder mind. When I see a curl of religion sprouting up, I think it's best the kerinder shine on it pleasant-like, but not to take too much notice until it roots good. There they come now! Ain't they genteel? Bennie and Ethel Maud look jest like a picnic." And Miss Cynthia smiled delightfully as she exchanged greetings with the enthusiastic family out on the quest for the soul-welfare of the head member. Miss Selina Lue's adjective had been an apt one that applied to them all. Mrs. Dobbs was buttoned up tight in a dark blue coat-suit, and the perspiration rolled down her happy face from the crown of her black velvet hat, with its remarkable blue hair. With its white cotton coat lace collar one unglued bow tie, the constant mopping. Ethel Maud wore in white and starched to the limit of endurance, and had pink bows tied wherever they would stick Cautiously in at Her Mother's Door. Bennie and Mr. Dobbs were clothed in their Sunday best, and Mr. Dobbs beamed with pride at Miss Cynthia's compliments. But Bennie stood on one foot and covered it with the other in evident consciousness of their beaten hands; wear them shoes he had in the spring, and I couldn't nowways impel him" explained his mother. "My feet's sore," the delinquent grumbled shamefacedly. "So's mine," wined Ethel Maud, standing first on one and then the other. "But you're a girl," said her mother (decided) thus firmly setting the age of femininity on her young shoulders. "Are you ready, Miss Selmy Lue?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) Christian Girl No Girl at That. The request for "Christian Girl" at the Congress hotel in Chicago the other day prompted such a person created general amusement among guests and employees until it was learned that "Christian Girl" was a traveling man from Cleveland, O, stopping at the hotel and was wanted by a friend on the telephone. "Christian Girl here!" a man asked Clerk Burke. "Well, I don't know," hesitated the clerk. "And I will find out." "Say," replied the guest, "I don't want a female, a sure enough girl. I just want Christian Girl from Cleveland and he's no girl at that." It is not generally known that the first time bright colors were used in the dress of the navy, a woman had something to do with it. King George II. saw the duchess of Bedford riding in the park wearing a blue habit with some facings and was so struck with the effect that he ordered the same combination for the new uniforms of the royal navy, afterward known as bluejackets. CORONATION OF KING IS BRILLIANT SPECTACLE Solemn Ceremony Is Performed in Westminster Abbey in Presence of Distinguished Assemblage-Immense Throng Sees Royal Procession from Bucking- The King in the Coach of State. London—George V. was crowned king of Great Britain June 23 in Westminster Abbey, and the ceremony for which the empire had been so long preparing was performed with a brilliant display of the crown, coronation in the historic old abbey. The gorgeous spectacle was witnessed by about 7,000 distinguished men and women, while massed in the streets were hundreds of thousands who took up the about of "Long live King George" when the cannon at the Towne stood up, them that the crown had been placed upon the brows of their sovereign. Great Throngs in the Streets. From the earliest hours of the morning the population of London and the hundreds of thousands of visitors had been moving toward the royal route from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Abbey. As soon as the seats in the numerous stands were filled, gates were closed that kept out the rabble, and then the throngs tried to crowd into the streets adjoining the route. From pole to pole throughout the entire distance gay colored bunting was strung, and the whole city was streaming with flags. From pole to pole and all the way from the palace to the abbey troops were standing, company upon company, British troops of every shade of color, living symbols of the countries and peoples over which the new king and emperor reigns. On every side bands were playing patriotic music, and the ding of cheering was continuous and overwhelming. Procession Fro mthe Palace. As the hour for the coronation approached the waiting thousands first saw the arrival of the gentlemen appointed to act as ushers during the ceremony. These were led by the earl marshal, the duke of Norfolk. Then the nobility entitled to seats in the Abbey began to come. Most of the peers and peresees rode in state coaches that have been used by their families for many years. These carriages, repainted and decorated, were placed in the courtyard and was accompanied by outriders and footmen in gorgeous liveries stood on the rail behind. Each peer as he passed was greeted with cheers and often with familiar greetings that set the crowds in roars of laughter, for even the solemnity of the occasion could not restrain the irreverent humor of the cockneys. Procession From the Palace. Not all the nobility rode in coaches, however, for the king had permitted one violation of precedent and given permission for the use of automobiles by those who have discarded horses. This was done reluctantly, and there were not many motors cars in the long period. The lord mayor and his suite, in their gorgeous robes and regalia, were the next to pass toward the Abbey. King and Queen Appear. Now the bells of many churches pealed out, and the people knew the The King in the king and queen were coming. From the moment their majesties emerged from Buckingham palace there was a continuous roar of cheers that accompanied them all the way to the Abbey. Their approach was heralded by the king's bargestemater and twelve water knees, the king's knee breeches and stockings all scarlet, with the crown and badges emblazoned in gold on their breasts, and Mary's Strong Practical Insight Shown In Choice of the Four Young Ladies. London—Queen Mary displayed evidence of her practical insight in the choice of her four coronation maids of honor, the Hon. Sybil Brodric, Venetia Barling, Mabel Gye, and Katherine Villiers. The Hon. Sybil Brodric is the daughter of Viscose Middleton by King Will Attend the Investiture of the Prince at Carnarvon in July. London.—At a meeting of the representatives of the Bangor University college and the Bangor city council, Lord Kenyson, president of the college, announced that the dates of the royal visit to North Wales had been definitely decided upon as follows: On the 13th of July his majesty will wearing low buckled shoes and black velvet caps. Immediately behind them came the closed carriages of the royal party, every one drawn by splendid horses gorgeously caparisoned. Through the windows of the great lumbering state coach the people could get a gilpime of the king and queen. Following their majesties rode the household troops and especially picked military bodies. Field Marshal Viscount Kitchener was at the head of the headquarters staff, as he was at the coronation of King Edward. In this part of the procession, too, rode many Indian princes and maharrajas and potentates of England's widely scattered dominions. Their splendid CRISTINA Royal Crown King George and Queen Mary. robes glittered with jewels and they added much to the magnificence of the parade. But the man who, next to the king, received the laudest and warmest applause was Lord Roberts, for the people love "Bobs" and their affectionate greetings almost made the grizzled hero of a hundred campaigns blush. Arrival at the Abbey. Waiting outside the west door of Westminster Abbey were the archbishops of Canterbury and York and a large number of bishops, and when the king and queen approached they first entered the church, followed immediately by the Prince of Wales and ward's crown livered a short portion by the oak of the congregation and instant the congregation shove George" and the arms put on the inthrones part of the church was lifted up to archbishops, the peers, and all those who bore ters and other selfs about the Next the prince. Coach of State. his suite. As the monarchs passed in to the abbey the choir sang an anthem. The first action of the coronation service, the presentation of the king to the people for recognition, is a survival of ancient Teutonic usage. Accompanied by the great officers of state, the archbishop of Canterbury went to each side of the theater in turn, saying: "Sir, I here present unto you King George, the undoubted his first marriage with Lady Hilda Charteris, daughter of the veteran Earl of Wemyss; her eldest sister is Lady Tweedmouth. She is a bright, sensible girl with ideas of her own about most things, and has travelled a good deal on the continent. The Hon. Venetia Baring is a dainy, Greue-like lady with great dress, dress, dress, wearing formal and characteristic. she avoids the prevailing fashions, but succeeds in appearing smart and individual without being eccentric. leave Dublin in the royal yacht for Holyhead, whence the king and the royal party will proceed by royal train to Carnarvon for the investiture of the Prince of Wales, returning to the royal yacht immediately after the ceremony. On the 14th the king will again leave Holyhead by train for Bangor, where in the afternoon he will formally open the new university college buildings, afterwards again returning to Holyhead. On the 15th his majesty will proceed to Aberystwyth. king of this realm; wherefore, all you who are come this day to do your homage, are you willing to do the same?" The king meanwhile stood up by his chair and turned to each side, and the people acclaimed him with cries of "God save King George." Then followed the litany, the communion service and a short sermon on the subject, after which the cath was administered to the king by the archbishop of Canterbury. The Anointing and Coronation. King George now was divested of his crimson robes by the lord great chamberlain and seated himself in the chair of King Edward I, which contains the ancient 'stone of despair'. The dean of Westminster flight from the altar the green ampulla and spoon, and the archbishop anointed him on the head, the breasts and the palms of both hands, and blessed him. The king was next invested with the colobium stonids of fine linen and the superuntica of cloth of gold, his heels were touched with the golden spurs and the sword of state was girded upon him, after which the king's cloak and cloth of gold were put upon him. In turn, then, his majesty was given the orb, the king's ring, the glove and the two scepters. All was ready now for the supreme act. The archbishop placed St. Ed. 皇 ward's crown upon the altar and delivered a short prayer, and then, supported by the other clergy, placed the crown upon the king's head. At that instant the trumpets sounded, the congregation shouted "Long live King George" and the peers and kings of mankind marched in. The inhonorization was a handsome part of the ceremonies. The king was lifted up into his throne by the archbishops, the bishops and certain peers, and all the great officers and those who bore the swords, the scorpions and other regalia grouped themselves about the steps of the throne. Next the princes and peers did their homage, led by the archbishop of Canterbury, and the prince of Wales. Next the king, the king of marquets, earl, vescant and baron kissed the king upon the cheek. The anointing and crowning of Queen Mary was a short and simple ceremony. Following the example of Queen Alexandra, she was anointed on the head only. She was invested with the ring, was crowned by the archbishop of York and received the scepter and the ivory rod with the dove. Few Americans in the Abbey. Of all the Americans who have been attracted to London by the festivities of the coronation season, only a very few were admitted to the Abbey. These included President Taft's special ambassador, John Hays Hammond, and Mrs. Hammond; M.J. Greely, Ambassador Admiral Vernet land, presiding officer army and navy, and the latter's secretary; Ambassador Whitelaw Reid and Mrs. Reid and the attaches and secretariet of the embassy, Pierpont Morgan and less than a score of American womens who married English peers. One fact connected with the coronation was the subject of some amused comment. This was that King George, who is quite the reverse of a giant, had selected four of the shortest knights of the garter to hold the golden canopy over him during the anointing. They were the earl of Cadogan, Lord Roberts, Lord Elgin and Lord Rosebey. These four peers were the only ones arrayed in the gorgeous robes of the order of the garter. Miss Gye is perhaps the most interesting of the maids of honor, in so far as she has had a cosmopolitan experience. Her late father was British consul at Brest and she was educated in Paris. Consequently she speaks French as idiomatically as a real Parisienne. The last in the list of maids of honor is Miss Katherine Villers, daughter of the late Col. the Hon. George Villers, second brother of the earl of Clarendon, who was at one time military attache at St. Petersburg. London—Seven daughters of earls bore Queen Mary's train at the coronation. They were: Lady Eileen Buter, daughter of the Earl of Lanesborough; Lady Mary Dawson, daughter of the Earl of Darney; Lady Mabell Ogilvy, daughter of the late Earl of Ailife; Lady Victoria Carrington, daughter of Earl Carrington; Lady Cochran Coyne, daughter of the Earl of Dundonald; Lady Eileen Knox, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Banfurly; Lady Adelaide Spencer, Des Moine, June 23—Southern Iowa editors would like to have the postoffice department enforce impartially the ruling as to discontinuance of papers to subscribers in arrears, or else forget the ruling altogether. The ruling provides for nontransportation by mail of any daily newspaper to a subscriber three months in arrears, of a semi-weekly after six months and of a weekly after one year. Editors say that the ruling could be enforced if the postmasters were given ironclad instructions to do so. The matter was discussed at the convention of the Southern Editorial association yesterday afternoon at the Savery hotel, the first business of which was held in the afternoon. The consensus of opinion is that the department ought to enforce the rule rigidly or shelve the whole proposition. The matter of premiums for subscriptions also came up, the general opinion being that the day of premiums is almost passed. "Employ a solicitor," was the idea expressed by many. Good roads building also received the approval of the editors, J. L. Long of the Osceola Sentinel urging constant agitation on the part of the newspapers. E. M. Smith of the Winterset Madisonian read the paper of W. D. Junkin of the Fairfield Ledger on "The Best System of Keeping Advertising, Subscription and Jobbing Accounts."

It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investment into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life first, to give always in proportion so your means to those who are poorer; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of these Willing to Oblige. "When you feels any temptations comin' along," said the friend and adviser, "you mus' say: 'Get thee behin me, Satan.'" "Da' what I done said," answered Mr. Erastus Pinkley, "an' den I maghane I hyhuis Satan answer me back: 'Da' all right. We' both gwine de same way, notoh, an' it don't make so diffuncce to me which leads to subcession." "We have parted forever. He writes me to send back the ring." "Tet' him to call for it," advised the experienced friend—Louisville Coe rier-Journal. Would Seem So. Crawford—Do the rich know how the other half live? Crabshaw—After taking their money from them they must be able to form some idea of how they are compelled to live—Back. Ancient Lives of Bloodhounds. Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Essex suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scottish clan fends and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hound to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhung the water.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs in the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind). See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A. M. POPE. Be aware of imitation.

The effect will be prompt and pleasant, cooling the brain and inducing a sweet and peaceful slumber. Warm water is better than cold for the purpose.
