Make Your Hot Porch Cool
Vudor Porch Shades make this possible ; they keep out
the hot sun, but admit the cool, refreshing breeze. They give
absolute privacy, for no one can look through them from the
outside ; yet they are so constructed that from the inside you
can see all that goes on without.
They can be instantly raised or lowered, with very little
effort. A practically indestructible device (operating on the
principle of a theatre curtain) accomplishes this. They are
light, but exceedingly durable, being constructed of thin strips
of Linden wood fibre woven with the strongest seine twine.
Vudor Shades are artistic in the extreme ; stained in soft
colors that rest the eye and harmonize with any style of archi
tecture. The colors are absolutely indelible and will neither
fade nor crock off. Think of the many pleasant hours you can
spend on your porch during the hot, Stirling days in summer if
it is equipped with these shades. Fanned by every cooling
breeze, seeing every passer-by yet secure against the burning
rays of the summer sun and the inquisitive gaze of neighbor
and stranger alike.

THE VICTORIA CROSS.
I-ord Roberts Was One of the First
Men to Receive It.
Fifty years ago Queen Victoria
founded the famous Order of the Vlo
trola Cross. The little bronr.e em
blem hearing the words "For Valor"
still remains the most famous naval
and military decoration in the world.
I'p to the present 620 sailors and
soldiers. Including three civilians,
noting for the time as combatants,
havo received Queen Victoria's Cross.
One of the first men to receive the
decoration was Lord Roberts, of
Kandahar, who saved a flag during
the mutiny, forty-seven years ago.
Lord Roberts Is the only man In the
world who possesses two Victoria
crosses. The second was won by his
Ron In his heroic efforts to save the
guns at Colenso during the Boer war.
Lieutenant Roberts died of his
nounds, and the cross he had won at
the cost of death was given by the
late Queen to Lord Roberts, who Is
entitled to wear the reward of his
son's bravery on his right breast.
Some of the exploits which led to
the reward of the cross "For Valor"
are absolutely amazing. During a
cnnipalgn'lt Is the ambition of every
British officer and man to earn the
Victoria Cross, and the reckless
bravery displayed during the South
African war led to a reprimand from
hor.dquarters, many gallant men
needlessly throwing nway their lives.
The Shah of Persia In Russia.
The Shah of Persia Is a man of
moods and his visits are not always
unmixed Joys at the courts he hon
ors. On the occasion of his recent
stnv In St. Petersburg his peculiari
ties gave infinite trouble to the Rus
sian court oflleials. One of his most
-ring idlosyncrnties is his habit of
OL-t.i.-ioinlly going to bed for twenty
mo ir lio irs at a stretch. Riving strict
orilcrs that he Is not to be disturbed
under rain of death. More than once
the days selected were those on
wlilc'i special festivities had been ar
ranged in his honor. As a matter of
fart, his majesty, who Is devoted to
c'llldren, preferred half an hour with
tbr little grand duchesses to any
ot'icr entertainment, and won the
children's heart by letting them play
iU his exquisite collection of dia
monds and other precious stones,
which Is said to be worth a king's
ransom. London Tatler.
Oirljjln of St. Maurice.
St. Maurice in Switzerland is the
name of a little station on the rail
way that lends up the Rhone valley
from the lake of Geneva. The place
gets Its name as follows: Maurice
was the oflleer, second In command
of the Thebaic legion, when the Em
peror Maximilian marched over the
Alps In A. D. 302 to quell a rising In
Gaul. At Octoi'urum (Martlgny)
the legion, every man of which was a
Christian, was ordered to sacrifice to
the Roman gods for the success of
the expedition. Headed by Maurice,
they refused, marched off to Agaun
um (St. Maurice), and there were
twice declmuted to enforce submis
sion. But they stlU refused, and fin
ally the remainder were surround
ed and cut down by the rest of the
army.
Curious Legal Custom.
A curious custom is in vogue in
many parts of India. If a dispute
arises between two landowners two
holes are dug close together, in each,
of which defendants and plaintiff's
lawyers have to place a leg. They
have to remain thus until either one
of them is exhausted or complains of
being bitten by insects, when he la
Judged to be defeated and hla em
ployer loses his case.
Dog Scavengers In France.
The municipality of Nice, France,
has organized a troop of dog scav
engers for the cleaning of the sew
ers. Some of the sewer pipes are too
Rtv.ull to allow of the passage of men.
The dogs have been trained to drag
a cord with a brush at the end of it
from one end of the pipe to another.
The system is meeting with complete
success.
Yield of Cocoa Palm.
The Cocoa pu'im, from which
chocolate comes, bears its pods,
which contain fifteen to twenty-five
beans each, at ten to twelve feet
from the ground. Four hundred
trees are planted on an acre and each
yields about one dollar's worth of
beans.
At the Ilnrgain Counter.
A London periodical reports a "re
grettable Incident. In a bargain
counter rush a valuable ostrich
feather became detached from a
lady's hat and was sold as a remnant
before the lady had discovered und
could explain her loss.
King Fdwnrd's Punctuality.
King Edward, like his mother, Is
always punctual to the second In his
public engagements. If the pro
gramme Is that he shall be at the
Horse Guards at 1.48 and Victoria
Gate at 1.53, he is there, for all to
see, on time.
The Itiblc In China.
In China last year the British and
Foreign Bible Society distributed
more than 1,000.000 copies of the
Scriptures. During the same period
350,000 books were given away
among the soldiers and sailors of
Russia laid Japan.

Mrs. Sue Martin, an old and highly re

TWO VIEWS OP CXRZON.
He Is an Unbroken Colt, Or a
Genius; Take Your Choice.
Now that Lord Cunon is no longer
Viceroy the Indian press Is paying Its
respects and dlsrepecta to him with
great freedom.
An ex-presldent of the National
Congress says that Lord Curzon do-
parted the shores of India "unwept
uuhonored and unsung." Those who
did him reverence wore his unqunlt
fled pangyrl8ts, "the men who had
blinded their eyes and stuffed their
ears with cotton all the tlmo that
there was going on a most unequal
and deplorable struggle between the
people, the educated classes speci
ally, on the one side, and the tin
bridled and irresponsible autocrat
on the other."
He then proceeds to characterize
the ex-Viceroy as one utterly with
out modesty, and blowing his own
trumpet. "He carried about him,"
says the writer, "throughout his
viceregal career the Impetuosity of
the boy at Eton and all the insobriety
and immaturity which accompany
youth. The fact Is, he was an unbro
ken colt. He conjured himsolf as an
autocrat ruling a larger population
than that of the Czar of All the Rus
sins. He pictured himself as one who
blended a Tiberius and Sultman tho
Magnificent Into one."
On the other hand, an equally de
cided article in the Calcutta Review
declares that "It would be hard to
find another ruler who combines in
himself all thoso qualities, mentnl
and moral, which Lord Curzon
brought to bear on the difficult task
of governing a vast country like In
dia, and that It Is no disrespect to
Lord Mlnto to say that he does not
possess the genius with which his
predecessor was gifted."
Phillips Brook's Silence.
Bishop Brooks of Boston occasion
ally used to surprise those not Intim
ately acquainted with him by sitting
silently while conversation was go
ing on around him briskly. The
bishop explained his rather unwont
ed taciturnity by relating that on one
occasion while seated in a railroad
train opposite an intelligent-looking
man the latter seemed about to say
something. "I beg your pardon,"
said the bishop, "were you about to
make a remark?" "No," was tho re
ply. "Oh, I thought you looked as If
you were going to say something to
me," answered the bishop apologeti
cally. "Yes, I am said to be very de
ceptive that way. I used to say things
and make remarks as soon as I
thought them. I have often thought
I had something to say and discov
ered after I had said it that 1 ought
to have kept silent." And the bishop
would conclude his story by saying:
"I have found myself In the same
position more than once, so I do not
speak until I am reasonably sure
that I have something to say." Chi
cago Chronicle.
Why Hay Got Xo War Xews.
In the summer of the commence
ment of the Russo-Jnp war the late
Secretary of State John Hay came to
his summer home a. Lake Sunapeo
for a few days' rest. Naturally, it
was Important for him to have close,
and constant communication wlAi
the outside world, and arrangements
had accordingly been made for tele
grams to be sent up to him from the
telegraph office.
As the situation of the eastern af
fairs became more tense and exciting
Secretary Hay was expecting very
Important communications, but none
came. A day went by, and no word.
The next morning a messenger war
dispatched early to see If there was
any message.
"No," said the operator, "there If
none."
"But has none come?" he wa
asked.
' "Well, one came yesterday, but
there was no sense tt It, so I did not
send it up."
The message had come in cipher.

Dried Milk In Australia.
Australia has adopted the system
of drying milk, which originated in
England. - The milk is dried between
steam rollers and sold as a powder,
from which nothing but water has
been extracted, and to which noth
ing but water requires to be added.
A leading medical officer Is reported
to have said that the adoption of
dried milk at some of the asylums
for consumptive patients and in gen
eral hospitals has proved a success.
Evading the Lions.
A hundred natives employed on
the Fort Hall road, who were re
cently charged by six Hons, sought
refuge In the water, where they re
mained for more thin an hour, the
Hons In the meantime resting quiet
ly on their haunches near the bank
of the river until the report of a re
volver dispersed them, much to the
relief of the frightened blacks.

Fuel from Irish Hog.
Experts calculate that Irish bogs
are capable of turning out 50,000,
tons of fuel a year for a thousand
years, and at the present prices this
would realize $60,000,000 a year.

That tells briefly of a Silk Sale which, considering the
qualities of silks and the kind to be sold, should provo a sale
of great iuiportauce. Silks that so far as real value is con
cerned should easily command tho regular price
Not necessary to go iuto argument or detail with referouce
to the why or wberofor of this sale.
The silks are here, they haveu't sold at the regular price,
so regardless of what we paid for them or what iu our judg
ment they should sell for, good business would seem tu dictate
that all slow selling merchandise he quickly disposed of. That's
why we're going to accept a temporary loss ou these.
Not backward about accepting a loss when it's noccsaary.
Don't hesitate to resort to a very forcible price reduction when
ocoasion demands. That keeps our stocks fresh and clean, .up
to the minute in point of style.
This is not merely advertising talk this Btore is not given
to that but a fact as to quality, original price and present price.
Ask us for samples of them, if you're iuterested. That's
generally a pretty safe plan. Lots consist mostly of Foulards,
