THE KING AS A MAN.
Though Short in Stature He Is Digni-
: fied in Bearing.
“Every ipch a king” in the person
of King Edward means 5 feet 61%
inches, and in weight he scales about
16 stone, yet such is the dignity of
his bearing and the excellence of his
~ carriage that his majesty's appearance
= belies the lowness of his stature and
the welghtness of his person. His
cqurtesy and tact are proverbial, but
-though the king's smile is ever ready
and most engaging, yet his clear blue
eyes are quick to discern and see be-
: the surface. <JTord Randolpn
© Churchill declared that King Edwara
would have made a splendid judge by
virtue of his unerring perception of
character. His memory of faces and
facts is unimpeachable, and he speaks
. French, German, Italian and Russian
as fluently as he does English, which
is his favorite language, though Queen
Victoria decreed German in the home
life of the royal family. No man
knows more modern history than his
- majesty, while in everything that ap-
‘pertains to India and its varied people
. he is an expert.
~ Had Good Ground for Thinking So.
~The following incident is reported
‘as having occurred in a Midland re-
‘vision court.
A certain person who
figured on the register was objected
to by one of the agents on the ground
that he was dead. The revising bar-
rister declined to accept the assur-
ance, however, and demanded con-
clusive testimony on the point. There-
upon the agent of the other side arose
and gave corroborative evidence as
to the decease of the ‘gentleman in
question. ‘And pray, sir, how do you
know the man’s dead?” demanded the
barrister. Well,” was the reply. “I
Gon’t know. It's very difficult to
prove.” “Ag I suspected,” returned
the irate barrister. “You don’t know
whether he’s dead or not. The bar-
rister glanced triumphantly around
the court. His expression gradually
underwent a change as, the witness
coolly continued: “I was saying, sir,
that I don’t know whether he is dead
or not, but I do know this—they buried
him about a month ago on suspicion.”
Army Nurcas,
Of all the great armies of the world,
the army of the United States is only
one which has a regularly organized
female contingent. T.is consists of
the Army Nurse corps, recently or-
ganized, uniformed and equipped un-
der the provisions of ihe army reor-
ganization act. The uniform of the
corps consists of a waist and skirt of
suitable white material, adjustable
white cuffs, bishop collar and white
apron and cap of regulation pattern.
The badge of the corpse is the Geneva
cross of the medical department in
green enamel, with gilt edge. This
badge is displayed on the left side of
the collar of the uniform or on a cor-
responding part of the nurse’s dress
when she is not in uniform. These
nurses are governed by the regula-
tions of the army, and are subject to
the orders of their immediate su-
periors in office.

many of which are adapted to Amer-
ican soil.

Ttadlicred with Thompson's Eye Water
THE GERM-PROOF HOME
IT SHOULD BE RATHER BARE; WELL
VENTILATED, VERY SUNSHINY,
In the Ideal Health Home There Must
Be No Stairs—One Must Dispense With
Dainty and Tasteful Upholstery—Hang-
ing Pictures Are Banned.
While on the subject of dust and
dirt and consequent microbes a word
about the ideal healthy home is in sea-
son. According to the scientists an
ideal living place is a rather bare,
perfectly ventilated and very sun-
shiny place. To those whose souls are
wedded to their knick-knacks and dra-
peries the hygienic home is a cheerless
place, but this feeling is said to wear
off after a few weeks of life in the
clean, bare rooms recommended by the
idealists, and other people's over-
furnished houses look stuffy and musty
to one’s enlightened eyes.
If one wishes to accustom oneself
by degrees to hygienic furnishings in-
stead of taking the fatal plunge at once
this is a good time of year to begin—
when most of the useless and more or
less—usually less—ornamental and
dust-collecting carpets and hangings.
are packed away in moth balls and
cedar chests. One would have to be
strong-minded indeed to live up to all
the requirements of the extreme hy-
gienic furnisher, but one can make
gentle compromises, and the adoption
of even a few of these mew ideas would
work a happy change in the nerves
and general well-being of the average
worrying, fidgety women who live in
crowded rooms.
To begin with, if she desires to do
the thing thoroughly, the would-be
hygienic housewife must make up her
mind to dispense with dainty and taste-
ful upholstery in her new home, for
this is the happy hunting grounds of
the élusive and malevolent microbe.
Ir the ideal health home there should
be no stairs—all the rooms should be
on the ground floor. No picturesque
insect-harboring creepers should adorn
the walls. Ordinary bricks in some
conditions of the atmosphere become
regular germ lairs, and should be su-
perceded by giazed and tightly fitting
hygienic bricks. Naturally, the air of
the country is purer tham in town.
Still such adjuncts of civilization as
gas and water are not to be despised,
s0 a hygienic dwelling house that was
situated too far from a town would
have several grave drawbacks. A
gravel soil is also indispensable. Light
Is fatal to bacteria, darkness is faror-
able to their development, so cellars,
accordingly, are favorable lurking
laces for them. Therefore cellars mugt
go. A layer of concrete should first be
placed under the floors. Above this, and
immediately beneath the floors should
be a “damp course” running right
along the length of the walls, consist-
ing of blocks of earthenware pierced
for ventilation. This absolutely pre-
vents any damp that might get past
the concrete entering the house.
The house may be of any design, but
the windows should, for choice, reach
from the top to the bottom of the
walls. A good type of window is that
In which the lower frame opens like a
casement and the upper swings like a
fanlight.
The best type of roof is tiled, not
slated.
As to drainage, if there is no good
system of sewers available, the waste
water from the house is led into a
series of V-shaped troughs, into which
a special culture of microbes is placed,
The particular germ used is a gigantic
tellow compared to his brotliers of
cholera and typhoid. All poisonous
bacteria are fish that come into his
clutches. He lives and fattens on them
as soon as they enter his V-shaped
den. Though absolutely harmless to
man, he slays his brother bacteria with
zest and efficiency.
As to the furniture of the rooms
themselves, the dining room should be
of polished mahogany. The chairs
should be cushionless or stuffed with
medicated wool. No elaborate carving
could be tolerated, for it would
be bound to collect dust. The walls
should consist of a cement that takes
a high polish, can be stained to any
tone, and can be washed frequently.
Curtains and curtain poles are amath-
ema to the scientist; but an artistic
touch might be introduced by a num-
ber of plants of the india-rubber and
eucalyptus type. These kill bacteria
aud insects, and by giving off oxygen,
revivify the atmosphere.
Pictures of the ordinary hanging
type must also be banned. If wanted,
they should be let into the cement wall
Any projection can harbor a few thous-
and million microbes, and servants are
very human. The skirting is rather
peculiar in a “health house.” It starts
from the wall in a gentle curve, and is
continued until it merges. into the hard-
wood parquet floor. Thus there are
really no corners in the room at all,
but merely graceful curves that the
housemaid’s brush can readily deal
with
in the drawing room the heavier
furniture should not stand close to the
art-tinted cement wall. Nothing should
be against the wall that could not eas-
ily be moved for the periodical wash.
The absence of filmy lace curtains and
heavy drapery may to some extent be
compensated by mages of living vege-
tation. The chairs should be of hard-
wood, and, if necessary, a metal spring
seat could be fitted. The strict hygien-
ist would possibly yearn to scrub the
interior of the grand piano with soap
and water. Possibly he might be ap-
peaged and mollified by very thorough
and frequent dusting.
The bedrooms would show several
improvements upon the conventional
type. There would be no pillows on
the beds. Instead, there should be a
slope of three or four inches from tlie
head to the foot. This sends the blood
away from the brain and induces sleep.
The beds, with a plain spring mattress
are only eighteen inches from the
ground.
In all rooms a perfect system of ven-
tilation is necessary. A method found
most reliable is one in which the inflow
of air comes through the outer walls
through cotton wool and over water,
depositing in its course most of its im-
purities. It enters the room from a
square pipe that terminates at about
five feet from the floor. The hot and
vitiated atmosphere leaves through an
opening at the top of the wall.
Heating should be upon the system
in which hot air is conducted all over
the house in pipes from one furnace.
If gas be used for illumination, the
ceiling immediately above it should be
pierced for the egress of the products
of combustion, or a tube, which should
be carried outside the walls, can be
placed above the burner. In the bath-
room bath cork mats should be left
severely utone. A good wall covering
is formed of enamelled zine. “Fly
nets” in the pantry ought to be dis-
pensed with, and it is advisible to
place a loose material on a metal frame
containing a circular trough of some
antiseptic over the meat,

Pauncefote’s Pens.
In the Peace Congress at The Hague
Lord Pauncefote attracted the atten-
tion of the delegates by taking notes
with a fountain pen, the handle of
which was formed by the shell of a
dumdum bullet. One day the repre-
sentative of a foreign power, excited
by the heat of the discussion in the
Interests of eternal peace, said to him,
sharply:
“My lord, it isn’t right for you to
use that murderous shell in this con-
gress. The instruments uwsed by per-
sons are almost emblematic. They can
become a part of themselves, an ex-
\.pression of their ideas and of their
personality.”
Lord Pauncefote smiled, but said
nothing,
' The following day his critic, wanting
to write something, turned to the Eng-
lish diplomat to borrow a pen. ‘The
ambassador pulled out of his pocket
‘an old-fashioned pen made of a gray
goose quill, and after the borrower had
finished said: >
“Monsieur, it isn’t right for you to
use such an instrument in this con-
gress. The instruments used by per-
sons are almost emblematic. They can
become a part of themselves, an ex-
pression of their ideas and of their
personality.”—Paris Le Gauleis.
An Ancient Crematorium,
What the absent-minded old lady
called a creamery has just been dis-
covered near Reading, says the’ West-
minster Gazette. Twenty urns, con-
‘taining calcined human bones, have
been unearthed at Sunningdale, near
Camberley. A mound was being re-
moved in the construction of golf links,
when three urns were discovered. TUn-
der the direction of Mr. A. C. Shrub-
sole, I. G. 8, curator of the geological
and anthropological department of the
Reading museum, a further search was
made, and seventeen more were
brought to light. It is believed by
competent authorities that the mound
‘was the site of an ancient crematorium
—probably a battleground—in pre-Ro-
man days. Some of the urns are one
foot four inches in diameter. They are
of ancient British make, and may safe-
ly be ascribed to the time before Brit-
ain came under the Roman influence.
It is estimated that the burials must
have taken place between 2000 and
6000 years ago. Some of the urns have
been sent to the British Museum, the
Reading Museum, to Oxford and to the
Louvre, Paris.
A Very Delicate Touch,
The five senses formed the ground-
work of a little discourse which was
delivered to a busy broker at the cor-
ner of Fourth and Chestnut streets by
a man to whom time evidently did not
mean money. The broker was pro-
ceeding down the street, when obliged
to stop at the corner until a trolley car
went by. It was at this moment the
theme was broached to him.
“It is very singular,” was the remark
made to him. by a rather seedy-looking
individual, “how acute some senses be-
come. There are five of them, of
course, but with every one same par-
ticular sense is more acute than the
others. Just see how carefully that
blind man steers his way along the
crowded street. Now, with me the
best developed sense is that of touch.”
The broker looked his man over hur-
riedly again. Meanwhile the car was
clearing the crossing.
“That may be,” he replied, as he
stepped down oft the curb, “but you
can’t touch me!”—Philadelphia Tele-
graph.
Candy For Change.
“Some people wonder why we carry.
a stock of cheap candy, penny candy,”
said the man who keeps the railroad
news-stand. “Well, you see it's this
way. I have a lot of regular custom-
ers who want it. They take it out in
change. For instance, one man has
been buying two evening papers from
me every afternoon for several years.
still further into next year.
If he has any pennies I never see
them. He always throws down ai
nickel, picks up his two papers from |
the pile, and then takes three pieces |
of candy, which he chews while wait- |
ing for his train. Other men saw him !
do this, and followed suit, and now |
it’s quite the regular thing.”—Phila- |
delphia Record.

TRADE CONFIDENCE FIRM.
Qutside of Coal Strike and Lack of
Transportation No Cloud Ap-
pears—Orders Good.
R. G. Dun & Co.s Weekly Review
of Trade says: Each day brings the
agriculture products of the mation
nearer maturity, and as the possibil
ity of any serious injury becomes
smaller, the feeling of confidence is
fully sustained trade grows stronger.
Storms destroyed much property in
some sections, and the prompt restor-
ation of structures has added to the
activity of building trades. Railway
stocks rose to new high record quota-
tions and zold was exported, yet
money ruled easy. July cats succeed-
ed corn as the leading speculative
cereal, but all distant grain options
tended lower as the outlook im-
proved, The heavy distribution of
merchandise is shown by railway
earnings, thus far reported for July 25
per cent larger than last year and
20.0 per cent in excess of the cor
responding period of 1900. Insuffi-
cient fuel is the one serious difficulty
in the won and steel industry, inter-
ruptions and delays from this cause
becoming more noticeable each day.
Supplies of coal are curtailed by wue
strike, although coke ovens are mak-
ing new records of production. Ship-
ments are retarded by the car and
motive power shortage. In a market
where there is comparative dullness
becayse deliveries cannot be made
promptly the outlook for long continued
activity seems favorable, especially
as scarcity of fuel cannot continue
a factor indefinitely. All forms of
pig iron have sold far ahead, and
there is no evidence of overproduc-
tion in the mear future at least. Bil-
lets are still somewhat unsettled by
heavy importations, yet domestic
prices are steady and further foreign
arrivals ae expected. A new week has
brought out more liberal orders for
railway supplies, and the structural
mills have tdken contracts dating
Makers
of agricultural machinery and tools
grow more confident as the season ad-
vances, and all lines of finished steel
are in an exceptionally firm condi-
tion. Footwear factories have re-
turned to almost full operation, con-
tracts, coming forward {freely from
wholegalers at the large cities. Aside
from moderate buying for Red sea
ports there has been little trade in the
export division of the cotton goods
market. Domestic purchases are con-
fined to immediate requirements as
a rule, the finer grades alone being
ordered in advance. Failures for the
week numbered 208 in the United
States, against 198 last year, and 17
in Canada, against 28 last year,
Bradstreét’s says: Wheat, includ-
ing flour, exports for the week ending
July 24 aggregate 3,980,969 bushels,
bushels last week
and 6,934,526 bushels this week last
year. Wheat exports since July 1 ag-
gregate 13,765,306 bushels, against
19,737,647 bushels last season. Corn
exports aggregate 79,611 bushes,
against 130,679 bushels last week and
1,155,276 bushels last year. For the
fiscal year corn exports are 459.405
bushels, against 716,403 bushels last’

CONGRESSMAN
“It Will Build Up a
Depleted System
Rapidly.”
Says:
Hon. W. F. Aldrich, Congressman from
Alabama, writes from Washington, D. C.:
“This is to certify that Peruna,
manufactured by The Peruna Medi-
cine Co., of Columbus, O.. has been
used in my family with success. It
is a fine tonic and will build up a
depleled system rapidly. Icanrec-
ommend it to those who need a safe
vegetable remedy for debility.) —W,
FT. Aldrich.
H. S. Emery, Vice-Chancellor and Mas-
ter ‘of Arms, K. P.s, of Omaha, Neb.
writes from 213 North Sixteenth street,
the following words of praise for Peruna
as a tonic. e says:
Catarrh of Stomach,
“It is with pleasure I recommend Peruna
as a tonic of unusual merit. A large num-
ber ot prominent members of the different
Orders with which I have been connected
have been cured by the use of Peruna of
cases of catarrh of the stomach and head;
also in kidney complaint and weakness of
the pelvic organs. : . :
“It tones up the systema, aids digestion,
induces sleep, and is well worthy the con:
fidence of sufferers of the above com-
plaints.”—H. S. Emory.
Nervous Debility.
Everyone who is in the least degree sub-
jeet to nervousness, sleeplessness, prostra-
tion, mental fatigue or mervous debility in
any form, finds the hot weather of June,
July and August very hard to bear, if not
dangerous.
ENDORSES THE TONIC, PERUNA
ALDRICH
Hon. W. F. Aldrich.
The only safe course to take is to kee;
the blood pure, digestion good, and sle#
regular. No remedy equals, in all respects,
Peruna for these purposes. If the system
is run down and weakened by catarrh, Pe-
runa renovates and rejuvenates the nerves
and brain.
A book on the catarrhal diseases of sum-
mer will be mailed to ny address, upon
request, by The Peruna Medicine Co., Co-
lumbus, Ohio. :
The above testimonials are only, two of
50,000 letters received touching the merits
of Perunas as a catarrhal tonic. No more
useful remedy to tone up the system has
ever been devised by the medical profes-
sion.
TO WEATHER THE GALE.
Business Man Must Get Things Ship-
shape in Fine Weather.
Many a man has come to grief be-
cause he lacked a reserve of capital,
of discipline or of knowledge of his
business. In good times, when any-
body could sell goods, he was right;
but when a panic came and his notes
were refused at the bank he went
down because he had no reserve of
savings or of character. Shrewd busi-
ness men are always on the watch for
emergencies, financial storms or
panics; they know perfectly well that
it takes a very. different kind of ship
timber to wrestle with the tempests
than it requires in pleasant weather,
when there is no strain or stress. It
is the man.who perhaps for an emer-
gency, who keeps his sails trimmed
and his ship in order, that weathers
the gale.
AMERICAN ENTERPRISE AHEAD.
British Beaten in Contracts on Their
African Ground.
The British trade commissioners
who recently arrived at Johannesburg,
South Africa, from England, are
amazed at the amount of business in
steel building material which is offer-
ing, and comment on the indolence of
British firms. So far as they are
able to discover only one firm, and
that an American concern, has a capa-
ble representative in South Africa, and
he has been securing immense orders
in Cape Town and at Johannesburg at
his own prices for huge buildings up
tc 14 stories by being able to quote
prices promptly and promise construc-
tion. with American speed.
Stars and Stripes Fourth Oldest.
The national flag that has been
longest in use is either the dragon
banner of China or the crysanthemum
flag of Japan. The former has been
used from a very early period, and
the latter is a3 old as the present
dynasty in Japan, which is the most
ancient in the world. Among Euro-
pean national flags, that of Denmark
—a white St. George’s cross on a red
ground is the most ancient, having
No other flag
has existed without change for any-
thing like the same pericd as a na-
tional emblem, although there are
loyal standards that are older. The
Spanish colors date only from 1785,
and the British flag, in its present
form, was first flown after the union
with Ireland, in 1801. The Stars and
Stripes was first planned anT ordered
by Washington of Betsy Ross, an up-
holsterer of Philadelphia, and formal-
ly adopted on June 14, 1777.
Japs Want a Language.
Japan is as sorely exercised over
her educational problems as we are.
The student there has to study the
literature of his country developed
upon Chinese lines and ideas. He has
to learn the Japanese and Chinese
characters, and also at least one for-
eign language. Another difficulty is
the difference: between the written
and spoken languages. ‘Formerly
they used to be almost identical, but
then came the era of Chinese litera-
ture in the country, and much of the!
written language was in Chinese char-!
acters, while the spoken language re-
mained as before—Japanese. This:
state of thing continues.” The dis-|
use of Chinese characters altogether
is advocated, ang the substitution of
the Japanese alphabet, of failing that,
Latin. It is significant that in a new
school for wemen, English is compul- |
sory, Chinese only elective. |
Carrying Butter Far.
Butter is now packed in a manner |
that permits of its carriage from Aus- |
tralia to Europe without losing its’
freshness. A box is formed of six
sheets of ordinary windew glass, and:
the edges are sealed with gum paper. |
This box is then inclosed in plaster |
of paris one-quarter of an inch thick,
this being again covered with speciai
paper. The plaster is a bad conduc-
tor of heat, so the temperature inside
the box remains the same. Boxes arc
now made to hold 200 pounds of but-
ter, and the cost of packing is 2 cents |
a pound.

Blackberry Crop.
All things coasidered, the black-
berry has been our most profitable
bush fruit. Its commercial advan-
tages are great. It is a heavy cropper,
a fairly reliable yielder, easily picked,
continues many years in profitable
fruitfulness and generally is in good
demand. Its disadvantages are soft-
ness for long distance shipment, a
slight tendency to scald and a season
of fruiting that brings it into direct
competition with peaches. However,
this real disadvantage of season often
becomes a decided ‘advantage during
a short peach crop, which often oc-
curs. It then has the market to itself
without a dangerous competitor.
A caterpiller cannot see more than
a centimeter ahead; that is to say,
less than two-fifths of an inch. The
hairs on the body are said to be of as
much use as its eyes in letting it know
what is going on around.
