Benjamin Harris Brewster, one time
attorney general, was a most unique
character. According to his Idea. he.
was always fiuilt!"s.;ly attired, and bis
niak'iup once seen wilnld never be for
gotten. He usually wore a bell shaped
white silk high hat with long whiskers
on It, a plaited r.nd frilled white shirt
front, with a high s'.:;n l:::g collar, car
dinal necktie or' scarf, bit:'.' waistcoat,
maroon colored Prlnc Albert coat
with gild buttons, yellow trousers,
patent leather shoes au.l soft frilled
i-.:lVs, which matched his shirt front,
around bin wrist.'. On the thumb of
his lift hand was an aiaethyst ring
encircled with perfectly matched dia
monds and a bunch of old fashioned
seals In heavy gold settings dangled
from his watch fob. This was his
usual makeup when he attended to
bnsliicns at bis olllce. which was in the
old Frecdmen's bank building, oppo
site the treasury department, or visit
ed the United States supreme court to
participate In casci which concernel
the government. His voice was pitch
ed in a. high key, and this peculiarity
was Intensified by his sartorial getnp.
which always made him conspicuous
at any gathering. Apparently he was
oblivious of the sensation which his
appearance almost Invariably created.

. Ten Acres Kiiouarh.
Many a man who bus gone Into busi

an extensive plant i:i order to sncceed
has found that he has undertaken too
much. This' was t'.ie experience of an
Arkansas farmer, who for many years
fitfully tilled a farm of 210 acres with
out making at any time n co:rf t ih!e
living. At last he s ild the land to !l"o
Itnlian families, who tor forty iie-pi
each. A northern traveler who passed
that way and was attracted by the
neatness and evident prosperity of the
small farms entered Into conversation
with one of the proprietors.
"How much land have you?" he
asked.
"Forty acres." snl 1 the Italian.
"Is It all In tillage?"
"No, Indeed!" exclaimed the farmer.
"Ten acres are all on man can attend
to. I bought the rest for my sons.".: '
Ten acres may seem like a small
farm to most Americans, but carefully
cultivated It producM for the Italian
more revenue than 2W had for the pre
vious owner. Youth's Companion.

One of the best and simplest means
of checking a cold at Its onset Is to
drink In bed a glass of hot, not warm,
water In which have been placed tin
Juice of a lemon, three or four lumps
of sugar and a large teaspoonful of
pure glycerin. This dose should be
sipped as hot as possible after the pa
tient Is In bed. Taken thus It will
probably Induce a flow of perspiration
which will throw off the cold. The
simplicity of this remedy is only equal
ed by Its g-eat efficacy. As with other
remedies, its chance of working a com
plete cure Is Increased if applied at
the beginning of the complaint.

UNCLE SAM'S NAVY.
The Attraction It Now Offer to
HrtKht Yonna Men.
The new law opening to the sailors
tho n. venues of promotion to the com
missioned ranks will have a tendency
to at tract the better class of our youth
who are ambitious and whose circum
stances have barred them from oppor
tunities for advancement In oilier di
rections. In l'.Mll congress authorized
the secretary of the navy to commis
sion each year twelve sailors ns war
rant oliieers. To receive this promotion
n sailor must be less than thirty years
old, must have been In the service
seven years, served one year as n first
class petty olllcer and pass an exauilnn
tlon upon the theoretical part of his
calling. This latter requirement ren
tiers It necessary for him to devote bis
spare time to study, If he succeeds In
this test he Is given u tentative ap
pointment as gunner, boatswain, car
penter or warrant machinist, and this
duty being satisfactorily performed for
one year he becomes a warrant oiilcer
at .51.200 per year sen pay, with an In
crease of fioo each year for three
years. The fourth year his salary Is
$1,000 and after twelve years' service
reaches $1,800. At sixty-two years of
age he Is retired on three-fourths pay
for life.
Those whose ambition reaches be

satisfied through faithful iiiul lutein
gent attention to -duty, as, after four
years' service in that capacity, the as
pirant Is eligible to a commission If
recommended by nls commanding ofll

Trajan's C'olamn.
Professor Boni, the Italian archaeolo
gist, has Just completed his greatest
undertaking, the restoration of Tra
jan's column, this task having consist
ed In replacing no fewer than fifteen
pieces o' inrble which had fallen out
of their places In the column, thus
menacing a possible collapse of the en
tire structure. The grotto beneath the
monument has also now been filled In,
giving the whole a firmer hold on Its
foundations, so that no untoward col
lapse may ever be feared In the future.
The loosening of the restored portions
had been occasioned by the fall of the
bronze statue of the Emperor Trajan
which surmounted the column.

Consul General J. G. Foster of Ot

grants from the t'nited States number
ed 67,919, or 14,207 more than in 1906.
It is snld that each British immigrant
costs Canada $13. At that rate Canada
got $750,000 worth of emigrants from
the United States for much less cost In
advertising, free fares, etc. Farmers
