TEKNA,
GIVEN CHANCE TO REFORM
"Colony of Mercy" In New Jersey Re-
stores "Down-and-Outers" to
Self-Respect.
Where the lost find themselves
where the outcasts of a great city are
restored to self-respect this describes
the Keswich Colony of Mercy at
Keswick Grove, N. J. More than
that, now, it has become a monument
to the nobility and self-sacrifice of
the late William Raws, who founded it
'thirteen years ago and who gave hi
life to its success.
Here Is one place where the "down
and outs" are made welcome, says
(the Philadelphia North American,
Here is a beautiful spot In the Jer
sey pines they are privileged to call
iome.
' Seven miles from a saloon, In
.country that nature has done her best
to adorn, the atmosphere of the col
ony is the very opposite of that of a
hustling, bustling city, which has no
room for those who cannot take care
of themselves. That is why it has al
ready saved 3,000 souls. Worthless
loafers, hardened slaves to drink and
dissipation, find not only physical
strength, but moral incentive. They
learn to like healthiul work, they
grow to love the little chapel In which
they worship thrice a day. Before
they realize it, they have been regen
erated.
Natural remedies are always bettor
than medicine, as modern doctors now
agree. So it is that the cures wrought
at this colony are permanent. Those
It saves have learned to be grateful
for a relief from bondage that amount
ed to living death.
All the buildings in the eight hun
dred acres that are the colony's were
erected by the men who followed the
example of Mr. Raws and saved them
selves. Even more, the farming and
the industrial work that keep the
colonists busy may soon make the in
stitution self-supporting.
There Is just one ironclad rule that
will exclude any man who is anxious
to reform. If he Is ever caught swear
ing he must leave the place forever,
Danger of Draughts.
That the so-called draught Is only
a concentrated dose of fresh air, and
that millions suffer for want of fresh
air, certainly represent profound
truths. Nevertheless they leave us
unimpressed for much the same state
ments might be said of so many other
things.
Lead, for Instance, when distrib
uted through the substance of India
rubber gloves Is as useful to X-ray
workers as fresh air to ordinary In
dividuals; but when concentrated in
the form of a bullet, exposure to Its
Impact Is apt to prove inconvenient,
But however these things be, we ad
here to our belief that draughts are
dangerous.
It is not commonly understood that
the draught is merely the primum
movens, th immediate cause of the
III results experienced being in some
cases perhaps a micro-organism. In
others perhaps a toxin, with which
the system would have been able to
deal effectively but for the local de
pression of vitality brought about by
exposure to a concentrated dose of
freBh air.
Longevity of Birds.
An instance was recorded in a Ger
man paper recently of the shooting ol
a crow with a ring on its leg bearing
a date of over 100 years ago. In the
same week a resident In one of the
English counties wrote to the ornith
"ological press putting on record the
coming of age of his skylark. Thai
letter brought to light the fact that if
twenty-one years is not exactly a com
mon age for a lark, it Is by no mean!
an nnique one. The- writer has owned
canaries that exceeded the twenty
one years of the skylark, and one bull
finch he possessed reached the age of
sixteen years. Exhibition or "fancy
bred birds, on the other hand, are
comparatively shortlived, and the va
riety known as the "Scotch Fancy,"
the canary with the half-moon shaped
body, is decrepit when two r three
years old, and is becoming extinct
Cigar Box Camera.
A fair camera can be made from
two or three old cigar boxes by boys
and girls who are reasonably expert
In carpentry. The writer once saw
one made in such a way by a boy of
fourteen for a total cost of 60 cents.
It took excellent pictures and was
fitted with a lens that consisted of a
pin prick In a sheet of tin foil. I
have even beard of using silver foil
paper, such as is often wrapped around
chocolates, instead of using sheet tin
or brass.
- In exposing interior subjects such
as parlors, sitting rooms and play
rooms a much longer exposure must
be given to the plate. I once took
a dark interior with an exposure of
three hours. St Nicholas.

HE OPENING of the "official sea
son" at our national capital
finds In evidence a most inter
esting group of women as the
mistresses of the principal
homes In the official "foreign
colony." The foreign colony is
made up, it will be understood,
of the families of those alien of
ficials who are sent to this
country to represent their re
spective sovereigns or govern
ments. Time was when very
few of these foreign ambassa
dors, ministers and secretaries
of embassies and legations
brought their wives and fami
lies to the United States when
they were delegated to act as
diplomatic agents on this side
of the Atlantic, but with the In

public as a world power there has come a change,
and now It Ib very unusual for one of these for-
statesmen to take up his abode here with
bringing his entire household with him.
This season the diplomatic) corps has a new
or leader, and this brings a new occupant
the coveted pOBt of foremost woman of the
foreign contingent The new dean Is Baron Hen- ,
gelmuller, the ambassador of Austria-Hungary. A
diplomat must Inevitably remain In the United
for some years ere he can advance to the
of dean, but the Hengelmullers have bad ,
especially long tenure In the land of the free
been here for more than a dose years.

Consequently Baroness Hengelmuller Is well
known not only in most of our large cities, but
in faphionable resorts Buch as Bar Harbor, Lenox
and Hot Springs. She is a Polish woman and has
become known for come of her fads, such as
unique automobiles, fancy stationery and pet
dogs.
The second most prominent place In the femi
nine roster of the diplomatic corps is held by
an American woman, who is married to J. J. Jus
serand, the ambassador of Franco to the United
States. Mme. Jusserand, who Is a very handsome
woman, spent most of her early life in Paris,
where her father was a banker, and in looks and
dress she is much like the French women. Two
interesting Russian women are to be found at the
ciar's branch office In Washington. They are
Baroness Rosen and Baroness Elizabeth Rosen,
the wife and daughter of Baron Rosen, the Rus
sian ambassador. Two women also share the
honors at the German embassy. Count von Bern
storff, alike to his fellow-envuy from France, has
an American wife, and the daughter of the house,
Countess Luise-Alexandra von Bern 8 tor If, is as
attractive as any American girl one could find in
a day's journey, although withal possessed of the
splendid complexion that Is the common heritage
of so many of the girls of the fatherland.
Yet another one of Miss Columbia's daughters
who has a place of honor In this foreign commu
nity set down on American soil Is the Countess
de BulsEeret, wife of the minister from Belgium,
and Senora Dona Alicia Ward de Rlano, the wife
of the Spanish minister was Miss Alice Ward, a
beautiful American girl, ere she wedded her
Spanish lover after a long courtship, during which

the course of true love did not always
smooth.
To many persons the greatest degree
Interest and curiosity aroused by the women
of the diplomatic corps attaches to th mem
bers of the fair sex who have accompanied to
this western capital the statesmen from the
Orient. Baroness Uchlda, the wife of the
Japanese ambassador. Is a very attractive
woman of her type and it is easy to believe
that were she garbed in her native costume
instead of In the clothing prescribed by
Amer
ican fashion, she would look for all the world

In the far east. Many people may be surprised to
learn that there Is an American woman In China's
headquarters at Washington. She Is Mrs. Yung
Kwal, the wlfo of Yung Kwal, the secretary of the
legation. She is a native of Springfield, Mass., and
her husband has spent practically all the time since
his marriuge at the Chinese legation at Washington,
so that she and her children have seen very little
of the Celestial empire.
There are dozens of Spanish-speaking women
In the diplomatic colony at Washington, because
each of the Pan-American nations has its embassy
or legation at Uncle Sam's base of operations.
nora Calvo, wife of the minister from Costa Rica,
and their daughters have been residents of the
United States for more than eleven years now, and
some of the other women from Central and South
America have been here for almost as long. Of the
lesser European countries there are many fair rep
resentatives In the diplomatic circle, but In this
sphere also the American woman has won her way
by her beauty and cleverness, for Countess Moltke,
the wife of the minister from Denmark, and Mme.
Coromllias, the beautiful bride of the minister
from Greece, are both natives of the United States.
Even the secretary of the Persian legation, Mlrza
All Kull Khan, has an American wife, who, like
the Yankee woman at the Chinese legation, halls
from New England.
A Point For Patricians
"I rented the first floor of a palace In Naples
last year' said a globe trotter," and the owner of
the palace, a Neapolitan count, lived on the top floor
with his family. Every day I used to see one of
this man's servants trotting up'the grand stairway
with a pair of carriage doors on his shoulders.
"Yankee-like, the carriage doors made me cu
rious. I did some detective work, and what do you
suppose I discovered? Well; sir, I discovered that
the count shared a carriage with three other noble
men, and each owner, when he went driving, used
his own doors, so as to sport his crest on th
panels.
"The Neapolitan nobility are great for show.
Every evening, In their handsome turnouts; with
two men on the box, they glide elegantly through
the steep and crooked streets of Naples. These turn
outs used to Impress me, but now, when I see them,
I smile and ask myself how many pairs of detached
door sach carriage In the procession has.'

AN EFFECTIVE HOME MADE
KIDNEY AND BACKACHE CURE
Easily Prepared Medicine Which
8aid to Regulate the Kidneys
and End Backache.
la
To make up enough of the "Dande
lion Mixture" which is claimed to bo
a prompt cure for Backache and Kid
ney and Bladder trouble, get from any
good Prescription Pharmacist one-half
ounce' fluid extract Dandelion; one
ounce Kargon Compound and three
ounces Compound Syrup of Sarsapa
rllla. Shake well In a bottle and take
In teaspoonful doses after each meal
and again at bedtime.
Those who have tried It say It acts
gently but thoroughly on the Kidneys
and entire urinary system, relieving
the most severe Backache at once.
A well-known medical authority rec
ommends the prescription to be taken
the moment you suspect any Kidney,
Bladder or Urinary disorder or feel a
constant dull Backache, or if the urine
Is thick, cloudy, offensive or full of
sediment. Irregular of passage or at
tended by a scalding sensation; or for
too frequent urination during the
night
This is a real harmless vegetable
mixture which could not cause injury
to anyone and the relief which Is said
to immediately follow Its use Is a rev
elation to men and women who suffer
from Backache, Kidney trouble or any
form of Urinary disorder.
This is surely worth trying, as It is
easily mixed at home or any druggist
will do It for you, and doesn't coat
much.
