Germany has a periodical, Die Flainme, specially devoted to the pro motion ol* cremation. The new library at Athens Is com pleted. It was begun fourteen years ago by Professor Ziller of Dresden. It has room for 400,000 volumes. A new paving In London Is formed of big blocks of partially pulverized stone obtained from Cornwall and south Wales and held together by Triuidad pitch. The latest craze among the Parisian ladles Is that of foxes, or, rather, fox cubs, as household pets. They are so largely in request that the little crea tures are actually for sale now In the streets. Italy has a debt of £500,000,000, which Is growing at the rate of £14,000,000 a year. The only way the Italians can escape the taxation is to emigrate, and this they are doing in considerable numbers. The n lgistrates of Madrid at a re cent me. tiug voted the sum of 250,000 pesetas for the erection of eight statues of Lope do Vega, Murillo, Moratin, Veu tura-Rodriguez, Goya, Arquolles, Que vedo and Salamanca. THE GLASS OF FASHION. Large flowered velvets in bright col ors are used iu some stocks, which are very attractive. Cluny ace run through with fine gold thread will be a very stylish trimming for silk and filmy cloth. Red jackets, Garriek capes, costumes entire, vests, hats and garnitures ure everywhere iu evidence. The season coming is to be distinctly a "magpie" winter. Black and white will be worn in all sorts of combina tions. Silk embroidered buttons are one of the novel features of the new shirt waists, and they come in all colors to match the material. If one sees a pair of black gloves which seem to have missed the last bath at tlie dyer's and are not quite as black as their companions, no com plaint should be made, for they are not really black, but a gun metal shade. One of the newest of the French dress skirts for autumn wear lias a five gored foundation, to which is applied a very deep graduated circular fiouncc, and tliis flounce on the front and sides is slashed, forming panels of different lengths. ORCHARD AND GARDEN. The value of wood aslies in the or chard can hardly be overestimated. Coal ashes can often be used to good advantage in mulching quince trees. The soil should be kept from becom ing hard on the surface about fruit trees. There are few kinds of fruits more easily or more cheaply grown than raspberries. Fruit of a fine appearance sells bet ter than fruit of extra flavor which is not so .sliowy. While a good dressing of manure can lie applied on the garden in the fall or winter to advantage, care should be taken to have it thoroughly rotted. Our best lawn or street tree, the sugar maple, should always be transplanted in the fall, as the profuse discharge from the branches and roots when cut necessarily renders planting uncertain. PITH AND POINT. If you accept flattery, you are con ceited. Tliero i.s such a thing as being a vic tim of hope. The "story" that sounds funny to you may not he funny to other people. Don't repeat It too often. When a man and woman walk Into a store to buy something for the man, the clerk never sells liim anything, lie sells to tiie woman. Every lilnute a man spends In his parlor Irs wife Is nervously appre hending that he will discover a new scratch the hoy lias made in tlie furni ture. Somehow after one returns from a funeral at the cemetery the furniture and carpets at home look newer and brighte, ,iud more attractive than they did.—Atchison Globe. SI AGE. MAGIC. CaiiHa That I.ed to the Deendence of Lev erdemuin. ! One of a group of throe men who I were seated in the Waldorf-Astoria | cafe recently was amusing the other | two with some clever sleight of hand tricks performed with a silver dollar that appeared and disappeared iu a I quite mysterious manner. | "Where did you learn that clever- I ness?" asked one of the spectators. ! "In Philndalphia, forty years ago," lie answered, "during tlie days of Si gnor Blitz, who was my teacher. I was a very young man then and lived next door to Blitz. He took a fancy to nie and taught me many sleight of band tricks that I have not forgotten. "Blitz was one of the men who help ed to bring juggling to its perfection and paved the way for the great pres tidigitators who followed him. j "Now tlie profession is in its deca dence. It has passed its zenith, and its performances fail to excite wonder. It still survives as an adjunct to other performances, particularly for the amusement of children, and that is ; about all. I "Blitz gave a performance entirely in j legerdemain six nights in the week and j two matinees. That cannot be done In i Philadelphia now or any place else and ' draw paying houses. You remember the wonderful performances of Iloudin, \ the Frenchman, and how he startled the world with his wonders and duiu founded ids spectators with his as | toundiug second sight. Then came An | derson, the 'Wizard of the North,' , who drew full houses all over the coun | try. Herrmann 'the Great,' one of the i most clever of them all in simple sleight hand of tricks, was with us only a few years ago, and his successor is now performing. Then we yet have | Ivellar, who lias carried mechanical I tricks and deception by the use of mir rors to perfection. There are also a i lot of the smaller fry associated with j variety and vaudeville performances. I "But the fact is that these clever men fail to excite more than a very lit tle Interest, because their tricks and their ways and their methods are all too well known. Their performances have been exploited to the utmost detail, and our children now know how tricks that wore once considered abso lutely astounding are performed, and many of them are clever enough to re peat them in our parlors. "We know all about the deception of ' mirrors, the possibilities of electricity : and lights, what mechanics can ac complish and the cleverness of the hu man mind In performing apparent wonders. All of this means that the profession of the prestidigitator is passing and that he is only surviving as an adjunct to other attractions."— New York Herald. JnpnnoHc ami Their Sliirt Cnllnrn. The Increase of stature among the Japanese is very perceptible, and the substitution of tepid and eveu cold wa ter for the hot baths among many of the people is responsible for an in creasing florldity of the complexion. Before the advent of military disci pline on American models the Japanese were notable as the smallest necked race in the world, a firm of London collar makers with a large trade to Japan asserting that thirteen Indies was the normal circumference of a full grown Japanese's throat. In a little over twenty years, owing to more ath letic development, the average lias I risen an Inch and a half. To athletic development should also be added greater avoirdupois, inasmuch as a more generous diet and abstention from parboiling are bringing reward In an accumulation of muscle and tis sue.—Chambers' Journal. Odd Scheme For I'nhllclty. ".William D. James, 1003," "Lewis Taliaferro, 1903," were inscriptions that 1 appeared on different hotel registers | during the week. These were hilt two of many, which in each instance was the name of a St. Louis commercial traveler. The use of "1903" Is the unique method adopted by the St. Louis Traveling Men's" association to adver tise the fair which is to be held In that ' year at the Missouri metropolis. The ■ tigures are made to stand for the name of their city. The "drummers" argue that every time it appears on n hotel register that it will make those who see it think of St. Louis and her fair.— New York Times. A ltiiilr.mil Graveyard. What Is called a railroad graveyard has been established at Rochester. Hundreds of cars, put out of service by wreck or condemnation, are torn apart and destroyed. The work re quires not only physical strength, but mechanical training. The man must submit to tlio strain of hammering, pulling rivets and untwisting which is Imposed upon liim without com plaint. It requires patience, skill, strength nnd activity to he a railroad car undertaker. A Surplus of ImpecnninnM Huron*. According to a Vienna newspaper, a theatrical agent of that city recently inserted an advertisement in a number of Austrian nnd German papers stat ing that he wanted a penniless count or baron to appear on the stage of continental music balls. No less than fourteen counts and barons, all of whom could prove beyond doubt the' possession of their titles and ancient lineage, applied for employment of tills kind. Chincftp History. A German correspondent at Shang hai writes that tlie official historian of the Chinese empire, Wang Wen shao, lias written an account of the recent troubles. It will, however, be stowed away In an iron box, in ac cordance with an old law forbidding any historic writings on the existing dynasty to be published. pjjjpp CASTORIA -*""* 1 ' h" l ' riMffir f■ For Infants and Children. flSTOlil The Kind You Have ft* ™ I Always Bought AVegefablePreparationrorAs- I * - I similating the Food andßegula - tf ting theSlomachs and Bowels of nfiflTS T.nff / . 1 Signature /Aw Promotes Digeslion.Cheerfiil- { / Uy ness and Rest.Contains neither r ff ffl Opium, Morphine nor Mineral.

Five thousand dollars has been spent In vain for poison with which to kill prairie dogs in western Kansas. Of the 1,500 towns in New England 101 manage their schools under the dis trict system, 81 of them being in Con necticut. The American museum explorations seem to prove that Colorado had four distinct types of early horses almost contemporaneous. A costly marble monument stands in a fashionable cemetery at Seattle, Wash., sacred to the memory of a faithful horse. The animal's owner was himself buried beside the horse recently. When the first Bible society In this country was organized, the English language was spoken by only 20,000,000 people. Now 120,000,(MX) people speak it. Then the Bible was printed in fifty languages; now it is printed in 420 lan guages. A line of "observation automobiles" is to be run in Washington for the benefit of visitors. Each vehicle carries twen ty-two passengers and will be accom panied by a lecturer on points of inter est at the capital. The fuel is kerosene und the motive power steam. ROHCN and Turku. "Tt would give a genuine and reli gious Turk a fit if ho saw how little appreciation Americans show for the rose and what little reverence they have for It," spoke a florist as he wrap ped the foil about the steins of a bou tonniere. "The rose Is beyond question the pret tiest flower that blooms, and it was so considered by the Turks many years before the conquest of Granada. There Is a religious legend generally believed In throughout Turkey that the red rose sprang from a drop_of_the great prQph et Mohammed's blood. Everything beautiful In nature is ascribed to him. The Turks, therefore, have great rev erence for the flower and allow it to I bloom and die untouched, except on slate dccasions and for the purpose of making rose water. "After the conquest by the Turks they would not worship in any church until the walls were cleansed and wash ed with rosewater and thus purified by the blood of the prophet. It is used on the body for the same purpose. A Turk whose conscience is stung by some act or deed he has committed will caress and pay reverence to the rose to ap pease the wrath of the prophet and j Allah. J "With these ideas inculcated in him j from youth it would shock him severe ; ly to see the pretty flower strewn in I the path of a bridal couple, thrown on ; the public stage or banked up In hun dreds at a swell reception or party to be crushed and spoiled in an evening." —Exchange.
