Tho growing disinclination of sep tuagenarians, octogenarians and nona genarians to celebrate their birth days Ib getting noticeable. Tho old codgers are too busy. Still, It Is a fairly reliable test ol tho real freshness of eggs that Is af forded by the price on tho basket. II you see them coming out of tho 20 cent basket they might bo fresher. Second Lieut.

Still, wo go on burning up children, with occasionally a mixture of adults, for no especial reason that can bo dis cerned except Hint it is cheaper to build flretraps than safe buildings. A railway through the mountains north of tho Adriatic sea, constructed by tho Austrian government to build up tho trado of Trieste, though only 130 miles long, has 079 bridges and viaducts. It also runs through -ID tunnels. A Philadelphia palmist says that in IiIb 21 yearB of practlco It was a poor day when ho did not make $15 or $10. Tho stronger sex aro said to bo tho moHt gullible victims, while tho women aro hnrd to handlo and not so ready to ba convinced. It seems strange, sayB tho Brooklyn Citizen, that American heiresses who long for a tltlo do not take advantage tho fact, often statod, that baronial and other titles can 'bo bought in Oermany and Italy for $200 and up, In stead of paying a million or so for a bankrupt, estate and a worthless spend thrift thrown in. Now that tho Greenough statue of Washington, which has shivered In In cloment weather In front of tho cap itol for so many years, Ib to bo put under cover in tho Smithsonian insti tution, why not give it a kimono, too? According to Mr. McCall, tho figure has been trying to roach out and grasp its clothes sinco 1811. Some idea of tho prosont impor-. tanco and valuo of great tracts ol timber land may bo gathered from the fact that an Australian company has Bocured a concession from tho Rus sian government to tako out 30,000,000 foet of lumber a yoar from Siberian forests. Prices aro bo high In Aus tralia that the Siberian lumber can bo transported 8,000 ml Urn to Melbourne at a handsomo profit. The Inventor of that odorloss onion has conferred n great boon on man kind if ho can make onion-eaters be lieve that It is just as pleasant to the. palate and as entirely anti-scorbutic as tho old kind.

It Is said in England that tho ad vanco In democracy has resulted in an Increaso of books dealing with tho peerage.

SQUANDERSFORTUNE LORD ARMSTRONG PREY OF ENG LAND'S MONEY "SHARKS." Misdirected Business Energy Proves Disastrous to the Extent of $G, 000,000 Inherited Famous ElBwIck Gun Works. London. Lord Armstrong, head of the greatest private arsenal and en gineering works In Great Hrltalu, has demonstrated conclusively that misdi rected businoBB energy may be as dis astrous to the heir of a great fortune as the extravagances more commonly Imputed to the younger members of the aristocracy. Eight years ago Lord ArniHtrong, equipped with a technical rather than a business education, in herited through a grauduncle who had been raised to the peerage $C,000,000, i controlling Interest in tho famous 21swlck Gun works, two country es tatesamong the most spacious In England and a magnificent, town house in London. His vast fortune has ow been dissipated, and last week he ntered into a deed of arrangement for the liquidation of $2,500,000 debts n long-term installments. . It was all due to a lack of familiar ity with modern business methods. He had ono of the most stable and well- Intrenched manufacturing businesses n England behind him and the ores tlgo of a family name which has been associated with solid, conservative business methods. He was told ho was falling to keep abreast of the modern Industrial expansion, and ho admitted among his counselors men who were moru familiar with stock Jobbing methods than they were with tho manufacture of munitions of war. Then he resorted to money lenders In league with the other Interests, and to these "sharks" he found himself obliged to pay (50 per cent. Interest. It was due to this that ho put. aside his pride and made a public agreement providing lor long-time payments of tho gross amount of hla debts. Lord Armstrong, by birth and chris tening V. 11. A. F. Watson, was born In 1803, the son of John William Wat son or Adderstone hall, and the grnndnephew of the late Huron Arm strong of Cragside, through whom he Inherited his fortune. He was edu cated at Eton and Trinity college, Cambridge, later pursuing studies or a mechanical and engineering char acter. The great engineering establish- ment of Elswlck Is ono of tho most celebrated In the world. From nucleuB of 5'j acres the plant has grown to 230 acres, and when fully employed has 2S.00O workers. Tho weekly pay roll Involves tho dlstrlbu tion of about $200,000. In its shops were turned out some or tlio most formidable of the moder machine guns, tho deadly precision or wnieli tlio Japanese demonstrate Photographing Alfonso's Baby. After all, it's a consolation to the untitled mother to know that a royal baby is much like any other. Tho prince of Asturias, son of King Al fonso and Queen Enii of Spain, is as chubby and crotchety as the average Infant, and In Seville recently his proud parents had a most exciting time inducing him to pose for a photo graph. The little prince was held firmly in tho arms of his nurse, who bent backward to balance his weight. On ono side stood the queen, on the other the king, with the. photographer in tho middle clapping his hands, call ing attention to the mythical bird, Hashing gayly colored worsted globes and going through all the other mo tions useful in attracting a baby's eyes to tho camera. They got tho picture, but not until several plates wcro spoiled and the artist was almost ready to lose his temper in the pres ence of royally, which doubtless would havo meant being boiled in oil. And all to get a snapshot of perhaps 20 ounds of pink and white boy! In tho late war with Russia. Whllo the ArniHtrong works are chiefly noted for their high power guns they also embrace a shipbuilding department whence tho Abdul Humid, a 4,000-ton cruiser, was recently launched for tho Turkish navy. The rounder or the house or Arm strong was William G. Armstrong, who constructed a small shop to the west or Newcastle Tor tho manufac ture or tho various hydraulic machines which he, while still a solicitor, had begun to Invent. This was about GO yeai ago. Gunmaklng was begun at Elswlck In 1855, and It was largely the application or hydraulic mechan ism, or which the late Lord Armstrong had been a close student, that mado the working or the high-power artil lery poBsIble. Five years later captain, now Sir Henry Noble Joined the staff and ns managing director he did much toward the development or modern ordnance. Some or the largest guns used by the .lapnnoso during the late war fired a projectile weighing 850 pounds with, a velocity or 2,580 reel iter second. The energy or these huge shots is nearly 10,000 root-tons, measured at tho muz zle, and they are effective at. eight and ten miles' range. The evolution of hydraulic machinery, largely brought about at the Elswlck works, makes It possible to handle these ponderous engines with great rapidity. The present Lord Armstrong's most famous country place, Hamburgh cas tle, onco the homo of the kings of Northumbrla, is a historic place. It has been carefully restored and is now a comfortable house. Lord Armstrong and his wife are both devoted to out-ol-door sports and are keen motorists and fond of golf, shooting and fishing. LAETARE MEDAL IS AWARDED. Dr. J. C. Monaghan Recipient of Notre Dame University Honor. Notre Dame, Intl. Tho Laetare medal has been voted to Dr. James Charles Monaghan by the faculty of Nofro Damo university.

Ho was a delegate to the World's Commercial congress in 1899. In 1903 he assumed tho editorship of the bureau of foreign commerce in the department of commerce and labor.

A reunion or all tho Laetare medal ists is being planned for May 17 at Notre Damo. It. Is likely that tho 1908 honor will he bestowed upon Dr. Mon aghan at that time. The White Evening Waistcoat. Anything that breaks through the gloomy, funereal, waltereal aspect ot male evening dress Is to bo commend ed. Hut practically, as a general rule, the white evening waistcoat cannot bo effectively worn much after tho age of 21. Hlnck. It is well known, diminishes the proportions, but white undoubtedly Increases them. I seo men whom I havo hitherto considered to bo slim appear in white evening waistcoats and look absolutely corpulent. Lou don Graphic. Philippines' Coal Supply.

The sand of s Suhnra averages 30 feet in depth, but in Borne places It has been found 300 feet below the surface It Should at All Times Be a "Llvabl" Room. What to do with tho living room li a problem that confronts every house keeper. Tho living room should be in fact as well as In name a living room a Hvablo room. It is the room In which tho most of our time at home is spent, tho hours we hnve for leisure, the tlmo we have for play, tho placo where wo entertain our friends and it is absolutely essential that the walls and furnishings of the living room should bo harmonious In color, suitable in texture, and durable in material. The rich, soft, solid colored walls aro tho ideal walls for tho living rooms. They make a better back ground for pictures, throw the furni ture out In better relief, are less dis cordant with rugs and carpeting, and indlcato a higher degree of taste and culture than do tho colored mon strosities which wo paste on when we apply wall paper. Who ever saw roses climbing up a plastered wall growing out of a hard wood floor? Yet, that Is what wo suggest to the Imagination when we paste paper covered with roses on our wnlls. They aro neither artistic nor true. Roses are all very beauti ful, but they were never made to climb up Interior walls and they do not grow from hardwood flooring. Tho set figures of wall paper are also tiresome and equally disagreeable and repellant. The alabastlned wall is the only correct form of a tinted or solid col ored wall. Fortunately it is tho only clean way, and more fortunately it is tho only permanent way; the only way that does not involve the end less labor in the future. In lighting the walls some thought must be given tho color. Light colors reflect 85 of the light thrown upon them. Dark colors reflect but 15. Lighting bills can be saved by choos ing a color which will reflect the largest degree of light. In north rooms use warm colors or colors which reflect light. In south and west rooms sometimes tho light can bo modified by the use of darker colors. Dark greens absorb the light; light yellows reflect it; browns mod ify it, and so on, through the scale of colors. Tho color scheme of a room not only is dependent upon tho color of the carpetings but it is also dependent upon the light of tho room. The Thunder Cloud. Rt. Rev. Chauncey H. Brewster, D. D., bishop of Connecticut, told an Interesting story not long ago of a colored clergyman, who was far from being a brilliant preacher, and had the habit, when exhorting his breth ren, of shouting in a very loud tone of voice. The bishop thought ho reprove him, so suggested kindly that perhaps his sermons would have as good an effect, if delivered more soft ly. Hut the colored minister replied: "Well, you see, it's this way, bishop, I has to make up in thunder what I lacks in lightning." Harper's Weekly. CURE AT CITY MISSION. Awful Case of Scabies Body a Mass of Sores from Scratching Her Tortures Yield to Cuticura. "A young woman camo to our city mission in a most awful condition physi cally. Our doctor examined her and told us that she had scabies (the itch), incipient paresis, rheumatism, etc., brought on from exposure. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratch ing and she was not. able to retain solid food. We worked hard over her for seven weekB but wo could see little improve ment. One day I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuti cura Resolvent, and wo bathed our patient well and gavo her a full dose of the Resolvent. She slept better that night and tho next day I got a box of Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this young woman was able to look for a position, and she is now strong and well. Laura Jane Hates, 85 Fifth Ave., New York, N. Y., Mar. 11, 1907." Afraid of Reverses. "Why did you turn that young man down?" asked the gonial younger part nor. "Ho looked willing and capable." "Ho might havo been all that," growled tho crusty senior, "but I'm told he is an inveterate joker." "Well, Where's tho harm in that?" "It's this: Tho first thing he'll do If I take him on will be to unto me off." That an article mny bo good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package con taining one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for tho same money.
