Some Expend at Least $2 0,000 Each on Wardrobe.
ihe modern American Beau Brum
mel expends $20,000 a year for his
clothes. The original Beau Brummel
was an exquisite, who dressed that the
world might gaze upon him in won
der and admiration. His twentieth
century representative cares not a
whit for mere externals, but he is a
heritable sybarite. “Thousands for
comfort, but not one cent for per
fumes,” is the paraphrase which
might fit the well-dressed man of to- ;
day. He leaves faddishness and i
scents to dancing masters and hair- ;
dressers and asks to be merely well
groomed. It is not New York’s multi
millionaires alone who expend this
amount on clothes. Boston, Philadel
_ _ __ —
phia, Washington, Chicago, St. Louis,
Denver and San Francisco all boast
their quota of sartorial spendthrifts,
but ceitain New York firms, haber
dashers, trousersmakers (the term tail
or is obsolete) and importers of men's
wear practically control the extrava
gant trade.
Men like the Vanderbilts. Goulds
and Astors, who have both country
and city homes, have their wardrobes
in duplicate; that is. one complete
wardrobe is maintained in the town
house and on.1 in the country, and
clothing is not carried back and forth.
This keeps the garments in better
condition and is well worth extra ex
pense.
THE LOSS FROM STRIKES.
Labor Disturbances Cost an Immense
Amount of Money.
The statistics on this subject show a
loss to the country from strikes that
is simply appalling. We, who are so
familiar with the word “strike” that
we scarcely give it a second glance
while reading our papers, have not tae
slightest conception of the vast
amount of money that has been lost
through labor disturbances.
Available figures show that in the
1 twenty years between 1881 and 190U
there were 22,793 strikes, which cost
the country in wages, expenses and
direct loss of trade the enormous sum
of $396,769,392! During the same pe
riod there were 1,005 lockouts, costing
$72,199,189, making a total of $468
968,581!
Here is a loss of almost half a
billion dollars figured from three items
only—that is, loss of wages, assist
ance, or money advanced to strikers
Ly their sympathizers, and loss to em
ployers. It would be a fair computa
tion to estimate an equal sum lost dt
rectiy and indirectly by the general
public because of the strikes.
Total, *one billion dollars in twenty
years!—Woman’s Home Companion.
Agency Formed to Jog the Memory.
The frequent cases of weakness or
loss of memory which threaten to
make this age remarkable have given
rise in Vienna to the establishment of
a “Memento Agency.” whose function
is to relieve of anxiety those people
who can not rely on their own recol
ection with regard to future engage
ments. The agency issues a double
envelope to its clients. In one, on
which you write your name, address
and the date on which you wish to
have your memory jogged, you inclose
a note of the particular business of
which you want reminding. You seal
it up and send it, in the second en
velope, to the agency, which returns
you the inclosure exactly at the de
sired time. You are thus freed from all
intermediate worry. There is only one
possible flaw in this arrangement.
Who can guarantee that the employes
of the agency will not also lapse into
forgetfulness?
Money Invented in Railroads.
Of the sum which had been invested
in the world’s railroads at the close
of 1902 it is estimated, according to
the English Railway Magazine, that
more than £3.760,000,000 has been
spent on 184.000 miles of European
railroad and £3.232,000,000 on the
337,000 miles owned by the rest of the
^ world. On this basis it is found that
the road* of Europe represent an in
vestment of £22.952 a mile, while
those of the rest of the world average
£11,405. Great Britain’s railroads rep
resent the highest cost per mile, fig
ures standing at £51.368. while those
of Belgium come next with £30,048.
Putting It Delicately.
“Henry," said Mrs. Fussy as they
wrnt in to dinner, “I wish you would
tell Willie in some way. so it will not
offend him, that he takes too much
sugar in his coffee. It isn’t good for
him, and I know his mother wouldn’t
allow it.”
‘•Willie,” said Mr. Fussy a few min
utes later, turning to the young
nephew who was visiting him, “you
don’t mix quite enough coffee with
your sugar.”—Boston Post.
Japanese Army Telegraph.
Electricity never played so import
ant a role as it does at present in the
!ar East. The Japanaese generals use
noth telegraph and telephone in is
suing their commands. A.s soon as
firing is heard in any direction bam
boo poles are planted and wires
strung, and in a short time the line
is ready for use.

By flying 301 miles in four hours,

SPRUNG FROM SAME SOURCE.
Whale and Lion Said to Be of Identi
cal Origin.
As every one knows or ought to
know, the whale is not a fish, but
mammal, and zoologists have long
pondered and disputed about its fam
ily tree. In Eocene times the ances
tors of mammals were beginning to
take shape somewhat like those of to
day and to lose the grotesqueness in
herited front their reptilian progeni
tors. To be sure, animals were very
different from those of to-day. Horses
were no larger than dogs and had
five toes, while cattlelike tinoceras,
twice the size of an ox, with six horns,
tusklike teeth and five toes, cropped
the heritage of Wyoming. Along wi*h
these peculiar plant feeders there
dwelt some very primitive flesh eat
ers, to which Prof. Cape gave the
name of ereadonta.
The scene shifts to modern times.
Prof. Fraas of Stuttgart, Germany, is
delving in the rocks near Cairo,
Egypt. He is getting out huge jaw
bones that have been petrified. The
jawbones are those of whales and the
rocks near Cairo were, in Eocene
times, the seashore. The professor
has studied his whale jaws and com
pared their teeth with other fossil
teeth. Now he tells us in a recent
Abhandlungen that these teeth of an
cient whales are like those of the
ancient carniverous creodonts. From
this he argues that on Eocene or ear
lier times some primitive flesh eater
took to an aquatic life. From these
old times to the present whales have
been becoming more fishlike.
It is hard to believe that the raven
ous lion and inoffensive and toothless
whale of to-day had a common ances
tor, yet they both have the same
tastes for blood, only the whale swal
lows his food whole.
Don't Grow Old.
Many women become middle-aged
from the simple reason that they al
low middle-aged habits to steal upon
them, and relapse into a state of phys
ical indolence just at a time when
they should fight against this ten
dency to give up exercise, says Worn
j an's Life. “The best preventatives
against growing middle-aged,” says a
j charming woman of 45, whose un
wrinkled face and slim figure give
her the appearance of being at least
15 years younger than her real age,
“are cheerfulness, a strict determina
tion not to worry over trifles, and a
sense of humor that saves one from
depression. A cold tub every morn
ing. a walk every day in rain and sun
shine, face massage with cold cream
at night, ten minutes’ physical exer
cise immediately on rising, friction of
the hair to stimulate its growth, will
keep any woman free from wrinkles,
and will preserve the contour of her
figure.
Servant Problem an Old One.
How ancient is the servant prob
lem? A correspondent quotes from a
letter dated North Yarmouth, Maine.
March 26, 1785, as follows: “I have
been without any but Betsy about a
fortnight, and am determined to con
tinue so rather than endeavor to hire
one of this country. The pride of in
dependence is so prevalent here that
the people had rather slave at home
than live in my kitchen in plenty,
j Were I to take them to my table they
j would have no objection to oblige me.
i The want of good domestics is general,
j therefore I have less reason to com
j plain, but I wish a method could be
! found to render us less dependent
j upon them.”

ENOUGH TO MAKE HIM SWEAR.
Money in His Pocket When He
Thought He Was Penniless.
“I was brought up to use a good line
of talk.” says a young man who lives
out near the Catholic university,
“i’ve been married now six months,
and the only time my wife has ever
heard a curse word from my lips was
last Sunday morning. I went to a
poker party over by the navy yard
Saturday night. My wife knew 1 was
going, and just to show her what a
harmless little game it was going to
be I gave her most of my money be
fore I left home. It was a very mild
game we played, but the grain of the
table was against me and by midnight
I was broke. I didn’t want to make a
touch right there, so. as 1 was young
and strong, I concluded I’d stroll
downtown and borrow car fare of a
newspaper man I knew. It was a nice
night for a walk. Well, I frisked into
the newspaper man’s office and found
that he'd gone to Baltimore. I’ve
lived in Washington all my life, but I
am not known at any hotel. There
was no place where I'd be allowed to
stay without baggage except on the
C. O. D. basis, so off I set for home,
alone in the starry night, with a
brand-new pair of patent leathers on.
I romped under the wire two lengths
ahead of the milkman and went to
bed. Along about 9 o'clock my wiie
came in and woke me.
“‘What's the matter?’ I said. ‘Are
they ready to amputate my feet?’
“T just wanted some money for the
Sunday papers,’ said she, picking up
my vest.
“ ‘You'll have to pawn something,' I
said. ‘I'm brtike.’
“She was poking in my watch pock
et.
“ ‘Don't take my watch.’ I said.
“ ‘I don’t want it.’ she answered. ‘I
want that $5 bill I put here before
you went away.’
“It was there too. I bet you any
man would hare said exactly what 1
said.”
LONG SIEGES IN HISTORY.
Some Gallant Defenses Made by Be
leaguered Garrisons.
The longest siege of antiquity was
that of Ashdod by the Egyptians. Ac
cording to one authority it lasted nine
teen years. Another fixes it at tvven
ty-r.ine years. Fabled Troy was he
sieged for ten years.
The siege of Jerusalem hv Titus
A. D. 7**, though not the longest, was
the most sanguinary on record. Syra
cuse. 214 B. C.. held out against the
Romans for three years, and Carthage
resisted them. 147 B. C.. for two years
Famous among sieges was that of Par
ma. which capitulated in 1585 after a
year's investment.
Candia. in Crete, surrendered to the
Turks ir. 1669 atter a siege of twenty
four years, during which, it is said
200,000 were slain. Gibraltar success
fully resisted the Spaniards ant1
French from July 16, 1779, to Feb. 5,
1783.
Among modern sieges that of Se
vastopol. 1854-55, is interesting, inas
much as the besieged were Russians
Sevastopol and Port Arthur are sea
ports. When the former was investee
the Russians blockaded the harbot
with sunken battleships. When the
evacuation took place they sank all ol
their remaining ships. The siege ol
Sevastopol lasted 349 days, during
which the besieged were heavily rein
forced.
If You and I—
If love were what the rose is.
And I were like the leaf.
Our lives would grow together
In sad or singing weather.
Rlown fields or flowerful closes.
Green pleasures or gray grief;
If love were what the rose is.
And I were like the leaf.
If I were what the words are.
And love were like the tune.
With double sound and single
Delight our lips would mingle,
With kisses glad as birds are
That get sweet rain at noon;
If 1 were what the words are.
And love were like the tune.
If you were Apiil's lady.
And I were lord in May.
We rl throw with leaves for hours.
And draw for days with flowers,
Till day like night were shady.
And night were bright like day;
If you were April's lady.
And 1 were lord in May.
If you were queen of pleasure.
And I were king of pain.
We'd hunt down love together.
Pluck out his flying-feather.
And teach his feet a measure.
And find his mouth a rein:
If you wrere queen of pleasure,
And 1 were king of pain.
—Swinburne.
Prevention of Railroad Wrecks.
In the good time coming there wil
not be any single-track railroads no:
any trains going in opposite direction:
on the same track; grade crossing:
will have been abolished, the road
beds, tracks and rolling stock of al
roads will be as sound and safe a&
science, skill and money can make
tbem. and no effort to insure safety
will be spread. Very few of our enor
mous aggregate of deaths and injur
ies by rail would have occurred had
all of these conditions been present
It is the absence of most of them that
piles up the appalling list. So long as
that absence exists the slaughtering
will go on. It will decrease in pro
portion to the extent to which the
obvious causes are removed.—Wash

Fruit Culture in Ireland.
Sir Horace Plunkett, presiding at a
conference of fruit grow-ers held at
Ballsbridge, Dublin, said that the
farmers of the north of Ireland,
where the soil was not the most suit
able, had built up a fruit industry
which was an object lesson to the
rest of the country. From the one
station of Annamore, county Armagh,
the strawberries dispatched by rail
had risen from 100 tons to 700 tons in
the course of a few years.

by the triumphs they arc winning in the
rapid cure of obstinate maladies, such as
rheumatism. With speed they combine
convenience, perfect safety and cheap

Here is fresh proof of Iheir concen
trated virtues: Mrs. Margaret Gautz,
of No. 1327 Bodoman street, Burlington,
Iowa, is an industrious German woman,
who about two and a half years ago
found herself in danger of losing her
: power to work altogether. She says : '
“ I got rheumatism which made my j
knees and elbows very stiff and painful. :
1 had difficulty in raising my arms and
I could hardly lift my feet over my i
j doorstep. I ought, to have gone to bed,
I but I couldn’t afford to do that, so I
1 forced myself to work in spite of the pain
I ami stiffness. After suffering for about
six months, I was told about Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People by a
friend, who said she hail been cured by
them. On her advice, I bought one box
and in two weeks after I began to use
them I was well and I have lmd no need !
to use them now for nearly two years.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills are a good med
icine and if I ever have rheumatism
again I will get a box right away. I
have told many friends what they did
for me and I am glad to have everybody
1 know.”
This is valuable news to all who suf
fer from rheumatism. These pills have
also cured stubborn cases of locomotor
ataxia, partial paralysis, St.'Vitus’ dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headache,
palpitation of the heart and all forms of
I weakness in male or female.

M iss Nettie Blackmore, Minneapolis,
tells how any young woman may be per
manently cured of monthly pains by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
“Young Women: — I had frequent headaches of a severe nature,
dark spots before my eyes, and at my menstrual periods I suffered
untold agonv. A member of the lodge advised me to try Lydia F.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, but I only scorned good advice and
felt that my case was hopeless, but she kept at me until I bought a
bottle and started taking it. I soon had the best reason in the world to
change my opinion of the medicine, as each day my health improved, and
finally I was entirely without pain at my menstruation periods. I am most
grateful.”—Nettie Blackmore, 28 Central Ave., Minneapolis, Minn.
^—_ _ - Painful Periods - A
are quickly and permanently overcome by Lydia E. Pinkliam’*
Vegetable Compound. The above letter is only one of hundreds of
thousands which prove this statement to be a fact. Menstruation
is a severe strain on a woman’s vitality, — if it is painful something
is wrong. Don’t take narcotics to deaden the pain, but remove.
the cause — perhaps it is caused by irregularity or womb displace-i

F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is guaranteed to cure it.
If there is anything about your case about which yon would like special
advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. She will treat your letter as strictly
confidential. She can surely help you. for no person in America can speak
