In a report in the London Times It Is stated that the Cape to Cairo rail way in South Africa has been opened so as to run over the Kafue river on a bridge which stands on 13 spans, each 100 feet, with pillars resting on a bed 16 feet under the water. Ka fue river is 266 miles north of Victoria falls, and the distance from Cape Town is 1,908 miles. The railroad, however, is now at Broken hill, 347 miles beyond the falls, the line having been pushed on while the bridge was building over the Kafue river. His Interest Was Personal. An eccentric member of the British parliament who died recently endeav ored vainly during a quarter of a cen tury to get passed into law a bill foT preventing persons from standing out side windows while cleaning them. During his last session the old fellow complained to a colleague that his ob ject in introducing the bill had been quite misunderstood by the house for these 25 years. “I introduced the bill,” said he, "not for the sake of the window cleaners, but for the sake of the people below, on whom they might fall. The idea of the bill was suggest ed to me by the fear that a window cleaner might fall on myself.” Products enable you to enjoy your meals without having to spend half your time between them over a hot cook-stove.

Linen bags, either in white or col ors, and embroidered in the owner’s own monogram, are one of the latest whims of fashion, and a very sensible one it is, for these bags not only give a finishing touch to the linen cos tume, but can be put in the tub al most as often as the gown itself. The possibilities of short lengths of ribbon and lace, bits of linen, lawn or silk are simply wonderful, if they happen to fall into skilled hands, while even the veriest amateur can produce really charming results, sup posing her taste is good, and all at little or no cost beyond industry. While you are planning the things to take with you on your summer trip don’t forget to make a laundry bag or two. A gayly printed cretonne bag for closet or room door (if you are pressed for space) is a boon, and what is even more satisfactory is a big bag made of white or unbleached muslin, in which to send the clothes away. It should be plainly marked with your name written in indelible ink. Those who make their afghans will be delighted with the number of pret ty stitches that are being used this year. There is the biscuit stitch, which is raised, and on the right side looks like a series of narrow buns, about half an inch wide and two inches long. The reverse side, show ing these biscuits hollow, is not so attractive. Made in browns, from a deep nut shade to a light tan, this stitch may be worked into a really beautiful coverlid. — Chicago Daily News. COLORING IN MILK. Utah Food Commissioner Tells How It May Be Detected. There are several ways, according to John Peterson, food commissioner of Utah, in which the presence of col oring matter in milk may be detected. If an aniline dye has been added to give a rich, creamy appearance to thin, blue milk, a little vinegar mixed with the milk, after first heating the latter, will produce curds of a dis tinctly orange hue. If caramel has ■ been employed the curds will turn brown with the addition of the vine gar. Whenever milk or cream is al lowed to stand in a clear glass bottle for 12 hours or more it will separate into watery and creamy layers. If the lower layer is yellow it is a proof of the presence of artificial coloring of some sort, and whenever milk or cream is kept in a warm place for 48 hours, and still remains sweet, it is pretty safe to assume that a preserv ative has been used. In fact, the keeping sweet of many an article of food under conditions which should make it spoil or ferment readily is a sign that the thing in questoin has been tampered with. For the Home Dressmaker. Not a few home dressmakers over look the fact that when putting on a collar the neck of the bodice or blouse should be slightly smaller than the base of the collar band and the bodice notched here and there while putting the collar on. By do ing this wrinkles are avoided. Again, when cutting out sleeves, to avoid the disaster of cutting both for the same arm, fold the material either face to face or back to back. Place the pattern on it and cut both to gether. A proper pair of sleeves is bound to be the result. Make the under part of the sleeve double, so that it can be darned, as this wears out sooner than the up per. Don’t forget to do plenty of tacking and pressing. To neglect these two points stamps a garment as "home-made” at once. Always shrink a new braid before sewing to a skirt In shortening a skirt pattern, too, always fold a plait across the middle of the pattern. Never shorten from the top or bot tom of the skirt, or the shape will be spoiled. A rolling-pin, with a cloth round it, makes a good pressing board. Woman’s Fondness for Finery. Anthropologists will tell us that women dress to catch beaux and Dar win gives long pages to prove that thd pretty colors, stripes, spots and forms of animals originated in the superior luck of individuals endowed by chance with attractive variations. Selection of mates went by beauty, and pretty feathers made the pretty bird. But as respects humankind that play of evolution is obsolete. Among wild animals and primitive races it may still hold good, but everybody that knows anything knows that nowadays in cultured communities women dress for other women, not for men. Men are incapable of comprehending and appreciating the niceties and refine ments of feminine dress. For whose admiration, for example, is the bride’s trousseau created? It is evidently and confessedly beyond the bridegroom’s powers and he ignores it—stupid thing that he is. Dress, in short, is a fine art which women pursue in and for itself and the educated taste they bring to bear upon it lifts it above all other decorative arts.—Baltimore Sun To Clean Combs. Brushes and combs can be perfectly cleansed with clear water and ammo nia. Do not let the handles of the brushes get wet. After thoroughly wetting the bristles, place the brushes, back downward, in the sunshine, and let them remain there until dry. Good Mouth Wash. Equal quantities of lemon Juice, lis terine and glycerine make an excel lent mouth wash. Product of the Times. The well bred man of pleasure Is gradually dying out and giving place to the tearing, rushing, money grab bing, excitement hunting, slangy, mannerless, selfish devotee of horse flesh and chorus girls we meet so often in the drawing-rooms of duch esses and countesses to-day.—M. A. P. Honesty Before Everything. "Be honest, work hard, ami save," said John D. Rockefeller to his Cleve land Sunday-school class. "Honesty is the basis of all character, and there can be no real success without It" POPE’S STRONG COMMON SENSE. Pontiff Refused to Be Made an Invalid by a Pen Prick. The following story is told of Pius X. by the Rome correspondent of the London Pall Mall Gazette: The other day he was writing at his desk, when his pen began to splutter. He decided to change it, but it stuck, and it was only after a strong pull that it came out, promptly pricking him under his nail, far which probably he would have followed the natural Impulse to put It in his mouth, and we would have heard nothing more of the incident had there not been an ink stain also. His exclamation brought his secretary, who washed away the blood with disinfectants, to obviate microbes, and bound it up, at the same time suggesting a doctor’s visit. “No, no,” said the pontiff laughing, “it would be known to the press at once; I should be killed and buried by them before he could arrive!” Those surrounding him would have liked to make the slight mishap an excuse for stopping the audiences, but Pius X. was somewhat annoyed at the sugges tion, saying, “Enough, enough! What is a pen-prick! You make me ridic ulous. I have not ceased to be a man and become a baby!” So he was present at the ceremony in commemo ration of his predecessor, making jokes about his bandaged finger. GOOD COLORS FOR HOUSES. It is not generally known—not even among painters—why certain tints and colors wear much better than others on houses, and the knowledge of just what tints are best to use is, therefore, rather hazy. One writer on paint, in a recent book, says that experiments seem to show that those colors which resist or turn back the heat: rays of the sun, will protect a house better than those which allow these rays to pass through the film. Thus red is a good color because it turns back, or reflects, the red rays, and the red rays are the hot rays. In general, therefore, the warm tones are good and the cold tones are poor, so far as wear is concerned. In choosing the color of paint for your house, select reds, browns, grays and olives which, considering the va rious tones these tints will produce, will give a wide range from which to choose. Avoid the harsh tints, such as cold yellows (like lemon), cold greens (like grass green, etc.), and the blues. It must be understood that no vir tue is claimed for tints in themselves, irrespective of the materials used in the paint. Any color will fade, and the paint will scale off, if adulterated white lead or canned paint is used, but if one is careful to use the best white lead—some well-known brand of a reliable manufacturer—and gen uine linseed oil, the warm tints men tioned above will outwear the same materials tinted with the cold colors. PUTTING IT RATHER ROUGHLY. Leading Question Asked of Methodical Writer. There is a certain writer in Boston —a man cf remarkable versatility— who once gave a friend in the publish ing business in New York a resume of the details of his average day’s work. "I am as methodical in my work,” said the Boston writer, “as any bus iness man. My daily tasks are so di versified and so arranged that I am able to afford myself considerable va riety during the 12 hours per ditfn that I employ in authorship. For in stance, from eight in the morning to ten I do my verse; from ten to 12 my criticisms; from three to five I am en gaged upon a history of the world in tended for perusal by children.” And so he continued to givo his visitor the whole scheme. When he had con cluded, the New Yorker, an exceding ly blunt Individual, rather unkindly inquired: “And when, sir, do you think?” Carter of Veteran Engineer. Charles Haynes Haswell, 97 years old, is a practicing engineer in New York city, and was an interesting fig ure at the laying of the new Engin eers’ clubhouse corner stone by Mrs. C^arnegie the other day. He saw Rob ert Fulton’s first steamboat on the Hudson river, and expects to take a prominent part in the Fulton and Clermont centennial next year. In the civil war he was chief of the engineer corps in Gen. Burnside’s expedition and received high praise for his work. Gen. Mercier in England. Gen. Mercier, who has fled from Paris to England, where he hasn’t been enthusiastically received, once delivered in the French senate an elaborate speech on the feasibility of invading England. MORE THAN MONEY. A Minister Talks About Grape-Nuts. “My first stomach trouble began back in 1895,” writes a minister in Nebr., “resulting from hasty eating and eating too much. I found no re lief from medicine and grew so bad that all food gave me, great distress. “It was that sore, gnawing, hungry feeling in my stomach that was so distressing and I became a sick man Grape-Nuts was recommended as a food that could be easily digested. “Leaving the old diet that had given me so much trouble, I began to eat Grape-Nuts with a little cream and sugar. The change effected in 24 hours was truly remarkable, and in a few weeks I was bhck to health again. "My work as a minister calls me away from home a great deal, and re cently I drifted back to fat meat and indigestible foods, which put me again on the sick list. “So I went back to Grape-Nuts and cream and in four days I was put right again. The old dull headaches are gone, stomach comfortable, head clear, and it is a delight to pursue my studies and work. “Grape-Nuts food is worth more than money to me, and I hope this may Induce some sufferer to follow the same course I have.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. “There’s a reason.” Read the little book, “The Road to WellvUle,” to pfcgg, COULD NOT KEEP UP. Broken Down, Like Many Another Woman, with Exhausting Kid ney Troubles. Mrs. A. Taylor, of Wharton, N. J, says: "I had kidney trouble in its most painful and severe form, and the torture I went mrougn now seems to have been al most unbearable. 1 had back-ache, pains in the side and loins, dizzy Bpells and hot„ feverish I headaches. There were bearing-down pains, and the kid* ney secretions passeu luu irequeuuy, aim wua a burning sensation. They showed sed iment I became discouraged, weak, languid and depressed, so sick and weak that I could not keep up. As doctors did not cure me 1 decided to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, and with such success that my troubles were all gone after using eight boxes, and my strength, ambition and general health is fine.” Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo. N. Y. GAS USED UNDER LIME KILN3. Innovation by Connecticut Company Is a Success. The New England Lime company, of Winstead, Conn., asserts that it is the first to introduce gas as fuel for lime burning. The method is pro nounced an entire success. The grow ing scarcity of wood fuel led to the discovery of gas as a substitute for wood, and the company no longer con siders the gas method an experiment. The efficacy and reliability of gas have been demonstrated beyond a doubt. Had it been impossible to find a substitute for wood, said a member of the company, it would have meant the restriction and perhaps the total abandonment of the business. Gas fires are absolutely clean at all times —no clinkers and no cinders—and the lime produced is much whiter than that burned by wood. Gas also pro duces a more intense heat, and conse quently increases the capacity of the kilns. The daily output at the com pany’s kilns is increased from 80 bar rels per kiln to 100 barrels, or a total of 700 barrels daily. DOCTOR CURED OF ECZEMA. Maryland Physician Cures Himself— Dr. Fisher Says: “Cuticura Rem edies Possess True Merit.” “My face was afflicted with eczema in the year 1897. I used the Cuticura Remedies, and was entirely cured. I am a practicing physician, and very often prescribe Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Soap in cases of eczema, and they have cured where other for mulas have failed. I am not in the habit of endorsing patent medicines, but when I find remedies possessing true merit, such as the Cuticura Rem edies do, I am broad-minded enough to proclaim their virtues to the world. I have been practicing medicine for sixteen years, and must say I find your Remedies A No. 1. You are at liberty to publish this letter. G. M. Fisher, M. D., Big Pool, Md., May 24, 19°5.”_ Rice Eater*. In China and its dependencies, with a population of 400,000,000, or 25 per cent, of the total population of the world, rice is the principal food sup ply. The same may be said also of India, with its population of 575,000, 000, and Japan, with its 40,003,000. In addition to these it is a chief article of diet with other peoples of Asia and Africa, whose population is estimated at 100,000,000. The total reaches 815, 000,000, or 50 per cent, of the total population of the earth.—Boston Globe. A Good Opening for Young Men. WANTED: Students to learn den tistry.

Emperor William’s father died of cancer of the throat. Emperor William himself had Infantile paralysis^ and has had to struggle with many infirmities. It has been whispered that he himaelf is troubled with the same malady which carried off his father. Royal blood is un fortunately most generally deteriorated blood. Emperor William knows this as well as anybody, and is doing his best to eradicate the Dad blood from himself and his family by the adoption of simple life principles. Through the visit of a countryman of his to Battle Creek, Michigan, while in this country, visiting the World’s Fair in Chicago in 1893, Emperor William became acquainted with the Battle Creek idea of simple living and has to a large extent adopted the methods in his family. His wife and children live the simple fife and take Battle Creek light baths. Their uncle, King Edward, also has these baths installed in his Windsor and Buckingham Palaces (or the use of himself and Queen Alexandra.

The Laxative or* 1 Known Quality There are two classes of remedies; those of known qual ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist- ! anee; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor.
