has done for others because you ought this spring to take that which will do you the most good Americas Greatest Medicine because it cures when all others fail Be sure to get Hoods No Patriots in China As for the patriotism of the Chinese If it ever existed it is unquestionably a thing of the past At the time of the war with Japan China had two squad rons the main or northern squadron with headquarters at Port Arthur and and the southern squad ron composed of line Armstrong cruis ers of gunboats and torpedo boats As it was clear that the Japanese would carry the war into Manchuria and toward the gulf of Petchili tho southern squadron was ordered to pro ceed northward and to re enforce the northern licet Far from obeying the commanding admiral and his ollicers decided that being a great deal safer in the south they would quietly remain there and go up a river the entrance of which could be defended by torpedo mines which they hurried to lay Why in the name of Confucius should they have exposed themselves for the sake of defending the northern provinces About the same time the Chinese Government being in need of money to carry on the war decided that a small tax would be imposed upon the tea plantations most of whose proprietors are wealthy or at least well-to-do peo ple But these patriotic citizens in or der to avoid paying that small tax bog ged he foreign merchants to take the plantations in their names Illustrat ed American Lectured to Small Houses Pardon the old question said the tourist on the east bound Atlantic liner but how did the Americans im press you I

he would not have been his aunt and if it foretells a cold winter when the dogs bark is thickest on the north sid j of the house and if subterfuge will an swer the same purpose as febrifuge and how to preserve amenities so that they will keep all winter and how to cure a calf which stutters so badly wiien he bellows that his own mother doesnt recognize him ami how to util ize a job lot of surplus post holes and how to make a boot jack that will act ually jack a boot every time without fail and bow to prevent that full feel ing after drinking lavishly of hard cider and how much A and B must use

is the envy of all her friends Her bed is a throne like affair that was built in America After examining beds in the Parisian shops Mrs Mills decided that they were all lacking in the conveniences and comforts the modern American woman demands for her sleeping hours So she came home and of very plain oak her bed was built the lofty canopy frame put up the embroideries order ed from an American needlewoman hung and then the great curtains and coverlid were edged with forty pounds of bullion fringe These requisites for a perfect Marie Antoinette bed brought the price of it up far into the thou sands but the end was not yet A wonderful foundation of spiral steel springs first lined the inside of the couch on the top of this a thin felt mattress was placed and then on top a hair bed slipped in a big silken cover before sheets or blankets or blankets could be laid on Finally the head board decorated by the brush of an American artist was put into place and lastly the electrician was called in to give the finishing touches The good oees of the electrician war not an original idea on the part of Mrs Mills for all the new beds builr for comfort as well as beauty have first of all a tiny button that anyone lying on the pillow can easily reach up touch and turn on the light in a gioup of bulbs artistically arranged in the headboard In Mrs Mills bed a couple of gilded Cupids in this board hold each a spray of lights that shed their ra diance down softly over the pillow at the exact angle needed for comfortable reading To make the light perfectly agreeable and easy for the eyes the globes of glass are first ground and then treated with a varnish Hint sub dues the hard electric glare A Wonder Room There is a curious room in Chicago It is in one of the most imposing man sions of the city a mansion famed tor its dinners and balls This little room is fashioned of mirrors Ceiling floor and walls are all of mirrors some of which are convex and concave some flat The door is also of looking glass and it opens with a spring which it is not easy to find One of the jests of the household is to entice a guest into the glittering room close the door and leave him for a few moments to find his way out The effect upon the senses is bewildering The occupant sees himself in grotesque shapes all around He is dogged with caricatures of himself He sees himself with a fat and swelling face and with an elonga ted and phiz he perceives himself squat as a dwarf and towering like a beanpole and can find no escape from these absurd presentments of himself A Prompt Boy Small boy

Entravagpnce The great display of jewels by women of fashion on both sides of the ocean has been severely criticised even by those who could well afford to wear them if they desired to But if the precedent of hisury furnishes any jus tification of this fashion the jewel wearers of the present day are thor oughly justified According to Pliny Lollia Paulina the wife of Caligula wore on her head arms neck hands and waist pearls and emeralds to the value of one million six hundred and eightj thousand dollars Faustina had a ring worth two hundred thousand dollars Domitia had one worth three hundred thousand dollars and Kae sonia had a bracelet worth four hun dred thousand dollars Seneca be wails that one pearl in each ear no longer suffices to adorn a woman they must have three the weight of which ought to be insupportable to them There were women of ancient Rome whose sole occupation was the heal ing of the ears of the belles who had torn or otherwise injured the lobes with the weight of their pendants Pop paeas ear rings were worth seven hun dred and fifty thousand dollars and Caesars wife Calpurnia had a pair valued at twice that sum Marie de Medici had a dress made for the cere monj of the baptism of her children which was trimmed with thirty two thousand pearls and three thousand diamonds and at the last moment she found it was so heavy she could not wear it and had to get another But men led in the splendor of the middle ages and Philip the Good of Burgundy often wore jewels valued at two hundred thousand dollars When he walked along the streets the people climbed over each other to look at him The Duke of Buckingham wore a suit at the Court of St James which cost four hundred thousand dollars The dress of the nobles during the middle ages was literally covered with gold and precious stones San Francisco Chronicle Playful lfog Causes Dtiatli Mrs Gregory aged 07 years living ar Datchworth near Hatfield England has just met with her death under ex traordinary circumstances Her collie dog in its excess of affection jumped up at her violently and knocked ber down causing serious injuries to which -he succumbed At the inquest Dr Hodges proved that
