We can readily believe that the list was not inflated. | The King of Sweden is 75 years old. ; Evidently Sweden doesn't share In the belief that a man is "a dead one" af ' ter he has passed the age of 35. | i Not only are the railroads complain ing that they are unable to get com petent men. but already similar mur- nnirings have begun to be heard from the leap year girls. English scientists have discovered a new poison , one whiff of which would , kill n whole roomful of people. Why j should scientists devote valuable time to the making of that kind of discov ery ? The trouble among the employes of the L'nSt'nl States Steel Corporation who invested in the stock of the cor poration reveals the one weakness of the profit-sharing idea. The beiieficiar- ; es do not enjoy sharing the losses. A Pennsylvania mail who is being t. e < l for § 15,000 for breach of promise wtys he would have married the girl if he had been able to earn more than $3 a week. It is hard to work up sym pathy for a girl who wants that kind of a man. The cable takes the trouble to In form the world that "great commo tion" has been caused at the Spanish court because Prince Louis Ferdinand of Bavaria dislocated "his finger. " Of course if he had only one we can un derstand the excitement , but otherwise we cannot fancy what words would bo used to describe the effect on the court had the prince dislocated his neck. Those persons who enjoy a good , square meal , in spite of what is said about the advantages of leaving a table with an appetite for more , will be glad of the indorsement from an eminent English physician , who says : "The human stomach works better wh slightly stretched just as the lungs work better with deep inhalations in duced by bodily exercise In the open air. " 1 No fewer whips are made in West- field , Massachusetts the largest whip- maklkig town in the world than were made before the automobile became popular. This seems to prove one of two things either that there are as many horses In use as formerly , or that more whips "are used upon each > f the remaining horses , because the automobiles in the road require that ntfmethiug be done to distract the at tention of the animals when tiiey meet the machines. Potatoes worth seven hundred and -flfty dollars a pound , or about thrice their weight in gold , would strike even a millionaire as something of a luxury , an Indeed they would be , for the table. That price was recently paid , however , at a market in England , not for a lux ury but for an investment The pota toes which brought this extraordinary figure of a hundred and fifty pounds a pound are a new variety , only a few of which have been raised , and those few are in great demand for seed. A single potato sold for seventy pounds sterling. Another variety sold for three hundred pounds fifteen hundred dollars a ton. Hereafter a gold-mine will be a weak metaphor for a proflt- xble enterprise.L'he real money-maker l > e "n perfect potato-field. " Dncle Sam is now doing a rushing business as a builder. He has fifty Rtractures. mostly postonlces , under vi contract , and nearly three times as viI viI many more under authorization. The I cost of buildings still uncompleted will e be almost a. > much as the total annual o expenditure of the government a half ll cenwtry ago , when the supervising ar lla llc chitect's office was established. The a construction of public buildings is one a of Uncle Sam's methods of "laying up y money. " He cannot put it out at Interest si sin terest in the savings banks like an or n dinary individual , but he can cut off f rents by owning his OWH business of houses. Yet he builds so much more t < substantially and therefore expensive ly tfinn private concerns that the rents f ( saved ordinarily amount to a very low 84 rate of interest on their cost , often less 84Si than the rate on government bonds. Sitl this is not wholly ft dollar-and- tl -cent matter. The dignity of the fed- 'eral government ; as well tt the con- Yenience of its officers , is Inrolved In 'taring suitable quarters for the trans action of public business. The present 81a supervising architect Is now employ a ing the style of architecture seen in 11tl the great Washington buildings , nota tl bly the Capitol , the Treasury and the tla /Wfclte / House. This will carry a gov a : ernment look to the national edifices la all parts of the country , so that they 01f may be distinguished at a fiance from f ( mercantile offices and collegiate insti lati tutions. It Is desirable that some defin tisi ite and reasonable rule should be ob- sift * erred In the Bmlection of places where ft public buildings are to be erected Some towns of four thousand inhabi tants have a government building ; oth ers of fo ty thousand have none. Thil result comes from Congressional log- rolling. This evil like the spoils sys tem will eventually disappear. Tax-dodging has become so widerj prevalent in the United States that its criminality has almost ceased to b < recognized. In every community , and especially In every large city , then are scor'cs of men whose word as tq every other matter is as good as theif bond , but who every year swear otf or otherwise evade the greatest par of their lawful taxes. Tax-dodging ii not only legally criminal , but It inflict * a moral and material injury on ai who do not practice it There is a cer tain amount of revenue that must bt raised for public purposes , and If the dishonest part of the community does not pay its share the honest part must pay more than Its share. The public official who tries to check this species - cies of wrong-doing Is certain to Incur - cur the 111 will of the individuals di- rectly affected , but he may repose in the assurance that his course will be heartily endorsed by the community as a whole. Some are decrying myths and fairj stones , others are denouncing prosaic moral tales for children. Dr. LeavitJ would deny youngsters the "Iliad" and "Odyssey" and have them devote the time given to classics to the Bible. Kov. Fred V. Hawley , secretary of the Western Unitarian conference , ques tions whether the Bible is a proper text book for Sunday schools , to say noth ing of allowing a child to peruse its pages according to its own Inclination , ilr. Hawley finds many Instances of wrong-doing in the Bible and he thinks the minds of children ought not to be * come familiar with these as they onght not to become acquainted with the pre * ceedings of criminal courts. OtheU Bible stories which he thinks lack a foundation of truth Mr. Hawley ob jects to giving to children who are too young to discriminate. What will coma of all this Interference In behalf of children asks the Chicago Chronicle. Does the child of to-day need such an Inordinate amount of protection that the limits of its mental range must bd rigidly prescribed ? Must it be fas tened to some secure literary stake in order that it shall not go astray ? Is it to be allowed no freedom of choice for fear it may learn to do evil ? The old- fashioned plan of admitting a child tea a good library and allowing It to range at will and select for itself may after all be quite as good as the present un certain method of beginning with lit erary pap and gradually giving dilu tions of more substantial stuff as the child grows older. Children with large imagination crave fairy tales , while those more logical demand that stories shall b < j true. Must both be forced through "the mythical period" just becaus * grave pedagogues have decided that ii best ? Is a boy to be denied Homei because there is a strange love affail mixed up with it ? Is a child to be glv en a mutilated Bible because humat 0 nature Is found there In all its ex 0V tremes of good and bad ? If childres V are to live In the world and to comt In contact with humanity , good , bai and indifferent , they will not be seri ously injured by reading what the : find in Homer or the Bible. Childrei are not such weaklings as older people would have them and a certain lati tude of reading is better for them thai too much restriction. KATE , 1HE BUMBOAT WOMAN An Odd Old Character Who Uannti Washington' * Navy Yard. d Kate , the bumboat woman , is thi title applied to an old creature wh ( has been haunting the Washingtor Navy Yard for the past forty years Her name is Kate Royal , and as fai trVI back and further than the oldest man VIED VIU connected with the yard can rernem U [ ber , Kate has been making daily t ps with her basket of candy , fruit , and no tions to sell to the sailors who visit Washington on Uncle Sam's boats. Kate has a speaking acquaintance with all the great men of the army and navy. She has letters and presents from the most of them , Including Ad mlrals Dewey , Sampson and Schley. Kate made her first visit to the yard during the civil war. She was a young woman In those days , and her bright Irish ways made her a great favorite In later years , when age began tc ED creep upon her , she began to form an EDSi opinion that she was an active and Indispensable part of the navy. She considered herself an enlisted person and became as .devoted to the cause as the tuost loyal man. It is just lortj years to-day since Kate began to con sider herself a sailor. She has had ten bi red enlistment stripes , representing four years each , placed upon a field bitt blue cloth , and this she will weai to-day to celebrate the occasion. tt : Kate Is a picturesque character. Hei form Is bowed beneath the weight ol seventy years and her face Is sea met e : with the marks of time. Only her eye > still retain the brilliancy of youth , and al they sparkle with the same Irish bu mor and good nature that gleamed from them forty years ago. Kate has no regular hours of bus ! ness. She Is on hand with the risinj sun , and the late hours of eveninj find her still on duty. She gathers he Jd little stock of trade around her undei the forecastle of one of the United States boa-ts laying up at the yard , and with the sailor boys lying around her on the floor , she will tell them tale * her youth or croon Irish melodies for them until the signal for lights on < passed around and the sailors seel W their swinging hammocks and Kati shoulders her basket of goods and van re Jers home.

Y. , says : "For eight years I suffered constant agony from kidney complaint I endured the worst torture from gravel and the kidney secretions were excessive and con tained sediment like brick dust I had to get out of bed from ten to twenty times a night and the loss of sleep wore me out Indigestion came on and the distress after eating was terrible. Doan's Kidney Pills effected a com plete and lasting cure , and after the symptoms of kidnej * trouble were gone my stomach began to work as it should.

A protected third rail , which has so often betu advocated for the elevated system in New York city , but has as often been judged a practical Impossi du bility by engineers of the Manhattan for Elevated compnny , is permanently InJ s-tailed for seventeen miles on the electric I > r tric road in Switzerland between Le if ifwi Fay el and Ghainounix. This protected wi is entirely successful and has * a been beset by none of the difficulties put forward by those opposed to its lo- for al adoption. 1 he protection Is afford- mil Hl by an insulated box of paraffined She tn hf > t-h. which makes contact with the -aS ? impossible except through the nar- .ow slit at the side toward the car , h rough which the metal connection with the motor of the car is estab- islu-d.
