have grown in favor by reason of their
superior curative virtues and their safe
and harmless qualities.

AIY HEIR TO VAST WEALTH.
Millions of Dollars in Store for John
D. Rockefeller III.
Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Is the
mother of an eleven-pound boy who
finds himself heir to more millions
than he will probably ever be able to
spend.
At the -lowest estimate, thle youngs
ter, upon whose shoulders, if he lives,
will fall the weight of the vast Rocke
feller accumulation of money, is
worth ' $11,000,000 or $12,000,000 a
pound. His share in the fortune of
his granfather, which will be placed
in trust for him when the old man
dies, will increase enormously be
tween then and the attainment of his
majority.
Until the advent of the new Rocke
feller heir, the favorite grandchild of
John D. Rockefeller was Fowler Mc
Corraick, the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Harold G. McCormick of Chicago, the
latter having been Edith Rockefeller.
There is one other child in the direct
line, but it is a girl. The eldest child
of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is Abby
Mrs. J. R. Rockefeller, Jr.
Rockefeller, who is three and one
half years old. There are several
other grandchildren.
Cause of American Superiority.
Hjalman Cassel, a Swedish engi
neer who visited this country during
the St Louis fair, has written a book
on "American Business Methods." In
one chapter he asks the question: "Is
the superiority of American industry
based on better machinery?" This,
he thinks, is not the case, though he
finds American tools and machines su
perior to those of Europe. The rea
son for the superioritj' lies, in the au
thor's opinion, in the better organiza
tion of offices and factories, the me
thodical supervision of every detail,
the constant watchfulness that no
single branch of a business fall be
hind, and last but not least, the min
ute division of labor.
Secretary Shaw Obeyed Rules.
Every now and then Secretary
Shaw bumps into a watchman who
doesn't know him even by sight. That
happened only a few mornings ago.
The secretary was a little late. The
rule is that when an employe comes in
late he must register his name and
set down the time when he arrived.
The watchman who didn't know the
secretary opened the door and asked
him if he was an employe of the treas
ury. "Guess so," rather nonchalantly
remarked the late comer. "Then the
books for yours," remarked the watch
man, "yon know the rules." So the
secretary walked over to the big book
and wrote "L. M. Shaw, 9:05 a. m."
Sir Henry Keppel a Humorist.
A recently published biography of
Admiral Sir Henry Keppel, whom
Queen Alexandra used to affectionate
ly call "my little admiral," contains
some stories of the humorous vein
possessed by this specimen of the old
time British sailor. When visiting in
the country at one time he came back
from a day's shooting and said to his
hostess: "I've had a fine day's sport.
Shot two woodcocks, ten pheasants, a
rabbit and your son." One time he
telegraphed to his wife: "How are
you and where can I find you?" Lady
Keppel replied: "Am quite well and
you can't find me." The admiral died
two years ago at the age of 95.
Might Better Have Raised Pay.
The House of Representatives in
Washington spent an hour and a half
the other afternoon discussing a point
of order raised by Hardwick of Geor
gia against a proposition to raise the
pay of a coal weigher from $720 to
$S20 a year. The discussion was con
stitutional in scope and resulted in de
feating the measure. The coal weigh
er will not get his $100 raise, but It is
calculated that the time used by the
house in discussing and defeating the
$100 increase cost the government
more than $1,000.
Lcoks for Change in Stage.
An opinion from Bronson Howard,
the well-known dramatist: "Like al
most every one else who has seen
forty years of theatrical life, I think
the stage just now is overburdened
with scenery and swamped with ex
travagant clothes. This condition can
not be -kept up much longer. The
managers can not stand it It is too
expensive and the rivalry between
them, each trying to outdo the other,
must bring about a reaction that will
do away with the whole scheme."

BROUGHT HIM DOWN TO EARTH.
Public Printer Stillinga Encounter
With Senator Dick.
It is getting to be almost as difficult
to reach Public Printer Stillings in
Washington as it is to get speech
with the president. The Boston man
has given strict orders to hold np all
who would intrude upon his privacy,
even if they come on public business.
The other day a man got into the
sacred presence unannounced and Mr.
Stillings roared at him: "How did
you get in here?" The visitor did not
seem to be much alarmed and instead
of replying asked another question:
"Are you the public printer?" Mr.
Stillings again demanded: "I want
to know how you got in here." The
caller replied calmly: "If you are the
public printer I would like to intro
duce myself and possibly make a few
remarks about how to act like a gen
tleman. My name is Dick. I am from
Ohio and happen to be a senator with
business here." Whereupon the pub
lic printer lost all of his anger and
most of his dignity.
FOUNDER OF RED CROSS DYING.
Henri Dunant One of the Greatest
Benefactors of Humanity
Henri Dunant, founder of the Red
Cross societies, is dying- at his home
near Lake Constance, Switzerland.
Dunant spent his entire fortune on the
Red Cross.
The Red Cross societies are the re
sult of an agitation begun by M. Jean
Henri Dunant, after he had chanced
to witness the battle of Solferino, on
June 24, 1859.
The great suffering of the wounded
soldiers and the inability of the sur
geons to care for the thousands who
lay helpless on the field greatly af
fected this philanthropist, and he
published a book which vividly de
scribed the horrors of war and sug
gested the formation of societies to
train nurses to assist upon the bat
tlefield and in military hospitals.
An agitation was immediately be
gun, and at the international confer
ence in Geneva in August, 1864. the
Geneva convention was Indorsed and
u
fourteen nations formed Red Cross
societies. The number has now been
increased to forty-three.
Dunant spent his entire fortune on
this work, and has since been living
on a pension, given him by the Em
press of Russia, and his share of the
Nobel peace prize, which he received

MORE MONEY FOR POSTOFFiCE.
Increase in Appropriation for Coming
Year Is $10,000,000.
There is perhaps no other branch of
our national administration in which
the people feel so direct and intimate
a proprietorship as in the postoflice
department. -The new appropriation
bill for that service carries in round
numbers a total of about $191,000,000,
or an increase over the total of the
present year of $10,000,000. The chair
man of the committee on postoffices
and post roads states that while the
amount carried Is greater than ever
before the percentage of increase is
lower than for any year In the last
decade. In that time the average year
ly increase has been 6.4 per cent.
while this year it is only 5.7 per cent
The largest Item of increase Is that
for rural free delivery. The expen
ditures for the current year in that
service has been $25,000,000 and for
the new year $28,000,000 has been au
thorized New Orleans Picayune.
Artist-Priest Is Kept Busy.
One of the busiest men In Virginia
is the artist-priest Rev. Johannes A.
Oertel of Vienna, Fairfax county,
known everywhere as the painter of
the world-famous picture, "The Rock
of Ages." Although in his eighty
third year, he goes to his studio every
morning about down and works until
twilight He is just sending off to
Sewanee, Tenn., an installment of
paintings to be placed over the altar
in the chapel now being built for the
use of the students of its theological
seminary by Mrs. Tellfair Hodgson, as
a memorial to her husband. Vice
Chancellor Hodgson.
Coloring Matter In Water.
Prof. Spring, a Belgium who has
been studying the causes of color in
water, under various conditions, says
that if water otherwise entirely pure
contains one part in every ten mil
lion of ferric hydrate, an iron com
pound, it will appear green, where
the depth is considerable. With less
than one part of ferric hydrate In
every twenty million it will be blue.
But less than one part of vegetable
mold or human matter in every forty
million will make the blue tint of
water disappear.
Good Trait of Norway's Queen.
The new Queen of Norway is said
to be a great admirer of Dickens and
to have read the "Christmas Carol"
so much that she can recite it from
beginning to end. Not long ago she
said: "No one can be really bad who
can cry over Tiny Tim." Every
Christmas she sends parcels of pres
ents to the crippled children in the
homes and hospitals of London and to
each present is attached a card bear
ing the message, "With Tiny Tim's
love."
A COLD BROUGHT IT ON.
Severe Congestion of the Kidney
Soon Cured by Doan's Kidney Pills.
Richard M. Pearce, a prominent
business man 6f 231 So. Orange St,
Newark, N. J., says: "Working nights
during bad weather
brought on a heavy
cold, aching of the
limbs and pais in the
back and kidneys.
Severe congestion of
the kidneys followed.
Besides the teniae
aching there were
whirling headaches,
and I became exceed
ingly weak. My doc
tor could not help me, and I turned
to Doan's Kidney Pills, with the re
sult that the kidney congestion dis
appeared and, with it, all the other
symptoms. What is more, the cure
has lasted for eight years."

Another Cure by Cuticura.
"About ten years ago my scalp oe

came out in places, also. I was great

"COFFEE JAGS."
The Doctor Named Them Correctly.
Some one said "Coffee never hurts
any one." Inquire of your friends
and note their experiences.
A Phila. woman says
"During the last 2 or 3 years I be
came subject to what the doctor called
'coffee jags' and felt like I have heard
men say they feel who have drunk too
much rum. It nauseated me, and I felt
as though there was nothing but coffee
flowing through my veins.
"Coffee agreed well enough for a
time, but for a number of years I have
known that it was doing me great
harm, but like the rum toper, I
thought I could not get along without
it It made me nervous, disordered
my digestion, destroyed my sleep and
brought on frequent and very distress
ing headaches.
"When I got what the doctor called
a 'coffee jag' on, I would give up
drinking it for a few days till my
stomach regained a little strength,
but I was always fretful and worried
and nervous till I was able to resume
the use of the drug.
' "About a year ago I was persuaded
to try Postum, but as I got it in res
taurants it was nothing but a sloppy
mess, sometimes cold, and always
weak, and of course I didn't like it
Finally I prepared some myself, at
home, following the directions care
fully, and found It delicious. 1 perse
vered in its use, quitting the old cof
fee entirely, and feeling better and
better each day, till I found at last
to my great joy, that my ailments had
all disappeared and my longing for
coffee had come to an end.
"I have heretofore suffered intense
ly from utter exhaustion, besides the
other ailments and troubles, but this
summer, using Postum, I have felt
fine." Name given by Postum Co.,

WOULD YOU PL6ASE HUSBAND?'
If You Would, Hesitate About Taking
Following Advice.
Young Wdfe writes: "I am very
fond of reading advice to newly mar
ried folks. Recently I saw a hint that
every husband is gratified if he finds
his slippers ready warmed for him
when he comes home evenings. Please
advise me as to the proper way to
warm slippers."
Go to the cellar and get a hod of
coal. You should have a slow fire
going in the kitchen range during tho
afternoon. Rake the coals down to a
level bed and pour in the hod of coal
and open the drafts. When the stove
pipe shows red to the ceiling and the
top of the range is a cream yellow,
and is so hot that a drop of water
will evaporate when within two inches
of the surface, close the damper and
wait until the range cools down to 365
degrees Fahrenheit If you have no
thermometer, borrow one from the
neighbor. (It is a small courtesy, but
one that will be appreciated if you
suggest to j-our neighbor to bring her
husband's slippers over and warm
them on your range.) Put the slip
pers in the oven, close the door and
go through the house, singing merrily
to yourself. From time to time look
at the slippers, turning them occa
sionally so that the heat may reach
all sides of them. They are well
warmed when the toes begin to curl.
When this occurs, place them on tbe
back of the range, covering them with
a boiler lid. This will retain the heat.
When you hear your husband coming
up the steps, take up the slippers on
a toasting fork and carry them to his
den. Some practical housewives gar
nish with parsley, but this is a mat
ter of choice. Cleveland Leader.
BELGIUM HAS REAL NOVELTY.
New Photographic Device Turns Out
Postal Cards Automatically.
A novel electric apparatus has been
brought out in Belgium for producing
photographic prints. It applies to
bromide prints, which are made by
artificial light, and is especially use
ful for turning out such prints in the
shape of postal cards, producing the
latter automatically and in quantities.
The operation of the apparatus is
simple. An automatic device applies
the paper from a roll or magazine
against the negative, then an incan
descent lamp is turned on for a time,
which has been previously adjusted
once for all in the case of a given
negative. After the exposure the
lamp is turned off and the paper is
removed "from the negative and goes
into a dark box, then a fresh piece of
paper is applied and so on.
The apparatus is set so as to give
a certain number of prints from a
given negative and each printing
operation causes a ratchet wheel to
advance one point. At the end of the
printing an electric bell is rung by the
ratchet device. By means of a rheo
stat the time of the exposure can be
adjusted from one to 200 seconds. The
whole is operated by a battery of four
small accumulators.

Vanderbilt and Mrs. O. P. Belmont
and who, by request. led the corona
tion procession of the Russian czar,
was recently the guest of honor at a
dinner of racing men.
The herculean Frenchman told at
this dinner a story about a girl and a
bookmaker.
"There was a girl," he said, "who
went to the races and was attracted
by the betting.
"She mingled in the crowd about
the bookmakers. The excitement pre
vailing there communicated itself to
her spirit She approached a book
maker and said:
"'If I put a dollar on a horse and it
wins how much do I get?
" 'If the horse starts at 60 to 1,' the
bookmaker answered, 'you get $61. If
it starts at 20 to 1 you get $21. If it
starts at 10 to 1 you get $11."
"The girl still looked puzzled.
"'But,' she said, 'suppose it starts
at 1 o'clock?' "
Not a Lame Senator.
He had been hanging around the
desk of a hotel in Washington for
ten minutes before the clerk asked
what was wanted, and mentally sized
him up as an office-seeker from the
wild and woolly west.
"Senator Blank stops here, don't
he?" was asked.
"Yes, sir, he does."
"Was that him that come along a
few minutes ago and took a tooth
pick from the holder?"
- "I don't think so."
"He walked with a stiff knee and
didn't look at all like a fighter."
"Then it wasn't Senator Blank. He
has no stiff knee and you have only
to look at him to see that he is a
fighter. Do you want to interview
him?"
"N-o, I guess not not If he Isn't a
lame man."
"What difference does that make?"
"A heap, my friend. I wanted to
ask him what corporation owned him.
but if he's got two sound legs and is a
fighter I guess I'll let it go and write
him a postal card!" Baltimore Amer

Animal Instinct.
Many animals are born with an in
herited antipathy for other animals.
The excessive fear shown by young
rabbits, which for the first time smell
a ferret, and of young turkeys, which
hear the shrill cry of a hawk they
have never heard or seen before, are
proved examples of the strength of
these instinctive antipathies.
