What Honey Is Doing;
' There are even in these days a good
snany families in the United States
who find it possible to do a certain
amount of moderately high thinking
and still cultivate some of the graces
of life. They may be obliged to live
simply, says Scribner's, and yet may
not need to use up all their vitality
In manual labor. True, they must
walk when others ride, they must take
thought to their apparel, that it be
presentable at' small cost, and when
they entertain their friends they must
do it simply. But they have time to
read books and they have money to
educate their children. Oftener than
not they are persons whose family
traditions incline them to fastidious
ness in social matters. They and their
forebears have been accustomed not
nly to well-bred, but interesting peo
ple and have kept in touch with what
was going on in the world; in short,
they have a taste for the best society.
Twenty-five years ago there was no
reason why they shouldn't maintain
their inherited or acquired right to it,
but the tendency on the part of cer
tain of their fellow citizens to what
has been characterized as "the habit
of getting rich" has changed all that
It is not only that the accumulation
of colossal fortunes restricts the finan
cial chances of the moderately ambi
tious majority, but it deprives them
of some innocent and legitimate com
forts and pleasures to which they
think themselves reasonably entitled,
by increasing so tremendously the cost
of living with the standard of luxury
is raised in proportion. This, to be
sure, is an old cry, but to the impe
cunious majority it does not cease to
be a live issue.
Tet one cannot find fault with the
people who have made money for
wanting to spend it; one cannot be
surprised if their ideas are crude and
if they fail to appreciate a refined sim
plicity. Most of us spend all the
money we can afford and we should
not thank anyone who should presume
to dictate to us as to what we ought
to buy with it The very rich do not
in the least intend to make life hard
for the rest of the world. In fact,
from their kind-hearted desire to give
pleasure we get some singularly bad
results, such as, for instance, the pool
girl with rich tastes, who, although
she need .not always be a Lily Bart
yet is always in an unnatural and de
moralizing position; and the young
man who goes to the dogs in his effort
to keep ud the pace with his rick
mates.

Annies and navies are expensive;
we need farmers more than we need
soldiers; we need merchant ships
more than we need battleships. The

give us serious trouble is Japan, and

shall think herself strong enough to

not to engage in war. We have an im

mand is for laborers, not soldiers.

YOUNG, WEALTHY AND
Painful Predicament Which Has Brought Woe to the Heart
of August Barth, of Brooklyn.
DEMANDS ONLY ONE
Himself Seven Feet Tall, He Insists the Lady Must Be Six
Feet, Seven Inehes Need Not Be Young,
Beautiful or Rich.
Young, good looking, wealthy, and,
perforce, a bachelor:
Such is the pWnful position of Aug
ust Barth, of Brooklyn.
And the cause
He is seven feet tall!
Somewhat sensitive on the subject
himself, Mr. Barth has found that
maidens who have won his heart are
even more so.
Once engaged to a charming Chi
cago girl, herself six feet tall, the en
gagement was broken because the lady
asserted she looked so small beside
him that they attracted attention on
the street
Bride Must Be Tall.
Now he insists that the companion
of his honeymoon must be at least six
feet seven inches in height He says:
"She need not be rich, she need not
be beautiful. She need not even be
quite so young as I am. All I ask is
that she be at least six feet seven
inches tall!".
Six feet seven Inches of femininity!
Six feet seven inches clinging lovingly,
fondly to seven feet of masculinity!
Is it possible that there is no way of
effecting this ideal combination? It
would seem not
It must be understood that It Is
through no fault of his Mr. Barth re
mains, in the words of Rudyard Kip
ling, a "wild ass of the desert"
He has tried hard. He has made a
personal canvass of eligible woman
hood, covering many miles. He has
advertised, he offers a reward of $100
to any one who will bring about such a
match and still the right girl has not
appeared.
A number of the prettiest "show
girls" in current New York musical
plays were approached and asked if
they would have any strenuous objec
tions to marrying a man seven feet
in height If any demurred she wa3
informed that this giant was propor
such an episode again, and am unwill

In the hope of cheering him Mr.
Barth was informed that Col. George
Auger, Barnum & Bailey's giant who
is seven inches taller than the Brook
lyn man, has a loving wife of medium
height
tionately rich. This seemed to set
tle the matter, and several of these
divinities agreed to meet Mr. Barth.
He saw them, but did not even ask for
a nearer interview.
"They're all very pretty," said he,
"but not tall enough. I'll tell you why

His Lost Happiness.
"I was once engaged to a very pretty
girl. I was just out of college and
enjoying myself in Chicago. I met
this young woman, and we fell in
love. She was tall nearly six feet,
in fact but when we went out togeth
er she looked so very small alongside
of me that we attracted attention. She
was sensitive, and could not stand the
notoriety, so that, although she loved
me, she asked me to break the engage
ment "Now, I don't want to go through
"I can't help it," said he. "I am too
sensitive about the discrepancy my
self." As a last resort, arrangements were
made to have Mr. Barth meet the
only woman in America who could
come up to his standard Miss Rosa
Wedsted, the Finnish giantess, also
with the circus.
Miss Wedsted is exactly seven feet
tall, and while not exactly a beauty,
she has a pleasant face. She- is a dis
tinct blonde, while Mr. Barth is the
opposite.
Miss Wedsted, when approached on
the subject, at first was diffident She
is, strange to say, extremely sensitive
about her height She feared an ad
vertising "scheme" of some sort, but
was assured that Mr. Barth was not
connected with any circus or side
show, and, in fact, had never yearned
to be "billed" as a giant So finally
the giantess consented to meet the
giant
Mr. Barth Sled.
The day arrived. George Auger, who
looks down on little folks of seven
feet was to make the introduction. The
little group, including Col. Auger,
"Tody" Hamilton, a New York Sunday
World representative, and Mr. Barth,
assembled in a room at Madison Square
Garden. Across the room Miss Wed
sted was in a little ante-chamber ar
raying herself for the meeting that

mfght be so fraught with importance
to both the interested parties.
Suddenly Mr. Barth remembered tha:
he was in a hurry, and, excusing him
self, fled incontinently.
Was it bashfulness? Who knows?
The lady was disappointed, anyway.
When Mr. Barth was 21 years of
age he was as tall as he is to-day.
His father is Maj. Gen. Barth, who
retired from active service a quarter

KINDNESS.
cent I wanted to tell my admiration
of the high-stepping horses, but could
not think of the word. 'Madam,' 1
said, 'what should I call this,' and 1
laid my hand on my knee. 'Trousers,'
she replied.
"Ah, now I can say my thought,'
said I. 'The American horses swing
their trousers magnificently high.'
Madam did not move an eyelash. 'I
will remember,' I said to myself
'trousers, trousers
"Next day the guests of madam
were taken to a picnic on the rocks by
the sea; the hostess was carving a
small fowl. 'What part may I cut for
you?' she said. All I could remember
of the body was the word I had learned
on the drive the day before. 'The
trousers, if you please, madam,' I said
with promptness. For a moment
there was 'silence, then one of the
young ladies burst out to laugh, then
everybody, and there were afterward
many apologies, to my embarrassment
"Now, would it not have been a
kindness if madam had corrected my
first mistake?"

Barth holds enough shares in these

so that he can lap over, as it were,
fiom one to the other. No hotel pro
vides a bed big enough for him, so ho
has had one made that is long enough
to ieceive all of his elongated statute.
Sometimes, when he cannot carry the
bed along with him, he has to use
mines to make him independent He
also owns property in the Bronx, in
Jersey and at Plainfield and River

After he had his first affair of the
heart Barth promptly resigned his po
sition with an electrical concern,
shook the dust of Chicago from his
feet, and went to New York.
Traveled for Threa Years.
Then he concluded that lie would
go traveling, and set sail for Londoa.
Three years were spent in London,
Scotland, Ireland and France. Wheth
er or not he was in search of a wife
he would not say.
Traveling, to Mr. Barth, means more
of a sacrifice than it does to the or
dinary mortal. His seven feet of
height make the question of sleeping
accommodations a serious one. In
traveling at night he always has to
engage a stateroom and have the par
the regular hotel bed, with a chair
added to it On such occasions he
ues the bed sidewise, if it is not sc
made he can stick his feet through an
opening in the footboard.
It is most unpleasant for Mr. Barth
tc go to a theater for the people who
sit behind him always object that they
cannot see the stage. He has, there
fore, to take a seat in the back row,
and, as he is a trifle near-sighted, this
makes it unpleasant.
"During all your travels did you not
find a woman who measured up to your
requirements as far as height was con

met on my travels I met in Peebles.

have seen scores of women who were
willing to marry me, but there was an

case.
"Perhaps It Is my extreme height
that militates against women wishing
in droves to marry me, but then, again,
there is Col. Auger, taller than I am.
He got married all right
"Maybe a woman would rather marry
a little man. I noticed in the papers,
the other day, the story of a dwrf
in New York, only three feet two

had four wives by this time, for I am

DEER IN DRY GOODS STORE
In Raid on Connecticut Town Ani

Windows.
Winsted, Conn. Two deer, both
does, of a herd of ten seen frolicking
on the Wakefield boulevard, on the
west side of Highland lake, entered
Winsted's business district about six
o'clock the other morning and, becom
ing frightened at an approaching team,
jumped through the plat glass win
dow of John S. Mycock's dry goods
store on Main street Both emerged,
one bleeding, a few seconds later and
ran up Main street, a distance of 500
feet, where they vaulted a low fence,
crossed Mad river, and disappeared in
the direction of Highland lake, where
the herd of ten was seen abaut seven
o'clock. Two, one a buck, swam across
the first bay, a distance of nearly half
a mile, and disappeared in the wood
on the opposite side. The other eight
played around the entrance t High
land lake farm for some little time
before taking their departure down
the lake.
The broken glass was five-sixteenths
of an inch in thickness and cost f 65.
The state will probably be asked to
make good the loss, inasmuch as the
deer dashed through the window glass
awakened people in the vicinity, who
thought that burglars were at work.
Mrs. M. B. Hall and William Sullivan
were the only persons who witnessed
the unusual performance of the two
deer, they being near the corner of

gineers found that a boiler, which
must have been put down in the first
half of the nineteenth century, was of

manufactured, because the great con

rO THE AMATEUR NURSE.
tome Excellent Bits of Advice That
Well Might Be Followed by Pro
fessionals as Well.
Never trouble a patient with ques
tions about food; the effort of making
decision Is a strain upon an Invalid,
rhe aim should be to provide some
small surprise at meal times, if possi
ble, to stimulate the appetite.
It Is always unwise to allow a pa
tient to get into the habit of inquiring
what the clinical thermometer regis
ters each time it is used. A rise in
temperature may make a nervous per
son very uneasy and thereby increase
the fever considerably.
If possible, choose a room facing
south or southwest for a sick person,
provided it is quiet and away from
street noises. A northern aspect
should be avoided. Do not allow the
bed to face the light, as this is tiring
to both brain and eyes.
The bed should not be too broad.
Three feet six inehes is wide enough,
as it is then an easy matter to lift
and turn the patient from either side.
The floor of the sick room should
be wiped over every day with a clotn
wrung out in water and some good
disinfectant.
A nurse should take special pains
to be scrupulously clean and neat in
her dress. Trifling details which may
pass unnoticed in ordinary life loom
large on the patient's limited horizon.
Remember, too, that unending tact
and patience must be exercised with
a sick person, for weariness and ir
ritability are the accompaniments of
illness, especially in the early stages
of convalescence.
When talking to a patient a nurse
should always stand or sit where the
former has not to strain the eyes in
order to see clearly, few things being
more irritating than to have to lie in
a twisted position with the head at aD
uncomfortable angle, so as to follow
what is said.
In cases of long illness, the nurse
should spare herself as much as pos
sible, husbanding her strength not
only for the time when her powers
of endurance may be tried to the ut
most, but for the period of con
valescence, when, perhaps, her untir
ing service is most in demand by the
invalid.
Rest is very important to the ama
teur nurse, and four hours unbroken
sleep are worth much more to her
than a whole night of disturbed
anxious slumber. It is much better to
divide the night into watches if there
is more than one member of the fam
ily available, than to try to be more
or less on the qui vive the whole night
through.
Nothing is more annoying to a sick
person than to be discussed in her
presence by one or more of her ama
teur nurses, and questions as to when
the medicine was given, how much
stimulant was last administered, and
so on, should be settled out of earshot
of the invalid. Brooklyn Eagle.
SOCIAL POWER OF WOMEN.
In Every Community There Are
Lonely People Who Need the
Help of Social Intercourse.
I wonder whether women are mak
ing the most of social opportunities.
The elevating of social life is one of
the greatest problems in our land to
day and this ennobling work is pre
eminently that of the average woman
in every community who loves her fel
lowmen and women enough to try to
serve them in humble service in that
little corner of the great world into
which her lot has been cast.
Could women not do something In
the time that they now take for whist
playing, which with many women has
become a debauch, crowding out all
noble inspirations and belittling life,
usurping public spirit and civic duty,
might they not more wisely spend that
time in providing entertainment for
the people of moderate means who
live in your community?
Could they not arrange to get the
people together in some unused church
or perhaps in their own parlors and by
friendly intercourse, led on by some
Invited speaker, develop a better citi
zenship in their community?
Social life is in the hands of wom
en aad the higher the social position
and the larger the wealth the greater
the need that something should be
done to broaden culture and bring
sunshine to the lives of those who
have so little to amuse them. Chicago

BREAD DYSPEF3IA.
The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. It af
fects the bowels because white bread i
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
in the intestines, not in the stomach
proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided a curious deposit
which 13 turned into diastase when it is
subjected to the saliva and to the pan
creatic juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn It into grape
sugar, which is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so nature's val
uable digester is thrown out and the
auxnan system must handle the starch
as best it can, without the help that na
ture intended.
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts of
trouble exist when we go so contrary
to nature's law. The food experts that
perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
these facts, made use In their experi
ments of the entire wheat and barley,
including all the parts, and subjected
them to moisture and long continued
warmth, which allows time and th
proper conditions for developing the'
diastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part Is trans
formed into grape-sugar In a perfect-
ly natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside Ingredients.
The little sparkling crystals of grape
sugar can be seen on the pieces of
Grape-Nuts. This food therefore Is
naturally pre-digested and its use in
place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought about
by the too free use of starch In the
food, and that Is very common in the
human race to-day.
The eeffct of eating Grape-Nuts tea
days or two weeks and the discontin
uance of orcMaary white bread Is very
marked. The user will gain rapidly in
strength and physical and mentai
health.
