Down en the Beach.
Suddenly the summer man gave a
start and hastily removed ais arm
from the waist of the summer girl.
"W-what's the trouble, Fred r she
asked in alarm.
'Why," he replied, nervously, "those
boarders up in the beach hotel' have
been training opera glasses on us for
the last ten minutes. I bet they are
saying this is the funniest comic opera
they ever witnessed."
The summer girl smiled.
"Don't worry, Fred, you can depend
on -it that I don't think it is comic
opera."
"And what do you think it is, dear
est?" I
"Grand."
And after that the ripples of mirth
that drifted down fromhe hotel ver
anda failed to disturb them.

HAS FANCY FOR PASSPORTS.
One Man Whose Hobby Seems to Lie
in Gathering Seals of the
State Department.
There is one man in this city who
has an odd fad, which is apparently
the collecting of seals of the depart-,
ment of state, says the New York Sun.
He does not often go abroad, in fact,
he has been on the other side prob
ably no more than four times in the
course of his life, and he now is
around 50. But for about 20 years he
has been in the habit of applying an
anually for a passport He writes to
the department of state, gets an ap
plication blank and has it filled out
He goes to the same notary every
time and pays the fee. Then he sends
his application and the passport ..fee
to the department and gets his pass
port back in due course.
Passports are valid for two years
without renewal, yet he never misses
a year and he fills out a new applica
tion every time. Thus he has a col
lection of papers and seals running
back over these years. He never had
occasion to use a passport when
abroad, bnt he says it has been a help
to him when traveling in this country
as a means of identification when that
bis been necessary in some city in
which he was a stranger. The chief
ideate has Is that some time it might
be. imperative for him to leave for a
foreign, covntry on some business or
other and having the passport he
would not have to delay for it.
The Woman of Charm.
' There is probably no word a woman
likes so well to hear applied to' her
self as "charming." Perhaps the near
est approach we can "make to a defi
nition, or rather -explanation of this
illusive quality is a deeply sympa
thetic temperament, an unselfishness
which considers only the pleasure and
.comfort of others and an abundant
good nature, equal to all emergen
cies. The possessor of these charac
.teristics is always at peace with the
worUL-and enjoys life Jo the utmost;'
she always conduces to the pleasure
of others. The woman of real, inher
ent charm is one whose goodness ol
heart prompts her to be kindly and
courteous to everybody. Emerson's
remark that -good manners are made
up of petty sacrifices is to the point,
but the charming woman is. not con
scious of any sacrifice, rather, in her
alone, to paraphrase Dryden, 'tisat
ural to please. Someone has said that
the true lady is one who puts every
one at his ease, and in the last analy
sis this will be found correct. The
Woman Beautiful.

Luncher Saw Possibilities in Flavoring
- Cheese Sandwiches with "Hair
Restorer."
Dr. W. A. Evans, health commis
sioner of Chicago, declares pasteur
ized milk to be an overrated article.
"They who expect," said Dr. Evans
recently, "wonderful hygienic effects
from pasteurized milk are bound ts be
disappointed.
"In the way of real, tangible re
sults," Dr. Evans went on, "they will
get little more than the Atlantic City
excursionist would have got if but lis
ten to the story.
"A Philadelphia gentleman was very
bald. Onion Juice was recommended
him as an infallible-hair restorative.
Accordingly, every -morning, he 'split
two onions and nibbed their juicy
flesh very thoroughly over his nude
white scalp. The odor was strong,
but the gentleman, after a time, got
used to it Throughout his Atlantic
City vacation he saw no reason-to
abandon his dally onion tonic.
"Well, one hot morning on the
boardwalk, spying a vacant place be
side an excursionist who was lunching
out of a paper bag, the Philadelphia
baldhead seated himself, unbuttoned
his waistcoat, removed his hat, and
exposed his head to the. cool breezes
and the sunshine.
"An overpowering odor of onions
arose. The excursionist beside him,
pausing in his repast, frowned and
sniffed. The gentleman fanned him
self calmly. N The other, sandwich In
hand, kept on sniffing nd frown
ing. "Then, after a minute or two, the
excursionist leaned over and said:
"'Excuse me, boss, but would ye
mind if I rubbed this here cheese sand
wich on yer head so as to give it a
flavor of onions? I'm awful fond of
onions.' "
HYPNOTISM GOOD FOR HUBBY.
One Man, at Least, Who Has No
Objection to Fad That His Wife
Has Taken Up.
"My wife has a new fad," announced
the fat man with the red face as he
cheerfully stirred the cooling mixture
before him with a long straw. "She
is going in for hypnotism now, and
it has my sincere and emphatic In
dorsement. She has taken 12 lessons
from a noted professor of the art, and
is now a full-fledged hynotlst or
thinks she is, which amounts to the
same thing, so far as she is concerned.
I was her first subject, and her sue
cess with me not only pleased her
but astonished her as well. At first 1
rebelled at being experimented with,
thinking it all tommyrot; but I am
now prepared to indorse the art to its
full extent She got me in a chair
and then, standing in front of me,
went through a lot .of monkey shines
before my face with her hands.
"'Now,' she said sternly, 'you can
not leave your chair.'
"Just to see what her game was I
gave her the glassy eye and made nc
move. Her eyes gleamed with tri
umph, and then she said:
" 'Listen to me. Tou must no longer
drink intoxicating liquor. If you do it
will make you sick. You will find it
is impossible to lift a glass of the vile
stuff to your lips. Tou cannot even
enter a place where it is sold.'
"Then she brought me out of the
trance by snapping her fingers and
announced that her experiment wai
a complete success.
'"Now the dear woman remains at
home serenely confident that I am no
longer able to" Indulge in the flowing

formed the extinguished guest that
as M. Renan had now finished his

LAST GRANDCHILD OF BURNS!
Descendant of Great Scotch Poet
Passes Away in England at an
Advanced Age.
Tbe eldest direct descendant of
Robert Burns died July 12 at Chelten
ham. Mrs. Sarah Eliza Maltland Tombs
Burns Hutchinson had reached the ad
vanced age of 87 years. She was the
daughter of the' late Lieut-Col. James
Glencairn Burns and her family are
now the only lineal descendants of
the poet
Mrs. Hutchinson was born in Ben
gal on November 2, 1821. She lost
her mother when only five days old
and was sent home to Dumfries, where
she was tended; by her grandmother,
the widow of the poet. During this
period she sat for the famous picture
everywhere known to students of
Burns as "Bonny Jean and Her Grand
daughter." At the age of 25 she was married
to Dr. Berkeley Westropp Hutchinson,
a native of Ballinasloe, Ireland. A
terrible misfortune overtook them
when they emigrated to Australia, for
they lost their children by death on
tbe ship. In Victoria and New South
Wales, however, other children were
born to them, of whom one son and
three' daughters still survive, viz., Rob
ert Burns Hutchinson (now farming
In British Columbia), Mrs. Annie Vin
cent Burns Scott (widow of a landed
proprietor near Adelaide), Mrs. Violet
Burns Gowring (wife of the principal
of St Bede's college, Eastbourne), and
Miss Margaret Constance Burns Hut

Traveling Cooking Schools.
Traveling cooking schools have re
cently been instituted in Germany for
the benefit of farmers' daughters. The
Bavarian Farmers' association was
the first to establish these schools and
they chose nuns as teachers. The as
sociation pays the teachers and most
of the other expenses, so that the cost
to the pupils is very small. It is said
that these traveling schools have sev
eral other advantages besides theii
accessibility. The teachings can be
adapted to local conditions and the
pupils can at once put into practice
what they have learned.
The Cultured Cuisine.
"So your daughter hag been to cook
ing school?"
"Yes," answered Mrs. McGudley.
"I suppose she has helped along the
household economies?"
"Not exactly. She has made us ap
preciate our regular cook so much
that we have to raise her wages every
time she threatens to leave."

Rtlating to Transactions in Real Es
tate That- Are More or Less
Authentic.
The first thing that struck Colum
bus when he landed in America was
the absence of real estate; neither
corner lots, country places nor factory
sites. Calling a likely looking Indian
brave, he asked, "Have you a deed for
this land?"
"Indeed we have not," replied the
Indian.
"Then how did you get it?" contin
ued Columbus, meanwhile counting up
on his fingers the vast fortune that
lay before him even at $100 per lot
without sewer, gas, water, paved
streets or even policemen.
"Our ancestors discovered it," re
sponded the Indian, as well as the dif
ference in their language would per
mit "That will never do," exclaimed Co
lumbus in disgust. "We have come to
discover it again and discover it right.
This will be a discovery indeed as
well as in fact." Then, turning to one
of his crew of the name of Astor, he
handed him a deed to Manhattan
island. Among the others of his crew
he sold, bargained, conveyed, trans
ferred, set over and otherwise distrib- i
uted all the rest of the. land, except
that lying west of the Mississippi
river. This he divided into two por
tions. One of these portions he gave
to the transcontinental railroads and
the other portion he set aside as a
basis for future land frauds.
Needless to say, real estate offices
sprang up everywhere, prices immedi
ately advanced and all subsequent im
migrants had to pay rent.
In the beginning the Lord made
heaven and earth and Adam took a
deed for the earth because it was
more accessible. Life.
EDUCATED SOLDIER THE BEST
DeWet, Famous Boer Leader, Ranges
Himself in Opposition to Igno
rant Fighter.
In Europe it is generally held that
men from the rural parts of the coun
try make the best soldiers and that
the townsmen, who are better educat
ed but have also a clearer perception
of the dangers and discomforts of war,
are much more ready to throw up
the sponge when in their opinion
there is no use in continuing the fight
The famous Boer guerrilla leader.
Christian deWet, thinks differently
and in a speech he made to some
South African students the other day
he gave very striking evidence in
favor of the educated soldiers.
He said that he himself had no
school learning because he had never
had the chance, but that during the
three years of the war he had gone
through a process of education. He
found that the bravest and most trust
worthy soldiers were those who had
received a good education. At the end
of the war 80 per cent of those who
still remained under arms on the Boer
side were men of learning. Nearly
all the men of the back veldt had
abandoned the struggle and gone
home.
That, said deWet, was his experi
ence and, therefore, he rejoiced in
the spread of education in the Trans
vaal. Conquering a Mountain Range.
When the Mexican government and
American and English capitalists
wanted to extend the national rail
way system of Mexico from Mexico
City to the Pacific, the question was
how they were to take their railroad
across, through or under the Sierra
Madre mountains. Pioneers and path
finders rode far and near to discovei
some opening in the mountains that
might prove to be a natural one. At
last one venturesome explorer discov
ered a little opening and rode towards
it, fearing that he might have been
deceived by a mirage. But it was a
real opening. He, a solitary horse
man, ventured in and continued on,
forever winding in and out, the pass
deviating at times from a straight lint
by many miles, kut at last opening
out upon the Pacific side. In such
fashion was the Sierra Madre range
conquered for the branch railroad
from Mexico City to the Pacific.

Bolivia is famous for its silver, but
also possesses considerable quantities
of gold, which, however, cannot be ex
tracted without great expense. In
the seventeenth century an Indian
near the town of La Paz found a mass
of gold, supposed to have been de
tached from the neighboring moun
tain by lightning. Bolivia is, on the
whole, in a backward condition, politi
cal changes and internal conflicts hav
ing hindered the development of its
natural wealth.
The Dirty Face Fad.
The latest craze among the ultra
fashionables of London is to have
dirty faces. Some few years ago the
same young men developed a fancy
for perambulating the streets with
out hats, but the coming of the auto
mobile changed the mode of showing
that you are not quite as other men.
The idea is to carry just enough dirt
to look like fast, long distance riders
who have had no time to remove the
dust of travel. Dundee Advertiser.
A Great Character.
A great character, founded on the
living rock of principle, is. in fact,
not a solitary phenomenon, to be at
once perceived, limited and de
scribed. It is a dispensation of Prov
idence, designed to have not merely
an immediate, but a continuous, pro
gressive, never-ending agency. It
survives the man who possessed it;
survives his age and perhaps his
country, his language. Edward Ev
erett. Sugar from Old Rags.
Sugar is now manufactured in Ger
many from old rags. The rags are
treated with sulphuric acid and con
verted into dextrine. This is treated
with a milk of lime, and is then sub
jected to a new bath of sulphuric acid,
which converts it into glucose. The
glucose obtained by this process is
identical with that of commerce, and
may be used in the same way for con
fections, ices, etc.

The Woman Beautiful.
"Men sometimes abuse women.'
says an observing man. "for thinking
so much about their clothes, when,
instead, they should rise up and call
them blessed. A lovely woman in
garments that are tasteful and appro
priate. whether they are of simple
homespun cr costly silk, is a living
poem ina prosaic world. The woman
who ahvar? keeps herself looking
beautiful does not do so without a lot
of labor, and the fact that she takes
the trouble is an evidence of unselfish
ness and amiability and not of frivol
ity."
A Running Fire.
Whiie firemen were shooting water

following at full tilt with a chemical
engine, lrom which they played during
the chase a stream on the fleeing car,
was ditched. A large crowd followed
the runaway until it was captured and
extinguished.

Catching Pigs with Baryta.
An old practice of gypsies was to
poison pigs and then eat the flesh
