A Charming Friend.

Kaiser Francis of Austria does not
show his years. One sees him often in
a handsome victoria on the Wolfand
road, where he goes three or four times
a week to call on his platonic friend,
the actress Schrott, says correspond
ent in the New Yorl. Tribune. This
favorite lives in handsome villa, the
frauenstein, on the edge of the beauti-
full Wolfang lake, with view of the
Schafberg from ne back. The place
was present from her imperial pro-
tector, and the p cturesque cottage in
the midst of lovely grounds is in every
way a regal gift.
Early in the morning the handsome
emperor drives from Ischi. the court
equipage is left at the lighthouse, and
his majesty is rowed to the villa of his
beautiful friend, which is inaccessible
by carriage. This call lasts couple
of hours, and his fair hostess herself
conducts him back to the tower, where
the carriage waits. 1t was an interest
ing and strange sight to see his sacred
and imperial majesty padding along
the lake in little dugout, unattended
except by his sympathetic and platonic
friend. A beautiful woman is the
Schrott, the elegant lady from crown
to toe; not n manner, not a ribbon
which would indicate the actress. or
the spoiled favorite of sovereign.
In striking contrast to the elegant,
though quiet, imperial equipage is the
''swell' siX-in-hand OF Baron Heine.
The pretty Hungarian ponies shake

actress, and clouds of smoke roll from
the rosebud lips. Then the six-ln-hand

Club Feet.

Of all pitiful objects the deformed
child calls forth the most heartfelt
sympathy. Many of these deformities
are remediabic if attended to in time
and by one skilled in their treatment.
Others are preyentable which, if allow
ed to pursue their course until growth
is attained, can he only palliated, sell
dom cured. Of the first mentioned
those needing proper treatment the
most common are club feet, of various
kinds Of degrees; strabismus or cross
eyes, hare lip, cleft palate, supernum-
erary toes and fingers and to some ex-
tent so-called mothers marks. Not
all of the latter are durable, however,
and many of them are of SO little in
convenience it is not best to meddle.
Talipes, or club, are caused by the
shortening of one or more of the sew
eral muscles passing across the ankle
and controlling the motion of the foot.
According as it is one or another of
the muscles the position of the foot
varies, the foot turning in, out, or the
toes being raised, or vice versa, the
heel, making it impossible for the
child to walk on the sole of the foot.
Many times this dcformity is noticed at
birth; again it is not manifest until the
first attempts at walking are made.
But, whenever noticed, bear in mind,
unless very slight, it will never cure
itself, and the rule is to increase in
degree with prolonged walking until
the ultimatum of deformity is reached.
1t is mistaken idea to wait until the
child walks before doing anything,
and worse mistake many times to
then harness the child with cumbrous
shackles which meinstrument-maker
has palmed off on you.
The hStter way is, rs early as three
months, if the deformity is unmistak-
able, to take the infant to the best
surgeon within your reach and be
guided by his advice. If he says adj
hesive straps, apparatus or operation,
acquiesce and follow faithfully the di-
rections given. At this age you will
not have the additional trouble of
keeping the infant Of its feet during
the treatment.
In this case, as in all others rcGuir-
ing operation, if you cannot command
the services of a skiliful operator re-
member you have only to apply at
standard hospital in any large city to
command, free OF charge. the services
of the best OF one OF the best surgeons
in the city, made 50 by practice and
study. Have no fear of experimental
ton. The writer has yet to see the
first case experimental on in a hospital
or before medical class unless it was
case demanding such procedure
since no other similar case had ever
been treated by any one. The reason
of no charge for an operation that
otherwise the surgeon might charge
almost any price for doctors will
sometimes, you know, charge for repu-
tation) if done before medical students,
is because of the benefit it is to them,
who are to be the doctors and surgeons
of the future generations. So once
more l beg of you don't let your child
go through life deformcd because you
are unable to pay or are afraid of hos
pitfalls. The regulations and price of
board for the various institutions Of
this kind can be learned through ones

THE HoHENzoLLEgN "WHITE LADY. !"

The HoHENzoLLERN sWHITE LADY"
During the middle ages, noble lady,
surprisingly beautiful, of the house Of
Orlamunda, fell madly in love with n
prince of the reigning house, and sent
him privately word of her love aud an
offer of marriage. The prince woald
gladly have married her, but for the fact
that bis parents would not consent.
Social intercourse was somewhat restrain
ed IN those days. He was compelled to
dispatch page to the lady with an am
biguous message, declining her offer on
the ground that "sour eyes stood IL
their way. The young widow believed
that he referred to her two children, nna
promutly put them 10 death, notifying
him that the obstacle was removed.
i terrible scene ensuad hetween the
prince aRd bis murderess lady love, after
which he fled into solitude aud she died
Of remorse. Since then her ghost Is said
ia be condemned 70 haunt The halls of
The Hoheczollerns, IL and her appearance
is a warning OF death to some members
Of the family. About fifteen years ago,
the terror of the inhabitants of Berlin,
on account Of some reported appearances
Of the White Lady, reached such
height that the kaiser had every cna OF
the 700 rooms in the Schioss thoroughly
searched, in the hope Of finding some
clew to tie mystery; but had he succeed

have given up their pet superstition,

or, and stories are current of her having
shown herself once again since that time.

The Origin of Tea.

The tea plant grew for endless GEN.
turies in Central Asia, and the guileless
Celestials blandly assert that the drink
was invented by Chin Nong some five
thousand years ago. A poetic version
makes it sixteen hundred years ago,
and gives the following account of its
earliest appearance: in the reign of
Yuen Ty in the dynasty of Tysin, an
old woman was accustomed to proceed
every morning at daybreak to the
market-place, carrying a cup of tea in
her hand. The people bought it
eagerly. and yet from the break of
day to the close of evening the cup
was never exhausted. The money re-
ceiyed was distributed among orphans
and beggars. The people seized and
confined her in prison, At night she
flew through the prison windows with
her little vase in her hand" If you
care to do SO you can read this story
and enjoy it in the original Chinese of
the "Cha Pu," or Ancient History of
Tea and viii no doubt find the trans
lation exact.
Tea was not heard of in China
again for three centuries and half,
when $50 hi'' priest is said to have
advised its use as medicine. In the
ninth century, an old beggar from
Japan took some of the seeds and
plants back with him to his native
land. The japanese relished the new
drink, and built at Osaka a temple to
the memory of those who introduced
it. This temple is still standing,
though now almost seven hundred
years old. Gradually the people of
Tartary and Persia also learned to love
the drink, and serve it at all hours of
the day
The honor of introducing the herb
into Europe may be considered due
equally to the Dutch and Portuguese.
Early in the seventeenth century tea
became known among "persons of
quality" in Europe, and in 1902 some
Dutch traders carried a quantity of
sage (Which was then used to make
drink popular in Europe) to China,
and dby some ingenious device succeeded
in making the Acknowledged tea-drink-
ers think it fair exchange for an
equal quantity of very good tea. which
was brought home in safety and with
out the loss of single Dutchman.-

Some Starch Foods.

Cooking starch is got from maise,
and, besides corn and potatoes, there
are several otter sources of starch
foods. Arrow-root is got from West
Indian plant, by grinding and rasping
the root and washing the pulp, which
is 20 per cent. starch, the grains OF
this separating from the rest. The
cassava root ofSouth America furnishes
manioca and there is bitter poison
Gus variety that yields the irregular
hard Jumps of tapioca. This root is
sometimes three feet long and weighs
twenty pounds; the milk juice is re-
moved by pressing and the poisonous
principles by heat.
Tie true sago palm is one of the
most ABUNDANT sources of the nutri-
tious starches. Three trees furnish as
much nourishment as an acre of wheat
and six times as much as an acre OF
potatoes. It is said that ten days
labor will supplya man with sago cake
sufficient for Il years sustenaIce, a
single tree contains from 20 to so
bushels of pith, which will yield from
500 to 800 pounds of fine starch.
Three starch fruits that are designed
to hold a higher position among the
worlds food products are the yam, the
bread fruit, and the banana. The last
is a rival of the sago palm in supply
ing the maximum of nutriment with
the minimum of labor. The yield is
forty-four times that of the potato; the
percentage of starch is greater and
the fruit is richer in other elements of
nutrition, so that the meal, made by
drying and grinding the pulp. resem-
bles wheat flour in food value. 1t is
not expensive to prepare, is easily di-
gested and is largely used in British
Guiano for children and invalids.-

are cut by hand. Fruits are now crye-

Some dealers declare that here the fault

Others assert that we have not acquired
the French secret of preparing the
