Hygiene n Profession.

There is room in the worll for a new
profession. If there were Il class of So
gacious educated men or women to go
about and teach people in their own
houses and on their own grounds what
is essential for health, whit is unwse
in their daily practice and point out
the risks to be avoided in the future,
suc.l wise men would be worth heavier
fee than was ever yet paid physician
for cure after the evil had been done.
1t would not require superhuman
gifts on entering n household for a few
days to discover the remedy for many
ills Which sap the health and fortunes
of the family--for the health and
money go together The heaviest tax
q man pays in these days of tax OPP
preston is that of i'll health, not only
in doctors fees, but the actual money
loss of service and productive labor.
The first necessity to restore an i'm
paired heart or weakness of any kind
he would say is warmth. With all
worship of pure air. whose value is not
to be overrated, the prime necessity for
human existence is warmth. Warm
clothing, warm houses, warm beds,
warm offices, and not last. warm rail-
way cars and waiting rooms. Shirley

George w. Hughes, who had accu.
mulated considerable fortune, died in
Russia, and his widow hit on an in
genious plan for bringing the proceeds
of the estate to this country. She con-
verted about 800. 900 of the cash into
gold doubloons and had them packed
away safely in coffin. She and the
coffin took passage for New York, and
it was supposed by those on shipboard
that in the coffin was the remains of
her husband. Arriving in this country,
Mrs. Hughes converted the doubloons
into United States bonds and other Sc.
curities, which at that time were very
how in the market.
She married Rev. Mr.. Weiss, of
Paterson, N. j., and soon afterward
the last will and testament of her hus-
band arrived in this country. It was
found that nearly the whole of his es-
tate had been left to some children of
the brothers of the deceased. Cor.

Loving Them.

A baby carriage stood in front of a
small shop In it slept a pretty, dim.
pied baby. A drowsy puppy lay on the
pillow. its black nose close to the baby's
cheek.
BY the carriage stood ragged little
waif, dirty, with scarcely enough clothes
for decency. She stroked in turn the
baby and the puppy.
A lady, passing by, noticed the
strange picture-the beautiful baby.
the cunning little dog, the ragged
child. The baby's mother was in the
shop.
"Are you caring for these" said the
lady to the waif.
A wonderful smile lit up the dirty
little face. "No, please, MAJ am. I'm
only loving them" - Youths Com

An Old Maine Preacher.

Ond of the favorite preachers of old
time Oxford county, Me-, was Rev.
Daniel Gould, of Rumford. He is said
to have married over 400 couples; but
became blind in his later years and
could not see the brides, whom he in
variably kissed. Ono young woman
thought to play trick upon him. She
didn't wish to cross hands and vowed
she wouldn't. Hes blind and will
never know the difference" she said
Much to her amazeinent, however.
when she extended her left hand in the
ceremony, the priest said, THE other
hand. please" and amid bushes and
confusion the bride did cross hands af.
ter all. The secret of the episode was
that n lad had overhead her conversa-
ton and told the old man of her de.

Eating Soup and Salad.

In the matter of eating soup many
persons are ut fault. The spoon should
not be showed into the mouth, but the
liquid ought to be slipped from the side
quietly and without any sound what
ever. The ,nincing of salad into small
bits is not to be tolerated. Lettuce
should never be cut, although the CO.

MAY RACE IN ENGLAND.
His HiEhness Likely to Take a Trip
Abroad.

MS hlknn08S Likely TO rake n Irlp
Abroad.
New YORK, September 5. -Alexander
the Great looked for new worlds to con-
Quer; Count Gideon the great, has his
eye on the old world. He believes that
his $4,000 colt can equal, If he can not
surpass, the glittering achievements Of
Iroquois and Foxhall, and has about
made up his mind to give the Britishers
taste of his quality. In other words,
he has serious intention of taking His
Hlghness to England next year. The
matter has been talked over with Philip
Dryer, John Kelly and other sensible
and shrewd racing men, and they have
thrown no cold water on the enterprise.
The Count and Mr.. Kelly are going TO
Europe In November to remain several
months. They expect to 10" the tight
little island, and will pitch their tent for
a while in the South Of France.
His Highness on Saturday handed the
owner check for SGT, 900, and the ex-
penses of the trip will be paid out of it.
What jolly time the two friends will
have along the Rivera. 1t is possible
that they may fall upon Monaco and
put the little princlpality on gorgeous
boom.
The owner of His Highness is thin
man with big heart, that has won him
numerous friends. Though not pos
sessed of a superabundance Of hair, the
few stray locks that he has are yet
black. He parts his hair with a towel.
His mustache, carefully guarded, but
not so we'll groomed as the Futurity
winner, is blacker than the hair on the
top of his bumps Of reverence. His eye
is dark aud steady and vivacions. He
owns lovely voice, and often sings for
his friend, Signor Tagliapetra, who
will go down to history as the baritone
plunger Of the American turf. The
Counts fine light tenor and Tags mar
velous chest tones are an irresistible
combination.
The writer spent an hour with the
Count and Tag in the box of His High
ness at Jerome Park, on Tuesday. The
colt was not embarrassed by his august
presence. OF all the kittens and lambs
and dogs that ever were distinguished
for gentlemen none could compare with
His Highness. You could pinch, pat,
caress, and cuff him, shove him about
the box, pick up his legs, twist his ears,
pull his forelock, wrench his tail. You
could handle him as you would mutt,
stroke him the right way, or stroke him
the wrong way, he was always the same,
docile, lazy, sleepy, Indifferent, patient
" submissive. Hyland, to whom all
credit for keeping him in winning form,
stood by drinking Ia with glad eyes
