rian general assembly, the Rev. Willis

ment of the assembly, but has been free

Color photography.

Our Paris correspondent reports that
much interest was shown at the Photo
graphic club there in some plates OBJ
tanned by Professor Lppmann's process.
The pictures on glass were cast by an
electric protector onto white screen be-
fore an admiring and enthusiastic audi
ence. The first picture to appear on the
screen was bunch of roses, violets and
jessamine. They came out with all their
natural colors and tints and velvety ef-
fects AS o person remarked, the only
thing these flowers lacked was scent. A
corner of landscape in Paris park was
the next picture. The sky was Of true
blue. The sanded alleys and the green
lawn were as like to nature as nature it
self. Next came cottage in sunlight
overgrown with creepers, flags, match
boxes and photographs of illustrated pla-
cards. London News.

Sixty-fourth streets. This will be called
Administration building and viii CON
tain the library and offices of the in
stitute, besides three large assembly
halls and q large number of lodgerooms
for renting. The first floor will give
entrance from Third avenue to the ex-
hibition hall, and in the basement will
be model kitchen. The front viii be

An International Coin.

When everybody is fretting about let
ters Of credit and ell the other make
shifts to avoid penury in a foreign land,
1t occurs to the mind unskilled in ques-
lions Of finance to wonder why we cam
not have one single international coin
which would be good wherever it is spent.
An entire international currency is q boon
reserved for our grandchildren, but
single gold coin Of about the value, say
Of $3.50, would be an immense conven-
lence to travellers. A moderate sum in
Iuch coins would not be burdensome,
md before leaving each country the ma
tional currency could be exchanged into
them at the hotel Office or the nearest
shop without any fuss and feathers what
ever. Multiples Of such coin, to the
extent Of d hundred or more, would be
easily portable, and fractions of it would
not be large enough to cause serious EN-
barrassment to most travellers. The
amount of time and trouble which sim
gle international coin would save is al
most incalculable. Kate Fields Wash

a Girl,s PhxsIcaI TEalnlne.

It is trying period to q girls health
when she steps from the kindergarten
into school. The out of door life thas
she has enjoyed with her brothers is
then frowned upon as "coarse and nm
ladylike for such girl" It is at this
age that her physical training should be-
gin, and it should continue through her
school life to keep her in good condition,
her muscles well balanced and her
growth proportionate to her years. In
order that she may be surrounded by the
highest sanitary influences 1t is very es-l
sential that her director of physical cul-
ture should know thoroughly her G& di-
lions, her environment and inheritances,
md should also know the amount Of
health she possesses SO as to regulate her
expenditures Of mental strength accord
ing to her resources.
AS years roll on and she arrives at an
age when custom demands her to be
Gagged in long dresses and her hair twist
ed into knot, her freedom is enslaved
to all future and then, especially if she
has not had special care in her earlier
years, we must double the watch, so to
speak, on her health. The action Of
many valuable muscles is interrupted,
others are neglected altogether, spinal
muscles grow lax, the chest droops,
careless posture becomes habitual, and
consequently the entire internal struc-
ture is to a greater or less extent de-
pressed. At this age society is allowed to
make inroads on hours invaluable for
sleep, and the girl becomes nervous, petu-
liant, depressed, actually morbid, and
from no fault whatever Of hers. 1t is
!. her environment, and she cannot be re-
lieved Of these unfavorable infnences
without thorough physical training. She
cannot be strengthened when her mind
is continually concentrated on mental
pursuits and hygienic principlesignored-

rhe siam Trouble.

OF the precise merits Of the question
between France and Siam at Its present
stage it is not easy to speak until the ma
ture of the French ultimatum Is made
known. But the Siamese appear 10 have
shown q conciliatory spirit in the bound
ary dispute. The area In controversy Is
the broad belt of land lying east of the
e-Kong and between that river and the
main mountain chain of Anam. The
French accuse Siam Of putting garrisons
into this area, but it Is quite certain that
khe Siamese have Withdrawn from point
after point without q struggle, while
such conflicts as have occurred seem to
have been of local origin rather than un-
der the orders Of the king. This mon
arch, q man Of about 40 years, who has
been on the throne since the age Of 10, is
admitted to be q ruler Of high character,
humane, anxious for reforms and eager
to place Siam In the advanced line Of
modern Asiastio progress. He has made
many internal improvements in his king
dom, has fostered commerce, has well
coined foreigners, and If he now hest
tates to give up large part of what he
has always considered his domain at the
menace of aFrench feet and an Anam-
ite army it is what might be expected.
One question now for Siam is, What
is England going to do? Without her
aid Siam may fall into the hands Of
France, as Buranah fell into those of Eng
land herself. Yet that aid might itself
reduce her to the condition Of British
protectorate. The disputed boundary is
fair subject for arbitration, but there
Is no indication yet that France win
agree to settle in that way.--New York

Two large apple trees stand side by
side In an orchard not far from Sydney.
On one hung fruit which looked like
balls Of gold in the sunlight. The ap-
Piles on the neighboring tree were a
bright red. One day the owner Of the
orchard sent his men to pick the fruit.
It was to be sent to the Worlds fair,
and he followed them out among the
trees to see that the work was properly
done. When at last the apples were
packed In the barrels, the fruitgrower
decided that those two barrels should
separate in the orchard and not meet
again until on the exhibition table in the
Horticultural building at the fair. The
red apples were to go east, and the yell
low apples were to 90 west.
The golden fruit was loaded into
steamer and started toward the Suez
canal, while the red fruit was started
the same day in vessel across the Pa
cific ocean. The fruit grower marked
mo delay. Perishable goods" con-
spicuously on each barrel. He wanted
to ascertain which was the quickest
route to the Worlds fair. The barrel
of yellow apples passed through the

up the English channel, and finally
reached London. Here it was taken
from the boat and sent by railroad to
Liverpool. Then the barrel of New
South Wales fruit was loaded into an
ocean racer and started on its way
across the Atlantic to New York, whence
1t came to Chicago by railroad. It was
Just 66 days to an hour when Thomas
Pugh, the assistant general superin-
tendent of the New South Wales ex-
hibit, received it.
In the meantime the red apples had
crossed the Pacific ocean to San Fran
cisco in 20 days. Then they were sent
by freight to Chicago. After numerous
delays along the way the apples arrived.
They had been 50 days on the way and
had been admired by Worlds fair visit
ors for almost two weeks before the
golden apples which grew on the tree
beside them in Australia were placed on
china plates and set on the table beside

concerning the military organization Of
that country, but there were not wanting
those who construed the order as practi-
cally measure of censure.
It may have been the spreading Of this
sentiment among the people that caused
the ovations which the general received
on his arrival at Marseilles and Paris re-
Gently, or 1t may have been that the
'sparty of revenge" was simply seeking q
new center around which to rally. Ger
tain it is that the League of Patriots,
who are the organized representatives Of
that party, had prominent part in tho
management of the ovations, going so
far as to placard the walls of Marseilles
with circular offering General Dodds
the succession to Boulanger, which con-
cluded WITH these words, General, do
your duty, and if parliamentarians re-
sist thrust them out at the door"
General Dodds is a tall, handsome
man and looks like the soldier he has
proved himself to be. He is mulatto,
English, French and African blood
mingling in his makeup. His grandfa-
ther married the daughter of a French
man aud an African woman, and his fa-
ther married a native of Senegal, who
came of Norman family. The general
was born in St. Louis, Senegambia, in
194S and was educated at the French
military school of st. Cyr, where he
graduated in 1854 with the rank Of Sec
ond lieutenant Of naval infantry. He
was promoted to first lieutenancy in
1857 and to captaincy in 1869. At Sc
dan in 1870 he was taken prisoner, but
escaped and rejoined the army He
fought through the Franco-G German war,
the conflict with the commune and the
campaign in Tonquin, coming out Of all
of them unscathed.
He has been in the service in Africa
since 1871, except during the Tonquin
campaign, and was made a major there
in 1879, lieutenant colonel in 1858 and
O colonel in 1887. He was commandant
at st. Louis in 1890 when Colonel Terri
lon conducted his campaign against
King Behanzin and was made COM
mander in chief Of the expedition in 1899,
ON the successful conclusion of which he
was promoted to be o general and made
an officer in the Legion of Honor.

Is described In our Paris letter published
today as constituting the antithesis Of the
baby show held in the French capital a
year or two ago, is about to take place
next month in the Pavilion de La Vile de

Is an alias. When he came to this coun-
try in 1864, penniless emigrant from
Germany, he was called Heinrich He'll
gard. He was born in Speyer, Bavaria,
and graduated from the gymnasium Of
his native town the year before he emil

Having somo literary ability, he com
menced writing for German publica-
tons, and after he had mastered Eng
lish continued his connection with
journalism for some years, up to 1874, in
fact, when he branched out as inan-
cier. In that year he was sent out from
Germany, where he had been reporting
the Franco German war, by a committee
Of German bondholders Of the Kansas
Pacific railroad, which had defaulted on
It's interest. He was finally appointed re-
ceiver Of the road, and this appointment
may be said to have given him his start
as financial slfyrocket.
AS early as 1860 lie had conceived q
scheme for the consolidation Of various
steamship and railroad interests on the
Pacific coast. but 1t was not till 1879
that he found himself strong enough to
carry it out. Then he gained control Of
the Oregon Steam Navigation company
and the Oregon Steamship company and
combined their interests under one man

Northern Pacific, and the story of his
