Perhaps you would not think so, but
very large proportion of diseases in New
York comes from careleSsneSS about catch
ing cold" says DR.. Syrus Edison. 1T Is
such a simple thing and so common that
very few people, unless it is case of
pneumonia, pay any attention to cold
New York is one of the healthest places
on the Atlantic Coast and yet there are a
great many cases Of catarrh and con-
sumption which have their oriGin in this
neglect of the simplest precaution Of eve
nv day life. The most sensible advice is,
when you have one get rid of 1t as soon as
possible. By all means do not neglect it,
Dr. Edison does not tell you how to cure a
cold but we will. Take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. 1t will relieve the lungs,
aid expectoration, open the SecretioDs and
soon effect permanent cure. 25 and so

The American laundry boasts of steam
washers that wash 100 dozen pieces at a
time, rotating machines to dry, starching
machines to starch and ironing machines
to iron. Many people believe that the
Chinaman does not believe in machinery;
that he scorns its use. But such is not the
case. Chinese laundrymen cannot get
laundry machinery for either love or
money Each piece sold is with the solemn
promise that it shall never fall into the
hands of the Chinese competitor.
The American laundry journals-and
there are five or six of them-keep up the
crusade. The Chinaman is quick enough
to see the advantage improved machinery
would give him, but there is no Chinese
laundry in all this land that has as much
as starch machine, save one solitary ex-
ception, duly chronicled in the laundry
trade papers.
A Chinaman on Nineteenth street, near
Third avenue, Birmingham, Ala, has an
old style collar and cuff iron, the motive
power of which is supplied by an aged but
muscular negro, who industriously turns
the handle, while the almond eyed pro-
prietor Of the place gazes at the workings
of the gas heated rollers with complacent
pride, for he is the only Chinaman in this
country, so far as known, who has a ma
chine to assist him in his work. Where he
got it is a mystery the laundry papers are
trying to solve.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Teaching Patriotism,

AS public opinion is slow to move it NAV
well be worth while to have the principles
of rational, honest politics taught in our
schools and colleges to greater extent
than is at present done. We hear much
talk in school conventions of teaching
patriotism" But how is it to be taughtY
The practice of cheering the flag, of learn
ing the biographies of some of our leading
statesmen, or of learning to believe, with
out knowing why, that our country is the
strongest and best on earth, will have little
effect toward remedying our present polit-
ical evils.
Civil government is something more
than the written constitution, the names of
the officers, the dates of election and other
such facts as are taught in our text books
on civil government. The civil govern
ment that will help our children to get
ideas which later will be of practical use
in politics is that which shows the princi-
pies of party government, the methods of
making nominations, of carrying elections,
of making appointments to offices, and all
the other details of our political life as it
In fact is managed, together with the facts
OF political history and science which show
that, however valuable in carrying single
elections and advancing local interests, dis
honest political scheming may be in the
long run the interests Of states, as of indi-
viduals, are furthered by honest principles;
that great public questions are not set
tied till they are settled right, because
'the power in men that makes for right
eousness" is, after all, when mems eyes
are opened, the dominant one.-Professor

SENATOR sTANFoRD,s PET PROJECT.
The California University Will Receive
the Bulk of His Fortune.

the Bulk of His Fortune.
Senator Stanfords life interest has set
tied in the university at Palo Alto, Cal,
which he built to the memory of his only
son. It's Lick observatory has become fa-
nous for possessing the most powerful
telescope in the world. The Californian
expressed satisfaction at the scientific dis
closures which had been made possible by
such an instrument.
Don't you think, senator" he was
asked, "that in return for, your expendi-
lures proper compliment would be paid
in naming Professor Barnard's moon Of
Jupiter after you"
"No; that moon is too far off to be as
every day practical as like to be. should
much prefer to be remembered by my fell
low men as one who spent his wealth
wisely for the benefit of others, and set an
example that other men of means may be
induced to follow it."
To the support of this university all the
Stanford millions will eventually go.
"The demands keep apace with the
work." he saA, '"but l am glad of it. 1t

Il have been impressed with the fact
that of all the young men who come to me
with letters of introduction from friends

lege young men. They come from those
whom l would like to oblige. They are
prepossessing in appearance and of good
stock.
"But when they seek employment and 1
ask them what they can do, all they can
say is anything They have no definite,
technical knowledge of anything. They
have no specific aim, no definite purpose.
1T is to overcome that condition, to give
education which shall not have that re-
suit, which hope will be the aim of this
university. Its equipment and faculty |

Its capacity to give practical, not theo-
retical education ought to be accordingly

there are 700. These hope will be fitted

Il have the greatest faith in the posi-
bilities of humanity. / want to make my
life work such that it will teach others
that same faith. God has always been
beneflcent, and no necessary wants of hu-
manity have been unsupplied. But the
use of them ought to be directed wisely.
ITO the end of teaching this I expect to
spend practically all my property before

go to the endowment of this practical uni
versity.

The Tuneful Harp.

Harp playing is again in vogue, Fashion
able young women are hanging their
banjoes on the willow tree; they are tax
ing lessons in harp manipulation. The
light airs of the instrument so long held
sacred to the negro are forgotten in the
deeper and more dignified notes of the
harp. We suspect that the decora-
tive qualities of the harp have con-
siderable to do with this revival Of
that ancient instrument. A harp is a
pretty thing. A curiously carved cabinet
from Venice or an oddly fashioned table
from France cannot be more effective in q
drawing room.
The harp has a noble ancestry. Skill in
bringing forth music from its chords won
praise and honor in the day of King David.
Kings and queens have enjoyed its music
through hundreds Of years. Its addition
to the orchestra, however, does not date
back many years. A Chicago musician
has made study Of the instrument, and
he says its possibilities are not yet fully
understood; that the semitones of the harp
can be regulated with nicely heretofore
unknown. No doubt Tannhauser and Or
pheus would not recognize the harp if they
were to see it, with the Chicago modifica-
tions, standing in white and gold parlor
and responding to the graceful touch of a
Michigan avenue bellies slender fingers-

Extraordinary Insanity.

insanity is mania for stealing women's
Shoes" said DR.. Dodd, physician at the
Bloomingdale asylum. "It is distinguished
as disease by itself, and the Germans
have named it rauenschustehlmono
MAMIE 1t is more common among men
than with the other sex. There is one case
on record of a young man whose sisters
lost their left shoes as fast as they could
buy them. 1t was always the left one of
each pair that was taken. For long time
the thefts remained mystery, until one
day the brother caught young woman in
the street, threw her down, tore off her left
shoe and ran away with it. He was cap
tured and thus the secret was discovered"

Some One Else Does Their Shopping Now.

Some One Else Does Their Shopping Now.
Two handsomely dressed women entered
a Sixth avenue elevated train at the Twen-
ty-third street station the other day and
found seats with that air of relief which
betokened extensive shopping.
Really, my dear" said the elder, II am
worn out shopping for other people. My
husbands sister lives on ranch, you
know, and she thinks nothing of asking
me to match worsteds and silks, buy
knicknacks for the house and toys for the
children and birthday presents for the
whole family. hunted for two days last
week to find stuffed toy duck for the baby.
OF course l can't refuse. Poor things,
what can they do, off theref It's dread
full nuisance, but some first cousins of my
own in western Ohio are just as bad. They
constantly send me little commissions, and
once or twice, not being altogether pleased
with my efforts, returned the goods at my
expense"
'Let me tell you my experience" said
her companion. II went through just
such siege, and finally between my hus-
bands relatives and my relatives, and
friends of his and friends of mine, the COM
mission business became uncomfortable, so /
hit on this plan: wrote letter TO each
one of my correspondents, and told them
i was trying to raise fund for the mission
school of our church, then much in debt,
and that would gladly do all the shop
ping they desired and charge them little
commission on it to go toward my mission
fund"
"What happened" asked the other vic
tim of absent relatives anxiously.
"Well, two of them replied that my plan
for raising money was novel and excellent,
and that they would send me all the COM
missions they could think Of"
"Did you make much for the mission"
"Not cent"
"What?"

any one from that day to this. New York

for display on boxes near the entrance Of
the basement in which he has his shop
and he sits beside them, at once advertis-
ing his business and improving his mind

Where Bells Are Cast.

We not only use many chimes in this
country, but make them. Troy is the great
American center for producing church
chimes. The Troy bells are said to equal
the most celebrated chimes of Europe in
everything but age and historical associa-
tion. The ten bells of st. Thomas church
were made in Troy and were put up in
1874. There are ten also in Grace church

tors bell and IS always used for lolling-
weighing 1885 pounds The Grace church
chime cost $S000.-New York Sun.

The Builder Of Trinitv,s 0rnnn.

Besides the old organ in Grace church
the Trinity organ was built in this city.
Its builder was Henry Erben. Erben was
a musical prodigy who was apprenticed to
Thomas Hall, one of the old New York
organ builders. When his apprenticeship
expired in 1897 he was taken into the firm,
but in few years he went into business
alone with so good reputation that the
contract for the Trinity organ was given
to him. In 1850 Mr.. Erben was still young
and active enough to give the Trinity
organ q thorough overhauling and to make
a number Of Improvements in it.--New

watches That Run without Winding.

Keyless watches, now so popular, have
long been known, but have not been in
general use more than dozen years. Ma
poleon l was the owner of a wonderful
specimen of this species of keyless time
pieces. 1t was continually kept in running
order by small weight at the end of a
lever which worked on weak spring.
Every step taken caused small "dog' to
drop into the coes of tiny ratchet Wheel
this in turn acting on the barrel to which
the handspring was attached; ordinary
movements about the house were sufficient
to keep the spring tightly wound up.
In the Kensington museum, London,
there is pedometer, operated in similar
manner, combined with watch, so that
the one instrument tells the time and the
distance walked by the wearer in day or
any other given time. There is watch on
exhibition at the United States patent
office which is wound up by the simple act
of closing the case. 1t also has an attach
ment that throws the winding device out
of gear as soon as the spring is well wound
up.-St. Louis Republic.

sally out and call upon certain mutual

shocked at receiving visitors in such a
garb. Brough at once assented and pop.
ping on their battered hats out into the

Not a Second to Spare.

Count Teleki, the African explorer,
went out one morning in pursuit of
u buffalo which had been wounded the
day before Such wounded animals are
always dangerous, as they are eN-
tremely fierce and ready to charge any
one they may happen To see. The ma
tive assistants, well aware Of the fact,
dropped behind, and presently the
count found himself attended by a
single Nasal.
At that moment the Nasal uttered q
cry of warming and took to his heels.
y hundred PAGES from the count was Il
buffalo charging full upon him. What
was Il be done?
To take refuge in the thicket would
be fatal. The buffalo would be invisi-
ble, and might charge in the rear. The
only chance was To meet il in the open.
This the codnt did-m)st fortunately,
for nothing else could have saved him.
With the long strides OF desperation
hNilAslAfr sSAA't PaAiN
when the beast lowered its horns for
toss did he spring aside and fire.
The bullet struck the buffalo in the
neck, and with the death-rattle in its
throat IL rolled ut his feet.
Count Teleki waited long time for
his people, who did not appear till
they heard him shouting for them.
They all knew the terrible danger he
had been in, and hearing one shot, sue
ceedcd 10y absolute silence, had jumped
To- the conclusion that he had met his
end.
1t was touching to witness their de
light when they found their mistake.
They gathered about him, shaking his
hand and feeling his arms aud legs TO
make sure he was unhuTt; then, after
dancing madly round him in their glee,
they fell with wild shouts upon the bui-
falo, and cut it up with their knives
and spears.
