and eloquent orator, man of fine ex-
ecutive ability and Of pleasant and at
tractive personality. He is thirty
eight years of age, but is extremely
youthful in appearance, and might
easily pass for man of twenty-five.
A small stature, with thin features and
q little light mustache also add to his
boyish appearance. Gen. Doe, says Har-
per's Weekly, was born in GAINESVILLE,
Wis, where he has spent nearly all his
life, on March s, 1855. He graduated
from Racine college in 1874, and two
years later began the practice of law
in his native city. He is student, and
by close application to business has
worked his way to the front rank Of
his profession. He became connected
with the national guard as private in
GAINESVILLE company in 1878, and has
steadily worked his way up through
the ranks, until he is now on next to
the top round in the whole war depart
nent. His administration of the mill
tary affairs of Wisconsin has been add
mirable, and he assumes the duties of
his new and responsible position with
the brightest of prospects.

It's a fact. The thing has been going

it was a rare thing for woman to
come into my store to make purchase.
And now Well, they simply walk
in as composedly as you please and ask
for cigarettes, and discuss the differ

them They are women of refinement
and good breeding; women the world
calls ladies. The cause? The world S

Cairo street, the Egyptian village.
They visited those places, and what
did they see? At every turn native
women smoking cigarettes. handling
them daintily and putting smoke in a
fetching way that was deliciously at

contrary, it looked rather nice For

Tho Salt of the Sea.

According to computation of the
Berg und Huottenmaennische Zeitung
the amount of salt in the sea waters of
tho globe, If extracted, would be great
Or in mass than the land, so far as it
appears above the surface. The seas,
It says, cover 70 per cent. of the earth
surface, estimated at $3.50. 600 Ger
mani square miles. The percentage of
chlornatrium in the sea is the same
at all depths. Assuming that the av-
erage depth of the sea Is a half Ger
mani mile there are then 3,4O0, 600 Gu
bic miles Of sea water. A cubic mile
Of sea water contains, on the average,
about Is Kilograms Of salt. The s,4oo,-
BOO cubic miles Of sea water would,
therefore, contain IS, 900 cubic miles of
distilled pure salt There is, there
fore, little danger of salt famine-is
the rather logical deduction of the
Erifer
