One of the interesting characters of Chicago is a newsboy who bears the title of Baron and one of the proudest names in Northern Germany. He is Baron Richard von Sydow. Every day von Sydow goes his rounds with bun dle of papers so big that he can hardly carry it, for he is seventy years old now and has lost the vim that dis tinguished him as a young lieutenant years ago in the Butcher aHussars in his native land. He is the son of Gen. eral William won Sydow, who fought at the battle of Waterlooo. He is also connected by marriage with the family of the Princess Bismarck. The Baron, when young man, was a guest at the marriage of the ex-Chancellor and loves to tell what a fine, stalwart, pop ular fellow Herr von Bismarck was in those days. Won Sydow, it is said, tiring of the life at home on a small pittance. came to this country in 1861 and served as a captain in the famous 12th Illinois Cavalry. He took up ser vice again in Prussia, but soon came back to America, where, however, he has had difficulty in getting along.

The Chicago Tribune says of the epi- demic of typhoid fever in that city that nearly 100 patients are now in the city hospital, and that the number of persons snitten with the disease is swelled to not far from 1000 by those under treatment at their homes. The death rate is increasing. Furthermore, 1t Is claimed that the cause of this is traceable to the dumpinss of dredgings from the river into the lake near the cribs. which contaminates the drinking water of the people; that the attention of the Commissioner of Health was called to this fact weeks ago, and that he did not at once take measures to prevent a continuance of the wild prac- tice.

PIOUANT PEA SOUP.

Recommended an Excellent Addition
to the Home Menu.
A recipe for pea soup which has q
little different flavor from our every.
day pea soup comes from India, where
it is customary to use sharp, piquant
favorings. This soup may be recon-
mended as an excellent addition to our
home menu.
Put pint of sound green peas to
soak in a quart of water over night In
the morning drain them and add three
pints of cold water and bit of soda the
size of a pea. Boil them very slowly
until they are soft enough to press
through a sieve. An ordinary flour
sieve will do. Cut small onion in
bits and add two cloves of garlic, or
use two onions If more convenient. Fry
these in two tablespoonfuls of butter.
Add six cloves and one bayleaf, and
finally add the whole to the peas that
have been strained through the sieve.
Put in tablespoonful of salt and cup
of canned tomatoes, or fresh ones in
their season. Let the soup cook slowly
for half an hour, when, if it is too thick
for soup, thin it with little boiling
water and let it cook ten minutes
longer. At this time add pinch ofre
pepper, tablespoonful of butter and
cupful of squares of bread which have
been fried golden-brown in butter.
This soup has an additional advan-
tage of being comparatively inexpen-
sive.-N. Y. Tribune.

FACTS ABOUT ELEAs.
they Have Six Hundred Little Teeth and
Know How to Use Them.

The flea's body is covered with a
hard brown skin, arranged in series
of overlapping wings. 1t has pair of
legs remarkable for their strength and
for other things.
The divisions of the fea's leg are
known as the coxa, the trochanter, the
femur, the tibja and the tarsus. The
coxa, which is the joint next to the
body, is very large and is freer than in
any other insect. The tarsus in it's
turn is divided into five joints and ter
inmates in a pair of sharp claws, en-
abling the insect to hold on to cloth
ing.
Body and legs are covered with brist-
ly hairs. These point away from the
head and account for the difficulty Of
ten experienced in holding the insect
between thumb and finger.
The fiea's mouth is of the type known
as suctorial, and is admirably adapted
for absorbing liquid food, which it OBJ
tains by process of perforation. The
dibles, maxillae, maxillary palpi and
labral palpi. Thus it has three pairs
of organs and one single organ for the
work of obtaining nourishment, and
we all know that it uses them with
great effect. ...
The 1abrum, or upper lip, is slender
saw-edged bristle, perforated through
out it's length with minute canal.
The mandibles are on each side of it
and are formed like two straight, fat
blades, pointing downward and notch
ed on each side like double saw.
The mandibular teeth number about
seventy-five in each row on each
side. There are six hundred of these
sharp, glittering teeth.
The maXillB are two sharp triangular
pieces, furnished with pair of long
four-jointed palpi or feelers. The la
brum, or lower lip, carries pair of
palpi, each of which has knife-like
edge.
All these instruments cooperate har-
moniously in the work of piercing the
skin with marvellous rapidity. When
we remember that it requires consider
able pressure to make a pin draw blood
through the human skin we shall bet
ter appreciate the powers of the tiny
flea.
The flea has a large stomach, but
that does not measure its capacity for
devouring blood. 1t is able to eject the
contents of its stomach whenever an
opportunity presents of obtaining a
newer and fresher Supply. 1t never
misses an opportunity.
The flea shows a marked preference
for women, children and persons with
thin skins.
A large flea is able to lap to the
height of a foot, or about one hundred
times it's own length.-N. Y. World.

Some Planetary Comparisons.

Sir John Herschel once compared the
relative size of Jupiter, the giant of the
planets, to Venus, whose brightness
cause some to consider it one of the
largest of the suns train, as an orange
to pea. Of late years Sir Robert Ball
has stated that the earth, as compared
with the sun, would be as the smallest
gnat to a condor. Using the figure
1000 as basis of calculation, we find
that the mass of Jupiter is represented
by the figures 3OO,s6O while that OF
Venus is but sS5; the earth, 1000; Sat-
urn, $1,000; Uranus, 1860; Neptune,
16, 1888; Mars, 11s, and Mercury, 65. All
the asteroids together are represented
by the figure 100, while the suns mass,
on the same scale, is 315, OOO, 900.

Hints on Cheerfulness.

Cheer and Comfort" There are
always chances in life to do both, for
turn where you will, there are those
who are in need of help. Not always
bodily help. Often those who have
every earthly thing they need-shel-
ter, money, food, clothing, books, all
sorts of opportunitres-are in want of
the heavenly things which cheer
and comfort" mean. They are de-
pressed, low in their spirits, sud and
troubled. They are even cross and
disagreeable because they are unhap-
py. To such persons young people,
vita bright faces and light hearts, can
bring both the cheer that gives comfort
and takes away pain. You haven't to
do anything in grand and heroic
fashion either. Simply be yourselves,
and let the gladness that is in you bub-
BILE up and overflow, and you will
make tired people happier. -Harper's
Round Table.

The GIRL OF THIRTEEN.
Unless She Has Good Care She Will Make
Forlorh Woman.

Unless She Has Good Care She Will MAks
Forlorh Woman.
The girl of thirteen is the future
woman and a very important parcel OF
humanity, says the New York Sunday
Advertiser. She Is child and just
growing into womanhood, and this
transition which, to grown-ups, means
only sudden shooting up beyond all
bounds and a tendency to stopped
shoulders, is much more to the girl who
leaves childhood behind and is not yet
young lady. Fast growing Is very
great drain on any child's strength,
and as at thirteen she usually has con.
siderable work at school, both mind
and body are called upon to do double
work. That is why she needs care. I
Good food, rest and congenial com.
pany are some of the things which are
necessary for the girl Of thirteen. She
should not have too much excitement,
or books to read which tax her
thoughts too much, as her mind de-
velops only too quickly at this age, and
everyday life and lessons are enough
to occupy her. She should go to bed
early and sleep ten hours For break
fast she should eat strengthening,
bone-making food, oatmeal, oranges,
brown bread, eggs and milk. For her
midday meal she should have some-
thing more sustaining than a bread.
and butter lunch, if she is to grows up
into strong woman. Hot soup and a
chop and a baked potato every day
for three months will make her stand
up straighter than braces will. !.
She should have walk in the open
air every day; if she does not get this
she will grow nervous and sleepless,
have fantastic notions about an early
grave and running away from home,
or, worse still, grow sentimental and
write morbid little verses and weep
over the poor. These are all true
symptoms of the girl of thirteen. She
begins to think she is very old as soon
as she gets into her teens, and the re-
sponsibilities affect her sensitive new
mind to an appalling degree-if she Is
given the time to think of them.

A FORGETFUL SENATOR.
And the Trouble His Absentmindedness
Caused In His Household.

And the Trouble His observation-disclosures
Caused In His Household.
''In matters purely social" remarked
cabinet officer to a reporter for The
Star, 81 never like to be quoted, so in
what is to follow you may omit my
name. Last winter one of our best
known senators from one of the Gulf
states lying between Louisiana and
Florida was at the theater. After the
performance he, with friend, repaired
to German restaurant to be refreshed.
For the first time in his long and we'll
spent life he encountered that power
full confection known as Linn burger
cheese. He was delighted with it as
with a revelation in gastronomy. He
craved of the owner of the hostelry a
specimen of the cheese, that he might
convey it to his household there to be
exhibited and taught to them as les
son in the palatable, and all to that
end that large quantities of the cheese
might be purchased and consumed by
them the good natured restaurateur
gave the statesman an entire cheese,
wrapped in the usual tinfoil which is
it's market overcoat.
THE senator Brightly received the
cheese and slowed it away in the stern
sheets of his dress suit. Then he went
home, and hanging his costume in the
wardrobe, went to bed. In the morn
ing, with the approaching cares of a
tariff day overshadowing any memory
of that Limburger, he pulled on his
everyday suit and went down
to. the senate. When he sought
his home again at six p. m. he found
doors and windows open, while his

artisans about who had taken up floor
ing boards, sawed into the wainscot
and torn ragged holes in the frescoes

some plumber who loved his art had
been looking for leak.

ed the senator, with strain of irrita
ton in his tone
:" There's a dead mouse in the wall
or floor somewhere said the wife from
out her sealskins. We've got to find il
and get rid of it. We can't live in the
house
"Then the statesman remembered
the faithful limburger lurking in his
dress coat. 1t was removed from of

t1late new idea if her brains were
properly rubbed. Her white crepon
dinner gown, touched up with cool,
green velvet and Valenciennes lace,
was faultless, and harmonized with the
youthful face under it's pompadour
frame of prematurely white hair. She
had been congratulated on the over
whelning success of her last charity
project, and not care disturbed her
serenity. Everybody knows that this

amused, and the satirical one of the pair
smiled an appropriate smile as she said:
"Ah! no doubt the bicycle will be
very popular in that case"
The hostess laughed.
"That expresses it, and, of course,
you will try a wheel at once. 1t seems
ridiculous to think of the bicycle hay
