More than half of housekeeping
woman's life is spent in worrying and
a good share of the other in preparing
food, as though the stomach were the
immortal part of us. Take one
quarter of the time woman devotes
to making pies, preparing puddings,
putting up preserves, baking cakes
and frying, etc, and let her devote it
to rest and recreation and she would
not look like a shred of parchment at
forty. 1t is the non-essentials that
kill us. We must learn to simplify
before we can escape the doom of pre-
mature old age. Nature never intend
ed us to live as we do. If she meant
us to eat puff pastry she would have
grown it on some of her trees. She
has provided simple food in the shape
of cereals, fruits and vegetables, and
if we conformed ourselves more close
ly to her established order of diet we
should be happier and harder race

The Department of State at Wash
ington has received dispatch from
Consui-General Mulligan at Apis, re-
porting the death of Robert Louis
Stevenson. He writes; 1T is with
profound sorrow and sincere sense
OF direct personal loss that I report
the sudden and wholly unexpected
death of the distinguished author and
great novelist, Robert Louis Steven
son, which took place at his residence,
Nallimo, near this place, at $40 p. m.
on Monday, the Sd inst, from a stroke
OF npoplexy received about an hour
and half before, while seated at his
own hospiiable table.
Aside from his world wide reputa-
tion in literature, Mr.. Stevenson was
easily the first citizen of Samoa, and
the centre Of its social life. As is so
widely known, he was very frail, but
within The last few months had become
stronger and apparently more vigor-
GUS than ever before. His hospitality
was on splendid scale, and was
equally constant and unfaltering.
His remains were inferred on the
very summit of the mountain over
looking his late home at o'clock yes
terday, whittier they were borne with
infinite difficulty by the willing hands
of great number of Samoans. -

Photographic competition,

No better proof could be found of
the wonderful advance which has been
made in the art of instantaneous pho
Biography than competition which
has just been arranged in Geneva be-
tween members of leading camera
clubs and Photographic societies of
Switzerland, France, Austria and
England. The subject proposed for
the competition is the determination
by photography of the shape assumed
by drop Of water while in the act of
falling through the air.
A series of prizes in the form of
medals is offered for the most success
full photographs. 1t is required that
only distilled water shall be used (;
that the size of the tube from which
the drop is caused to fall shall be ac-
curately ascertained
Moreover, it is required that il
shall be known how far the drop has
fallen at the instant it is photo
graphed; and that effective precau
tions shall be taken to prevent any
current of air from disturbing the
drop in its descent.
Only few years ago it would have
seemed chimerical to propose such a
Photographic feat as this, but now
that running horses, leaping athletes,
flying bullets and lightning have been
compelled to print their images on
the sensitive plate, it appears an easy
thing to photograph falling water so
perfectly that science may thprelNy
learn, for the first time, precisely, the
shape of raindrop-The Amusing

Inventing New Roses.

Although roses have been cultivated
from time immemorial, the originn-
tion of new kinds seems TO have been
neglected until the beginning of this
century. The first systematic effort
TO get improved roses from the seed
is recorded at the time of that lover
of roses, the Empress Josephine.
Dupont, her gardener, was among the
foremost in this effort He grew
seedlings from all the choicest roses
that could be obtained from the other
countries of Europe; yet in 1914
there were only 1872 varieties, while
in 1847 there were 1900, and now their
name is legion. New York Post.
