In the North American Sir Walter
Besant discusses in very interesting
way the "Future of the Anglo-Saxon
Race" He begins with the we'll es-
tablished proposition that wherever
the Anglo-Saxon goes he absorbs-he
is never absorbed. He is a restless
and masterful creature. He is never
content with what he has, and is both
individually and collectively grasping
more and more property and power.
The Anglo Saxon possessions at this
moment take in 100, 900, 900 of people
who speak English as their native
tongue, without counting the Hin.
docs, who are fast acquiring it. The
English speaking race in the sixteenth
century did not number more than
five millions, but they have come
to stay, and where they are located
they are destined to remain. The
Anglo-Saxon absorbs foreign races
like the French, Dutch, German,
Italian and the Norwegians. The
remarkable fact is that in a hundred
years the English speaking race has
ieaped up from 20, 900, 900 to 100, 900. +.
600 and has extended its possessions
to something like the fifth part of the
habitable globe. The English speak.
ing race is one great empire and one
great republic. The advantage, SO far
as position and strength go, seems to
be with America. While all the States
that have come out of Great Britain
have had to create their own form of
Government. every one has become
practically republic. In the begin.
ming, the development and the pres.
ent position of the Anglo-Saxon race.
there are six great countries, two fully
grown, the United States and Eng.
land, and four, Canada, Australia,
South Africa and New Zealand, prac.
tically only in their infancy. The
future of this race is one of the great
est and most fascinating problems
adds the Atlanta Journal. 1t is no
an idle boast that English will ont
day, in all probability, be the Ian,
guage Of the great mass Of the huma,
family, and that there will be A,
National power on earth which vii
compare in strength with thoss Of tA
Anslo.aaxon.

A German gentleman one day re-
ceived telegram from the proprietor
of hotel In the South of France, in.
forming him of the death of his aunt,
and asking for particulars as to the
disposal of the body. The gentleman
begged that the bcdy might be sent to
Cologne, and, after telegraphing to
the deceased's relatives to assemble in
that city, travelled thither himself. In
due time the coffin arrived. On being
opened, it was found to contain the
body, not of an aunt, but of Russian
general in full uniform. Further tele-
grams elected the information that
the coffin containing the body of the
deceased lady had been forwarded in
error to the relatives of the Russian
general at st. Petersburg. Urgent
kilograms were dispatched to st.
Petersburg, and after three days of
anxious waiting this answer was re-
ceived: "Your aunt has been inferred
with full military honors."

Memory Children.

Where misted meadows glow
The beautiful fair-haired children
From fields Of long ago.
Swiftly they gather about me,
Each with rose In her hand,
And glnts Of gold in their tresses
OF n far-oir, sun-kissed land.
But they will not stay-the children.-
Tho fondly call each by name,
Fade where the misted meadows
Border on seas Of flame;
And singing still as they vanish,
Calling me fondly by name.
The beautiful fair-haired children
That seem forever the same.
Some times In the care-worn faces
Ipass on the busy street,
| see look of the children
A CLEAN Of their smiling sweet.
| long to say as they pass me,
Dear hearts, let us not forget
The love and trust of our child-time
VIII keep us like children yet.
Pray God, when my eve-time cometh,
The gray of iifcs afterglow,
The beautiful fair-haired children
From meadows Of long ago
May gather blithely about me.
A star-eyed and laughing throng,
voicing the hush of my eve time
With faint, sweet echoes Of song.

SHE RUNS A sAwMrLb.


A woman runs n sawmill in Maine,
and the Lewiston Journal thus de-
scibes her: She doesn't run her saw
mill at arms length or in dillettante
fashion. No; Miss Clara M. Stimson
of Houlton not only has had the prac-
tical experience in making boards and
planks and shingles, but she applies it,
and there are few mills in Maine
where the employees are scrutinized
more carefully by the proprietor than
at the busy, screaming mill at Masar-
dis, Aroostook county Me. Miss
Stimson is firm believer in the
theory that any woman ought to do
what she can do we'll, and make money
by doing. She is sawmiil owner by
choice.
"Now, / could make living at
dress-making, said she, MS we sat in
her cosy Houlton library the other
day. 81 know that the hats would
trim wouldn't have any sale, and as
an artist would have a struggle for
bread and butter. But when we come
to shingles and handling crew of
men, I claim, without egotism, trust,
that know my business. II didn't,
should have left the trade"
Shingle making comes to Miss Slim
son as a natural heritage. Her father
was n lumber manufacturer. When
he died some years ago his daughter
took up the business where he left off,
and since then has handled that line
along with other speculative opera
tons with such energy and rare good
Judgment that she now is reckonedl
with the solid manufacturers Of Aroos-|
took.
Her lumber and shingles have earn
ed a reputation in the markets now,
but the plucky little woman found
| many discouragements at first. When
she went away to Worcester, Mass, n
few years ago, dealers, she says, were
afraid of her. They couldn't under
stand the situation. The idea of n
woman operating shingle making es-
tablishment evidently inspired them
with as much apprehension as though
she had come with proposal to
cut their hair and trim their whisk-
ers. But she had samples, and she
knew how to talk plainly, directly
and emipently business-like. She
said, "No, you don't know me,
and / don't know you either. But
you're buying shingles and I'm selling
them. back my shingles. L live in
Houton, Me-, but haven't any ref
erences. l won't ask any one for ref
erences and dou't think they amount
to much. But my shingles are just
what l say they are, and L warrant
them to be SO on the word OF a woman
with desire to develop business
and make an honest dollar. Do you
want to purchase?'
The dealer with whom she talked
looked at the alert woman from Houl-
ton, Me-, and said that he believed he
did. He bought, and has been q
patron ever since. Her market now
comes to her. Occasionally she makes
trip to the big cities when prices do
not suit her, and she never fails to
stir the dealers up to an appreciation
of the quality of her goods.

SHE DESIGNS PAPER DOLLS.

The paper doll seems an insignii-
cant article Of trade, but its designing
is not altogether unimportant branch
of art. One of the firms which is re-
sponsible for the brilliant-looking
damsels who inhabit ''play" houses in
all well regulated nurseries has for its
chief designer n young girl of sixteen
Marguerite Macdonald. When she
was only thirteen the little girl began
her career as n seller OF designs, al
though for years before she had de-
lighted her own circle of acquaint-
ances with her handiwork. She is the
daughter of a naval officer, and lives
in Washington. She has received no
instruction whatever beyond that af-
forded by the public schools, but her
talent is so marked that she expects
some day to he as successful in reg
ular" art ns she now is in its toy de-
partment.

BLIND WOMAN LAWYER.

Miss Christine Blanche Labarrnque,
blind girl, who has been n study for
the educators at Berkeley College,
California, is going to be lawyer.
She will be the first blind girl lawyer
in that State, and her determination
to take up the profession of law has
led to much discussion among those
that have assisted in her college
course. The young lady has had n
remarkable career, and has been the
subject of much comment because of
her great learning.

QUEENS AS MOTHERS.

The Queen of Spain looks upon the
personal training of the young King
ns part of the business ofa sovereign,
and has rarely, since her widowhood,
been absent from him for single
day. The Queen Regent OF Holland
has educated her daughter almost in
solitude-a state of things which, it is
rumored, the little Queen Wilhelmina
promises herself one day to alter. The
Empress OF Germany is an equally de-
voted mother, and would possibly take
n more active part in the destines OF
her little sons if her somewhat auto
cratic consort permitted her to.

the assistance which it can render the
commercial interests of.the country in
providing reports on the state of trade

disc which would be likely to meet q

and was nearing the Kellogg crossing
of the Chesapeake and Ohio railway
when o heavy freight train came thun-
dcring along and awakened her. Real
iZing her situation she made a hasty
retreat for home.
She was clad only in her night gar
ments and being in her bare feet her
sufferings were intense. On reaching
home, her feet were found to be frozen
as well as parts Of her body. a physi-
clan was summoned next morning, and
since then everything possible has been
done to alleviate her sufferings, but
this morning the physicians were
forced to amputate both her feet with
a hope of prolonging her life. She is in
a critical condition.

ROBBERY PREVENTED.
Plot to Hold Up Vanderbilt Property just
Discovered in Time


San Francisco, April 7.-George Il.
Gard, the late chief of the Southern
Pacific company's detective service,
claims to have discovered a conspiracy
to hold up the Vanderbilt's special train
and abduct Cornelius Vanderbilt, and
it has transpired that officials Of the
Pacific, who were informed by Card
before the Vanderbilt party reached El
Paso. have been taking all precautions
to prevent the carrying out of the plot.
Gard declines to say from whom he
got his first tip, hut intimates that 1t
was from member of the gang who
became frightened at the immensely Of
the plan and gave 1t away.
At the time Gard first learned Of the
scheme, plans had been perfected no
further than the arriving at an agree
ment to hold up the Vanderbilt party
at point in San Joaquin valley, and
make the best haul that was possible.
If no money was to be had any other
way, Cornelius Vanderbilt was to be
kidnapped, and every one else in the
party was to be killed, If necessary.
Just what steps were taken by the rail-
road officials after they were Informed
of the plot, is not known, but 1t is known
that on this side OF Bakersfield. the spe-
cial was run only during day time, and
1t Is barely possible that this precau-
tion upset the plans Of the conspirators.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, but Look for
the Cause.

Heart troubles. at least among Amer
this may be largely due to the worry
anu excitement of American business
lie, II is more often the result Of weak
stolnachs, OF poor digestion.
Real, organic heart disease Is incur
able; but not one case in a hundred Of
heart trouble. is organic.
The close relation, between heart
trouble and poor digestion Ia because
both organs are controlled by branches
OF the same great nerves. the Sympa-
thetic and Pneu,nogestric.
In another way, also, the heart II
atected by that form OF poor diges-
tion, which causes gas and fer,nenta-
ticn frcm half Gigested food: there IL
a feeling of oppression and heaviness
In the chest caused by pressure Of the
distended stomach on the heart ard
lungs. Interfering with their action:
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also polsons the blood,
makes it thin and watery, which ir-
ritates and wea'yens tho heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles Is to improve the digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation Of
food.
This can best be done by the regular
use, after meals, OF some safe, pleasant
and effective digetive preparation, like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable. harmless digestive
elements, in a pleasant. convenient
form.
1t is safe to say that the regular. per-
sistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's at meal time, will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer Of
the stomach.
Full size packages Of the Tablets sold
by most druggists Mt 80 cents or by mail
from Stuart company, Marshall, Mich.
