in the art Of dress from Lady Mildred.
He wished SO even more when her
ladyship walked into the drawing
room some time later, her clear-cut
face and plant figure set on BY ame-
thyst-colored plush. which caught tho
light on all its ripping folds.

that she was looking at that moment
IS beautiful as 1t was in her power to
look, but nothing in her perfect man
ners betrayed the thought. She
crossed the room slowly, purposely
stopping on the way to replace some
flowers which had fallen from vase.
As she turned again, her glance fell
upon q gentleman who stood on the
white fur hearthrug, talking to her
father. A sudden change passed over
the face which before had been only
beautiful No other man ever carried
himself with such careless grace rs
this man. AS he stood. only the back
OF his head visible. she knew that It
was valdane; her breath came more
quickly. her heart beat faster at the
thought. She stood perfectly still. her
eyes fixed upon him. Then he turned
slowly round. saw her. and at once
came forward. She moved not an
inch. but remained where she was. the
brilliantly lighted room bringing out
every point of her beauty.
Their hands met. and In that mo-
ment she knew that he was changed.
He looked i'll and worn, but in her
eyes thousandfold more lovable. His
greeting was cordial, but II lacked the
delightful tone of mutual understand
ing. Almost in terror she scanned his
face for the wherefore, but found 1t
not.
Il did not know that you had come. I"
she said.
Il arrived two or three hours ago.
They told me you were somewhere In
the grounds. SO l went to look for
you-as far as the lakeside. Then I
came back: you were being we'll en-

Lady Mildred's ebbing spirits came
rushing back in swift flow. She
thought she had key now to his cold
greeting and worn appearance. II was

The Ideal Street Car.


The ideal car. from the railway stand

can be used at all seasons of the wear and
Tor every service. 1t must be arranged in
such manner as to be agreeable alike to
women and to men who smoke For long
distance runs transverse seats are desir-
able, but these are at the expense of stand
ing ROOM For short runs the longitudinal
seats are best, in which case the standing
room Is at the maximum. AS it is the
standing load that pays, this is a most
desirable feature.
The problem is still further complicated
by other demands or needs of the public,
which, in addition to the points noted
wants car suited to the weather In win

summer entirely open. But when open it
must admit of being easily and quickly

requirements of a climate tickle at all sea-
sons of the year
An incredible number of convertible cars
have been built in the effort to obtain a
design which will combine all these fea-
lures. They are to be found In the car
barns of nearly every large railway COM
pany. Until recently none had reached or
even approached, the ideal. Some fatal de-
feet had. made itself manifest in every case
and with each new type the reluctant YER
dict was pronounced that the car of the fu-
ture was yet to be built.

flavor. The dockweeds-how ANNOYING the

There's pokeweed, commonest of them
all. In France 1t is cultivated. 1t takes it's
place with sage, thyme parsley and bay

CAUSE AND CURE OF RHEUMATISM.
Fruits That Should he Avoided or

From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
People suffering from that most distress
ing of diseases. rheumatism, should be care
full in their diet at all times. There is a
general impression that all fruits are
kealthful and may be INDUCED in freely by
invalids, but this is not the case. A South
Water street fruit merchant remarked the
other day: There is an impression very
prevalent in the minds of many persons
that there is rheumatism in Strawberries.
II may be only Imagination and due to the
season. but there is no doubt that persons
who are subject to rheumatic attacks suf-
fer from them very frequently during what

they eat Strawberries or not. l am salts

But there is one satisfaction, and that is
that while Strawberries may have some
thing to do with rheumatism, cherries,
which follow them. are an absolute cure
for rheumatism. l have never known a
person to suffer from rheumatism who ate
freely OF cherries. and / know of hundreds
who have been relieved of attacks by eating
them. l have often had cherries ordered
two or three months before the season for
them opened hereabouts and to supply the
orders have had to send to Cuba and to
California for them. The ordinary cherry
contains an acid which relieves if it does
not effectually cure. OF course it NAV all
be In the season, and that rheumatism
would disappear anyhow, but 1t is safe
to say there is rheumatism during the
cherry season. / don't know of anything
healthier, though even the best-tasting,
thoroughly ripe and perfect cherries start

JAPANESE wRESTLERS,
Their Physical Development is Some
thing Truly Remarkable.

From the Medical Record
Although the American is willing to con-
cede to the Japanese the possession of a
mental capacity almost, if not quite, equal
ling that of the majority of white races, he
Is apt to form a somewhat sighting opinion
of him as viewed from a physical stand
point. The specimens met with in this
country do not tend to convey a favorable
impression of their athletic powers. After
however. reading an account of the physi-
cal measurements of some Of the most
prominent Japanese wrestlers, a more re-
spectful attitude regarding the muscular
development of these little men will prob
ably be taken. The Jill Shimpo has recent
ly published a table giving the measure
ments of six of the foremost Japanese
lighters. From this table it is gathered
that the most bulky of these modern glad
1atorS weighs at the age of twenty-five
years about three hundred pounds; height
1--WE and half feet; girth of chest, fifty
eight inches; lung capacity, four thousand
four hundred and fifty cubic centimetres;
upper arm, eighteen inches.
Another one weighs over two hundred
and eighty pounds; height, six feet five
inches; girth of chest, forty-eght inches;
lung capacity, six thousand cubic cent?
metres; upper arm, sixteen inches. The
smallest of these fighting men weighs more
than two hundred pounds, measures in
height five feet seven inches while in lung
capacity he exceeds them all. There are
lew WreStbers or pugilsts in this or any
country VINO attain to these dimensions
and those who have seen some of the best
opponents of Japanese wrestling are willing
to back them when pitted against the pick
of the European or American experts, as it
is said that they are as skillful they are
powerful.

The Boy on the Farm.
From the Chicago T1mes-Hcrah.

Under spreading apple tree
Inc boy with bare feet stands;
He has ten apples In him and
Some more are In his hands
Beneath his waist of calico
His tunmy-tum expands.
His hair was shinglcd by his ina,
Who cut 1t straight behind;
lie has lurid color that
Is due to sun and wind
He's lost the teeth he had in front,
But doesn't seem to mind.
Week in. week out. from morn till night
He tears around the plaza,
win briar scratches on his legs
And fr"ckles on his face
The neighbOrs candidly admit
That mes hopeless case.
He wears his trousers at half-mast
He rises with the sun;
The chores his busy father leaves
For him are seldom DONE
And he Is always gone when there
Are errams to be run.
He goes on Sunday to .he church
And stays to Sabbath school,
Ana, by Propounding questions, makes
His teacher seem q fool;
lie pinches smaller boys than he,
And learns the golden rule.
His mother sits UP every night
To patch the clothes he wears,
ANA every night he takes them off
with more emphatic tears
lie falls from trees and into wells,
And smokes and chewsfand swcars.
The frightened chickens duck their heads
And cackle whereshe goes,
with ugly sites up9n his,eyes
And bruises on his toes
he eats things with his Knife, nor cares
For any wind that bljEs.

HOMESICKNESS.
Considerations Which Operate to Tho
Promotion of Nostalgia.

PROMOTION OF NOstulS1A.
From the Lancet.
There is a malady which boasts of a
learned appelIation compounded of two
Greek words, but which is better known
by a homelier and far more expressive
name in the vernacular, and yet, although
this binominal disorder is described in the
dictionaries as "a vehement beside =
affecting the physical health" it has not
been assigned a place in the "Nomencla-
ture of Diseases" for which the Royal
sponsible. The fact, too. that homesick
ness, if imperyious to drugs, Is neverthe-
less in the highest degree amenable to
treatment, might credbly seem to still
further Justify it's inclusion in the official
glossary of the 1,053 natural shocks that
flesh is heir to. With regard to the etiolo-
gy of this unqualified complaint there still
remain several points requiring elucda-
ton, albeit in it's genesis no bacillus Is
concerned. nor for its adequate diagnosis
is there any need Of either microscopic or
test tube.
Shortly stated, the essential factor in
the production of nostalgia is an environ
ment differing from that amid which the
affected persons passed his or her early
days. When this is the case some intangi-
BILE influence is generated, which reacts
upon the victim, but, just as happens in
many official maladies, there must be in
nate receptivity or preparedness of soil on
the part of the individual who succumbs.
This receptive state is favored by at least
three separate thingsrace, education and
temperament: but Of these predfsposing
causes the last possesses less power than
either of the other. Caeteris' paribus,
phlegmatic subjects are more likely to ex-
perience Inconsistencies than their san
guine comDeers A tendency to despond
without sufficient cause undoubtedly SUBJ
serves toward nostalgia, but ardent, en-
thusiastic people, who continually look for
ward-who never are, but always to be-
have the advantage, If advantage it be,
of remaining immune.
Education, or rather the want of it, is
more potent than temperament. the trend
of civilization, which Is equivalent to edu-
cation. being distinctly in the direction of
cosmopolitanism. The deeper the fgno-
rance the ruder the conditions of life under
