MISS DAISY LETTER.
american Girl Who Is to Marry Maj. Con.
lin r. Campbell)

lin p Campbell)
ceives the honors due to an emperor.
In order to give him added dignity Mr..
Curzon was raised to the peerage under
the title Of Lord Curzon of Kedleston.
Lord Curzon's American wife had to
share to a great extent in her hus-
bands responsibilities, and bore them
with success and dignity. The vice.
regal court at Calcutta and Simla un-
der her sway has been more brilliant
than ever before.
AS additional ornaments to her court
Lady Curzon had her two sisters, Miss
Nancy and Miss Daisy Letter, with her.
They have spent the whole summer
in India, and have been the most popu-
lar bellies of the mountain settlement
Mt Simla, where the Anglo-Indian court
and society establish themselves in the
summer.
Many absurd and extraordinary
stories, says the New York Sunday Jour
nal, were published concerning the over
bearing manners of the Letter family.
They originated doubtless with per-
sons of spiteful disposition and in
ferior position in Indian society.
One alleged dispatch from Calcutta
stated that Mrs. Letter, as mother of
Lady Curzon, expected the horors that
are given to a queen dowager in Europe.
Mrs. Letter was not even in India at the
time this statement was made.
But, most wonderful of all, it was al
legged that Anglo-Indian society re-
belled because the Letter girls claimed
precedence as relatives of the viceroy.
The aides-de-camp Of the viceroy were
reported to be furious because they
were required to ride in attendance
upon the Misses Letter, as if they were
princesses Of the blood royal.
One would like to see an Anglo-In-
dian officer and gentleman who would
refuse to give precedence to pretty
girl and ride or dance attendance upon
her. just as II she were princess.
: AS matter Of fact the Misses Letter
were extremely popular among the
suite Of the viceroy, and practically all
the unmarried young men in the suite
threw their hearts and fortunes at the
feet of the American beauties. The
aides of the viceroy are young officers
OF noble family, who are chosen to i'm
press the natives by their handsome
uniforms, their fine appearance and the
antiquity of their lineage.

Cold water a stimulant

According to high authority, cold
water is valuable stimulant to many,
# not all people. Its action on the heart
is more stimulating than brandy. It
has been known to raise the pulse from
76 to over a hundred.

Honey baths for Gems.

All precious stones are purified by
bath in honey, according to an old idea.
Many curious notions are current in
regard to gems, as, for instance, that
the agate qpenches thirst, and, II put
into the mouth, nllays fever.

Alcohol for Automobiles.

The majority of motor cars are now
driven by petroleum, but French en-
gineer recommends the use of alcohol
instead, and motors are being altered
SO az to consume it. There is no fear
Of explosion with alcohol, and it is said
to be less costly than petroleum.

It grows on vines which closely re-
semble in appearance cucumber vines.
Each of the vegetable rags grows in
side case which looks like a green
gourd, is or 20 inches long. The rag
proper is primarily intended as a sup
port for the seeds of the plant. When
unfolded it is five inches wide by foot
long. It is of loose and somewhat
rough texture, more nearly resembling
crash than any other manufactured
fabric. The vegetable wash cloth is
said to possess the desirable property
Of making the skin smooth and soft.

ship at the bottom Of the unseemly con-
troversy between Schley and Sampson.
They feel that both admirals did grand
service in the war against Spain. and
that, as Schley once put II. there was
glory enough for both" What they de-
sire is that both shall be honOred. Some
criticism has been made Of the admins
tration because OF the advance Of Samp-
son above Schley, but it is by no means
an unprecedented thing TO advance one
Officer Of the navy or army over a senior
in rank, when the emergencies OF the
case seem TO warrant such a proceeding.
and that the president believed Sampson
was the right man for the chief command
Of the naval operations against the Span
ish feet and the Cuban ports held by
Spain must be conceded. The trouble
first took definite shape. so as to be dan
gerous. with the proposition TO revive
the grade Of admiral. for the benefit Of
Rear Admiral Dewey, whose important
work in the Philippine Islands was
deemed worthy OF a reward no less.
Friends OF both the other rear admirals
thereupon demanded that the other dis.
used grade Of vice admiral should be
revived, and both parties wanted it for
their favOriues 1t even went so far
that the deserved and desired promo
ton OF Admiral Dewey was endangered.
In fact. the matter Of reviving the
higher grade was hung up" 1t is to

The Organization OF a mothers
league TO promote a more intelligent
and modern administration Of public
school affairs in Astoria is worthy OF
encouragement. The ability Of women to
succeed in the professions and in some
business pursuits is no longer questioned
and they are welcomed as participants in
these sterner walks by liberaI-minded
men who admit their keenness OF intel
lect their safe reasoning powers and Their
industry. As directors Of public schools
they would be In a much more congenial
sphere and one in which they would ac-
eomplish even better results. Since pub
Hc sentiment in Clatsop county has not
yet progressed so far as to tolerate wo-
men for directors. as is the custom in
many Of rhe most intelligent and refined
communities Of America. let US at least
do the next best thing-admit some OF
them to share in the government OF
our public schools by proxy The schools
come next TO the homes. and it is but
step from the ruler Of the latter to be-
come an adviser OF the former Women
as teachers admittedly accomplish more
IN the primary and in many Of the higher
grades than do men. 1t is not unreason-
able to believe that an organized body OF
weIl-educated women behind our school
board would prove a valuable aux
iliarv to the board and a benefit TO
our schools. Too little importance is usu-
ATTY attached to visits TO our schools by
directors and too few are made. The
sanitary arrangements Of buildings and
rooms need constant and better super
vision than they are apt to get from men.
Teachers and scholars are kept to a
higher pitch when their work is submit
ted to me test of inspection, and by no
one would inspection be more thorough
than by well-qualifed women. who are
in sympathy with the pupil and the
teacher and are conversant with the best
methods OF education Astoria will not
regret the organization OF a mothers
league for this purpose, and the time
cannot be far distant when school cleo
ton voters will recognize the peculiar
fitness Of women as full-hedged directors
and give them their support in preference
