The author with all his fascinating and alluring promises for the future says, "ten years from now hotel guests will call for cool rooms in the summer with as much certainty of getting them as they now call for warm rooms in winter. Just think how comfortable and cozy life will be in the future when each housekeeper can make her own ice for the summer and the tired out "man' need not take his usual sum- mer trip to the mountains, but can have his own ozone and cool heights served to him in his own room. Most entrancing prospect may the day speedily arrive. The charm of the present issue Is centered in Sketches in Egypt" by c. D. Gibson. How characteristic, not only of the Ameri- can girl, but of Gibson as well that one of his immortal creations should be pie tured restfully ensconsed beside the eter- nal sphinx.
 Gibson writes of his stay in Egypt, which comprised several months, and sketches his thoughts and individual observations with much of the same dash and breadth of stroke which has made his pencil work famous.
 Kipling continues his studies of the now famous "Stalky & Co.," and as one enjoys the recital of the vigorous, breezy life of the college boys, the heart of the reader saddens as he asks himself how "could'' he have spared this strong young genius? May Kipling quickly recover his vigor of mind and body and long live to give us many another like "The White Mans Burden" The initial article in Scribner's is the never-failing one, "The Rough Riders," by Theodore Roosevelt. The article was begun in January and is to run through six num- bers. The many photographs taken at Tampa, Santiago, Cuba, and the head quarters of the Rough Riders are full of interest

 In the Atlantic Monthly is an unusually valuable and suggestive article entitled Talks to Teachers on Psychology" It is the second lecture in a series by William James, Professor of Psychology at Har- yard university. The paper is addressed to teachers, with suggestions of school-room work, but 1t is just as full of interest to the general reader.
 He sums up in one general aphorism which ought to dominate the conduct of the teacher namely: No reception without re- action, no impression without correlative expression" Prof. James claims that an impression which simply flows in at the pupils eyes or ears, and in no way modifies the active life, is an impression gone to waste.
 The author touches in an Intensely in- structive and entertaining way upon fear first as a native reaction then imitation, which shades imperceptibly into 'emula-

VETERANS ARE HOT
 AGAINST LEGISLATURE
ResoIution Introduced Condemning Passage
 Fzx<4 E -zy of Bm Providing for IndiRent Confeder- ate esoldiers-Referredt to Committee.

Camp Hardee met yesterday afternoon Considerable miscellaneous business was transacted, but the interest of the meeting was centered on 6 resolution offered by George c. Boyd, eondemning the action of the legislature in regard to the bill for re- lief of indigent confederate veterans.
 The resolution, which provoked a good deal of discussion, was, as follows:
 Whereas, The confederate veterans pre- scented bill to the last session of the leg islature for the relief of indigent soldiers and sailors of the confederacy, and,
 Whereas, At the instance of political in- fuehce, the said legislature passed bill that failed to give the relief asked, and serves more as an expedient to advance the political preferment of it's instigators,
 Therefore; we as a camp, unhesitatingly pronounce said bill passed as a fraud and insult to the confederates of the state.
 Judge Bush. who presided, called Thomas Y. Cain to the chair and spoke against the immediate adoption of the resolution. He said that the tone of the resolution was condemnatory of the legislature, which had several veterans among its members, and of the governor, who was also veteran. That he had not read the bill himself and was not thoroughly informed as to it's wording, and that he thought all the mem bers of the camp should be intelligently informed as to the purport and phrasing of the bill before voting upon the resolu- tion.
 Judge Bush then moved that the resolu- tion be referred to committee of five to carefully read the bill passed by the legis- lature and then to prepare a resolution to be acted upon two weeks hence.
 Gen. Ferguson offered an amendment to the motion providing that the other four camps of Jefferson county be invited to meet with Camp Hardee at that time to act jointly upon the resolution.
 The motion, with the amendment, was adopted by almost unanimous majority.
 Judge Bush resumed the chair and ap- pointed as a committee G. c. Boyd, Gen. Ferguson, T. s. Robertson, A. c. Oxford and T. Y. Cain.

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 the Amer jeans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of American business life, 1t Is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
 Real organic disease is incurable; but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble is or ganic.
 The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric
 In another way, also the heart is effected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There is a feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath.
 Poor digestion also poisons the blood. making it thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food.
 This can be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspep- sia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contain valuable, harmless digestive elements In pleasant, convenient form.
 It Is safe to say that the regular persist ent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach.
 Full sized package of these tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents. Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address, F. A. Stuart, Co.,, Marshall, Mich.

It Is within them that his true life is lived And his has been an eyentful life.

 MaJor-General Francis V. Greene writes an initial paper upon "The Capture of Ma nila."
 The most charming part of the Pail Mall Magazine is the last From a Cornish Window" by A. T. Quller- Couch Every thing "Q' writes is clever and full of bright things whether 1t be observations in general, book reviews, which he writes in a most individual way, or one of his own readable books.

 There is a suggestive article on "Sketch- ing From Nature" by H. villiers Barnett with picture of Wihelmina queen of Holland, sketching from nature at Cor bieres.
 Among many bright reflections upon the subject the author says: You may take it as an axiom that if you are not thorough in one hundred and twenty minutes you can not get sketch at all. You may have half a sketch or part of study or you may and probably will have wrought a perfect and dawning demonstration of failure. But you will not have a sketch in the right sense of the word" Amateur artists who have sketches, as the author sarcastically says, lon the bedroom walls. will sym pathize with the writer in his closing lines, when he says: What happy mornings they recall! What blissful afternoons! What memories of healthy effort, of pure and tender inspirations, of fresh-air dreams, of magic glimpses into the sweet ness and grandeur of the world"

So materially minded are most of us that the article that will be of absorbing inter- est to a large number of readers this month Is found in Pearson's magazine. It is a symposium upon the subject of How to Become Rich.,--wr2tten by the leading self-made millionaires of America. Hunt ington, Carnegie. Sage, Hetty Green and others, the very mention of whose names calls before the mental vision fabulous sums of wealth.
 Charles Broadway Rouss gives the key note to success when he says: Not in time, place, or circumstances, but in the man lies success; and the larger the field, the greater the results.
 "Credits and partnerships are the scourge of commercial history and the bane of commercial experience.
 "Credt is tempting, but ruin surely fol- lows in it's path"
 Each one of the ten contributors empha- sizes the statement that the prime requi- sites are honesty, industry and economy. But then we all know that these qualities, so excellent in themselves, do not always win fortune. Hetty Green, as we might have guessed, advises the seeker of for tune Ito mind her own business" The genial Chauncey Depew says: "The best foundation to lay in starting out to make a fortune is to cultivate vigorous health" Andrew Carnegie claims that no man should work more than ten hours day, no matter how eager to win fortune.
 But the dry goods prince and politician, who commenced life as a clerk earning 8 a week, gives the soundest advice after all. He says: Achieving success is really nothing more than a matter of determina- tion. The successful man-unike the poet lis made, not born" In fact, he must make up his mind that he really wants success, and then persstency will win.
 Apropos of "Pearson's," it is, you know, an English magazine, and this is its first number in this country. An almost end- less amount of matter has been written in London recently concerning cheap mag azines. Harmsworth's first cut the price to something like 5 cents; then Pearson's entered the contest to give thoroughly acceptable magazine for nominal sum; however, they found that cents was the lowest price at which the magazine could be sold upon paying basis. Consequently we have Pearson's for that amount
