Mr.. Rudyard Kipling's objection to
being interviewed is known to all the
world. But the rule which Mr.. Kip
ling has lain down for himself with
regard to the Anglo-Saxon world
seems to be relaxed when due ap-
proaches are made by foreigners. Per-
haps Mr.. Kipling is of the well-known
view that foreign opinion is a sort
OF contemporary posterity. At any
rate, he has been interviewed by DR..
Leon Kellner, who is on a prolonged
visit to England to collect materials
for his proposed History" on which
he has been engaged for the last ten
years. DR.. Kellner naturally desired
to learn something about the most
prominent figure in English literature
at the end of the era-his aims, his
method Of work, and the factors which
have gone to create SO remarkable a
phenOmenon-and with TeutOnic d.
rectness he applied to the distinguish
ed author himself. The result was an
interview which appeared recently as
a feuilleton in Viennese journal-the
"Neues Wiener Tagblatt"-
with Mr.. Kiplings permission.
What appears to have struck DR..
Kellner most in the personality Of his

X. Capron, of the Rough Riders, son Of
Capt. Capron, Sr., was killed. His hat
was placed to cover his face, black
rubber poncho thrown over the body.
Only the rough, mudclotted shoes pro-
truded from beneath the poncho. Word
was sent to Capt. Capron, Sr., and he
soon reached the scene Of the engage
ment. White-faced, but upright, he
stood for moment looking down at
that black, forbidding outline in a by
path of thicket-all that remain of
the last Of three promising sons.
STOPPING, he lifted the hat from the
dead boys face, and gazing at him
with moist eyes said; "Well done
boy!" Then replacing the hat he
turned on his heel and marched stifay
away. s4r.

Looking Orderly.
Winter is difficult season Of the
year for the careful woman who is
particularly neat about her trinity
shod feet. Snow is as disfguring as
mud on nicely polished leather and
rubbers certainly do not add to their
cleanly appearance. But little care
will keep them in orderly niceness.
When you remove your heavy street
boots, don't toss them away in the
closet all rumpled. Take time to
stretch the uppers trife to straight
en- out the lacing wrinkles. Do the
same with the tongue. Brush of the

flesh where the strings are drawn up
tightly. Don't be stingy with shoe
strings. Your dealer will furnish
them free of charge, SO change them
often. Besides being clean, they add
greatly to the appearance of the shoe.
Watch your heels and have them re-
ing of at one side. Nothing SO dis

than rundown heels. besides the shoe
soon loses it's shape where the heel
turns and will break where the un-
wonted strain is occasioned by the
twisted shoe.

ARMY AND NAVY.

Recognizing the good results that
accrue from soldiers singing when on
the march the minister for war OF
England has just ordered $4,000 books
OF patriotic and military songs as an
experiment. These will be distri-
buted to the men in infantry regi-
ments and classes for singing will be
instituted in the barracks. A similar
experiment, made in France by Gen.
Poillowe of St. Mars, has been at
tended with marked success, the num-
Der of stragglers on the march being
reduced by 10 per cent owing to the
singing.
Much favorable comment Is being
made upon the recommendation OF
Secretary Long that the vessels to be
added to our naval force in the future
are to be sheathed and coppered. In
this way the ships we send abroad
can be maintained for an indefinite
period at sea without the necessity of
searching a dockyard at frequent in
tervals. A modern cruiser provided
with sheathed bottom and coppered
surface can be kept at sea for whole
cruise without danger to her safety or
efficiency.
The additions to the navy proposed
by the naval board on construction
contemplate an expenditure of $685.
100, 900, distributed as follows, says the
Scientific American: Three 13,500-ton
battleships, to cost $3,600,000 each;
three 12,OO0-ton armored cruisers, to
cost $4,000,0O0 each; three 6,000-ton
protected cruisers, to cost $2,150,000
each, and six 2,5O0-ton protected
cruisers, to cost $1,141, 900 apiece. Each
Of these vessels is to carry 'the heav-
lest armor and most powerful ord
nance for vessels Of their class, to
have the highest practicable speed
and great radius Of action" II the
nation has any conception Of the vast
responsibilities which the acquisition
of the Philippines has placed upon it
there will be no difficulty In securing
the necessary appropriation for max
ing this addition to our navy. The
naval board shows wisdom in recon-
mending that every one of these If
teen ships we wood sheathed and cop
pered.

scr1peions without Orders.
From the New York Sun: Only a
short time ago several physicians
prominent in special branch of prac-
tice met to decide in what way they
could best bring to the attention Of
colleague question that interested
them greatly. This physician was al
most the best known in his speciality
In the city, but his charges, In view
OF his reputation, have always been
so moderate that his associates felt
the need Of protesting. But 1t was
decided not to protest, and the physi-
clan received only an intimation that
his fees sometimes astonished his
brothers in the profession. One physi-
clan in town has recently introduced
a practice which is said to be increas-
ing In popularity with the profession,
and 1t Is likely that the custom will
be adopted widely by those physicians
who have authority enough to at
tempt anything so novel. This doctor
has his patients take the prescription
to druggist who is forbidden by the
terms of his agreement to renew the
prescription except upon a written or
der from the doctor. No patient can
get his bottle or box refilled unless he
brings the new prescription, which
means, OF course, another visit to the
doctor. The bottles are Of size that
lasts for a week. In some cases the
same medicines are renewed week af-
ter week, but with the order that
comes only from the visit to the doc
tor. They are changed in few cases.
The profession has not protested
against this new fashion as yet, and
it is not likely that 1t will. But 1t Is
only the influential and authoritative
among the physicians that are able
to attempt 1t.

Edisor.s Plan for Removing SNOW.

Edison's latest suggestion Is that
snow can be removed from city streets
not by melting machines, but by port
able steam power compressors, which
will scoop up the snow in steel scoop
buckets and squeeze it into cakes 12x
12x12 inches in volume, which will be
practically solid Ice. Carts and men
following the compressor can take up
the cakes with tongs as they drop to
the street, says Edison, and a market
can be found for enough snow cubes to
pay the interest on the cost Of the
machinery.
