Diplomatic buds,

Mark Twain has turned reformer
His symptoms are not alarming, but
he goes at it with considerable ardor
He has lived abroad great DEAL and
he has frequent occasion to observe
the duds of diplomats at foreign courts
He considers it a great hardship that
our ministers and ambassadors are
paid much less than the representa-
dives of other powers, and an addition
al hardship that they are restricted to
the swallow-tail coat, at diplomatic
and other functions, where the repre-
sentatives of other powers appear in
all the glory of gold rope and in all the
colors of the rainbow. The butterfly
hues of the general crowd, he says,
make our representatives the most
conspicuous persons there and instead
of being democratic simplicity it is
really democratic ostentation, sort of
overweening pride in our humility.
Mar. suggests that in order to over
come the difficulty our ambassadors
and ministers should be given the
rank OF admiral or general while they
represent us at foreign courts, so that
lAey could legFtimately wear the uni
form belonging to such military or
naval officials on all occasions of state,
and not to be compelled to make them
selves ridiculous by appearing in what
he calls might dress" in the day
time Mark succeeds in actually rous-
ing pity for our representatives, and
it is easy to fancy that they feel not
little embarrassed by reason of not
conforming totheir surroundings in the
matter of dress. Uncle Sam has been
so busy, thus far during his career that
he has not paid much attention to duds
and still in his own person, wears the
same striped trousers with which he
started out in life. Congress, too, we
know, has some very queer notions on
,he same subject, some of its members
objecting even to the spike-tailed coat;
but as it never has objected in the
least to army or naval uniforms. 1t may
be that Marks suggestion would be
the easiest one to adopt to relieve our
diplomats from their present embar-
assment.-Plttsburg Times.

Woman.

For a woman to be much respected
often means TO be but lTutle loved.
1t ia woman's greatest curse that in
tco many of her most tragic woes
there enters an element of the ridicu-
lous, which compels her to be either
silent or absurd.
Women are often apparently hard
because they are too spirftual-minded.
They do not always comprehend a
standard lower than their own. II
they were little more earthly they
would be softer If less admirable.
hate women who are 'emanclpat-
ed;' | like them born free.
Men love women not for what they
are but for what they seem. The
woman who is better than she looks
never gets credit for her virtues.
am always sorry to hear of a wom-
an having written a great book; 1t is
so often the outcome of unhapiness.
Happy women feel and do not think.
The number of women in society
who are too delicate to do anything
they dislike is remarkable. They are
always strong enough for amusement.
Contrary to the received opinion
women who have gone a little off the
line are the quickest to talk scandal
about other women. Like the fox who

Telegraphic Tips.

The 10th immunes, colored, were
mustered out in Macon, Ga, Wcdnes-
day, the work of paying them off be-
ginning about o'clock. The colonel
of the regiment held authority over
the men by holding their discharges
until the men were aboard the trains,
in this way avoiding trouble in the
city or at camp.
The fact that the soldiers who are
wounded in the trenches around
Manila and elsewhere in the Philip
pines need care, has not been over.

Frances Economical President.

The new President is not likely TO
give himself airs. He has no taste for
official grandeur, and is quiet, home
ly, obliging, intelligent body and was
a provincial advocate. AS to being
tres gentleman, the notion has never
entered his head. The worst thing in
his record is having tried to shelter the
Panamists of Parliament and trailed
Cornehus Herr like a red herring
across the scent of their pursuers.
But he is personally honest, is not
rich, and until he went as Speaker of
the Senate to the Petit Luxembourg
lived in a plainly furnished fiat ip the
Rue de Seine. The dining-room table
at meal times was for economy's sake
covered with a white oilcloth. He is
turned sixty.-London Truth.

Mothers Mistake.


Marietta Mothers Make It, But with Lit
tie Light There Need be None.
How carefully parents guard the Sc
crets of their boys and girls. AT night
as they carefully tuck the Ted clothes
around them they chide aid warn them
that they will be angry If they repeat
last nights otfense, softly say ing to
themselves, it's only habit, but we
must break them of 1t. This is the pa
rents mistake. The children cannot
help it, and sweet, clean Cry beds, can
be tho resting place of every chile when
1T is understood that the cause is not u
habit, but n weakness that can be cur
elk. Active lille of the little ones tend
to weaken the kidneys, and weak kid
ness means inability to retain the urine
This as n condition not habit and
should have the fame prompt attention
YOU would give To the marked symp-
toms OF any disease. One DUan's Kid
ney Pills taken twice a day and at bed
time will strengthen the kidneys of n
child and in short time there will be
no cause to scold. for the so-called hab-
IL will disappear promptly.
Mrs. WIN. Mcbride, of No. 2S2 West
Bloom street, Mansfield, o., says: My
little boy when he was eight weeks old
was attacked with rheumatism. lie
recovered from the immediate effects
of it but ever since he has had weak
kidneys. This has given me great
deal of trouble both during the night
and the day, on account OF the inabili-
ty to retain the urine. 1t apparently
had he effect OF making him feel poor
ly, for his appetite tagged aud he did
not thrive. We we're anxious to get
something that would benefit him so
when we noticed more tuan account
of Doan's Kidney Pills curing such cas-
es we got him box. We gave him one
pill at a time and were very much
pleased that he was taking a turn for
the better, and showed steady improve
ment. We can recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills for this distressing weakness
in children"

A Gas Bill Tragedy.

In the vest pocket of man who
committed suicide the coroner found
nothing but a gas BILL on the back of
which was written:
Il solemnly swear that burned less
gas last month than ever before in my
life; and yet, this bill speaks for itself.

Heroes of the Railway.

The Century has published several
articles on the Heroes of Peace, and
one of the best of the series appears in
the March number of the magazine. 1t
is called Heroes of the Railway Ser
vice." and consists OF notes from the
experience of Mr.. Charles De Lano
Hine. The writer is a graduate of
West Point, who, after serving four
years as an officer, voluntarily resign
ed his commission in the army to be-
come freight brakeman. He worked
six months as a brakeman and two
years as yard-master, all of the time
in constant contact with the men and
the dangers he describes. In the late
war he was a Major in the First Dis
trict of Columbia Volunteer Infantry.
Here is one of the good stories he
tells:
Not long ago a freight conductor
started on night run after drawing
his months wages from the pay-car.
He had with him his young son, lad
of twelve, and when well under way
they began to cook supper on The ca
watch in the cupola, observed thatthe
engine seemed to have unusual diff
Guilty in pulling the train. He did not
connect this fact with the presence of
several hoboes on top of the cars who,
unknown to him, were setting the
brakes and stalling the train. The
front door of the caboose flew open,
and four masked and armed men Or
dered the occupants to throw up their
hands. The conductor jumped to
shielu his child, seized a coupling pin,
and smashed head, but not until four
shots had rung out and three bullets
wer in his body. Fighting to the last
he fell dead in the doorway. The
brakeman was shot in the arm, and
made his escape to the ground. Fear
ing he would give the alarm and cause
their capture, the bandits fed. Then
the boy showed that the blood of he
roes is transmitted to succeeding gen
erations. He pulled the body of his
father aside, and cody secured his
money and watch. He noticed that
the train was barely moving, and it oc-
Cured to him that there was second
section close behind. He knew the
brakeman had no lantern even if alive.
The plucky boy took the red light and
torpedoes, dropped off, ran back, eX-
pecting at every step to be shot, and
tagged the other train. Travellers
westward over the Big Four sometimes
wonder why a slender volunteer seems
so prominent in helping the switchmen
attach the dining car at one of the ter
minals. If they happen to inquire. the
men reply: why, that's Johns boy.
the conductor those buns put in the
clear that pay day last year"
Other striking tales of heroism on
the railroad are told by Mr. Gustav
Knobbe.

year ago, Admiral Won Dledrichs, of
the German navy, was at Manila, an

an important task to perform. But
the commodore knew his business and
the admiral succeeded only in bring
ing the neutrality of has own country
