useful hints as to invitations to weddings
and other ceremonies; monograms, book
plate seals and stationery; it IS also a
treatise on various social usages The
author approaches his subject philos Jph-
ically, and with the belief that 1t is fully
worthy of studious attention. 'Tne Amer
leans" he sets forth in his introdu ctiol,
''are industrially and socially a competent
people, but we do not act as though we
were. He adds that his book properly
may be called "a plea for American orig
inality"
Inasmuch as the better part of the work
is devoted to a discussion of coat armor
in America and of heraldic designs. thiz
statement seems somewhat anomalous
but the author Justifies his position b.
explaining that nation, state and city
have all taken seals which are absolute
ly heraldic.
Our connection with the whole of ais
tocracy,' he adds, 'as represented by the
coat of arms, is completely severed but
we have not yet severed our connec ion
with our ancestors. 1t is absurd, there
fore, to say that an American has no
right either to an eagle or a coat of arms
That, at least, is the American point Of
view, and it is de facto the only correct
one"
With this In mind, the author thinks
Americans should conclude that they are
not obliged, upon principle, to reject coat
armor, and, furthermore, that they neel
not accept 1t on any other ground than
that of either sentiment OF art. Heraldry
in the near future must be reegated to a
position among the arts, but its designs
may be used in accordance with the rules
Of art, while Ignoring the original purpose
which 1t served. The work is Illustrated
by specimen plates of heraldic designs and
facsin1iles of correct styles OF invitations,
acceptances and announcements The
chapters relating to stationery of social
forms are written wi h knowledge os the

A COMEDIAN
 IN THE FAR EAST
Harry LiGhtwood Sang in the "Mikado" in Japan. But Had to Call the Opera
 "John Smith,"

The bill tonight at Lakeview will be the opera, "Olivette." The Elite Opera Com pany has prepared this with much elabor- ate detail, obtained very handsome cos tunes, especially made for this opera, and the staging will be brilliant.
 MT Harry Lightwood will be in the role of Coquelicot, part which he has played before with great success.
 The Philadelphia Enquirer, in comment ing on his work at the Arch theatre, said: MT. Lightwood broke the record last night, receiving no less than twelve en- cores to one song"
 MT. Lightwood is a cosmopolitan of the most pronounced type, having played on the comic opera stage in every part of the world. Twelve years of his life were spent in China and Japan, and he bears on his chest and arms a perfect picture gallery of Japanese art, done in tatooing, which was done at intervals in a period cover- ing two years. He was a member of the first company that presented the opera ''Mikado" in the Japanese Emperors own land, and mentions an amusing incident of the Oriental etiquette that prevailed in the "Flowery Kingdom before the advent of western ideas. The operatic company that had travelled so far to show to the east the western methods of stage enter tainments had made all their preparations for the first performance, being equipped with Japanese costumes purchased from the native shops when an unexpected ob- stacle developed. They were informed by the court officials that nothing that seemed to bring the name of the Mikado into ridi- cule would be allowed in a public enter tainment. Here was diemmai But after much passing to and fro of official com munications, the management was told that if the Mkado's name was eliminated the opera could be presented. This was gladly accepted, and wherever the word ''Mka do" occurred the Japanese equivalent for "John Smith was substituted. With this alteration the opera was staged, and had a tremendous run of popularity.
 MT. Lightwood has scrap-book of news paper clippings that is itself curiosity, containing as it does press notices culled from newspapers published in Sydney, Melbourne and provincial towns of Aus tralia; English papers published in India, China and Japan; as we'll as from points all over this country, England and the continent and ranging over a score of years

FACTS ABOUT FLOUR.
Made White by Leaving Out the Part Which
 Helps Digest

Modern methods of milling separate the parts of the wheat berry that contain the diastatic element, and furnish only the white flour made up almost entirely Of starch.
 One of the principal clements needed to digest this starch has been left out in the process and therefore the persoE who eats much white bread is almost sure to have intestinal troubles, for the starch does not digest properly and must oe necessity decay, and cause all sorts of trouble.
 Grape-Nuts food, on the contrary, is made up of the entire wheat and barley, and the processes of digestion as shown in the human body, are copied as exactfy as possible, in a mechanical way, by the use of moisture, time, and warmth No chemicals or other ingredients are used, hut the simple methods scientifically g. ranged. r.s
 In this way the starch of the grain Is transformed into grape sugar, and the Grape-Nuts food, which appears in gran ular form, shows on the outside of the little granules, glittering specks of this grape sugar, which is not put onto the food from the outside, but is result of the change of the starch into grape sugar, which works out to the surface, very much as the sap of the hickory or maple tree will frequently show in the shape of white sugar on the sawed-off ends of logs
 A handful of Grape-Nuts held to the light will show the little glittering par ticles of grape sugar. It Is naturally and scientifically predigested, therefore the food agrees with the weakest sort of d stomach. It must not be used in large quantities at one meal, for 1t Is concern trated, and overlooking of even the choicest food Is not advisable.
 Being perfectly cooked at the factory, the food can be served instantly either dry or wet, cold or hot. When wanted hot, hot water, milk or cream can be poured over it. There is a definite, dis tinct and undeniable gain in nervous energy. and vitality when Grape Nuts food is used.

SOME STATE PRIDE IS LEFT
Grand Effort of the Mobile Press Club to Secure from Disgrace the Name and Fame of
 Great State

The Mobile Press Club are determined that the battleship Alabama shall be pre- sented with worthy testimonial from the people of Alabama ,and there isn't man worthy to share in the glory and greatness of the state who will not heartily wish the Mobilians the fullest measure of success
 Under the auspices of the Press Club there will be a grand entertainment at Monroe Park, Mobile, July 30. There will be great military competitive drill, press clubs baseball game. unique contest of old fidders; ethletic exhibitions, games, amusements scientific sparring, open air concert by the famous "Spasm band of New Orleans, and many other attractions. This is noble undertaking for a noble cause.-the interest of all Alabamians in the states proud history. Every Ala bamfan who prizes that which is worthiest and proudest in the life of a people should send the money for one or more tickets, no matter whether he can attend the en- tertanment
 The price of ticket is but half dol lar; and the entire proceeds will be de- voted to the purchase of silver service for the Alabama.

 Mobile, Ala, July 10, 1900. MT. Lucien Julen Walker, Dear Sir:
 Several weeks ago the Mobile Press Club was organized for the immediate purpose of playing a game of baseball with the newspaper men of New Orleans, whom we defeated in that city at a great Catholic festival in 1885,
 AS the gate receipts were expected to amount to not less than $500 the question arose as to the disposition of the funds. My suggestion to the money nu- cleus for fund to purchase a silver serv- ice or suitable testimonial for the battle ship Alabama was adopted, my state pride having been aroused by article on the subject from your pen, which l repro duced in the Herald. The boys became en- thusiastic, and several of us are now working night and day in behalf of a great festival for the Alabama fund. We now expect to realize at least 5000, and we would be pleased to have you attend the festival and banquet to be given the New Orleans newspaper men on June 29, the festivities occurring next day, as per tick cts enclosed
 Should you feel so disposed, we would appreciate a mention of the movement, as we intend to sell tickets to many promin- ent men throughout Alabama. Yours very truly, MAX HAMBURGER, JR.,
 President Mobile Press Club.

 The Kyle Lumber Co.,,
 Gadsden Ala, July 12 1900 MT Iucien Julien Walker, Birmingham, Ala.
 Dear Sir-In several issues of the Age Herald I have noticed, under caption or Tn Hotel Lobbies and Elsewhere refer ence made to lack of interest displayed by Alabamians in procuring a suitable gift for the United States battleship Alabama. The people of Gadsden for a long time have been fully alive to the importance of not allowing other states to outstrip Alabama in patriotic sentiment; and as far back as 1898 I had the pleasure of forwarding Gadsden's small subscription, amounting to $96S0, to MT. J. A. Rountree treasurer of the Alabama Battleship Testimonial Asso- citation, receipt of which was duly acknwl- edged, and if I am not mistaken the Age Herald mentioned the donation at the time. In one of your articles you stated that Gadsden had not been heard from. You see that you have done Gadsden quite an injustice as it appears that we were at least a year and a half in advance of MT. King of Huntsville and the commendable newspapers of Mobile. Gadsden does not boast of her charity or her patriotism, but I am glad that the facts go to show that we are not behind others in our efforts even though they are feeble, in behalf of such a worthy cause. Yours very truly,

Certainly worth Something.

In rural community in one of the
middle states dwelt a man who made a
vow in 1856 that he would wear his hair
and beard untrimmed until John C. Ere
mont should be elected president of the
United States. He kept the VOW for 40
years, at the end of which time he had
nearly a half bushel of hair on his head
and face. Then, coming to the conclu-
sion, toward which his mind had been
gradually working for a long time, that
Gen. Fremont's death in the interval
had practically absolved him from his
vow, he decided to have his hair cut and
his beard shaved off clean. On his next
visit to the county-seat he vent to bar
ber-shop and was soon relieved of the
hirsute burden he had carried for four
decades. Glow much?" he asked
