be the queen of Saxony, is taking

many was born, January 27, 1859, the

crowd before the palace by Field Mar

sturdy a little recruit as heart could
wish to see.'
The palace of Emperor William I. in
Berlin has been kept in the condition
in which he left it. In the bedroom
there is still the simple iron bedstead
on which he always slept and on which
he died. 1t is suggestive of his simple
tastes in all respects.
Although Leopold, king of the Bel

archs, and a man of simple tastes with

cigar and smokes rather common to-
bacco. Belgium, by the way, has no
crown, so there is no coronation there,
the sovereign merely making oath to
protect the constitution.

WITH THE FRENCH.

The municipal councillors of Paris
are in fix. They wished to affix a
plaque to the house in which the late
Felix Faure was born. The plaque
was duly prepared and a man sent to
affiX it to II Rue du Faubourg ST.
Denis. But there the difficulty COM
menced. The owner of the property
declined to have his property "dese-
Grated"
Even aerial navigation has its ca
balls. The success of NJ. Santos-Du-
mont, the Brazilian, has nettled French
cliquishness and there are symptoms
of unfair opposition to his further at
tempts for the Deutsch prize. Santos
Dumont is the son of the "coffee king"
of Brazil, who employs 5000 laborers
on his plantation. The aeronaut is
the youngest of ten children and was
born in Rio de Janeiro in 1873.
A French investigator says the
brains of military and naval men give
out most quickly. He states that out
of every 100000 men of the military

artists are the first to succumb to the
brain strain, next the lawyers, fol-
lowed at some distance by doctors,
clergy, literary men and civil servants.

PERFUMED TO ORDER.
ers with Disagreeable OdOrs
by Crossing of Varieties.

While the notion of throwing a per-
fume on the violet would be undeniab bly,
absurd, there are certain other flowers,
much priced for their beauty of form
and color, which would be decidedly
improved by the addition of agreea BILE
odors. Of these a notable example is
the chrysanthemum, which has either
no smell at all or else an odor that is
rather disagreeable than otherwise.
Nevertheless, it may be that the IA
nous japanese blossom will, in the not
remote future, acquire satisfactory
perfume of its own through skillful
crossing of varieties, and attempts in
this direction are said to have been
made recently, says the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post.
Pansies have a very delicate and
pleasant odor, but it is so slight as to
be hardly distinguishable by ordinary
nostrils. Indeed, these butterfylilse
flowers are commonly regarded as
scentless, having never been cultivated
with a view to the improvement of
their bouquet. 1t is a neglect easily
remedied, however, and the production
of strongly perfumed blossoms of this
kind may fairly be expected as a COM
ing achievement Iof the florist.
Flowers may be bred for perfume
as well as for form and color; and
in this connection it is Interesting to
consider some things that have been
accomplished with Alpine plants. Such
plants usually have very large and
highly scented blossoms. because, ew-
ing to the comparative scarcity of in
sects in high mountain regions, it is
necessary to make a big and attractive
show in order to attract the small
winged creatures whose aid is needed
for accomplishing the process of fer
tiliZation. AT the same time. one no.
tees that vegetation at such attitudes
is commonly fur-clad, being provided
with a fuzzy coat as a protection
against climatic conditions.
One might not imagine that plants
native to such regions are susceptible
of cultivation under ordinary condi-
tons, but experiments have shown
that the fact is quite otherwise. Three
of the most beautiful varieties of Guilt
waited pinks are of Alpine origin, their
flowers being borne on stalks that are
only three or four inches high.

A NOTABLE SEA ANEMONE.

THE INFLUENCE OF NOISE;
Ono of the Reasons why Life in the
Country Is More HenIthful
Than in the City.

Very few people realize how i'm
portant factor noise is in the pro-
duction of disease. Although not
generally recognized, this is one of
the principal reasons why country
| life is more healthful than city life,
says Health. The proportionate ex-
cess of disease in cities is not all due
to defective dwellings, and imperfect
nutrition, although they are grave
contributing causes. 1t is the cease
less roar and din of a large city
that slowly but surely undermines
the health. Apart from it's baneful
effects upon the sense of hearing
itself, the ceaseless Babel of dis
cordant sounds peculiar TO large cit
les eXerts disastrous influence
upon the brain and nervous system,
which may with certainty be cata-
logued as one of the principal causes
of neurasthenia. 1t is true that the
system becomes habituated to it,
even as the operatives in a boiler
factory become so accustomed to the
changing of the hammers that the
cessation of work almost operates

becomes trained to take no active
cognizance of it, its demoralizing
effects are ever present When will
our legislators recognize the fact
that the health of the community is

/, it? Doubtless there are many
noises incidental to city life which
it is impossible to suppress, but a
very large proportion of them are
easily preventible-for instance, the
incessant discordant changing of car
gongs, the screeching and footing Of
switch engines in railroad yards, the
rattle of heavily loaded wagons over
badly paved streets and the deafen-
ing yells of fruit vendors and news
boys. In London the city govern
ment has recently taken steps to
suppress the last named nuisance
a proceeding which might be fol-
lowed with advantage in our own
cities. We are led to the above re-
Elections by the discharges of crack
ers that characterize the arrival of
the all-important Fourth, and at the
risk of being considered deficient in
patriotism we would raise the ques-
tion whether a nation like the Amer
lean, which leads the world in so
many important matters, could not
find some more reasonable method
of expressing its jubilation than by
a din of discordant sound emanating
from fireworks, horns and steam
whistles? The lower we descend in
the scale of humanity the greater we
find the Partially for noise, and
reasoning from this standpoint the
present means employed in the cele-
bration of the popular events is by
no means complimentary to the
boosted breeding of the nation. We
cannot avoid the conclusion that in
nation of gentlemen the disease
producing din which is an accom-
paniment of present city life would
be conspicuous by its absence,

BURGLARS NEVER BOLD.
Victims Generally the Same-"Gritty''
Foster from Joliet Gives Up
Professional Secrets.

Bold burglars, or bold "croobs" of
any sort, are much more scarce than
their victims have any idea of. ''They
don't succeed because they are bold
or have bravery that amounts to
more than sublime assurance, but be-
cause the great maiority of their vic
tins are cowards.' These were the
words of Charles f. Foster, alias
Gritty and numerous other names,
all of which he himself cannot re-
member. as he reached Jersey City

had spent three years and eight
months for burglary in Chicago, re-
lates the Record-Herald of that, city.
That's right" continued CHAR
ley" land l know what I'm talking
about. A burglar with sense knows
that people will get out of his way

to allow him to escape, rather than
run the risk of having their own

''Cowardice simply invites burglars.
If the rule was to receive burglars
with a club or revolver there would
be lots fewer in the business. If men
were willing TO take little chance
of being hurt burglars wouldn't take
chances with them. No men are more
careful of their hides than burglars,
and their courage amounts only to a
reliance on the weakness OF human
nature.

The profession understands this.
"After two or three cases of jump

risk of some injury or even death
there would be no more train rob-
berries. But people submit, and the
business goes on. Bravery of bur-
