AS the wife of vice-president OF de
United States Mrs. Roosevelt will be
Obliged to assume prominent position
in the world, and it must be said fer
her that she has yielded to the inevi-
table with grace and dignity. The
state of Mrs. McKinley's health pre-
cludes the possibility of her taking
active part in society, which relegates
the responsibilities of "the first lady
in the land" to Mrs. Roosevelt. The,e
is much curiosity in Washington Sc
ciety concerning the new leader. There
will not be much seen of her until next
year, however. The yice-president 3
family will not take up a permanert
residence in Washington until ne,t

Mrs. Roosevelt was Miss Edith
Kermit Carow. She is now about 38
years old, and, while not beautiful:
woman, possesses an unusual attract.
iyeness of face and figure. She has ar,
unmistakable appearance of racial dis.
tinction, and has also the simple, gra
cious manners of truly aristocratic

STRETCHING GIT TOO FAR.
Privilege Docs Not Permit Lawyer to

Judge Thomas of the United States
court has correct idea of legal ethics
and he enforces his views with re-
freshing directneSS and decision in his
declaration that the relation of attor-
ney and client does not excuse an at
torney from withholding evidence
bearing upon an intention or arrange
ment on the part OF the client to per-
form some Illegal act in the future or
the actual doing of such an act. A
man under Indictment had been ad-
mltted TO bail and then fed. The
grand jury desired TO learn who helped
him in his flight. The lawyer who
represented him said he was employed
to do so by third person, and the
grand jury desired to reach this third
person and find out where the accused
man was and who was priyy to his
escape. The lawyer declined to give
this information on the ground that
his relation with a client was priyi-
legged. Judge Thomas refused to rec
ognize this as within the proper limits
OF professional confidence and ordered

AN HEREDITARY MOLE.
And the Influence 1t Exerted Over One

| Family Fortune.
They were in the Turkish bathhouse

response to the suggestion of her dark

oh, there's no secret about it and l

You know | am quite superstitious
about many things. Well. this mole is
not the first to appear in our family.
In fact, my great-grandfather, my
grandfather and my father each had
one, and as there were no sons of my
parents the family mole seems TO have
descended to me. None of the other
girls has one
What happened to my great grand
fathers mole does not appear IN the
family records and he probably kept it
to the end OF his days Not so with
my grandfather. He yielded to per-
sonal vanity and got rid of it in the
old-fashioned way by tying silk
thread around it. Luck promptly
turned against him and he died poor
My father started in life with little
or nothing. but was successful in
central New York business, and while
still a young man amassed a comfort
able fortune. About this time some
new electrical treatment for the cure
of skin blemishes was widely adver-
tised and my father fell victim to it
and had his mole aiken off Shortly
afterward he decided to give up his
business in New York to enter what
looked like a more promising field in
California
We all moved out there and the
country and climate We're admirable,
but business was not and complete
failure followed. OF course, you may
think that the removal of the mole
had nothing TO do with this fact, but

to do with it

Cow wor.b,p In Africa

Two short marches on February 9Th
and 9th brought us to a long pool of
still water. Here we found another
branch of the Magois. who called
themselves Katua. To my surprise l
discovered these people to be COW wor-
shippers and to indulge in certain rites
which We're supposed to be peculiar to
the Hindu religion. The origin of this
COW worship is presumably the same
with the Katua as with the Hindu.
traceable to the great dependence
placed upon the animal for sustenance.
The Katua eat the COW, but all their
people turn out when the beast is
killed and go through much ceremony.
They would not sell single cow.-The

1t is said that carload of evaporat-
ed eggs, valued at $4,000, was lately
shipped from Springfield, Mass, for San
Francisco, where it will be placed on
steamer bound for Cape Nome The
eggs were put in one-pound screwtop
cans, sixty cans in a case, and will
answer any purpose in the culinary
line except boiling. The moisture be-
ing taken out of them when they are
prepared leaves nothing to boil. The
largest egg-evaporating establishment
in the world is located at Springfield.
The process of evaporating is done
with hot air, and it takes eight hours
to thoroughly evaporate an egg. About
four dozen are equal to a pound of the
preparation. The Springfield factory
employs seventy-five people, and its
capacity for consuming eggs is about
400 cases day. The goods are shipped
to all foreign countries, and in Europe
especially there is a big demand, as
the English government has placed the
preparation on the hospital supply list.
The Klondike country is heavy user
of this brand of evaporated eggs. as
no matter what the price of the fresh
hen fruit may be or how scarce it is,
the evaporated egg retains its old
price, and is always on hand and ready
for business.-New England Grocer.

How Minister WI squelched an Untruth-
full Correspondent.
One of the most commendable char
acteristics of the Chinese minister at
Washington is his franksess. He does
not hesitate to express his opinion up
on all matters that are brought to his
attention. One day he was visited by a
Washington newspaper correspondent,
who is perhaps not alone in his profess
sion in regarding himself as a great
man. Before he had learned anything
whatever from Mr.. WI. Mr.. WI was
plying him with his usual questions.
When the query as to the amount of
his weekly stipend was put the cor
respondent heaved up his chest,
stroked his mustache with pride and
prepared to astonish the simple celes-
tial. "One hundred and fifty dollars a
week." he exclaimed. 1T is too much, .
came quick as shot from the minis
ter's lips; ''it is altogether too much
you are not worth more than $25 a
week"
Later on, by dint of cross-examina-
ton of other newspaper men, Mr. WI
learned that his $l50-a-week visitor
had prevaricated to the extent of about
800 per week. The next time this gen
tleman called at the Chinese legation
and sent his card to the minister he
was accorded an audience, but the first
thing the minister said to him waa:
'You lied to me about your salary IL
you will lie about such a thing as that
you will lie about anything. | do not
trust you. have nothing to tell you.
l want to revise my former estimate of
your value-instead of being worth s25

FATAL WASP sTlNos.

pie.


pie.
In an article on the stings Of wasps
a British medical journal cites the fol-
lowing two cases which have come
under his notice: A strong. healthy
girl of twenty-seven was stung on the
neck by Il wasp and tainted. ON re
gaining Consciousness she complained
of a general feeling of numbness and
partial blindness and vomited; she suf-
fered severe abdominal pain. She re-
covered in the course of a few hours.
Two months later she WIS stung again,
this time on the hand. Her face be-
came flushed, she again complained Of
numbnese and blindness, suddenly be-
came very pale, tainted and died
twenty-five minutes after she was
stung.
Another case was that of girl OF
twenty-five years who was stung by
IL wasp behind the angle of the jaw.
The sting was at once extracted and
ammonia applied. In n few minutes
she complained of faintnesS and would
have fallen IL she had not been sup
ported. Her face assumed an express
sion of great anxiety and a few min
uteS later she was tossing on the bed,
complaining of a horrible feeling OF
choking and of aGonizing pain in the
chest and abdomen. Brandy gave no
relief. There was nausea, but no vom-
iting. She rapidly became insensible
and died fifteen minutes after receiy-
ing the sting. The most probable eN-
planation of such cases seems to lie in
what is known as idiosyncrasy-that
is, abnormal Sensitiveness in particu-
lar individuals to certain toxic agents.
1t is well known that drugs vary much
in action on different people. What is
safe dose for one is dangerously
large for another. The inability of
some people to eat strawberries aor
shellfish is another instance of the
same phenomena. The active agent of
bee stings is generally believed to be
formic acid. II, therefore, seems very
desirable that we should have more
accurate information regarding the
action of this drug on different species
of the lower animals and through them
on man himself

A Remarkable Career.

Prof. Pupin, of Columbia university,
who has recently gained international
reputation as the inventor of the ocean
telephone is the hero of a remarkable
career.
Few men even in America have risen
SO quickly and in the face of so many
obstacles as he. The man who has an
nounced the greatest invention since
the telephone, came to New York in
1874, almost penniless and without a
word of English. In 26 years he has
become an authority on electricity, a
professor in Columbia university and
disposes of single one of his inven-
tions for half million dollars.
OF Slavonian Descent.
Prof. Michael l. Pupin is a Slav, com
ing from the military frontier of Aus
tria. Like all young men of his coun-
try, he was sent to a military school.
He ran away in 1874 and came to this
country. The appearance of New York
struck the young Slay with terror. He
was unable to ask for a direction. and
every business seemed barred against
him. He was without a single friend.
Like most Immigrants in his posi-
tion. he went to the country and began
work on farm as day laborer With
in a month he had learned to speak
enough English to warrant his return
ing to New York. His teacher was the
daughter of the farmer who employed
him. The lessons followed the long
days work and lasted usually till past
midnight.
The next five years saw severe
