Constant wearers of eyeglasses,
;pectacles, etc, are much annoyed by
the dmming of the glasses upon en-
tering a warm room from a cooler
place. 1t will greatly interest them
to know that this evil can he obvi-
ated by rubbing the glasses with soft
soap. All that is necessary is to rub
every morning or before going out a
little so-called green soap (washing
soap, potash soap) over the whole sur
face of the glass, polishing it until it
is bright again. The preparations,
"Gasolin" and "0culustra," offered for
the sarle purpose at high prices, are
nothing else than pure potash soap

she boarded up the greater part OF
it while her husband was waiting to
step into the shoes of the ancient
Hohenlohe.
This winter her grace promises to
show Berlin what rich and clever
woman can do in the position she
holds. Under Bulow's predecessor the
grand old palace on Wilhelm strasse
had ceased to be a resort of fashion
and gayety. Nine. Bismarck was
plebeian and parsimonious, Caprivi
happened to be bachelor with the
taste of a sublieutenant, old Princess
Hohenlohe entertained in her own cas-
Ties and country seats, but never in
shop-keeping city, as she used to put
it, and after her death the chancellor's
stateroom was opened only on very
rare occasions for a mixed crowd OF
parliamentarians and other political
pot boilers with scarcely sprinklng
of persons that belonged to high life.
1t will be all so different now. Count
Bulow has twice the salary and per-
haps five times the private income that
Prince Bismarck enjoyed; he is youth
compared with Hohenlohe, and his wife
as much of a grand dame as the late
princess, and as his conception of Of
fee holding is to do the imperial mas

without offering either advice or opin-

so has plenty of time for society.

married Count Doenhoff, diplomat
of some note. At Dresden the princess
first met her present husband, then a
simple baron, attached to Count Dozen

lowed and she took up her residence at
the Italian embassy in Vienna, over
which her stepfather then presided. 1t
was but a short time afterward that
her husband died and she married

OUR SWEAT SYSTEM.
Auywhercf from Two to Twenty-Eight
Miles of Sweat Glands ON
the Human Body.

1t may be interesting to know tina,
one perspires more on the right side
of the body than on the left, and that
the skin of the palm of the hand ex-
cretes four and a half times as much
proportionately to the surface as the
skin of the back. The pores in the
ridges of the palm number as many as
5000 to the square inch. They are
scarcest on the back, where there are
only 400 to the square inch. These
pores are not simple holes or perfora-
tions in the hide, as some imagine, but
are little pockets lined with the same
epithclium or pavement stuff that COW
ers the exterior of the body. They run
straight down into the deepest struc-
ture of the skin, and there they kink up
and coil around till they look like a
fishing line that has been thrown down
wet. Inclosed in this knot are little
veins that leak the perspiration
through the walls of the tube, and it
wells up to the surface of the skin. 1t
is estimated that the averagesized man
has 100000 of these sweat glands, ag-
gregating 20 miles of tubing. Think of
it. Twenty-eight miles if all those tiny
tubes could be Strengthened out and
put end to end! These figures, won
derful though they may seem, are on
the very best medical authority. They
are the figures of men who have given
their lives to the study of this subject.
But still, if they seem too large to you,
there is just as good medical authority
for the statement that there are 2,400,-
900 sweat glands on the human body
each one-fifteenth of an inch long, and
that their aggregate length is two
miles and a half! Think of it! Two
miles and half! If yon object to that
too, l have the very best authority for
the statement that they are one-quar'
ter of an inch long and aggregate more
than nine miles, or 1 can figure it for
you at seven miles or IL miles. Take
your pick. Our motto Isl I'VE aim
to please" If one figure suits you more
than another, it's yours. We can sub
stantiate it by the very best medical

Now she OWLS big cattle ranch and
runs it herself.
Miss Farmer was adopted by rich
ranch owner, who was killed by be-
ing thrown from bronco. The ranch
was offered for sale, and she bought
it, including 700 head of cows, with
money given her by her benefactor
during the five years she was with
him.
In the course of the next four years
her herds increased until it was diff
cult for her to find pasturage in Tex
as, and she was forced to send agents
to old Mexico to rent and buy grazing
lands. In order to befriend her for
mer pupils, who were deep in distress,
she bought the famous Broad AK
brand and the ranch.

tinkled an air that have often heard

had ears for it, so absorbed was the
sense of sight.
Her long lashes swept her cheeks as
she bent forward in the freight, her
vivid coloring subdued by the soft

New York, Sept. 2S--John Jacob As
tors magnificent steam yacht Nourmahal
was badly damaged and strained by be-
ing in collision this afternoon with the
North Star, the latest addition to the
fleet of the Maine Steamship Company.
The latter vessel had four of her plates
stove in and about dozen feet of rail
ing carried away.
Although there were about three hun
dred excursionists aboard her, at the
time, there was no excitement to speak
of but aboard the Nourmahal, which got
tangled up with the steamship for several
minutes, the greatest confusion prevailed
This was due to the fact that the yacht
was dragged along for some distance by
the Roadway Of the liner and during that
interval her deck was awash
When the yacht finally freed herself
she rolled heavily and it seemed tina,
she was going to founder. She righted
herself, however. and when it was ascer-
tanned that there was no great damage
below the water line, she proceeded on
her way to her anchorage The North
Star stood by the injured yacht until the
danger was over AMI then went on hel
way to her dock.
