Albert Edward comes to the throne
of England at an age when most men
consider their active lifework practic
ally over He faces a task calling for
every energy of brain and body and
freighted with the gravest Responsible
ties. AS an offset to this, he Is stout of
frame, rugged of constitution, and gem
orally in robust health. He Is idoljzed
by the English, fact that is accounted
for by his democratic habit of making
every man he meets his friend. His
princely bearing has been agreeably
shaded with courtesy to his interiors in
rank, and he has been active in his SIM
port of deserving public charities In
entering upon his reign he has the good
will of every Subject-a condition that
lessons the difficulty of his position.
One of the penalties of royalty Is the
obliteration of private feeling. The
state demands of the new king the ner-
Torrance of certain public ceremonies
with which his personal bereavement
must not be permitted to interfere His
mourning for his mother must be oh
| served in secret Before his subjects
he must bear himself with cheerfulness
and dignity. 1t is a situation identical
with that of the favorite actor, who
must strut and grimace for his public,
even though his heart be breaking. In
his youth this king was a rollicking
devil-may-care prince. He had the fol-
lies of youth and outgrew them. By
his acts as Edward VII. will be dis
covered the exact strength and quality
of his manhood.

seeking a more perfect amity between
the countries; entered Congress In
1893, becoming one of the ablest men in
that body; was Secretary of State and
of War and in 1901 became Chief JUS
tice, holding the position until his death
in 1885.
Chief Justice Marshall maintained a
commanding position in the Supreme
Court The most important decisions,
especially those on international law,
were pronounced by him. His decis-
ions are to-day regarded the standard
authority on Constitutional questions,
and in the words of biographer have
impaired life and vigor not only to
the Constitution, but to the body polit-
ic." He is regarded as one Of the
worlds most eminent jurists.
The centennial of Marshalls installa-
ton was observed not only at Rich
mond but at the national capital, where,
under the direction of the Supreme
Court, with the cooperation of Con.
gress, commemorative exercises were
held. The day was also observed in
American colleges, law schools and
public schools.

New Jersey Fossils.

In the blue shales of a valley a few
miles from Montclair, N. j., are found
fossil fish of kind which is almost
extinct, only three specimens now sur
viving. They belong to the order of
ganoids, which possessed no interior
bony skeleton, but only an outside COW
ering of bony or cartilaginous plates.
They were the earliest known verte-
brates. A number of excellent speci-
mems show distinctly the shining, bony
scales of this peculiar species of fish,
which, according to biologists, must
have existed ages ago.

Of the stogie. They carried them in
their long 'stogie' topped boots to pre-
vent breaking them, thus giving them
the name of stogies.
When Miffiin Marsh entered the stogie
business, he was able to supply the
trade by his own work. At the time of
his death his factories, employing sew
eral hundred expert rollers, aud a
dozen other plants just as we'll supplied,
were catering to the demand for
Wheeling stogles. Marsh assisted ma
terially in the recent litigation In the
United States Court in Boston, which
resulted in the handing down of a de-
cision protecting the name wheeling
stogies." That decision has been the
means of increasing the local trade, in
which he amassed a fortune.

FOUNTAIN CLEANER AND MOP.

water all combined in one convenient
utensil The apparatus consists of a
tube to contain the water, with an
elongated slot in one face, through
which a wick or piece of heavy cloth
is forced. The strips of rubber form
ing the mop are inserted between two
metal strips secured to the outside of
the reservoir and the latter is provided
at one end with a screw cap, through
which the water is poured into the in
terror. To use the cleaner it is first
filed with water and tilted downward
until the wick is saturated, when the
latter is placed against the window
pane and scrubbed up and down until
the dirt is removed. Then the mop
side is applied to drain the water off.

BY the death of Miffiin Marsh, the vet

unique figures in the history of the
city. He gave to Wheelin, the i'm
petus that placed its name hi;h in the

centers. Shortly after Marsh came to
Wheeling he entered the cigar manu-
featuring trade.
In 1856 he was impressed with the
need of a cheaper smoke than was then
on the market The 5-cent cigar was
the lowest-priced article made then in
this country. Marsh invented and
manufactured a smoke, rolling it into
the long, familiar shapes now assumed
by all species of the stogie family.

Rural free delivery is an addition to
the postal facilities of the country that
has come to stay. When an appropri-
alton of 100000 was asked for to in
augurate the experiment, Mr.. Loud,
chairman of the House committee on
postoffices and post roads, objected; but
when 1t was proposed to appropriate
$3,5O0O00 to go on with the business
the chairman of the committee had
nothing to say. Mr.. Sperry of Connec-
tieut, member of the committee, had
much to do with getting the matter
started. He was for many years post
master at New Haven, and his pract-
cal ideas with reference TO the conduct
of the business of the Postoffice De
partment have been Of much service.
Mr.. Sperry gives it as his opinion that
1t would be useless now to try to pre-
vent the spread Of rural free delivery,
in which opinion, doubtless. the other
members of the committee, and the
department itself, agree. Rural free
delivery has commended itself to the
people Of the farms, and since they
like it Congress would not presume
to withdraw or do much hanging back.
The wonder is that free rural delivery
was not undertaken before, but now
that it has proved of such utility and
popularity, the whole country is reach
ing out its hand. and expansion of the
system must go on until there are no
more townships to conquer.

BLIND BARBER IN MICHIGAN.
Sharpness In Hearing Makes Up for
His Lack of Vision.

His Lack of Vision.
In Detroit. Mich, there is barber
who is stone blind, yet does a thriving
business IN spite of his inability to see.
Edward Max, proprietor of the Cadil-
lac barber shop, during his blindness,
which lasted for seven years, has man.
aged his business entirely by touch and
hearing.
One would think that even customers
OF longest standing would hesitate be-
fore going to man who could not see,
but Mr., Max has not only not lost any
of his old customers, but has added
many new ones to his trade since he
lost his sight.
Mr.. Max is a young-looking, pleas
ant-faced man, who carries out his ap-
pearance in his disposition. He was
quite ready to describe the way in
which he carries on his business in
spite of his great handicap.
Il can tell whereabouts in the shop
my men are and what they are doing,
just as easily as though l were look
ing at them ALL" he said, good-natured-
ly. Il know them all by their step, and
when they move l can tell where they
go. Every man, as you know, has an
individual walk, Just as he has an in.
dividual temperament, and as the differ
ent BARRIERS in my shop walk about the
marble floor l know whether it is Jim
my, who is nervous, or George, who is
slow and very careful 1t is, of course
easy to tell whether a mans hair or
beard is being cut, the ring of the
shears being very different in each
case.
Il can tell when a man is being
shaved by the scrape of the razor, and
sometimes l know whether the beard is
stiff or soft one.
when man is having an egg sham
poo hear the egg shell cracked and
the egg beaten and hear the customer
go to the fountain afterward to wash
his head.
This may seem a little farfetched,
but everything done in a barber shop
has some very characteristic sound,
and If you had been in the hair-cutting
business as long as | have you would
recognize these movements and sounds
as | do.
81 can tell just about what the DAYS
business has been and what we ought
to have made. My daughter is the
