INFLUENTIAL FOREIGNERS.

Prince von Hohenlohe is credited with having made this remark about the German emperor: His greatest failing is that he does not think there are any limits to his will.''
 The sultan of Sulu is a little man, with no more striking personality than is given him by his costume. When standing he hardly comes above the elbow of the average American.
 Chekib Bey, the new Turkish minis ter to this country, has arrived, accom- panied by his mother, daughter and two sons. He is said to be keen-going sportsman and an extensive breeder of thoroughbred horses, in which he takes a great interest.
 Mime. Severine, the editor of La Fronde, the newspaper in Paris con ducted by women, is power in the French capital, and she is absolutely independent and original in her ways of thinking. She has villa in the vil- lage of Pierrefonds, whither she re- tires for a day or two when the press ure of her literary work threatens to overpower her strength.
 The new Italian ambassador, Mar quis Qbizzi Malaspina Di Barbonari, is a man who is sure to attract attention at the American capital. He has had a meteoric career and will be the youngest of the ambassadors ac- credited to this capital and one of the youngest men in the en- tire corps.

Novel rests for Conscripts.

The difficulty of classifying con scripts in the French army according. to fitness for service has been in- geniously solved by M. Pignet, a French army surgeon. His method is based on the relations of chest measurement and weight. He adds the chest measurement to the weight, and deducts the result from the height. The smaller the residuum the greater is the endurance of the subject. Thus, young man of 20 has an average chest meas urement of 80 centimeters and weighs 60 kilogrammes. The sum of these is 140. His average height is one me- ter 60 centime ters. Deducting 140 from 160 gives 20 as the classification. The number ranges from ten, very strong, to 35, very weak. An exami- nation of 500 men has fully borne out the conclusion that the higher the residuum the greater is the liability to illness, and vice versa.

He wasn't very big, says the Denver Times, but he was sturdy little chap with a face that bore the marks of much thinking and premature respon- sibility. I learned afterward that he was supporting crippled mother and an invalid sister who had been left helpless in the world by the death of her father. He might have run away from home and evaded the responsibility, but he didn't think of it. He just sold papers.

less.--Cured by
Pe-ru-na.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from
1917 West 33rd ST., Minneapolis, Mimi,
as follows:
81 suffered for years with a pain in
the small of my back and right side.
1t interfered often with my domestic
and social duties and 1 never supposed
that / would be cured, as the doctors
medicine did not seem to help me any.
Fortunately a member of our Or
der advised me to try Peruna and gave
1T such high praise that I decided to
try it. Although 1 started in with lit
tie faith, L felt so much better in
week that I felt encouraged.
81 took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed to be able to say
that 1 am entirely cured. Words fail
to express my gratitude. Perfect
health once more is the best thing I
could wish for, and thanks to Peruna
I enjoy that now."-Minnie E. Meal
lister.
The great popularity of Peruna as
catarrh remedy has tempted many
people to initiate Peruna. A great
many so-calIed catarrh remedies and
catarrhal tonics are to be found in
many drug stores. These remedies
can be procured by the druggist much
cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can
only be obtained at a uniform price,
and no druggist can get it a cent
cheaper.
Thus it is that druggists are tempt
ed to substitute the cheap limitations
of Peruna for Peruna. It is done ev-
cry day without doubt.

Tennessee Spirits.

The annual report of the Nashville
internal revenue Office, showing the
amounts of spirits placed in bonded
warehouses, amounts withdrawn,
amounts of leakage allowed, and
amounts left in warehouses at end of
the fiscal year in the Fifth district Of
Tennessee shows that both production
and consumption of spirits has shown
a decrease from last year. The
amount in bonded warehouses July l.,
1900, was 1,176,090 gallons. The
amount deposited, which means
amount legally manufactured during
the year closing June 80, last, was
Gil ,535 gallons. The amount thus de-
posted during the previous year was
759,718 gallons, showing a falling of
for the past year of S8,1S3 gallons. The
amount on which tax was paid and
spirits placed on market during the
past year was 531 ,692 gallons. The
amount thus withdrawn during the
previous year was 5S4,205 gallons,
showing decrease this year of 52,512
gallons. There was left in bonded
warehouses on June 30, last, 1,253,373
gallons, 55,877 gallons having been al
lowed for leakage. This leaves SO, 1868
gallons more in warehouses at the end
OF the last fiscal year than at the end
Of the preceding fiscal year.

A Big Crop and a Good Crop.

The railroads are now looking after
the moving of. the wheat crop of 1901
in Middle Tennessee. The crop has
been threshed and, from all reports, is
the best one, both In quality and
quantity, for years. During the past
week the Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road moved $50 carloads of it's second
division. This is far ahead of all
previous records for this season.
Threshing is not yet under good head
way at points north of South Tunnel,
and a prominent official of the road
states that he thinks 200 carloads will
be handled on the second division be-
tween Bowling Green and Nashville.
The crop is being moved at a moderate
rate on the southern division of the
Louisville & Nashville, and it is
roughly estimated that the road will
handle 400 cars between Nashville and
Columbia. A large quantity of wheat
has been shipped from Brentwood. The
rate at which grain is now being
moved is about the same as usual.
On the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis road there is a healthy demand
for grain cars, and it is roughly esti-
mated that this road has already
handled from $50 to IT'S carloads.

Heavy Phosphate Exports.

The various phosphate companies
operating at Mt. Pleasant have begun
the shipment of about $4,000 tons Of
export and domestic rock. The ocean
freight rate on phosphate has recently
been reduced about so per cent. on the
ton, and this to great extent accounts
for the heavy movement of rock. There
is now great scarcity of laborers in
the Mt Pleasant field, and the phos-
phate men are bestirring themselves
to find enough men to load rock. The
result of the effort to consolidate the
Mt. Pleasant phosphate fields has not
as yet been given to the public, though
it is generally understood that the
deals will be effected.

THE MIDDAY DINNER.
4 Habit for Which There II No Real
Good Reason, Says This
Authority.

The habit Of taking the heaviest
meal of the day at noon is so fixed
in country homes that 1t seems as
though nothing could bring about a
change. There is really no reason
for this habit. We simply do as our
fathers did before us, says the New
York Tribune. In the western part
of the United States, where the work
on ranches is very large, the men find
they cannot work in the afternoon if
they take a heavy meal at noon.
They eat a breakfast at $3.50, a lunch
con of brown bread and buttermilk
or something similar which is sent
to the field at nine o'clock, a heavier
luncheon served at the house at IL
o'clock, very similar to a supper.
The men then return to the field and
come back to eat their heaviest meal
at five o'clock. In some parts of the
country, where the heat in the field
is excessive, the men rest from noon
to three o'clock in the afternoon
after their heavy MONDAY dinner,
but return to the field at three
o'clock and work two hours later
than usual in the cool twilight.
UASy sup Luz supper hhO
sometimes take their supper later
than usual, after all work is done.
1t is very difficult for workingmen
to make any change in the hours of
their work, and even more difficult
for women in the house to arrange
meals on a new plan. This method
has, however, been tried, and has
finally proved more satisfactory than
the old way. The men lose a period
of lounging after supper, but gain a
rest period in the beginning of the
afternoon, when the work done in
the hot sun is most wearisome. The
serving of dinner, the heaviest meal,
at five o'clock breaks into a period
which is most valuable for work to
the men in the field, and probably
most of them would prefer to eat
their substantial dinner at six o'clock
rather than five, unless they stopped
working at five o'clock.
Woman's farm work, when once ac-
commodated to this plan of working
hours, would really be easier, be-
cause it would be done in the cool Of
the day, not at noon, when in sum-
mer it is a great strain on the vital
powers to cook over a hot stove.
The middle of the day is left for rest.

NOTES OF THE MODES.
Some of the Pretty Trifes That Go
to Make Up the Seasons
Costumes,

Evening gowns of batiste are the
latest. Tinsel is used as decoration,
says a fashion authority.
Very chic are the black silk shirt
waists laid in tiny tucks and stitched
with white.
Some new belts are of colored silk,
worked in floral designs and veined
with gold and silver thread.
For evening wear the white glove
is less and less in favor. Colored
gloves have completely replace them.
Kimonas of crepe in solid shades
are shown with gorgeous borders up
the fronts and on the big sleeves.
Swapping retains its hold on femi-
nine affections and suede, panne and
dyed chamois leather are pressed into
service.
A ruche of white tulle worn close
about the neck and fastened without
any pendant ends is one of the latest
spring ideas in woman's wear.
White waists of lawn, silk or crepe
de chine are effective when finished
about the neck with a square collar
like insertion of deep cream or ecru
lace or embroidery.
A long dust coat of white serge
has the seams strapped with white
silk, big ecru lace collar and long
white ribbon ends to tie into a big
bow at the neck. There is a shaped
fiounce of the serge.
Combinatio of materials that arc
used nowadays are astounding. Bril-
liantly colored foulards are trimmed
with stitched bands of tan or gray
cashmere, taffeta gowns are strapped
or appliqued with fOulard.
