If you see the lean twentieth century
girl slyly lift something from her vest
pocket and shoot 1t into her mouth you
may be sure it Is an alfalfa tablet The
matinee girl will also be seen MUNICH
ing alfalfa bonbons. Scrawny and at
tenuated humanity will drink fluid ex-
tract of alfalfa seeds. It all came
about through a discovery made by
modest country doctor in Kansas, the
State that has contributed SO much to
the science Of fattening live stock. This
doctor who accidentally discovered the
fat-making potency Of alfalfa, was for
merly fish commissioner Of Kansas, and
interesting reports from foreign coun-
tries on fish culture and kindred sub
jects. In one Of these reports he read
of the wonderful fattening properties
of a seed discovered in Asia Minor
which had been successfully utilized by
the Sultan of Turkey when plumpness
was the vogue in the Turkish harem,
Living in State famed for it's fat stock
exhibits, the doctors curiosity was
| aroused and he sent for some Of the
seed of the Asiatic plant, and learned
that 1t was nothing more than the seed
Of alfalfa grass. But the Kansas scien-
tist did not stop with this discovery
He reasoned that If alfalfa could fill a
Turkish harem with joyous rotundity 1t
could be utilized to fill up the lean
places Of modern femininity with
healthy adipose. He knew that the
lank and willowy twentieth century
girl would not look well going around
chewing alfalfa grass. Neither would
she fancy alfalfa porridge for steady
diet Accordingly he finally succeeded
in making palatable extract of alfalfa
seeds, as pleasant to the taste as syrup
| of squills. He began trying this ex-
tract on the population Of Kansas sew
eral weeks ago. He himself took three
| tablespoonfuls of the extract every day.
The results are astonishing. The first
effect was a sudden influx Of tailors to
supply the demand for new clothes. In
the course Of two weeks time persons
who had received sample bottles Of the
extract were unable to get into their
clothes. A brisk demand for heavy
| furniture Is also noted. There is no
| telling where the alfalfa craze will end
| If it once breaks out of Kansas, for the
twentieth century girl is certainly go
ing to be plump girl. Instead of the
"Gibson grip we shall soon hear of the
alfalfa girl" And the beauty Of it Is,
the Kansas scientist refuses to patent
| his elixir Of alfalfa. He offers it to
lean and angular humanity free aid
| without price.

Telephones in Russia.

The growth of the telephone system
in Russia Is now considerable, although
it has been slow as compared with 9th
er countries. According to some recent
statistics there were in Russia an ag-
gregate of some thirty-five thousand
miles Of telephone wires, about half OF
which is state and half private con-
Germs. The use of the telephone and
the number of subscribers are, how
ever, rapidly increasing, and some I'M
portant lines between some of the
larger cities are under contemplation
or already completed. In the Baltic
provinces there are some large tele-
phone systems, but they do not appear
to be altogether satisfactorily con-
structed, inasmuch as the different
lines, which are frequently Of consid-
cradle length, have no connection with
each other. This is attributable main
ly to government restrictions where
state telephones already exist.

Bx-President Cleveland is famous for
utterance ON the subject Of hazing Is
not less true now than it was when Mr..
Cleveland gave it: "The offense Of
maltreating and abusing new cadets
by upper-class men is so mean and cow
ardly, and so opposed to every trait
that should characterize gentleman
and a true soldier, that severe punish
ment should not be necessary to its
prevention" 1t is to be hoped that the
effect Of the anti-hazing agitation will
not stop with West Point and Annap-
oils. There are a great many private
schools where the practice obtains with
equal abomination.

A Txpicai Instance.

The president of the Chamber OF
Commerce of Pittsburg is authority for
the statement that in the neighborhood
Of Pittsburg mills, factories and
workshops of every kind have had q
phenomenal period of prosperity, ac-
companied by the usual reward for
those who earn" during the year 1900.
Pittsburg has always been center OF
industrial activity and has always been
among the first to feel the depression
which a departure from our system OF
protection has always produced, and
has always been one Of the principal
benefciaries from the prosperity which
omic sanity. While the tremendous
grow h of our industrial interests un-
der the fostering care of our protective
system has made other cities and local
tiles quite as important centers of in
dustry as is Pittsburg, yet that city is
still quite as much barometer Of in
dustrial conditions as formerly, and the
prosperity which Is to be found there
to-day is merely typical Of the prosper
ity which the Dingley tariff law has
brought to all sections Of the country.
European and American Trusts.
During the Presidential campaign
Democrats said that trusts could not
thrive in low tariff or free trade coun-
tries, and that there were no trusts in
the United Kingdom. The United
States government, through It's consuls,
has since made an impartial investiga-
ton Of the facts, and the results are
embodied in pamphlet, a synopsis Of
whose contents is given by the New
York Tribune. The reports show that
the name trust appears to be little
used in Europe, but that the thing itself
fiourishes, and that in the United King
dom trusts flourish as nowhere else.
There is just one radical difference be
tween European and American trusts.
This Is found in the capitalization,
which in Europe is kept at the lowest
possible figure, while here it is too often
swelled to the highest. But in other
respects the same law of combination
operates in all parts Of the industrial
world. It seems to be as general as
the development of combinations of Ia
Dor generation ago or less, and as

time putting no barriers In the way OF
the expanding export trade OF the
country. In round numbers the export
trade of the United States increased
more than 500, 1000, 600 worth during
the year 1900. During last year we
sent abroad commodities of all kinds
to the total value of approximately q
billion and a half dollars. In respect
to the admission of imported goods
free Of duty the imports decreased In
stead Of increasing under the opera
lions OF the Dingley law. We imported
Of all classes of goods free OF duty

protective tariff act Is so arranged az

Make books your friends. They will
repay you, never desert you, never let
boredom come near you. The happy
men Of the world have been made hap

says that collection of books is real

thinking and writing while Caesar was
fighting, said that room without

That wise owl was Cicero. Do not be

Darwin advised Sir John Lubbock to

asked to map out a course of reading.
But that advice is not sound for us all.
Learn which are the good books. Read
them, give your mind chance to form
its own opinion as to the best writer's,
and then take up some special course.

Let whoever fancies that the strenu-
Gus life is product Of Occidental re
publics study the career Of the Ameer
of Afghanistan. At Is he resigned an
important post because his father
would not let him govern according to
his own ideas. When youthful exile,
he refused to bow before foreign poten-
tates, making them rather consider IL
an honor to take his hand and sit by his
side. Surrounded by hostile army of
5000 soldiers, he mingled disguised
among the crowd, caught the leader by
the throat, and from that vantage COM
PEELED him to make peace. Through the
rigors of winter campaigns, sitting all
night in the snow or dragging himself
through the drifts by his horses tail,
captured by the Russians, deserted by
his followers, Abdurrahman's courage
and faith in his destiny never failed.
In 1880 the English established him on
the throne Of his fathers, and he
plunged into single-hearted work for
the improvement Of his country. Euro
pean reforms, public education, scien-
tif1c and mechanical inventions and a
straightforward political policy charac-
terized the Ameer's dealings with the
outside world. Lying, as his country
does, between aggressive Russia and
India with it's English forward move
ment," Afghanistan must be regarded
as one Of the strategic points Of mod
ern civilization, and the Ameer as no
impotent factor in the bewildering
Asiatic problem.

Shortly after Mrs. McCloud died, and
the children found homes among

American merchandise because she

She buys our cotton, corn, lard, copper
and kerosene because she can get them
here of better quality and at lower
price than elsewhere. If she declares
tariff war on us she cuts off a small
fraction of our trade, but she also heay-
lily increases the cost of the essential
raw materials of her manufacturers
and the food and light of her work peo-
