no one more than her physician

they build no false hopes upon
these fading signs of what has
been one of the strongest con-
stitutions with which q woman
was ever endowed.
Despite tha favorable after

The Windsor Dwelling Rooms.

It is q popular error to suppose that
the dwelling rooms at Windsor are
very sumptuous. The private apart
ments are scarcely worthy OF an Or
binary country gentleman's seat.
Queen Elizabeth is responsible for a
great number of them, and they were
built rather hurriedly by her orders.
She had taken refuge at Windsor from
the plague which was raging in Lon
don, and her maids of honor and at
tendants revolted at the uncomfort-
able condition of their rooms, which
were low. dark and cold. The Queen
herself was furious because her dinner
was invariably served up stone cold,
but being of an inquiring mind she
discovered that the kitchen was nearly
half a mile from the dining room, and
straightway built the present kitchen,
which is very large and commodious.
Elizabeth built the Oetagon library,
which she is still said to haunt, and
where she was frequently seen, it Is
said, last year.-London Chronicle.

The battle of Stillman's Run was the

and was sealed with the lives of II
white men. The whole State Of ILL

thousands volunteered for active SER

Decline of American Whaling,

In the last half century the Ameri-
can whaling industry has declined tre-
mendously. In 1S46 there were en-
ployed in the American whale fishery
$50 barks and ships, thirty four brigs
and twenty-five schoonerS, with a total
tonnage Of 233,262. Today In this ia
dustrV there are only twenty-seven
ships and barks and thirteen schoon-
ers, with a total tonnage of only 8,746.
The greatest tonnage sails from the
port Of New Bedford, Mass. being
nearly half the entire whaling tom
mage of America today. Close behind
comes San Francisco, while the only
other whaling ports are Boston and
Provincetown, with only eight sch Don
ers between them. New London, Conn,
had a brig in the business. the Rosa
Baker, but last year she was wrecked
at Port Stanley, Falkland Islands. The
reduction in American tonnage con-
tinues, that for last year being 1925
tons. All the idle vessels that had re-
manned in port for two years or more
were sold.

the only one that the : department
seems to think worthy of any great
attention is that of coating the eggs
with water glass. Waterglass is the
popular name for potassium or sodium
silicate. 1t is a thick syrup, in the
form for which it is sold for CONNER
c1al uses. 1t is sold wholesale for as
little as / ga cents a pounddn carboy
lots. One part of the Sup is dis
solved in 10 parts of water. The eggs
are coated with this solution. There
is also a water glass powder soluble in
water. One gallon of the solution is
sufficient for so dozen eggs if they are
properly packed.
The statement so frequently made by
housekeepers that eggs at rs cents a
dozen are cheaper than meat is truein
one sense. Not, Of course, with Eef-
erence to the total amount of nutri-
ments obtained for the money eXpend-
ed. but because a smaller amount Of
money Is needed to furnish the meal.
That is to say, whereas at least ] IA
pounds Of beefsteak. costing Is cents,
at 20 cents a pound, would be neces-
sary to serve FIVE adults, in many fam
HES five eggs, costing 10 cents, at Is
cents a dozen, would serve the same
number and probably satisfy them
equally we'll. If the appettbes Of the
family are such as to demand two eggs
per person, doubling the cost, it is
still 20 percent less than the steak.
Many persons eat more than two eggs
at a meal, but the average number per
person, it is believed, does not gen.
orally exceed two in most families.
A hotel chef is authority for the state
ment that at least one-half the or
ders he receives are for one egg. FIRE.
quently when omelets, souf1es,
creamed eggs and other similar dishes
are served in place of fried, poached
or boiled eggs or meat less than one
egg per person is used.
Is is suggested that the most needed
reform in the egg business is that the
eggs should be sold by weight and not
by number. Eggs vary SO much in
size that the numerical terms of sale
often are unjust to either the merchant
or to the consumer.

Learning to Take People at Their Bes1

Learning to Take People at Their Best.
One of the greatest lessons in life
is to learn to take people at their best.
not their worst; to look for the divine,
not the human, in them; the beautiful,
not the ugly; the bright, not the dark;
the straight, not the crooked side.
A habit Of looking for the best In
everybody, and of saying kindly in
stead of unkindly things about them,
strengthens the character. elevates the
ideals, and tends to produce happiness.
It also helps to create friends. We
like to be with those who see the d.
vine side of US, who see Jul possibili-
ties, who do not dwell upon the dark
side of our life, but upon the bright
side. This is the Office of a true friend.
to help us discover our noblest selves.

Mahommedan gentleAan was talking

Mahommedan: Now that the queen
Is dead, will you EngIishmen take of

tainiy this would be done and asked
why he made the inquiry, he said:
srWe thought you used to take off your
hats to ladies because a lady was the

RUSSIA as AN ExPANsIoNIsT.
Her Development Has Been Going On
for Carturiez.

for Centuries.
The empire sf Russia has an area
Of s~,644,1oe A-are miles, or about two
and one-half times the size Of the
United States. This immense stretch
Of territory across two continents, con-
trolled by the car, is not Of sudden
acquisition. Russia began her policy
Of expansion about the time Columbus
s.. sail to discover America. The
Russians were looking beyond the
Ural mountains, and when Raleigh
was planting colonies on this CONT
nent the Russians were making their
first permanent settlement in Siberia.
Russia had acquired all Siberia and
had a permanent colony on the Pacific
in the middle Of the seventeenth CEN
fury, and had crosby the BehTiRg
straits to establish hei\slf in Alaska
before our colonies had united as a
nation. The landing east Of the Ural
mountains was occupied in 1855, the
territory stretching from the Caspian
sea north to the Arctic ocean, i1elud-
ing the Yenisei valley, was annexed in
1890; the northeastern section Of ST.
IBERIA, east Of the Lena river, IN 1880,
and the Amur district in 1855. Rus
sia's expansion 10 therefore the Oldest
that still stands on the map Of the
countries as they exist today. Russian
expansion has been like that Of the
United States. She has annexed prac-
ticalIy unoccupied territory for deVel-

gantic strides in that development.
