Business Philosophy.

Baron Munchausen was the
first travelling man; and my drum
mers' expense accounts still show
his influence.
Adam invented all the different
ways in which young man can
make a fool Of himself, and the
college yell at the end of them is
just a frill that doesn't change
essentials.
Its the fellow who thinks and
acts for himself; and sells short
when prices hit the high G and
the house is Standing on it's hind
legs yelling for more, that sits in
the directors meetings when he
gets on toward forty.
If you gave some fellows a tai
ent wrapped in a napkin 10 start
with in business, they would swap
the talent tor good brick and
lose the napkin: and there are
others that you could start out
with just napkin who would set
up with it in the dry. goods bust
ness in small way and then coax
lie Other ie lows talent into it.

rhe sIownes. Of Starvation.

During Il prolonged fast the loss Of
weight IL unusually rapid at first and
decreases as the time goes ON. Death
ensues when certain percentage Of
the loss has been reached, and this per-
centage varies according 10 the orlgl-
nal weight. Fat animals may lose half
their weight, thinner ones perhaps two
iifths. A man or woman of rather
spare build weighing 1I3 pounds
might, therefore, lose about 90 pounds
before succumblng. Children die after
a fast OF from three TO ilye days, dur
ing which they have lost quarter Of
their weight. Healthy adults, however,
have tasted 80 days when water has
been taken. A German physician re-
ports the case of n woman aged AZ

Editorial

Has Salem q celebrity? II not, why
notP The town is hardly big enough to
enjoy such a luxury. Still smaller tewns
have celebrities. The ability TO see or
know celebretyds probably more inn
portant than the possession Of one, for
many community might have a cele-
brity and never become aware Of the
fact. For the celebrity may exist and
not like the flea, compel you 10 become
aware Of his or her presence. So small
a place could not we'll have many celeb
ritiesand so we may have no list to
pick from and must seek out the only
celebrity there Is for the time being.
The editor Of this paper would like TO
have tip II we have a celebrity and
have not made the discovery A village
we once knew had celebrity in the
person OF landlord who was probably
the most profene keeper Of hotel that
lived In many states, yet there was
something 30 amusing about his lurid
displays OF cuss- words that even good
people travelled far to put up at his
hotel In the hope Of having the pleasure
OF bearing him damn some ono or
something, as his steram flowed at un'
expected moments anj in the most sur
prisingly impromptu manner. An
other hotel-keeper we knew was cell
ebrity in the Mississippi valley where
he kept house at railroad junction
on the uninhAbited river bottom and
served meals TO people on trains and
who had 10 stop over night. This man
had very plain kind Of hotel and
his bin OF fare was just plain ordinary
kind OF cookery, but he had one hobby
that made his place celebrated with the
travelling public far and near. He had
an abundance Of rich ailk ON the table
at all times and just all tho pure sweet
cream that anyone waited. His hob
by was 20 keep herd Of Jersey COWS
on his nearby ranch and by the best OF
feed and keep and personal attention
he gave his guests oodles of the finest
milk and cream that brought him trade
from all directions aud instead Of blue
eyed watery compositions found in so
many .hotelsin the east he had all the
cream anyone wished 10 use for coffee
and mush and fruit, and II one wanted a

Prince Of Wales, are now wrestling for
positions at the coronation and crowding
the titled lords and ladies not little
bit for important positions about the
Kings person. One Of the Nay.up jobs
connected with that royal event includes
the washing of His Most Christian
Majesty's countenance. 1t would never
do for Edward TO enter the duties of
majesty with a smudge on his face.
Whilehe is rinsing the royal habilments,
some one must hold the basin and some
one must band him a towel. The
splendor Of the event would forbid him
setting the basin in the sink and &C ub-
bing under the faucet. AT last accounts

a mere prospective monarch and IL is
said he does not readily forget the
friends Of his younger days, and so the
American woman is slated to hold the
bowl or the towel while the daughter
Of hundred earls will hold the sack.
Still the English woman is very stubborn
and il may be possible that the affair
will not be pulled off without hitch.

ladies' get bowl with two handles and
hold It between them, and that the bowl

purveyors to majesty on this occasion

gown thrown in. The latter is an affair

GAY AND FLUFFY BoDIcEs.
Designed for Wear with the winter
Wreckage of Pretty Ward
robes.

Odd evening waists, elbow-sIeeyed
md open in the throat, are to be
fabricated at minimum cost from
bargain counter trophies. Such
waists are designed for spring and
summer wear with pretty net, silk
and white wool grenadine skirts that
have been saved from the winter
wreckage of pretty wardrobes, or are
themselves evolved from marked-down
ends of dress patterns. But what
ever the skirt may be, the waist,
with which it is worn, stands on it's
own merits and should be the gayest
and most elaborate half of the CO.'S
tune. In other words, the skirt is
mere support and background for
its bright, gay, fluffy loneliness, and
three such waists that were con-
structed from pretty reduced odds
and ends are given to show what
charming forms these ingratiating
little garments take, says the WASH
ington Star.
The first one is wrought from a
remnant of imitation Irish point lace
of deep tea tint allied with sky
blue accordion-plaited chiffon. The
boned body, on which the lace and
chiffon are draped, is of blue silk, but
the sleeves are transparent, with q
vine of the stout lace covering the
seam at the back of the arm. With
such body a cream white grena-
dine skirt is the proper accompani-
ment, and this inexpensive toilet is
meant for service at small dinners
and informal dances. The second
waist was built of pink silk muslin,
white imitation Louis point lace and
black velvet ribbon, for a tall and
rather attenuated debutante who
wished to use it with a black satin
skirt. How we'll the dressmaker sue
ceeded in creating diaphanous fullness
where angels required concealment
only an acutely slender woman can APP
preciate.
A cream-colored bolero of coarse
net, brilliantly and profusely jeweled
and spangled and rescued from a bar
gain counter, was the foundation and
inspiration of the third bodice. BY
dropping the bolero over an old maize
colored taffeta ball gown body, adding
a puff and bow of chiffon, a bit of broad
betting ribbon and a garland of lit
tie roses. very charming garment was
contrived for almost nothing at ALL
With view to encouraging this man
ufacture of odd evening waists the pro-
prietors of the dry goods shops are
showing the most enticing little tailed
and short-backed coats of coarse
string and tea-colored net, on which
flowers of white or colored silk are ap-
piled with gilt or silver thread To put
these coats into practical wearing the
purchaser need only rip the wilted
trimmings from any old evening bodice
and draw over the boned skin of silk

dition to the net coats there are equal
ly pretty ones of tucked liberty and

URGES CORN KITCHENS.
Consul Harris Advocates Their Els.
tablishment I'm Germany to
Overcome Prejudice

Consul Harris, at Mannheim, re-
ports to the state department that
something like the corn kitchen at the
Paris exposition will be necessary to
induce the Germans to accept Indian
corn as proper food. The consul
says: "The average German is GER
tainly prejudiced against corn as an
article OF food, except for cattle and
swine, but that this prejudice can be
overcome there is little doubt. He has
no hesitancy in using cornstarch, nor
does he object to beet sugar, although
beets form an important article of
food for cows; and if he can be shown
that corn, properly ground and pre-
pared, makes palatab wholesome
and cheap article of food his opposi-
ton will, in my judgment, disappear"
