A large staff of women is employed at the vatican for the sole purpose ot keeping the pope's. wardrobe in per: feet condition. No spot or stain may disfgure the garments worn by his holiness, and, as he always appears in white, even few hours wear deprives the robes of their freshness.

NEW FArrENING FAD.
In Curing Nervous DysDeDsia
oaa Makes Flesh.

A lady who was recently so ill of
nervous dyspepsia as to be in bed, and
SO thin that she gave up all hope of
ever getting fat, secured a new doc
tor who used her for an experiment in
diet. He placed her upon strict
regimen OF bananas, nothing else, says
the New York Herald.
The result was marvellous. She grew
to really like them, when prepared
by baking and served with sugar and
cream, or cold, in the form of delicate
jelly. She also had banana fritters and
biscuit made of banana -four. Daily
she grew more plump and rosy, and
now she is we'll, and expects to stay.
Bananas contain starch in it's most
easily assimilated form. Homeopathic
doctors have for some years called this
tropical fruit unwholesome, but it is
only indigestible when unripe. As
most bananas arrive here and are
eaten in q green state, cooking is nec-
essary to develop their valuable nutri-
tive qualities.
The delicious large red banana from
Cuba is the most acceptable one, but
now very scarce. The cheapness of this
cure is one of its charms, for almost all
treatment for weak nerves and poor
nutrition is very expensive. The hap
py woman who tried the fad is telling
all her thin friends about it and assur-
ing them that it really is great.

TEXAS SANITARY METHODS.
n0x1OonD offered Armed Resistance
But the Rangers HelpeA En-.
force Regulation. y

Last year, says the writer Of an
article on 'The Texas Rangers" in
Frank Lesie's Popular Monthly, there
was an outbreak Of smallpox in the
Mexican quarter of Laredo, and the
inhabitants would neither be vac
cinated nor would they permit the
smallpox patients among them to be
removed to the hospital. Capt. Rogers
and seven rangers were ordered to the
scene to enforce the sanitary regula-
tions. The Mexicans organised and
armed themselve9Fto resist. A soon
a. the troop arrived in the town Capt.
Rogers. with one man, went to the
street in which q smallpox patient
was located. AZ he was walking up
the street he was shot from cover by
, Mexican, who was promptly killed
by the private who accompanied the
captain. The sound Of firing brought
the remaining rangers to the scene,
and they advanced up the street, firing
a. they went. Hundreds of armed
Mexicans had gathered in the street
to kill of the hated Americans, but the
back-door exodus that accompanied
the advance of the rangers would have
ludicrous, except for the accompany
ing spectacle of the wounded Mexi-
cans. . half-dozen of whom were left
in the street after the rangers had
passed. The omcial report of the affair
naively concludes: "After this the
removal of smallpox patients was IN
easy matter"

THEIR BUSY YEAR.
Business Colleges Of the City See 4
Prosperous Year Ahead.
DEMAND FOR GRADUATES LARGE
Unusual Interest Has Been Awakened
Among the Youth Of Country
Districts.

Sons and daughters of farmers, ir
larger numbers than usual, are coming
to Minneapolis this fall to take courses
in the city's business colleges. If pres.
ent indications count for anything, the
general prosperity Of the country hat
turned the minds of farmers toward the
necessities Of practical education fol
their children. The farmers feel that
with any kind Of a show they can make
things go on the farm, but they are
learning more and more that careful &C.
counting means economy and they want
their boys and girls to do this account
ing whether on the farm or in business
This feeling has led to an unusually
large correspondence with principals Of
local business schools. The principals
say their correspondence has Increased
from 25 to SO per cent over that of last
fall and contains numerous inquiries
frem the country. The schools Of the
city have good reputation and have
presented their claims upon the youth
Of the country districts by careful ad-
vertising.
The business Office of one OF these in
stitutions has corresponded this fall with
those who made inquiries last year, but
for good reasons did not follow up the
matter. The result has been surprising.
The Office has been overwhelmed with
letters and will be hard pushed until
the opening of the term in September
to answer all Of it's inquirers.

The business men Of the city are in
terested in the matter as we'll as the

Although the farmers boys do not be-
gin to come in until the middle Of Octo-
Der or the first Of November there are
so many others who wish to prepare for
Office positions that the schools will be
busy from the opening day. These
students are the ones for whom the en-
ployers Of Office help are eagerly wait
ing. Never in twenty years has the
business been so swamped with orders
for stenographers and Office clerks. One
college received seven telephone calls

A FLORAL WONDER.
0AA KaoWA - the 1DAasto
D0l0Y.s :.

The newest floral wonder IL the
SHASTA Daisy" originated by flower
grower of California. 1t measures a
foot in circumference, and when one
was exhibited recently in a florist 3
window in San Francisco, people lit
orally focked to see it, says the Phila-
delphia Saturday Evening Post.
1t is really a new kind Of flower,
and has been produced by several
years of crossing and selection, three
different kinds of daisies being used
the common American species, the
larger and coarser European sort and
the japanese daisy.
There are three rows of petals of
the purest white, and each blossom is
upheld by single strong and wIy
stem which is nearly two feet long.
One advantage of the Shasta daisy
IL said to be that it is exceedingly
hardy, enduring much cold, so that it
can be grown 0ut-of-doors. It is
claimed that it prospers in almost any
kind of soil, blooms all summer long
Tin California nearly all the year
round) and may be rapidly multiplied
by dividing the roots.
A popularity of this new and beauti-
full blossom 10 that it sometimes shows
colors, indicating that daisies of vari-
Gus hues and of gigantic size may be
placed on the market before long.

STRANGE FOOD OF AMERICANS

|, An English woman who visited Amer
ics short time ago has been telling
her countrywomen about the strange
food across the water" OF course she
discovered green corn, but she had
been quite prepared for that. Oyster
crabs were quite new to her.
They look like Boston baked beans, -
she explains, 'but they taste much bet
ter"
An oyster cocktail filled her with awe
and enthusiasm. She tried it at Del
monico's and thought it was soup. OF
course, in England, one didn't serve
soup in . glass, but then neither did
the English serve boiled eggs in glass.
One could never be sure of Americans.

"All the puddings in America are
pie or ice cream" she says, but it must
be understood that pie does not mean
game pie. The Yankee pie 10 tart and
is ubiquitous, she explains.
She sat next to an American man
who ate lump Of cheese with his
strawberry pie and turned q plateful
of ice cream over both, but she doesn't
know that that is general custom.
The oysters were good. but had most
impossible names, and the cookies,
meaning clans, are excellent. On the
whole Yankee food and cooking are
good, but there is too much food ON
the table at one time.

an article on New York city and the
wonderful things to be seen there.
Some of the statements are . trife
tall, as will be seen from the follow
ing extracts:
1.-The Americans are dseidedly in
satiable. While we are still using
steam engines for our railways they
have long ago tasted of the benefits
of electrical traction, and now they
are commencing to abandon electric
ity for compressed air.
1.-The New York line of Manhattan
uses now, to the exclusion Of al
other modes. compressed cir engines,
and it appears that the results are
50 marvellous that the transatlantic
papers proclaim steam - . thing of
the past and electricity old-fash-
ioned.
"The air h compressed IN what the
American calls . power station,

pansive power of 1900 to 1000 kilos

A COLLECTIVE NAME.
0oRoiA Il = Sensible and Simple -.
1ut1oa Of = Problem Of
Long Standing.

Every once in awhile comes a de.
mand from some one for a collective
name for the United States, but con-
gress pays no attention to such de-
mands, and the people seem very well
satisfied with the present designation
OF our country, although it does some
times produce awkward expressions in
the way of derivatives" said the man
on the South side car, according to the
Chicago Inter Ocean. 'To avoid this,
the word America is generally substi-
tuted for United States, although the
name properly belongs to the whole
continent, and Canadians, Mexicans,
Cubans, etc., have the same right to
be called Americans as we have.
"Such names as Columbia, Usonia,
etc., have been selected as such col
lective names, but it would appear that
we have better name right in the
initials Of United States, and which
are in such common use as to be IA
miiar to all.
"Why not call the country 'Us?' The
name is short, expressive, and has a
sort of Biblical sound quite pleasing
to the ear. It rhymes with fuss, buss.
cuss, muss and numerous other words
existing or coinable, and could not be
mistaken for any other country. It
has an egotistic sound, and significance
rather pleasing to the average citizen,
and would, no doubt, be readily accept
able. The people would be either
usites or Usses, or perhaps Usians, and
the collective name cranks would be
silenced" /

sooner or later overcome this pest and

That something more effective should
be done in this valley in the way of en-
forcing the law on the pest question is
evident. Orlando Beck, fruit inspector
of this county, has been instructed by
the state inspector that he must take
steps at once to combat with the spread

desiring to incur any more expense than
possible in this direction. The state in

The fruit inspectors are paid by the
counties, hence the trouble the officials
have in enforcing the law.
