the matter put up your eleven cents and

age of consent and ability to take q
drink shall be eligible to membership.

promote the triology of ICONS" Congen-
.iality, Conviviality and Converse.
Rule 4. The sign of the oroer shall

You will waste time if you try to cure in
digestion or dyspepsia by starving your
self. That only makes it worse when YOU
do eat heartily. You always need plenty
of good food properly digested. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure is the result of years of
scientific research for something that
would digest not only some elements Of
food but every kind, And it is the one
remedy that will do it. Eugene A, Pfeff-

Opera in the twin cities must be high
ly appreciated. The Boston Lyric Opera
company's effects were attached by a
Minneapolis photographer last week to
collect bill of $174 for pictures made
for the management. The gross receipts
of the performance when the company
gave ssWang" in st. Paul was SOL. 1t
may be stated incidentally that the pho
tographer secured $5793 and choice
assortment Of tights and other impedi-
menta of the chorus. No wonder show
shop promoters put out such attractions
as the Partisan Gay Burlesquers.
Health Commissioner Ohage of St.
Paul has promulgated a ruling that men
shall no longer battle in the puddles ov-
er which he keeps watch and ward clad
in abbreviated trunks but must hence
forth wear elongated trousers while dis
porting themselves in ST. Paul's pelucid
pools. The doctor says it is for the good
of the public health, but if it be true that
germs and bacteria cling to the naked
flesh of common man wouldn't it be a
good idea for him to make his order a
little more sweeping and include the
Star theatre and once in while take in
an occasional function among St. Paul's
swell society. But then, perhaps the fe-
male form divine Is bug proof.

After all, the fact that Carnagie has
given hundreds Of thousands of dollars
to public libraries in New York and
,other large cities does not cut much ice.
He refuses to donate cent to the sup
port Of churches which cannot already
support themselves and will not contri-
butte to the establishment Of libraries in
small cities where the need is ten times
greater than in the larger towns. In fact
his contributions go, not where they
will do the most good but where they
will give him the greatest notoriety.
There's a whole lot of balderdash about
the philanthropy Of such men as Carna-
gle. There are today thousands of men
in the world whose modest contributions
of S5 or SO to public enterprises enti-
ties them to much more credit. We are
sick Of the adulation shoWered upon the
men who give .moiety of the wealthwhich
they do not know how to spend. It is
no wonder that the tendency of the
world at the present time is toward So
cialism.

The mos. ir- tercst1:, is, that while Thomas Smith was G6te.l.oE. 1893. a snip captain from Madagascar gave him bag of rough rice, which he distEbuted among his friends. The experiment.
 was SO successful that today rice is one of the staple crops of South Car olina. Indigo had been introduced, but its culture had failed although wilC indigo grew abundantly. A second eX- pertinent was made, about 174l. by Miss Eliza Lucas, daughter of the Governor of Antigua, who was in Car oiina on her fathers place. Her eff forts were crowned with success; and her fathers gift to her when she mar ried Charles Pickney was. the crop of indigo on his Wappoo place. The total crop for the colony netted million pounds a year. This remarkable wo- man was the mother, of Charles Cotes- worth and Thomas Pinckney. .

Saturday is Cleaning Day in Holland

Mary A. Pixotto in Scribners.
 But it was generally understood that our models would not pose on Saturday. that day being exclusively devoted to house cleaning within and without. Early in the morning every stick of furniture is carefully rubbed and wiped and taken out of the house. Then the women, with their skirts tucked up. entirely flood the rooms with bucket after bucket of water, brought up from the canal by means of the shoulder yoke. With broom ana brush they souse and scrub the red tiled floor, and finally pull up plug in one corner to let the water flow out let us hope into the canal.
 While the floor is drying a. great polishing goes on in the street. Qualnt old brass lamps and candlesticks, to- bacco boxes and ash trays, huge milk cans-all are 'burnishad until like gol- den mirrors. they reflect the reo- checked. hite-cappcd faces bent over them.

Paisley Weavers Produce Fabrics
 -aual ro india s Outputs.

New Yolk Commercial.
 There has Iec.utiy been a notaoie eAnIplt Of Pais.ey and India shawiS at Glasgow, Scotland, Wnlcb mas eliclted considerable comment on account 'of the g.e3t merits of the fabrics ani tEeir connection with an illustrious example of the weaver's art. In al- ludlng to this exhibit, John Ingram, cnas man ol the Governors ot the Weaving College at Glasgow, remarked that no products of the loom have ever eqGaled tie finer examples of the Pals- ley shawl in beauty of design, nac- mony of color, and rare skill of work ' mArship. The original home of the shawl was India. In the valleys Of the Cashmere those strangely gifted needle artists might have Deen seen, centuries ago. evolving from brain and finger those exquisite creations of skill. Some snawls must have taken years of patient labor to complete. To initiate those sha wls in the loom became the mission of the Town of Paisley for two or three generations. The fame of the Paisley shawl spread to the most dis tsnt coi ners of the globe. Their man. ufacture became the chief industry of that town, numbering at that time 50,- GOO inhabitants.
 At one time the Paisley shawl was in universal wear by ladies of highest degree and by all classes, especially on Sundays and holidays. Now they are only cherished as heirlooms, the pequests of a past generation. full of quick interest to the younger race, and relics of former fashions and former times. The freshness and brightness of many of the shawls were remark able, woven, as they were, fifty. sixty and seventy years ago, and worn for many a day, still looking as fresh and bright as if they had left the loom week ago. Will any present day fa- brics be able to stand such an ordeal could they be unearthed in the middle of the twentieth century? The Paisley, weaver and his assistant "drawboy" of those early days form a subject of in- teresting study Often, for weeks to- gether, weaver and drawboy would be at work from o'clock in the morning till at night. As craftsmen they have never been equaled in textile work.
 The shawl being an article of fash ion. there were times of ebb and flow; periods of great prosperity and seasons of terrible Impressions and consequent suffering; when the nation extended belping hand, as lately they did for India. An incident may be recalled in the life of Victoria in such a period of depression in the history of Paisley Great suffering was experienced in the years 1s41 and 1842 Her Majesty sent for some examples of Paisley shawls. selection of 130. made by different manufacturers was forwarded to Windsor From these eighteen were chosen and retained. This purchase and royal patronage becoming Known seemed to have helpful influence. for ere long the cloud of depression drove past and prosperity came again.

 As to William of Orange, "his lungs were weak. His constitutional asthma made Bapid progress. His physician, even in 1889. pronounced it impossible that he should live to the end of the year.
