A Happy Venture.

In small flats the space allotted 10
the kitchen cannot well be spared.
Knowing this, a Chicago landlord, in
building an apartment house, instead
Of n kitchen built buffet, or cooking
closet, next the dining room. This Is
about six feet square and contains a
sink, gas range and shelves, and space
enough for the housewife TO bake and
cook Next It is the pantry, with re
frigerator and room to keep supplies.
The landlord made a happy venture.
No sooner was the buffet seen by
ould-be-tenants than all other ac.
compartments were as naught, and all
the apartments were rented at once
and more demanded, so that all new
flats in that quarter Of the city are
being provided with buffets.

OPEN AIR AND CONSUMPTION.
A Striking Case Of Benefit From the New
Mode of Treatment.


Mode of Treatment.
Perhaps the most startling innova
ton in dealing with tuberculosis in the
last few years has been the exposure
Of the patient to cold fresh air, in.
stead of housing him in warm place
and shielding him from draughts. One
Of the most famous establishments for
this kind of treatment is at Nordrach,
in Germany. But the system has been
taken up elsewhere in Europe and also
in America. DR.. Hector Mackenzie, Of
London, an enthusiastic believer in the
fresh air method, fayors having the
windows and doors wide open, or put
ting the patients out on balconies. He
would do so day and night, winter and
summer regardless Of the weather.
One of the most remarkable cases
which came under DR.. Mackenzie's
observation in London was at ST.
Thomas's Hospital. The patient was
kept on a balcony for months in the
autumn and winter. When the patient
first came there he was greatly enact
ated, had little fever and percepti-
bic cavity in the right lung. In y
month the fever disappeared, the pa
tient almost entirely ceased splitting
and his weight began to gain. Event
ually he added tWenty-siX pounds to
his weight-in how short q period it
does not appear-and in six months he
left the hospital, cured. This is prob
ably an extreme case, and does not
represent the average. The best re-
suits are secured, Of course, with
cases less advanced. And yet the sys-
tenn has now been on trial in so many
places and so long as to give statisti-
cal evidence OF its great value.
Whether the patient sits in a chair
or lies on a cot, is placed in a room
with open windows or is out on a bal
cony, he must breathe the air just as
he gets it, and without any artificial
heating To prevent suffering from
cold he should dress warmly. Unlim-
tied personal and bed clothing are en-
couraged. Eurs and great wooden
NtllIo NC OlANA WILL anu IA a. ACN
instances hot water bottles have been
applied to the feet. But otherwise the
patient must face the weather just as
it is, at least down to a temperature
that causes snow.
An important feature Of the treat
ment at Nordrach and also in London
is hearty feeding, which is compulsory
when the patients have but little appe-
tite. The kind and quantity of food Is
prescribed by the doctors in charge,
and the attendants see to it that the
proper amount is actually consumed.
The reason for this is not altogether
clear. 1t is not what one eats but
what he digests and assimilates that
nourlshes him. But the results of the
treatment appear to be satisfactory,
and that is the important thing.

Doleful predictions are heard from
fur dealers, who say that seals are
now so scarce that the sealskin sack
may become extinct, and future gen

Number of American COLLEGES.

To-day there are 029 universities

about S31 100000 over the amount for
the preceding year. The endowment
fund amounts to $151, ,120,590. The to-

factions, amounts to S27,730.1 .154 The
value Of gifts and bequests during the
years 1S9S-1S99 amounted to $21, $685.

Agriculture is the basis of American
national progress. 1t is for the well

Here's an instance in which a man
utilized his mouth for something even
better than talking. Bertram Hines
an Englishman, became a painter in
spite Of the fact that he lost both his
arms in an accident when he was q
child. He had developed at that time
a taste for drawing, and the loss of
his arms did not swerye him from
his determination to become an artist.
He therefore set to work holding his
pencil or brush with his mouth. At
the age Of sixteen he exhibited a water
color study at the Bristol Fine Art
Academy, and a little later won an
art scholarship valued at 100 guineas.

With the trend of the country's pro.
gress, it may be well to note the uny
limited demand for Western lumber.
The supply sent to the Eastern mar.
kets has materially decreased, owing
TO the steady building Of new Western
towns. The vast, productive region
beyond the Mississippi, which was
marked in Peter Parleys geography
as "The Great American Desert" has
now become a theatre Of business
activity, and the dwelling place OF
thousands of prosperous, contented
families. The trade of the North
west has increased in the past ten
years, according to Bradstreets re-
ports, over five hundred per cent, a
statement that seems to be phenom-
enal. The West can also boast efhun.
dreds Of small towns, some less than
a year old, and all progressing with
vigor and rapidlty. Their presence is
due to the advance Of transportation
e,facilities into new sections, states Sue.

There are over one hundred cities in
Germany to-day where there are cleo
tric tramways in existence. These are
operating over COCO cars. Twelve
years ago there were only three cities
in the empire in which electric rail
ways were operated. At present only
three German cities have adopted un-
derground condults; in the remainder
the electric railways are operated by
the trolley system.

The French are so sanguine Of the
utility OF the new submarine boat with
which their navy is being equipped

blockading are past. British naval
officers do not share, however, in that
belief. They do not attach much i'm
portance to the submarine boat, even

In the most matter Of fact way an

Hawaii will be laid forthwith and
that it will be extended to the Phil

TO ENGLAND
NEW AFGHAN AMEER WILL FOLLOW
IN HIS FATHERS FOOTSTEPS.
RumOr that His Brothers Have Fled
Taken to Defend CabuI.

SIMLA, Oct. u.-Habib Oullah Khan, the
new Ameer of Afghanistan, has officially
informed Lord Curzon the viceroy of India
that he will follow in his fathers footsteps
hoping that the friendship existing between
the Afghan and British governments will
continue tofncrease.
LONDON, Oct 12.-"According to official
intelligence from the Ameer of Bokhara, -
says a dispatch from st. Petersburg TO the
Daily Telegraph, 1.-The brothers OF Habib
Oullah Kahn left Cabul secretly with their
partisans the moment their father died
and therefore cannot be said to have ac-
quiesced in the accession of their brother.
Habib Oullah Kahn, indignant at their
flight, has taken measures to defend the
capital and sent a strong detachment to
prevent their return or to endeavor TO cap
ture them rebels. He has further re-
solved TO ask assistance of Emperor Mich
olas and the Ameer OF Bokhara."
As bearing upon the advices to the Daily
Telegraph from st. Petersburg, it is pointed
out that Habib Oullah. in his letter to Lord
CurZon announcing his accession, asserted
that his younger brother had sworn al
legiance to him in a public durbar on the
day the old Ameer died.

CONSTANTINOPLE Oct lin compl-
ance with a request from Washington the
search by Ottoman troops for the abductors
of Miss Stone. the American missionary,
has been abandoned, it being feared the
brigands would kill her should they be
closely pursued. Arrangements
being made TO pay the ransom demanded.
LONDON. Oct 1.-THE United States
legation here" says a dispatch from Con-
stantinople to the Daily Telegraph, has
received information, which it withholds.
of some expected developments in the Stone
affair. On Tuesday it was supposed an at
tempt would be made to capture the band,
but nothing has been heard since Monday,
when Mr.. Haskell reached Samakoff. He
is not provided with funds, but has been
empowered to arrange the lowest terms.
The attempts TO capture the band have
made the brigands shy of future traps.
thus rendering negotiations difficult. Such
tactics are severely criticised here. The
brigands may in revenge kill their captive.
Moreover. the fact that no money was pro-
duced on the first demand may cause the
brigands to mutilate Miss Stone as warn
ing"
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE State De-
partment has heard again by cable from
United States Consul General Dickinson
and Secretary of Legation Spencer Eddy
touching the progress of the negotiations
looking to the release of Miss Stone. None
of the details was made public, however
and all that can be gathered as to the
status OF the case is that conditions are by
means as reassuring as was expected

Temperance People Resent State

PITTSBURG. Oct. 1.-THE members Of
the permanent committee on temperance Of
the Presbyterian General Assembly do not
take kindly TO the annual report of Surgeon
General Sternberg. In IL he declares:
Military officers may be said to be unani-
nous i'm their opinion that the steady de-
crease of late years of alcoholism in the
regular army is mainly the result of the
establishment of the post exchange or can
teen at military posts"
Il 90 not believe it," said William c.
L.illey. treasurer of the committee. THE
facts and figures and testimony in our
possession as a committee refute the state
ment.
one year ago the committee was very ac-
tive in presenting petitions 10 Congress
against the canteen- Now it is preparing
To wage a still more effective warfare
against the repeal of the present canteen
law. y large amount of anti-canteen liter
ature is being prepared in Pittsburg for
distribution among the thirty-two synOds
at their annual meetings. The permanent
committee will address each synod. and
through the state committees and presby-
teries will reach the S000 churches OF the
denomination. From each petition will
be sent through the communities and re-
turned finally TO the permanent committee
TO be presented TO Congress.
