Perhaps She Knew.

"A funny little incident came to nv
knowledge not long ago" said the man
who rents bicycles, as he settled himself in
an easy chair on the porch Of the Cabin
John Hotel. My clerk was away for a
few days this spring, and had to open the
store myself once or twice. One morning
about o'clock, Just few minutes after /
had reached the store, in came a yery
pleasant-looking young lady of about twen-
", very prettily dressed In bicycling cos
tune, who said she desired to take an eariv
morning wheel ride, and asked how much I
charged FOR wheels by the hour / said that

She thought for minute, and then said

Don'ts are sometimes easier to remember
th2n dos, so here are a few TO commit to
memory, just on the subject of brooms:
Don't set your broom down on the brush
end. Hang it up when not il use. 1t will
-ttSt twice as long.
Don't use Your CARPET broom to SWeeD the
cellar and scrub the kitchen: Keep a clean
. fresh broom for carpets.
Don't use broom splints to test a cake. 1t
$ not cleanly habit, to say nothing of the
G&nser of getting poisoned from the arsenic
used to color the broom.
Don economlZe too much in brooms. A
! SUD broom wears your carpet, takes more
Time in the sweeping and tires you out.
Don't sweep with your back. Use your
arms.
Don't forget that your broom needs an
occasional bath. On washing day before
the rinsng tub is emptied throw a little salt
shake off the superfiuous water and set on
end out of doors to dry. The good work

SHOOTING STARS.
Meteoric Showers Which Are Expected
in August.

Early one evening the latter part of last
week residents of this city and vicinity who
Glanced to be gazing skyward witnessed a
shooting star exhibition on an unusually
elaborate scale. A meteor of some size
moved across the arc of blue from horizon
70 horizon. almost. leaving trail of fire in
its wake. The blazing path. Furthermore.
seemed TO be very near the earth In this
connection it Is announced by astronomers
that some time very soon meteoric show
may be expected.
The astronomers say that il is impossible
TO foreteu lust how much of a display will
occur. The shooting stars that are sched-
uled to appear are designated "per-
seids,' for the reason that the position from
which they come, so far as is known. is
somewhere near the constellation Perseus
4 IS explained that otherwise these shoot
constellation.
According to well-known astronomer
the three principal displays of shooting
stars are the perseids, which occur in Au1
gust. ana the leonids and andumids, which
occur IN November. The telescope operator
further SAYS:
Besides these three there are MANY
minor radiants. and probably strays of iso-
iated displays. the latter of which generally
fau TO the earth as more or less large
masses and which may afterward be found
upon the earth.
1T is estimated that hardly a day passes
but that more or less meteors fall to the
earth: This. in time, will increase the
earth's mass
'Meteors contain many Of the elements
we md on earth-iron, nickel, cobalt, tin,
copper and the like. Some meteors are so
nard that it is next to impossible TO grind
and polish their surfaces, they Suggesting e
crysta!Ized carbon, or microscopic dia-
monds.
Among the gases. hydrogen has been
with certainty found included in some me-
teors. ~
Astronomers deduced for the August
meteors an orbit that closely resembles
mat OF Comet II. 1862, showing that the
perseids travel about the sun and that the
earth's orbits cross each other.
The constellation Perseus contains one
OF the most wonderful stars In the heavens

est star clusters visible in even a moderate

Eros. one Of the small planets or asteroids
OF the solar system, has been rediscOyered

scope In Chamberlin observatory. Eros Is
one Of the most recently discovered of the
chain Of asteroids. Its presence in the
heavens was first detected by an impression
on a Photographic plate exposed by Witt
at Berlin in 1898.
A year ago last October, II Is said. the
planet came sufficiently close to the earth

observation until June OF last year, when II
again became invisible.
Its temperance has been awaited with
interest by astronomers on account of va

One of our local painters Robert Lee

Sir Francis knollys, King Edwards pri-
vate secretary, to come to England ar!
paint a miniature of his majesty in his
coronation robes. Mr.. Keeling has divide

for several years and has painted many
celebrities on both sides of the Atlantic
He majesty Queen Alexandra was one OF

count of the excellence Of her miniature
that the present commission was given.
Mr.. Keeling is the son of the Rev. d.

The exhibition season in London has come
virtually to a close, but in the Whitechapel
Gallery there is an interesting and carefully
arranged japanese exhibit. 1t is similar to
the Chinese show which was held in the
same gallery last summer and is extremely
practical and very good. These exhibitions
are arranged for the enjoyment and edifca-
ton of the dwellers in the East End, and
| that they attain their purpose is amply tes-
titled by a letter written some weeks ago
by one who claims to have been "once a
Coster," which was published in the London
Morning Post, in response to an article
questioning the value of this very exhibi-
ton. The writer declared that any one
who did not believe in the beneficence of
these shows was entirely ignorant of the
manners and feelings of the people of White
chapel. Il have myself" he said been
made better man through looking at pic
lures, and one of my childrens lives has
been completely changed for good through

such exhibitions, but be plea for the Open-

The Dudes We're Fooled.
The Kings Velvet Cuff the Cause.

A few weeks ago, among other bulle-
tins of State affairs in London, semi.
official announcement was made that
his Majesty King Edward, had in
augurated new style by appearing IN
a frock coat with deep turned-up
velvet cuffs.
There was an instantaneous boom
in the tailoring trade. Every "dear
old chap" in the realm applauded
the Kings taste and originality and
ordered similar garments. Impecuni-
Gus scions of nobility pledged the
family jewels in order to maintain
that "correct form" which, however
extravagant, is correct, because it is
royal, and the velvet-cuffed frock Goa,
became the only proper wear.
AT the very moment that the Beau
Brummels were enjoying the height
of this sartorial satisfaction, some
body made a grievous discovery
This was nothing less than the fac,
that the Kings new garment was not
frock coat at all, but an ordinary
overcoat, on which velvet cuffs have
been worn for years.
Now the ''tashion" feels that It ha:
been woefully deceived, not only
financially, but in another respect. II
is argued that the horrible truth has
held many of London's best dresser'
up to ridicule, and that the only way
in which the King can atone for th'
situation is to actually adopt a frocl
coat with turned-up velvet cuffs.

Thousands Sold Into White Slavery.
MANY YOUNG GIRLS ARE SENT FROM
VARIOUS EUROPEAN PORTS ANNUALLY.

The associations for fighting the
"white slave trade have begun an
energetic campaign in Germany.
They have issued report stating,
on presumably incontestable authority
that 1000 girls leave European ports
annually to be slaves of ruffians, who
have enticed them away from home.
In Germany alone there is gang of
nearly one hundred persons engaged
in this traffic.
They are perfect in the art of
"making up" DISCUSSES. That OF a
schoolmaster in search of female as
sistants for German school is the
commonest ruse.
Some pretend to be hotelkeepers
looking for pretty barmaids, or wine
merchants who want saleswomen, or
advertising agents who want girls to
learn to be typewrlters, and so on.
Galicia and Western Russia are
their favorite hunting grounds.
They do not hesitate to go through
the ceremony of marriage. One man
recently arrested in Hamburg has SIX
wives living, of whose whereabouts at
present he has no knowledge. He
thinks they may be somewhere in
South America. That country is not
the only country to which these white
slaves are sent. India takes quite q
number, and so does China, but
Turkey takes still more, who are
chiefly shipped from Black Sea ports

A discussion, which the republicans
say should have taken place IN execu-
tive session but which occurred on
the floor of the Senate IN open ses-
sion, recently revealed the prodigalty
OF the republicans in the expenditure
of the public funds. Growing out of
the effort to pass bill providing a
messenger for one OF the minor Senate
committees, it transpired that at the
present time the amount spent for
messengers and other employees of
the Senate exceeds the aggregate
salaries and mileage of the Senators
themselves. 1t is we'll known fact
that many of these employees are en-
tirely unnecessary and that they are
simply a result of the spoils system,
having been appointed without regard
to their usefulness and because the
Senator who secured their employ
ment had reasons of his own for wish
ing to support them at the expense oI
the government. The total amount
now paid to the special employees o.
the Senate aggregates, according tc
the estimate of Senator Platt, some
100000, while Senatorial salaries
and mileage amount to but $3.50, 900
