marches to the market cross and gives
one blast on his horn.

the States TO send National Guard regiments TO the
maneuvers in Fort Riley. The invitation is sent to
all Governors with the hope that sufficient interest
may be aroused TO make the maneuvcrs OF the prac-
teal benefit which they should be.
OF course. many OF the States will be unable TO
send militia TO Fort Riley, owing to the expense. The
War Department has suggested that if the entire or
ganization cannot be sent n few Of the officers be
allowed 10 attend, both for the knowledge which they
would gain and for the sake of arOusing more gen
cral interest in the maneuvers.
1t is hardly probable that any large number OF
militia regiments will participate this year. There
are not sufficient appropriations. Yet the various
legislatures should make adequate provision for fu-
ture contingencies and set aside enough money TO
allow members of the National Guard to serve with
regular troops in the practical work of the encamp-
mentS.
The great fault with militia is its failure to meas
ue up 10 service standards. Though it is not eN-
pected that the short time which is usually devoted
10 drill by the militia soldiers will be sufficient to
make their regiments organized war machines like
the regulars, every effort to raise the standard OF
training should be encouraged. The Fort Riley
maneuycrs are the best opportunities. The States
should respond by enabling 4 part Of their troops to
participate.

CHoATE's PRESIDENTIAL BOOM.


Mr.. Don NJ. Dickinson may be regarded as having
INDUCED in a stroke Of humor when he assured his
English hearers in the course of his recent speech be
fore the Hardwicke Society Of London that United
States Ambassador Choate was a strong presidential
possibility.
Mr.. ChOate would probably be hailed with acclaim
by Britishers as n candidate for President of the
United States. but the average citizen of the Union
would sturdily refuse to participate in this enthusi-
assn. The present American Ambassador to the
Court of st. James has no claim upon his country
men j%ustifyinG his LOndon-launched boom for the
presidency. He was 4 fairly prominent lawyer in
New York City prior to his appointment to his pres
ent diplomatic post. but had never distinguished him
self in public life sufficiently to make him 4 national
figure on the political stage.
Fairly prominent lawyers are exceedingly numer
GUS in this country. and something more is requisite
to bring a man to the presidential measurement.
Besides. Ambassador Choate would probably de-
cline TO leave London for the rough and strenuous
task OF running for the presidency. At n recent
moment, when even Englishmen were rejoicing that
King Edward was out of danger. Mr.. Choate was still
so deeply plunged in grief on the Kings account that
he tried to cast a damper over an American Fourth of
July celebration in London, arguing that such cele-
bration would be indecent. Mr.. Choate may not be
considered as a presidential possibility. lie is sufi-
GENTLY prominent as American Ambassador TO the
Court of ST. James.

wonder is not new. Within a year after the N-ray
WAS discovered. every surgeon Of cminence in the
world was using the mysterious light in one way or
another.
II is possible that within another year wireless
telephones will have been perfected. Santos-Dumont
has demonstrated that flying in tine air is possible.
Give n little more time to him and his hundreds of
competitors. and flying machines may be CONNER
cialiy practical.
Little seems impossible in these days. The inven-
tions Of former years have made possible the early
adoption Of those perfected at this day. Competition
in quick communication among the different parts Of
the world leaves no opportunity for slowness in the
growth Of I worthy commercial invention. Capital
is on the lockout for the products Of the genius who
has something to offer. The evidence is at hand in
the success Of recent discoveries. The man with the
inventive mind never had such an incentive to labor
as at the present time.

THE SILLY SEASON AT OYSTER BAY.

Beginning with the mOmentous news that young
Theodore-or was it Kermit ?-ROosevelt suffered a
scratch on the head as the result Of a frecracker ex-
ploding in a bottle on the Fourth of July. we shall
now enjoy n summer of startling announcements con-
corning the doings Of the Roosevelt children In their
Oyster Bay home.
This fact is emphasized by the later announcement
that the girth OF the saddle on the horse of the Presi-
dents daughter recently became loose and that Miss
Alice might have fallen all the way to the ground If
the President had not frightened the girth.
When We remember that the Roosevelts have been
Mt Oyster Bay but a few days yet, that it is n large
and spirited family, that there is also a large and
spirited corps of special correspondents on the scene,
and that midsummer dizziness has settled down over
other fields of news, the certainty of n plenty of lItera-
ture anent the Roosevelt youngsters becomes alb
solute.
There is no ground for. complaint on this head.
however. The American people, being n healthy peo-
pie, love children and their ways. II those Of the
President will only be cute and funny this summer.
and if the special correspondents worthily deyelop
their respective talents for Kindergarten chronicling,
we may get lots of enjoyable reading from Oyster
Bay.
The first two stories have not been particularly
enlivening, but let's hope for an improvement as the
season progresses. It's the silly season." anyway,
please keep in mind.

Importance Of Correct Diet.

N FEVIII III
II is impossible to have perfect health unless the body
is perfectly nourished. No amount OF exercise or deep
breathing can accomplish much unless the diet Is suited
TO the requirements Of the individual. Every day l meet
persons who are actually working themselves to death try
ing to build muscle. when a few weeks OF good feeding
would Increase their weight and vitality at once. And 1
have seen many others gain from ten to thir;y-hve or
forty pounds in a month and have the increase evenly dis
tributed over their bodies. 1t made little difference even
ifsthey had been thin for years: Just as soon as they got
a diet suited to their requirements they Immediately began
to pick up; the face lost its haggard. hungry look. the
bones became covered. the angles disappeared. the form
became rounded out and symmetrical. and this in spite OF
the dtscontinuance OF heavy exercises and sometimes the
restriction OF even light ones.

WORLD'S-19O4-FAIR

AS CHICKEN INCUBATGRS.
Womans capacity for making practical use of the
most unlikely things is illustrated anew in the case of
the Kentucky wife whose husband lay sick of n fever
and who utilized the exceptional heat of his body as an
incubator for chickens.
Before the complete recovery of her spouse, we are
told, al which time, of course, he lost the greater part
Of his value as an incubator, this resourceful Ken
lucky woman. succeeded in having him hatch out some
%forty-four chickens, all of whom were doing well at
last accounts. This achievement will probably be ac-
cepted as distinctly distinguished and as adding fresh
luster to the fame of the present-day woman.
Yet, somehow, as seems to be inevitable to the
feats Of the modern woman, there is an additional
menace to home happiness in this latest development.
The utilization of feverish husbands for the incubation
of chickens may strike wives as a most excellent prac-
tice, but the average husband viii protest against it
with the deepest feeling. He did not marry for the
purpose Of Matching out chickens; neither, when pain
and anguish wiring his brow in the course of a fever.
does IL impress him as a wifely ministration for his
better half to I'LL his bed with eggs. And who shall
say, in this one instance, at any rate, that there is not
something Of right in the husbands protest? The
terms Of no marriage contract yet known to man call
for the employment Of his animal heat as a chicken
incubator.

Some Pointers on Old Furniture.

NJ InltUenuent-
The impression prevails generally that mahogany was
the wood used for all fine old furniture. Some Of the best
chests Of drawers, bureaus and tables. however. were made
of walnut and OF cherry. and many OF the finer chairs i'm
Queen Anne and Chippendale styles are Of walnut. cspe-
cialy II found out Of New England: and as this wool is
not much used in reproducing. one may feel fairly safe in
buying a walnut chair.
A common method employed to make articles appear
old is the simple use OF a shotgun and Nc. S shot. the
result being to tho casual observer a rich harvest OF an
tique worm holes. But they ran readily be detected. since
the genuine worm holes are slightly oval in shape with
ragged edges. while OF course the shot holes are round and
smooth. Under a magnifying glass they cannot he mis-
taken for the genuine. Furthermore. one should bear in
mind that mahogany rarely, II ever. is worm eaten. and
then only when IT has been kept in a warm. damp eli
mate. Walnut. especially the foreign varieties. IS most
apt to be attacked by worms. but this is usually free from
them when kept in the North. Very few specimens OF
furniture In this country are worm eaten.

THE BEST HOLIDAY TIME

As the result of inquiries made for the purpose OF
obtaining the views Of a number Of representative
men as TO the best season for a vacation. the Boston
Globe has learned that each Of the four seasons has its
champions, bat that the latter are united in favor of
Ethe time when one can best be spared from work"
The first requisite for enjoyment of a holiday being
an easy mind, it viii be seen at a glance that the
holiday-maker must be free from worry. A man
worthy of q position of responsibility cannot abandon
his task with a satisfied conscience If he knows that
he should remain at his post. Should he do so. a fail
ue TO relish his vacation would be certain from the
very beginning. Therefore, first and foremost. the
most convenient season is the best season for a holi-
day.
As for the time of year most suitable, It is natural
and satisfactory that there should be a diversity of
opinions. Lazy loafng in the summer time has its IN
deniable charms. A surrender to spring fever" when
comes the early vernal tempting to idleness is delight
full. The bracing and celebrating atmosphere Of
autumn Is a tonic keenly grateful to many. Even
winter has its attractions as a holiday season. espe-
clally II one can afford a flight from January's rigors
in a harsh climate to the softer airs Of some Southern
resort. The main thing is to choose the convenient
moment. With this done, it's 4 mighty dull soul that
cannot enjoy a holiday, knowing that there is no
neglect of duty involved in the taking of a rest.
