CHILDREN OF THE CAR.
All Girls and Their Care Is Intrusted

Although no boy has hitherto
blessed their hearth, four girls have
been born to their imperial maiesties
Olga. the eldest; Tatiana, Maria and
the more-recently-arrived baby, whose
sex was such a disappointment to
the Russian nation. The care of these
children deyolves upon Miss Edgar, an
Irish lady, and two Russian under
nurses. The children, however, occu-
ply the same bedroom as their head
nurse. and the older ones also take
their meals with her, says Parsons

FLIES SPREADING TYPHOID.
Insects Are Chief Cause of Mortality
Among british Troops in South
Africa.

A British army surgeon who has long
been al the front in South Africa writes
an interesting letter to a London med
zeal journal from Harrowsmith. He
expresses the conviction that flies have
great deal more to do with the raw
ages of typhoid fever than has been
generally suspected. He believes that
they are the chief cause Of the fearful.
mortality from the pest in South AT
RIGA. He argues that inasmuch as ma.
ture has designed them to convey pol
len on their legs from one plant to an
other, it is only reasonable to suppose
that they are equally capable OF carry
ing and distributing the germs OF dis
ease. He points out as remarkable
fact that, although there was terri
be outbreak of enteric in Ladysmith
during the famous siege, when flies
abounded everywhere, there was none
last year, when there was also nOta-
BILE absence of flies. This latter phe-
nomenon he ascribes to the treatment
of all meat and other articles pecul-
iarly attractive to these winged nui-
sances with some sort of chemical
preparation which effectually kept
them off. The pernicious activity of
the fly obviously would make him a
most efficient agent for the diffusion of
poisonous microbes.

THE boys in the brokers' Office
always had made butt oil
Bunker. Bunker was the bookkeep-
er, taciturn and rather solemn-look'
ing at all times. The boys called
him "the old man" Bunker was 4C
and 1.-THE boys" were u or there
abouts. All sorts of jokes were
played on old Bunker, hut he never
showed the slightest sign of resent
ment. If any Of the shafts of weak
witticisms which were hurled at him
day in and day out pricked there
was no wincjng. The cubs finally
came to the conclusion that Bunker
was dense physically and mentally.
How this may have been nobody per-
haps but Bunker knew definitely, but
he was good bookkeeper, and that
was as far as the real old man OF the
Office cared to inquire.
Teddy" Long, the office masher,
who wore patent feathers from
Christmas 10 Christmas, and knew
all the latest things in fancy vests
and flowing ties, used to say that if
a woman should speak TO Bunker the
old man would fall dead When it
happened on rare occasions that a
woman would drop into the Office
to make an inquiry about something
Bunker would send one of the boys
to answer her questions. Once or

They CRUSH The POWERS

This is written in mid-O October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn in
the fields are signs of the season. Fog
frost, rain, suow,-they are coming. You
remember last winter; of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel. Ali the thous-
ands it killed, and the hundreds of thous-
ands it manned and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp it laid on men at work, women
at home, and children in cribs and cradles.
Coughs that began before Thanksgiving

of these Plasters is wonderful. They con-

GIANTS CAN BE GROWN.
with Proper Food and Exercise the
Growth of Man May BE Ac-
CELEBRATED

The common notion of the physiolo-
gist that growth and development
are due TO suitable diet and exercise
has formed the subject of some pecul-
lar experiments on the part of a
French doctor. He claims that he ha :
abnormally accelerated the growth of
children and animals by feeding them
on "A preparation of cereals, and that he
can make giants of those whose organ
ization in any way permits of such
extension.
A certain Bishop Berkeley succee ed
in similar feat long ago. He took a
male child and fed him in accordance
with system of his own. BY the time
the boy was IS years of age he had at.
tanned a height of feet inches.
Moist foods, such as drinks of tea and
milk and other similar beverages, tend
to increase the stature, while dry and
spiced foods and alcoholic drinks tend
to stop the Development.

BRITISH NAVAL CUSTOMS.
An Interesting Account of the Origin
of Number of Regular
Practices,

A fact not generally known is that
the black silk handkerchief which
Jack knots around his throat was first
worn as mourning for Nelson. and has
ever since been retained. The three
white stripes around the broad blue
collar of the sailors jumper commem-
crate the victories of Trafalgar, Copen-
hagen and the Nile. Thus, it has been
remarked, the Nelson legend affects
not only Jacks work but his food and
clothing as well. The broad blue collar
itself is older than the great admiral
1t was first adopted at that period
when sailors plastered their hair into
a stiff pigtail with grease and powder,
says the London Family Herald.
At nine o'clock each night the sentry
in every ship in harbor fires off his
rifle. For the origin of this custom
We may have to look back to the days
of flint locks. Then, in order to test
the printing and see that his weapon
was in disable condition, the sentry had
to fire it off each night. There is no
niece ssity for such a test with modern
rifles, but the nine o'clock firing is
religiously carried out.
Every officer or man climbing to the
quarter deck salutes. The origin of
this usage dates back a long way.
When England was a Roman Catholic
country crucifiX stood on the quarter
deck Of all ships, Every time any one
of the crew approached this holy sym

THE LITTLE MINSTREL.

His hands are soiled his throat is bare,
His face is streaked with dirt and thln'
And many slip is in the air
He plays upon his violin;
A sadness dwells within his eyes.
The shoes are ragged on his Ieet
And scoffers stop to criticise
The little minstrel in the street
There by the curb ne plays away
Where fakes float past and winds blow
chill,
IND maybe. as the critics say,
He lacks the tutoreG artists skill
But now and then a little strain
Played faultlessly and soft and sweet
Floats up from where he stands out there
The little minstrel IN the street
Say, ragged little minstrel why
Must people listen but TO hear
The false note, ever passing by
The strain that rises soft and clear!

Might In our own ways sound the sweet
And faultless notes as oft as he

twice the cubs succeeded in getting
Bunker himself TO wait upon the fe-
male visitor, and then they lay back,
metaphorically speaking, and enjoyed
themselves hearing the old man slut
ter and stammer and in seeing him
blush rosy red while trying to an
swer the fair visitors queries They
came to the conclusion in the Office
that Bunker was not woman hater
simply because it wasn't in his dis
position 10 hate anything or any
body. They put it down that with
him it was a plain case of just wom-
an scared.
The Office was on the twelfth floor,
and it's windows looked out over the
roof Of a low building just beyond.
Teddy Long had n desk at one win
dow. Teddy frequently was more
occupied with the office behind the
windows in the twelfth story of the
building beyond than he was with
the business in his own office. II

Uses opposite, and the lawyers were
known to the boys in the broker
office for the frequency with which
they changed their typewriting staff.
About once a month a new face, and
always a pretty one, would appear
in front Of the machine back Of the
legal windows. One morning Teddy
Long cast his eyes across the way,
and there he saw n new face behind
the big window pane. As he told the
other boys few minutes after, this
new face had all the others that had
gone before beat to DEATH
"Shc's daisy, fellows" said Teddy.
"Whcn yor get a chance 20 to the
window and shy look over there.
She's got black hair, swapping eyes,
red checks and a daisy figure"
Distant inspection by the other
young members Of the brokers' staff
fully confirmed Teddy's opinion OF
the new arrival. The next morning
Teddy sat at his desk biting the end
Of a pencil and stroking his upper lip
whore there was just the faintest
Substance of things hoped for, the
evidence OF things not seen" Teddy
had been casting languishing glances
in the direction Of the typcwriting
charmcr in the lawyers Office, He
knew she had seen him, but as far
as any evidence that she cared ia
pay any attention to him was con
ccrncd the girl might have been a

Things had been easy for him at
other times, and his bump Of conceit
