Final Scenes in the Long Career of
President Kruger.
How the rIous Ola Man Lives I'm the
s.ittIc Town of HiIversum. H"i-
lnna--GIi. spirit Not Crushed
by Revcrses.

The final scenes in the long and
adventurous career of the expires
idcnt of the South African republic,
now ON the point of absorption IN
the British dominion, are being en-
acted at q little town named HilFer-
sum. in Holland. According to the
latest advices, his end cannot be very
far off, and one of the most remark
able men OF the last century Will dis
appear forever from the stage of hu-
man affairs. Mr.. Kruger inhabits
small, two-storied house, known as
Casa Cara. similar in every way TO
the residence of the wealthy Dutch
merchants. and of the usual type OF
country houses in Holland. There
are grounds surrounding the build
ing in which the president spends a
good portion of each day.
Hilvcrsum is town of about $4,000
inhabitants. and is half an hours
ride by rail from Amsterdam. IL Is
favorite country residence of the
Dutch, being very healthful and
quiet. Dom Paul rises early. accord
ing TO his lifelong custom, takes n
cup of black coffee the first thing
in the morning. and when dressed re-
pairs Go the garden, where he re-
mains as rule, till half past nine.
During this time he goes through his
mail. which has previously been
classified for him by his private sec
rotary. lie always takes with him
on these occasions his two INSOFAR
able companions, large pipe and n
large old-fashioned Bible with large
metal clasps.
Although he knows the sacred
books almost by heart, especially
those of the Old Testament. and can
always quote nm appropriate passage
from the Bible suitable for any given
emergency, yet he, nevertheless,
reads his Bible every day under the
shade of al arge tree in the pleasant
grounds of the villa. At noon pre-
-isely, for Mr.. Kruger is nothing IL
not methodical. he takes cold

AMERICAS JEWEL MADNESS.
Prevailing Rage for Precious stones
SURPRISES Anything Ever BE-
fore Seen I'm This Country.

The world has never seen, and in no
other part Of the world is there now
TO be seen, anything like Americas
Jewel madness as shown by the condi-
tions Of to-day, when more than 300
New York establishments are engaged
solely in the importation Of precious
stones, when agents Of American deal
ers are searching Europe for the white
gem and hopelessly endeavoring to
supply American appeals for rubies
and emeralds, and when 5000 men in
South Africa are toiling to obtain dia-
monds, more than half of which are
to add TO the beauty and happiness of
the American woman. IT is she that
has caused the United States to be-
come the greatest diamond market in
the world, says Ainslee's Magazine.
For her we have imported in a single
year 10000, 900 worth of precious
stones; for her, at one period, we
struggled them in at the rate of ST.
O00,0O0 year; for her we annually
buy something like $12,000,0O0 worth
Of diamonds, and thus, for her sake,
heartlessly leave of the worlds out
put Of diamonds only some $4,000, 1000
worth TO satisfy the vanity of all the
rest Of the women on earth. For her
adornment we annually cause to be
brought to this country diamonds
weighing in the aggregate 1900
pounds, a weight three times that of
the total output of the famous Kim
berley field, and practically the equal
of that of the whole of South Africa,
the worlds greatest diamond mine.

MONKEY MASCOT IN WAR.
A sImian Veteran of Philippine STRIFE
who Was I'm Many En-
Eagements.

Fritz. the mascot of company II,
Twenty-third regulars, and veteran OF
the Philippine war, is known to the
bows of the company as "comrade,
and TO them he is away above the av-
erage of his kind.
Fritz enjoys the rare distinction OF
being the only one of IL monkeys able
to stand the long ocean voyage from
Manila. Frank j. Knoffkey is his
owner, and the soldier has never gone
into an engagement since April IA, 1900,
when Fritz was brought into camp,
without the faithful monkey either on
his shoulders or trudging along close
by his side. Fritz has been one every
island in the Sulu archipelago and suf-
fered without murmur the long and
trying campaigns.
When Knoffkey lay wounded on the
field in Cebu island his comrades in
uniform pressed on, but his comrade
Fritz nestled close 20 his side and
guarded him through the watches Of
the night.
On the regiments forced march
across Latey island, Fritz divided his
time between walking and riding on
the shoulders of the men along the
line. IL was on this occasion, says
the New York Mail and Express, that
he came near losing his life at the
hands of several wild monkeys be-
cause he had no tail. A monkey loses
his social standing in the Philippines
when he is minus a tail. Fritz escaped
from his indignant relatives only by
Ieaping TO the shoulders of his master.

The Amounting of Kings

The question as TO whether King
Edward should be anointed at his
coronation and If so what form the
ceremony would take is bringing TO
light some interesting stories as TO
the way in which the rite was for
merly performed. Edward VI, the
last of the former Edwards. had n
difficult time, more difficult than that
Of Richard Crookback, who was
stripped TO the waist. Edward VI
lay PROSTATE ON the altar while
Archbishop Cranmer rubbed his back
much in the same way as wives
rubbed embrocation on the backs of
rheumatic husbands. In former days
the holy oil with which the king was
anointed was supposed 20 hedge
him with divinity. SO in those rough
times IL was natural that n king
should hasten his coronation

HERE'S A QUEER THING.
The "Morning Hour" In the senate
Begins mt Noon and Lasts
About Two Hours.

The "merning hour" is one of the
oueer things of the United States
senate. In the first place the morn
ing hour is two hours long. though
Il may be completed in ten or 10
minutes. In the second place, says
the Washington Star, il never oe-
ours in the morning, but begins at
~ o'clock noon. except on the rare
occasions when the senate meets at
10 or IL o'clock. Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts,, is responsible for the
elongation of the morning hour so as
TO make IL cover 100 minutes. Prior
to IA years ago the morning hour
while existing in the afternoon, was
but an hour in length, but a resolu-
ton submitted by Mr.. Hoar was
adopted August 10, 1sss, and that
proyided that the morning hour
should be two hours in length or that
Il should end at two o'clock. ms
resolution provided that after to-
day. unless otherwise ordered, the
morning hour shall terminate at the
expiration of two hours after the
meeting of the senate" The morning
hour Is devoted to the presentation
of petitions, the introduction OF bills,
reports of committees, etc, and Is
the time when all sorts of little mat
ters of that kind are attended to. AZ
two o'clock the presiding officer lays
before the senate the bill on the cal
endar, which is set aside as having
precedence over other measures, ana
that is generally the time for long
sneeches of all kinds unless unani-
nous consent is secured to consider
pension bills for n specified time or
unobiected bills on the calendar.

Killing of Seals.

The increased ynlue of sealskins in

islands, the breeding grounds of the
seal herds, to kill 1900 two-year-old
seals, whereas the rule has been not
TO kill any seal which has not reached
the age Of at least three years. If the
killing of two-year-olds is allowed to
continue 1t is certain that the seal

things well. One of them is
to give rich red blood to pale

But perhaps you are more
interested in results than in

The result of steady daily

is an increase not only in

in the appetite but in the good
