Sunshine for c-onsumptives.

The new "City" of sunbath, in the
centre of the Colorado desert in Cali
fornia and Arizona, is to be made a Ma
tional health resort. A large building
is to be erected for health seekers and
a town site has been laid out. The
city consists at present of sixty tents,
all occupied by consumptives. A ma
jority of tenters are, or were, consump-
tives in the last stages, given up to
die by the physicians of Phoenix. AS
q last hope, these -1ungers" decided
to try the sun-bath treatment, and
went to the location in the desert. In
two years there have been but two
deaths in the colony and the majority
OF these so-called hopeless cases have
improved to a wonderful extent. Fiji
teen have returned to their Eastern
homes entirely cured. If only the vast
army of dying consumptives in the
United States knew that life in the
air and sunshine of the arid Southwest
would save their lives, what great hap
piness it would bring to many honest

KAISER WILHELM's UNIFORMS.
He Has Two Complete Outfits of
Everything 20 Wear.

Kaiser Wilhelm, as is well known.
is the honorary commander of a dozen
different regiments in his own army
and as many more In the other armies
of Europe. He hold several actual and
honorary commissions in different
fleets; belongs to numerous orders of
military and civil distinction, and to
other organizations which have re-
galias that must be worn on cere-
monial occasions. Hence, when he
visits q foreign country, or is travel
ing about his own domains, he never
knows what uniforms and regalia he
may need, and, therefore, must carry
a large quantity of baggage. He has
two complete outfits of everything,
one OF which is usually kept on the i'm
perial yacht Hohenzollern and the
other In a baggage or wardrobe car,
built especially for the purpose, and
q part OF his private railway train.
The master of the robes, assisted
by several Wallets, has charge of the
emperor's wardrobe. and when the
train is In motion can produce at an
instant's notice any uniform or re-
gala in which he may desire to appear
at the next station. II he happens to
be passing through a garrison town
where one of his favorite regiments
is stationed it pleases them and it
pleases him to greet the officers and
men from the platform of his care in
the same uniform they are wearing.
II he crosses the border of another
country 1t is considered a compliment
for him to dress in the uniform of
the army or navy of that country.
Hence it Is important to have his
wardrobe q with him on all his jour-
neys.-Modern Society.

ELASTIC BANDS GUST STRING
Cheaper Than String in Some Uses
Tons OF Them Sold.

NO." said a rubber goods dealer,
who had been asked about the sale of
elastic bands, I'VE don't exactly sell
them by the ton, but there are tons
of them sold in the course of the year.
Originally designed more especially
for a convenient binder for bundles of
documents and that sort of thing, they
are now used for a great variety of
purposes in place of string. They are
used to put around packages and
bundles in stores, more especially
small packages, as in drug stores.
They are used by many manufac-
turers to put around things of various
kinds, which otherwise would be tied
up. If many of these uses, aside
from their convenience and their at
Effectiveness as a part of the parcel,
they are cheaper than string, because
the use of them saves SO much time.
A rubber band be wrapped around
a package in much less time than 1t
can be tied up.
Rubber bands in old times used to
be sold by the dozen, now, as you
know, they are sold by the pound, but
you don't have to buy a pound, you
can buy an ounce, or a half ounce, for
that matter.
How many bands to a pound? Well,
that depends, of course, on the size
of the bands. The biggest, heaviest
bands used run only twelve bands to
the pound; the smallest, a tiny little
band called an election ring, from their
use around punches of ballots, number
thousands to the pound. Most people
buy bands of gray rubber, but nova
days there are not a few who prefer
the bands of the more modern terra
Gotta color.
Il never heard an elastic band play,
but there's sure to be music in the air
when the small boy gets out with his
beanshooter, which he makes by at
taching a rubber band to the prongs
Of a wishbone-shaped handle; this be-
ing on of the uses of elastic bands that

The New British COINAGE.

It viii be q day of mixed feelings
for. many Englishmen when they cease
to use coins inscribed with Queen Vic
toria's head. A great many British
subjects now living have never used
any other inscription, except when
they have found q few battered shil-
lings of William w. and George ". in
their purses. Fortunately the transit
ton from the coins of Victoria to
those Of Edward VII. viii be very
gradual. But the Mint will not acall
in" the coins of the Queen except in
the mpsE gradual manner, and the
coinage 6kaEdward VII. issued at first
will onlyNpply the normal gaps of
the passing year. It was only recent
" that the coins of George ". and
William ~. were finally called in, and

THE REVENGE OF ANIMALS.
This Unpleasant Sentiment Is Wen
Developed In Some of Them.

A number of authentic anecdotes
have been collected by LIE Tour du
Monde to Illustrate the fact that the
sentiment of revenge Is very well de-
veioped in some animals. Everybody
knows that elephants, for example,
have long memories when they are
subjected to treatment that hurts their
feelings. Captain Shippe Of the
French army, discovered this fact to
his sorrow six weeks after he had
given an elephant a sandwich sprink-
led with cayenne pepper. The Cap
tain had almost forgotten the incident
when he next saw the animal and at
tempted to caress him; but the e1e-
plant, recognizing the practical joker,
suddenly absorbed a quantity OF dirty
water from a puddle near by and diff
fused it over the officers uniform.
Griffith, the historian, tells a story
of two Indian elephants at the siege
of Burtpore. Water was scarce and
in great demand which gave unusual
value to a we'll that had not dried up.
One day just as a small elephant and
his driver were leaving the well, the
animal carrying a pail of water a very
large and strong elephant seized the
pail and drank the water. The smaller
elephant, conscious of his inferior
strength, showed no resentment but
bided his time@ One day he saw his
enemy STAGING b~roadside by a well.
The little 8elloW suddenly rushed for
,warde with all the energy at his COM
rid, butted the big n on the side
and tumbled him owe into the well.
An Indian missionary tells of an in
discreet person whom he saw teasing
an elephant by pricking his trunk with
a pin and then feeding him with let
tuce salad which no elephant has any
use for. The animal was rather slow
in anger and he had not fully decided
to be mad till a half hour had elapsed,
when he suddenly seized mans hat
from his head tore it into shreds and
flung the fragments into the face of
his tormentor.
A British magazine told a while
ago, of a milkman's dog that was the
terror of all smaller CANNES, as he
was a fighter and missed a
chance to mix up in a row. Most Of
the dogs in the neighborhood bore
scars as evidence of his ferocity and
prowess. None of them could match
him in a fight. The idea finally oc-
CURED to them, however, that there is
strength in union, and SO one night
about a dozen of them went to the
home of the tormentor and thrashed
him within an inch of his life. The
milkman found next morning that his
dog vas nearly dead from the wounds
inflicted. When he recovered from
the scrimmage he was q changed dog,
having wholly lost his taste for fight
ing.
Sir Andrew Smith, a zoologist, told
Darwin that one day he saw a tame
baboon in South Africa bespatter with
mud an officer, who, all spick and
span, was on his way to parade. The
officer had frequently leased the ami
NAL. which took this effective means
CT revenge. Parrots also are among
the animals who do not soon forget
persons who tease or maltreat them.
They usually find some way to give
some unpleasant moments to those
who are unkind to them.

The chief object OF the American who
travels is to get there in the short
est possible time. The time lost by
the stopping Of trains at stations to
let on or take on passengers 10 sorely
regretted by the travelling public,
which prefers the express trains to the
slower moving accommodations. Con-
sidering the great demand for faster
trains and the efforts to build engines
which are capable of great speed, it is
strange that there has been no inven-
ton which would do away with stops
Tor passengers. as has been done by the
troughs for watering engines while in
motion. A New York inventor now
efegs to the railroads what he regards
ae 8 satisfactory method of letting on
and taking on passengers while the
train moves at les usual speed. The in.
vention consists of saddle cars to strad-
die the express train. BY q system Of
raised and lowered tracks the saddle
car Is to be picked up at one station by
the express and carried to the next
station, the passengers being trans
ferred from nj to the other in transit.
The inventor estimates that his ar
xangement would cut down the time
between New York and san Fran %
10 SO hours.

I'm the Chicago Record-Herald DR..
George f. Shrady observes that the
proper Interpretation Of the germ the
DRY as applied to septic infection lies
at the bottom OF all the present possi-
Utilities OF cure by the knife, and has
made clean wound treatment the new
religion OF safety for the countless
number Of otherwise doomed sufferers.
The same doctrine of cleanliness must
necessarily infuse itself into all the
comprehensive systems Of sanitary re-
form and disease prevention. 1t is APP
~propriately placed next TO that Of god
liness in its far-reaching beneficial
m~inistrations. In its widest sense 1t
controls all the baleful conditions Of
unhealthy environment and stamps out
pestilence by cutting OF all opportuni-
ties for its dissemination. A good
water supply. effective drainage, clean
streets and pure air make any city
healthy. The best OF all is that the
public appreciates these facts and con-
sistently seconds the Iaudable efforts Of
che health authorities to such ends.
