a wise woman.

A company has been organized in
London which is expected to solve once
and for all the eating problem as it
faces the bachelor and the servantless
household. This company guarantees
to send hot meal anywhere, at any
time, at moderate cost, the dinner
to be as good as can be got in any of
the first class restaurants. Not only
is the dinner sent, but with it goes a
complete table service, silver, glass and
napery. The idea in itself is not par
ticularly new, but the price for which
it is done Is surprisingly small A
dinner for one, comprising soup, en-
tree, roast and sweet, is sent out for
two shillings. Breakfast costs a shil-
ling lunch a shilling and sixpence
The company undertakes to supply all
the meals of household at q guinea
per week for each one. 1t has a CEN
tral kitchen, where the food is pre-
pared, and specially constructed bas-
kets so arranged that the hot dishes
will stay hot and the cold dishes cold.

are they who can escape the heat and

month of at most. So 1t becomes a
question in which almost every one
Is interested, how the hot, nerve-rack-

That windows and doors must be
opened to widest extent goes without
saying. Every stray breeze must be
enticed indoors. Then all at once one
becomes conscious of the medley OF
insistent, irritating noises that pre-.
viously penetrated only in subdued
fashion, Gays the Galveston News. The
grind of car wheels, the sizz of electri,

 The attendance promises to be very large and Grand Secretary Beauchamp is very busy at his office getting ready for the various sessions of the different bodies. The dues are coming in from all parts of the State and the indications are that the representation from the various subordinate lodges will be very large. There will be no entertainment of visitors beyond the pleasure they get out of the annual intercourse with brethren and the business sessions of the grand bodies.
 All the grand officers will be here to- morrow and will be ready for work when the gavel falls In the different grand bodies.

New Use for old Brass.

The House 6eauIIul.
 The brass shops of New York. hidden in the narrow streets of the East Side. among the Russian and Polish Jews. have often been written up. and they are very alluring to the lover of brass and copper. The sensible.. simple shapes are useful for many purposes, and the splen- did color and gleam make them distinctly ornamental. But sometimes copper and brass utensils are not good to eat out of or drink from, and for some purposes not dainty enough or quite suitable. For example, a tea or breakfast service for use in a conventional house is better in silver, and more in harmony with the fine china and other furnishings. In these brass shops, and occasionally in the regulation antique shops. may be found a shabby old pewter teapot. or sugar bowl, or creamer One lucky man found three pieces of the same period, George TIL, l believe, battered crooked and dingy, but delightful in shape. He did not want them for a collection but for practical use. and he took them straight way and gave thein three good caats of silver plate. Then he went to a' small shop on the East Side which has the largest stock of Russian brass in Amer lea, and there he bought brass tray. twenty-seven inches long, well shaped. perfectly plain. with a graceful. strong handle at either end. This also was tri- ple- plated, and now the tea service is complete and very beautiful. and yet cost little. Plating is Ike painting. One shabby chair under a coat of paint makes it's neighbor. the table, look so dingy that 1t, too. must be touched up. and when one has a tea service why not q coffee pot, and why not a pair of silver candle sticks for one's dressing table or desk. all of which can be found In these brass shops?

 One novelty he conceived and carried out with great success in his lecture room was an extra series of desks with a small track and turntabl at the cor ners. that specimens, microscopes. etc, might travel from pupil to pupil through out the room without waste of time or movement.
 Virchow's SOth birthday, on October 1S. 1901, was celebrated by a gathering of the most noted scientists in the world. On that day a remarkable group of notables assembled in the Berlin home of the old scientist. He was then in excellent health and was still active in mind and body. He was buried in Berlin on Sep tember g. and his funeral was attended by a large concourse of people. includ- ing many of worldwide fame.

worth knowing in medicine" Master of scores of intricate subjects and leader in most of them. 1t is little wonder that Virchow's compatriots spoke of him as "the man who knows everything.
 Virchow revolutionized the treatment of disease. bringing it from guess based merely on experience in the action or drugs in the presence of certain symp- toms to an exact .cience. He discov- cred tha tdisease was due to cell activity just as life itself is; that disease was promoted or stopped through the chem. ical interference with the forms of cell the first philosophy of disease that cov- cred the entire field. uniting thus a dozen warning factions and sweeping away thousands of absurd and fantastic the orieS the adherence to which was re- tarding all progress in the science.
 Virchow wrote scores of books and pamphlets on almost as many widely divergent subjects, treating all with the knowledge of a specialist. He expounded the great theory of disease in the epoch making book called Cellular Pathology" He wrote extensively on Goethe as a Naturalist" The Graves of Rowan" cine Throughout the World and many books and pamphlets on criminal law. the cleaning of cities, public and school hy- giene, epidemics. civil and military hos pitals and various political subjects and important public questions.
 Throughout his career this grand old man of science taught in the schools and colleges, and was an active instructor Of the general public. He founded dozens of museums and hospitals, He trans formed Berlin from notoriously un- healthy city to one of the most healthy in Europe. He travelled extensively in Egypt and Nubia and made himself a leader in certain lines of knowledge of the archaeology of these regions He se- cured important relief laws for the down. trodden peasants of Silesia.
 He reorganized German police systems, was active in bettering the drainage and water supply of Berlin and led a score of reform movements for the bettering of the conditions of the people.

 Vlrchow was born of parents of the middle class in the town of Schivelbein, near Stettin. In Pomerania. At l1 he left the gymnasium and went to Berlin to study medicine. In 1s43 he got his de- gree and became prosector at the Charite hospital In five years he was external lecturer in pathology at the University of Berlin, and, expelled from there for his OutSpoken political utterances. he was given the chair of pathology at the University of Wurzbu-E.
