A Simple Rem etSY.

The readiness Of some people to send
for a man to do those little things
about the house which the smallest
amount Of enterprise or ingenuity
would enable them to do Cor them
selves is illustrated by an incident re
ported in the Chicago Tribune Of q
family named Chut kster.
They had bought some new gas burn
ers with mantIes. For week or two
the light was satist actory; then it grew
dim and DINNER until Mrs. Chuckster
sent for the gas filter.
"It grows worse all the time," she ex-
planned.
when was it put Gn2' asked the
man
~About month ago."
"Ah, yes; / see."
Then he lifted the chimney off, took
it out to the kitchen. washed it with
soap and water, and the light burned
as brightly as ever.
Fifty CENTS" said the man.

The Woman and Her Face.

Once upon time a woman had a
quarrel with her features because they
made ugly faces at her when she
looked in the glass. She scolded and
scolded, but it all did no good.
Finally she sat in front of her mir
ror, and with rouge, powder and black
pencil went deliberately to work to
show her face how wrong it was and
succeeded.
After time she smiled smile of
Intense satisfaction, and her face
smiled pleasantly back at her.

a south African Animal.

There is a curious looking animal in
South Africa that looks for all the
world like a piece Of toast with foIr
legs, a head and tail. 1t resembles
a pussy cat about the forehead and
ears. but it's nose is distinctly that of
a rat, while its tail is not very dis
similar to that of fox. This strange
animal is called the aardwolf and
doubtless dwells in South Africa, be-
cause, judged by his looks, he would

Near Leeds is a summer house made
wholly of buttons of every imaginable
kind, and in the same county is a
room the walls of which are adorned
entirely by the ribbons of cigars, near
sly 10000 of these being represented.
From garnet to basement in the large
house of a Leeds mineral water manu-
facturer is gigantic scrapbook, ev-

A north country banker living near
Wakefield has great dining room the
whole of the walls of which are the
wooden and iron doors of eminent cas-
ties and historic buildings, and at Lis
card, in Cheshire, is a room that con-
tains hundreds or picture frames made
of every imaginable substance, from
leather to tigers bones, one frame be-
ing placed within another according to
size so that the whole surface is COW
cred with frames.
In Liverpool is room--that of a
dentist whose grandfather occupied
the same premises that contains many

of honey.
If those hives had been nearly
empty" said the Apiarist, Il would

''That's strange" said the visitor.

CAPT. GREBLE'S INJURIES.
Both Legs Broken During Artillery
Drill at West Point.

Adjutant General Corbin has received a
telegram from Col. Mills, superintendent of
the Military Academy, saying that Captain
Edwin St. ]. Greble, Artillery Corps, was
seriously injured during artillery drill a.
the academy last Saturday. He says that
both of Captain Greble's legs were broken
below the knee, the right leg in two places
and the left in one. The fractures are
clean, however, and the attending surgeon
expresses the belief that he will pull through
all right.
During the drill a horse attached to one
of the guns became unmanageable and Cap
tan Greble ordered Cadet Collins of Chicago
who was riding him, to dismount and took
his place. By so doing he saved Collins,
for the horse dashed over an embankment
pulling two other horses and the gun after
him. The gun rolled over Capt. Greble break
Ing both his legs below the knee and other
wise injuring him. 1t is now believed that
Captain Greble will recover from his inju-
ries and be ready for service again in two
months

INJURIES TO THE ILLINOIS.
Official Inquiry Into Cause and Re
sponsibility Begun

Information has reached here that the
Official investigation to determine the cause
OF and responsibility for the accident to the
nagship Illinois in the harbor of Christiania
began today. The vessel now floats at nor
NAL draft, and the impression prevails that
her injuries are not so serious as was at
first supposed. A preliminary investigation
into the accident indicates that on account
of the displacement of a bolt in the steer
ing engine the latter became disabled as
the vessel was entering a narrow part of
the channel into Christiania harbor
The steering engine being out of control
from the deck. continued to run and put
the helm hard astarboard, tamming it
there.
Although the main engines were immedf-
ately backed at full speed and both an
chorS were let go, the ship struck bottom
After one anchor chain had parted the ship
backed off.
All the watertight doors having been
promptly closed. the water was confined TO
the forward compartments, which have
since been pumped out.
CHRISTIANIA, Norway, July 16.-The
United States battle ship Illinois, flagship of

TOO MANY DISCHARGES.
The President Issues Stringent Ordei
Regarding the Naval Service.

President Roosevelt has issued an iron
clad order TO prevent the continuation OF
what has grown up to be a serious matter
in connection with the discharge Of enlisted
men of the navy before the expiration of
their terms of enlistment. For a number
of years through political influence and
upon the appeals of parents or dependant
relatives, men who had enlisted i'm the navy
and grown tired of the service, procured
their discharge. The percentage of dis
charges on this account ran in some cases
over 80 per cent of the total. During the
last month about 35 per cent of the dis
charges were for causes other than those
due to expiration of enlistment term. When
this condition of affairs was presented TO
the President, upon the recommendation OF
the department he issued. the following
order:
No enlisted person in the naval service
of the United States shall be discharged
therefrom prior to the completion of his
term of enlistment, except for one of the
following causes: Undesirability. inaptitude,
physical or mental disability or unfitness.
In every case the recommendation for such
discharge must be made by the commanding
officer of the vessel on which the man may
be serving. Applications for discharge
which reach the department In any way
except through the commanding officers OF
vessels shall be, without exception, disre-
garded."

Of court which removed Fitchette from Of

taking. The convicted captain is now out
on bond, pending appeal proceedings. The
only policeman who has been dismissed
from the force as a result Of the current
municipal scandal is John Kong. on whose
testimony Fitchette was convicted. The
police officials are now Wrangling among
themselves. Charges of disorderly conduct
have been preferred against Fitchette for
his recent individual raid of the down town
resorts. When he is arraigned he will enter
charges against Capt. Krumweide for in
terfering with an officer, ,Fitchette averring
that he was acting under orders from
Mayor Ames when he was prevented from
continuing his personally conducted raids

sure that few Americans give a thought to
the west coast of Africa, and yet recent
trade statistics show that the field is prom
Using, as 1t is comparatively new. Compe-
tition is less severe than in many other
parts of the world, and the commerce is in

Business can be developed in this part
of the world by the establishment of a reg
uiar line of steamers between the Unit ed
States and the west coast of Africa via the
Canary Islands. and l have no doubt that
money invested In this way would give good
returns. If bi-monthly or monthly line
were inaugurated 1 feel confident that the
vessels would receive full cargoes outward
and considerable freight homeward. They
would further receive compensation for the
carriage of mails. The passenger traffic
would also be considerable. The ports of

A New Material to Be Employed in
Plastic Art

According to United States Consul Free
man at Copenhagen, in a report to the
State Department. a new material for plas-

is called '"Terralit," and was invented by
Ivar Hjort of Copenhagen, who has expert
mented with it for the past two years. 1t
is produced by chemical process, which
for the present is of course, not made pub
lie. popularity of terralit is that it gives
the same color and appearance as the origi-
nal which it is sought to represent, whether
the original be copper, marble, bronze,
antique bronze, porcelain or ceramic ware.
An exhibit has recently been opened In
Copenhagen of forty or fifty of the most
celebrated ancient fand modern busts
statuettes and animal figures made of this
material. The consul says the representa-
tions of the bronzes are particularly sue
