London, June 25-Sir Francis Knoll
lys said at 7:15 this evening the king
continued to improve, and everything is
going on satisfactorily.
London, June 25.-Anxious suspense
over the condition of King Edward
VII. is shared, as is evidenced by the
shoals of kilograms from abroad, by the
whole civilized world, hardly will be
much lessened by the bulletin issued by
the attending physicians at 10:30 this
morning. Earlier unofficial reports had
been more favorable than the official
medical pronouncement. They spoke of
the king as having passed a good night
with peaceful rest, and the announce
ment of his majesty's restlessness and
lack of sleep are regarded by the gem
altho the court officials profess salts
faction. Absence of all mention OF the
patients temperature causes comment,
altho, probably, the statement that up
to the present. mo untoward symptoms
have presented themselves" is intend
ed to indicate there has been no dam
gerous rise in temperature.
In medical circles the opinion is ex-
pressed that, in the phrase just quoted.
the surgeons are saying all they posi-
bly, can. In fact, the whole meaning of
the bulletin is concentrated therein, rest
being purely corollary thereto.
Thruout the morning the vicinity of
the palace was invaded by seekers after
information. Curiously a cosmopolitan
crowd gathered about the ratings
awaiting the morning bulletin and di-
rectly after it was posted there was
great scramble to read its contents.
The princes of Wales arrived just as
the bulletin was being issued. Lord
Lister, who came directly from the
kings apartment, after having assisted
in drawing up the bulletin, left shortly
afterwards and the more cheerful ex-
preston apparent in his face was TAX
en- as an idication that ne was salts
fled with the condition of the patient.
Callers continued to arrive in great
numbers thruout the morning. Among
the earliest distinguished personages
were Lord Salisbury, Arch Duke Fran
els of Austria and Duke of Norfolk.
The Duke of Cambridge, who arrived
later had previously presented a set of
celors to the MiddleseX regiment, ad-
dressing which he said the kings i'll
ness was very grave blow. and a very
trying one, but, he added, he was very
glad to be able to speak hopefully of
the progress made by his majesty, be-
cause he had received favorable news
from those in attendance upon the king.
Private information from Bucking
ham palace substantially bears out the
official bulletin issued at 1890, except
that the king had rather a worse night
than was indicated therein.

Professionalism in Germany.

A German friend of mine Che is some
what of a humOrist) was bantering me
about the notorious aversion Of Aneri-
cans to walking, and he remarked that
he had heard it said that the average
American did not Walk more than q mile
a day. Of course [ resented this gross
libel. and l asserted that the average
American Thought nothing OF starting
out for d walk Of five miles. ! cited
with good deal Of pride the hahitual
practice Of Julian Hawthorne of taking
mere stroll of twenty or thirty miles
Whenever he has few moments to de-
vote to exercise. spoke, too, of your
townsman, Mr.. Slason ThoIpscH, editor
Ct The America, who is in the habit of
walking ten miles Il day and running fif-
teen or twenty more.
Ny friend thcreupon became personal.
and ventured to intimate that could
not walk five lniies. Of course | accept
ed the challenge implied, and, peacefully
dodderingim5ccile that I was, I actually
walked for four consecutive hours before
LEARNED (upon demonstrating with my
humorous friend) that a German mile
was equal to four and a half English
miles, and that in order to accomplish
the feat I hal undertaken | should have
to cover twenty-five and a half miles.
Germany would be veritable para
disc, methinl1s, for Julian Hawthorne
and Slason Thompson. They would be
elected to the reichstag at the first con-
gressional election. - Eugene Field in

Drink Your Soda Slowly.

Good soda should be slipped. Quickly
drinking off the etfervescenca, which is
merely foam, an interval OF a minute or
two should be allowed before the last
half of the glass is taken. Clerks should
know this, ard give customers time
without warning by looks or actions that
they are expected to leave in the shortest
possible order after boiling their soda
and paying for it. A glass of soda so
taken is Il refreshing stimulus, better
than food il very hot noon, but tossed
off as most people take it is recipe for
cramps or indigestion.
If it is poor soda, tasting of metal with
the silver worn off, or standing in silver
too long, favored with sirups made from
oranges or lemons whose musty taste is
plain to all refined palates, the less one
takes the better for life and health.
Girls who serve the cheap fountains
al fancy stores we'll know this from ex-
perience, and the old hands rarely touch
soda themselves. The girls behind the
counters who depend on soda to keep up
their strength through the close days in
lure their digestion by it, and perhaps
owe more of their sudden indispositions
to it than they imagine.-Shirley Dare
in New York Herald.

Information for the Boy.

The instruction that nursemaids are
able to impart to the greedy young
minds that are given into their charge is
truly fearful and wonderful. AS a
Coney Island boat was passing the Bar
tholdi statue 5-year-old youngster was
moved to ask the Milesian lady who at
tended him:
"W'ot's that, Jane?'
''That's Liberty" quoth Jane.
"W'ot's Liberty" he asked again.
"W'y, Just Liberty. Don't you know
w'ot Liberty is:'
sW'ots Liberty" he insisted.
"W'y, you goose" instructed his
teacher, Liberty is-w'y its-Free-
dom. And now you know, don't you:"
And of course he did. Just wait until
somebody ass him.
There was more of the same kind from
the same source.
"Wot's those, Jane:" he asked again,
with significant finger at the life pre-
servers overhead.
"Them's life preservers," said Jane.
"W'ot are they for:''
"Theyre for when you fall in the
water and set drowned" she informed
him, land when you do they make you
float
"After you're drowned?" asked the
boy.
ooh, yes. l do wish you'd keep still
and not ask so many questions, you bad
boy"
But he didn't.-New York Evening

Oh "Wagener Day" NAV 22d.

The South Carolina Iuter. State
and Wes' Indian Exposition will
have but three more weeks of stirring
existence. Born of the far seeing
enterprise CT a few patriotic men,
nursed to maturity by their unceas-
ing toll and self sacrifice, in the face
of a thousand obstacles, and in spite
of doubt and criticism to those
familiar with its broad scope and
minute detail, its architectural gran
deur and it's infinite variety of ex
hibits, its scant treasury and its
abundant achievement III all that
constitutes au Exposition, it is the
marvel of the Industrial history of
our country. Even its projectors
dreamed not of so great al achieve
ment. They builded far better than
they knew, but progressed step by
step to completion of what is un-
doubtedly the greatest Exposition
the South has ever known, and con-
sidered from the standpoint of
money invested and results accom-
plished, the greatest the world has
ever seen. The proof is easy.
IN few days this great exponent
of industrial progress will pass into
history, the exhibits will be scattered
to the four quarters of the earth,
and the beautiful buildings removed.
ThUse who have not seen it should
not miss the opportunity of their
lives, those who have, should see it
again. 1t cannot be seen too often.
The remaining weeks are full of
special days." conspicuous among
them Odd Fellows Day, May 13;
West Indian Day, May Is, and last
but not least "Wagener Day." May
%, designated IN honor of the Presi
dent of the Company, who by his
unfaultering zeal and liberaIity has
given fruition to the plans of bis
company. Every South Carolinian,
every man who loves good patriotic
citizen should be- on the exposition
grounds on "Wagener Day." and
show 1T least some faint recognition
of the work one man has done.
The railroads have made the low
est rates for ''WageDer Day. that
has ever beeu made on any occasion,

Where Mr.. Curtis Learned to Write.

Where Mr.. Curtis Learned to Write.
Whatever my style Of writing may be,
it is the result of natural selection and
not of special design. The first author
who interested me deeply after "Robin-
son Crusoe" and the usual children's
books of fifty or sixty years ago was
Washington Irving. Then came Walter
Scott and Charles Lamb, Keats, Shelley
and Wordsworth, then Bacon and Ener-
son, Burke and Carlyle, Thackeray and
Hawthorne But rhetoric Or compost
ton have never studied. Ny long con-
nection with the press has been Of the
utmost service to me as writer. For
many years | have been the chief editor
ial writer upon Harper's Weekly, a
paper which takes part in political dis
cussion, and the necessity OF making my
self intelligible to the rapid reader in a
comparatively short space has been prob
ably the best training could have had.
Fortunately | have no taste for what
seems to me the frequent extravaganza
of newspaper writing, and therefore |
have easily avoided it. Every young
writer should remember that bigness is
not greatness, nor fury force.-George
William Curtis.

The exposition During the Month OF May

The Southern Railroad, the At.
lantic Coast Line, and the Plant
System have arranged to continue
the sale of the cheap Tuesday tickets
to the Exposition, as sold during the
month of May. This will enable all
who have not yet visited the Exposi
tion to do so during its closing
month, and those who have visited
it, to again take advantage of the
low rate offered, as many will un
doubtedly do.
There has been a great deal said
through the columns of the papers in
regard to the Exposition, and its
many attractive features. There is
one, however, that as been almost
entirely overlooked or, ignored by all
correspondents, and probably from
the fact that its location is such as
not to attract general attention.
Reference is made to the Grass Gar
den of the U. S. Agricultural De
partment, which consists of four
acres of ground, and is located just
east of the encsmpment of the
Marine Corps. Every farmer who
visits the Exposition, should visit
this garden. Here are to be found
. growing over fifty different speci
mems of forage crops suitable fer our
Southern suns, as we'll as wheat, rye,
snd barley of many kinds. The
seeds of the different forage crops
referred to have been gathered from
Egypt, Africa, China, Ireland, Scot
land, England, Australia and many
other countries. The representative
of the Agricultural Department in
charge of the garden is practical far
mer, and can give the visitor full in
formation regarding each and every
species of the crop, and it can be
said to every farmer, if he can spare
time to cvme down, even if he spends
only one day at the Exposition, let
him carefully study these forage
crops, get a list of such as ne wants
to use, and he will be ten times re
paid for the expense of the trip, and
for the time he may think he is
losing from his farm.
