KRUGER'S LIFE AT UTRECHT.
Newspaper Correspondent Says He Is
More Ph1egmatic and Taciturn
Than Ever.

Cabling from Utrecht, the London
staff correspondent of the New York
Tribune says there is no decline in
the popularity of former President
Kruger, although he lives in seclusion
and is seldom seen outside his villa in
this small factory town. He is sur
rounded by swarm of relatives ana
Boer exiles, sees few visitors, and is
more phlegmatic and taciturn than
ever. He is unmanageable in money
matters, and so deliberate and eau
tious in expressing his opinion and
judgment respecting South African al
fairs, that he is seldom consulted by
the other Boer leaders. DR.. Leyds is
received as the diplomatic representa-
| tive of the South African Republic and
allowed to display his full uniform on
state occasions at The Hague. MT
Kruger is a private citizen, living IN
| exile, and is not encouraged to VISIT
the capital or appearf in public. Yet
he is reverenced throughout the Meth
| erlands as hero.
| Mr.. Kruger is unmistakably aging
the dispatch concludes, as his follow
ers admit. His heart action is better
than it was and his general health mas
improved during his residence neal
| Utrecht. but his mind has grown dul
and his grim humor has disappeared
He remains the central figure OF the
group of Boer refugees, because his
personality is still unrivaled.

A Nasty Practice.

A nasty practice is what the Chicago
Inter Ocean calls the pasting of repeated
layers of wall paper, one upon another, thus
covering up the filth and germs of disease
that may be propagated in the very, abb
sorbent and decaying mass of flour paste,
paper, animal glue, colors, etc. i.
They give opinions of eminent health OF
fcers and sanitarians, urging that such
practice should be stopped by legal enact,
ment, and also take occasion to say that
these sanitarians recommend Alabastine
as durable, pure and sanitary coating for
walls.
The Inter Ocean says: "This is very
important question, and, as it costs moth
ing to avoid this danger, why take any
chances?"
How much of the alarming spread Of
smallpox and other diseases may be due te
unsanitary wall coverings?

FLOATING TOWER FOR FAIR.
x.1 structure Planned to Aid Visi-
tors to st. Louis Exposition In
Seeing the Sights.

DR.. E. Parmly Brown, OF New
York. has submitted to the st. Louis
exposition management, through
Adolphus Busch, a proposal to erect
a floating tower 1000 feet hlgher
than the famous Eiffel tower and
costing $4,000. His idea is being IA
vorably considered. Sketches OF the
invention show narrow column OF
steel cables standing in substan-
TALLY perpendicular position 2'ooo
feet in the air. captive balloon 100
feet in diameter is held in place by
these central cables. In other words,
the balloon would support the cables.
An observation platform of alumni
;um and bamboo is suspended below
tbe balloon, to be reached by two
elevator cars. The balloon will be
constructed of fireproof material to
guard against danger of being struck
bv lightning. Six thousand persons
could ascend the tower to the obser-
vation platform each day. The charge
will be two dollars for each person

Lord spcnccr's Bargain.

Lord Spencer of Althorp, one of the
greatest of book collectors, was at
home only in his own field. One day
in browsing about Bond street, Lon
don, he went into the shop of dealer
in bric-a-brac. The dealer, who knew
him by sight, said persuaslvely:
Here Is a fine bit of pottery which
your lordship really ought to have, and
you shall have IL very cbeap-only 2
gulneas."
SO Lord Spencer bought 1t and took
it home and set it in high place. One
day connolsseur of china paid him
visit, and Lord Spencer showed his
bargain.

THE GIANTS cAUsEWAY.

Formation aud Appearance of THIS
Odd Freak of Nature.
The Giants causeway is situated ut
the northern extremity of County An
trim, short distance from Port Rush,
Ireland. 1t consists Of countless hosts
of basaltlc pillars, varying in shape
from a pentagon to an octagon, the av-
erage length of each column or pillar
being about eighty feet, the whole
stacked so closely together that a knife
blade could hardly be inserted between
them. But the formation of these pill
lars Is not the least wonderful part
about them, for, although they may be
counted by thousands aud tens OF
thousands, each column is fashioned
with symmetry that suggests ma
sons handiwork. Their composition is
q perfect fusion of one-half flinty earth,
one-quarter lime and clay, one-quarter
almost pure iron, each pillar being di-
vided into regular lengths or joints
which come together as perfect, nat
ural ball and socket union.
Although to be found in small de-
tachments Embedded in the cliffs,
sands, etc) for some distance along the
shore, the principal aggregations form
Ing the causeway proper consist of
three projections or tongues known as
little, middle and grand causeways.
These singular columns are of different
lengths and present an astonishing ap-
pearance as they stand, an army of at
least 10000 strong marshaled on the
shores of Erin as If ever ready to do
battle with the rising tide.

Street Etiuuette.

In meeting a lady in a public thor
oughfare in America gentleman al
ways waits for her bow of recognition
before lifting his hat or addressing
her. In Europe, however, the contrary
is the established rule, 1t being the
gentleman's place to bow first, when,
IL the lady desires not to recognize
him, she ignores his salutations, thus
giving the cut direct. 1t is not good
form in any place for lady to stop a
gentleman in the street for the pur-
pose of chatting with him, though she
may with perfect propriety pause to
speak If he take the initiative. Pro-
longed talks in the street are not, how
ever, considered good form, even be-
tween persons Of the same sex. the
better plan being to walk on slowly
until the conversation is concluded

why Coughing Is Weakening.

The amount of energy expended in
coughing is very considerable. Indeed
one of the patient statisticians for
which Germany is renowned has cal
culated that a patient who coughs once
every quarter of an hour for ten hours
expends energy equivalent to 250 units
of heat, which may be translated as
equivalent to the nourishment con-
tained in three eggs or two glasses of
milk. In normal respiration the air is
expelled from the chest at the rate OF
four feet per second, whereas in yio-
lent coughing it may attain velocity
of 800 feet.
