SOUP FOR HEADACHE

The very latest fad is the soup cure
for sick headache. One woman re-
Gently got the idea that hot fluid
would give her stomach a job and
draw the surplus blood from her
throbbing head and thus end the
ache. She tried it, Success. She
told it and others found relief. Then
an innovator substituted nice pala-
table clam soup for plain hot water
and there you are.

RESULT OF BEING OUT OF STYLE

Chicago, Feb. 22.-Bessie Leslie's
hustle involved her into trouble in a
Chicago police court. Bessie was ar
rested on complaint of Frank Engle,
who said he had been robbed of $75.
Bessie was astonished at the charges
preferred against her, end told the
police all the money she had in her
possession was in her purse, which
was IS cents. The woman was about
to be released when the police ma
iron found the money in the woman's
hustle. Justice Hall held her to the
grand jury and warned her against
wearing bustles when they were not
in fashion.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


CHINESE DISCOVERED Us
A well-known New York publish
ing firm has announced that new
Encyclopedia of United States His
tory" covers the history of this coun-
try from 1853 A. ID. to 1902, Some peo-
pie have been puzzled by the first
date, 1853, and have written to inquire
what portion of American history
was begun at that remote period.
This is natural inquiry, say the
publishers, as many people are not
aware of we'll authenticated early
voyages of Buddhist priests, made in
efforts to obey the command Of
Buddha to spread his gospel over all
lands. AS the route from Asia to
America, along the Kurile and Aleu-
tian islands to Alaska, is obviously
a practical one, it is easy to believe
early Chinese historical documents
W Which describe such a journey, espe-
cially as these documents are con-
filmed by constantly discovered Am
erican antiquities. A Chinese Budd-
hist missionary, Hui Shen, of Cabul,
has left a narrative in Chinese his
tory of his voyage to the land of Flu
sang, the name by which it appears
that America was known to the Chi
neSe.

KAISER WILHELM In LOVE-

A Berlin correspondent writes that
Germans of all ranks have been
sorely troubled for many months
and unable to understand why their
kaiser has shown so little sympathy
with Kruger. Now they think that
they know all. Their kaiser has fall
len in love, they whisper, with an
English lady whose name they pro
fess to know, and who married Il
German subject of the highest rank.
They are satisfied that the kaisers
heart and not his head has turned
him against the Beers.

SECRET NIGHT BURIALs-

A tall iron fence with sharp prongs
is to be erected around Lake Mound
cemetery at Zion City near Wauke-
gan, ILL.,, to stop alleged secret night
burials of Dowieites, which, it is
said, have been going on for some
time. Dowie bought several lots,
and members of his flock have been
buried at night and without notice to
the cemetery officials. Unannounced
burials will be prevented by sex
ton who will keep the gates locked
at night and demand the name and
particulars of death of all taken
there for interment.

THE "DIPLOMAT" A 7


THE DIPLOMAT" A TYPEWRITER
That woman diplomatist reported
promoted turns out to be a typewri-
ter whose salary has been raised. A
dispatch went the rounds a few days
ago reading: "Paris, Feb. I'm.
Delcasse, foreign minister, has ap-
pointed Mile. Jeanne de Villaneuve
to be secretary of legation at the
French consulate in New York city.
The new diplomatic officer has been
in the service nine years. She be-
longs to an old family of Provence.
She is the only woman in modern
times to be appointed to a post III the
French diplomatic service" These
tidin.,s were noted by every woman's
league and suffrage society in the
nation. Old conservative France
had recognized the political qualifi-
cation of woman. There does not
happen to be any such Office as sec
rotary of legation in New York city,
where the chief French diplomatic
agent is Consul-General Edmund
Brunwaer; nevertheless there is a
Mile. de Villaneuve, who is his type
writer, and said to be the only diplo-
matte clerk in New York who can
take dictation in French. All that
has happened is that Miss Villaneuve
has had her salary increased from
$50 month to $50.

HENS EGGS FOR COINS.

In some parts of Peru-for example in
the province of Jauja-hens' eggs are
circulated as small coins, forty to fifty
being counted for dollar. In the market
places and in the shops the Indians make
most of their purchases with this brittle
sort of money. One will give two or
three eggs for brandy, another for indigo,
and a third for cigars. These eggs are
packed in boxes by the shopkeepers and
sent to Lima. From Jauja alone several
thousand loads of eggs are annually for
warded- to the capital.
