Lincoln Institute Notes.

There is possibly no other school
of its size and character in the
country, the work and discipline
which received such constant and
patient supervision at the hands of
its administrative head, as is given
Lincoln Institute by President
Allen.
Rarely absent from the grounds
and buildings more than a few
hours at time, although calls for
his presence are numerous from
both without and within the state,
he gives great amount of time and
oversight not only to the work of
his special department-Pedagogy,
but also to the careful super
vision of the work of each depart
ment and keeping in personal touch
with the work of each instructor
creates aud stimulates in both
teacher and student that spirit of
friendly rivalry aud competition
which is the very soul of intelligent
progress in all lines of work, and
at all stages of symmetrical
development.
Possessed of untiriug energy
himself, and capable of a vast
amount of work in the course of
twenty four hours, he is persistent
ly and surely bringing Lincoln
Institute to the front as school
that stands for exceptionally high
grade scholarship, careful and
conscientious endeavor, on the
part of both teachers and students.
Extensive preparation is being
made for the Thanksgiving dinner
and Miss Sprague of the Depart.
ment of Domestic Science is moi
the only one whose face beams
with smiles.
A number of the members o1
the faculty have joined the French
Glass organized and taught by
President Allen and excellen
progress is being made IN the study

Concerning MIR. Brooks.

The State Tribune says: In one
way or another Crayton S. Brooks
has been Godsend to Missouri.
One may not approve his methods,
but the results are very much in
evidence. He may talk too much,
and he may say things that are term
ed impolitic, but some of the noise
he started in Jefferson City is still
reverberating like thunder in the
sky. We do not attempt to vouch
for the correctness of his charges
against any individuals, but the fact
that interests the public most is that
Brooks has hit many red hot trail.
The thousand dollar bills which he
so dramatically exposed from his
pulpit last winter are still in the air,
chased about by grand juries, States
attorneys and circuit courts, with a
very fair chance that some may be
safely landed.
Mr.. Brooks has been confirmed.
He has been criticised, to be sure,
but for what? For saying things that
others have not had the nerve to say.
He has done the dirty work. Others
did notiwant to do it, but it had to
be done, in the interest of decency,
law and order. He is most largely
responsible for the improvement In
local conditions. He stirred the
depths of legislative corruption. He
was the pioneer Doodle fighter.

Constant a coming minister of for
eign affairs.
While the writer admits the Ameri-
can women have acquired influential
social positions abroad through brill
liant marriages, he does not consider
all such unions dangerous. But the
new aspirations toward diplomatic al
liances I'LL him with alarm, as Ameri-
can women now know the secrets of in
ternational relations and are working
for the benefit of their own country.
a friend of the president Of the United
States, he says, recently said: DO
not worry over the Venezuelan situa-
tion-Our women are working for us"
This mysterious speech, the writer
says, is explained when one remem-
bers that the wives of the English,
French and German ambassadors, the
three diplomats concerned in the Ven
ezuelan affair at Washington, are all
American women.
If, the writer continues, one were to
make list of all the American women
married to attaches and minor govern
ment officials with a future before
them in foreign countries, one would
be astonished. He is more alarmed at
the entry of American women into in
ternational affairs than at the dOings
Of the American trusts abroad. He eEi-
IDENTIFY considers Mime. Yankee" eapa-
BILE of everything, q match for the
worlds best diplomats.
Helleu, the French artist, who has
returned from America, says that the
portraits of the women he sketched
while in America will fill a room at the
salon, and has asked to have one placed
at his disposition for a beauty dis
play" What impressed him the most
was that it was impossible to tell from
the appearance Of an American woman
to what position in society she be-
longed.

GREAT MANS TEN NOSES.
Were MADE Of silver to Supply the
Place of the Natural Organ
Lost In q Duel.

In his lecture before the last
meeting of the Chemical Society of
Washington upon the Old Chemical
Society Of Prague, Bohemia, organ
lied during the middle ages, under
the reign of Rudolph II, DR.. h. Car
ringtOn Bolton had occasion to call
attention TO the somewhat we'll
known fact that Tycho Brahe, who,
by the way, was a member of this,
the earliest chemical society of Eu-
rope, wore a silver nose. It appears
that when a young man the great
astronomer fought a duel IN which
he had the misfortune to lose that
important member and was obliged
to wear a silver one instead, says the
Washington Post.
This" DR.. Bolton stated, 'she was
in the habit of removing at night
when he slept, and one night his
favorite dog managed to gain pos
session of his masters silver nose,
which, after he had played with it all
night long, was of very little service
the day following. Tycho was in
great distress the next morning
when, after an hour search, he
found his precious nose battered and
chewed out Of all shape and service.
In, order, therefore, to avoid future
accidents Tycho hied him TO the sill
versmith's and had ten silver noses
made in place of the one. One Of
these" said DR.. Bolton, was pre-
served in one of the museums of Ger
many until the beginning of the
nineteenth century when, by some
mishap, it disappeared and thus far
has not been recovered"

AMAZING STATISTICS.


PROBABLY very few people who Hv,

mendous monetqry force welded NV
the insurance companies Of the United
states. The amount Of money that
these concerns handle Is enormoDs
says Success. One may read that ~
present the 81 leading life insurance
companies of the United States hold Sc
eurities of all kinds that aggregate
more than 1,5OO, OOO. 900. Imagination
fails to grasp such figures. Its eouiva-

Eested.
Striking as these figures are. they do
net include the holdings of the lesser
insurance companies, and they nav
no heed TO the money controlled by the
little multitude of large and small fire
insurance companies.
OF course, the bulk of the money heI6
by an insurance company has TO be in
vested; that is to say, every dollar not
needed for running expenses and for
the prompt payment of claims. 1t is
like fairy tale of finance when one
reads what use is made Of the millions
on millions paid to insurance compan-
les.
During the year 1901, for example,
the total of the incomes of the 81 lead
ing life insurance companies was some
thing like S576,OOO,O 900. OF this money
about s17s,OOOOOO was paid to policy
holders or to their heirs. More than

ton many cures are effected. Itis so
easy to obtain hot water in these DAYS
Of gas ranges that many a severe Il

is only given in time.
There Is nothing so promptly cuts
snort congestion of the lungs or sore

Is TO apply il in time, and then TO be
thorough in the application.
FOR a toothache or neuralgia hot
waterwin usually afford prompt relief.
A towel folded several times and
dipped into scalding hot water, and
then wrung out, should be laid upon
the painful part. The same treatment
acts like magic in applying the heated
towel to the stomach for collie.

the simultaneous application of hot

THE AMERICAN WOMAN.
French writer Says she Plays = Msst
Important Part In shaping

A new role is attributed to the Amer
lean woman by a writer In the Paris
Gil Bias. In letter from New York
he says American women are no longer
content with the money their husbands
have toiled to make, but aspire TO pow
er, and are entering q new ield-dt-
plomacy. THE title Of ambassador"
says the writer, lis now worth as

can woman, and that Of attaehe IL

he finds that American women, while
they marry foreign diplomats, never
cease working for the interests Of the
land Of their first affections.
He takes the American woman seri-
Ously and as a power, and goes on to
note the position she holds to-day. In
