Women In Prison.

The woman in prison is despoiled
OF her fine feathers. The complete
modification of that harmless sort
of vanity which fills so much of a
woman's life makes her durance
doubly vile. Her hair is shorn of
its last lock, while the face that
gazed with perfect passivcness at
the judge who sentenced her is rails
ed IN plteous protest. When the
hair grows longer again there is
grumbling because thoughtless ad-
mlnlstration provides no hairpins.
pne woman skinned the fat from
her broth after it had cooled to gilt
ter her crown Of glory, an attendant
relates. One girl, envied to the point
Of madness, certainly rouged. Final
ly her secret was out. She had
drawn some red threads from her
skirt, chewed them to extract the
color and used it ON her lips and
checks. The most oppressive pen
ance is lack of mirrors. Still there
are no male hearts around to break.

the dissemination of disease
Kitasato and other japanese scien.
lists, have found that feas, bed
bugs and flies are active factors in
spreading the plague. As the
cockroach is omnipresent, his role,
as respects disease, if any, must
be important. Miss Engelmann in
1902 made an investiga lion of n
house epidemic of typhoid in Chi
cago. The disease was raging in
a high-class apartment in one of
the best neighborhoods, where
many cases had occurred. Near
it was like apartment house where
no cases occurred. The cause of
the presence OF the fever in the
one house and not in the other was
simply, it is urged, that the one
was infested withcockroaches while
the other was not. The vermin

Climatic Cures

The influence Of climatic conditions IN
the cure OF consumption is very much
oVerdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, TOO, can do much better al
home by proper attention to food diges-
tion, and regular use Of Gen man Syrup.
Free expectoration In the morning is
made certain by German Syrup; 80 ls a
good nights rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and facilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhsus
ton due to coughing, the greatest dan,
ger and dread Of the consumptiw. can be
prevented or stopped By taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able 10 60 TO q warmer cline, you

HIS BETROTHED.
An Experience of Fredrika Bremen In
America.

An Experience of Fredrika Bremen In
America.
When Fredrik Bremen, the Swed.
ISh novelist, Was travelling in Amer
lea she took the liberty of talking
with all kinds of strangers and ask
ed kindly but very personal ques-
tons. One day in going from New
| York to Washington, says Lippin-
colts Magazine, she sat beside a
young mechanic, and in her desire
Of obtaining information began to
question him:
what is your name?"
jonathan Brewster, num-"
GLOW old are you?"
Gust twenty-four, num-"
Are your parents hving"
'No, num-"
care you married ?"
'No, num-"
"What work do you do~
81 am bricklayer, num-"
GLOW much do you make at your
trader"
"Two dollars a day, num-"
"You do not drink, l hoper"
mo, mum; I'm teetotal."
Then, to her amusement, tho
young workman turned about and
put the same questions to her. She
answered them with the greatest
frankness and good nature, and at
Philadelphia. where she was to stop
over, she left him. That day after
Inner a waiter came to her in the
MOTEL with the information that q
ioung man wanted to see her.
81 know no one here" said she.
There must be some mistake" "
"Ile says he came over with YOU
rom New York. His name is Jon. |
than Brewster"
"Oh" laughed the lady. "NNell,
GU may tell him | am tired, and he
eally must excuse me-"
Presently the waiter was back
gain.
"Miss Bremen" said he, chat
Dung chap won't go. He says you
ever could have tried to send him
way, for you want to marry him.
lie says you asked him about his
circumstances and told him you
ere single and that you made lot
money So he thinks he'd rather
We in Sweden with rich wife than

Considerable.

A well known New York clergy
man had habit at one time of con-
dltioning his actions with the phrase
Dec yolente," or "God willing" or
something of the sort. An old wo-
man, the head of an aristocratic
family, invited him to dine. 81 shall
be delighted to accept" he said, "if
! am spared"
Perhaps the woman thought she
smiled cant in the terminal phrase,
for she said quickly, ooh, if you're
dead ! promise not to expect you"

"Drummers" Fast Disappearing

The days OF the old-time drum.
mer are numbered. Even as the
prairies and the buffalo succumbed
to advancing civilization, the COM
mercial traveller is vanishing be-
fore the advancing trusts. The
members of this species are grow
ing fewer and fewer, and the day
of what practically will be the
final extinction is not far off.
From the ranks of the few remain
ing drummers of commerce goes
up the cry, "The trusts did it!
Who does not remember the
drummer of yore, dapper, confident,
suave and thoroughly at ease in
office or desert? AS gallant, as
hardy in his search for a new
country, he iourneyed over this
broad land to the boundaries of
East, North, South and West, the
private of industry, making it
possible by his work, andbuilding
with his hands the Frankensteins
which have been his undoing.
The drummers Of today are
different class of men. They are
more in keeping with the size of
the capital invested in the trust or
syndicate they apprenticeship, i'm
portant-looking. The firms they
represent in many instances having
a monopoly of the goods they man
ufacture, their attitude is take
it or leave it, just as you choose;
if you want it you are obliged to
buy of u.s." There is no need of
the playing on human nature as
though it were a musical instru-
ment; there is little rivalry. The
1rummers of yesterday are the
clerks of today, living in dreams
If their former glory.

ROOM AT THE TOP
Places of Trust and Honor Held
by Young Men
baltimore Sun, Oct. sSfh.

baltimore San, Oet ssyA.
The successor of Rear-Admiral
Bowles as Chief Constructor in the
United States Navy is Virginian
who has not yet reached his for
tieth year. This is proof that the
man who has real ability will
climb to the top of the ladder, re-
gardlese of considerations of age
or section. 1t is stated in Wash
ington dispatch that Commander
Capps, who will succeed Admiral
Bowles, was promoted over the
heads of six officers in the Con-
struction Corps. That does not
necessarily involve an injustice to
any of these officers. The post of
Chief Naval Constructor is one Of
great responsibility, and the man
who fills it should be appointed
solely with view to his qualifi-
cations and not with regard to the
time which he has spent in the
naval service. Commander Capps
is to be congratulated upon the
Governments recognition of his
ability. "His appointment" it
is explained in a Washington dis
patch to the Sun, "is regarded as
another evidence Of the policy of
President Roosevelt to select
young and energetic men to fill
the highest positions in the army
and navy. The President is a
young man himself-yesterday he
celebrated his forty-ffth birthday
and his prediction for youth |
can readily be understood. On the
whole, the policy is a sound one. |
The Government should avail it.
'elf of the services of the best
men, regardless of age. If Com
nander Caps qualifications for
he position to which he has been
were superior to those
# the other members of his corrs
lis selection was entirely in accord
Nth the merit principle. Neither
ne naval nor the military service
'ill suffer ifthis principle is rigidly
nforced at all times.
