And Now Il Is Wall Paper.

"Wall papers are unhealthy" said a
physician. "They destroy the porous
ness of walls. If l had my way
whitewash would be used all over
the world. Wall paper closes our
walls pores, and thus, to a certain ex-
tent. does us harm. Walls, you see.
should be porous, like our clothes,
like our skin. Clog up the pores OF
our skin and we die. Close up the
pores of our clothes and we would
soon discard them, for they would be
insufferable. But we are used TO the
clogging of our walls pores, and there
fore we no longer notice the inconveni-
ence of It. Some people argue that
wall papers are porous. My answer
is that they may be porous when they
are new, but as soon as they get damp
the pores fill up, and once filled there
is no way to open them again. Have
porous walls, l say, and, to have them,
substitute for wall paper whitewash."

Inauguration in Washington, and did
not seem unduly formal, but I read in
some of the newspapers the next day
a criticism of the formalities incident
to the opening of the Congress and
suggestion that it would be enough to
transmit the message by a secretary.
The evolution of the CHILEAN Con-
gress may be seen in a single square
of ground. The brick walls of the
early building are still standing.
Close by is the substantial structure
In which is housed the national library,
with extensive and valuable collee-
lions Of Colonial archives Of rare vol
umes of Spanish.American history.
Across the way is the really handsome
new Congress Building. erected almost
on the site of the Jesuit church, the
burning of which, with it's hundreds
of victims, was one of the world cataS-
trophies.
When it was explained to me that
the message was being read by Vice
President Barros LucO, a popularity
of the Chilean Constitution was dis
closed, though it is common to most
South American countries. The Presi-
dent actually can abdicate his author
ity and turn the functions of govern
ment over to the Vice-President. In
Chile there is the additional peculiar
ity that the Vice-President is not
elected. He comes from the Ministry
or Cabinet, and the Minister Of the In
terror heads the list. President Ries-
co had been i'll, and for two months
Minister Barros Luco had been dis
charging the Executive functions very
satisfactorily. The President was not
ready on the opening Of Congress to
resume his duties, but he did so a few
days later, and is now the responsible
head Of the Government.-From Chill

"reminiscences Of "crowIey."

In 1884 Mr. Smyth, United States
Consul at Liberia, brought to this
country a young chimpanzee, about
II months old, and sold him to the
Park Department for the cost OF
transporting him. AS he came first

Keeper Cook from the first, and IN
til his death they were the best Of
friends. he was very Intelligent and
I believe was as near human as an
animal could be. He would sit at q
table to eat, putting on a napkin and
using a knife, fork and spoon, when
necessary. When he finished he
would use the napkin, carefully fold
It up and lay it beside his plate.
About two weeks before he died a Sc
we're attack of pneumonia set in, and
DR.. Marsh, surgeon Of the park po-
lice, was called. Every morning
when the doctor entered the room he
would say, Good morning, Crowley"
and Crowley would get up to shake
hands. Then the doctor would say,
How are you this mornlng?" and
Crowley would grin. The doctor would
examine him and say, Your pulse,
Crowley" and Crowley would extend
his hand. Now your lungs" and
Crowley would throw back his arms
to allow the doctor to place his ear
to his breast. "And now your back,
Crowley" and he would turn his back.
He grew very feeble before death
and Cook stood by him from early
morning until late at night. Late In
the afternoon of the day he died Cook
held him in his arms for about an hour.
Cook put him down on the floor, and
Crowley raised himself up, put out his
hand to shake hands, as Cook said,
ITO bid him goodby," turned toward
the wall of his room and dropped dead.

Matrimonial Advice,

Mrs. Fred Dumont Smith, wife Of
the Kinsley editor and statesman,
gives some advice in her husbands
paper to girls who are contemplating
matrimony. Girls" she says
should refuse at all hazards the
man who proposes at dance. Often
in the glamour of the ballroom men
say what they wish unsaid in the
morning.
"At a picnic a girl may judge Of q
mans character because of the work
to be done in washing up, carrying
baskets, and opening bottles. 1t would
be quite safe to accept a proposal
made at one, especially if made be-
fore luncheon. -,
do not marry a man who writes
ideal letters. He Is invariably led
away by his imagination.
mo woman need fatter herself she
will ever either cure a drunkard or
enjoy being an old mans darling.
do not marry a dyspeptic, for he
will be insufferably disagreeable at
breakfast.

Snrawl and Sleep.

If you fear a sleepless night I'M
dress in the dark. Light stimulates
and arOuses the activities. Darkness
Is supposed to produce drowsiness.
Put some chopped ice in rubber bag
and place it at the lower extremity
of the spine. This is particularly
uuie ing to the nerves.
DO not use a pillow. Relax every
muscle as far Os possible. Sprawl
over the bed with arms and legs
stretched out. Take a sponge bath
with tepid water just before going to
bed Lie on your face instead Of
your back. That is the way the ba-
bies sleep, and their methods are
scarcely to be improved upon in this
particular. All pressure is removed
from the spine by this means, and q
delightful feeling of restfulness en-
sues. You will drop asleep immedi'

The Latest Partisan Scandals.

Paris is wrought up over the Ave-
nue. de Friedland scandals as no city
has been since London was Mortified
by the Pail Mall Gazette revelations.
The further the police probe the great
er the horrors that are revealed. The
interesting thing about it Is that
these revelations have given In
creased impetus to the campaign
against salacious literature, and espe-
cially against the many pictorial prints
that overstep all bounds Of decency.
The reaction against the modern"
spirit in French fiction and poetry has
become very strong during the last
few months, and the present scandal
will serve only to increase its strength.

is Owner Not Present When an Up
set Lamp Set Chicago on Fire
Were Out of Cream, and Thought
To Play Joke on an Old
Friend.

The memory of Mrs. Catherine
O'Leary, who, it has long been sup
posed, was concerned in the starting
of the Chicago fire, is now indicated
although her COW, long ago passed to
the shades, still stands convicted. OF
all the light that is now being thrown
on the history Of Chicago, none per
haps will be more interesting than
the history of how the O'Leary COW
was impelled to kick over the lamp
and start the blaze To the end of her
life Mrs. O'Leary asserted that she
was asleep in her bed when the first
alarm bells startled the jewellers in
DeKoven street. Her story was sub
stantiated by afIidavits Of herself and
her husband, but by the average Chi
cago citizen the legend Of Mrs.
O'Leary and the cow has been ac-
cepted.
In little house on the Northwest
Side Mrs. Mary Callahan, an alert lit
tie woman of 80 years, who on the
night of October 0, 1871, was one Of
a party of young people, told the
story of the starting of the fire and
the causes that lmpelled the partici-
pants in the affair to secrecy.
1T was the high spirits Of crowd
Of lads and girls who wanted to play
a joke on our old friend, Mrs.
O'Leary," said Mrs. Callahan, land
we were holding a party in the home
of Patrick Mclaughlin, which was in
front of the O'Leary home and barn,
at 1877 DeKoven street. Mrs. Nc
Laughlin set about getting tea, and
found that there were but few drops
of milk in the pitcher We knew
the O'Leary cow was in the shed in
the rear, and started for the milking
stable. l carried the lamp, and Den
ny COnnors said he would milk the
COW. Any of us girls could have
drawn milk in a minute, but there
must have been few COWS in the part
of ireland where Denny came from,
for he knelt down on the left side
of the COW to milk her In the dim
light I'll never know whether the COW
kicked or Denny fell over the stool,
but the lamp went over Every one
of us fought our best to keep down
the fire, but our efforts were hopeless
against the high wind and the dry
timbers."

Woman Kept Officers at Bay

After a desperate hand-tO-hand fight
over the possession of a loaded Spring
field rifle, Sheriff Kinney and Deputy
Glaza late this afternoon succeeded in
evicting Mrs. Amanda Ovenden from
her premises, from which she had for
a month kept railroad men, consta-
bles, police, and deputy sheriffs who
tried to lay lines for the Michigan Cen
trail across her property. With bayo-
net fixed the woman spent her time
in the doorway of her house and de-
fed court officers who tried to serve
writs. Sheriff Kinney this afternoon
surprised her outdoors and the wOm-
an won In race for the house, secur-
ing the gun. The sheriff grabbed it as
she pointed it at him, and a struggle
followed. She fought all the way to
the county Jail. She wore a regular
army belt, filled with cartridges, day
and night. The outfit belonged to a
nephew, who used it in Cuba during
tho Spanish war.-Bay City (Mich.)

given over to spectators, among WHOM
were number of ladies. Their pres

recent years. The acting President
and the members of the Cabinet were
seated on the raised chair or platform.
The message was delivered person

When the butter won

proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not

1t is like the penny in the

because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a mix or pure Goa liver OIL
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stOmaChs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted

The Coming Americans.

The American people can never lose
its English-Teutonil force and master
fitness; but the infusion of a measure
of Mediterranean and Alpine blood is
to make us more versatile intellectu-
ally. says Ivan G. Waterbury in the
World To-Day 1t will make us more
truly scientific by developing that
power of inductive research and OF
forming judgments by scientific
weighing of evidence which is declar-
ed to be correlated with mixture OF
bloods. Above all, it is to make US
more imaginative and gentler in our
thoughts and feelings; IN other words,
It is to quicken and develop in US the
artistic and poetic nature. Therefore,
not only will there be great achieve
ments in literature. music, painting,
sculpture and architecture by Ameri-
can individuals but also an artistic
public consciousness by which we shall
enjoy highly the beautiful things OF
life and be intolerant Of commercial
neglect and vandalism.

The Manchus themselves seem to
