was asked TO speak and he immedi
ately accepted. changing his plans, he
having contemplated leaving the city
before that date, and remaining over.
AS was to have been expected, his adj
dress was highly complimentary to a
"sister republic Speaking o this
same disposition to cultivate the United
States, it is worthy of note that news
has just been received from Germany
to the effect that Prince Henry Of
Prussia will make the st Lauis Expo
sition the occasion Of another visit to
this country and will be accompanied
this time by the German Crown
Prince.
Surprise has been expressed in some
quarters that such important affairs as
the recent negotiations with Russia, if
such they could be called, could 60 on
with the Presidenr and Secretary Of
State absent from Washington. The
fact is, however. that modern inyen-
ton has practically annihilated distance.
When the President goes to Oyster
Bay a private wire is leased for the
season so that he is always in close
touch with the executive departments
in Washington. The Russian state
ment was not issued until D a. m. A
newspaper correspondent who inquired
the occasion Of the delay, the state
ment being expected some hours soon
err, was told that the President had
been talking with Secretary Hay, who
was in Newport, over a long distance
telephone and communicating with
Secretaries Loomis and Adee by tele-
graph all evening and that it was after
midnight when the statement was
worded to their mutual satisfaction.
There has been really no important
development in the p%ostoffice investi-
gation during the past week although
postal affairs are still being probed.
The announcement by the Auditor of
the financial statement OF the Post
office for the fiscal year just ended is,
however, worthy Of notice. This. shows
that the deficiency for the year amounts
$4,617,2O3, as against $2,96l, ITO for
the year previous. OF course the in
crease in the deficiency is explained
by the officials as resulting from the
extension Of the rural free delivery
routes, but it is privately admitted that
with economical administration a large
portion Of this might have been saved.
even without curtailing the rural SER
vice. 1t is interesting to to learn in
this connection that Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristol has de-
termined to disregard political reasons
and opportunities Of congressman in
the establishment Of rural routes in the
future. Ii has been shown that where
conditions warrant the establishment of
a rural route, there is always a mater
ial increase in the postal receipts, but
it is now admitted that many routes
have been established where the con-
ditions did not warrant it and solely for
the purpose Of c~ultivating favor with
the congressman requesting it.

Hottest Place on Earth.

Between India and Africa lies the hottest place on earth. The Aval is lands cover a fairly extensive area ol the Persian gulf. lying off the south west coast of Persia, and it is the larg- est of them which enjoys the doubtful distinction of leading all perspiring competitors in the matter of heat. The mean temperature Of Bahrien for the entire year is 99 degrees. July, Au- gust and September ara unendSrable to all but the natives. Night after night, as midnight comes, the therGnometer shows 100 degrees. By in the morn jug it is 1O7 or 1CS, and by three in the afternoon 140.
 It is stated by veraCious travellers that 75O00 Arabs inhabit the Aval group, fully 25,C9O living on Bahrein, in which connection Sir Henry Layard adds: Tt would seem that man can accustom himself to anything

HER PARTING FAVOR.
But it Wasn't What the Small Boz
 Expected.

The morning of her wedding day she expressed d desire to have a con- fdential chat with her mIschevious little brother, and in expectation of some parting favor he readily follow ed her to a room where they could be alone.
 You have been very annoying at times. Earlie." she said by way of preface, but I suppose it is only natural that a boy of your age should be SO"
 They always are. sis" he replied promptly, "All the boys that have old CT sisters are just like me. It's half the fun of being boy and having a sister
 T suppose so." she returned thoughtfully. 'I don't know why it should be so, but I suppose it is I suppose a girl who is unfortunate enough to have a younger brother must expect to find him hidden behind the sofa when her best young man calls l suppose she must expect to have him suddenly bounce into the room With a whoop when she thinks him safely up stairs in bed. I suppose she might expect to have him turn d dark lantern on her when she is deep in conversation with a young man in the darkest corner Of q vine-covered porch in summer. At any rate,

PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SELF DEFEN S K
zsszzzzzz4=rz1 By Robert FitzsinmOns

1 walking and swinging of the clubs 1 supplies exercise for the entire body. Women, play golf! ! Of course. you can OVerdO it. Women differ so much in their physical make up /that what is medicine for one is poison for another. For this reason a woman should carefully guard her strength.
 Do not overtax yourself Go about your sports and your walks with mod eration. Too much exercise is worse than not enough. You can easily find out just what you are capable of en- during, and then shape your work and play to suit your strength.
 Do Not Be Physical Freak.
 What I want most of all tO impress upon women is not to try to make physical freaks of themselves.
 \ woman cannot stand too much training in any one direction at the expense of the rest of her body as well as man can. Her physical makeup is not constructed for it. For this reason she should try to divide her exercises as evenly as possible.
 \ woman who can TOW, ride a wheel and a horse, swim, shoot play tennis and golf all moderately well, and not -try to overtax her strength in any one branch, IS the woman who will be strong and healthy.
 She does not lace herself too tight. she glories in the pure air and de- lights to throw ol.U he- shoulders and drink in long deep mouthfuls of it, and she nurses her strength as care fully as does the trained athlete.
 This is the woman whom it is a joy to see. This is the woman who IS queen.
 Advice to Parents for tho Health and
 Rearing of Their Children.
 How can ] train my child so he vii grow up to be an athlete"
 This is a question which I am ask ed constantly. At the outset l want to say to both fathers and mothers who put this question to me-Don't.
 By this dOu'- I mean do not star out with the idea that you want to make an athlete of your boy. Just so sure as this plan is pursued you will overvork him in his tender years and end b sending him to an early grave.
 But do start out to make him d big strong, healthy child who will grow into a fine, manly man, and his athletic bent will follow in the natural course Of events.
 Too much training for the young bones and muscles is far more harmful than too little.
 If & child gets no exercises for the muscles there is a chance for him to make up for this neglect when he grows up. If he gets too much. and

LIFE AT COLON.
Where Only the Mosquito Really En.
 joys Existence.

It is perfectly true that without it's trade across the isthmus the state of ] Panama would be a very quiet little community. But the people of the place gladly take advantage of the trade that the isthmus affords, and actively en- gage in every kind of business that seems likely to bring a profit.
 But this is when the citizen of Pan- anna can live away from Colon or Pan anna city. For at no time can they be called healthful places or desirable To- cclities for residence. Colon was never intended for a site for a city, for it is q mere sand pit a mile long and a mile wide. At an expense of $5.OO0,00O cause ways have been built connecting the town with the mainland, and that is how the town is able to continue it's existence.
 The streets. though they have been improved Of late are often impossible iE wet weather. and when dry send up huge clouds ot choking, foul smelling dust. Around the town are lafge number Of stagnant pools and lagoons. which breed the deadly malaria germs that are so fatal tc unacclimated trav- cle.s. Sickening odors assail the nose at every turn. Even the dogs and monkeys look hopelezsly forlorn and unhappy. One never hears a hearty laugh in Colon. nor Is cheerful face to be seen anywhere save when some one is hurrying to board steamer or a train to get away from the island.
 The only thing that seems to enjoy life at Colon is the mosquito. They come in swarms. They enter every place They bite through the thickest clothing that one can wear in the t-op- ics. and at night they have a cleve-' way of getting under the netting ard making things exciting for their vic tims.
 This. however, Is only one side Of the picture. Colon and Panama are not the isthmus and the travellers who prejudice the new republic by what they have seen at these places wih GO it 9 grave injustice. Leave Colon be- hind by an hours ride on the railroad and a different condition of affirs is found.
 From the time that the train leaves the city it rises by a gentle grade to q more favorable altitude. Instead of
 th1 rank. humid atmosphere that ! drives out every idea of energy and work, a more genial climate is found and back from the railroad line are found the farms and the cattle ranges that give the isthmus it's share of riches.-Brooklyn Eagle.

cRooKlNe THE LITTLE FINGER
Is an Indication Of the Nature of a
 Wornan.

Little finger crooking is the ont
 ward and visible sign or an ostenta- tious soul.
 f:.r mes Of alm ma De uncer-
 tain and misleading, but the crook of
 a little finger is a positive indication
 of the nature Of it's owner.
 And first if denotes deceitfulness.
 The crooked little finger is more often seen on women than mnu. and this is because a larger proportion of the fair sex have deceitful natures.
 The woman then, who raises her teacup with what she believes to be an elegant curve of the little finger
 is trying to impress those who see her
 with t>e idea that hers is a refined and cultured nature. But the deceit ] is proved by the fact that this same woman seldom curves her little finger in the privacy of her own room. This. 1 therefore. proves that the crooking is not the natural result of refinement and culture. but a spacious and hinlsy pretense. Why it is accepted among those of the cult as d sign of good birth and breeding is a mystery in deed, for it has never yet been ob- served among the truly aristocratic. But it is so accepted and it stands for Veneering of all sorts.
 If woman is not quite. sure of her position, her gown or her pronuncia- tion, she crooks her little finger as she raises her bediamoned lorgnette, and fondly fancies all her shortcomings are overlooked.
 As a rule the little finger crookers are Of those who sadly abuse the word artistic To them, anything bizarre or esthetc is artistic" A burnt leather photograph frame a draped fshnet or a bagdad burlap ,s enthusiastically dubbed with the poor, overworkcd adjective.
 And then, with d smile of superior ity, they curve their little fingers and sip tea with the air of d connoisseur. Deep and careful research has failed
 to discover the origin of the crookfng habit. The only possible presumption
 is that it is relic. of barbarism. and
 that there was a time when only the
 great had cups to drink from. These few, to protect themselves from theu envious and covetous brethren, stuck
 out theIr little fingers to ward off pos
 sible assaults upon their porcelain
 property.
 Be that as it may, the crooking of
 the modern little finger apparently
 stands for buffer against the as
 saults upon a fragile and easily de-
 molished ehnement.-Carolyn Wells

his weak little muscles are strained and his supple bones warped, he can never fully recover.
 i Double Strain Weakens.
 l. must be remembered that a child s | brain is growing even more rapidly than it's body. This is a strain on it's Esystem but certain amount of healthy exercise will help it to stand thls strain. Too mach exercise Will add to the strain This double strain will end by Weakening the entire sys , tenn.
 There is nothing that can be so easily trained as the muscles of a child. The muscles and bones are both soft and uliable. They can be nodded like so much putty. See that they are moIGed the right way.
 There is not d day passes that I do not have a romp with my little son. l also put him through a regular, daily course Of exercise. I instruct him iu gyInnastic movements that will tend Jo make him supple in every joint. At the sanlc time the tiny muscles aro slowly but surely building up on k,@ little limbs and hoGy. That is the way they should be formed-slowly-a most as slowly as the wearing away of a rock by the waves of the ocean.
 Do Eot Start Too Soon.
 Another point which should be care fully followed is not 10 start too early to train your children. Just SO sura as you to you will put some strain upon them that their young bodies oanuot endure. And theu> they arc permanently iuC2Tdcitated. All the bright hopes of making a man among men of your boy are spoiled by undue haste to make yoUthfuI wonder of him.
 When your hoys, and your girls. too, for that matter are Just able 10 toddle around. the best thing you can do is to see that they are kept out doors as much as possible.
 Children cannot get too much fresh air.
 Get them uo early in the morning and send item out into the .~esh air. Even if you live in the citv. keer tEem outdoors vhrl the weather per luits.
 Better to have them dirty aud healthy than clean and sickly.
 Follow the foregoing plan and then when you think that the children are able to stand a certain amount Of simple exercise commence to our them through their gymnastics evers morning and night
 They will grow strong; they came { help it fl they will follow the rules given in the first article.
 Bear in mind Jha- your children must have plenty oI fresh air. and moderate. regular exercise. and they will grow up 10 be men and women of whom you may be proud.

Will Bring Charms that the Toilet

 Muscle building brings beauty to woman. This brief statement is suli~ cient I think, to make many women embark upon a physical development course. What will woman not do 10 become beautiful" They-some of bleach their hair, and do ali kinds of other foolish things in an attempt to improve their appearance.
