A Girls Classification.

There are some men who appear ts be very devoted slaves. They will coms to tea and swear that the divan in your den is the happiest corner of the earth to them.
 They will dance with you at a cotil- lon, but they will never take you to one, because that means flowers and cab. In other words. they are perfectly de lighted with your society as long as il does not cost them anything. These are the 'stingies.' and their name is legion.
 ''On the other hand, as @ blessed offset are the .givies, and they are just tho incest men in the world.
 You are almost afraid to mention a new book in the presence of a 'givy.' for the next morning 1t will be lying on the hall table when you come down to breakfast. He always waits to sec fl you have an engagement for the play before he makes his own, and he strewd your pathway with flowers and tht choicest of chocolates"
 But, alas" broke in the fair haired woman at her side, there is such ( fault as being too givy."

Andi1an which Is in the eastern part of Turkestan. In addition to these last ten times their number have been left home less. The entire number of lives lost from
 this cause is 12437.
 Not satisfied with volcanic disturbances
 and earthquakes, nature has been busy with Its storms In the shape of cyclones, typhoons and hurricanes every month in the year. They count 4,592 victims. Ma ture has also let loose floods, sweeping away S,0S2 victims, China, as usual, be- ing the principal sufferer. Fire, that oth- CT element of nature, claims long list i of victims, though 1t is hardly fair to charge to nature what clearly is attrib- utable to human negligence and care lessness, as was shown, for instance, three times in this city when the St.
 Lukes Hospital, the glucose works and the Lincoln Hotel was burned, involving ! the loss of S7 lives. This year 1.593 per sons have been reported as having lost their lives by fire, but the real number must have been greater. In large fires
 In Europe 1,077 lives have been reported
 as lost. The number of casualties of this kind in Europe is much smaller than in this country, as they build more securely over there and consequently have fewer destructive fires. The general trend of
 fire waste In this country Is in the direc- | tion of increase. and the saddest feature of it all is that the loss of life by fire also increase every year.
 From all other causes a little more
 than 5000 persons have perished in 19J2. | While this is not as large a number of
 fatalities as has occurred in some other years, the destruction is phenomenal in that nearly two-thirds of it has been oc- I casioned by volcanic and seismic disturb ances.

FRANCE AND AMERICA.
Fresh Illustrations of Frances An
 cient Friendship.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 In two directions Frances ancient friendship for the United States has been brought to the knowledge of the world in an impressive way in the past few days. Alone of all the European na- tions which had claims against Vene- zuela, France is not represented In the league which has been prosecuting US case by force again1t that ountry. Frances claims are larger, It IS under stood, than are those of either Germany or England, but she agreed long ago to postpone pressing them for the time, so as to give a chance to Castro and his government to recover from the demor- alizatIon and losses incident to the civil war, and then to refer the whole matter to arbitration. In this way she knew she would avoid embarrassing the United States, and at the same time would have an opportunity of reaching an ultimate settlement which would be pleasing to all parties to the affair.
 President Loubet, the head Of the French Republic, has just accepted hon orary membership in the order of the Cincinnati, which was recently rendered to him, and he availed himself of the op- portunlty to show that he had & pro- found appreciation of the honor which membership In that order bestowed, and a knowledge of the circumstances under which the society was instituted. This Is the other particular referred to in which Frances ancient friendship for the United States Is brought into popular re- collection. The order of the Cincinnati was started by Americans and French officers who had fought for American independence, and was founded in 17S3, the last year of that struggle. All the French officers who fought for American liberty, either in the army or navy, were eligible and most of them joined the so- ciety, as did most of the American off, cers. Washington was It's first head. Branches of the society were formed in each of the thirteen States and one in France. Eligibility was made hereditary. and Frenchmen and Americans are the only persons who are eligible.
 There is one other respect. also, in which Frances friendship for the United

HOW TO DRINK MILK.
Why it Disagrees With Some People

Why 1t Disagrees With Some People.
 When one needs a reviving stimulant after exhaustion nothing can rival the effects of hot milk slipped slowly.
 Some people say they cannot digest milk and these are the people who drink if down so quickly that the digestive acids. in playing around it, form large curds which give trouble before they can be absorbed.
 The right way is to sip the milk in small amounts, so that each mouthful, as 1t descends into the stomach, Is sur rounoed by the gastric fluids. and when the whole glassful Is down the effect is that Nof A spongy mass of curds, in and out of which the keen gastric juices course. speedily doing their work of turn ing the curd into peptones that the tissues can take up.
 To make sure of complete digestion, take one or two of 6tuart's Dyspepsia Tablets afterwards. as the pepsin and diastase they contain increase the quan- tity and efficiency of the gastric juices and supply the natural digestive ferments which all weak stomachs lack.
 Miss Anna Folger, professional nurse, speakinR of the value of Stuart's Tablets in convalescence. says: In adult patients recovering from severe illness and espe-
 
 one or two tablets overcome any diffi. culty and seem Co strengthen the stom- ach in a remarkably short time. I my self have used them daily for years, when my own digestion has suffered from the Irregularities and loss of sleep conse- quent upon my occupation.
 Not only children and invalids. but pro- fessionaI people. and others whose meals are necessarily hurried or irregular will find stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets of the greatest value in keeping up the tone and digestive vigor of the stomach
 They contain the active digestive fer ments the lack of which is really the only cause of indigestion and stomach troubles. and the regular daily use of them after meals will probably cure any case of stomach trouble except such as arises from cancer or alteration.

cALAMITIEs OF THE YEAR.

Enormous Losses of Life by Volcanic
 Eruptions. Earthquakes and Flres- Chicago Tribune.
 The year 1902 bids fair to be known in &he records of time as the volcanic and e,rthouake year, and this continent has had its full share of the disastrous re- uuIts of these convulsions. The disturb snces began last May. and from that 1ime to this there has not been month In which they have not been active. In cou,b America. Central America, the Islands of the Caribbean Sea. Guatemala, N5exico and Alaska there have been vlo- 1ent eruptions of volcanoes, involving laree loss of life and widespread destruc- 6ion of property, while many volcanoes long supposed to be extinct. have made avmua thetic efforts sufficiently threaten lne to cause general alarm in their Vlcin- flies. The eruption of Mont Pelee and Mont Souffriere were the most violent, burying the country for miles around in ashes and destroying 45,6OO lives. To these must be added 7,625 more lost at other places, making total of oS,Z25 Vlc- tins of volcanic fury.
 Volcanic eruptions have been accom- panied by seismic disturbances in vari- aus parts of the world. Upon this conti- nent Mexico and Guatemala have been 4hs chief sufferers. 1.30D lives haviug been lost in those countries. Few disasters from this cause have occurred in Europe, but Turkestan, in Western Asia, has been ahaken up three times. In February 5,0V0 lives were lost at Shemaker, in the Cau- casus region; in September, 1,100 in the same region. and in December 5000 at

States Is set forth at this time in way which will appeal to the understanding of Americans. France was the nrst ok the European countries, great or small. to accept the invitation to take part in the St. Louis Worlds Fair. and she signi- fled her readiness to participate whether the fair took place in 1903, or at later date. She did not ask for any postpone ment, but began preparations immediate ly to secure adequate representation. Her parliament made appropriations for build ings and exhibits, and officers were app pointed to take charge of her concerns here. All this shows a deHcate apprecia- ton of American feeling and regard for American interests and friendship which are reciprocated to the full in this country. In her whole at.i. ,de in the Venezuelan difficulty and toward the St. Louis Worlds Fair the French Republic has shown a tact and an intelligence which deserve and will receive the plaudits of the American people.
