A DISAGREEABLE DISEASE.
One That Amicts Many People In tn
Home az Well as in Places
of Business.

There is no meaner disease OF
mind or body than that of fault
finding or worry. 1t may have
medical name; if so, we don't know
it, and if we did, it would do no
good, as there is no cure for the
pesky thing except death. Persons
afflicted with it are sure to let you
know they have it. and in less time
than it takes to tell, they have
made you and every one they come
in contact with miserable. The
weather, that furnishes such
topic for so many, is their peach
subject, and they thresh that over
until it is threadbare. They find
fault with everything. Their clerks
can never please them and their
customers call them grabbed old
things" and finally go somewhere
else. They believe every one has it
in for them" and they enjoy no
peace of mind because always an
ticipating some evil thing that never
happens. If they ever get to heaven
they will find fault with everything
there. The only time they really
seem to enjoy life IS when they are
pouring their ills, real and imaginary,
into your ears, says Gold and Silver
smith.
The less people hear of the ills and
aches of others the better they like
it. Each one has enough of his own
to bear without other persons bur-
dens. and the little sunshine they
have they don't want clouded over
with these woes.
People admire the pluck of the man
who. when his body is racked with
pain, never lets a sigh escape, or has
a complaint to offer at any of the
bubbles of fortune, but in storm and
sunshine, in prosperity and adversely,
has always the cheerful and pleasant
smile for all Such persons make the
world better for having been In it.

Joke WAS ON WHITES.
COlOred Troops I'm the Philippines Got
Their Pale Associates
Disliked.

A Wichita boy serving in the Philip
pine army writes to his mother in the
greatest indignation over gigantic
joke played by a colored regiment in
the far away islands, says the Kansas
City Journal. This regiment is the
Forty-ninth infantry. They were sta
toned at Sipa, one Of the interior
provinces. They told the natives that
the colored race predominated in
America; that the whites had been but
recently released from slavery; that
the colored people ran the United
States government; that President
Mckinley was descended from pure
blooded African chief; that the white
folk of America were low down, lazy,
pilfering trash, much given to stealing
chickens; that the white were not
permitted to own property and that
the negroes wouldn't associate with
them OF terms of equality at all.
BY and by the colored regiment was
moved elsewhere and the regiment TO
which the Wichita boy belonged took
It's place. The white soldiers found
that they were looked upon with con-
tempt by the natives and that every
thing told by the colored troops had
been believed.

FLOATING CITY OF THE SEA.
,x,o,dors NJ the German Ocean Liner,
Kaiser Wilhelm H., Recently
Completed.

Marvellous in construction, luxurious
in furnishings and huge in size is the
Kaiser Wilhelm H., of the Nord-
deutscher line. which was launched last
August. She is the largest of the ex-
press steamships now plying between
the old world ard the new. She is
about one-seventh of a mile long, 7O6
feet 6 inches; ~ feet beam; and her
displacement is 26,5OO tons of salt wa
ter. She has seven decks and her height
from the keelson to roof of the smok-
ing saloon is 70 feet inches, says an
eastern paper.
The steamship has two bottomsseven
feet intervening between them. If a
hidden rock should penetrate the first
bottom the second would save the ship.
If bv any mishap both bottoms should
be rent, II powerful steam pumps, cap
able of discharging $500 tons of wa
ter an hour, would be put in action.
Surprising that for some reason all II
pumps refused to work, safety would
still be secured by the II water-tight
transverse bulkheads and one long adj
ditional bulkhead in the engine room.
AS a final precaution the Kaiser Will
hem II. carries a hotilla Of 20 boats
that can be lowered into the water by
four strong boat hoistE.
It is hoped that the new vessel will
attain a speed of 231a knots an hour.
Her two bronze propellers, % feet by 10
inches. in diameter, are driven by four
powerful engines. Steam will be gen.
Grated in 10 boilers. The driving shaft
is 23O feet long, and weighs 565'O0o
pounds. Despite the force of 10000
horsepower which will be necessary to
propel this floating city across the
Atlantic in five days, vibration will be
reduced to minimum, for the main en-
gines are balanced on the Schlicks sys-
TEN.
The electric plant upon the ship will
furnish $500 candlepower, lighting
2.7OO incandescent lamps, will ring
electric bells, work electric signals,
light cigars in the smoking saloon, turn
fans, and even heat the curling irons in
the first and second cabins. The htch-
en- staff will be able to serve meals to
1880 persons.
The Kaiser Wilhelm II. is capable OF
accommodating IT'S frst-class, 343 Sec
ond-class, and 700 third-class passen-
gers. Besides these, there is a crew OF
600 men, including the captain and Of
fcers, making nearly $500 persons
enough to populate a considerable
| town.

"It's just trifing question l would
like to ask" he remarked, relates Ell

Glad to give you any information

that attracted me?"

"Indeed it is"
"And the article itself is the most
convenient, comfortable and sensible
thing in its line on the market. Let

"Wouldn't do a bit of good" hastl-
ly interposed the stranger. u
couldn't tell thing about 1t. I'm
not posted on the modern girl, but
have made a study of Venus. I've
seen dozens of pictures Of her and
any number of statues and statu-
cites. and somehow this seemed to
suggest a question to me-a very sim
pie question, as I have explained
and one that you can readily answer
But it has worried me.
The salesman, secure in his Superior
knowledge of feminine affairs, looked
at the stranger with obliging con-
descension, and suggested that he
was ready for the question. There
upon the stranger gave it to him I'M

Terminating the Heart.

The Russian feat Of terminating the
heart of a child that had been dead 20
hours is shown by Dr. r. Romme to be
nothing new. The heart is not the del
icate organ generally supposed, and for
a long time Psychologists have under
stood the possibility that it could be
restored to action, the effect being of
shorter duration in the human heart
than in that of lower animals. A cur
rer! # arterial blood, or a solution of
salt charged with oxygen, is a common
means of restoring the beating to dead
hearts. By massage, the exposed heart
being rhythmically rubbed with the
hand, Prof Prus, of Lemberg, has sue
ceeded in terminating IS hearts out of
100, and by combining massage with
electrization M. Batelh, of Geneva, has
revived dead dogs, and kept them alive
as much as "a hours. Human beings
have been revived by the latter method,
though only for short time.-Medical
Journal.

FANCY DRESS DETAILS.
Figure In the Costumes for
Warm weather.

The black materials are more varied
than of yore; there are some tempting
transparent fancy grenadines, -singu-
larly cheap, which make up very well
over white, as fashion dictates, reports
the Brooklyn Eagle.
Black evening dresses are likely to
be as much in demand ds ever, especi-
ally those that have the upper part
covered with minute pailettes, very
small at the waist and increasing in
size as they descend. A beautiful tulle
skirt thus treated met a trimming at
the foot composed of inch-wide satin
ribbon and lace insertion.
Many of the new serges are trimmed
at each seam, but have no Innings, and
drop fringeS, gimps, and ornaments APP
pear on most gowns. a favorite form OF
gimp has graduated "rondels' filled in,
in the center with crossing stitches.
A charming white tulle dress lightly
dotted with spangles, has fringe Of
pink roses on the hem, and black net
dress closely covered with silver SPAN
giles, lined with white, bears applica-
tions of white roses with excellent eff
feet.
The short sac-bolero, cape coat, or
coat cape-call it what you will, its boil
ero-like character clings to it still
is quite the feature of the modistic
hour as an outer covering.
Dainty little lace caps are being in
PRODUCED in London and Paris, for
house wear. They are very popular
because of their becoming and soft
tning effect.
The white lawn tucked skirt com
pleted with the white lawn collar, and
the cravat of plaid or of spotted soft
silk, are worn with the tailor-made
dress.
A cape suitable for a matron was
carried out in ivory-corded silk, with
cream lace applique, and softened with
accordion-plaited frills of chiffon.
For ordinary wear the putty-colored
faced cloths, with lace appliques or
embroidery, will be much in vogue for
coats; such garments as these are
generally cut la Chinoise.

USES OF THE GAVEL.
Illustrating Fjremen Engaged in =
Discussion Ruled by Par2ia-

1t is noted by Southern Kansas pa
per that the chief Of the local fire de-

gavel by admirlng friends. To those
uniformed Of the ways of the South
ern Kansas town, a gavel might seem
to be the most useless thing a fire chief
could have in his possession, says the
Kansas City Journal. But observe the
process:
Most worthy chief" says one Of the
fremen, coming slowly from below, ian
alarm of fire has been sounded
THE brothers will come to order"
announces the chief, giving at the same
time three distinct knocks with his
eavel. at has been brought to my at

amendment to the substitute. five go
to the fire without the engine and find
that it is needed, we must all come back
to get ii. Ny amendment is, Mr.. Chair
man. that a committee be appointed
to inquire into this fire and report up
on it."
"The question is upon the amend

for the question:"
"Mr. Chairman" shouts a newcomer,
in the back end Of the hall, "as I was
dressing, my wife returned and said
the building burned down and the fire
was out. 1 move you, Mr.. Chairman,
to lay the whole matter on the table"

ter the vote had been taken, with
resounding whack of that gavel which
is such a mystery to people who never
can understand.
