Ne Realizes the Necessity For Ger.
rect Dress In Business.
1t has become the unwritten but
none the less stringent law that young
men shall dress well and neatly during
business hours. In many of the lar
gest banks and financial institutions
none of the clerks is permitted to 60
coatless, and in the mercantile estab-
hshments where statesmen are en-
ployed loud" attire is actually dis
couraged. The old time salesman gl0-
ried in his fiamboyant cravats and
shirts, his diamonds and his peculiar
clothes. His capital in trade consisted
Of a f1ashy appearance, vulgar stories,
a constitution that would stand intoxi-
eating liquor and an unlimited amount
Of cheek. He did not have to know
anything about the goods he sold, ex-
cept in a general way. He slapped
men on the back, took them out to din
ner, got drunk with them and then
booked their orders. The modern sales
man is a well educated, neatly dressed
gentleman who knows all about the
goods he sells. He is never called upon
to drink, he never needs to dine out,
he trades on honor and brains, and his
customers are men who only admire
men who know as much as or more
than they do about their business.
Dress plays the most important part In
the game of commerce, no less with the
salesman than it does with the man.

or the financial man. They all dress
to impress their fellow men favorably.

Early Prejudice Against Potatoes

early freJu01ce Against FOt0tOeDs
The way Of the potato was said to
have been barred by the prejudice that
It was never mentioned In the Bible
In the Lothians it came In about
1740. the year of the famine. from Ire
land, but was confined to gardens till
about 1854, when ii was planted in
fields about Aberlady. BY the close Of
the century it was a general article Of
diet.
Ramsay says that George Henderson
went about 1750 for a bag of potatoes
to Kilsyth, where the Irish method Of
field culture had lately been tried. and
introduced the potato into Mentieth.
where few had been known. but only
In kale yards. The old folks. however.
did not take kindly to the new food.
Old George Bachop. one Of the Ochter-
tyre tenants. when told by his wife
that she had potatoes for supper said:
'Tatties! Tatties, l never supped on
them a my days and Wilma the NIGHT.
Gle them to the herd and get me
sowens." 1t is significant that Burns,
who sang the praises Of kale and por-
ridge and haggis. should have nothing
to say Of the potato. = Blackwoods s

A Sailors Compliment.

Through all the years they were to-
gether Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont
lived for her husband. as before her
marriage she had lived for her father.
Her brilliant mind. her heart and her
hands were constantly busy In her hus-
bands service. and a gallant sailors
compliment shows that her devotion
was widely recognized.
During the civil war. when Admiral
Porter had command of the Federal
feet on the Mississippi. his flagship
was the steamer Benton. named after
Mrs. Fremont's father. The admiral
named the little tender of the flagship
Jessie Benton Fremont. and he wrote
to Mrs. Fremont his explanation:
"You have always sailed close to
your husband and your father"

The art of paper making is almost
prehistoric. 1t is believed that the
Egyptians invented the first crude
process. This is shown in the name
itself, which is derived from the word
papyrus, a reed which grows In Egypt
and other warm countries.
The ancient Egyptians made their
primitive paper from this plant by tax
ing the smooth, fbrous layer between
the rough outer bark and the inner
flesh of the reed. This they dried and
glued together in long rolls, which
served as a means to convey their
thoughts in hieroglyphics. This proc
ess has been SO improved upon during
the succeeding ages that today the
most perfect paper can be made from
the meanest substances.

Cared Bird. Live Longest.

Many people declaim against the
cruelty of keeping birds in cages, but
it is q well proved truth that cage birds
live about six times as long as a wild
bird, and the bird invariably becomes
SO fond of its owner and its surround
ings that when the cage is thrown open
1t will not fly away. 1t suffers SO little
from solitude that if a prospective
mate is introduced it hits her on the
head at first for her impudence in dar-
ing to intrude into a private apart

URGES NEW HOSPITAL
Structure at Washington Barracks In
adequate and Unfit.

Surgeon General o'Reilly. OF the army.
strongly urges the immediate construc-

pitai in Washington to replace the small
hospital at Washington Barracks. which
he pronounces wholly inadequate and
unfit for use as a general hospital.
In his annual report. just submitted 10
the Secretary of War. Surgeon General
o'Reiliy says the army needs a hospital
where cases requiring the treatment OF
specialists may be received and where
enlisted men Of the hospital corps may
be given better instruction in nursing
and students at the Army Medical School
may have advanced instruction.
The Washington Barracks HospitaI Is
located on ground to be used by the War
College. and Surgeon General O'Reilly
says the present location Is as unde-
sirable as the building Is inadequate.

Wabash Denials.
The talk which has been going the
rounds of a settlement of the troubles
between the Wabash and the Pennsyl-
vania Railroads is pronounced untrue by
President Ramsey. Concerning the inn
provements in Pittsburg. President
Ramsey said TO a Times correspondent:
Mr.. Cassatt and 1 have no engage
ment to meet here or any other place.
In fact, the whole idea that compro-
mise is considered is entirely new to
me. So far, as my knowledge of the
Duquesne Way franchise situation goes
there has not been the slightest change.
and l know of no plans to make any.
Our ordinance stands the same as when
introduced, and no effort has been made
to join with the Pennsylvania"
Would the Wabash be willing to
build line Jointly with the Pennsyl-
vania?" was asked of President Ram
sey.
Il see no reason why we should re-
fuse. The Pennsylvania are good people
and the Wabash would be perfectly will
ing to enter into any business PROPOSE
tion with them While we are competi-
tors that would not stand in the way OF
promoting a project that would be OF
material benefit TO both lines. l think
/ a joint road could be worked success
+ fully and believe the Wabash would con-
slider such a proposition, but the mat
/ ter has never been approached by either
4 the Pennsylvania interests or our com
/ pany"
! Concerning the reports that the Wa.
bash is negotiating for rights of way into
Washington, President Ramsey said that
the matter had been considered. Vari-
Gus routes had been looked over, in
| Guiding that of the proposed Baltimore
Annapolis and Washington trolley road
but nothing had been decided.
I'VE do not intend to make any at
tempts." said he, Ito reach other cities
until our lines have the terminals in
operation in Pittsburg and Baltimore
II can be said. however, that some day
the Wabash is going to be running into

TROOPS PRETTY HEALTHY
IN CUBAAND PORTO RICO
Much Less Sickness Than in the
United States or Philippines.

United States troops in Cuba and Por-
to Rico had much less sickness in 1902
than the forces in this country or in the
Pacific Islands. The rate of admission
TO hospitals there for 1902 was 1.300.24
per 1000. The death rate was only 6.72
per 1000.
In the United States the admissions
were 1.343.77. and deaths 7s3 per thou
sand, compared with 1,55o.25 and $50
IN 1901.
In the Pacific Islands 2,144.75 admis-
sions and 24.31 deaths per thousand com
pare unfavorably with 1884 and 1896
in 1901. but cholera caused the death OF
7.57 soldiers out OF every thousand in
the islands.
The admission rate per thousand OF
strength of the whole army for disease
and injury in 1902 was 1.716.51, slight
Improvement upon the rate of 1901,
which was 1888. Discharges for dis
ability gave a rate of 1892, consider
ably larger than in the foregoing year.
in which 1896 discharges per thousand
were reported. Deaths in 1902 caused
loss of 1919 men for each thousand OF
strength. rate decidedly ahead OF that
for 1901. which was 1894. but 3.51 per
thousand died OF cholera, and excluding
these the death rate for 1902 would have
shown Improvement over the previous
