w WEEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take Scott's Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

The minister in Kathryn Osterman's
production of miss Petticoats" is a
young man of the democratic sort. He
is good stroke at billiards, and he is
wholesome and hearty, sturdy
champion at all odds of the right and
always delightful friend. In the
play he is called the Rev. Ralph Hard
ing and at home he is Joseph Man
ming, very capable actor.

After carrying a woman down a
ladder from burning building, a
gallant fireman of Washington re-
turned to the room and rescued her
bowl of gold fish. He succeeded in
taking it down the ladder without
spilling the water or allowing the
frightened fish to jump out.

BURr's, THURSDAY, FRI. AND SAT.

In putting together theatrical pro-
duction at the present time one of the
most difficult problems which con-
fronts the producing manager is the
getting together of his properties to be
used during the action of the play.
Messrs. Spencer and AbOrn who are
responsible for the fortunes of
'M'liss, =" now in the fourth season
under their management, have been
particularly careful in this regard. In
the first act a stage coach is driven on
by Yuba Bill. After looking over the
Eastern country thoroughly, the mar
agement was not able to secure what
they wanted and went into the West
ern country and by extremely good
fortune, they found a genuine coach
which had at one time been the prop
erty of Gilmore and Salisbury, the big
Sacramento stage men, and which had
been driven over the Sierras many
times. The production of IN 'liss"
will be entirely new for this season
and the title role will be played, as it
has been for the past two seasons, by
that charming comedienne, Nellie
McIIenry.

NOVEL READING CRAZE.
Publisher Thinks That Some College
Literary" Courses Drive Many to It.

Literary" Courses Drive Many to It.
From the New York Times.
ut Is a bad day for the publisher when
the book buyer begins to read" Is the cpl
gram of a New York publisher. The au-
thor of the epigram discussed the other
day the increase of novel reading and it's
effect upon the demand for books other
than fiction Only within the last ten
years. he satd had the great demand for
fiction been the most striking fact of the
publishing and bookselling business. Long
before that time fiction had become the
most important item in the publishing Of
England and the United States, but never
before had many successful novels been
published. He set down the increased cir
culation of novels to the growth in popula-
ton. wealth and education and was
hardly inclined to allow suggestion that
on the average the quality of fiction had
greatly improved within twenty or twenty
five years. Never before was the financial
success Of novelists much talked about
and written about, and the effect was to
stimulate novel writing. Not only there
more novels than ever before published,
but there are vastly more than ever before
rejected by the publishers.
1t was doubtful, the publisher thought
whether the increase in the reading of fic-
ton had lessened the reading in other de-
partments of literature. Many of the new
read nothing else, and lovers of poetry,
criticism. history and biography have not
been drawn away from their favorite sub
jects by the fact that unknown young men
and women write novels that sell by the
hundreds of thousands. large part of the
most intelligent and cultivated readers
gives very little time to new fiction. The
fact that the colleges and universities are
giving more attention to the study of fiction
literary manifestation has given fiction
an Importance that 1t did not once have
Another thing that the colleges are doing.
the publisher thought, had lessened the
reading Of books proper to literature-that
Is, the requirement that students preparing
for college shall read and study by way of
task masterpieces Of literature which most
such young persons in the natural course
of their development would not reach for
years after they had finished their prepara-
tory course. The effect was to drive many
such students away from literature and
make 1T hateful to them because they asso-
ciated 1t with distasteful task Doubtless
many such young men and women fed
toyfully from the classics of the language
to the lightest and most ephemeral of mod
ern novels.

PORTO RICo's BoNBoNs.
Chocolates Recently introduced New
Treat for New York Girls.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
If lovers of bonbons want something de-
licious and out of the ordinary they must
get the genuine Porto Rico chocolates and
chocolate spirals that have lately come to
New York. The manufacture of bonbonS
from the native West Indian chocolate
bean has been fine art with the Porto Ri
cans for two centuries, and the fame of
their wares long ago spread to southern
France and to SPAIN where the fine danes
and petted beauties will have no other
brand. Broadway confectioners have now
consented to let the American girl taste of
this new-old luxury. In the making of
these chocolates the utmost care is taken
in the selection of the beans and only the
standard, slow-going methods are used in
the preparatory treatment. When making
the bonbonS every detail that furtherS per-
fiction is considered, each ingredient
ground and bolted to velvet-like smooth
ness, and the filings rolled and melted and
rerolled with the greatest pains to render
them fine and hawless. The combination
of favors and the essential quality of these
fiavors is special feature and affords va
riety more after the fashion of French than
New York bonbons.
In explaining the merits of these odd
sweets many secrets of confectioners leak
out. 1t seems that good deal of the av-
erage- priced chocolate is prepared in ways
that injure its quality, and a variety OF
adulterants are also introduced. Thus the
beans are prepared for candy making by
the use of alkalis and by process which
saves time. Then the chocolate is diluted
or blended with arrowroot, tapioca, farina
and other starchy ingredients which mar
the flavor else darkened with burnt
lumber, burnt sienna or other. clays The
Porto Rico chocolate is absolutely pure
and contains almost no sugar until made
up into cakes and bonbons. And the max
ers are jealous of their reputation that
when thew cannot secure the best beans
they label the output as second quality or
leave 1t unlabeled.

What the Pope Spends.
From Leslie's Monthly.

AS pope, Leo's expenditures are vast
without counting what he spends on Cath
Ollie missions, on the inferior clergy, on
churches and on education, and upon the
support Of the 5000 people who populate the
Vatican. he maintains within the palace
walls the first factory of mosaics in the
world, while for works Of art he probably
spends more than any other government
and though it is true the Vatican receives
subscriptions of money from all parts of the
world, of which it does not distribute the
half. and that its treasures are continually
incre asing, still 1t must be remembered that
after ten centuries Leo XIII Is the first
pope who assembled the throne without tenn
poral power. The budget Of the Vatican at
Christmas Is 1905. 600 francs, which are AL
the offerings of the faithful; but 1t may be
imagined that an exceptional administration
Is needed to obtain this sum yearly, and the
pope Ia a model administrator.

Brushes are now made so pliable and
gentle in action and of such resisting quail

window brush, the brush for cut glass; the
dish-washing brush and many others for
pantry use that are NOSE slightly and more

THE MODERN JAPAN.
A Comparison With Her Sister Island
Empire in the Occident,
From the Anglo-Japanese Gazette.

From the Anglo-Japanese Gazette.
Concerning the united kingdom the fol-
lowing points of resemblance between it
and Japan are remarked: Japan consists
of a group of islands lying to the east. of
the continent of Asia. as the united king
dom consists of group lying to the west
of the continent of Europe. Both groups
extend from north to south: the main
islands of the Japan group are about the
same length the united kingdom-viz
about 700 miles; both groups have a SINH
lar population-Japan 10000 and the
united kingdom 42,OO0,O 600; both groups
have a similar area-Japan $4,000 and the
united kingdom 10000 English) square
miles; both groups are washed and their
climates modified by important ocean cur
rents-the British Isles by the gulf stream
and Japan by the Japan current. The re-
Semblance ceases, however, when the two
are contrasted as empires. The one is the
land of the rising sun, the other that on
which the sun never sets, while the popu-
lation of the British empire is about 400-
O0O,C0O, nearly quarter of the population
of the globe and nearly ten times that of
Japan
The revenue of the united kingdom is
more than four times that of Japan, but
the foreign trade is seventeen times and
the national debt twelve times greater.
The marked contrast between the national
that the former has been raised almost en-
tirely for carrying on the wars in which
this country has been engaged during the
last 2C0 years, while that of Japan has
been chiefly for public works and industrial
enterprises.
In the United States the population is
roughly twice the number in Japan it's
size is twenty-three times as large, it's
revenue four times as great, while the for
eign trade of the United States is nine
times and its national debt seven times
that of Japan. Russia covers one-seventh
of the surface of the globe is sixty times
the size of Japan, but it's population is less
than three times greater. consequently pop
ulation in Japan is twenty times thicker
than in Russia. France has an area nearly
40 per cent larger than Japan, but pop
ulation 10 per cent less, and not growing.
Its national debt is enormous-the largest
of any nation in the world-nearly double
that of the united kingdom, and twenty
times that of Japan. Germany, which now
aims at becoming world power, is about
the same size France or 40 per cent
larger than Japan, while it's population is
one-fourth greater. striking feature of
the population of Germany is that it is
growing at much greater rate than that
of the united kingdom or Japan, and justi-
fies, in some measure. the desire for ex-
pansion.
