A friend of Philip verrin Mighels
author of 'Bruvver Jfm's Baby" tells
this story of him. Mr.. Mighels was in
London at the time, and one morning
he informed Mrs. MigheIs that he had
several errands, and would not be back
for some hours. He was going to see
lawyer. a doctor, and a literary a
gent, and after his business was at
tended to, he would crafty an old
wish of his and go to see Goldsmith
grave. After a very brief period, to
Mrs. Mighels's surprise. he returned.
Why" exclaimed his wife, how did
you accomplish SO much in such a short
time" Because said Mr.. Mighels,
the lawyer, the doctor. and the liter
airy agent Were all out. The only one
in was Goldsmith

CHRONIC DIARRHOEA.-For sew
eral years during the summer months
I have been subject to Iooseness of the
bowels, which quickly ran into a very
bad diarrhoea and this trouble was
frequently accompanied with severe
pain and cramps. 1 used to call on
doctors for my trouble but it became
SO regular a summer aff1iction that in
my search for relief, became ac-
quainted with Chamberlain's Collie
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. which
proved SO effective and so prompt that
came to rely exclusively upon it, and
what also happily surprised me was
that While it almost instantly relieved
the cramps and stopped the diafrhoea,
it never caused constipation. I always
take bottle of it with me when
travelling. H. c. Hartman, Anamosa,

LITERARY NOTES.
A MAsoN's MAGAZINE.

Though the magazine field is already
quite numerously populated, there seems
considerable occasion to look for a
success upon the part of the newest OF
these periodicals-Ihe Neao Age. Its
publication is the result of a resolution
enacted in Washington, ID. c., last Octo-
Der, at the biennial session of the Supreme
Council, Thirty-third Degree, Scottish
Rite Freemasonry, and it is the official
organ OF that powerful order.
While the Masonic portion of the new
magazine is comprehensive, tits apparent
that the publishers intend to make it
strong in literary sense and interesting
in the way the regular" magazines are
so. The editorial offices are maintained
in New York in the Park Row Building.
but the home Office is the grand com
mander's headquarters in Washington at
No. 433 Third street, n. w. The presi-
dents OF the Board of Managers are Hon.
James ID. Richardson and Hon. Henry L.
Palmer, respectively grand commanders
OF the Southern and Northern jurisdic-
tions of Scottish Rite Freemasonry.
Blue lodge masons will find interest in
the magazine as well as those Of the
higher Scottish rites.

DIFFERENT IDEAS OF GEN.
ERALSHIP.

The great number of casualtiei
among the Russian officers, and pae
ticularly their generals. while no JAP
auese general has been hit, is lae
largely to the different theories of
generalship followed in the armies.
The generals of the Japanese ar di-
rectors, while the Russians clhg to
the old Skobeloff tradition of acom-
mander at the head of his men lead
ing the fighting. From the japanese
lines can be seen the whit+coated
Russians officers riding conspcuously
before their troops, while fom the
Russian side it must be had to dis
cover the Japanese officer because
their uniforms are so like those of
the ranks and because Grneral Ku-
roki and the lesser gensals usually
are somewhere behind jths fighting
line managing their battles by tele-
graph and telephone.
Probably electricity has never
played so great par. in warfare be-
fore as it does with the japanese.
Every general of brigade in the field
is, like modem Ambassador at
the end of q wire, which mis- di-
visional commander controls, and
the generals of divisions are in touch
by telegraph or telephone with the
corps commander. The engineers

No wonder. The muscles were un-

At first my lady friends refused to

Clothes have always been a curse
to humanity. Adam aud Eve never

part of their punishment that they
had to make pajames out of fig leaves.

by their clothes. Man in his native

Modern clothes would have knocked
eight hundred years off of Methu-
saleh's life. They've knocked more
than that off my life already. Look
at the Samoans! A few years ago
you couldn't look at them-their
costume was too docollette. The
decollette reached clear to the
ground. Now look at them. They're
dying of consumption. Why? Clothesl
Missionaries went among them and
they acquired a taste for breeches

A WISE BUSINESS DEAL,

Mr.. James Brinkley a prominent farmer
living near Drivers in Nanesmond county
died recently while in the prime OF life, and
his death illustrates forcibly the Importance
of certain precautions in business matters
that men are often likely to overlook.
Nearly all business men. and particularly
men in the busir ess of farming, have plans in
hand at all times that others cannot take I'D
on the instant and mature successfully, They
must have time to become familiar with
details, and have ready money to cover delays
involved, as well as to continue operations.
Mr.. Brinkley could always command money
needed to tide him over emergencies; but for
his estate to do such thing is entirely a diff
ferent proposition.
Mr.. Brinkley was always active in business
and seldom had large balance in bank. He
kept his money at work. As q consequence
when stricken down by death, business losses
would almost certainly have ensued had he
not forseen such difficulities and as a prudent
business man prepared for them several years
ago by taking out policy OF life insurance in
the Phoenix Mutual of Hartford. The money
received from The Phoenix I'm payment of this
policy was, as Mr.. Brinkley foresaw, worth
several times the amount TO his family in the
protection which IL afforded it's various
interests.
Upon receipt of request we will serd PAM

ABOUT CLOTHES.

A female setter of bones and roller
of pills, who has had occasion to look
into mans wardrobe more or less.
says mems clothes make her tired
and demands to know why thew
should all look alike. She bankers
for information as to why man
shouldn't wear gay colors and founces
and feathers and insertion and box
plaits and furbelows and hair oil and
pantalettes and lace yokes and baby
ribbon and stuff. The lady is a fool.
She would have US going around
looking like a cannibai fetch or a
ladies' furnishing store in a cyclone.
She wants us to get back to the days
of imperial Rome, when the mother
of the world sat on her seven hills
with her lap full of Senators in their
shirt tails. She would have us wear
ostrich plumes in our hair and braid
ribbons around our legs and stalk
down the street like the heavy villain
in soap show.
What a man needs is not more
elaborate toggery, but something
more simple. Pm tired of clothes.
AS soon as / get rich enough to be
above suspicion and public opinion,
i'm going to quit wearing them. I've
begun already to accustom the public
to it gradually. On hot days throw
away my cuffs and collar and necktie
and turned the neckband of my shirt
inside. This gives sort of decollete
effect which everybody except the
rest of the world admires very much.

TO BUILD s5,OOO.OOO PALACE.

Excavation in solid rock has begun
at Arden, N. Y, for E. II. Harri-
mans $5,000,000 palace to be erected
on Tower Hill at an elevation of
1850 feet.
The undertaking of this railroad
magnate, once a poor boy, would
have stunned an oriental of fabulous
wealth.
The house is to be of solid granite,
quarried near by, and is to be $50
feet long, facing west, and $50 feet
wide. 1t will be two stories high
and will contain more than so rooms.
trimmed in mahogany, white enamel
and bird's-eye maple. The house
and a stone terrace, the latter with
floors of concrete, will cover nearly
three acres. A large stable and
powerhouse, both of stone, will also
be erected.
The architects say that owing to
the immensity of the undertaking
1T will be more than three years
before the house can be finished.
A temporary boarding honse will
soon be built near the site of the
proposed mansion for the accommo.
datlon of 100 mechanics.

Won PLEvHNE'S SUCCESSOR.

The public utterance by Prince
Sviatopolly Mirsky, the new Russian
minister of the interior, of his hope
to improve the condition of the Rus
sian people, and particularly of his
desire to afford to the poorer class of
Jews in Russia larger opportunities
tor life and work, is regarded as per-
haps the most important utterance
made by any man SO high in author
ltY In Russia since the present reac-
tlonary regime was insugurated in
that country in 1881.
Prince Mirsky recognizes that the
imperial ukase by which concessions
have been made to certain classes
of the Russian Jews gives only slight
relief, inasmuch as the concessions
referred to can benefit only the high
er classes of Jews, while nothing has
been done for the masses, which
need relief to a far greater extent
than their wealthy co-religioni SITS,
and it is most encouraging that the
new minister Of the interior points
out at once that relief to the masses
or the Jewish population can only
come by giving them larger opportu-
mites for life and work instead of
keeping them crowded together in a
pale where they must live as best
they can. Promises of better things
have so often been made by Russian
statesmen, and even upon the author
ity of the Car himself, only to give
room to disappointment, that the
world has become skeptical of Rus
sian assurances, but the anteccdents
of Prince Mirsky justify the expecta-
tlons which Jew and Christian alike
will derive from the public declara-
tions he has just made. If the min
lister will show the courage and be
given the power to carry the ideas to
which he has given expression into
effect, "a new era will soon dawn upon
his unhappy country and his admin
istration will become a lasting bless-
ing to Russia and her people.
Prince Mirsky said he was well
acquainted with the wants of the
Jews. He expected the Jews on
their side to have perfect confidence
IN government measures. Jews
might rest fully satisfied that, hay
ing been called to the fount of JUS
tice by the side of the Emperor, he
would see that justice was always
done them.
Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky has be-
gun energetically the work of put
ting his published utterances into eff
feet. Two assistant ministers of the
department who opposed the Zemst-
vos have been transferred to the in.
of the Council of the EN-.
pire, and half dozen of the late
Minister Plyhne's other lieutenants
have been displaced. Several Of the
committee on rural industry, who were
exiled into Siberia by Minister
Plevhne for having expressed liberal
views, have been allowed to return to
their homes. Prince Mirsky has also
issued an order permitting the Wos-
chot (SunriSe), a Jewish organ,
which Minister Pleyhne suppressed,
to resume publication.

THE REFORNIER.

Before the monstrous wrong he sets him
down
One man against stone-walled city of
sin.
For centuries those walls have been
a-building;
Smooth porphyry, they slope and coldly
glass
The flying storm, the wheeling sun. No
chink,
No crevice lets the thinnest arrow in.
He fights alone, and frcm the cloudy
ramparts
A thousand evil faces gibe and jeer him.
Let him lie down and die What is the
right,
And where Is justice In world like this?
But, by and by, earth shakes herself,
Impatient;
And down, in one great roar Of ruin,
crash
Watch-tower and citade, and battlements.
When the red dust has cleared, the lonely
soldier
Stands with strange thoughts beneath the
friendly stars.

OAP FOR SALT SHAKERS.

The common salt-shaker is
EQUIPPED with perforated metal
cap, and through the attraction of
moisture the salt necessarily cor
rodes the metal. The corrosion
thus formed is one of the most
deadly poisons, and is known as ver-
digris. A single grain is sufficient
to kill person and numerous in
stances have been recorded where
death has resulted from this cause.
A cap for salt-shakers that will take
the place of metal is much needed
invention.
