WOMEN IN POSTAL SERVICE.
Germany Follows the Example OF
America In Employing Them
In the Department..

While women were employed in the
postal and Geographic service of France
and England as early as 1920 and 1880.
Germany did not make trial of fem
mime service until 1874 The main cir
cumstance that led to the employment
of women at that time was scarcity OF
available men. When later the admin
istration of the postal and Geographic
services were combined under one head,
a general discharge of the women who
had obtained positions In the service fol-
lowed, largely, so it Is reported, be-
cause Postmaster General Stephan, who
welded a determining influence at the
time, was irreconcilable in his opposl-
ton to the employment OF women IN the
postal and Geographic service. Hence,
all women engaged In the Geographic
service were removed, and only COM
paratively small number OF those en-
ployed in the postal service reluctantly
retained as further experiment Three
years later, In 1876, these also were sep
arated from the service Of the empire.
The successor of Stephan, Postmaster
General Podbielski, was favorably dis
posed toward the employment OF wom-
en-. He laid considerable weight upon
the successful experience with women
in foreign countries, especially in the
United States. Through his support and

Professor Harry Snyder OF the Min

partment of agriculture, says that
housekeepers could vastly increase the
digestibillty OF beans by parbolling them
with little soda, in the proportion OF
half q teaspoonful OF baking soda to a
pound OF beans and two quarts OF water.
The ordinary white navy bean, he as

Of protein, or muscle and energy, is very
hard to digest, and taxes the digestive
apparatus more than almost any other
vegetable food.
Dietary experts warn people, es-
pscially city dwellers, against the too
constant use of artificial preparations
and notifications OF food. For ccn-
tinusd use these are inferior to ordinary
foods cooked In the usual way. 1t is
easier to use cereals that require no
cooking, or are prepared by merely
pouring on boiling water; soups that
need only to be diluted and heated, etc..

be given the kind of food that REQUIRES

THE INDIANS OF SAN BIAS.
They Are in Reality the Masters Of
the Eastern Districts of
Panama.

Capt. Pepper, Of Jones lane, who has
traded for years with the inhabitants
and knows the whole coast OF the gull
of Darien, where, at the mouth OF the
Atrato river, the Colombian govern
ment was reported to have landed
troops for an over-mountain march on
Panama, says in the New York World:
"The San BIAS coast Is strip OF
shore keys and sound, $50 miles long,
inhabited by the San Bias Indians,
who. although nominally under the
Colombian government, hardly recog-
nize it. They have about 30 settle
ments, where they live strictly in &C
cordance with their ancient laws and
usages
when Colombia tried to erect Gus
tom houses the San Bias Indians said
they would burn them, and foreign YES
sels trading with the coast have there
fore to get clearance at Cartagena.
"Cocoanuts, ivory nuts and some tur-
tie shell are chief articles Of trade.
Cocoanuts take the place Of money,
1000 being worth s25 and four equal to
ten cents.
while the Indians have small vege-
table plantations on the mainland
along fresh water streams they live,
principally on account Of wild beasts
and mosquitoes, on the keys. Another
reason for the Indians sleeping on the
islands is the fear that their women
may be stolen.
Every settlement has It's own chief,
the most important being Sassadi. This
chief comes in contact with the noun
tain Indians These mountain Indians
are enemies Of Colombia, and think a
Columbian army trying to reach Pana-
ma by way Of the mountains from the
Atrato would have a difficult task.

CUPBOARD CURES.
Right ut Hand Are Many Remedies
Needed for the Ailments OF
the Family.

Few people stop to think that Nature
has provided in the food products OF
earth and tree all the medicines really
necessary to overcome a great many Oh
Me minor ills Of the body and to preyent
the grayer disorders, says Medical Talk
for the Home.
Don't run TO the doctor every time you
feel an ache or pain. Learn something
about Natures remedies. The Doctor
will give you some nauseaung, poison
Gus drug that will do you more harm
than good. Natures remedies are pleas
ant to take, leave no harmful after erect,
and will save you many a doctor bill.
Right in your own kitchen, in your
own cupboard, on your dinner table, Is
the very remedy that you need.
If 1t be rheumatism, neuralgia, or ner-
vous dyspepsia that is keeping you
awake at night and making your days
miserable, provide your table with GEL
cry and eat it every day. Nice, white,
crisp, Juicy stalks of celery. Put little
salt on it and eat three or four pieces at
each meal. Better than any nervine the
doctor can find in the whole medical
pharmacopoela.
If it be kidney trouble that is annoy
ing you, then have set before you at
least once a day a dish of spinach or
dandellon, and do not be afraid to eat
heartily Of It,
To induce Precipitation and cleanse the
system of impurities eatasparagus. For
insomnia try lettuce. For torpid liver,
eat tomatoes, which contain vegetable
calomel, and then sip water freely be-
tween meals.
For coughs, colds, and influenzy, for
consumption, seurvy and hydrophobiar
eat onions-just the plain, ordinary,
commonplace onion. 1t is cheap and can
be had the year round. It's also splen-
did nervine and useful in cases Of ner-
vous prostration. The red onion is an
excellent diuretic.- Eaten every day
onions will clear and whiten the COM
plexion. Onions and lettuce are es-
pecially valuable as representatives. of all
scorbutic diseases, such as scurvy
smallpox, etc.
Cranberries are splendid remedy fol
malaria and erysipelas, and blackberries
are useful in all cases of diarrhea-
Lemon juice with sugar and the beaten
white Of an egg will relieve hoarseness
Figs will overcome constipation, and pie
plant will purify the blood.
Grandmother remedies, you may say
but they are better than the doctors
dopes They are the remedies provided
by Nature and they are potent and harm
less. The next time you are Sick go
like old Mother Hubbard, to your cup
board, and you will doubtless find there
the remedy that your system needs, the
remedy that will teach you to be youl
own doctor and will make you healthy
wealthy and wise.

USING AMERICAN HORSES.
Animals from the United States beins
Introduced Into French Cav
airy Service.

Numerous Inquiries have been made
at this Office by Americans concerning
the demands for horses from the
United States, and several horse deal
ers have requested information on this
subject.
Limoges is the headquarters OF the
Twelfth Army corps, and the horses
Of the light and heavy cavalry need
renewing constantly, as the life OF an
army horse is only five years Of active
service.
A number of American horses hays
been introduced into France for cav
airy service; some have not given sat
isfaction, because they were pressed
into service before they had become
acclimated. 1t usually takes for
eign horse the best part OF year In
France to get into good condition, es-
pecially II he comes from the western
plains without being trained.
This business could be greatly de-
yslopsd by Intelligent painstaking sf-
forts. The particular requirements OF
the French market should. be followed.
such as the height, weight, etc. French
horse breeders are exporting many
horses to Russia for her army and
horses are consumed as food in all Eu-
ropean countries. This branch Of the
trade Is very remunerative all over

Coats in France.

The Bulletin de la Societe dAccli'
matation, France, advocates the rehab-
ilitation of goats. In France there are
only four goats to each person, in
Italy eight, in Germany ten, in Swift
zerland Il, in Sweden and Norway IL,
in Spain %, in Algeria 100, and in
Greece 10. It is remarkable that in
Switzerland, America and Mexico the
number of goats has increased Of late
years. In the United States the goat
is valued not only for its milk, butter
and cheese, but it's leather. The goat,
in fact. is taking the place of sheep
and COWS in some countries. Among
the best breeds are the Alpine varie-
ties called Saanen, Toggenbourg,
Gruyere and Schwartsshals of Swift
zerland. and the Zaraibe Of Nubia,
called the pearl of goats, which is said
to Weld four times more milk in pro-
portion to size than our best COWS

NOVEL KIND OF AIRSHIP.
Coney Island CObbIer Has One In
Which Kites and Atmospheric
Fuel Figure.

The renewed interest in aerial naviga-
ton which has been occasioned by the
arrival of Santos-Dumont and his air
ship, the new No. Z, has developed the
fact that at Coney Island there is
prospector in aerial possibility in the
person of Rudolph Dressler, a cobbler,
who has evolved an airship out OF the
Eddy kites, reports the New York
World.
The DRESSER ship has been entered
in the ST. Louis contest. and the inven-
tor, not unlike all other aerialists, de-
clares that he will win the first prize.
The DRESSER ship is oddly constructed.
It consists of two kites. 16 and IS feet
long, respectively. the longer one car
rying the shorter. These kites have,
according to DRESSER, lifting capacity
of 1870 pounds. To the under side OF
the lower kite is attached a harness
which carries a basket containing the
operator, motor and steering appa-
ratus.
The motor is a novelty. 1t is OF five
horse power, weighs but IS pounds, and
Dressler says it takes its fuel from the
air. BY what principle this fuel genera
ton is accomplished is one Of the Sc
cret claims of Dressler.
The motor is used in a dual capacity
that Of driving the propeller forward,
and again of forcing the lifting power by
creating a resistance against the kites.
The ship gathers its buoyancy from two
aeroplanes fastened horizontally to its
sides. The planes are designed also to
serve as parachutes in the event OF acci-
dent during fight.
The steering gear is also novel. 1t
consists of three planes, one of which
is vertical, all being under full con-
/ troll of the operator, who can veer them
at will
Whether the Dressler ship will prove
to be of any value remains to be seen
but the claims of the inventor have i'm
/ pressed many persons, Mark Bennitt
+ of the Louisiana Purchase exposition, be-
ing among those who are optimistic Of
/ its chances of success.
The propeller is much the same IN
construction as those used by Santos
Dumont and Leo Stevens, but is said tC

HIS START IN LIFE.
Shipwrecksd Crew Bought OHt Mia

my start in life" said man who is
now very prosperous, according to the
New York Sun. why. it was very SIM
pie.
Fourteen years ago was keeping 3
little restaurant, or rather sort OF
lunch place like, in little town on the
California coast. There was business
opportunity in that town that | could
have jumped into in a minute If | had
had the ready cash-not very great
sum. either-but hadn't the money, and
| couldn't raise it.
"One day the door of my little lunch
place was pushed open, and in walked
q tall, big, famished looking man, march
ing at the head of II other men looking
Just like him. This man at the head
looked around at the place and said:
"How much will you take for every
thing you've got?
"And right off the bat, Involuntary,
named the amount wanted to put
into that business; four times what all
my stock, and fixtures, too, were worth,
and never dreaming OF his taking It
but:
We'll take It," said the big man, and
the other II turned in a minute and
would have jumped on the eatables on
the spot, but:
Hold on! says the big man. Wait
till We tend to business and he col
lected up the money from the rest Of
them and paid it over and then
well, when they had got through
there was nothing left but the chairs
and the tables and the dishes. never
saw restaurant cleaned out so COM
pletely. I never saw men with such ap-
petites; and I've seen some hungry
men.
at was a shipwrecked crew Of IL
men, who had been II days in an open
boat without food, and my place, down
on the waterfront, was the first eating
place they struck after they made land.
Sailors don't usually have money,
but they had 1t somehow, and they were
glad to pay the price. So locked my
doors the minute they had got away and
closed on that waiting chance; and 1t
came out all right"
"Humph!" said the prosperous mans
questioner, "do you know Of any other
place on the California coast. where
could open a lunch place like that, where
shipwrecked crews with money would
be likely to come ashore"

ST. LOUIS FAIR GREATEST.
Buildings Far Larger and Area Great
er Than That of the Chicago
Exposition.

The Louisiana Purchase exposition
at St. Louis will cover a larger area,
entail a larger investment Of capital
and afford q more diversified display
OF exhibits than its last predecessor in
the international line in the United
States, the Chicago fair OF 1898. The
differences illustrate, in most cases,
the vast growth of the country in
wealth, industry and resources during
the past eleven years.
The mines and mining building in
ST. Louis, for instance, will cover an
area Of 525 by 75O feet, while the
mines and mining building in Chica-
so was $50 by 100 On the other
hand, rejecting the great growth In
the use Of electricity, the st. Louis
building will have an area of $50 by
625 feet. The electricity building in
Chicago covered an area OF 700 by 345
feet
The agricultural buildings in Chi
cago was 500 by 800 feet in area in
ST. Louis it will be 500 by 1000. The
transportation building in Chicago
covered an area OF 420 by 700 feet;
the st. Louis building will cover 425
by 75o. The United States govern
ment building in Chicago covered an
area of $50 by 42O feet; in st. Louis
the government building will cover
200 by $50.
The managers of the st. Louis eT-
position have made smaller provision
for the exhibit Of live stock than the
managers Of the Chicago exposition,
and have devoted less area to forestry
exhibits, too; but practically in every
other respect the st. Louis exposition
will be very far in advance Of that in
Chicago, not only in size, but in cost,
as well.
The approximate cost OF the whole
st. Louis fair will be $50,000,000. The
Chicago worlds fair cost S2S,O0O,O00,
and the receipts from all sources
were about $4,000 900.

RUSSIA AS NAVAL POWER.
Ships Are Poorly Manned by Country
Lads Through the Con-
script System.

An officer admitted to the writer
when visiting on board q Russian bat
tleship recently that large proper
ton Of the men are not sailors. but
agricultural laborers drawn from in
land districts by the conscriptive sys-
tenn, says Casters Magazine. They
enter as young men-not, to be noted,
as boys-and serve from five to seven
years, and are then passed into the
reserve for a further period of eight
to ten years. From the fact that these
men come from inland provinces 1t
follows that they have not the love of
the sea in their veins, and from the
fact that Russia is not an industrial
nation 1t also follows that few Of these
