 number of working days since the last re-

 situation. at the same time inordinate dc-

 large crop Is required and is being absorb

NECESSITY OF VACATION.

The vacation season is here. EV-
erybody who labOrs should take a va
cation, but many who seriously need
a rest of week or more and can
well afford to pay handsomely for the
diversion deny themselves Of it year
after year. The man who takes
vacation is much more valuable TO his
employer than the one who does not,
and the average employer knows it to
be true. He who spends his vacation
wisely returns to work greatly i'm
proved mentally and physically and
both he and his employer are ben
eficiaries. Rest and a change Of
scene work wonders, All this is
especially true of brain workers. If
the brain is not given a rest it be-
comes tagged and it soon requires a
stimulant, and very often the use Of
stimulant becomes a habit and
wrecks the user. Experienced alien
lists have found that often when a man
takes to drink after years of SObriety,
or when he turns suddenly dishonest,
he is we'll along toward positive in
sanity, the result of fatigue. Con-
slant grind has a serious effect on the
brain, and consequently on the moral
sense.
Man, like the ground, must lie fal.
low at intervals in order to be produc-
tive. The vacation is a necessity to
persons in all vocations. 1t reinvig-
crates the tired body and brain, wards
off insanity and makes for the greater
health and strength of the race. BY
all means take a vacation.

is as fond as his father of outdoor
sports, and he has shown that he pos.

less inherits from his grandmother,
the Empress Frederick.
The home life of the Prince was
managed on by no means a luxurious
scale. AS soon as he was able to be.
gin his studies he was obliged to study
constantly. He rose punctually at 6
a. M, summer and winter. At 1870 he
breakfasted with the Empress and his
brothers, and this meal consisted of
tea and bread and butter.
Lessons began at 5 o'clock. The
course Of study was severe one, and
foreign languages, especially French,
were ground into him. At $50 a sec.
Ond breakfast was served and then
more lessons, a military drill and ex.
ercises followed until 1 o'clock, when
luncheon was served.
After luncheon there was a short
time spent in recreation and then
more study. This time science and
music, until o'clock, when supper
was served. After supper there was
allowed one hour for recreation and
at 1880 the young Prince went to bed.
The Crown Prince is extremely fond
Of music and he learned early to play
the piano. Then each day he had to
take riding lessons. AS soon as he
was able to sit on a horse he had a
pony of his own, which he learned to
mount and ride barebacked.
1t was in 1902 that he attracted
much attention through his infatua-
ton for Miss Gladys Deacon. He met
her in England and her beauty so at
tracted him that he fell deeply in love
with her and was ready to give up his
prospects as heir to the throne in or
der to make her his wife.
He gave her a ring which was an
heirloom. When the Emperor heard
Of it he sent messenger to Miss Dea-
con, demanding its return, saying thai
the ring was not the property of the
Prince, but was gift of the Empress
Frederick to the German nation. Miss
Deacon, backed by the Duchess of
Marlborough, Indignantly refused to
part with the ring.
The ring, though, was finally re.
turned. Meantime, the Crown Prince
was closely confined to his room, and
his uncle, Prince Henry of Prussia,
was sent to represent Emperor Will
liam at the coronation of King Ed
ward in his stead

coAXING TAXES OUT OF JOHN
BULL.

in ten years, said an English naval
expert a day or two ago, the control
of the sea will pass from Great Brit
ain to the United States. Uncle Sam,
1t appears, is building more battle
ships this year than John Bull.
Hence the alarm of the English expert
quoted above. 1t is impossible to be-
heye, however, that his fears are gen
uine. Our British cousins have too
long a start to be Overhauled by Uncle
Sam unless we should increase the
number of our shipyards and spend
hundreds of millions Of dollars in the
next decade turning out battle-ships
and cruisers. The truth is that the
alarm expressed by our British cOus-
ms is part of their scheme to recon
cile King Edwards subjects to heavy
taxation to maintain England's naval
supremacy, That is the way the Brit
on is "bunkoed" into paying heavier
tribute to his government. The game
is an old one, but the British tax
payer has not yet seen through it

TRAILING OLD FASHIONS.

How often in reading we run across
some such phrase as this: "Old-fash-
Toned ideas of morality" Or we hear
a person about to deliver an i'm.
promptu homily, say: Il may have
Old-fashioned ideas about the sacred.
ness of the marriage VOW, but" Or
a mother say: My children could
have more money than l had when
was a girl, but | am going to bring
them up in the Old-fashioned way. Ny
girls shall know how to cook and do
housewOrk if necessary, and they will
make good housewives and mothers"
Father has such old-fashioned no
tions," said high school boy. He
has made us all promise not to drink
wine or play cards until We are TWEEN
ty-cne. And he says it's the boys who
have old-fashiOned parents who be-
come the successful men,"
There are worse things IMAM being
old'fashiOned. Progress is all very
well, providing it progresses. But
why should We feel it necessary to call
our ideas of right living old-fashiOned
and to speak of them in a semi-apolo-
getic manner? If old-fashiOned, so
much the better on that very account.
They have the backing of experience.
They have been tried and tested by
our parents and our grandparents.
We hear Of "Old-fashioned polite
ness" and the gentleman of the old
school" who is so rarely seen among
us. Why should these virtues be
called 0ld-fashioned? Is it not a dis
creditable reflection upon us twentieth
century people?
A few more old-fashioned people are
needed in this knOw-it-all age and gen
eration.-Chicago Journal.

DID THE ANClENTs SMOKE?

Did the ancients smoke? 1t is
strange that so simple a question has
never been satisfactorily answered.
Heroditus mentions certain tribes that
became drunk from inhaling the vapor
of piles of burning fruit, but the only
evidences that We have of smoking is
found in the prehistoric pipes of wood
and clay that are occasionally nm
earthed.
But if the ancients smoked what did
they smoke? It was certainly not to-
baccO. which we know is a modern so
lace. Certain herbs were smoked for
the cure of disease we are informed
by Pliny and other writer's, but there
are doubts that smoking for pleasure
and COryiviality were ever INDUCED in

THE WESTWARD COURSE OF EN-.
PRE-.

Can science explain why the course
of empire lies westward? OF the fact,
as a general proposition, there can be
no question. There is nothing more
evident in human history than the
westward tendency of the great migra-
lions of mankind, as well as Of the
spirit of conquest and the genius Of
civilization, which seem to fit from
race to race and from nation to ma
ton, kindling new fires as the old die
out, almost invariably toward the
west, as If the sparks were borne by

Parsley Tea.

Many Of the old herb teas" that
our grandmothers used to make are
useful, being soothing to the digestive
organs. A cup of one of these teas,
taken before retiring. will often pro
mote sound slumber Among the
most popular are those made from
sweet marjoram, catnip, camomile
sage, fIaxseed and parsley. Parsley
tea Is said to be particularly beneficial
to the kidneys. The parsley should
be stewed a little, so as to bring ont
the essence. Try it.
