TOLD IN ENGLAND.
London Publication Again Resur. rects the Mythical American
 Who TOadies to Royalty.

A continental hotel keeper, says a writer in the London Truth, recently confded the following story to friend of mine: Some years ago, after Queen Victoria had been staying at a certain hotel, a wealthy American called on the proprietor and signified his desire to sleep if 1t could be managed, In the same apartments, the same bed, and if possi- ble, the same bed clothesy as those which had held the sacred person of her maj esty before they had been sent to the wash Money was no object to him. What would it cost?
 The hotel proprietor was equal to the occasion. He thought it could be ar ranged for 920. A bargain was struck on these terms The millionaire duly arrived and retired to the royal couch. No doubt he thoroughly enjoyed his nights rest, and the prospect of subse- quently electrifying his friends with the story of his regal experience His pleas are must have been somewhat marred when he discovered later on that her Britannia majesty always travelled with her own bed and bedding.

Calico and Urban VIII.

Galileo's wit got him into trouble when he put into the mouth of Sim plicio, the foolish opponent of the Copernican theory in his Dialogues, :" an argument that Pope Urban VIII. had himself devised. and insisted on Calico incorporating in the work. Calico made Simplicio quote it as an argument he had from 'very eminent and learned personage." The enemies of Calico persuaded Urban that he had been made game of" and this was the offense of which Calico was guilty. It was not for upholding the theory that the sun stands still and the earth moves that Calico was tried by the inquisition. Urban himself had supported the Copernican doctrines. both as cardinal and as pope.

THREE MEALS A DAY.
Relation Between Nations Food Bills and Its Commerce. shown
 by Statistics.

Statistics have been collected to show that the measure of the prosperity of country is the amount of food con- sumed by it's inhabitants-in other words, that diet and commerce go hand in hand The countries which consume the largest amount of food and drink per capita are the countries which have the largest surplus for export to other lands; the countries which are abstemi- ous or moderate in their consumption of food and drink have little surplus to send away, says the New York Sun.
 The average cost of food per capita in the United States is 60 cents a day; the United States stands at the head of exporting countries with an average of s1,250, 100000 in year.
 The average consumption of food and drink in England is 50 cents per capita, and England stands second on the list of exporting countries. Germany is the third with an export trade of more than 1,000,000,000, and 45 cents day the average per capita spent for food and drink (beer included).
 France has an export trade of S800,- 000.000 year and the average expense to each inhabitant for food and drink is 40 cents a day. Russia, with an ex- port trase of s3T5 100000. expends 20 cents day onSfood and drink per capita, anG I.alJ W.th $22175,G00, 900 of annual exT CTS sEenGs IS cents day, in maco- roni, wine and other articles of diet.
 
 All of which convinces statisticians who Lave gneartaed this notion of the relation of productiveness to diet that three meals a day for each inhabitant" is the open door to world powe, in com merce, manufactures and the surplus products of fertile soil.

FOOTBALL ACCIDENT.
Emphasizes Fact That Only the Strongest and Physically Fit
 Should Be Allowed to Play.

So many accidents have been laid to have been crippled thereby that we sell dom hear of the injuries and deaths that might have been avoided. The death of young medical student of Baltimore during a contest, but at a time when the ball was not in play. says the New York Herald, affords a striking instance of an easily prevent ible accident.
 The victim had been a sufferer from heart disease for a long time and yet was allowed to take active part in the game. His condition should have been, if it was not, known to his med- ical associates.
 There is no account of his having received any injury previous to the time he was stricken with collapse. No better proof of his unfitness for any extra physical exertion can be given than the suddenness of his death while he was merely resting. The lesson of the sad story is emphatic and con- vincing
 There is no game that requires more careful and systematic training than football and only the strongest are capable of bearing the strain. If there is any physical weakness in the can- didate it becomes quickly manifest as he goes on with his exercises, and why such incapacity could not have been discovered in time to have saved the unfortunate youth is difficult to imag- inc

BLAIE.s HEAVY INSURANCE.
James l.. Blur Carried Life Insurance AK
sregating u Million.

New York, Jan. l9.-James l.. Blair,
@ho died al Eustis, Fla, Saturday, was
one Of less than half a dozen men in
the United States who have taken out
life insurance policies a~ggregating ST.
600, 900.
II was stated here Monday by per.
ons familiar with Blair's affairs that
when his financial reverscs came he
assigned about half Of his policies to
creditors. His widow, It is said, will
receive about 100000 free from all
claims against the estate.
There Will be one contest made by
life insurance companies that issued
policies on Blair's life. 1t will be on
one contract for 5000 900 of compare
lively recent date, and will be vigor-
Ously prosecuted by the Mutual Life
Insurance Co.
The Mutual Life began suit last fall
for the annullment of 5000, 900 in pol
icies after Mr., Blair had attempted sui
eide as the result of the exposure OF
his alleged embellishments and for
geries. At the Office Of the company
Monday. Edward Lyman Short, general
solicitor, said:
I'VE had several policies on MIR.
Blair's life, some OF them taken out
AZ far back as 1886. We shall not com
test any OF these old policies, but shall
continue our suit to annul the poll
cies for 5000, 900, which were taken out
In January, 1902.
"Mr. Blair attempted suicide within
two years Of the time these policies
were taken out. That and the expos
ure OF his alleged crimes led us to con-
clude that he was not a desirable risk
I'VE asked the United States court
to set aside the policies OF the ground
OF fraud. The case Is still pending.
We had about 100000 additional, but
most of that Is reinsured, We under
stand that the body is now In st. Lou.
IL. When proof OF death Is submitte'
our mOrtuary committee will decid
whether To pay the claim or not, bul
! see n reason why any Ontest
should be made on policies more than
two years old"
At the office of the New York Life
Insurance Co. Monday, &. G. Whitney
the secretary, said:
our policies are uncomfortable. WheT
proof Of death Is submitted we shall

the premiums have been paid. ! d,

"On the 10th, after his ride, he made
the remark that he would not try 1t
again, and he did not, rs the following
night he was taken with a cOngestive
chill, and later on with a second one,
and they were the direct and immedi-
ate cause of his death.
"As stated by DR.. Hutchings in his
burial certificate, the real cause OF Mr..
Blair's death was cerebral congestion.
At the time of the first chill, DR.. Hutch
ings and DR.. Mckee, two of the best
physicians in the south, were called in,
and they remained in constant attend
ance until death,
His wife and his eldest son. Percy,
were with him at The end. He was un-
able to speak, but he showed that he
recognized Mrs. Blair by pressing her
hand.
Mrs. Blair received many kilograms
Of sympathy from all parts Of the conn-
try before her departure with her son
and her unfortunate husbands body for
ST. Louis"
DR.. Hutchings declined to make a
verbatim statement, but verified all
hat had been said by Mrs. Power.
