KNOWS THREE TONGUES.
English Child Of Three Years Speaks
Them All Fluently-Is Consid-
cred q Wonder.

Little Lejane Lea, who resides with
her parents in York road, Lambeth, Eng
land, is something of a wonder child"
She speaks as many languages as she is
years of age.
Although not quite three, Rejane
prattles fluently in French, Italian and
English. In addition, the baby linguist
has invented mixture of the three lam
guages-a sort of "Esperanto"-which
she addresses exclusively to her dolls.
Rejane was born in Cairo. Her mother
is French and her father Italian. She
converses with both parents in their ma
tive languages. A few months ago Re-
jane was brought to London and placed
in the care Of nurse whose linguistic at
tainments are infiexibly limited to Eng
lish. Rejane is dainty, sprightly little
miss with raven black tresses. She ex-
planned the other evening that cit was
very dull having no one to converse with.
1t got very lonely in time. Just fancy
nurse not being able to speak either
French or Italian, and she is years and
years older than am! Well, felt I
must speak to some one or die! So set
to work and learned English" English
is now Rejane's favorite language.
When, in few weeks, Rejane reaches

HIS NAME IN GOOD BOOK.
Indiana Man Had Been Heard OF

" Because my name is Lord, frequent

said j. G. Lord, of Muncle, Ind, according
to the Louisville Herald. ''One of the
most amusing incidents l ever had by
reason OF my name happened while l was
driving from town to town in Colorado.
While on the road one day, driving very
slowly, for had plenty of time, l CHANGED
to notice by the roadside young fellow
about l6 years old, dressed in as ragged a
fashion as anyone you could ever conceive
of. He had on a pair of his fathers worn
out trousers, which were cut off at the
bottom, and which extended far up on
his body, almost to his shoulders. More
as a matter of personal amusement than
for any other reason, l asked him how far
it was to the next town.

LOCAL COLOR TOO STRONG
Sunday School Girl Works Local Ho-
tel Into the Story Of
Bethlehem.

Seneca, Nemeh county, Kan, is q thriv-
ing town of almost 5000. Travellers
thereto, says the Philadelphia Press, put up
at the Clifford house, which is a real brick
hotel and is regarded by the permanent
population as the latest thing in the hos
telry line in the northeastern part of the
state. To the children of the town it il
known as 'The HOTEL
So it was that when faithful Sunday
school teacher endeavored to fix on the
minds of her small pupils the story of
the birth of Christ she described how Mary
and Joseph had come into Bethlehem on the
eve of the first Christmas and found the
inn full of guests. To make it realistic she
used the smile of the town of Seneca and
explained how it was just as though the
weary travellers had come in from the sur
rounding country at evening.
Too we'll she drew the picture, for one
young miss was so impressed with the
local color that when the Christmas festi-
val came and the superintendent of the
school asked for the tale of Bethle , IN this
young lady started out in this fashion:
Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem,
but the Clifford house was full"
She got no farther, however, for the
walls Of the church rang with the laugh
ter of the audience, which realized that
here was local color with vengeance.

Cured Her rheumatism.


Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 81 Especially
There is deep interest in Green county
over the cure of the little daughter of l. N
Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was great
sufferer for five or six years and moth.
ing seemed to do her any good till she tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to i'm,
prove almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other children do.
Mr.. Whipkey says:
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being cripple per.
haps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
Rheumatism is one of the results of dis.
eased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by
Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are
right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood
and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's
Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right.

THE SLEEVES OF TO- DAY.
Models Now in Vogue Are Very Much
the Same as Those Of
Decade Ago.

The full puff shoulder is back and the
new Paris models look very much like
those of ten years ago, says the Brook
Ign Eagle.
This sleeve, which is called mutton
leg because it looks so very much like
leg of mutton with the big part of the
leg at the shoulder, is worn with cloth
gowns and with silk dresses. 1t is be-
ginning to come in with the new recep-
ton gowns and one sees it creeping into
the coat sleeves.
The French puff shows the big full
sleeve set into the arm hole in big side
plaitings. The sleeve is now pulled out
full so as to set out as though it were
crinolined. 1t is very tight below the
puff and quite hugs the arm all the way
to the wrist
While engrossed with the full sleeve
Dame Fashion has allowed herself to
drift into the silk world and so far has
she ventured that it is doubtful if she.
herself, Is aware how completely she is
committed to the wearing of silk. She
selects her dinner gown in the rich hued
silks of medium colors, claret for exam
pie, and leaf green and cafe au lait. And
for receptions and nice out-of-door
dresses she chooses the stately black
silks, selecting MORE, gros grain, Otto
nan weave, corded and brocaded and
figured silks, while for other wear she
chooses taffetas of various colors and
kinds.
Silk has a certain warmth of its own.
Unlined it can be worn over something
warmer. Lined, it is as good as cloth
for cold day. Any way, Dame Fashion,
with her usual cleverness, is preparing
herself to wear silk, and, whether over
knitted vest or over wadded lining, it
is very certain that she will be seen a
great many times during this coming
winter in dress of brocade rivaling the
brocades which were so fashionable in
the long ago.
And this brings one to the directoire
coats, which are to be worn universally
this winter by all women who can af-
ford them. These coats, with their open
fronts, wide girdles, long tails, smart
gauntlets, and big, handsome buttons,
will be the coats of the season.
For directoire coat the woman who
dresses smartly will want at least four
handsome buttons the size of silver
quarter. Those who 60 in for extremes
can buy much larger buttons. A fash
ionable London woman has directoire
coat of navy blue satin trimmed with
four big steel buttons on the front as big
as half dollars. There are four more
at the back, which has a position effect.
There is also girdle which is caught in
front with big clasp. For winter wear
this coat can be snugly padded and lined
with oriental silk. 1t is very smart to
trim the hat with twist of the same
silk.

TOMATOES A GOOD FOOD.
Suggestions Regarding the Eating Of
Them Which It Will Be
Well to Heed.

No fruit nor vegetable is more valuable
not convey very much nutrition to the
system, but their effect upon the stom-
ach, liver and bowels is most salutary.
They may be eaten raw or cooked, as
preferred, says Medical Talk for the
Home.
There is one caution that ought to be
observed, however. If sugar or vinegar
is used, it should not be used too freely.
The good effect of the tomatoes upon
the digestive organs is often destroyed
by the enormous amount of sugar and
the over amount of vinegar used.
Ripe tomatoes, sliced and sprinkled
with salt and pepper, are appetizing and
wholesome.
Tomato soup Is an excellent food fo-
the sick. There are in market good
samples of tomato soup, already cooked,
that can be procured for such purpose.
The only fixing necessary is simply the
addition of hot water. But it would be
better for the housewife to make her
own tomato soup. It can be given to the
sick, in any stage of any disease. 1t has
a soothing effect upon the fever patient
1t will not endanger the bowels in cases
of typhoid fever, and altogether it is
much more refreshing and sustaining
than the beef Stops and beef tea that are
generally fed to sick people.
When vinegar is used on the tomatoes
it ought to be diluted with water. 1t is
a very good way, when vinegar is de-
sired. to use three parts of water to one
part of vinegar, and add the salt and
pepper to the water and vinegar before
it is poured upon the tomatoes.
If sugar is preferred to either of these,
it ought to be used sparingly. The sugar
counteracts, in great measure, the very
excellent effect which the tomatoes have
upon the stomach.
1t is said that the cowboys and trap
pers of our western plains prize canned
tomatoes very highly. Provided with
these they are able to endure great
fatigue. and tomatoes especially enable
them to Withstand scanty and impure
supply of water.

For the Toilet.

Perspiring hands are source of great
annoyance. Tincture of belladonna ap-
piled to the palms will lessen the per-
spiration. This is poisonous, so it can
not be freely used. Eau de cologne with
five per cent of dilute acetic acid is quite
harmless. A convenient way of using
this liquid is to carry a wide-necked
scent bottle containing a small sponge
which has been soaked with the prepar-
ation.-Chicago Daily News.

Shampoo for Dry Scalp.

A splendid tonic shampoo for a dry
scalp can be made as follows: Take two
ounces of white CASTLE soap, one-half
an ounce of potassium carbonate, eight
ounces Of alcohol, two ounces Of tine
ture of quillaiji, 20 drops of oil of Law
ender and eight ounces of water. Dis
solve in the water the potassium carbon
ate and soap, then add the other ingredi-
ents. Rub we'll into the roots of the
hair and then rinse we'll in several wa.
tiers. Dry, if possible, in the sun, never
in front OF fire, as this will make the
hair brittle.-Detroit Free Press.

loo Cool and loo Dry.

Commissioner of Agriculture Poole has been criticised because he has presented "blue' view of the crop situation in the growing states. And yet the observer knows that in the most critical period of our great crop there has been a marked lack of sunshine and moisture. The nights have been and still are unseasonably cool, and the days are lacking in the customary warmth of the last part of May. The cool weather has extended to every section of the cotton belt, but west of the Mississippi river an abund- ance of moisture has been helpful As one goes east from the big river he sees less and less of rainfalls. The earth Is dry and the weather cool, and the result of such weather conditions is seen in late germination and poor stands.
 It shows, too, in decreased acre age. East of the Mississippi river the cotton acreage will not be larger than it was last year, and Commissioner Poole has presented clear and true view of the crop situation. His view may not suit some speculators, but he is wholly warranted in standing by the information he has received coming as it does from expert observers ant men of excellent judgment.
 In all parts of the country the germ mating season has thus far been un favorable. It has affected corn plant

Gen. Rufus N. Rhodes.

It is generally conceded that Gen eral Rhodes, editor of the Birmingham News will be named by the conven- tion which meets in Montgomery on Wednesday next as one of the dele- gates-at-larges from this state to the St. Louis convention. General Rhodes is an excellent type of the conserva- tive democrat who 1oyes his country and ardently desires to see demo- crat succeed MT. Roosevelt in the White House.
 He would go to St Louis "to vote for the nomination of the man who can assure the most votes in the No party harmony in the years to come and for a platform simple, direct and strong" That is the first and biggest plank in his platform. It seems both just and proper that General Rhodes should be sent as a delegate-at-large to the St. Louis convention. He has never sought a salaried office and perhaps never will and the honor he now seeks is but a small reward for his services to the democratic party and should and doubtless will be, granted him without dissenting vote

The laws are ample for the protection of the bass and other valuable fish Tn our rivers, but the enforcement of them has been lax, and all sorts of evil methods for the destruction of valuable fish have been resorted to without fear of detection or punish ment. The people along the Cahaba propose to defend their fish, and the people along every other stream in this state should do likewise.
 If the laws of Alabama for the pro- tection of fish can be enforced, and the reckless checked in their barbar- ous practices, the general government can be induced to stock the rivers of lHlS Sldle Wlln the HueSI Ol HSUt III. cluding southern trout Nearly all of the so-caled trout in Alabama rivers are bass. The bass are fine fish, but even better fish can be supplied by the government. But the government will do nothing wherever dynamiting and similar practices are winked at.

The citizens of the Little Cahaba have set an example that should be widely followed, for the movement means much to this great river state.
