kuropatLin nnd osack.

There were two Russian tourists in kioto last June who drove away from the hotel each morning in a small vic- toria that seemed about to break with the weight Of their great bony frames. One was Gen Wogack, long in Japan as military attache of he Russian le- gation; the other Gen Kuropatkin. the Russian minister of war. who had come out 10 the last to inspect the defenses ef Dalny and Port Arthur, and see that all was ready in Manchuria. With an air of condeseension and contempt, he was looking over Japan to see how easy it would be to do as they pleased with the amusing little eountry-how easily he, the strong, grown man, could whip the people he calls monk eys."
 The sneerinC air Of the future con- queror and proprietor was unmistaka- ble, and when it was learned who the two raw-boned. over-sized tourists were the face of the butcher of Geok Tepe had fascination for me. Never did any one mans look better match his reputation for cruelty, brutality, implying hloodthirstiness. IL was easy 10 believe all that was recorded of him in connection with that Tureoman campaign, and to see that in his minds eye such another blood feast was be- ing pictured. with Japan for the locale.
 The butcher of so many thousands, the bayoneter of women and children, and babes, has the heavy face. the slow, sleepy expression of the cruel voluptuary There was something of the slow creep of a beast of prey, the licking of the chops of the tiger who has tasted and will again taste blood and Kuropatkin's whole sconful prog ress about Kioto for those few days vas a constant irritation 10 myself and others in the hotel.-Eliza Sk.dnore's Tokio Letter

SOFT AND VELVETY NOTES.
Government Printing Bureau Will Not Turn Out Any More
 Crisp Bills.

The days of the crisp pank-note are numbered. Instead of being crisp, the
 money which the government bureau of engraving and printing will hereafter
 -Drn out will be soft and yelYety, Il
 jmportant experiments which are now
 being conducted in the presence of treasury officials fer the purpose of
 demonstrating the advantages of a novel chemical treatment for paper prove satisfactory The result of the adoption of the new secret process, says Geyer's Statfoner. Will be 10 reyolutionize portion of the work connected with the printing of the paper money of the United States. Under the new process Il will takes just 60 days less time to manu- facture a bank-note than under the present method. The chemical solu- ton not only renders the paper soft and velvety. but it also makes it non shrinkable. By applying 1t to a Japan ese napkin that article becomes as soft and pliable as a tissue of silk The chemical preparation acts as an antiseptic and preseryatiXe. When ap- piled to old documents it seems to knit the fiber together and prevent fur ther decay Under the present process of printing paper money the paper has to be thoroughly soaked in water. While it is in this soaked condition, one side of the paper is printed. The sheet is then placed in a steam-room and kept under a high temperature for 30 days the time necessary for the ink to dry The sheet is again soaked as in the first instance and the reverse side of the bill printed. The 30-day drying process then has to be repeated h eases where a third impression on the bil is necessary. which is required when the printing is done in two colors. the wetting and drying process has to be repeated for third time. and another month Is thus consumed in it's produc- tion. Besides the delay of this process. the wetting and drying rot the fiber of the paper. and although it is "starcheG" to give it the crisp appearance. the starch soon wears out and the bill be- comes limp and worn. In printing bills on paper that has been treated by the new process no wetting is necessary The ink loses none of its luster when ap- piled to the paper as under the old process. and is thoroughly dry within 43 hours after the printing is done

BUILDING FOOD
To Bring the Babies Around.

When a little human machine tor a large one) goes wrong, nothing is sc important as the selection of food which will always bring it around again.
 My little baby boy fifteen months old had pneumonia, then came brain fever, and no sooner had he got over these than he began to cut teeth and being so weak, he was frequently thrown into convulsions, says a Colorado mother.
 Il decided a change might help, sc took him to Kansas City for a yisi;. When We got there he was so very weak when he would cry he would sink away and seemed like he would die.
 When I reached my sisters home she said immediately that We must feed him Grape-Nuts and, although had never used the food, We got some and for a few days gave him just the juice of Grape-Nuts and milk He got stronger so quickly we were soon feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and in wonderfully short time he fat tened right up and became strong and well.
 That showed me something worth knowing and, when later on my girl came, 1 raised her on GrapeNuts and she is a strong healthy baby and has been. You will see from the little photograph l send you what strong chubby youngster the boy is now, but he didn't look anything like that be- fore We found this nourishing food Grape-Nuts nourished him back tc strength when he was so weak he couldn't keep any other food on hi; stomach" Name given by Postuu Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

How 10 Rest the Eyes.

People who suffer with tired eyes will be glad to learn how a noted French author accidentally discovered an excellent remedy It is a simple method of restoring the vision to freshness when. after reading or writ. Ing for some time, your eyes begin to ache.
 One night while the author was en. gagged in writing an article his eyes gave out before he could finish. and he WAS compelled to stop. So, turning from his unfinished manuscript. his eyes fell upon some scraps of eelered siN that his wife had been using for patchwork. These gay colors had 6 peculiar attraction for his wearied optics. On resuming his work after gazing at them for several minutes he found them quite fresh. After several experiments he surrounded his ink stand with brilliant colored striped silk material. that his eyes might rest on them every time he dipped his pen into the ink. This brings instant re lief-Philadelphia Press.
