M RIGTNALLY Lord Darlington
 had started life with sufi- A0 ciently trnperious will, and,
 thanks to his position as a f7tded and wealthy orphan, he had been enabled to exerciee it at a very early age. The habit of seeing every one ter xffied at his mere glance grew upon hfm, and he became unbearable not only to live with, but even to meet His wife, aftsr presenting him with two sons, had died gladly, seeing no other way Of escaping her tyrant, and khe report went that he had browbeat- en her out of existence. Darlington would have married again for the sake Of his boys, but he could find no one willing tQ endure his yoke. Conse- quentiy he became something of wo- man hater and entered the political world. Tn this he met with certain amount of opposition, which did him good and might have trained him into moderately decent member of society but that his reformation was cut short by his being appointed ambassador to prominent European power.

At the end of that time he nearly caused a war and was recalled There was some talk of his being appointed vice roy for India, but those in power had sufficient pity on the country not to send him.
 Failing, from his reputation, to get another appointment, Darlington took to quarreling with his sons. Percy, the elder, had spice of the paternal tenn per and refused to submit. Conse- quently he was forbidden the house and crowned his iniquities in the old mans eyes by marrying Rosina Lock wood. The younger Vane was a fool and completely cowed by his terrible father. He married an equally meek lady, and the two were crushed by the old tyrant Finally both died as gladly as the late Ledy Darlington had done and left Walter vane to carry on the title. The old lord detested Walter as a milksop, buI he refused to ackpewl- edge George, preferring the f6oI to the clever man from sheer hatred of Bren-

sIGHTsEERs' HEADACHE.
Cause is Strain on Elevator Muscles of
the Eye.

From the London Hospital.
Academy or ''sightseers - headache Is
not uncommon experience and some re-
cent observations of Mr.. Simeon Smell ap-
pear to throw some light on its causation
Allowing that in certain instances astig-
matism or other form of ametropia is a
factor in its production, he yet argues that
there are other influencing conditions. In
support of this he quotes the experience OF
lady who always suffered from severe
headaches after visiting the theater when
she had occupied seat in the pit but was
free from such disturbance when she sat in
the dress circle. In the first position, it is
pointed out, sustained action of the elevator
muscles of the eyeballs is required in order
to see the stage, and this is exactly the
action which is required in studying a coll
lection of pictures, and more especially in
looking al those which are hung '.above the
Hne. The same experience has been noted
by Mr.. Smell in the case of cyclists. par
ucularly of those who lean over the han
dle-bars with the head lowered, and who.
therefore. In looking ahead keep the eve
pals upward. A further argument is found
In the experience of miners nystagmus
which 1t is suggested is due to WEAKNESS of
the elevator muscles of the eyeballs caused
by the constrained position in which the
miner works. There can be no doubt of the
physiological fact that lateral movement OF
the eyeballs is much more easy and re-
qufres less muscular effort than movement
in vertical plane. All this goes to show
that muscular strain is involved in sustain
ed upward movement of the eyebalIs and

CoCoANUT BUTTER.
A Table Compound to Be Made of This
Vegetable Oil.
From the English worlds Work.

From the English Worlds Work.
A new butter is now being made from the
milk of the tcocoanut. This milk, when sub
jected to a temperature of over % c., runs
into yellow oil, which is imported in great
quantities from India and Africa The bet
ter qualities of it are obtained from Ceylon
Cochin-China and Australia. The nut pro-
duces 60 per cent of oil, and one acre of
land planted with cOcoanut trees would pro-
duce over 400 pounds of oil. This has hith-
erto been used for fats for soap or for ma
chinery Oil and the better qualities en-
ployed in the manufacture of textile goods.
In France this OIL Is now subjected to a
special treatment and converted into butter.

BUTTER
The cocoanut butter, like that made from
cows milk, contains per cent of soluble
acids. 1t will keep from fifteen to twenty
days without showing any sign of acid re-
action, and 1t contains from twenty-five to
thirty times less water than ordinary butter,
while its slowness in oxidiZing makes it spe-
cially suitable for pastry and cakes, as they
will not get stale so quickly when made with
it as with other butter.
Another advantage claimed for cocoanut
butter Is that 1t seems to be an antiseptic
medium, while milk is most favorable to the
culture of microbes.
At the Central Hospital of Vienna and in
various hospitals In Switzerland expert
ments have been made with this new butter
and the results have been pronounced salts

HOWARD UNIVERSITY.
Funeral to Be Held Wednesday From
Home Of His Daughter in
Cleveland, Ohio.

Word was received In Washington this
afternoon of the death early this morning
of Rev j. E. Ranking for many years presi-
dent of Howard University and one of the
first pastors of the First Congregational
Church. His death occurred suddenly at

age
Rev. jeremiah Eames Rankin, DID,,
LID, was said to be one of the ablest
preachers Of his day He became pastor of
the First Congregational Church In 1866,
and remained there nearly fifteen years.
He took charge after a two years quarrel
in the church on the negro question. The
CONGREGATION was $4,000 in debt. had no
musical instrument of any kind, and need
ed about $4,000 to complete the building.
When he left there had been installed the
largest organ in the city, the building had
been completed, the debt had been reduced
to $4,000, and the congregation increased
from % to more than 500.
About the year 1880 DIR. Rankin's health
failed and he went to East Orange, N. j.,
where he remained three Or four years.
Then he received the proffer of the preSi-
dency of Howard University which he ac-
copied, and which position lie filled faith

Mr.. F. H. Smith. one of the prominent
business men of this city. Two daughters
Mrs. Goulder and Mrs. White, both living
in Cleveland, survive him.
Dr. Rankin was known outside of WASH
ington, and his sphere of usefulness was
not confined even to this country. He was
the author of several books of poems. and
a regular contributor to the magazines.
One of his hymns was God Be With You
Till We Meet Again. which DR.. Rankin
used to declare proudly had been trans
lated into more languages than any other
writing except the Bible.
The secretary of Howard University re-
ce1ved the news of DR.. Rankin's death from
Star reporter. The announcement was a
shock to the officials of the institution, and
preparations will be made Immediately to
observe an appropriate memorial here. 1t
is not probable that any of the officials will
go to the funeral.

oTTAR OF ROSES.
Bulgaria's Industry Has Had a Most
Fortunate Year.
4 the English Worlds Work.

From the English Worlds Work.
According to the commercial statistics
there has not been so good a year as 1903
for the production of ottar of roses in Bull
garia for thirty years. 1t is calculated that
1870 pounds of this Oil of roses were OBJ
tanned.
The distillers employ chiefly the damask
rose, which blooms in the month of May.
1t is somewhat delicate plant and a frost
will destroy the whole crop. The rose
bushes are grown in tall thickets, seven
feet apart. In the month of October some
of the leafy branches of the old rose
bushes are laid horizontally in bitches about
twelve inches in width and depth and COW
cred with good soil. In eighteen months
time these young shrubs come into flower.
The crop is gathered in between May 20
and June Is, an acre producing $500 pounds
of roses. The pickers gather the flowers
while they are In bud. These are then put
into copper stills. cone-shaped with neck
for filling, and the stills are placed upon
furnaces of masonry.
Twenty-Five pounds of roses and nineteen
gallons of water are placed in each still,
and the furnace is then lighted. The tenn
perature is gradually reduced when the wa
ter begins to boil. Alter an hour or an
hour and half about twelve quarts Of
liquid are taken away and there is a Sec

Training in Philanthropy.
From the New York Tribune

Ignorance is the chief cause of poverty
at least. of that poverty which makes any
claim on the philanthropist Most of the
want In this land Of plenty is due to lack
Of knowledge of how to make use OF re-
sources which are readily available There
is plenty of food and plenty of work, but
great numbers of those who need both
know not how to get the work and then do
it properly, or, with the money SO obtained
how to get the value of 1t in the necessaries
Of life. So the true work Of the philan-
thropist is not alms-giving. but Sympathetic
and intelligent enlightenment to which
aims giving is subsidiary. And, as the prac-
teal philanthropist is In high sense a
teacher. 1t Is necessary that he Is turn be
taught and approach his problem with a
large measure of experience and trained in
telligence. Philanthropy needs to be in
sense a learned profession. Especially Is
this true when. with our complex civiiiza-
ton. the work of relief must be highly or
ganized to be effective and avoid waste and
imposition.

wholesale slaughter of Deer.

At the recent annual meeting OF the
Browns Tract Guide Association at
Old Forge, y. Y, reports presented by
various guides showed that deer were
fairly plentiful during last season, but
II is question as TO there being any
increase in their number. The pres
ent winter bids fair to be one of the
greatest severity and as they are al
ready feeding on the cedars about the
lake shore and in many places are
confined to the balsam swamps, indi-
cations are that there viii be great
mortality among them before spring.
The Game and Forest Commission es-
timsted rot long ago that 1000 deer
had been taken out OF the Adiron-
dacks during the open season OF 1903.

far too low, and declares that about
