lofty words, "let us have peace" voiced
the spirit of the hour and the peoples

of these great presidents was, at the pc

which comes to it from the American
home in naming Theodore Roosevelt as

DYE-MAKlNo PRoLoNos LIFE
Manufacture of Colors from Coal Tar Has Good Effect-Malignant
 Diseases Unknown.

The best and healthiest trade is that of dye-making from coal tar. There is no manual work that comes near 1t, for tar and the smell of it is the best of all tonics and tissue builders. The average life of a tar worker comes out at Sc years. The mortality is 80 per cent. low. CT than in any other factory trade. Ma lignant diseases are almost unknown in aniline dye factories, and even in epi- denies the workers suffer very little. And there is nothing like tar works for keeping off influenza. Yet the work of actually making the tar, which falls to the gas and coal works, is virulently un- healthy, because of the sulphur fumes; but when the tar is finished" 1t brims with health and strength and the weak Hest men improve while working it. Eighty-six years is marvellous average when we remember that the average length of life for the whole population is only 49.

ANTIQUE CHAIRS TO ORDER.
Paris Woodworkers Devise Scheme for Giving Furniture Desired
 Worm Eaten Appearance.

The vast industry maintained in Paris to pawn off fake curios and antiquities on unsuspecting Croesuses has hit upon a new plan Ticks" or wood fretters, required to give psuedo-antique furni- ture an air of old age, are now "culti- vated" in large droves on potatoes. Formerly they were hard to obtain, but now there are millions of the vermin. The falxirs let loose the wood fretters on the imitation furniture before it is painted or varnished. They are allowed to 'work" for about six weeks-if they worked longer, the chair, sofa, or table would fall into dust. After six weeks the worms are killed by a discharge of x rays. Only then the piece of furni- ture is painted and upholstered and ready for the antique parlor.

TRADES OLD LOVE TOKENS
Society Man Puts in "T4ock" Symbols of Affections Belonging to Girl
 Acquaintances.

A society man whose perfect dancing, according to the Baltimore Sun, is the envy of all the men he knows and the admiration of all the women, stopped on Charles street the other day to greet an acquaintance.
 "I'm amusing mself this morning sell- ing old jewelry," said the society man.
 "Old jewelry! Whose?" queried his acquaintance.
 why, the returned love tokens of a lot of girls know. Things they have given men whom they adored for brief season and with whom they exchanged gifts of jewelry, which, like the cat, came back when coolness ensued.
 "But the funniest part Is their reasons for parting with these souvenirs of af- fection-they want the money to buy mementos for other men who have sup planted the first in their changing affec- tions Hence my mission to tho pawn shops and dealers in old gold" He drifted away to seek T sign of three balls, humming the waltz that was played at the Spielgartenfest and dangling in his pockets the love tokens, some of which were worn as pledges of never-dying af- lection on that occasion.

SOLDIERS EXPECT DEATH.
War Correspondent Says That Chief Characteristic of Japanese Is
 Lack of Care for Self.

Count von Gattler, a German nobleman and ex-oficer, who is war correspondent for large German paper. gives some typical examples of the Japanese sol- dier's contempt Of death. He does not fight for his home and country as does the European soldier, but goes into bat tie with the determination of 8 man who has decided to commit suicide. When leaving home he considers himself des- tined to die. During the whole war Admiral Togo has not exchanged let ter with any member of his family, and has positively forbidden anybody to write him as long as the war lasts. Gen. Inonye has forbidden anyone to write in case any of ffis four soldier sons Is killed. When leaving home the Japanese soldier absoives his fiancee from her promise to marry him, saying:
 You are free, as I am going to die."
 The married soldier tells his wife to consider herself widow, and leaves her with the words:
 ''You will never see me again. Manage our affairs as well as you can, and see that our children get a good education. and bring them up to respect my mem ory."

ARIZONA SNAKE DANCES.
General Public Hears Little of the Hopi and Moki Indian
 Ceremonials.


 With each recurring odd year, rumor has 1t that the Hopi or Moki Indians of Arizona will again handle live rattle snakes at Haulpai and will speed them on their way to the other world with prayers for rain, says Field and Stream. The general public hears but little of any snake dances, other than the public handling at Haul pal on the first Mesa, whereas the same ceremony is always observed Q few days beforehand at Mishongnevi, on the sec pnd Mesa, and Is even more interesting thereon account of more reckless hand ling of the snakes and is more available for information and photographs, be- cause less visited. Beside these, on each even year the snake ceremony is ob- served at Cipaulow and Shengopavi on the second Mesa, and at Oraibi on the third Mesa. Alternating biannually with Bach of the i've snake dances are i've diate ceremonies, also of nine days dura- ton, and quite as interesting as the snake dances. Preceding each of the five snake and five flute ceremonies are sunrise races and processions of much interest and beauty, culninatiug in receptions by the villagers who strive to secure and carry away some souvenir of the occa- sion As the Hopi reckons his years by snows, his months by moons, his days by sleeps. and his hours by the position of the sun, no one can predict just when the snake dance will take place, though it is safe to say that the public handling of snakes at any of the five villages observ- ing the ceremony will be between August IA and 26.
