The recent remark Of United States
senator about the ace" led Represent
atiye SulZer of New York to recall a
poker game long ago when money was
not SO plentiful as it Is now and when
expectations figured largely in the as
sets Of the then budding legislator and
his associates.
There had been a game the night be-
fore. and young Mr. Sulzer was in his
office awaiting reports concerning 1t.
Finally one Of his friends dropped In.
1T was great" explained his friend.
"And the stakes were high. Why, !!
lost $l,700 myselfY'
Sulzer was beginning to wonder
whether the friend had robbed bank
or whether he had come suddenly into
a legacy he had been expecting from
an aged aunt The friend relieved his
anxiety, however. by concluding his
remark with:
"And the worst part Of 1t was that
80 cents was In cash"

The Strange Career
Of Prince Khi1koff

Prince Khilkoff, the Cars Minister
of Public Works and Railways, who
has charge of the transportation of
Russian troops to the seat of war in
Manchuria, is man of remarkable
ability. He has had an interesting
career, and one very unusual for a
Russian statesman His father was
a wealthy and powerful nobleman, but
khilkoff quarreled with him when he
was twenty years old and left home,
declaring that he would never accept
another kopeck from the paternal
bounty
The young nobleman, who had been
used to the luxurious life of the Rus
sian court, worked his way across
the Atlantic and landed in Philadel-
phia. almost destitute He promptly
went TO work at anything he could
find to do, from Singing hash to
numerous American frienus said.
At last he got position in a large
machine shop in Philadelphia, his
first job being to make steel bolts
He worked his way up until he be-
came manager OF the concern, and
before ne left America he learned the
railroad business from start to finish,
from oiling a truck to managing sys-
tenn. At one time he ran locomotive
on the Pennsylvania Railroad
After he had become a successful
man, he went back to Russia, entered
the Cars service, and rose rapidly
to his present position through his
knowledge of railroading
When the Trans-Siberian line was
decided upon, he revisited the United
States to examine American railway
systems again and see what fresh
hints he could gather If he had had
his way, the line would certainly have
been better built than it is. He de-
vised the plan of carrying trains
across Lake Baikal ON steam ferries,
after the American style, which had
never been thought of in Russia be-
fore

How Americas Celebrities Are Dis
tributed.

According to the biographical die
tionaries of America, the State of New
York leads in celebrities. Of the a.
500 men and women whose names are
included in one of the leading diction-
aries, 1910 were born in the Empire
State and 3,675 live within its boun-
daries. MASSACHUSETTS was the birth
place of I,42i and is the residence of
1927, while 1928 first saw the light of
day in Pennsylvania, and LOO have
their homes therein.
Alaska, Montana, Oklahoma, Idaho
and Wyoming have not produced any
well-known men, according TO this au-
thority, but seven have taken tip their
abode in the far northern territory. &c
in Idaho, az in Montana, 80 in Okla
homa and IS in Wyoming.
On the other hand the Philippines
have given the country two celebrities
and twenty now labor there.

r. Of the privileges of the
King of Siam which none Of
his subjects may share is to

VI OlclIll WlilNll llOllC "
~ his subjects may share is to
keep in his employ a corps
OF dancing girls who trip the light
fantastic toe before His Majesty when
he is weary of the affairs of State
and would be amused. These girls
must not only be able to dance many
intricate steps with grace and spright-
illness, but must also be able to sing
songs to accompany the dances. Can
dldates for admission to the royal
corps of dancers begin their education
when they are five years old, being
at that early age put in charge OF
dancing masters and singing teachers,
who keep them steadily at work for
years. until they become the most sup
pie and lissone little singing creatures
imaginable.
In the school where they are train
ed there IS a gymnasium, where they
pass much time in various exercises
calculated to make their limbs and
bodies flexible and strong. One OF
the exercises consists of bending over
and picking up straw from the floor
with the eyelids. Not all the girls can
do this, it being task possible only
to the youngest and most supple
among them. Beginning training at
the age Of five, when girl is fifteen
she is thought fit to dance before
the King and joins the older dancers.
A girl of fifteen in Siam is like girl
of seventeen in this country in de-
velopment. After joining the regular
dancing corps the girl must still con
tinue her gymnasium practice, so that
she will preserve her suppleness and,
more than all, so that she will not get
stout. A fat dancing girl is horror
upon which the King would not look,
so the girls have to be careful and not
eat too much, as we'll as persevere in
their athletic exercises. The favorite
dance of the King is the coup dance"
which is performed by the youngest
of the dancers or by the little girls
undergoing instruction.
In great hall, splendid with carv-
ing and rich with gliding, a class of
little girls from the dancing school
will take station on the marble floor
with the King and his court seated
around. The girls are gaily dressed
in embroidered muslins of various
colors-pink, blue, white and yellow
and wear many ornaments of gold and
silver, or else are covered with flow
ers of tropic sort The music strikes
up, slow measure at first, and each
girl places cup of jade, malachite,
amber or some precious material filled

ton IT the cold was severe in its on

you will see that the storm has passed.
But If the cold has settled down anil
will not let go its hold, and if it IS
impossible for you to nurse it and
so shorten its duration, then you may
mitigate the annoyance in many was
and prevent the distressing symptoms
from writing themselves all over your
face.
If the cold settles in the head, stop
ping the nasal passages, you must
take steps to relieve the inflammation,
otherwise you will be caught breath
ing through your mouth, and nothing
could possibly be more disastrous to
good looks. Simple vaseline works
like a cham in this matter. Rub the
upper part and sides of the nose with
it, including the space between the
eyebrows, the forehead just abovs
them, and the temples. Rub hard and
make the skin absorb all the vaseline
it will. In doing this at night you
may leave the vaseline on the skin,
which will absorb more of it during
the night, and it is well to leave it on
as often as you are not to appear in
public Immediately afterward If it
must be removed, battle it off with
warm water. Dust on little powder
to remove the oily look. Repeat the
process as often as the nasal stopping
recurs. At the same time, gently rub
a little vaseline on the inside of the
nostrils as far as you can reach, and
snuff it up further. 1t allays the in
hammation and soothes the smarting
which often occurs.
There is usually much chapping of
the lips and outer edge of the nos
trils. Nothing is better for this than
the old-fashioned camphor ice. Buy
it of reliable druggist, scrape off a
bit with the finger nail, soften it over
the gas and apply it to the chapped
skin at night.
From beginning to end see to it that
the system is kept thoroughly cleans
ed On this depends the Fastening OF
the cold and the salvation of the COM
plexion. There is great tendency
toward clogging of the pores. Eat
fruit, either stewed or fresh, drink
hot water before breakfast, and re-
sort to medicine if absolutely neces-
sary Give the face warm bath every
night to cleanse the pores, rub it af-
forwards with coarse towel. Rub in
cold cream, as much as the skin will
take, wiping off all that is left outside

Avoid powder as much as you can

ton to clog the pores when they are
not acting we'll of themselves. But
above all, keep the system clear

Perhaps you are victim of fever
blisters, the unbecoming malady
known as cold sores. They are
trial to any woman's vanity. They
cannot even be covered by an old
time beauty patch. But one need not
suffer from them long. Usually pow
dered borax will drive them away in
haste; moisten the surface of the bis
ter SO that the powder will adhere,
then plaster it on and keep it there
as long as you are not on dress pa
rade. If the blister is obstinate, try
this lotion: Il ounce ointment rose
water, S grains camphor, u dram sub

2rrowroot.
lfs your eyes are at all weak they
probably succumb to cold at its first
announcement, and the most express
sive orbs lose all their beauty under
such circumstances. They turn red,
the lids become swollen, there is a
general "weepiness" about them. Be
very careful of them for few days.
Serious eye troubles have often re-
suited from using them during a
period of irritation. With other parts
of the body it is different. They can
put up with a strain and recuperate
later on when they have chance.
But the eyes are unforgiving; they
never forget an injury and often pay
you back severely later ON.
There. is no better wash to reduce
the inflammation and Danish redness
of eyelids than a mixture of ounces

music quickens, and, moving to its
rhythm, the girls begin to dance, all
the time bearing the full cups of water
on their heads and not spilling drop.
At one part of the dance the children
all kneel down facing the King and,
folding their hands, bow until their
foreheads touch the marble floor,
keeping the cups upright meantime by
sending them back upon their heads
with a series of little jerks of the neck
skillfully executed. AS they raise
their heads they wriggle the cups back
again in the same manner and then,
springing to their feet, continue the
dance. r

upon you, and, in spite of
Il L every warning and lecture,
you have acquired your fall
cold or will soon do so. The good
people who write and read long dis
cusslons upon the prevention of colds
must feel discouraged. They preach
year IN and year out, and the colds
so sneezing and coughing on as
cheerfully and uninterruptedly as ever
before, quite as in the days before
hygiene was made a science for the
study of every primary school child.
You wouldn't feel quite at home
without your colds. You would con-
slider yourself abused if you could not
get your shoes wet as often as was
pleasant, and sit in the wet shoes af-
forwards. You would feel injured if
anybody made you put on long
sleeved underwear just because the
weather had turned crisp. You must
have the privilege of sitting in a
strong draught to rest when tired and
overheated. There's as much use in
telling you how to ward off colds as
there IS in telling you how to avoid
Cupid's arrows. All that you want to
know is, how to be pretty now that
the cold is upon you and you are red
eyed and red-nosed and rusty in the
joints.
In the first place, now that the cold
is upon you, it is just as we'll to take
precautions while you are in docile
mood. Even though the horse is out,
there is no reason for not locking the

to prolong the cold now that it has
gained foothold.
Within the first twenty-four hours
almost any cold can be broken up if
YOU give yourself over entirely to the
business of doing so. After this time
it is usually impossible to do more
than modify it If you have the op-
portunity to seize it in time, go to
Turkish bath or take the best sub
stitute you can at home. The bath in
either case will be worse than none
if you do not go to bed Immediately
afterward and stay there, muffled aud
perspiring, for long sleep.
If you take the bath in your own
tub, make it as hot as you can com
fortably endure, have big tumbler

bolt at the end, and jump into bed be-
fore any chill can strike you Be sure

Where the Buckwheat Cakes Come
From.

1t were we'll for the devotee of the
buckwheat, when he sits down to a
heaped-up plate of the steaming
breakfast dish, to call down blessings
on the heads of the farmers of New
York and Pennsylvania. If they
should suddenly determine to quit
raising buckwheat many a buckwheat
cake lover would have to dispense
with his favorite dish. New York
alone produces 100000 bushels, and
Pennsylvania 100000 bushels, the
two States together giving the coun-
try all but four million bushels of its
annual crop The State with the next
largest yield is Maine (73o,ooo
bushels). Tennessee shows the small
est production, less than ten thou
