Does Sugar Make Strength /?

Various reasons have been assigned
for the increase in stature and strength
Of the modern maiden, who has most
certainly grown uncommonly tall and
proportionately muscular during the
past few years, says an English writer.
1t cannot be that outdoor sports, gym
nastic exercise and so on, have
stretched her out and made her as
strong as she is, because her brothers
have had precisely the same advant-
ages, and they have not developed at
the same rate. 1t seems to me, there
fore, that the secret lies in the fact,
that Of recent years girls have become
far greater consumers of sweetmeats
than ever were their mothers and
grandmothers.
Time was when we should never
have dreamt of having sweets on our
luncheon, dinner and tea tables. Now
1t would be quite extraordinary were
one not to offer these dainties. And
what is more, women are not merely
contest to eat sweetmeats at our meals
but they consume them at all times and
in all places between meals. 1t was re-
Gently said that boxes Of bonbons play
a conspicuous part in modern lovemalk-
ing, Sweets to the sweet" being ap-
parently the text by which every young
man of the day guides himself through
the devious paths of courtship.
The great Russian wrestler who is
shortly to enter again into contest with
the Turk, Madrali, tells us that the
more sweet stuff one eats the stronger
one grows. Sugar is the secret OF
strength, he declares.

ATTRACTIVE FLOWER BED.
OLD-FASHIONED GARDEN. A FAY
ORITE SPOT OF MRS.
ROOSEVELT.
This Corner of the White House
Grounds, With Its Blaze Of Color,
Attracts the Sight-Seer.

Mrs. Roosevelt's Old Fashioned Gar.
den, as the generous collection OF
posics west of the south veranda of
the White House is called, has been a
continuous mass Of bloom and color
during the summer and fall, quite
different from any Of the other Govern
ment flower displays. There are many
of these, surrounding the different de-
partmental buildings, those of the De-
partment of Agriculture being particu-
larly elaborate and ornate, but 1t Is the
opinion of summer visitors to Washing
ton that the old-time corner of the
mistress of the White House is the
most pleasing of all. At least it seems
- strike the majority of fancies, for it
recalls the scenes and times of earlier
days. This part of the White House
grounds has always been devoted to
flowers, but until Mrs. Roosevelt's ad-
vent it has been rather given up to the
latest fads of horticulture than to a
display of the familiar blooms Of the
Old-time flower garden.
The changes in the White House a
couple of years ago were officially
known as the restoration" but have,
perhaps, been more generally termed
the 'mutilation." 1t seemed necessary
that something should be done; there
was talk of reconstructing the White

POKER IN THE PHILIPPINES.
One Moro Who Knew the Game

OHS NhoTo HHo huSW tuS 0diIiS
Reports came from time to time from
Portsmouth showing that the Oriental
ENJOYS and attaches had found q great
liking for American ways and manners,
and more especially for the true Amer
lean beverages, cocktails and high
balls, and for that little bit of diversion
known as poker. On top of these re-
ports came message from q member
Of the Taft party in the Philippines
that Datto Grande, one of the leading
citizens of Bambang, had fallen down
before the Sultan of Ganassi in the
game of poker. Army officers stationed
in the Philippines are stated to have
carefully coached the DattO Grande in
this game and their estimation of their
ability to instruct has had a severe
shock, q result of the Datto'S losses of
his carabaos, wives and raiment, since,
it appears, his opponent had never been
taught how to play, but had relied upon
his untutored skill and the devices
known only to the Moros. The next
thing we may expect to learn will be
that this willy Moro "Ah Sing" has
actually taken the uniform from some
of our army officers, aye, even those
considered adopts at the game.
This news is probably of more In
terest to the people of our island pos
session and to the citizens of the United
States than is at first implied, for 1t
shows that for cunning and intelligence
the Moros show ability to defeat even
the skill of highly experienced and
practiced American army officers, and,
as an exchange remarks, 1t shows that
the Filipinos are, and of right ought
to be free and independent.

The Postmaster Generals Pants
Fitted.

Hoke Smith, Postmaster General
during Cleveland's last administration,
tells a story of darky employed at
his home who was usually the recipient
of all Of Mr.. Smiths cast-off clothing.
Many of the coats, vests and trousers,
when cast aside, were of fine quality
and as q result this negro shone in the
society of his fellowmen. On one oc-
casion the ex-Postmaster General pur-
chased an elegant pair of trousers from
Paris. Somehow, these trousers would
not wear out. Mr.. Smith would wear
them day in and day out, rain or shine,
and if apparently soiled little clean
ing up would make them as good as
new. Try what he would, the servant
could not get the master to cast them
away.
One rainy day, Mr.. Smith came home
from q ride into the country on horse
back with his trousers very much the
worse for mud and water. "Sambo,"
he said to his helper, take this pair
of pants out and give them a good
cleaning, as l want to wear them to-
morrow" Sambo came back in an
hour or two, his face sad and gloomy

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
American System of Public Education
Far Less Practical Than That
&c CarOnanu

of Germany.
The general public school education
| Of the country is complacently believed
by the majority of people to be the
best in the world. There are some,
however, who insist that much of our
education is impractical and does not
| fit the youth of the country for the ac-
tual hard knocks of life. and that our
school system should include a much
greater preparation Of Industrial work.
An examination of German educa-
tional methods places the United States
at an APPARENT disadvantage in this re-
gard. An instance of this Is seen in a
series of newspaper articles published
in Frankfort, Germany, by Mr.. Helm
rich Back. the director of the Frank
fort Industrial School, who has been
twice sent by the German Government
to study the Industrial schools Of this
country. Mr.. Back expresses surprise
that We have not provided in our
school system for training our citizens
In special directions, instead of leaving

parts Of the United States, while in the
major portion of the country little OPP
portunity is offered boys to obtain prac-
tical and thorough instruction and to
increase their value to the nation by
themselves into trained
workmen.
The German Government, on the
other hand, maintains in every part of
the empire good trade, industrial and
technical schools, drilling the youth of
the country and sending them out, each

A RATHER STORY.
Where a Miss Was as Good as q
Mile.


Mile.
"Being no devotee of hunting, I sci
dom carried anything but my revolver
while my partner, an enthusiast for
any game from bear to poker, great or
small, as / was the reverse, seldom
stirred from the tent without his
double-barrelled shotgun" said the old
| timer from Nevada.
LAS small game was fairly plenty in
that part of the Sierras Jim generally
took the right-of-way, lest it might be
frightened away before he had an op-
portunity to shoot. This afternoon,
however, we were merely going short
distance up the mountain back Of our
tent to see that our horses had not
strayed too far. The gun was taken as
a matter Of habit, but the prospect of
meeting anything for Jim to shoot was
so slight that | pushed on ahead and
was climbing the steep mountain side.
my body inclined far forward with my
head naturally but a short distance
from the ground.
"a sudden sharp gun shot report
roared in my ear, and l felt the wind
of the blast as the charge almost
grazed my cheek.
'Devilish careless, Jim,' I said,
angrily as 1 wheeled around. Don't
make game Of your best friends with
out at least slight warning, and
don't fear but that after such a start
ling hint I'll always let you take the
lead, though not even chipmunk is in
sight
"The color rushed from my face and
was succeeded by blush of shame as
Jim quietly pointed to the mangled
body of a six-foot rattler, whose head
had been shattered into shapeless

SINGULAR I INDIANS OF NORTH
VEST.
The Marriage Contract a Compile
Gated Document.

CdteO DOCufnents
Many peculiar customs exist among
the Kwakiute Indians who live along
the coast of British Columbia. These
Indians are divided into numerous
tribes or clans, entry into one of which
is obtained only through most exact
ing laws. Marriage among them Is
considered purchase which Is con-
Quoted on sound business principles.
But the object sought is not only the
woman, but also the right Of member
ship in her clan for the future children
of the couple. The privileges Of the
clan are not given as a present to the
son-in-law, but he becomes entitled to
them by paying a certain amount OF
property for his wife. The wife is
given to him as first installment OF
the return payment. The crest of the
clan, its privileges, and q considerable
amount of other property besides, are
given laser on, when the couple have
children, and the rate of interest paid
by the wife's tribe increases with the
number of children. For one child,
200 per cent. of interest is paid; for
two or more children, 800 per cent.
After the entire payment is made the
marriage = is annulled, because the
wife's father has redeemed his
daughter. If she continues to stay
with her husband, she does so of her
own free will. Oftentimes, however,
to avoid complications, the husband
makes new payment to his father
in-law in order to have a claim to his
wife.

GREAT CANALS OF MARS.
RECENT PHOTOGRAPHS ESTAB-
LISH APPARENT ARTIFICIAL
CONSTRUCTION.
The Cameras Eye, More Sensitive
than the Human Optic, Establishes
New Data Interesting Scientific
Discoveries.

| Astronomers and scientists in gen
eral are deeply interested in tn,
modest announcement made by Pro
fessor Percival Lowell and his
associates at the Lowell Observatory
In Arizona recently that after severa
partial successes and some complete
failures the greater canals. of the
planet Mars had at last been photo
graphed.
Hitherto the general public has been
compelled to accept or to reject the
existence of the Martian canals on the
word of the stargazing fraternity. But
with the accomplishment of the Har-
ward observers in Arizona everyone
will now have an opportunity to see
the actual photographs in proof of
what has long been considered as more
or less OF a theory.
While several photographs were
taken of the canals some weeks ago,
1t was not until few days ago that
the solar photographers were ready to
announce the complete success of the
undertaking. Professor Lowell, in the
following account of the achievement,
is unreserved in his belief that the
Marian canals closely correspond to
the familiar waterways of the same
general classification on this planet.
Up to the present time human
knowledge of Mars has been largely
theoretical-the principal facts regard
ing the planet being that it Is
141 100000 miles from the sun and
approximately 47,0OO,00O miles from
earth. The Martlan year has GS7 days.
Mars is 4230 miles In diameter, the
earth being 1918, Jupiter $4,000 and the
sun S66. 400 miles.
"To photograph the canals of Mars"
says Professor Lowell, 'has for many
years been a purpose of the Observa-
tory established and maintained by
Harvard College in Arizona. The first
attempt to meet with an even approxi-
mate success was made in 1901, when
n more or less satisfactory print was
made of the Mare Acidalium, or Lake
of Acid.
"Yet, encouraging as that pioneer
effort was, no canal could then be
detected on the negative with absolute
certainty. To-day we can state as
positive and final that there are canals
on Mars--because the photographs say
so, and Photographic negative Is
nothing If not truthful.
IN my firm belief, 1t Is only n
question Of time, possibly Of months,
maybe few years, when we shall be
able to determine the exact nature and
probable purpose of the canals of our
planetary neighbor. Meanwhile we
have number of excellent negatives
which have served to bring us a bit
closer to Mars than ever in the past
1.-THE negatives thoroughly confirm
the eye In showing not only the exist
ence of the canals, but reveal them as
continuous lines Of tens and even hun
dreds Of miles in length. OF course it
is yet impossible to say positively
whether the Martian canals are of
or natural creation, or exactly
Of what composition Is the liquid or
molten substance in them. But so far
as we can at present conceive they
appear as corresponding to our famil-
lar waterways classified under the
heading of canals.

Particular pets Of the Presidents
wife are hardy shrubs and ANIMALS,
too, but all of the kind with which men
and women who loved flowers a half
century ago loved to surround them
selves and with each of which for the
older generation there fingers some po-
etc or sentimental fancy. Hollyhocks,
jessamine, phloX, dahlias, China asters,
lavender, rosemary, columbine, clema-
tis, peonies and smaller shrubs and
flowers have contributed generously to
the riot of color and bloom which has
pervaded this nook during the season.
The mistress of this garden delights
to pick up new plants which are yet
old, and following her various visits
to Arlington, Mount Vernon and other
places have come many packages Of
new favorites to find an unused corner
in this old-fashioned garden.
