Gave Sun Perm ssi0n to Set.

Zone of the odd things that l saw
in the trip up the east coast of Africa
was the permission given each day by
one of the kings for the sun to set, %
said T. A. Rose. who recently made a
trip to South Africa. sat one of the
ports where we stopped the soldiers
we're drawn up on the parade ground
before the royal palace as the sun was
setting. With pomp and ceremony
the ruler advanced to the front of the
balcony On the second floor and ma
jestically waved his hand toward the
sun. One of his subjects explained to
me that it was the royal sanction for
the sun to set. When asked as to
whether the ruler gave his permission
for the sun to rise in the morning the
man replied that the sun must always
rise before the ruler, but that it could
never go down unless the royal hand
waved approval. The king who did
this was the sultan of Zanzibar.

necessary, for he was educated for

The Emancipation of Russia.

The defeat which sweeps Russian
naval power from the seas brings near
the reform of Russian rule.
Success in the East would continue
repression. Defeat ends it. 1t brings
to Russia more than victory would
have won.
All Russia is close to explosion. The
massacre of Armenians in Ervan, as
brutal as any in Turkey, extends the
area in the Caucasus province in
which orderly administration has ceas-
ed Polish cities rife with disorder.
The great rural provinces of central
Russia are given over to wandering
bands and to local disorder. Over all
the means for keeping order have
grown inert or are in collapse.
These conditions have checked trade
and industry, reduced railroad freights
to half their old volume, filled the cities
with unemployed and disordered all
farming operations. The autumn will
see famine near over great tracts.
After this crushing defeat, to be fol-
lowed by another as crushing on land
if peace does not come, it. will be i'm.
possible to restore order in the old
drastic, despOtic way. This is over.
Liberal institutions must come.
The bureaucracy had already begun
to tread the old path. Censorship had
been revived on local political discus
sion in St. Petersburg and Moscow.
The right of petition, granted by the
Gar, was curtailed by f0rbiddiDg meet
ings to discuss petitions. The news
paper organ of the associated Zemstvos
was suppressed
This cannot continue. The Liberal
movement will again begin active
work. A representative body chosen
by the Zemstvos is now inevitable
Public education will begin. If the
Cars government does not yield revo'
luton will come. Russia itself wal
emancipated in the Straits of Korea

WHAT MAKES HER POPULAR.

The American girl is admired and liked
at home and abroad because she is the
happiest usually the healthiest and friend
Hest of girls. She is fond of life and is
alive to everything beautiful and good in
existence. Mrs. Langtry has said that the
American woman has little to learn from
her English sisters.
DR.. Pierce, the specialist in women's dis
eases, of Buffalo, N. Y, advises simple ex-
erciscs for women, preferably in the out
door air. But many women are confined
to the house and their household duties OF
their business confines them to poorly ven-
tlated rooms.
If woman suffers from a headache, a
backache, a sensation of irritability or
twitching and uncomfortable nervousness,
something must be wrong with the head or
back, she naturally says, but all the time
the real trouble very often centers in the
womanly organs. In 90 per cent. of cases
the seat of the difficulty is here, and a
woman should take rational treatment for
its cure. The local disorder and infiamma-
ton of the delicate special organs of the
sex should be treated steadily and system
atically.
Backed up by over third of century of
remarkable and uniform cures, record
such as no other remedy for the diseases
and weaknesses peculiar to women ever
attained, the proprietors and makers of Or.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription now feel fully
warranted in offering to pay $500 for any
case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness Pro-
lapsus, or Falling of Womb which they
cannot cure. All they ask is fair and
reasonable trial of their means of cure.

PASSING OF THE TURKEY.
A Washington Market Dealer Sounds a
Note of Warning

"You fellows who insist on eating
turkey will have to take steps to pro
cure some other kind of meat before
many more moons, said Washington
dealer TO one OF his customers who saiG
he had never got enough turkey meat
If the demand of the last few years
Keeps on increasing there won't be
enough turkeys in this country in
twenty live years to count.
"Iou have heard that old story about
the vanishing buffalo? Well, sir, the
next story will be about the vanishing
hoggle and his mate.
Its all on account of too much
civiliz sti0n. The progenitor of the
turkeys you have been eating all your
life was the wild turkey. When the
Pilgrims hit the Massachusetts pike the
turkeys were as untamed as the Indian.
They had their wings and as the
pale faces began to spread out the
turkeys took to their wings and trav-
eIed west. They knew how to live.
They didn t have to be penned up and
p pampered as they now are in Rhode
Island.
The turkey tastes best when it
Uses itself on the range. You do not
need any statistics to prove that the
ranges in this country are decreasing.
Tue country is filling up with people.
Civilization is the cause of that.
Turkey raising is improbable on
small farms. Whenever small farm
comes into existence the tilier of the
soil ascertains that there is more money
ia .,other things besides turkeys A
turkey requires as much range as a
Texas steer.
And that is why We get more tur
keys now from Texas than we do from
the New England and the Middle |
States of the West. There is plenty of |
range in Texas for the bird, and that |
is why the Texas turkey is better in
every way than the turkey that is rails
ed in the East. 1t won It be MANY years
before the President of the United |
States will get his Christmas bird from |
the State of Joe Bailey.
You people who think nothing but |
turkey will do you for Thanksgiving |
aud Christmas had better get right |
busy pretty soon. Some of the pros
perity grabbers of New York have al
ready given the turkey the shake, and
are ordering English pheasants.
Il tell you. as an old tIadesman, that
the turkey is doomed. l don't know
what will take its place. but it is van
ishing
Let me tell you another thing that
you may not have noticed. The turkey
of today is not as toothsome as it was.
1t is degenerating.
Just hunt up some old granddaddy
who has tasted wild turkey, and he
will tell you that there is no compari
son between the strutter of the forest
and the pampered bird of the pen. The
wild bird had gamey flavor that your
tame one can never approach.
Il reckon you know that the turkey
in England is now only recollec tion.
SO it will be in the United States with
in the next ten years. New York

Americans are known as a dyspeptic peo-
pie. The extent of this disease may be infer
red from the multitude of so called 'medi-
cines'' offered as a remedy. They are often
in tablet form and have no value except as
palliatives of the imme iiate effects of dys-
pepsia. The man who used them may feel
better but is surely getting worse. They do
not touch the real cause of the disease. Dr..
Pierces Golden Medical Discovery is a medi,
cine specially prepared to cure diseases of
the stomach and organs of digestion and
nutrition. 1t is not made to give temporary
relief but to effect p ornament cure. In Dine-
ty-eight cases out Of every hundred it cures

KITCHEN FOR A BACHELOR.
The Modern Architect Launches one More
Blow at MatrIm0ny.

4 AS concession to the home making
instinct bachelor apartments are now
built with kitchens. They are not or
dinarily intended for men who employ
others to do their cooking, but for those
who cook for themselves.
The kitchens, indeed. in the smallest
bachelor apartments intended for men
Of modest means are about the smallest
things of sthe kind ashore or afloat,
There is just room enough for small
gas stove, a little sink, tiny refrIger
atOr and the necessary floor space TO
| enable the bachelor cook to turn
around
All the permanent appointments are
provided by the landlord. The tiny
refrigerator will hold moderate sup
ply of milk, butt and beer and the
meat of at least three meals.
Some of the bachelor cooks are con-
tent to get breakfast merely, bnt others
also prepare dinner The gas stove
will do either.
Forty minutes will ordinarily suffice
to prepare, cook and serve the brchelor
cook S dinner, and if the housekeeping
is done in partnership the meal can be
made ready in less time.
Bachelor apartments with tiny kitch
ems are on the whole an economy for
men who cannot endure the ordinary
boarding house. The kitchen does not
add greatly to the rent OF an apartment,
and the cost of meals is astonishingly
small.
The breakfast of coffee, rolls and
eggs the year around need not average
more than to 10 cents head, and
with fruit included it is hardly more
than 81 week. Dinners, including
an occasional night off at a restaurant, |
need not average more than from So so |
to So week, so that the weekly cost |
of two meals day Is below the price
charged by q pretty cheap boarding |
house.
The man who must restrict himself |
to hall bedroom and cheap board i
ing house table cannot afford even
the smallest of bachelor apartments
with the tiniest of kitchens, but twol
bachelors who are able to pay a fair
price for board and lodging and who
do not mind being their own cooks can
be exceedingly comfortable in an apart
ment with kitchen. AS things are nowI
going in New Y ork the bachelor apart
ment, which is really home, begins
to compete with the club as deter
rent to matrimony.-N. Y, Sun.
