gether enjoyable.
Among the weeks AFFAIRS the most note
worthy was Barton Millard's trolley party

in honor OF Miss Brumback who Is very
popular and has been entertained great
deal. Everything possible was done for
the pleasure OF tho young people. and that
they had a good time goes without saying.
There have been number Of sailing par
ties, and Thursday night many members Of
Omaha's exclusive set were seen watching
the trapeze performers, drinking red lem
onnde and eating peanuts at the circus.
The only event Of prime Importance the
coming week will be the Merriam dance
on Wednesday evening at the Country club.

LarEest war vessel Ever Built in

Presence of Kanuas
People.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. l5,-The battle
ship Kansas, the largest war vessel ever
built in the east was launched at 12:47 p.
m. today at the yard of the New York
shipbuilding company in Camden, N. J.
The launching was witnessed by Governor
Hoch of Kansas. whose daughter, Miss
Anna Hoch. acted as sponsor Of the ship.
Along with the governor was christening
party of thirty Kansans.
An unusual feature Of the launching was
the fact that the vessel was christened
with spring water procured from a Cam
den county IN. j. spring. instead of the
customary bottle Of champagne. This was
the first time that water instead Of wine
had been used in launching a vessel in this
vicinity. Governor Hoch of Kansas made
the suggestion.

Rheumatism in a Portrait.

The London Lancet is of the opinion that the earliest record of rheumatic nodules is to be found in a portrait of a lady, about thirty years of age, painted by Paolo Morando, otherwise known as Cavazzola, a Neronese paint CT who lived from 14S6 to 1522.
 The portrait is one of a collection left by Signor Morelli to the Academy of Bergamo. The hands attract at tention at once, as seeming to be much older than the face. A strong light rests upon the left hand, which is in central position.
 "The abductor indicis and other in terossei are strikingly wasted, the in terphalangeal joints of the first two fingers are markedly enlarged, and there are typical rheumatic nodLles over the head of the second phalanX of the index and over the proXimal ends of both the proximal phalanges of the middle finger"
 Through the mist of technicality the layman can discern the image of pro- tracted suffering. If complete list of the remedies recommended by her friends had accompanied the portrait the story would be told in full.

Vermont Once a Republic.

The Republic of Vermont-such was the name of the Green Mountain State in the days of Ethan Allen and John Stark before she joined the union. Then her people had the marked char acteristics of free and independent race and Vermonters have ever shown themselves worthy of the brotherhood of "the old thirteen," whicn they were the first to enter after the adoption of the constitution.
 The sturdy traits which made the sons and daughters of this common wealth famous in the eighteenth cen tury have been communicated in large degree to their descendants. Aside from recent additions to the population by French from Canada Vermont al ways has been singularly free from foreign admiXture. Its people are al most entirely agricultural, and manu- featuring is carried on by only small percentage of the population.
 No slave was ever owned in Yer mont and it was Vermont judge who brought to book Southern slaveholder showing a bill of sale for slave he sought to reclaim. The bill was re- fused status in court and when the naughty Southerner demanded to be told what sort of title would be ac- ceptable Judge Theophilus Harrington replied: "A bill of sale from God A. mightyW

Is Nation of Chauffeurs.

The French nation so closely guards her supremacy in the motor world that plans are being made so that every French boy will be made familiar with the operation and the principles in- volved in the construction of the auto- mobile, says the Philadelphia Record. A course of instruction is being arrang ed for introduction into the public schools. There are a number of techni- cal schools where the details of auto mobile instructions are imparted to those who desire such knowledge.
 It is said that no city in the world gives the same encouragement to au- tomobiling as Paris. It has been de- cided that all the public hospitals shall be equipped with self-propelled ambu- iances and very speedy car has been ordered to be attached to the municipal laboratory, where all the bombs found on the streets of that city shall be ta- ken for investigation and destruction.

PAYING THE POSTAGE.
oNNNN-NN~~NN~

Postage was always a sore point in the old days. It might be either pre- paid or collected on delivery, and un- lucky recipients of long-winded epis- ties or other useless matter often had substantial grievance. The author of "The Old Farmer and his Almanac," gives few of MT. Thomas frequent hints to his contributors to pay the postage on what they sent to him.
 His first allusion to the matter was in the Almanack for 1906, and is ap- pended to compliment which he pays to highly respected Quaker corre- spondent:
 "Friend R. D. is rendered the edi- tors best thanks, for his several vau- able communications, at the same time solicits a continuance of his corre- spondence. The postage the editor will ever be happy in paying, though in some is a great looser."
 One of the 'loosing" cases appears in 1909:
 "A. R. Q. is thanked for his season. able information. Though we would remind him that his communications come so coated up that we are obliged to pay double postage on them, we would advise him in future to leave off the wrapper or pay the postage"
 Again in 1910: "E. w. and others will be kind enough to pay postage on answers to Riddles in future, or they will not be noticed"
 A little later: "G. S. our Boston querest, have no objection to his ask ing questions every day in the year, provided he pays the postage"
 E. F. in 1872 appears as a sinner against several principles: his "anec- dote is of the coarser kind, and not capable of being polished without in- turing the pith. His Meteorological observations, if correctly taken, would be useful. He will do well to remem. Der the postage in future" By 1914 the postage nuisance seems to have become intolerable. "J. H. Jr." is informed that i've conceive his Questions to be unimportant, and not worth the money we paid for them," and finally there is an emphatic pronunciamento to the world at large:
 No notice will in future be taken of any answers to queries unless post paid"

Teeth and Good Looks.

Prof. D. Symes Thompson, Gresham professor of medicine, in the course of an address at the Polytechnic, Regent street, on "The Evolution and Degen- eration of the Teeth," remarked that while the bones of man and animals had decayed greatly during the last 6,000 or 1000 years, the teeth had been preserved in much better condition. Teeth were not part of bones, but part of the skin-they were, in fact, dermal appendages. Old people were surprised to find that when the teeth of the lower jaw departed there was very lit tie of the jaw left. This produced what was called the nut-cracker physi- ognomy. Referring to the fact that the crocodile had an animated tooth pick in the form of a bird, which re- moved foreign matter, the lecturer en. forced the lesson of the necessity of attending carefully to the cleansing of the teeth, and recommended attention to them at night as being more impor- tant than in the morning. In these modern days, he said no chance was given to the tooth, because everything was cooked for man, and that was the cause of the deterioration of our teeth in modern times. Bad teeth, Prof Thompson concluded, destroyed good looks.-London Standard.
