Speaking of clothes, the Duke of
Norfolk is a man of simple tastes, and
yet he is the possessOr of the most
extravagant costume in England. The
uniform which he wears as Earl Mar

$1,000, exclusive of jewels. Seventeen
thousand yards of embroidery are
worked into the coat in god lace until
little of the original cloth is to be seen.

In the wardrobe of n German baby
there are no dainty little dresses with
frills and laces and blue ribboned pet

has, in place of these. an ample supply
of little chemises, merinO underShlrts,
and diapers, while for dress. a two
yard square of white flannel serves.
A case is recounted of one proud
American mother who exhibited with
maternal delight the dainty things she
had brought over for the expected baby.
She was much shocked and hurt to see
them all brushed ruthlesSly aside-all
but the shirts-and further to see all
the lovely baby coats. with their fine
embroidery, heartlessly ripped from the
waists. The other things, she was adj
vised, would not be needed for three
months.

THE LEMON 4 SPECIFIC.
Obviates Need of Doctors and Drugs
Should be Used Without Sugar.

Drink expert Warman recommends
the drinking of lemon water. Lemon
water, without sugar, he believes, Is
Of great medicinal value. 1t makes
beverage that will cool the blood,
clear the brain, remove DlllousneSs'
clear the complexion, and save the
expenditure of money for drugs and
doctor bills and a few other things
health drink that can not be dis
counted.
But do not use sugar with the
lemon, 1t neutralizes the effect that
would otherwise be produced. Con-
slider, for q moment, he says, q few OF
the uses OF the lemon.
In the morning, half an hour or more
before breakfast, take the juice OF half
a lemon in a glass OF cold water. IL
Will clear the system of humor ana
bile without any OF the effects OF
calomel, congress water, or any
drastic drug. But the benefit is more
than doubled by repeating this just
before retiring. This is much safer
way to get the better of bilious con-
ditlon than resorting to quinine or
blue pills.
Do not irritate the stomach by tax
Ing the lemon clear. Inc poWer4ul
acid Of the juice, when taken alone,
Is always most corrosive and invari-
ably produces Inflammation, If long
continued, but when properly diluted
so that it does not harm or draw the
throat, it does its medical work. and
when the stomach is clear of food 1t
has abundant opportunity to work
through the system thoroughly.
Not only is the drink of lemon
water an excellent liver corrective,
but, II taken in hot water Instead or
cold. it will prove a very eilicacious
anti-fat remedy.
1t is better than any drug or com
plexion powder for giving permanent
clearness and beauty to the skin.
A teaspoonful of lemon juice In
small cup of black coffee will relieve
bilious headache.
Two or three slices Of lemon In a
cup of strong tea will cure nervous

Lemon juice has also been used In

This he takes in his carriage or in his
crib, and these are never, never jog
gled or rocked. He is placed fiat on
his back for his bottle, and must not
be moved for one hour after. He is
not expected to be a soundless baby.
In fact, he is, as it were, if necessary,
made to cry for a portion of the twenty
four hours. The German nurse makes
him entirely comfortable and then
leaves him entirely alone. In a short
time he shows signs of impatience and
sets up lusty wall, thus giving his
lungs the needed exercise. There is lit
tie difference between the American
German method of feeding bottle ba-
bies, sterilized milk being used.

till the death of Mrs. Washington, in
1902. Then he began the construction
of Arlington House on land inherited
from his father. He cut winding
drive from the Alexandria-Geor
road to the crest OF the height where
Arlington House stands. Robert p. Lee,
the husband of George Washington
Park Curtis daughter, while on duty at
the War Office, always rode his horse
between home and office and used the

In the spring Of 1861 the Federal
Government established military camps
on the plateau west Of Arlington, and
1t was from these camps that the army
OF Mcdowell set out in July, 81, to the
attack of Beauregard, on Bull Run.
The buildings on the Arlington estate
were converted to hospital uses. The

The present yield of gold is double

Within the next ten years it bids fair
to double again. This advance in the

The Dressing Table.

For the German baby's bath his little
tub is filled with tepid water and he
lies entirely immersed. only his little
face above the surface, his back and
head supported on the nurses arm.
Then he is rolled and patted dry in hi Is
towels in the usual way, after which he
is dressed, not on the nurses knee, but
on the "Wicllcltisch.' or swaddlipg ta-
BILE. a conveniently high commode with
top slightly slanting, before which the
nurse stands. Ii this is not available,
an ordinary table is always used.
First, the batiste chemise is put on,
and then the merino shirt, both fas-
tened i'm the back by strings. Then
comes the diaper. and then from under
the arms the baby is simply swaddled
in his blanket. which is turned up at
the bottom and pinned together like a
meal sack.
If the youngster inclines TO curl his
legs or to lie with his knees curved
they are tightly bandaged with broad
linen band. Cruel you say? 1t seems
so, perhaps but the babies do not ap-
pear to mind. Your German nurse
never uses talcum powder unless it is
absolutely necessary.

desired chemical action, and then cast
ing it behind, keeps on advancing until

new roads between Georgetown and the
camps and these roads passed around
to the rear of Arlington. Fort Whipple,
one of the Gordon of fortifcation for
the defence of Washington, was erected
west of Arlington, and the site Of this
Civil War earthwork is now covered by
the important cavalry post Fort Myer.
Villages have come into being in that
neighbOrhood, the highways have been
improved, an electric car line built and
thus have been cut channels through
which nearly everyone passes in and
out of Arlington.
The eastern gates are at the foot OF
a long, steep hill, and there are no
graves near the Mcclellan or Sheridan
gates, though the Ord-Weitzel gate
leads into part of the cemetery where
five thousand men, mostly oolored SOL
diers, are buried.

GERMAN NURSES BEST.
MORE NATURAL METHODS EN-.
PLOYED THAN BY AMERICANS.
Early Months of a German Baby's
Life are Very Quiet and Simple
Fancy Baby Clothes Tabooed.

The mother of a large family Of
American children CHANGED to be living
abroad when the last baby was born,
and she has since often times said that
she wished all of her children had been
born in Germany.
The last little girl, during its first
three months of existence, in charge of
a native German nurse, was not only
more comfortable, but better cared for
in every way than the other children
who were born in America. The little
girl was brought up by the native Ger
man method, and this means, I'm the
FIRST place. that the German baby is
treated scientifically. Nor does this
signify by the rules of a recently ac-
quired experimental science, the result
of attending a series of mothers con-
crosses, but a science which is the in
heritance of the race.

Arlington National Cemetery has
three gateways of rare distinction and
architectural beauty, though few of
even WashlngtOn's residents are ac-
quainted with this fact. Visitors sell
dom enter or leave the majestic place
through these portals. The reason for
this is that Arlington has changed
front, or that circumstance has
changed its front. The great public
surges In and out Of Arlington through
what was the back gate. This is now
called the main west gate, and II Is a
commonplace double gate of ornate
iron rods and spears, glittered over
with gold-leaf, and such a gate as may
be seen in other national cemeteries or
Government reservations.
The beautiful gates Of Arlington
stand on the east face of the estate.

Quietude for Three Months.

The first three months of the Ger
man baby's life is very quiet. He is
allowed to grow and is handled as little
as possible. After this, if he is strong
enough, he is dressed, and his treat
ment then depends upon the family in
to which he is fortunate enough, or
possibly unfortunate enough, to have
been born.

JAP MINES FOR JApS ONLY.
Law Passed Which Will Shut Out
a*4 ECreiuncTS

Tokyo. Feb. 6.-After the most
heated debate which has just taken
place in the japanese house of repre-
sentatives, the amendment to the min.
ing law prohi biting foreigners from
working Japanese mines was passed
during Mondays session.
The bill was fought bitterly by the
foreign residents here having mining
interests in Japan, and the government
has been severely censured for advanc-
ing measure which must antagonize
certain influential interests whose
good will is believed by many to be
important and necessary at this time.
The friends of the measure insisted,
however, as mining in Japan was only
in its infancy, and as the soil and
mountains were rich in metal and
mineral deposits, all benefits to be de-
rived therefrom in the future should
be reserved by the government for ma
tive Japanese. As the law is retroac.
tive, it will play havoc with several
British, American and French syndi-
Gates having large interests in the
country.

HOMELESS MEN IN CHICAGO.
Relief and Aid Society Tells Story OF
City's Miserable.

Relief and Aid Society Tells Story OF
City's Miserable.
Fifty thousand widows and fifty
thousand children who are half-or-
phans exist in Chicago, according to
the forty-seventh annual report of the
Chicago Relief ard Aid Society.
Twenty-Five thousand homeless men
as permanent factor of Chicago
population is another item estimated
in the report. There are 5000 desert
ed women also, who are the mothers
of $4,000 children. Eight thousands
persons in the city are suffering from
tuberculosis.
or the 10000 half-orphans between
and II years of age the report says:
"Such children are pressed into SER
vice at an early age and many of them
have been poorly nourishcd on account
of the desperate struggle the mother
has had to keep her family together.
They begin therwork with poor equip
ment physically. Our aid is often in
voked where we find delicate young
girls going to their work poorly shod,
scantily clothed and underfed. This
is also the case with school children.
We also often find a boy or girl of
school age kept at home to care for
the younger children. 1t is usually
against the real wishes OF the parent,
but the father or mother must work.
or the $4,000 homeless men the re-
port declares: "They come and 20.
but this average number is always
with us. Many of them make no Sc
rious effort to improve their condition.
There are others who are honest seek
crs for work, who, having lost cour-
age and health, need and appreciate Il
friendly hand
The tuberculosis figures of the re-
port are significant. Three thousand
and five hundred deaths were record
able for tuberculosis patients in Chi
cago. Two-thirds of the 5000 tuber-
culosis sufferers in the city, or 5,;}33;3I,
are among the poor. The report says
concerning them: Exposure, under
nutrition and hard work lower the
physical tone and render the body sus-
ceptible to infection. With less than
$50 free beds available and 1888 pa
tents, it is evident that whatever
treatment these people have must be
in their own homes. When the bread
winner is afflicted the burden is espe-
cially heavy. Fresh air, good shoes,
comfortable clothing and plenty of
wholesome, nourishing food are need
ed. The family is often cramped for
with the consumptive." - Chicago

FAR FROM THE FIRING LINE.
Place of the Comm anding General in

Great Battle Today.
To-day circumstances place com
mander completely out of sight of his
army. lie is usually located at least
ten or fifteen miles from the firing line
and in many instances is even farther
away. He sits in room, where radi-
ate telephone and telegraph lines to
the remotest portion of the field, plac.
ing him In instantaneous cOmmunica-
ton with his principal subordinates.
The famous painting of Napoleon at
Austerlitz represents, in the popular
eye, commanding general directing a
great battle. But it belongs to the
warfare of the past. The artist who
aspires to depict the direction of a
modern battle must show man seated
at table on which is spread a huge
map dotted with little flags indicating
the location Of the opposing forces,
with an ordinary desk telephone at his
elbow. In an adjoining room is a
switchboard, where sit alert operate
ready to connect the commander with
any Of the field headquarters. From
this room also comes the steady click
ing Of a score Of telegraph instru-
ments, busily receiving and sending
messages.
But for he military uniforms of the
messengers and the going and coming
of staff officers, the man at the table
might be a stock operator directing,
through his brokers, a deal in steel or
railroad securities. Even the stenog-
rapher at his elbow is not lacking, but
sits quietly taking messages under die
tation, to be transmitted presently by
telegraph. Other officers copy these
messages and file them away, after
putting them under a time recording
stamp, to show the hour they were
sent, so that afterward delinquencies
may be located and responsibilities
fixed.
Thus apart from the excitement and
horrors Of the battlefield, a general sits
Il a desk and calmly directs the battle.
He hears that this attack has been re-
pulsed and that re-enforcements are
needed here, that ammunition Is run
ming low there, that this division has
been cut to pieces, that those troops
have been two days without food, and
SO on, along his forty miles of front,
and takes his measures accordingly
This picture is not fanciful. With due
allowance for the fallbility of all hui
man devices when subjected to the
strain of abnormal conditions. il Is
substantially correct-Scribners
