This invasion of the south at this
particular time is one of the most dra
matte steps an executive OF the United
States has ever taken. While the
president is one of the most popular
men in the country, he has not been
able to induce congress to follow him
on many of the questions he has

WHAT'S ROMAN FOR 1905?
Congress, Divided Between MDCCCCN
and MCNV, Wants 20 Know.

and MCAV, wants 20 Know.
A classical quandary will be debated
in the house of representatives this
winter which will draw out the aca
demic accomplishments Of a score Of
members, says a Washington CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. Carrere q Hastings, the ar
chitects of the house office building,
have had cut in the cornerstone Of that
structure in one long and very plain
line the letters ''MDCCCCV," to tell to
this and all coming generations that
the great building was erected in the
present year of grace. Already dis
cussion has started among leading of
ficials and government architects as to
the correctness of the inscription.
1t is urged that it should be "MCMV."
Those who have had the temerity to
suggest that it should be plainly 1905
have been told that they had no soul
for the artistic, and such an inscription
has from the start had no chance what
ever Carrere & Hastings insist that
they have the Roman way of saying
1905 down fine because it is written in
this way on the New York Public IL
brary. In the case Of that mineral the
whole matter was finally submitted to
professors at Yale and Harvard and
the French institute. AS opposed to
this the point has been raised that on
the face of the Roman sundial the
hour Of four is never written "IIII,
nor, in fact, are four letters ever used
to produce a mineral in Roman meth
cd. 1t is claimed that as long as 10 Is
indicated by the letter XIX" and 100
is indicated by the letters 'CXC" there
is no logical reason for changing the
form when indicating 100 times - OF
10 times 100.

The latest new postage stamps are
a decided novelty, says the Westmin-
ster Gazette. Issued in Italy, they are
reserved for franking the correspond
ence Of the noncommissiOned officers
and men of the Italian army. There
are different stamps for various corps
and regiments and consequently a
large number of designs. For Instance.
on the stamp assigned to one regiment
is the portrait of its colonel, on anoth-
er representation of a court martial
and on others views of the cities where
particular corps are stationed, while
on the stamp specially reserved for the
Bersaglieri appear few notes Of mu-
sic-those of the first bar Of their ia
nous refrain. None of these stamps
will be offered for sale by the authori-
ties, nor should they be sold by sol
diers, and collectors will doubtless eX
perience some difficulty in obtaining
unused specimens.

At this season millions of americans
eat grapes, seeds and pulp together,
with little thought of appendicitis or
any other danger, says the Cleveland
Leader. Thousands use them with
care to reject the seeds for fear they
may make trouble for the curious and
apparently useless yermiform appen-
dix. An unknown but surely large
number deny themselves the whole
some and pleasant fruit of the vine be
cause they have a more or less definite
idea that risk to life and bodily vigor
lies in its juicy globes Meanwhile
hundreds of millions of the people Of
Europe and Asia--the Italians, Span
iards, Portuguese, Greeks, French,
Germans, Austrians, Hungarians,
Turks and Persians-eat grapes to an
extent uncommon III America. If they
suffer as often from appendicitis as
the most careful people of this cOuntr"
there are no records which indicate
such conditions. The weight Of evil
dence clearly acquits the grape seed.

JOLLY ORDER OF CARABAO.
Enemies of Thirst In Army and Navy
Organize In Philippines.


If you happen to see an officer of the
United States army or the navy carry
ing a short, slender black stick you
may know that he is a CarabaO, says
the,Washington Post.
Now, the carabao is the water buff
falo of the orient and especially of the
Philippines. The animal is so impor-
tant in the islands that when some
American officers who had seen sery-
ice in the Philippines were casting
about for a name suitable to an order
formed among themselves they hit up
on this Spanish name of the water buff
falo.
SO the Order of the Cardiac is plain
English for society of the water buff
falo This society was formed not
gravely, but in sport. All the officers
have absurd and high sounding titles
in a sort of bastard Spanish, and the
doings of the society are wholly frivO-
lous.
In one particular the Order Of the
OdEdDdO Initiates llS 1idAACStlhC' AiC
water buffalo is upon all ordinary Oc-
casions docile and gentle, but when the
madness of thirst seiZes the beast,
which it does very frequently all else
is neglected until the thirst of the mo-
ment is quenched, and woe betide the
person or thing encountering the rush
of the herd for water
1t is so with the Order of the Cara
baO. When the members, few or many,
are assembled and engaged in what
ever talk or business, at the agreed
thirst signal all else is laid aside until
every Carabao has the wherewithal to
quench his thirst.
1t Is only in rare instances that wa
| ter is the fluid chosen for this purpose.
The haste and unanimity with which
the assembled members of the order
break off in the midst of whatever
business or pleasure may engage them
to respond to the thirst signal is sight
to move the mirth and amaZement of
the casual stranger.
| The distinguishing mark Of the order
is the short. slender black stick. The
stick is made of piece of the water
buffalo's horn. Upon the end of the
little silver head appears the effigy of
the animal itself, and on the side of
the head are engraved the initials of
J the owner and his number in the Order
of the CarabaO
/ This little wand is intended for nei-
) Their offense nor defense. 1t is, in fact,
| the equivalent of the swagger stick
carried by many British officers. This
is often as not a light riding stock, and
it is intended more than anything else
to give employment to the hands, so
that they shall not find their way into
! the pockets.

A TRIBUTE TO HENRY IRVING.
KindIiest of Men on Stage and on
Says Miss Cecilia Lotus.


Miss Cecilia Lotus, the actress, re-
Gently paid the following tribute to the
late Sir Henry Irving, the famous
English actor, who was, in manner,
her teacher and leader during ten
months of stage experience, says d
Detroit special dispatch to the New
York World:
81 feel that Sir Henry Irving's death
was a personal loss to me. He was
most lovable man, and during the sea-
son of 1902, in which I was a member
of his company, 1 learned to love and
admire him for his many charming
qualities.
II played Marguerite to his Mephis-
topheles in Faust for six months in
London and for four months in the
provinces, and l may say it was the
happiest and most satisfactory season
of my stage experience.
ION the stage and off Sir Henry was
the kindliest of men. That mannerism
in speech so much mentioned was nat
! ural to him, and the tones that were
accumulated in order that speech might
carry across the footlights became
much softer and were pleasantly mod
ulated in private conversation.
Sir Henry had his peculiarities, it is
true, and they were sometimes dis
concerting. For Instance, in Faust
Mephistopheles in one scene is hidden
behind a tree while Marguerite Occu-
pies the stage. At these times it was
Sir Henry's habit to continually read
my lines ahead of me, circumstance
that was somewhat confusing. This
was a habit that grew upon him with
years.
while on our tour Miss Terry, Law
renee Irving and | occupied private
car r-ith Sir Henry, and | used to look
forward to each Sunday as time Of
| pleasure, for then the great tragedian
| descended from his heights and while
we travelled jOked and told us funny
stories. The last night that l was
with him he came to me just as | was
| about to go on for the jewel scene, and,
standing there in his habit as Mephis
topheles, he drew a necklace about my
throat, giving me at the same time his
| best wishes.
Later we attended a banquet in his
honor given by the lord mayor Of Liv-
! erpool, and when called upon to re-
spond to the speeches addressed to him
Sir Henry insisted upon rising and tell
| ing the people assembled that l was
| about to leave him, how sorry he was
and how he hoped l might some time
return to his company. 1t was embar-
RAISING for me, and yet it was one of
the great pleasures Of my life.
"Sir Henry was a fatherly man to
those who were younger than he and
whom he liked / remember as babe
him goodby that night he kissed my
| forehead and hand and called me his
little girl
"You can readily see that all my rec
elections of Sir Henry Irving are of
| the pleasantest l had all along been
looking forward to seeing Li+A this
year, and it had been my hope that
might be associated with him once
] more professionally"

Clarence Ringler while coon hunting
in the woods near Trout Run, Pa, on
a recent Saturday night freed a black
bear, says a WilliamspOrt Pa9 special
dispatch to the New York World 1t
was too dark to distinguish his hiding
place, so Ringler camped at the foot of
the tree until dawn. Then he remember
ed that there is a penalty Of $25 for
shooting on Sunday, but if he left the
tree the bear would come down and es-
cape. There was no other way than to
remain on guard, and this he did until
6 o'clock Monday morning, when he
shot the bear. 1t weighed 2S7 pounds.

submersible Boats For French Navy,

An important step has been taken by
the French naval department, accord
ing to the London Globe, for providing
the French feet with submersible
boats, as distinguished from subma-
rines. Eighteen of these boats Of a
size larger than any yet laid down
are to be built at Cherbourg. They
are to have displacement of 1853 tons,
a length of $50 feet and a surface
speed of II knots. The boats, which
will move by steam on the surface,
will be provided with twin screws and
engines of 700 horsepower. On each
boat there will be seven or eight tor
DedO tubes.

In wedding sermon entitled "The
Rib Restored preached in st. Dionis
Back church, Fenchursh street, in 1866,
by Richard Meggot, afterward dean OF
Salisbury, the preacher thus defined a
good wife:
"a help she must be in her family,
being not only a wife, but housewife
not a field wife, like Dinah, nor a
treat wife, like Thamar, or window
wife, like Jezebel, but a HOUSEWIFE
And another preacher about the same
date, the Rev. Simeon Singleton, said
that a wife should be at once like ana.
unlike three things. First, she should
be like snail, always keep within her
house; but she should not be like q
snail, carry all she has upon her back.
Secondly, she should be like an echo, to
speak when she is spoken to; but she
should not be like an echo, always to
have the last word. Thirdly. she
should be like the town clock, always
keep time regularly; but she should
not be like the town clock, to speak SO
loud that all the town may hear her.
