Nothing takes the dust more freely
than plaster objects, more or less artIs-
tic, which are the modest ornaments
OF our dwellings. They rapidly con.
tract yellow gray color of unpleas-
ant appearance. Here is n practical
method for restoring the whiteness:
Take finely powdered starch, quite
white, and make a thick paste with
hot water. Apply when still hot with
a flexible spatula or n brush on the
plaster object. The layer should be
quite thick. Let IT dry slowly. On
drying the starch viii split and scale
of. All the solled parts of the plaster
VIII adhere and be drawn off with the
scales.

useless toys in time of peace" If off, eers do acquire that habit they will en- deayor to take their useless toys with them in time of war. as the English did in South Africa and the Russians have done in Manehuria. Gen Nogi has be- come acquainted with the bad habits of some Russian officers and the extent to which they interfered with discipline and efficiency.
 In army and navy matters Japan is the teacher at this moment and the West Is the pupil. If Gen. Kuropatkin had taken lessons in modesty from the Japs he would not have. said boastfully tEat terms of peace would be dictated at Tokyo. If Russian officers had been educated in accordance with Japanese theories the Russians would have fared better on sea and land. It is too much to expect of the military men of the West that they will be as severe critics ot their own campaigns as Gen. Nogi IS of his, but they may learn from Japan how to make armies and nayies more efficient. They will have to if they wish to gain any credit in a war against that country.-Chicago Tribune.

THE MODEST NOGr

Gen. Nogi, the captor of Port Arthur, wrote to a. friend immediately after the surrender of that place that his feeling was solely one of anguish and humil- iation' that he had expended so many lives. so much ammunition and such a long time' in exhausting Gen. Stoes- sells patience. He asks his friend to forgive his long display of military unskillfulness."
 If an European or an American gen. eral. were to express himself in this fashion after such a feat as the cap- ture of Port Arthur, everybody would call it mock modesty and say that he was fishing for a contradiction and a compliment. But when Gen. Nogi dep- recates his exploits and taxes himself with lack of military skill he may be in sad earnest.
 The Japanese commanders on land and sea have been notable for tfsfr avoidance of brag both before and af- ter success. They A1ave used no boastful proclamations. They have not promised victories, but have quietly won them and then given all the credit for them to the Mikados divine ances- tors. It may be that Gen. Nogi really believes he should have taken Port Arthur in less time with less loss of life, and feels 1t his duty to admit it.
 Military men of the white race may be incapable of the frame of mind wbich prompted Gen. Nogis confession of his shortcomings, but some of them taan lob fflt1 the warning of the Japanese general that military men must fall into the inconvenient and mischievous habit of regulating their clothing and appurte- nance by unmilitary standards They must Spartan simplicity and shun "the pernicious habit of acquiring costly and

WEDDING RITES.
Curious Ceremonies That Took Place

Curious Ceremonies That Took Place
 in the Prussian Court Marriages.
 Although the ceremonies at court weddings are much alike all over Eu- rope, still certain special customs and peculiarities have been preserved for centuries at the Prussian court. Each princess bride, before starting in the bridal procession to the court chapel for example, is adorned with a so-called princess or bridal crown, which is spe- eially designed for this purpose. It is to be presumed that the empress will in this case place the crown on the fair head of the affianced bride of her eldest son, the Duchess Cecille Of Mecklen- burg. The present young duchess is not the first Princess of Mecklenburg who has worn the princess crown. Once, and only once, in the annals of the Prussian court did princess wear an imperial crown, and that was also a Princess of Mecklenburg, Sophie Luise, who was married to Frederick I. of Prussia as his third consort in 1708. This formality took place just before the marriage ceremony, and signifed not only a bridal adornment, but 8 coronation.
 Another special ceremony belonging to the Prussian court, and based on an old traditional saying, is the so-called Spiel Court. This takes place at all marriage ceremonies at the Berlin court, but is omitted if the wedding is held at either of the residential castles of Potsdam or Cilarlottenburg, This

4 GOOD AUTOMOBILE LAW.

New Jersey has good roads on which automobiles can run well, and she also has a good law for the control of the automobiles. The law has just been made. It allows to automobiles the req sonable speed limit of twenty miles an hour, and then qualities this by the important and proper limitation, that they shall never be operated lat any speed greater than is reasonable, hav- ing regard to the traffic and the use of the highways, or so as to endanger the life or limb, or to injure the property of any person." Violations of the law, or reckless use of an automobile, are punishable offenses, by fines ranging from $15 to $10O, CT by imprisonment when fines are not paid,
 Such law as this, properly enforced, as it is likely to be by the New Jersey authorities, ought to settle the pressing automobile question for that State. Automobiles which are never operated lat any speed greater than is reason-- able, having regard to the traffic and the use of the highways, or so as to endnnger the life or limb, or to injure the property of any person., wont do much harm.

WELL MEANT.

All kinds of ways to get people to go to meeting, where they don't really want to go. A minister in Des Moines has made a request that his congrega- tion abandon the practice of wearing fine clothes to church, for he believes that poorer people. ashamed of their simple or shabby dress, are kept away from the sanctuary. ''I asked my peo- pie to come to church in their simplest clothes. If, when the service hour ar- rives, they are without coats and col- lars, they are just as welcome, and their appearance so may bring others to services who will not bother with starched shirts and collars. I propose to make the poorer people feel that they are as welcome in our church in over alls and jumpers as in a Tuxedo or a Prince Albert, and I will do it, if I have to shed my coat and preach ill my shirt sleeves"
 This is well meant, but we don't be- lieve it will fill the Des Moines meeting house, or even add largely to the as- sernbly that has been in the habit of assembling there. People in this coun- try who really want to go to meeting can get clothes good enough to go in, and they take an honest and proper pride in fixing up" little.

4 GOOD EXAMPLE.

Goodness knows and badness also knows, that the insane Fourth of July celebration is tough enough when it is confined strictly to the Fourth, or the Third and Fourth. But it isn't. It runs along for, several days in small way. A commendable effort is to be made in New York this year not to have the celebration as long as usual. Commissioner. McAdoo has issued an order to police commanders to pay par ticular attention to the suppression of the discharge of fireworks before the Fourth. He says: Commanding off, cers will take such measures as their experience and knowledge of their re- spective territories may suggest, and will impress upon the members of their commands on patrol duty, and upon the men doing duty in plain clothes, the law in this regard is strictly en- forced. Where offenders are of an age to permit arrests they must be arrested if they persist in this unlawful prac- tice. Where the offenders are young children a warning to them or to their. parents, or to both, would ordinarily stop them from committing this nuis- ance. Hospitals and houses where it is known that there are sick persons should receive special attention, but this does not mean that other parts of the city should be neglected.
 This is a good example for the big city of New York to set. It ought to be initiated in every city in the Union.

TRADE IN SIBERIA.

The British Board of Trade has just published the report of MT. H. Cooke, who was sent out by one of it's commit tees in 1903 to report on the conditions and prospects of trade in Siberia. His investigations were ended by the war, and his report refers only to the re- gions west of Lake Baikal. It is not particularly sanguine. The market for agricultural machinery, MT. Cooke says, has been secured to a large extent by 'enterprising competitors from other lands though the British are holding their own fairly well in the matter of mining appliances. Russia, he says, has 8 practical monopoly of the sale of clothing and provisions. Outside agri- culture and mining, the country, he says, is scarcely ripe for any apprecia-
 ble import trade. The level of culture is low and the requirements proportions ately few and moderate With no great town or city life, with no manu- facturing industries worthy of the name, with no extensive capital, with no landlords or gentry to initiate im- proved systems of cultivation, with enormous expanses of territory, and, comparatively speaking, a scantily diff fused population, the main prop of the whole country is the peasant tiller of the soil, and the chief hope of it's pros uprearing. An increased import trade will follow the expansion of his de- n1snds. Improved communications have already wrought minor changes
