King Leopold will leave fortune oR

Belgian people for works OF public util-
ity. He regards his daughters as Lear

daughters will get about $4,000 each.
Early in his reign Gar Nicholas
caught bad head cold and asked .
humble subject how this annoying all
ment could be cured. The advice given
was that the imperial nose should be
-anointed at night with tallow from =
common candle. Years rolled on and
one day by mere accident the car had
the chance Of looking through book
Of household expenditures and was
amazed to find he had been charged for
a pound Of tallow candles every night
since.
New that the German crown prince
has been married, court gossips in Eu-
rope are considering who is likely to b
the bride Of Prince Eitel. the kaiser'a
second son. The general view is that
it will be Princess Eva of Battenberg,
with whom he was much smitten during
a recent visit to England. Princess Eva
is quite pretty girl, just past II years
old, who was brought up in the simplest
manner possible. 1t is expected that
she, will inherit largely from her GOD
mother, ex-Empress Eugene.
The duke Of Connaught-Prince Ar
thur Of Great Britain-who has just en-
tered upon his ffty-sixth year, was the
godsoE of the duke of Wellington and
was taught to have great reverence for
the old gentleman. One of the little
boys first efforts at drawing, 1t Is said,
was picture representing the duke and

youthful production, remember that,
though fought Bonaparte, could never
see him without the help Of telescope"
During King Alfonsos visit to London
several stories were told of how he at
times shocks the Spanish dons with wild
escapades. All these anecdotes, apocry-
phal or otherwise. helped his popularity
with the British public, showing as they
did that his 19-year-old majesty is a
real boy and not altogether royal milk
sop. He rides reckless races with young
officers, rings up the guard Unexpectedly
from mere motives CT mischief, and gen.
orally plays the same pranks as other
lads of his age. Among his own subjects
OF the rank and file these pranks do him
good. for even the Spaniard likes to
think that his sovereign can do some
thlng human and unceremonious.

we strive for we prize, and also that
steady application, with given OBJ
ject in view, in the long run, is better
than swift spurts, with lapses Of
idleness between them.
However, we are not all alike
Some of you have one method, some
another. Whatever else you leave un-
done, beg you never to let a day end
until you have finished fully the things
that belong to that day The long va
cations which we have ought to be put
to good use by school girls, partl? in
view of next years work, and partly
because it is absurd to drop study
wholly for one fourth or one sixth OF
the year.
The summer holiday is not in tie
least too long for the teacher, but
it is much too long an interval for
girls who wish to make the most OF
the flying years, to spend in ertire
idleness. Why not take two hours
every day and devote them to some
earnest study which will keep the
mind facile, and help you along an
other year? Why not get up exaroina-
tion papers of your own? If you like
and if you have no conditions, to oc-
cupy you before you pass to higher
grade, good plan may be to take
hold of some study that will keep you
much out of doors. The woods and
fields are full of flowers. The brool,
and river wave with flags and rushes.
Up the hill slopes climb the wild
roses, beside the fence blaze the tiger
lilies, over the stone wall riots the
vine, and every tree and bush and
shrub is a whole school of natural his
tory.
There are birds almost without num-
ber, there will be moths, beetles, but
terfiies, crickets and katydidS, squir-
rels will frisk among the boughs, and
chipmunks play hide and seek among
the leaves. Do not lose sight of the
| interesting things that are all about
you out of doors.
Whether you pass your exam:na-
tions in school with credit or not. 81;
down now at Mother Natures feet and
learn of her. Do not be discouraged
if you have been surpassed by some
body else. Do your best, and leav.

IDEAS FOR SHOPPERS.

Some of the quaintest of baby dresses
have copied from new lounging robes
the defining of the waist line by rows of
shirring, or rows of lace insertion The
effect in the tiny dresses is exquisite.
Soft gray suede is the foundation for a
beautiful girdle, which is studded with
cut steel beads and ends in a cut steel
buckle.
Leather belts for children come in
every shade to match. or to tone in with,
the little Russian blouse dresses they
are worn with.
Soft, filmy chiffon is gathered into
girdles high all the way round, but es-
pecially SO directly in front and back.

WINDOW GARDENING.
Even Humble Place May Be Beau
titled with Vines and Flow
ers by Little Effort.

Not all flower lovers can boast Of
owning gardenSeven the joys Of a
back yard are denied most of us-but
wherever there is a window there is
hope for the woman with few PEN
nies in her pocket and .oye OF grow
ings and blossoming things in her
heart. Curiously enough, it is on the
window-sills either of the very rich or
the very poor that we see the hand
shown in a contest held last year
for the prettiest window garden. The
first prize went to the inhabitants of
garnet who had curtained the entire
sloping roof. the caves and windows
of their humble dwelling with masses
of growing Towering vines. The Sec
ond prize was won by the owner Of
one of the most magnificent houses in
the town. who had spent more money
on his window gardens, but could not
rival the garret-dwellers in their floral
display.
Every window that boasts a sill is
fitted for a garden. Besides the win
dow box, hanging baskets of growing
flowers may be swung from the CELL
ing, and if brackets for pots are fas-
tened to the walls near the window
frame. the effect when completed will
be almost as satisfactory as real con-
servatory fitted up for the purpose, be-
side which anyone who really loves
flowers will get more pleasure out of
a single flower that is coaxed into
blossoming and unfurls it's leaves for
the person who is growing it than
from the most expensive kind of for
ist-grown plant
A window box should be lined with
zinc. to keep the wood from rotting.
The bottom layer should be perfor-
ated. to allow of drainage. The box
itself should be about eight inches
deep, and equally as wide. The soil
with which it is filled differs, of
course, according to the plants one
wishes to raise. Good fibrous loan
| mixed with clean silversand and leaf
| mould would suit most plants. If is
| is not too much trouble, the loan can
be obtained by digging up the soil of
some rich pasture, otherwise the flor

DEFINITIONS AND DERIVATION

The petrification agate was named for
the river Achates, in Sicily, where it was
first found.
A brochure is small book, stitched,
not bound, so named from the French
'brocher," to stitch.
Bylaw" owes the first part of itself
to the word bye" the old Danish word
for town, burg or burgh.
The word amateur" originally
French, from the Latin "amator," q
lover, means lover of any particular
The American word BOSS" for mas
ter, is the modern form of the Dutch
'baas,'' of the same meaning. 1t is de-
scended from the original Dutch settlers
of New York.
The word billion" in England and
the colonies means "a million millions.
in France and on the continent, as well
as in the United States, it means thou
sand millions.
The name "calomel" means beautiful
black" and was originally given to
black sulphuret of mercury. AS calomel
is white powder, the name is merely .
jocular misnomer now.
The word 'Boer," applied to the Dutch
Inhabitants of the country districts Of
the Cape Of Good Hope, is the German
for farmer and agriculturist The Eng
lish word "boor" had the same origin.
The word beverage" has had many
changes in orthography. 1t is found
spelled ''biberedge," beverage" and
"beveridge." 1t comes from the Italian
."bevere," to drink, but more remotely
from the Latin.

EVER TREAT YOU so?
Coffee Acts the Jonah and win
Come Up.

A clergyman who pursues his noble
calling in country parish in Iowa,
tells of his coffee experience:
"My wife and 1 used coffee regu-
larly for breakfast, frequently for din
ner, and occasionally for supper-al-
ways the very best quality-package
coffee never could find q place on our
table.
"In the spring of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
"It seemed to come from coffee drink
ing, but we could not decide.
"In the following July. however. she
was attacked second time by the
vomiting. was away from homo
filling an appointment at the time, and
on my return found her very low:
she had literally vomited herself al
most to death, and it took some days
to quiet the trouble and restore her
stomach.
81 had also experienced the same
trouble, but not SO violently, and had
relieved it, each time, by a resort 70
medicine.
"But my wife's second attack salts
fed me that the use Of coffee was ae
the bottom of our troubles, and so We
stopped it forthwith and took on
Postum Food Coffee. The old symp-
toms Of disease disappeared. and dur
ing the years that we have been
using Postum instead Of coffee We
have never had q recurrence OF tho
vomiting. We never weary OF Pos

good health. This is q simple state

SUGGESTIONS FOR HOUSEWIFE.

A good polish for floors is made by
shredding finely two ounces of bees
wax and one ounce of yellow soap into a
jar. Pour over enough turpentine to
cover and slowly dissolve on the stove,
stirring occasionally with a stock.
When cool the compound will be fit for
use.
When blankets are to be washed for
the first time they should be soaked
over night in cold water and then rinsed.
This is to remove the sulphur used in
the bleaching. After this they should
be soused until clear in a lukewarm
lather made with boiled soap and
water, and then rinsed we'll in clear
water.
Every kitchen should have at least
one simmerer-that is, a saucepan with
a double bottom, the lower one perfor-
ated to admit air. There is a space of
half an inch between this and the upper
bottom. Food cooked in a saucepan
Of this kind cannot burn and it may
be kept at gentle heat for hours.
To clean white marble take one ounce
of powdered pumice stone, two ounces
OF washing soda and one ounce of pow-
dered chalk. Pound these together and
pass through sieve. Take little of
the powder and make into paste with
cold water, rub it over the marble and
when stains are gone wash we'll with
soap and water.
1t is literally true that a new broom
sweeps clean. If new broom is ex-
amined the ends of the straws will be
found to be straight and the brush
square. After it has been used awhile.
the ends split and become sharp and the
shape OF the brush becomes irregular,
To renew the youth of the broom dip it in
hot soapsuds and trim the softened
straws to the proper shape
Black. gray or variegated marble may
be cleaned by rubbing with paste COM
posed of one gill of ox-gall, one gill of
soapsuds and half gill of turpentine,
mixed and thickened with powdered pipe
clay. Apply this paste with brush,
let it remain for two days. then wipe off.
and If you do not find the marble bright
and clean repeat second or even third
time, and it will certainly succeed by
repetition.-Chicago Daily News.

UNCLE SANS COMMERCE
GREATER THAN EVER

WASHINGTON-The commerce of
the United States with its non-contig-
uous territory in 1905 seems likely to
exceed by many million dollars that
of any preceding year. The nine
month statement ending with Septem-
Der, issued by the depart of commerce
and labor Thoughts bureau of Stats
tics, shows that the shipments from
the United States to it's non-contigu-
Gus territory amounted to $50, 552, IVA,
against $29929,079 in the correspond
ing months of the preceding year, an
increase Of six and one-half million
dollars. and that the shipments of mer-
chandise to the United States from its
non-contiguous territory in the same
period amounted to $66,550, $50,
against s47141 ,63S in the correspond
ing months of the preceding year,
