EPISCOPAL HIGHS
SUCCESSFUL MEET

The Episcopal High School of Virginia.
situated near Alexandria, is today enter
tanning big gathering of athletic repre-
sentatives of the leading high schools and
academies of the District of Columbia,
Maryland and Virginia who are entered as
contestants in the second annual inter-
scholastic field and track meet given by the
Virginia school. Delegations from the vari-
Gus schools taking part and spectators
from Washington, Alexandria and other
places have been arriving at the Institution
since early this morning, and at the time
of the opening Of the regular program this
afternoon one of the largest crowds ever
seen on the High School grounds was pres
ent. The preparatory schools of Washing
ton are well represented and will doubtless
come in for a fair share OF the honors when
the winners announced
The "old Toys" Of the Episcopal High
School are very much in evidence at the
meet. Last year they organized an associa-
ton, and today they arrived in such num-
bers that they soon had a regular reunion
Every preparation having been made to
accommodate the large crowd and to in
sure an easy handling OF the various events
the meet opened with the brightest pros
pect of success. The auspic.ous circum-
stances are very materially added to by the
beautiful weather 1t Is as good as assured
that when the affair is over late this after
noon second notable success will have
been achieved in the line of interscholastic
field and track contests by the Episcopal
High School

that there Is constant accord between the
companies and this is so firm that they
have established~a common war fund, so
called, for use in case of too strenuous
foreign competition.
But the greatest step of all is the Ger
man practice which makes service In the
merchant marine so honorable that naval
officers do not feel degraded on transfer

assured of careers and regular promotions.
and their rank in the naval reserve is
raised correspondingly as they advance in

He has not a single free moment II the

The pleasant days when Cardinal Sarto,
as patriarch of Venice, lived as modestly
and simply as a village cure are past
and gone. The loving care of his two Sis
tiers, and the cheerful and unrestrained In
tercourse with his many friends, his harm
less evening game at cards his favorite
ire settle are now only souvenirs. But an
other curious change that has como over
him is the elegance and luxury with which
he surrounds himself. The private apart
ments OF Leo XIII. as everybody knows,
were arranged with Spartan simplicity:
This the present pope has changed. Gilded
furniture, silk and velvet upholstery, Gobe-
lin tapestry, pianos and Harmonious are
everywhere in evidence.
During the dinner hour Plus y likes to
have Maestro PeroSi or some other Virtu-
oso play to him, and after the postpran-
dial coffee he sometimes sits down him
self to the piano. After the severe SIM
plicity of his life in Venice this sudden af-
lection for royal luxury has caused some
surprise.
Whether the king and queen will accept
the invitation to visit Canada, no one can
say; but. apart from any other consdera-
lions, there is one of special Importance
that would have to be taken specially into
account The king and his consort could
hardly go to Canada without visiting the
United States. There is no doubt that If
they decided to visit the American CONT
nent they would be invited by the Presi
dent to go to Washington, and to refuse
would be ungracious as to be impos
sible. The dealing therefore with the invi-
tation from Canada, the king and his ad-
visers would have to take this into account.
Their majesties would. of course, be warm
ly received in the United States, and, in
deed, the spectacle of the great-grandson of
George III making a friendly call on the
President and people OF the United States
would be so striking in a historical aspect
that one would wish to see it realized

When Is an Old Maid?

When does a girl become an old
maid? This question, blunt and shorn
of delicate innuendo, is now figuring
in the somnolent discussion of Phila-
delphia society. One might say that
a girl becomes an old maid when she
fails to marry betimes, but that is not
the point. What is the exact year
that ushers in spinsterhood and closes
forever the gates of youth? Of course,
this is not a matter in which man
has any word to say. No rational
wearer of trousers would tempt fate
and the scorn of femininity by at
tempting a suggestion, for any arbi-
trary dead line would necessarily
bring down upon the luckless mascu-
line head a storm Of Reproduction. 1t
has been left to the women them
selves to brave the peril. And they
have placed the age at 40 years.
Under this ruling a woman is a ten
der bud until twoscore years have
counted their gloomy litany of days
and the hair near the scalp begins to
Whiten.

SCIENCE OF MILKING CLEAN.
What Prof. j. L. Hills, of Vermont Elk
pertinent Station, Has to Say.

1t is well known that the average
mixer gets less milk than he who
does a thorough job, that incomplete
milking means not only direct but in
direct loss, not only an immediate
lessening of the fat yield, but tends
toward drying the cow. A Danish
scientist has recently developed a spe-
cial system of udder manipulation, a
sort Of massage of the mammary
gland, as it were, which it is claimed
augments the flow. The Hegelund
method, as it is called, involves three
manipulations, each thrice repeated or
until no more milk is obtained. First,
the pressure of the quarter on each
side against each other thrice repeat
ed, followed by removal, of the milk;
second, the pressure Of the glands TO-
gether on each side, the fore quarter
being first manipulated and then the
hindquarters, followed by removal Of
the milk; and third, the fore quarters
are pressed between hand and body,
the hands holding the teats loosely,
then the hind quarters also, followed
by milking.
Trials of the scheme made at the
Wisconsin and New York stations af-
forded a daily average increase per
cow of a pound of milk and two
ounces of butter. The after milk was
very rich in fat, testing above ten
per cent. This after milking takes
not to exceed five minutes time,
often only two or three minutes. The
two ounces of butter may be held at
a low estimate to be worth two cents.
This would be a fair pay for five min
utes' work, "a cents an hour, and the
skim milk thrown in. Not only is
more milk and butter made, but the
secretion is stimulated and the lac
tation period prolonged. 1t may be
remarked, however, that the differ
ence in milk and butter yields be-
tween this method and careful strip
ping are not great. This Danish
method emphasizes more perhaps
than has hitherto been done, the act
ual and potential losses due to incom.
plete milking.

Mrs. III. Wriaht

Mrs. Pinkham claims that there Is a
kind of dyspepsia that is caused by a
arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes a disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without q medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has q peculiar tonic effect on the fe.
male organism.
As proof Of this theory we call at,
tention to the Ease of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was
completely cured by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
"For two years I suffered with dyspepsia
which SO degenerated the entire system that I
was unable to attend to my daily duties. I
felt weak and nervous, and nothing that I ate
tasted good and it caused q disturbance in my
stomach 7 tried different dyspepsia cures,
but nothing seemed to help me. I was adj
vised to give Lydia +. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound a trial, and was happily surprised
to find that it acted like q fine tonic, and in q
fewdays I began to enjoy and properlydigest
my food. My recovery was rapid, and in
five weeks / was a well woman. l have rec
commended il to many suffering women"
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fed endorsement or has such a record
ofcures Of female troubles, as has Lydia
r. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

First Flower of Spring.

In the northern United States the
snowdrop is the only garden flower
that we can count IN year after year
as the earliest sign of spring. Its
%pendulous white blossoms, with
"heart-shaped seal of green" sung by
Rossetti often appear before the last
SNOW has gone.
Luckily, even city families need not
be without snowdrops, for they have
been known to thrive in narrow pas
sageways between all houses. Most
Dubious plants like the baking hot sun
of midsummer in order to ripen their
bulbs, but the snowdrop thrives best
in partial shade.
1t blooms earlier if 1t has a chance
at the March sun, but is one of the
very few that will flower regularly,
though less freely, in dense shade and
with a northern exposure.-Country

FISH IN NEW PLACES.
Wild Ducks Found to Bear Fish Eggs
Ready to Hatch.

A correspondent from Safi wrote in
our June issue expressing his mysti-
i~ication as to how small fish come to
be in inclosed waters. A naturalist
suggests an explanation. He says:
"If the wild ducks, ETC., of Morocco
are similar to those elsewhere there is
no mystery. For some years there
was open-mouthed wonder as to how
perch, Dream and crayfish could get
into newly cut dams near the Mac
quarie river in New South Wales.
"In some cases the water had hardly
settled after the rain had filled the
dam than the fish were observed, and
the farmers started a large theory of
spontaneous production.
"This obtained till a Sydney profess
sor CHANGED to pick up a wild duck
and found it's breast feathers and
webbed feet we'll dotted with fertile
and almost Matched fish-ova, on which
the spontaneous production theory
was promptly withdrawn" Cham

Case Of Rank Injustice.

Not In years has rank injustice been
dealt to q man as 1t has been to J.. T.
Harahan, vice-president of the ILL.
nois Central railroad, since the SEN
sational meeting of the stockholders
Of the company a few weeks ago. The
ethical mistreatment accorded Mr..
Harahan has been through press re
ports emanating from unreliable
sources. During the past ten days all
sorts of rumors regarding the future
presidency Of the Illinois Central have
been circulated, the chief allegation
being the selection Of Capt. Grammar
of the New York Central lines to sue
coed Stuyvesant Fish. This story was
out of whole cloth and was written by
a travelling newspaper space writer.
1t was offered to, a number of papers
and refused, and finally accepted by
one from which 1t was telegraphed
throughout the country. The only ex-
PLANTATION is that the man who wrote
needed the money, for Capt. Grammar
was never offered the presidency of
the Illinois Central. If Mr.. Fish were
to decline another term as president
1t Is quite certain that J. T. Harahan
would be elected to succeed him.
1t has been Mr.. Harahan more than
any half dozen others who has popu-
1arized the Illinois Central. He has
worked while others slept; has trav-
eled over the big system continuously,
and knows its patrons, passengers and
shippers, the newspapers and legisla-
tors. He never co%untenances a crooked
deal; has been on the level with
everybody, and back of everything is
the fact that he is one of the best
operating and traffic managers in the
country. The silly space stories. have
worked harm to all concerned-Fish,
Grammar, Harahan and Stubbs-and
furnished no news, and there will be
no real news until the directors meet

RUNNING SORES ON LIMBS.
Little Girls Obstinate Gaze of Eczema
Mother Says: "Cuticura Rene
dies a Household Standby"

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by a very prominent
physician, for an obstinate case of
eczema, l resorted to the Cuticura
Remedies, and was so we'll pleased
with the almost instantaneous relief
afforded that we discarded the physi-
clans prescription and relied entirely
on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura ONT
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble. We find that the Cuti-
cura Remedies are a valuable house
hold standby, living as we do, twelve
miles from a doctor, and where it

MONKEY PLAYED MANY PARTS.

everyone, and travelled free until
Genoa was reached, when it's troubles
began.
Brought under the notice Of the &C.
noese customhouse authorities, it was
promptly deprived of its identity. 1t
was no longer IN animal; it became
a bird, and as a bird, on which %
cents was charged, it was conveyed to
the Swiss frontier, where, at a stroke
of the customhouse officers wand 1t

creased assessment Of $1.56, and
borne by train to Zurich.

cat, to exist, and became a mere pack

sum of 16 cents.
Still as luggage, though metamor-
phized from a package into a handbag,
1t went on it's way to Stuttgart, where
a great honor awaited it. 1t was, on
payment of $2.04, exalted into a dog,
and it was as a dog that it ended its
journey at the university town Of
