How Emperor William Is Battling
Against a Dangerous Heredity.

Emperor Williams father died of cancer
of the throat.
Emperor William himself had infantile
paralysis, and has had to struggle with
many iniirmities.
1t has been whispered that he himself
is troubled with the same malady which
carried OFT his father. Royal blood is un-
fortunately most generally deteriorated
blood. Emperor William knows this as
well as anybody, and is doing his best to
eradicate the bad blood from himself and
his family by the adoption of simple life
principles.
Through the visit Of a countryinan of
his to Battle Creek, Michigan. while in
this country, visiting the Worlds Fair in
Chicago in 1893, Emperor William became
acquainted with the Battle Creek idea of
simple living and has to a large extent
adopted the methods in his family. His
wife and children live the simple life and
take Battle Creek light baths. Their
uncle, King Edward, also has these baths
installed in his Windsor and Buckingham
Palaces for the use of himself and Queen
Alexandra.
Among other things GOOD HEALTH,
the oldest health journal in the world,
tells about the Battle Greek idea and the
simple life. Every number is brimful of
up'to-date ideas. Sample copy 10 cents.

eoYIsH MIND WAS WORKING.
Younester on His First Sail Over the
Raging Main"

None of us ever quite forget those
days-when our years were few-of
dreaming about life or the raging
main, when the imagination reveled
in pirates and plumber from state
ly ~galleons and valorous deeds done
on storm-swept decks, says a writer
in the New York Times. Recollection
of this period is. a. any rate, sufh-
GENTLY vivid, so that the remark OF
q small boy could contribute mae
rally to the 'gayety of nations
among the passengers on n of the
excursion steamers running from
Manhattan across the harbor TO
Coney Island.
The steamer made her way across
the bay, lodging tugs and ferryboats
fortunately meeting no pirate craft.
The passengers, escaping gladly from
the city's heat, nibbled their sand
witches and enjoyed the breeze. The
walters moved about the deck with
their trays. The boy. just from the
inland town, where his life so far
had been spent, sat rapt and wide
eyed. If one could but know fully
the mental content from which
sprang his words at lastl
MAJ" he cried, h%oarsely, tell me

SAW WHAT ~ LOOKED LIKE
Politicians Bright Idea in Having
Butcher Put Twenty Pounds
of Pork on Scales.

There resides in st. Louis a politi-
clan as well known in that vicinity for
his wit as for his corpulency, says
Harper's Weekly. Now for some time
the St. Louis man has been much dis
turbed by his increasing a%voirdupois,
trying many remedies without success.
At the instance of a friend he recently
took the baths at a ESQ., recommend
ed for the purpose. At the end of two
or three weeks he returned in a happy
and %jocular frame of mind, for he had
managed to get rid of quite a good
deal of his superfiuous flesh.
The day after his return he was on
his way downtown, when he stopped
at the butcher shop that supplied his
household. Dashing inside, he de-
manded thai the butcher cut for him
20 pounds of pork.
The butcher at once complied. The
politician looked at the 20 pounds OF
pork tor a moment or two, then be-
gan to walk away without further ado.
Send 1t to the house?" asked the
butcher, thinking that his customer
had overlooked the usual instruction.
Not at all. not at ALL" smilingly ex-
claimed the politician. I'VE never eat
pork, in fact, have no use for il. The
fact is, I've fallen off 20 pounds and
