FIGHTING SMOKE.

Our local society engaged in efforts to abate the smoke nuisance has before it a large problem, which has been much studied in Europe and particu- larly in England. At d conference on smoke abatement held recently in Lon don valuable papers were read con taining suggestions of various kinds. The Electrical Review finds Leeds taking a leading part in fighting the smoke evil. The city has a law whica limits the duration of black smoke from a factory chimney to five min utes in She hour, and a local society undertakes to watch and report of lenders. Berlin reduces it's soot output by using artificial fuels. In Hamburg. local society sends experts to facto- ries where fuel is wasted in smoke to teach the firemen how to burn coal and has had good results.
 Of the 4,000 tons of coal burned daily in Leeds, as many as twenty tons go out of the chimney in the form of soot, one-fourth of which quantity sticks to persons, houses, etc, in the municipal area. Leeds, accordingly, is painted black daily with five tons of lampblack. London, it is thought, takes on daily several trainloads of pigment. More efficient burning of
 
 to be considered. Another is that the coal be converted into gas at mines or elsewhere outside the city and be con- veyed to consumers. To this the Re view objects on the ground that the transmission of gas through pipes over long distances is not efficient commer- cially and it's combustion produces ob- jectionable fumes. Naturally the Elec- trical Review thinks electricity sup plies the best solution of the smoke problem.
 Electrical generating stations erect ed at the coal mines could produce electricity for transmission to cities and the electricity could be converted into light, heat, or power without bur- dening the air with objectionable resi- dues, solid or gaseous. This is the. ideal plan. Unfortunately" the Re. view confesses, i've are not vet far enough advanced to carry out this plan. For various reasons electrical transmission from mine to city can to- day compete with the generation of power in the city in but few instances. and therefore the latter system will persist until it is forbidden by law or until such advances in the electrical are put it ahead of the former. This is particularly true as regards heating, for under the best conditions we are today not able to develop in our elec- tric heaters more than 10 per cent of the heat of the fuel When it becomes possible to deliver, say. 30 per cent of our fuel energy the smoke problem will be solved" At present we are far from

A USEFUL HUSBAND.

Husbands are often hard to under stand and sometimes quite disappolnt-. ing. Still they are thought to be a necessary adjunct to the home and as shown in the following instance, are even useful on occasions.
 After the civil war the furniture at certain notable country seat in Vir- ginia, which had grown shabbier for want of renewal and repair, had reached a climax in the matter of di . liquidation. At about that time a dis tinguished stranger, staying for a short visit in the neighborhood, came one morning to the house on a cere monious call. Harper's Magazine tells the story of what followed:
 The mistress of the establishment. thrown into a fiutter of excitement by the magnitude of the occurrence, was still further confused by the fact that her husband, usually such an efficient host, sat aloof in a remote corner of the room.

NERVOUS BABIES The Exact Cause.

Many child, while nursing, has aco,,ired an appetite for strong drlnh because the mother used beverages contaiaing alcohol A letter from an F,Igin. III. mother, illustrates the ne cessity of great care as to the moth CTS food and drink while she is nurs- ing her child:
 What I have to say shoCld DC 'L interest to mothers who are so fortu- nate as to be able to nurse their pa bies" she writes. Until my first baby came I did not realize that col fee was the cause of the severe at- tacIxs of nervousness to which I was subject at times. I found that when one of these attacks came upon me- baby was affected in the same way, at about the same time, and reflection led me to conclude that it was the coffee I drank that was having us both i'll.
 Having read an article about Pos tum Food Coffee, I decided to give 1t trial and when I had learned to prepare it properly by boiling it at least 20 minutes, I found that with cream, it was a delicious drink. Ana it proved most beneficial to the health of both of us
 "However. when I gave up the old coffee. thought lHeIe NOuiu DG iAS harm in having one cup of the old kind on Sunday mornings for old times sake Two Sundays showed me the folly of this. I was amazed at the influence the coffee had on my own and baby's nerves. It made me restless and unstrung till it's effects had time to wear off, and about the time I began to feel easier it began to affect baby through the milk, so that it spoiled our entire day. When found this to be the case I gave up the Sunday morning coffee indul- gence.
 And that ended the nervous at lacks for both of us This was five years ago, and I have used Postum regularly ever since. and enjoy it as much as I ever did the other kind of coffee.
 q believe that the fretful condition of many babies is caused by the cof- fee drinking habit of the mother.
 Ut is hard to deny children the drink they see their parents enjoying at table, and it is a great comfort to be able to let them have all the Pos tum they want. Served with cream it has proved an ideal beverage for my three little ones.
 q found also that Postum is a great producer of healthy milk, and am sure that many a worried mother would be benefited by its use. I cannot com mend it too highly" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

The young American prima donna, Alice Nielsen, and her company will give a performance of Donizetti's de- Iightful comic opera, Don Pasquale," at the Doris theater this evening.
 Miss Nielsen has returned to her own country after an absence of four years, surrounded by a company Of speciall- selected artists engaged for her by Di
 rector Henry Russell in Italy. During her four years abroad Miss Nielsen, graduating from The Fortune Teller and 'The Singing Girl" of Victor Her bert, has had a great success at the principal opera houses of Italy and the Covent Garden in London in the light Italian operas. The sprighuiness of her temperament, her beauty of person and sparkling, facile voice, developed by her teacher, MT. Russell fit her for the roles of Donizetti and ROssini as few 1talian-born prima donnas have been fitted. In Don Pasquale" she is the same Alice Nielsen, beloved of Ameri- can audiences four years ago, but ele- Vated to a higher power, both as an actress and singer. Pratt, the tenor now accompanying her, has been the suc- cessor of Caruso in many Italian opera houses. Rosa. the basso. buffo, and Fratodi, the baritone. also were se- lected from the best singers available. Everything possible, We are told, has been done to make Miss Nielsen's re- turn to America q brilliant success.
 The music of the opera, Don Pas quale" is like champagne and the book is of the best Italian comedy, as only Italian Iibretti can be. The scene is in Rome. Don Pasquale is in a rage with Ernesto, his nephew, because he will not marry to suit him. Dr. Malatesta. his friend and physician, contrives a plot in ErnestOs interest. He visits the Don and urges him to marry lady, pretending that she is his sister,

though in reality she is Norma, with whom Ernesto is in love. He then calls upon Norma and lets her into the sec ret. She is to consent to the marriage contract and then so to narrass the Don that he will not only be glad 10 get rid of her but will also consent to her marriage with Ernesto.
 The second act is in Don Pasquale's house Ernesto is bewaiIing his fate. The Don enters, ready for the mar riage. Norma appears with Malatesta and is reluctant to sign the contract, but when the notary comes she con sents.
 No sooner, however, than she has signed it than she drops her assumed modesty. Ernesto is bewildered at the development of affairs, but is kept sil- ent by a sign from the doctor. Norma repulses all the Don's amatory demon- strations and declares Ernesto shall be her escort. She lays out a scheme of housekeeping so eXtTavagant that the Don declares he cannot and will not pay the bills. Her negotiations with milliners and dressmakers appall him.
 Tn the third act Norma has prepared for the theater and Don Pasquale for bids her going. This leads to a quarrel and Norma boxes his ears and goes out, dropping letter, the reading of which adds bangs of jealousy to the Don's other troubles. The doctor drops in at this juncture and condoles with the Don, but he insists that Norma shall leave his house at once. The doctor counsels him to let his nephew marry Norma. The Don then discovers that the doctors sister and Norma are the same and that the marriage was a sham and he is so glad to be free from her that he will not quarrel with his friend and blesses the union of Ernesto and his sweetheart.

HANDY FEAT.

Mir. Nolans description of an aero battle performance was clear enough to any listener, although his excitement over it led his tongue, as usual, into unfrequent mazes of speech.

H. GooDMAN's TEST.
Sold Hyomei for Years and Knows. It
 Will Cure Catarrh

H. Goodman has given Hyomei most thorough and remarkable test For a long time he has offered to re- fund the money to any purchaser of Hyomei. if it failed to benefit
 The remedy has made so many cures among his customers that he has urged it's use in the most chronic cases of catarrh.
 Breathed for few minutes four times a day, through the inhaler that comes with every outfit, it soothes the irritated mucous membrane of the nose, throat and lungs kills the ca tarrhal germs, and restores complete health. Its healing antiseptic frag- rance penetrates to the most remote air passages, as no medicine taken in to the stomach can possibly do. Im- mediate relief almost always follows the use of HyOmei and great benefit is seen after a few days treatment
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs only S1 and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the pocket or purse, and will last 2 lifetime, medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. If this is not sufficient for a complete cure. additional bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents.
 Compare this small expense with the fees charged by specialists, and re member, too, if Hyomei does not cure H. Goodman will return your money.

ORIGINAL RESTRICTIONS.

Judge Harrison, one of the Connec- ticut delegates to the recent immigra- tion conference told the following story:
 We have in Connecticut" said he many descendants of the first immi- grants to America, and probably some of every kind that have come since. But we have also one small group whose ancestors never saw Europe.
 Tn the easterly part of the state there is a little remnant of the orig inal Connecticut tribes, whom the peo- pie call the last of the Mohicans.' They have their own church and a pastor of the old Indian stock. Before came to this conference I talked with all sorts of people to find out the senti- ment on this immigration question: Among others I spoke to this native clergyman.
 We'll said he I'm in sympathy with your attempt to restrict immis;ra- ton; but I hope you'll have better luck than my ancestors had 25O. years ago. ." Cleveland Plaindealer.

A man in your place must take care of these little matters, you know" King Haakon, surprised, re- piled with as good grace as possible that he would be careful to follow the advice.
