Rich Women Have Troubles.

The idea that fashionable women
are too busy and had too many inter
ests to feel acute sorrow over their
broken crockery was disproved the
other day when Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish
went into the principal dry goods
store in Newport with friend who
stopped to watch a man who was
selling cement for cut glass and called
to Mrs. Fish: "Oh, here is cement
for cut 81, is which not only mends
it but makes it ring as clearly as If
it were new" Mrs. Fish called back:
my servants break so much of my
glass now that it is heartbreaking and
if they knew it were possible to
mend it they would break it all, so l
don't care for any, thank you"

REGARDS STORM AS PAST.
Russian Government Will Now Try
"Strong Handed Reform"
the National Problems Independ-
ent of Parliament.

st. Petersburg, Aug. S.-From a
member of the cabinet the Associated
Press learns that the government re-
CARDS the storm raised by the disso-
luton of parliament as past and that
it intends Immediately to proceed to
carry out the policy of "strong-hand-
ed REFORM" to which Premier Stoly-
pin committed himself The cardi-
nal plank of the programme is an at
tempt to appease the disconnected
peasantry as far as possible. The
governments agrarian programme,
which will not differ greatly from the
Stichinsky project, will not only be
promulgated, but probably will be
placed in effect as a temporary law,
the emperor having the right to
issue temporary laws during re-
cess of parliament In other words
it is the intention of the government
to attempt to solve it's most difficult
problem irrespective of parliament,
in the belief that it will meet with
enough support TO make it impossi-
BILE for the next parliament to refuse
it's assent.
Appointments to the three vacan-
cies in the cabinet, agriculture, COM
merce and the holy synod, probably
will be announced Wednesday. M.
Samarin, member of the council of
the empire, who was offered the
last named post, has finally refused
it, thus ending the hope of securing
the desired cooperation of the lower
house and upper house elements,

rioers Tap Rubber Trees.

Near Perak in the Malay peninsula
is a prosperous rubber factory run by
a long-headed Scotchman. In order to
obtain the sap from which the rubber
is made it is necessary to puncture
the bark of the trees. Laborers are
scarce in that district, but there are
an abundance of tigers. There were
not enough men to tap the trees, but
the Scotch proprietor hit on a bril-
liant idea. He knew that tigers are
fond of valerian, so he gave orders
that all the trees should be rubbed
with this stuff The tigers came up
and caressingly scratched the bark in
the most approved herringbone fash
lion, after which all that the coolies
had to do was to walk around once
day and collect the rubber.

Nicotine in Tobacco.

A scientist writes: 1.-THE essential
quality for which tobacco is smoked
or chewed lies not really in the leaves
themselves, but is contained in thou
sands of hollow-knobbed hairs which
cover their surface The vital nicotine
is garnered in these pearlike balls, but
as it is impossible to shave off these
hairs, and would be scarcely COM
mendable achievement If it could be
undertaken, it becomes necessary to
preserve the whole foliage for COM
mercial purposes"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

A WINNING START.
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day..

Everything goes wrong If the break
fast lies in your stomach like a mud
pie. What you eat does harm if you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this TO
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
1.-TWO years ago contracted a very
annoying form of Indigestion. My
stomach was in such condition that
a simple breakfast of fruit, toast and
egg gave me great distress. .
Il was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such simple diet
but finally had to give it up, and
found a great change upon a cup OF
hot Postum and Grape-Nuts with
cream, for my. morning meal. For
more than year I have held to this
course and have not suffered except
when injudiciously varying my diet.
Il have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digested
breakfast means a saving Of nervous
force for the entire day. My gain OF
ten pounds in weight also causes me
to want to testify to the value Of
Grape-Nuts.

London.-The telephone, now in

employing it for advertisement and
canvassing purposes be pursued. The
following is an illustration:

PREDICT END OF WORLD.
wars and Earthquakes Said by Sec
ond Adventists to Clearly In
dictate It's Coming.

London.-Terrible predictions con,
corning what will happen to the poor
ola earth during the next % years
were made the other day at Exeter
nall. The prophets of disaster, a large
number of whom were clergymen
were in attendance at 1.-The prophetic
and second advent conference"
While they differed somewhat in
details all agreed that the end of the
world was at hand. They were not
quite sure whether the final catastro
phe will come on May 2, 1929, or
April 9, 1881, but they were quite
sure that one of these dates will prove
to be the right one.
There can be no doubt that the
world has nearly outlived its useful
ness, the prophets declared. The wars
and earthquakes which have afflicted
ltorecently are proof positive, and all
that is required to fulfill these prophe
cles is the coming of antichrist, who
is somewhat unkindly identified with
Napoleon.
He will make his first political APP
pearance as the king Of Syria, but in
1922 he will attack and conquer
France. Then he will extend his rule
over the other kingdoms.
There will be 100000 Christians
in the world at this time, the prophets
declare, but evidently they will not all
be equally deserving of favor, for in
1924 or 1926 144,OOO of them will be
translated to Heaven, while the other
9,S56,000 will be transported to the
desert near Mount Sinai, where they
will have to wait three and a half
years.
Members of the British parliament
of that time are evidently to be LOT
of terrible sinners, for only very few
will be found worthy Of immediate
translation. Rev. M. Baxter declared
that the majority of members of par
lament would be left behind.
