QUEEN ENA's JEWISH BLOOD.
Her Great-Grandfather Said to Have
Been Of Humble Position.

From LIE Monde Moderne.
The blood Of prince and of peasant. so II
Is said, mingles every hundred years A
striking instance Is the case of Princess
Ena. now the wife OF Alfonso OF SPAIN
Here is the story: First cousin to the
Emperor of Russia, to the German en-
peror and tc the heir of the throne of
Great Britain Princess Ena of Battenberg
As almost nearly related to a far humber
family circle.
Toward the beginning of last century a
Polish Jew, Hauke by name entered the
service of the, Grand Duke of Hesse-Darm-
stadt, and occupied very subordinate posi-
ton at the little court. His daughter Julia
Theresa, born In 1925. was. at the age of
%. married morganaticaily by Prince Alex
ander of Hesse. two years her junior
Renouncng the faith of her fathers, she
was baptized into the Protestant church,
and by the reigning grand duke was ac-
corded the title first of Countess of Batten-
berg and subsequently of princess.
Prince Henry, the third child of this
union, became the husband Of Princess
Beatrice and, of course, father of Princess
Ena King Alfonsos bride. So little was he
considered as belonging to the inner circle
of European royalty that when Queen Vic
toria conferred upon him the rank of royal
highness protests arose on all sides.
Formal notifications were made by the
courts of Berlin Vienna and st. Petersburg
to the effect that Queen Vfctoria's son-in-
law issue of nlorganatc union, could not
be recognized az royal highness elsewhere
than on British territory. Twenty years
later the daughter OF this man on whom
this afYront Is put becomes Queen Of Spain
and treats on a footing of perfect equality
all the reigning monarchs of Europe.

article Df American manufacture. and the
importation OF napkins from Japan practi-
A representative OF the pioneer American
makers said today that there were still but
few manufacturers In this country, and
that besides his own company. there were
only two Of any consequence one being IN
New York ana thu other in Holyoke. Mass.
The mills OF his company are in Massa-
chusetts. He said that the extent Of the
manufacture has been steadily increasing.
and that, by pretty close estimate. about
400OO0,O00 paper napkins were sold in the
United States last year. This year the prod
uct viii be still larger. In Europe. he
added, the paper napkins are practically

fountains and restaurants They are not
seen IN Great Britain or France, where the
fabrics for table. linen are much cheaper
than here.
1t was not the cheapness OF the napkins.
however. he declared, so much as their doc
oratfve feature. with pretty designs printed
In colofs, which has commended them to
popular favor here. The special con-
sumption of the finer grades is in homes or
the better class. for table use at luncheons,
card parties, children's parties. and various
other entertainments. Their convenience Tor
picnics Is obvious. Then. too. great quanti-
ties of the lower grades are used in cheap
restaurants. barrooms, ice cream pEiors,
and the many places in which soda water
Is dispensed.
While the cheaper kinds are made of It's
sue paper, the high-grade napkins are OF
crepe paper. which is tough IN fiber, soft
and pliable, as we'll as pleasing TO the eye.
Leaves and flowers in colors are favorite
border decorations for the white ground.

roses, and rosebuds. orchids, poinsettia.

A holly decoration is designed for Christ
mas. one with hearts much in evidence for
st. Valentines day. and a shamrock bor-
der for st. Patrick's day, while a design of
cherries is suitable for Washngton's
birthday. For seaside parties there is a
design of shells and seaweed. and for out
ing parties one which includes fishing rods.

WOyK AND EFFICIENCY.
A Simple Remedy for Every Man
How Life May Be Made Healthy.
From Worlds Work.

From Worlds Work.
1t Is the kind Of work In which man
is engaged which determines for him the
special meaning of the term efficiency"
The success Of his efforts may depend upon
the quantity of his output or it may depend
upon Its quality, Quality Quantity! Upon
these two hang all the laws of efficiency.
For each of US 1t Is possible to increase
the duration of his best moments and to
render them more frequent. 1t is also pos
sible for us TO reduce the number and the
length OF those periods OF depression and
low vitality when our work miscarries and
our lives lack snap and enthusiasm If we
succeed IN bringing about such a change
we shall have raised the whole plane of our
living to something higher and more ad-
mirable. Our work will be productive of re-
suits that would otherwise have been quite
beyond our reach
There are conditions for each individual
under which he can do the most and the
best work 1t is his business TO ascertain
those conditions and to comply with them.
1t Is useless for the nervous. high-strung
quickly fatigued man to try to live by the
same program as his phlegmatic even
tempered neighbor. The conditions under
which the two men produce the best re-
suits are not Identical. The man who can't
work at his best until after long period
or warming up ought TO stick to his job
when once he has got 1t, as long as he can
keep up to ths high grade level. That is
the Only real economy for him On the
other haid. the man who aecomplishes most
when he works by spurts and takes inter
walls Of play between times ought not to
feel that he ts doing wrong when he gives
UP initiating the steady workman. System
and continuous, driving decrease. not in
crease his efficiency. Both men can do
high-grade work, but not under the same
conditions. -
Every man ought to discover the special
conditions OF his own best work and to try
to make such conditions for himsef-in so
far as he can. Otherwise there is waste
somewhere Nothing Is gained and much IS
lost through trying to run everybody
through the same mold

MILLIONS OF PAPER NAPKINS.
Their Steady Growth in Popular Favo.
Demand and Manufactures

From the New York Evening Post.
The use this week at many Fourth Of
July luncheons of paper napkins gayiy
stamped with American flags or other pat
riotic emblems serves to direct attention
to the many pretty designs in which these
articles are now made. and to their stead
lily increasing use for table decoration.
From Japansthe native home of the paper
napkin. where a very soft, pliable paper
supplies an excellent fabric for 1t, It was
introduced to this country. mainly In this
city, good many years ago by the houses
importing Japanese goods. At first such
napkins had very limited sale. but the
demand for them gradually increased for
use In picnics, excursions and other outdoor
festivities. A large American house In John
street. which deals in fancy paper articles.
began to receive orders for the napkins,
and had to procure them from the Japanese
firms Then. as the demand rapidly be-
came larger. 1t started to manufacture pa
per napkins itself. beginning with what Is
now considered cheap grade, and was
highly successful la efforts TO extend their
sale. The oriental novelty Is now q STAPLE

BATS SIXTH SENSE.
One of the Peculiar Effects of Living
So Much in Darkness.

From The ST. Louis Gobe-Democrat.
''If you blind bat, said a biologist,
''the creature, somehow. will still see If
you doubt this, consult Levy.
Levy, the great authority. once removed
the eyes OF several bats and covered the
vacant sockets with leather patches. In
this condition the bats flew about the room.
avoiding the walls and corners, and when
door was opened they flew out of 1t without
touching the jamb or the frame.
Aftefward, In flying through sewer. that
made a right angie. the bats turned at the
proper point without brushing the walls.
and they flew through threads suspended
from the ceiling without touching them,
though between the threads there was only
an interval sufficient for their passage with
spread pinions. -
Bats living in the dark have found their
eyes almost useless. and have developed a
sixth sense that takes the place of eye
sight"

Beautiful Japanese Woods.
Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Japanese woods are as beautiful as Jap
anese lacquers. The oak trees of northern
Japan grow to a large size. but on account
of the nature of the ground 1t is difficult to
get out large pieces. The usual sizes are
from twelve to f1fty-five inches square and
from eight to thirty feet long. and the tim
Der ia of excellent quality.
The next wood in Importance is ash, OF
which there are about twelve varieties two
of which specially are sought for at the
present time, one beautiful curly ash and
another with a wavy grain. Both are used
by japanese carriage builders for panels
: There are some ten varieties of maple.
One is a beautiful bird s-eye. another has
a fowery grain. The sen is used for MAX
ing furniture, for which 1t is well adapted,
since it gives good polish, does not warp
and Is quite hard and lasts well. This
wood and the ash come In logs up to forty
eight inches square.
