Japan's Empress Popular.

It is doubtful if any royal consort is
more loved by her people than is the
empress of Japan. Educated accord
ing to feudal ideas and skilled in all
the accomplishments BETTING one Of
her social eminence, her majesty
strongly favors the broadness of the
new education for women and from
her private purse gives large sums
toward the maintenance of women's
schools and universities. During the
war with Russia the empress visited
the hospitals many times and every
day passed hours making bandages.
The effect of these bandages upon the
wounded soldiers has been of deep in
terest to medical and scientific men,
for the soldiers honored by them
seemed to rally under a peculiar men
tai influence. All other bandages were
destroyed after their first use; those
made by the empress were sterilized
and used again for the simple reason
of their effect on the recovery of the
soldiers.

Washington.-Presi Roosevelt's
annual message to congress occupied
the attention of the senate for two
and one-half hours Tuesday, to the ex-

Maryland and the adoption of appro-
pirate resolutions regarding those
members of the house of representa-
tives who have died since the last
session.
The reading of the presidents mes

five minutes in the house, and was fol-
lowed closely by a large number OF
members, while the crowded galleries
gave close consideration.
While the house waited upon the

NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the oId-Time
"AppIe-Jack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom OF
making New Years calls was de
rghtful one for all concerned, until
some of the boys got more "egg-nog
or "apple-iack" than they could sue
cessfully carry.
Then the ladies tried to be charit-
able and the gentlemen tried to be
as chivalrous as ever and stand up at
the same time.
If anyone thinks there has not been
considerable improvement made in the
last quarter of century in the use
OF alcoohlic beverages, let him stop
to consider, among other things, the
fact that the old custom of New Years
calls and the genteel tipping is nearly
obsolete.
The custom of calling on ones
friends, however, at the beginning of
the new year, is good habit, and an
other good habit to start at that time
is the use of well-made Postum in
stead of coffee or spirits.
A Staten Island doctor has SEN
sible daughter who has set Postum
before her guests as a good thing to
drink at Yule Tide. and good way
to begin the New Year. Her father
writes:

out. He fell on his head and was
rolled over by the buggy striking
him. One ear was badly lacerated,
his face SCARED and scratched
and one arm and hand cut and

carry him. He is able to walk about
some and is getting on as well as
