How MANY of our readers are aware
that the Government makes winter
and summer postage stamp? It's
a fact, though. The summer stamp
carries only a very thin coating OF
mucilage, while the winter stamp is
treated much more literally with the
s'gum stickem."

LIFE OF A CENTURY AGO.

One hundred years ago man
could not take ride on steamboat.
He could not go from Washington
to New York in few hours.
He had never seen an electric light
or dreamed of an electric car.
He could not send telegram.
He couldn't talk through the tele-
phone, and he had never heard of the
hello girl.
He could not ride bicycle.
He could not call in stenographer
and dictate letter.
He had never received type-writ-
ten communication.
He never looked pleasant before a
photographer or had his picture taken.
He had never heard phcnograph
talk or seen a kinetoscope turn out
prize fight.
He never saw through Webster's
unabridged dictionary with the aid
of Roentgen ray.
He had never taken ride on an
elevator.
He had never imagined such
thing as type setting machine or a
typewriter.
He had never used anything but a
wooden plow.
He had never seen his wife use
sewing machine.
He had never purchased ten-cent
magazine, which would have been
regarded as miracle of art.
He couldn't take an ansesthetic and
have his leg cut off without feeling it.
He had never struck match.
He could not buy paper and learn
things that had happened the day be-
fore all over the world.
He had never seen REAPER or self
binding harvester.
He had never crossed an iron
bridge.
In short, there were several things
that he could not do, and several
things he did not know WG6bW'0ra.

ONE of the many little things that
make English country house visiting
so delightful has been brought over
to this country and, of course, i'm
proved upon so far as the matter of
spending money is concerned. This
is the Visitors Time Table, a print
ed form containing such information
as the hours for "early tea, that is
brought to the guests beside; break
fast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, the
times of arrival and departure of mails
and of the local trains.
In English houses these cards are
set in the simplest and least expen-
sive leather farmes but in the houses
of wealthy Americans, nothing less
will do than solid silver ones costing
any where from SIS to $50.

Tartar is more easily prevented
than removed. Prevention may be
compassed by any ordinary tooth
powder and brush. Removal ne
cessitates either the dentists scaling
instruments or the use of acids. The
danger with acids is their power OF
destroying the enamel of the teeth
and so opening the way for decay.
Still, the following plan, it carefully
carried out, will not involve much
risk:
Add IS drops of dilute hydrochlo-
ride acid to two teaspoonfuls OF wa
ter. Make small roll of fragment
Of unbleached calico. Dip in the
liquid and rub briskly over the teeth.
Then apply soft brush dipped in
water and covered with camphorated
chalk. Finally, rinse the mouth
with water.

THE people who win their way in
to the inmost recesses of others hearts
are not usually the most brilliant and

DIAGNOSIS
NOT MADE
Judge Whitney Declines
to Act as Medical
Expert.

Judge Whitney had an attack of cold
feet yesterday afternoon during the
course of the trial of Chun Fook Yam
for an assault upon All Moo, the old
Chinese woman who peudles eggs
around the town and who is common
ly known as Mama" Mama had
limped into the witness stand to tell
of the beating given her by the pris-
oner, describing the various bruises
she bore as a result. w. Rawlns, her
attorney, thereupon invited his honor
to inspect these bruises for himself.
Judge Gear, attorney for the defense,
assured the bench that he had no per-
sonal objections to offer and Mama be-
gan to play with the buttons of her
Chinese garments to show that she had
no objections either. The judge stop
ped her hastily, assuring the attorneys
that he had never been in Missouri in
his life. In Difference to his bushes
Rawlins did not urge his request.
From the evidence brought out at the
trial it appears that the feud between
Mama and the defendant dates back to
the time when they We're rival agents
for che ia bank. Prior to this rival
ry the pair had been upon such good
terms that the man had been invited
to drop in at her home and kick the
husband out. Whether he did so or not
was not made clear, the witness in
forming Judge Gear that his questions
along this line were not seemly. a
Chinaman who had acted as a peace
maker was put upon the stand, his evil
dence going to show that Mama her
helf had been the aggressor in the fight
and had only got what was coming to
her. After the witness had rescued
the man from her attacks she had
threatened to nail him with a rock
and in being prevented in her purpose
had pounded herself on the forehead
with the missile. Her attorney wanted
to know if she had also hit herself with
her fist in the small of her back hard
enough to leave a black and blue
bruise, at the mention of which the
presiding justice showed further signs
of embarrassment. In view of the con-
ficting evidence of the prosecutions
witnesses, the contradictory statements
of Mama herself and the fact that on
one or two occasions she forgot to limp
as she moved around, the accused was
pronounced not guilty.
The perjury charge against Chau
Chang, the police court interpreter, was
called yesterday afternoon, an impos-
ing array of counsel being present for
and against the defendant. The case
was again adjourned, this time until
the afternoon of December 10.
At the morning session Kajuta was
committed for trial in the Circuit
Court, the charge against him being
assault with dangerous weapon.

WAR TALK SILLY.

ANY idea that Japan wants a war
with us is preposterous,' said one of
the leading Republican Senators re-
Gently. Japan needs our friendship
now more than we need hers. She
has not forgotten the close shave she
had with he Russians. 1t was all she
could do to finance that war. although
it seemed easy enough to the outsider.
Japan could not raise money for a war
against the United States Her own
financiers have not the many millions
necessary She could not persuade tho
money lords of Europe to lend it to her.
war with the United States could
have but one ending, as the Japanese
statesmen we'll know. and it would
wreck the japanese government finan-
cially.
1T is absolutely silly" continued this
statesman. Ito talk about a war with
Japan. 1t is almost as silly to talk
about our going to war with any ma
tion of the world. None of them want
to fight us, because they would have

committees of Senate and House is to
prevent them from becoming O.00O, 900
a year. A big navy is tremendously
expensive. In this country it has not
vet become burdensome because the
revenues are enormous. But the cost
OF the navy, the army and of pensions
now constitutes IS per cent. approx
mately of the entire government ex-
penses. Those figures are appalling to
the legislators who have studied them,
for apparently there is no possibility
of turning back, and the time may
come when the dominant party will be
oyerthrown for what critics will style
greater military extravaganza than any
other country of the world has been
guilty of.
So while the officers of the navy are
high-grade men as a rule, and also an
patriotic as the rest of their fellow
citizens, their eagerness for a test OF
military strength is not shared by
Congress or by the people of the coun-
try. Following the Philippine insur
rection and the Spanish-American war,
the war talk centered on Germany. 1t,
too originated chiefly with naval Off
GERS who rung the changes on the hos
tile attitude Of Won Diedrich toward
Admiral Dewey after the battle of Ma
Mia Bay. For months the papers We're
full of the possibilities of a clash with
Germany for supremacy on the seas,
and all sorts of tales were printed.
Little has been heard of the German
war talk since the peace of Ports
mouth. The little oracles that declare
war and describe naval campaigns
have been busy imagining how we are
to maintain control of the Pacific in
the years to come and they have for
