among these will be a project the pro-
priety and advisability Of which will be
discussed for the holding of a course
of lectures on~.subjects pertaining TO
the Improvement of the city, as for IN
stance the treatment of the water
front, the type of architecture which
should be encouraged in the new build
ings to be erected and the beautifying
or Telegraph Hlll. Should this plan be
followed it Is probable that there will
be one lecture each month, and these
open TO the public; in fact. they will
be given principally for the city at

The Century Club is meeting every
fortnight this winter, instead OF every
week as in former times, and the gath
erings are held in the parlors of the
First Unitarian Church an Geary and
Franklin streets. The lessened number
OF meetings is directly against the by
laws of the club and is a matter OF
greatest regret to the president and
members. but under existing circum-
stances 1t seems more convenient. Many
of the members of the Century Club
are out of the city this winter, some
in the East or abroad and others living
across the bay or down the peninsula,
and, too. being out of their own hand
ference. The club will return to It's
own in September and then AFFAIRS will
proceed as before the disaster.
The Forum Club celebrated the new
year with an enjoyable reception on
Wednesday afternoon last In its at
tractive clubrooms on Bush street. II
was given only 10 the members OF the
club and those on the waiting list, but
so large is the membership that the
rooms were thronged during the after
noon. The president of the club, Mrs.
Frank Fredericks. and the other ON
GERS received the guests, and tea, punch
and other dainty refreshments were
served. Mrs. Freygang sang charm
ingly and there was much pleasant
conversation which made the afternoon
pass all too quickly. The next meet
ing of the club viii take place on We'd

 There are many euphorbias and ev- eryone of them, said the doctor, is poi son To some animal, man, beast or bird. This particular plant is poison to a rattlesnake or at least is an anti dote for the poison in the rattlesnake. Anyhow statements of this kind by so eminent an authority as Dr. kunze, should command attention and while medical men are engaged in inVeStlga- tions of one kind and another. this may be worth looking into. Dr. kunze was at one time a practicing physician In the east and has high credentials, but he is a naturalist by natural instinct and by heredity, nearly all his for bears having been scientific investiga- tors. Early-in life he became enam- ored of the cactus family and has spent many years of his later life on the western deserts in collecting and sup plying European gardens.

 A correspondent of the Associated Press spoke with witnesses of all ranks and they declared that the trial was an insult to Stoessel and his ahmy. A pdOminent coloned said: NTf Stoessel is guilty. We are all guilty"
 It is generally understood that Stoes- sel is in possession of a weapon in the shape of a telegram received by him before the surrender of Port Arthur in which the emporer said: Do not push the defense to extremeties,' meaning by this to spare the lives Of the Rus sian soldiers when their power of re- sistence was exhausted as the emper- or feared that the Japanese might re- peat the feat of their former capture of the fortress when they put to death 10000 Chinese.

THE oVERTIDY WOMAN.
How She Makes It Unpleasant For Her Friends.
From the New York Press

(From the New York Press.)
 q have a friend she began, plain lively, who is so neat that I hate to call on her. l stand on her threshold and say to myself, will it be possible for me to go across that waxed floor without risking my life?' one of her friends fell and sprained her ankle go- ing over it. Her maid has to go down on all fours every morning with brushes fastened to her hands and knees, polishing it.
 "I am afraid to sit on her couches. they are so immaculate. There might be some dust on one one day. started to lie down on one one day when I was tired, and she hurried to get a cloth to spread over the pillow. l put my hat on her bed another time. She ran to it with a cry. snatched it up and hung it in the hall on the hatrack. Nothing must touch her bed. she said. She slept on it. It's awful"
 T know just such a woman" said the man who was with her. "She has a whole house to herself. She needs a whole house and she'll soon have it all to herself. The number of her friends is rapidly diminishing. Every time I go there. and my visits are few and far between, I just wish I could bring my two boys to See her. My two boys ride two Shetland ponies. Nothing would do me more good than to start them up her front steps on those mad Shetland ponies and let them ride straight through the house helter skelter from garret to cellar"

GONE ARE THE SONG SHEETS
Gone, Also, Are the Derelicks Who
 Sold Them.

The old time song sheet as big as a newspaper has nearly disappeared. Its place has been taken by a pamphlet or book, usually with a gaudy cover and containing from forty to fifty songs. These books have q phenom- enal sale, averaging from 500,OOO to a million copies annually.
 With the song sheets have disap- peared the poor wretches who sold many of them in the streets. They were mostly derelicts. incapable of fol- lowing any other occupation. They made enough money to supply their immediate wants by peddling the sheets on the street or from one saloon to another. where most of their profits were quickly spent for drink.
 The first song sheet, according to William Delaney. was published in the early sos by Henry DeMarsans,- who had a small shop at No. 50 Chatham street and issued about four different sheets a month. After De Marsans

MEMORY IMPROVED Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor memory who never suspect coffee has anything to do with it. The drug-caffeine-in coffee, acts injuriously on the nerves and heart, causing imperfect circulation. too much in the brain at one time. too little in another part. This often causes a dullness which makes a good memory nearly impossible. 'T am nearly 70 years old and did not know that coffee was the cause of the stomach and heart trouble I suffered from for many years, until about four years ago." writes a Kan sas woman.
 "A kind neighbor induced me to quit coffee and try Posturl. I had been suffering severely and was greatly re- duced in flesh. After using Postum a little while I found myself improving: my heart beats became regular and now ! seldom ever notice any symp- toms of my olt stomach trouble at all. My nerves are steady and my memory decidedly better than while I was using coffee.
 "I like the taste of Postum fully as well as coffee. My sister told me two years ago that she did not like it. but when l showed her how to make it according to directions, she thought it was delicious.
 Tt is best to pour cold water over your Postum, let it come to a boil. then boil 15 minutes. That brings out the flavor and full food value"

kidneys and bladder constitute the greatest source
of disease. Cure these and we remove the cause
of nearly all ailments Of the Liver. Blood, Stomach

not be noticed. Here are some Of the most common
symptoms of this dangerous disease:
Discolored or dark urine, sometimes excessive
and of pale color.
Unusual desire to urinate, especially at night.
"Brck Dust" deposits, sometimes containing
albumen and blood.
Swelling around eyes, ankles and abdomen.
Drowsiness and n constant tired feeling.

Plans Sixty-Acre Orchard
On Island

A New York city man whose name
has not been given out as yet has
purchased 60 acres of land on Isle
La Motto, Lake Champlain, which
he proposes to set out in apples at
once, thus starting the first COM
mercial orchard in this greatest of
all apple producing districts in New
England
The farmers in Grand Isle county
probably get greater revenue per
acre from their farms than any other
agriculturists in the state, because,
almost without exceptie n, rich or
chard is to be found on every farm
Attracted by the big apple crops of
the last few years, other capitalists
besides the New Yorker are talking

Great Athletic Meet.

Five star athletes from the UNI
versity won the intercollegiate cham
pionship in the Harvard stadium
Saturday in what proved to be Sc
ries of the most wonderful athletic
performances ever performed on the
American cinder track. New inter-
collegiate records were made in six
out of sixteen events, an d one more
record would have gone down, that
of the hurdles, had not the officials
decided that the runners were too
much favored by the wind. Penn
sylvania was given splendid fight
for the first place by seven men
from the University of Michigan,
the score being Pennsylvania, 80;
Michigan 80 Yale was a good
third with % points, while Cornell,
Princeton, Syracuse, Harvard,
Swarthmore, Dartmouth, Amherst,
Williams and Johns Hopkins finish
ed in that order.
intercollegiate records were brok-
en- in the mile, the shot, the quarter
mile, the two-mile, the high jump
and the pole vault.

A Cold Spring of Former DAYS.

Apropos of the present cold and
backward spring, W. G. Robe of
Franklin, Vt, recalls the unseason-
able weather of May Is, 1884. The
spring had been warm one, the
grain had been sowed, and fruit
trees were in blossom. Rain began
to fall May 13, the weather became
cold, and it showed all day, May a.
The morning of May Is there were
Is inches of snow on the ground
There were many forest worms on
the trees at the time and they were
exterminated for several years.
When the snow went away the
weather came warm again and there
was a good crop of corn raised that
season. Mr.. Robe was then in the
18th year of his age. Joseph
Northrup of st. Albars says he has
heard an older brother tell of going,
after this storm, with an OK team
hitched to sled, through the deep
snow to the woods, where the sheep
and lambs had sought shelter.

A tragic incident took place Sun
day during a review of the troops
by King Victor Emmanuel and
Queen Helena at Rome. As a part
