SOME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS.
Queen Of Holland Has Agreed to Rec.
ognlze Vatican Titles.

Among the lucrative sources of rev.
enue of the pope before the separa-
ton of church and state in France was
the toll or tax on titles of nobility
and decorations. Since the rupture
the French government no longer rec
ognizes the ennobling titles and dec
orations Of the holy father To have
the right to wear the Vatican ribbon,
or to be called count, it was necessary
to obtain a confirmation of title. This
gave much perplexity to the candi.
dates.
The question has just been settled.
Queen Wilhelmina has consented to
validate such titles and distinctions.
The result has been an amusing pill
grimage to The Hague-and also in
an increase in the price of these pom
tifical favors.

Knights of the Golden Spur, of the
Holy Sepulcher, of Christ, of Gregory

Helen Keller's heroic struggles. I'M
daunted perseverance and wonderful
achievements are now about to fur
nish inspiration to many in far
distant land who are struggling to
gain an education under difficulties.
The Christian Literature society of
Madras has just added to it's anna

one anna, or two cents, an abridged
life of the blind and deaf student.
This Indian version closes with the
beautiful thought written by Miss
Keller in her diary in 1894. when she
was but Ia years of age. II find that
have four things to learn in my
school life here, and, indeed, in life:
to think clearly without hurry or con.
fusion, to love everybody sincerely, to
act in everything with the highest
motives, and to trust in the dear God
unhesitatingly."

HOMEMADE cATARRH CURE.
Sufferers Should Make This Up and

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of it's kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the fol-
lowing prescription, it is supposed, be-
cause of it's promptness in driving
from the blood and system every YES
tige of catarrhal poison, relieving this
foul and dread disease, no matter
where located. To prepare the mix
ture: Get from any good pharmacy
one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one ounce Compound Kargon and
three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake well and use in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime.
This is harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain
from the blood and system all ca
tarrhal poisons, which, if not eradi-
Gated, are absorbed by the mucous
membrane, and an open sore or ca
tarrh is the result
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh

Candidates for admission to the con.
sular service will hereafter have to
submit to an examination into their
conversational abilities, says Youths
Companion. They must know one
modern language besides English,
something Of the varied resources of
the United States, be familiar with
political economy and the elements of
international, commercial and mari
time law, and have knowledge of mod
ern history. Their fitness in these re-
spects will be tested by written ex-
animation. Then they will be exam
lned orally to discover whether they
use good English in conversation,
whether they can maintain their end
of an argument with courtesy and
tact, and, in short, to ascertain wheth-
er they will do credit to their coun-
try IL sent abroad to represent it..
The oral test will count for as much
as the written test in determining the
eligibility of the candidate. Those
who pass will have to be good all

BY D. NJ. AMs5ERRY,

IL was Wellington who said that
when man turns in bed he should
turn out; It is time for him to arise.
Should mother who has been kept
awake half the night by teething in
FAINT turn out whenever she turns, or
literary man who finds that his best
thoughts come to him the hour be
fore he rises in The morning? Ger
tainly, if one expects to rise early he
should go to bed early, for II is false
economy of time to deprive oneself
of necessary sleep. But what is nee
essary sleep? That depends upon
your age your health the work you
do, and the way you sleep; for there
is quality of sleep as we'll as quantity,
and one man will sleep as much
dreamless sleep in an hour as an.
other will in three or four who sees
disturbing visions or is attacked by
nightmare. We know what is laid
down as the regulation quantity of
sleep. 1t Is six hours for a man,
seven for a woman, and eight for a
fool; but many of us are foolish in
this respect. When staying at no.
tel one may uotice young men who,
though they are neither at work nor
at play, but browsing in a chair in a
crowded smoking-room, will not go to
bed until one or two o'clock in the
morning. It looks as if they had
bound themselves under solemn
VOW not to do so. This is sure way
of creating a habit of sleeplessness,
says New York Weekly. Sleepless-
ness is a habit, and one that is pro-
duced by late hours putting us past
our sleep. 1t is nonsense to say that
we cannot go to sleep If we retire
early Rather, it is harder to do this
IL we take rest so late and eat the
bread of carelessness in the shape of
an indigestible supper. Do not excite
your brain with mental work just
before your usual time for sleep.
have good conscience, and at least
an hour of beauty sleep before IL
o'clock, and you will be able to rise,

before the sluggard has nerved him
self to take the awful plunge-out of
bed.

Many wonderful things happen in
this country. One of them is the
recent election to the United States
senate from western state of the
son of an immigrant who came to
this country in the steerage in the
middle of the last century, and later
married fellow steerage passenger
But this is not so wonderful as the
presence in the senate of another
man who came over in the steerage
himself, and has risen to a position
of power and influence.
