GERMANY HELPS BOYS.
Looks Up Positions for Them eefor

Looks Up Positions for Them Before
They Leave School.
When an American boy. leaves
school he does not always know what
sort of work he wants or is fit for.
Or even when he knows exactly what
kind of job he desires, he often does
not know at all how: to find it. Such
a job as he aims for ;,may: not exist
within his opportunities of place and
time. So the boy leaving school may
drift into an unsuitable occupation, or,
worse, into no occupation at: all, in
spite of an honest wish originally to
work. In Germany they order these
things better. -
Every year printed schedules Of
comprehensive questions are: sent to
every head teachr of the Munich
schools to be distributed among the
pupils who are going to leave the
schools that year. :, =:
The pupils are asked to put them
selves in communication with the mu.
nicipal labor bureau, which will ad-
wise them as to the choice Of voca.
tion, and, give them the best chance
possible to secure work.
Yearly circulars are also sent to all
the trade guilds and other labor so.
cieties to enlist their cooperation.
The children respond readily to the
aid given them. Boys come by dozens
to the Offices Of the bureau in search
of positions as apprentice or. begin
ner. Each brings form of applica
ton filed up by himself; but signed
by his teacher
When the bureau finds place fol
him he is notified by post card and
presents himself for examination by
the employer, wherever and whenever
the latter may appoint.
sWhther r. the boy takes the job o,
not, he must report to the bureau the
result of the interview, and this goes
| on until work is procured, which suits
him and which hezissable to do. "'*',
For the direction of the boys the
labor bureau has prepared, with the
aid of expert employers and pedica
| men, "a handbook Of the industries
Lopez to- a boy. This handbook de
scribes the different kinds of work
the: qualifications necessary to each
the prospects of promotion or steady
employment, the health conditions
the dangers and difficulties, the cos
and time of training and everything
l'else which the boy and his parents
ought to know before choosing his ca
reer. IF
A ladies' committee has lately. beer
appointed to look after the girls, also
from the schools. So the young PEG
pie Of Munich have first-rate chance
COR good start in life.

FAMlLY's SKIN TROUBLES.
Eczema, Heat Rash, and Scalp Aztec
tions Afflict Different Members,
But Cuticura Cures Them.

my wife had eczema for five or six
years. It was on her face and would
come and go. We thought we would
give the Cuticura Remedies trial. We
did so and she has never had a sign of
eczema for four years. I myself used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
some time ago for falling hair. I now
have a very heavy head of hair. We
used Cuticura Remedies for our baby,
who was nearly bald when young. She
has very nice hair now. She is very
f1eshy, and we had so much trouble
with heat that we would battle her
with Cuticura Soap and then apply
Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the
heat up so much quicker than any.

Beyond#a doubt, the two most lhter.
esting bridal debutantes in Washing:
ton, next winter will be Mrs. Bourke
Cochran and the handsome young*wife
of Senator Beverage. They will be
the toasts of congressional society,
Mrs. Cochran, to whom, when pretty
child, as Anne Ide,> daughter of the
governor general of the Philippines,
her friend, Robert Louis Stevenson,
Enthusiastically willed, his birthday, in
due. documentary form, is lineal
southerner, her own natal day falling
on Christmas, which she much. OBJ
jected to. She was reared in Calhoun
county, Alabama, and in Jacksonville
of that state, where her father, Henry
Clay IQe, previous to his Philippine
appointment by President Mckinley,
was prosperous merchant. He is a
native of Alabama.
Mrs. Cochran's beauty is of dis.
tinctly southern type. She has I'm.
common grace of manner. Her golden
hair, which she usually wears coronet
fashion, as does Mrs. Timmons, the
beautiful young brown-tressed daugh'
ter Of the vice president, is one of her
most enviable possessions Mrs. Bev.
eridge is said to have pretty taste
in politics. One expects the home OF
the Beverages next winter to be a
veritable salon, frequented by keen
wits.
Another new congressional hostess
Of the Sixtieth congress who is a
champion winner of hearts, is the
young wife of Capt. Richmond Pear
son Hobson, herself not so very much
more than a bride.
Last season the popular Hobson got
a happy running start, socially, after
the captains election, at the fashion
able apartment house, the Connect
cut" where their Tuesdays were liter
ally mobbed. Next winter the for
tunate young couple will entertain
with more eclat under their own ar
borial perquisites at 2117 S street
where the gallant hero Of the Merri'
mac and few other things, has pur'
chased the handsome residence, lately
owned and occupied by Baron Grip
the former minister from Norway and
Sweden. The baron placed the house
on the market when his two native
CD countries were divorced. Mrs
Hobson, born Hull, of Louisville, will
be close neighbor to her intimate
chum, Mrs. Eaton J. Bowers, another
popular congressional hostess, wife o.
the representative from Bay St. Louis
Miss. BY the unique washington
usage, Mrs. Hobson, although a com

is congressional debutante, will have

Preserves Now Packed Elsewhere:


Down in North Carolina said: a
Washingtonian the other day, "a we'll
known family has had the habit for
generations of having the caskets fo1
the various members of the family
prepared years in advance OF the an.
ticipated demise of any member. A
special room has been provided for the
collins and for a number of years the
women folk have packed jars of pre-:
serves in the caskets as the sweets
kept well when so packed. About two
years ago one of the members of the
family died and after she had been
placed in one of the caskets it was
sealed and placed in the room togeth
'er with the other collins. Later the
funeral cortege wendell it's way to the
neighboring cemetery and deposited
the casket in vault preparatory to a
later interment. The next day one OF
the members Of the family went :tc
the coffin room" to get a jar OF pre-
serves, opened the top of one of the
collins and revealed the features Of he,
relative. Now it is said the stores ID
preserves and jellies are packed in an

I went to see the doctor about them.

Cali hearts sound alike on these
modern Ships said the surgeon of a
transatlantic liner. although the
hull Of the average modern steamer
is bigger and supposedly less subject
to the violence of the sea, the ma

has been increased in size. With the
increase in the size of the engines
there has followed greater vibration.
ut is this vibration which makes it
impossible for us to read truly the &C.

have tried repeatedly by all manner
of means to overcome the influence

Astonishing Longevity Of the Race
Attributed to Fact That the People
Live Chiefly on Milk-Ate. Milk a
Fortnight Old.
1t is estimated that the Bulgarians
live longer than any other race in Eu-
rope and that there are at the present
in that country who are centenar1ans,
one inhabitant in every thousand hav-
ing achieved the century mark. The
astonishing longevity of this race is at
tributed to the fact that the people live
chiefly on milk. It is by no means un.
common for them to drink milk even
after it has become sour.
An example of the result of this
simple diet was found recently in a
very old man, cobbler by trade, who
preserved his faculties in the most
wonderful way, and was asked by the
representative of a we'll known daily
paper what was the diet on which he
had been able to live so long and so
well.
Ate MIX a Fortnight Ola. .
For reply he pointed to number of
little bowls of milk placed outside the
window of his house. Every day he
bought a certain quantity of milk and
put it into bowl. There it remained
for four days, at the end of which time
it had not only got sour but had
solicited to the consistency of curds.
On this, and this alone, he lived, with
great benefit to his health and
strength, the milk being always exact
ly a fortnight old before it was ready
to be digested.
The practical value of the diet was
abundantly proved recently when an
Irish woman died at the age of los.
For more than forty years she had
lived only on milk with little bread.
This was due in part to the fact that
she was poor and thus compelled to
to the fact that she did not have to
waste time in cooking or to spend
much time over her meals.
Vital Organs Well Preserved.
So excellently nourished was she by
her simple diet that when the post
mortem examination was made it was
found that, although she had heart dis.
ease, the rest of her organs were so
well preserved that they presented the
appearance which would be found in a
woman of between 30 and 40
1t would not be advisable for any
one to begin with a large quantity of
milk, for so much fluid would be likely
to cause indigestion. The quantity
must be led up to gradually. 1t is in
this way that milk is employed in the
Weir Mitchell treatment, when pa
tients are made to live for weeks or
even months at time on it in? order
to regain their lost vitality and ner-
vous strength.
