The Yypes of Cats.

There are a number of classes Of
Persian cats, the division between
them being purely arbitrary and based
on the color of the fur. The most
beautiful of all the Pers.ans is the
pure white. They are, how ~al, very
hard to keep clean, and dirty white
cat is certainly anything but an orna-
ment about ones rooms. 1t is unfor
tunate that many white cats are deaf,
so when one is making purchase OF
cat that color 1t is a wise precau-
ton to test the hearing Another fail
ing which white cats have, in common
with all light colered cats, Is that their
constitutions are not so vigorous az
those Of the dark haired cats.-Sp

Last Words Of John quincy Adams.

Last Words Of John quincy Adams.
The dramatic death of John Quincy
Adams on the floor of the house Of
congress gave the writers of his day
an opportunity for putting fine words
in his mouth and rearing another his
toric hero. At that time DR.. w. A..
Newell was member of congress
from New Jersey, and subsequently
became governor OF his state. He was
the first to reach the stricken man as
he sank to the floor
Dr. Newell later in life insisted that
Adams last words, spoken to him,
we're:
This is the end; quick, little
brandy"
Which doesn't accord with popular
histories of the event by long shot.

Vocation.

Every man has his own vocation.
There is one direction in which all
space is open to him. He has facul-
ties silently inviting him thither to
endless exertion. He is like a ship In
a river; he runs against distractions
on every side but one; and on that
side all obstruction is taken away, and
he sweeps serenely over a deepening
channel into an infinite sea.--Ralph
Waldo Emerson.

the danger lies. You must cure these
troubles or they may lead to dia-

remedy to use is Doan's Kidney

| WASHINGTON, June 26--In CON
nection with the work OF the National
Commission, created at the last ses-
sion OF Congress, the National Board
Of Trade is making an effort to col
lect views on monetary issues for
the presentation before the commits
sion. Notification has been sent to
all the organizations making up the
National body emphasizing the neces-
sity OF immediate consideration OF the
matter. This notice is given in a
letter issued by President Frank de Ia
lame Of the board, she points out
that il is peculiarly incumbent upon
the board 10 consider the matter in
an endeavor to agree upon the prin-
ciples Of a system for protection. The
latter adds:
The subject deals with the most
vital principle in the business world
and affects the varied interests OF
ninety millions OF people spreading
over continent with all the conse-
quent conditions OF environment.
Nothing is so sensitive as finance,
and moreover each breach Of trade Isl
inclined TO look solely upon the effect
of change upon its own immediate
interests, and there will therefore be
great difficulty in harmonizing so as
to make comprehensive national
system.
"If the main principles can be
agreed upon the necessary change
should be by gradual steps, all tend
ing steadfastly toward the desired
end, which can only be reached by
giving time so as to avoid disturb
ance OF existing conditions. Owing
to the lamentable effects OF the re-
cent financial crisis, the country
seems fully alive to the necessity OF
a change, and the opportunity should
be availed of and acted upon while
this impression continues"

Linen Is Considered the Best
Of Cloth
IS COOLER THAN COTTON
The Most Ancient Writers Tell That
the People of Their Time Shared
the Present-day Preference For
Linen.

Why is linen Cooler" than cotton1
Why is a linen sheet or garment so

from its cost always preferred to cot

says;
Can any one impressed with a

who has been made acquainted with
SO many mysteries Of the gods, should

wrap them in linen cloth, the purest

ing OF the most holy priests OF the
Egyptians. but also for covering
sacred objects
Plutarch tells us that the priests OF
Isis wore linen on account OF its
purity, and he remarks how obsurd
and inconsistent would have been
their conduct If they had carefully
plucked the hairs from their own
bodies, and yet clothed themselves in
wool, which il the hair Of the sheep.
The same writer also mentions the
opinion Of those who. thought that
flax was used for clothing because
the color of its blossom resembled the
ETHEREAL blue.
Herodotus makes statements that
show that linen was as highly regard
ed in his day as it is now. A man
wounded in an engagement, he says,
has his torn limbs bound up. "Now,
that the persons concerned
had their choice between linen and
cotton, there can be no doubt that
they would choose linen as most
suitable for such purpose Cotton,
when applied to wounds, irritates
them"
The cooling quality of linen as COM
pared to cotton is due to the fact that
the structure Of the flax fibre makes
linen a good conductor OF heat, and
one that freely condenses the vapor
Of perspiration. Notwithstanding the
fact that the cooling quality of linen
when applied to wounds has been
we'll known, it is only lately that an
absorbent linen surgical dressing
has been produced, under tile name Of
'oxolint." This is one of the by
products of the first American linen

that the European process would be

out by labor Of the very lowest cost.
There is no labor in the United States
cheap enough for this purpose and for
this reason Americans have been
sending over $20,000,000 a year to
Europe for linen. Now mills have
been built in Massachusetts, to oper-
ate the Nudge process, and there is
an assured market for the millions of
dollars worth of fax straw that we
have been burning up for years, and
a chance to get linens for little if any
more than the present cost of fine
cotton fabrics"
