Royalty and Industry.

The education of modern royal
ladies' seems to run along more prac-
teal lines than 1t did formerly. In
dustrial art is favored by many OF
them, and a German paper recently
asserted that should the great ladies
now in the public eye suddenly be de-
prlved of their fortunes they could
readily support themselves. The
writer mentioned Princess Carl of
Sweden, daughter of King Fred
erick VIII. OF Denmark, who Is quite
skillful at making children's toys, a
trade In which Princess Tageborg of
Sweden is an expert. The Archduch-
ess of Austria amuses herself by max
ing beautifully waXed candles She
adds scent to them and molds them
with her own hands. The Duchess
Philip of Wurtemberg spends much
of her spare time making surgical
bandages and elastic supports and
stockings. She has reached such
degree of proficiency that some OF
her ideas have been taken up by a
German company. Princess Arnulf
OF Bavaria is a fine lacemaker.--

How He Beat the Road.

Some years ago there lived in Ar
kansas man named Reynolds who
owned narrow gauge railroad from
Malvern Junction to Hot Springs. 1t
was partly due to the fact that he had
put by neat little fortune, and part
ly to his habit of wearing an .enor-
nous diamond shirt stud that he had
won the nickname of Diamond Joe.
1t was Diamond Joe's boast that
no one had ever stolen a ride on his
little twenty-five mile road; and, not
content with telling this to his
friends, he offered reward of 500
and suit of clothes to the man who
could do 1t.
One clear moonlight night a man
came into his office, dripping from
head to foot.
rs this Mr.. Reynolds" he asked.
"Yes," replied the owner of the
narrow gauge road. involuntarily
glancing out to see If it was raining.
well, I've come for that suit of
clothes and the 500, I've beat my

were no dwellings near save a small
cottage which had once been occupied
by an old negro farm hand, and was
now used as sort Of shelter and
storehouse by the men working on
the new railroad close by. The men
would all be away on the Fourth, the
boys agreed among themselves, and

1t seemed little strange to Sadie

too, for she suspected that there was

Winds and Fish.

A singular correspondence has
lately been brought to light between
the prevailing direction of the wind
on the coast of New South Wales and
the average catch of fish. The winds
influence the ocean currents, which
in turn influence the course Of the
fish. These influences have periods
of three or four years. Thus in 1898
there was a general scarcity of fish,
but afterward they became more and
more abundant up to 1901. In 1905
there was another scarcity of fish,
but the next year they began to re-
turn in increasing numbers. The
cause of these variations was mys-
terry until the coincidence with the
prevailing direction of the coastal
winds was noticed. Now it is thought
that by the study of the winds the
prospects of the fishermen may be
predicted two or three years in ad-
vance.-Youth's Companion.

Effective Work For the Indians.


AS result of the propaganda work
that is now being carried IN by the
East Indians in behalf of women,
womankind all over Hindostan is be-
coming awakened, writes Saint Nihal
Sing, in the Southern Workman. The
members of the weaker" sex are be-
ginning to insist upon being allowed
to come into their own. In many
parts of Hindostan women are no
longer confined in their houses, and
early marriage has entirely been done
away with in educated circles. The
people have commenced to realize
that if boy is educated, just one man
is educated, but, on the contrary, If
girl is enlightened, it means the uplift
of the whole family. India has begun
to feel that the East Indian women
are the country's best asset. They
mould and fashion the destiny of the
nation and fix its character.
The present generation has pro-
duced women of whom India is proud.
Into the learned professions Hindostan
has sent her daughters. AS doctors
of religion, law, literature, medicine,
philosophy, music, and there are East
Indian women who can hold their own
not only with the women but also
with the men of other countries of
the world. True, they are few nu-
merically; but they are like the yeast
which though proportionately very
small, leavens the whole mass. The
masses of East Indian women are
still backward and much remains to
be done; but a beginning has been
made. Once proper provision is made
for the education of the Indian wom-
an her evolution will proceed apace.
The East Indian woman, no matter
how illiterate she may be, Is usually
able to recite from memory scores
of pages of religious and epic work,
not merely like a parrot. but with
understanding. The woman of Hin
dostan is quick in intelligence and
perception, and the metaphysical and
religious training she has had for
generations make her an apt and will"
ing student.

breaking the geouence.

The discussion concerning the care
of mothers and other aged relatives
recalls the story of man who was
conveying his old father to the aims
house. The son said to his weeping
parent, You may cry, but there you
shall 60" The old man replied: 81
cry because 1 remember how l took
my father this same journey unheed-
ing his tears" Thereupon the son
arrested his steps, saying: Come
back to my home, lest, some day, my
son serve me as you served your faith.

reaching the scene of action A
pungent smell of smoke filled the air,
and as the two girls came in sight OF
the cottage the first glance told them
that 1t was ON fire.
"Stay here. Bessie" commanded
Sadie; "dont go one step further!"
Then, quickly sklrting the small gar
den plot, she tore around to the back,
Just in time to see the terrified boys
making off as fast as their legs would
carry them. Then, before she could
turn around, she felt herself being
lifted off her feet and carried rapidly
away, and a minute afterward there
was a tremendous roar, great sheet

had felt sure for some days past that
he had some secret plan in his mind.
Suddenly the distant sound Of ex-
ploding crackers was borne upon the
wind to her listening ears.

LYDIA E. PINKHKM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering
of women or received so many gen.
uine testimonials as has Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
In every community you will ind
women who have been restored to

hundred thousand letters from women
seeking health, and here are the let
ters In which they openly state over
their own signatures that they were

etable Compound,
Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is made from roots and
herbs, without drugs, and is whole

Noise.

Noise at first cultivated in this
land by the Indians, has reached its
climax in the college yell, 1t is used
at political conventions, at christen-
lngs and at womep's clubs.
No monument was necessary for
the man who first invented noise. His
work lives after him.
Noise Is used by cities, which have
the first call for it, They split It up
into as many sounds as possible and
divide 1t among all.
Noise varies in its volume and in
tensity, from embryonic and imma-
ture sawmill to baby crying In the
night.-Life.

Healthiest Of cities.

Buenos Ayres is the healthiest city
in the world. It's average mortality
is only 14.5 a thousand. The same
year it was 27.9 in Madrid, 1872 in
Vienna, 1913 in Paris, 1875 in London
and 1876 in Berlin. The percentage
of infant mortality proves the benefit
of the system of public hygiene of the
favored city. The mortality of In
fants up to one year Is never greater
than S.3. In Paris the infant NOR
tally rate is IL. 1t is 20 in Berlin,
Is in Vienna and 40 in st. Peters,

that Fourth of July that he never

being the only boy in the family, had
an idea that he ought to be allowed
a little more freedom than his sisters
They were only girls, anyway ne
argued, and girls had no business In
crowd, especially when there were
bombs and cannon to be let on; put
a boy-well, a boy could go anywhere
and be safe.
But Mr.. Dayton, Joe's father, evil
IDENTIFY held different opinion, 1or
he said, very decidedly, that Joe could
not take part in the village celebra-
ton. BEST place for boys is home, ="
he added, as he went out to the field
with his men. And Joe knew that ar.
gument was worse than useless.
But in his way Joe was just as de-
termfned as his father, and If he
couldn't go to the village he said to
himself, he would have little cele-
bration of his own at home. He had
some pocket money hidden away in a
little old trunk up in the garnet, and
with that he would buy all the fire
crackers he wanted. He would find a
secluded place, far enough from the
house to insure himself against de-
lection, and there he would let them
off.
1t did not occur to him then that
he would have rather lonesome time
of it letting off his firecrackers by
himself; but few days later, when
the Elton boys and Jack Hardy came
into the store where he was buying
his firecrackers to make their own
purchases, his secret became all at
once too good to keep. The result
was that the other boys agreed to
join forces with him, and It was ar
ranged between them that they would
have what they called "bang-up
good time" all together.
